Chapter 142: The Eternal Dog Skin Plaster
Chapter 142: The Eternal Dog Skin Plaster
Ye Hongxia looked at Ye Wuwei, who was on guard, and said, "You are my child. How could I possibly harm you?"
"So what do you mean by following me?"
"I heard you talking that day, do you have feelings for the kid from the Qi family?"
Being directly exposed by Ye Hongxia, Ye Wuwei felt a little embarrassed.
"I don't mind your business, and you don't mind mine."
"Have you made up your mind to go to the North?"
"Since you've heard everything, why are you asking?"
Ye Hongxia sighed:
"Even though you've made up your mind to die, I can't really watch you die. I'll go with you."
How could Ye Wuwei possibly believe Ye Hongxia? "You don't want to steal the letter and threaten His Majesty, do you?"
"She's already my daughter-in-law, how could I possibly make you a widow?"
Ye Hongxia's words were incoherent, but Ye Wuwei was stunned:
"You don't think it's inappropriate for the two of us to be together?"
"It's indeed inappropriate."
Ye Wuwei laughed at himself: That’s right, not everyone can accept two men being together.
"His father, the emperor, killed your father's entire family. You two have a deep blood feud, so it's naturally inappropriate for you to be together."
Ye Wuyi was stunned:
"Don't you think it's inappropriate because we are both men?"
"It's not right for two men to be together. But that's a small matter.
The key is that you two have a blood feud and cannot be together."
"I don't even know who my own father is, so what's the point of talking about a blood feud?"
If Ye Wuwei was his original self, he might still care about the blood feud, but he didn't even have the memory of his original self, so it was impossible for him to hate Qi Wushuang because of the "blood feud".
Ye Hongxia paused for a moment and said:
“At this point, I won’t hide it from you anymore.
Your father was General Ye, and your grandfather was Grand Marshal Ye and King Chunyu.
Chunyu Mansion was once the territory of the Ye family, who had occupied Chunyu Mansion for more than a hundred years.
Your great-grandfather helped Emperor Taizu conquer the Qi Dynasty."
Ye Wuyi was stunned:
He only knew that the Ye family was once one of the four major families, but he didn't know that Chunyu Mansion was once the territory of the Ye family.
It was also Ye Wuwei's fault that he didn't care much about the Ye family and didn't ask more about it.
Seeing Ye Wuwei in a daze, Ye Hongxia misunderstood that he was stunned because he heard that his father was General Ye, and continued:
"I was your father's personal maid, serving him since I was little.
But I have loved martial arts since I was a child and have a talent for it, so the Ye family made me your father's martial arts maid.
When I was a teenager, I followed your father in and out of the military camp, learned how to lead troops and fight wars from him, and then officially joined the military camp.
I started as a warrant officer and worked my way up to captain, all thanks to my own abilities.
Three months before the Ye family was exterminated, your father and I had sex after getting drunk.
When I woke up, your father asked me what I wanted?
I knew it was impossible for me to become your father's wife, and I didn't want to be a concubine, so I told your father to just pretend nothing had happened.
But I didn't expect that you would appear that night.
Before I could tell your father, the Ye family encountered a great disaster."
What Ye Hongxia said later was something Ye Wuwei had already known.
When the Ye family was in trouble, General Ye ordered Ye Hongxia and others to escort General Ye's concubine, who had not yet been married into the family, away. The child in that woman's belly was General Ye's.
General Ye sent his trusted confidants to escort them away in order to preserve a trace of the Ye family's bloodline.
The woman gave birth to a boy in the mountains, who became the young master of Ye Hongxia and her family.
Ye Hongxia also gave birth to Ye Wuwei in the mountains, but to the outside world she could only say that Ye Wuwei was Che Hongxing's.
Then Luo Wenhua rebelled, and the imperial court sent troops to encircle Ye Hongxia and her group. Ye Hongxia escaped through a secret passage with the young master and Ye Wuwei.
However, Ye Hongxia did not mention the names of Luo Wenhua and Che Hongxing.
After listening to Ye Hongxia's story, Ye Wuwei asked:
"Let me ask you, what were you thinking when you had to choose between the two children?"
Ye Hongxia was silent for a while and then said:
"Back then, I thought that although both of you were the general's sons, outsiders only knew that the young master was the general, not you, so I could only guarantee that the young master would be absolutely safe.
But I never thought of giving up on you."
"Since everyone thought I was Che Hongxing's son, then I'll just continue to be Che Hongxing's son. There's really no need to publicly announce that I'm General Ye's son."
Ye Hongxia was shocked: "You already knew your life experience?"
Because she didn't mention Che Hongxing's name at all.
"After Qi Yuli told me that I looked a lot like you, I asked Wushuang to help me investigate my background. I know a lot about your story. But I'm not sure who my father is."
"Since you already knew it was my son, why did you pretend not to know just now?"
"You abandoned me back then, so what's wrong with me not recognizing you?"
Ye Hongxia was silent again.
After a while, Ye Hongxia asked, "You said that you asked that kid from the Qi family to investigate your background?"
"Yes, Wushuang knows it all."
"Then he treats you..."
“He treated me very well and didn’t care about my status at all.
When I met him, I was just a beggar in Anping County. I was skinny, dirty, and ugly, but he didn't despise me.
“But you became a beggar because of his father, the emperor.
If the Ye family hadn't been exterminated, you would be the noble young master of the Ye family. There would be no need to flee, let alone become a beggar."
Ye Wuwei said in his heart: That's not me, that's your son.
"You are wrong. If the Ye family had not been exterminated, I would not be the noble young master of the Ye family. At most, I would be an unpopular illegitimate child."
This sentence choked Ye Hongxia and she had nothing to say in response.
After a while, Ye Hongxia said:
"No matter what you think, you are still General Ye's son. This will never change."
Ye Wuwei said calmly:
“I won’t hate Wushuang just because his father is General Ye, and Wushuang won’t be suspicious of me just because I’m General Ye’s son.
And I also told you:
If the Ye family was really framed, I will redress their wrongdoing."
Having said that, Ye Hongxia stopped talking again.
Ye Wuwei asked: "Why was the Ye family executed?"
Ye Hongxia sighed:
"If the Qi family kid knew the truth of that year, he would definitely feel resentful towards you."
Ye Wuyi was shocked: "Is it related to Concubine Yu's death?"
Ye Hongxia refused to say anything more no matter what.
"Forget it, if you don't want to tell me, then don't block my way."
"I told you I'd accompany you to the Northland, lest you die."
Ye Wuwei knew that he could not defeat Ye Hongxia, and he was too lazy to argue with her anymore. He mounted his horse and galloped away.
Ye Wuwei thought to himself: I've been changing horses all the way, I don't believe you can keep up.
But Ye Wuwei was still too naive!
It was impossible for Ye Hongxia to really follow Ye Wuwei using her Qinggong skills. Ye Wuwei changed horses along the way, and Ye Hongxia also changed horses along the way.
Ye Wuwei stopped to rest, and Ye Hongxia also stopped to rest.
Ye Hongxia’s main theme is one word: eternal dog-skin plaster!
