Yun Ye's mother didn't care about her daughter's little move, she had already started looking around the city lord's mansion. What made her slightly disappointed was that she didn't see any resplendent and jeweled decorations inside, which was quite different from what she had imagined, and her original idea of going back with something was in vain.
But she cheered up quickly, walked up to the middle-aged man who was still arguing with her before, turned sideways and said to Yun Ye:
"Girl, you judge me, I said I want him to give up the house, but he refuses, I told him, now you are the woman next to the city lord, he dares to blow his beard and stare at me, like What's it like? I've heard people say that a new official has three fires when he takes office, and I say the first fire should be on him, otherwise no one will dare to bully you in the future!"
When the middle-aged man first saw Yun Ye coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, he felt a little guilty. He is just an ordinary citizen in Yuxi City, but the ancestral estate is relatively close to the City Lord's Mansion. If the girl next to the city lord is really interested in his property and forces him to hand it over, he can only obediently give it up.
Unexpectedly, Yun Ye walked up to the middle-aged man, bent down almost without hesitation, and offered to apologize to him.
The middle-aged man was a little dumbfounded.
Yun Ye's mother stared, and complained to Yun Ye again:
"Why, am I still a villain? Who did I work so hard to get people to vacate this house? Isn't it for you? I didn't drink water when I woke up early in the morning, and my mouth was going to be worn out, no Is it because you are worried that you need someone to take care of you living alone in the city lord's mansion, so you plan to live as close to you as possible? Why don't you appreciate it, girl."
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the group of seven aunts and eight aunts behind him, and said to Yun Ye:
"And they came to see you because they were worried about you. If you don't get more money, how can you accommodate them? If you really want to let a bunch of people squeeze into a sesame-sized house, you don't think it's embarrassing, but I don't." It's a shame."
A group of relatives who didn't even have any impression of Yun Ye came up and shouted, scrambling to say to Yun Ye:
"Yunye, do you remember Auntie? When you were full moon, Auntie still hugged you!"
"Yunye, ten years ago when you came to uncle's house, uncle greeted you for dinner, do you remember? Now that you are well-off, you can't forget uncle."
"Come here, let my aunt have a look... Hey, you're so good, I said that this girl Yunye is blessed, look at her eyebrows, she is not poor, she is a golden phoenix! This is your cousin, Yun Ye, hey, do you remember? When we are rich, we have to miss the people from our hometown. You, arrange a job for him in the City Lord’s Mansion. It’s not too much a month, just a gold coin, but this job is worth a thousand dollars. Don't be too tired... "
Yun Ye was surrounded in the center, and her ears were filled with laughter and laughter for a while, her thin body was pulled back and forth, like a solitary boat.
After finally squeezing out from the crowd, Yun Ye's mother quietly patted her hand and said:
"I wanted to ask you for some money as a dowry for your brother. But when I heard that you became a high-ranking official, I discussed with your brother and canceled the previous marriage. The girl named Yanqi , but she is the daughter of a blacksmith's family, how can she be worthy of our current status? You are working in the city lord's mansion now, and all you come into contact with are high-ranking and famous nobles. Why don't you do more, find something better for your brother Object."
Before Yun Ye could speak, the woman went on to say:
"How much salary do you receive every month now? At least a few gold coins. In this way, you keep one gold coin for yourself, and give the rest to Mom, who will keep it for you. Let your brother get rich with you, these He has had a lot of hard times in the past year, so it's time to enjoy it. Anyway, you probably don't need money, if you don't have money, just go to the city chief."
She stretched out her hand, and without waiting for Yun Ye's consent, she touched the bag at her waist directly.
Yun Ye instinctively took a step back and frowned. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind——
If you don't refuse, the brothers and sisters will go hungry again.
Obviously want to take them to eat delicious food, obviously want to buy them some new clothes. But when the big open hand came down, Yun Ye didn't know how to react for a while. Everyone was looking at her, as if they were looking at a big cake at a banquet, and everyone was thinking about how to cut it to get the sweetest piece.
Yun Ye's mother's eyes were shining, and a huge and inexhaustible wealth was in front of her eyes.
The falling of that hand meant that although Yun Ye's identity was different from the past, she could still demand greedily from Yun Ye as before. As long as she can always be above Yun Ye's head, no matter what height Yun Ye rises to in the future, she will be the biggest beneficiary, and she can unscrupulously squeeze all the value of Yun Ye.
It's a pity that that hand didn't touch Yunye's bag in the end.
It doesn't feel good to be grabbed by someone's wrist in a hurry, especially when the other party's strength is so strong that her wrist hurts.
I don't know if she thought about Yun Ye's feelings when she pulled Yun Ye's wrist just now, but at this moment the woman didn't even have time to raise her head before she cursed directly:
"Who is so short-sighted?"
After finishing speaking, she looked up along the hand that was holding her wrist, just in time to meet Lied's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
She didn't know Lide, but Yun Ye had already taken a step back and said respectfully:
"I have seen the Lord City Lord."
The woman was stunned for a while, wondering whether she should salute him or not. The pain in her arm made her sweat coldly, but she didn't dare to cry out at all. Hu Luo, Yun Ye's elder brother, was attracted by the girls following Li De at this time, especially one of the girls with double ponytails, who noticed Hu Luo's gaze and turned her head, showing him a charming smile. This made Hu Luo's heart beating uncontrollably, and he, who had never seen the world, was fascinated instantly.
Lid smiled and asked:
"Are you Yunye's mother?"
The woman nodded hurriedly.
Lide raised his chin at Hu Luo again, and asked:
"That's Yunye's brother, your son?"
The woman continued to nod, seeing that Lide seemed to be chatting with her, her eyes became eager again.
Unexpectedly, Li De's smile disappeared, and he looked puzzled:
"It's not like that. I see that you are wearing floral silk and satin. This material is much better than the gray and white cloth that Yun Ye usually wears. The powder on the face is also a bit particular. I think it should be bought in the city, so don't talk about a box. One or two silver coins too? Look at the little brother standing there, looking like the eldest son of a poor family who has to bear many responsibilities. It can't be where he came from Liar, have you bullied my people in Yuxi City?"
The woman was anxious, and hurriedly said to Yun Ye:
"Hey, please explain to the city lord and tell him that we are a family!"
Yunye stretched out her hand towards Lide, still gritted her teeth and said:
"My lord, I am very sorry. This... is my mother."
The woman laughed immediately, and said proudly to Lid:
"Look, my lord, what kind of liars are we? We are a family with Yunye, and we only have this relationship with Yunye. Now we are also with you—"
Before the woman could finish speaking, Lide's hand had pinched her mouth precisely.
Five fingers pinched her cheeks, causing her to swallow the half-sentence she hadn't finished speaking, and the powder on her face fell down one after another. The huge pain finally made the woman wake up, and found that Lide's face There was a hint of coldness in the smile.
He smiled and said to the woman:
"Oh. My family, it means that you have spent all your money on yourself these years, leaving the dirty work to Yunye, and leaving the comfort and pleasure to yourself? You didn't treat her as a human being before. Look, when she develops and comes over with a shy face to join in the fun, you really don't feel ashamed! You also put on a proud look, half of her achievements today come from you? Family, You have the nerve to say these three words."
Lide let go of his hand, flicked his wrist, shook off the powder on his fingertips, looked around Yunye's relatives who kept their heads silent, and said with a smile:
"I don't care what Yun Ye thinks, but I feel a little uncomfortable. So I thought of a way. Recently, I plan to continue to develop the business of the demons. I need some people to immigrate to the demons. The difficulty lies in the need for me The people around me set an example first, but I haven't found a suitable partner yet. Since you are so eager to build relationships, I think it's better to start with you first. I will hire a few carriages and send you off later. Traveling all the way west, to the territory of the Demon Race, I guarantee that each of you can be a landlord, and each of you can become a local tyrant!"
Yun Ye's mother was taken aback, and the cold sweat washed away the powder marks on her face one after another, tremblingly said:
"My lord, please, are you kidding me?"
Lid waved his hand and replied:
"Do I look like I'm joking? I'm also doing it for the good of everyone. Since everyone regards Yunye as family, and Yunye is from my Yuxi City, you are also my family after all, right? I can still harm you I have already decided that I want to give you a fortune, but there is a way to seek wealth and insurance. If you want to get rich, you have to face a small risk. I believe you will not care. Bottle, count the number of people, He Yue, Arrange carriages, remember to pick a few that are comfortable to sit in, don't be stingy."
The bottle with twin ponytails responded sweetly, and began to run over to count the number of people one by one.
He Yue quickly brought a few magnificent carriages and began to persuade some people who were close to get into the carriages.
Now Yunye's relatives couldn't believe it, and there were complaints from mourners all over the place for a while. At this moment, they wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in, and the crowd scattered wherever the bottle went.
Li De glanced at Yun Ye and blinked at her secretly.
Yun Ye was stunned for a moment, suddenly understood something, bit her lip with a complex expression, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly:
"My lord, please be merciful! These people are Yun Ye's relatives after all, Yun Ye is not willing to watch them suffer no matter what. If the lord of the city insists on driving them to a dead end, Yun Ye... is willing to walk with them."
The scene fell silent again.
Lide stared at her for a long time, flicked his sleeves, and said:
"Since you're pleading for them...then let's put this plan on hold for now. Today I'm very merciful and allow them to go back wherever they come from. But Yun Ye, since you work in Yuxi City, you will need to represent Yuxi City in various places in the future. Territory, then according to the rules, you have to have some relatives living here so I can rest assured, today your father and younger brothers and sisters must stay and temporarily live in Yuxi City as hostages."
Yun Ye lowered her head and said respectfully:
"yes."
