035 Shui Yao's Heart
Ye Shuiyao's eyes fluttered, and she began to look at her brother who was both familiar and unfamiliar. He was still the familiar face she was, but a little more mature than she remembered. She was still too handsome, but she no longer had the feminine and weak feeling that was almost feminine. She faintly showed an indescribable noble and elegant temperament. There was a natural look in her expression. She seemed to have never taken people seriously, but it was strange and did not make people feel disgusted. The eyes, which were originally filled with no spirit and depressed, were as deep as the sea. When her eyes touched, she felt a strange feeling of wanting to fall into it.
"Who taught you?" Ye Shuiyao looked away and looked at the painting that had just been completed again, with ripples in her heart. She has been with paintings since she was a child. She has been painting mountains for ten years, and her subordinates have painted thousands of peaks and mountains. This painting, which was completed in less than a minute, made her feel that the mountains she wrote in these years are all rough works that are difficult to see.
"You can learn without a teacher! This is actually very simple and picturesque, but my sister has never noticed it."
After successfully knocking on her heart, Ye Wuchen pulled a chair, sat down without hesitation, then picked up Ningxue and hugged her in his arms: "Her name is Ningxue, I recognize my sister. Xueer, called her sister."
"Sister, hello...my name is Ningxue." Ningxue waved her white little hand lightly, and then smiled shyly.
Ye Shuiyao nodded to her with a calm expression, and her eyes fell on Ye Wuchen again, as if she wanted to recognize whether this person was the younger brother in her memory.
"Sister, are you very dissatisfied with being born in the Ye family?" Ye Wuchen suddenly asked, saying something stupid. However, this sentence made Ye Shuiyao stunned, then looked away, and her eyes gradually became blurred, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Whether it is my sister's courtyard or room, although it is very elegant, the layout is too simple. This should be what my sister deliberately asked for? My sister does not have any taste of rouge, no makeup on her body, and she doesn't even have a piece of jewelry. Of course, my sister is born in a fairy and does not need these vulgar things to decorate. But this is a bit abnormal for a single daughter born in a wealthy and noble family. Moreover, there is not even a maid or servant in the huge courtyard. Is my sister likes quietness or is she rejecting something?"
"And I have disappeared for a year, but my sister has no intention of caring at all. Perhaps if it weren't for those shouting enough for my sister to hear, my sister wouldn't even know that I've come back now. I think I rarely talk to my parents in normal times. I'm so indifferent to my relatives, my sister must have too much concern." Ye Wuchen muttered secretly: In our world, it is called psychological disorder, and to be serious, it is called psychological illness.
"How many women have tried their best to climb upwards by any means to seek wealth. For most women, being a maid in the Ye family is a dream. And my sister was born to be a maid who dared not even look up to her, but now... I wonder if something touched my sister, making her exclusion of her identity and power in the Ye family, one of the best in the Tianlong Kingdom, and yearn for those simple and peaceful lives, but the sister's identity is destined to be unchanged, so you can only be stuck in your heart. Over time, you slowly close your heart."
Ye Shuiyao closed her eyes lightly and said quietly: "I never thought that the person who knows my heart would be you."
"Of course, because we are siblings!" Ye Wuchen said with a smile, as if he was a good brother.
"Then, can I hear my brother say a few words in my heart? What I think in my heart may be the same as what my sister thinks in my heart."
Ye Shuiyao remained silent, her pair of flashing beautiful eyes were like a pool of crystal spring water, clear and transparent, and charming.
"A year ago, I suddenly disappeared from the Ye family. As long as I am not a fool, I can see that there is a force targeting my Ye family. Not to mention what this force is, if I really die, the most direct consequence is that the Ye family has no descendants except my sister. My sister is not only a woman, but also famously has no desires and is not fighting with the world. So who will be the most direct profiteer?" Ye Wuchen said casually.
Ye Shuiyao smiled and opened her lips slightly: "You mean... Xiaoyun?"
Ye Wuchen did not answer, but continued, "So, who is targeting my Ye family? Now no one in Tianlong City knows that the only families that can compete with the Ye family are the Lin family and the Hua family, and the Lin family and the Ye family have always been disagreeable. Not long ago, I talked about the situation in Tianlong with an old man who had been away from the world for 15 years. The strongest of the major forces he told me was the Ye family, but there was no Lin family. In other words, the Lin family was still an invisible family fifteen years ago, but it developed so rapidly in just fifteen years. Now the financial power, power, and reputation are enough to compete with my Ye family. So, what force is driving the Lin family, and why the Lin family has developed so quickly, and even intentionally or unintentionally provokes my Ye family as an enemy. Is there really no reason for all this?"
Ye Shuiyao: “…”
"Although Lin Kuang, the oldest Lin family, has made some military achievements back then, it is far inferior to the Ye family. Later, Lin Kuang's youngest daughter, Lin Xiu, the younger sister of Lin Zhan, now the head of the Lin family, became the current queen, and the Lin family has also risen with the current flow. However, the increase rate is really too much, but if the royal family spared no effort to promote and control it, it would be much easier to explain."
Some basic situations of the Lin family were asked casually on the way to his courtyard with Wang Wenshu. Of course, Wang Wenshu's questions about this "son" were answered.
Ye Shuiyao's pupils shrank slightly and she said calmly: "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that the Ye family is too powerful, but they don't know how to be low-key and restrained, but they don't know that the high power of the master has always been a taboo for the generals and ministers. Now the Ye family alone holds more than one-third of the military power of the entire Tianlong Kingdom, and the reputation of the two generations of powerful generals in the army is unparalleled. With one call, most soldiers and generals are even proud of being under the command of the Ye family. How can the emperor feel at ease if the Ye family is so strong? If I were the emperor, after I sat firmly on the throne, the first thing I had to do was to suppress the Ye family. Of course, the Ye family was too powerful, and had countless military achievements, and were loyal and could not turn against each other on the surface, so... support a family and stalemate with the Ye family, not let it do the dominant one, and then use a method to quietly control the entire Ye family in their hands. What a perfect result."
Ye Shuiyao: “…”
