The next day, Fourth Master did not attend court.

  But I still woke up very early.

  He woke up, but Ye Zao didn't wake up in time. Fourth Master turned sideways and looked at her for a while.

  She's really stunningly beautiful. No wonder Li wanted to take advantage of her.

  Fourth Master got up and changed his clothes. Ye Zao finally woke up, kneeling on the couch in a panic: "I should die."

  "Get up and go back, your slave, you'll have it when you get back." Fourth Master said lightly.

  However, Yu Ning and Yu Jing could hear that Fourth Master did not mean to blame this sleeping servant girl.

  Yu Ning felt jealous in her heart, but she didn't dare say much on the surface.

  Ye Zao busied herself dressing and casually tied up her hair: "This servant takes her leave."

  Fourth Master looked at her and nodded again.

  Out of the hospital, Ye Zao took a deep breath. On this deep autumn morning, today was actually quite a good day.

  As I slowly walked back, I saw two little girls standing outside the door, about 13 or 14 years old.

  She saw her coming and stepped forward: "I'm Aling, at your service." "I'm Yuer, at your service."

  "Come on, get up! You're all the same!"

  The two maids were very respectful and knew in their hearts that being able to serve this young lady, who was personally chosen by the master, was a different matter altogether!

  "Also, Miss, would you please give us a name." said Ah Ling.

  Ye Zao smiled: "Giving a name is fine, but Yu'er... it's better to change it. In the front yard, there are many girls with the surname Yu, and if you meet them one day, this name might not be very good." Especially that Yu Ning, whose eyes seemed to be looking down from above.

  "Yes, Miss said so, this name is not even my real name, would you please think of a good one for me?" Yuer smiled and said.

  Yu'er has a round face and is quite cute.

  "Then let's call her Ah Yuan? There's no need for Ah Ling to change her name, it's fine as it is."

  "Thank you, miss. You must be tired, take a rest first, I'll bring the meal to your room right away." Ah Yuan said with a smile.

  Ye Zao nodded and entered the inner chamber.

  After finishing his breakfast, Siye asked Su Peisheng to come and talk to him.

  "Master, I've made some inquiries and it seems that Ye's family is not ordinary commoners."

  Fourth Master became interested: "Tell me."

  "Ah, this Ye family, originally was in Hubei's Jingzhou under a county where they used to be the county magistrate. The old master of the Ye family is an authentic scholar-official. However, after serving as a county magistrate for over ten years in the local area, he didn't get promoted. This uncle of Miss Ye isn't her biological uncle. Miss Ye is born out of wedlock. The legitimate wife of Old Master Ye had no children. Instead, there are three children born out of wedlock: Eldest son Ye Feng, eldest daughter Ye Zao, and second daughter Ye Gui."

  Fourth Master nodded and thought to himself, "This Ye family is a scholarly one, but their naming sense is... quite poor."

  "Mr. Ye had offended someone and was bullied, so he couldn't stay in the local area and resigned to return to the capital. The Ye family had some property inherited from their ancestors, and this Miss Ye also had servants attending to her needs, with a cook and housekeeper who were not lacking. Miss Ye's older brother was also a scholar, waiting for the imperial examination in later years."

  "This sister of Qi Tai is actually quite good, she's nice to all the children born out of wedlock, however..." Su Peisheng hesitated and didn't dare say more.

  "Speak." Fourth Master looked at him for a moment.

  "Yes, this Ye girl, but I'm afraid it's not with the consent of Old Master Ye..." Su Peisheng investigated clearly, that was simply...

  It's not just unwillingness, this Ye Shi, was actually deceived into the mansion by this cheap uncle.

  No wonder I got sick as soon as I entered the mansion and haven't recovered in half a year.

  This is already quite serious, otherwise wouldn't you hit the wall?

  "Your guts are really big." Fourth Master said angrily.

  A woman like Ye Shi, even if she's not considered a descendant of an official family nowadays, doesn't need to participate in the imperial selection process to marry properly. Moreover, since Ye Shi's mother is a Manchu, she would be eligible for selection as well. With her looks, if she were really selected and entered the princes' palace, she would at least become a gege (a noblewoman of lower rank).

  Don't look at Gerge and the concubine as being one level apart, they are actually quite different.

  Geges can be promoted to a higher position, gave birth to children, and become a prosperous and wealthy family, that is, entered the imperial jade plate.

  However, concubines are just slaves, they can't even raise their own children and have no chance of promotion...

  What he did is really despicable.

  What's most important is that the Ye family might also think that he has a lustful heart and has taken a liking to their daughter.

  The whole family doesn't know how to scold her.

  "Call Ye Shi over." Fourth Master had a belly full of anger and didn't know how to vent it.

  Ye Zao was here, had just eaten and combed her hair, when she saw Xiao Gui coming again.

  She was startled and didn't dare say more, so she went to the front yard without bringing anyone.

  Su Peisheng was outside, saw her and smiled: "Master is inside, miss, go in."

  Ye Zao nodded slightly, and in his heart, he counted, something was up.

  As soon as he went in, he saw Fourth Master sitting with a sullen face, drinking tea.

  Ye Zao knelt down: "Your humble servant greets Master."

  Fourth Master didn't wake up, he just gently put down his tea bowl: "Ye Shi, how did you enter the mansion?"

  Ye Zao cooperated and shook his body: "I'm... I'm... I'm..."

  "Speak up! Tell the truth!" Fourth Master grunted.

  Ye Zao hastily stood up, lowering his head: "I am... I am willing..."

  "Ye Shi! How dare you deceive me!" Fourth Master slammed his hand on the table.

  Ye Zao hurriedly knelt down again, muttering in his heart, what did you make me get up for?

  "Speak!" Fourth Master was clearly about to erupt.

  "Master, I don't dare to deceive you, I really didn't know it was going into the mansion at first." Ye Zao said in a panic: "Uncle... Uncle and Auntie told Mother that there is an excellent marriage, took me away, only said that the mistress of that house wants to see me, then... Uncle... Uncle said, yes... Fourth Master has taken a liking to me, wants... wants me to enter the mansion, if not, then... then our whole family will be... I didn't dare not obey..."

  At first, Ye Zao really thought it was Fourth Master's intention.

  But having entered the mansion for so long without being summoned by Fourth Master, the original master understood as well.

  Now it's clear that Fourth Master is so furious, probably because Uncle has been deceived by both sides.

  Very good, cheap uncle, really bold.

  "Great! Very good!" Fourth Master gritted his teeth: "Get up. Do you want to go home?"

  "Master... I'm your slave... I won't... I am the master's person..." Ye Zao hastily made a terrified expression.

  Fourth Master frowned: "Speak properly."

  Ye Zao nodded vigorously, then seemed to calm down: "Although I was deceived by my uncle, I am not regretful. Being able to meet you, master, is a great fortune for me in three lifetimes."

  As expected, Fourth Master's complexion improved a bit.

  Even if he was deceived into entering the mansion, he did not want Ye Qian to have a mind that actually did not want to stay.

  Moreover, he forbids the woman he has tainted from having anyone else.

  "Your status, being a concubine may be a humiliation for you. However, since you have already entered the manor, Master will certainly treat you with kindness."

  "I'm not resentful, I'm very willing. I...I just have one thing to ask of you, Master." Ye Zao said hastily.
