Chapter 1072 (Ye Juetian is Grounded)
In this lifetime, Ye Hua can ignore his wives' words, but he must heed his mother's words – it's a matter of respect and filial piety.
Ye Juetian hurriedly explained, "I just went out for a walk, to experience the people's sentiments, and help my elder brother in the future."
Qing Ya and the others remained silent, appearing very obedient because Ye Hua had exploded in anger.
They sensed that Ye Hua's temper had a reason behind it, and it seemed that the mother had a similar temperament. They were definitely uncompromising with those who didn't listen.
Le Jing solemnly said, "Speak the truth!"
"Mother, it's really the truth. Your son wouldn't dare to deceive you," Ye Juetian felt uneasy, hoping he hadn't been discovered.
Le Jing sighed deeply and closed her eyes slowly.
Ye Hua naturally understood his mother's meaning – he had to handle this himself.
"Kneel!" Ye Hua said coldly.
Ye Juetian was bewildered, dumbfounded, and asked, "Elder brother?"
"I told you to kneel! Did you not hear me?" Ye Hua coldly shouted, and a powerful pressure directly descended, overwhelming Ye Juetian.
Ye Juetian knew his mother and older brother were not joking. He quickly knelt beside his mother.
"Speak! What did you do today?" Ye Hua interrogated.
"Elder brother, I really didn't do anything."
"Lies! Do you still not regard Mother and me in your eyes?" Ye Hua erupted, his eyes almost spewing flames. To deceive the family for a woman – he wanted to string him up and whip him!
"I..."
The rumours from the city had reached Ye Hua's ears today. At dinner, he was puzzled, as he hadn't left the palace, so how could there be a romantic affair? Instantly, he associated it with his brother.
Unexpectedly, this younger brother had just entered the city and picked up a woman on the street, even booked a room! He even deceived Mother into going out to find that woman. Now he was concealing it. It seemed that his younger brother was completely infatuated.
Le Jing said in a low voice, "Juetian, what's the name of that woman?"
Ye Juetian's heart sank. Was he discovered?
"Mother, she's just a poor girl," Ye Juetian hurriedly explained.
Le Jing questioned sternly, "You deceived Mother for the sake of a poor girl?"
"No, it's not." It's just that your son wanted to help her out of goodwill, without any other thoughts." Without much thought, Ye Juetian quickly distanced himself from Yi Yi. It wasn't out of fear but to protect her.
Le Jing said calmly, "It's better to be like this. Starting now, you're grounded."
"Grounded?" Ye Juetian couldn't believe it. Was it necessary to be this harsh?
Ye Hua said in a stern tone, "Not just any woman can marry into the Ye family, Juetian! You're well aware of this, especially when it comes to ordinary women! If you want to find a woman, your elder brother is already selecting an excellent one for you. Just wait!"
If it were any time before today, Ye Juetian would have been delighted. The women his elder brother chose for him were undoubtedly outstanding. But now, he doesn't think the same way. All he could think of was the delicate figure of Yi Yi, appearing so helpless.
However, what could he do?
"Big brother, I understand," Ye Juetian nodded. He couldn't continue his contact with Yi Yi; otherwise, big brother might do something to her, something he didn't want to witness.
Ye Hua extended his hand.
Ye Juetian looked up at his big brother in confusion.
"Hand it over!" Ye Hua said coldly.
"What?"
"What? Say it again and see!" Ye Hua's gaze turned icy. Still pretending!
Ye Juetian obediently took out the small bamboo tube from his pocket and placed it in his big brother's hand.
Ye Hua looked coldly at the small bamboo tube in his palm, which instantly turned into debris. Trying to hide things, but you're still a bit inexperienced!
Qian Yuqing, who was on the side, looked at Ye Juetian now, slightly furrowing her brows. Today, Ye Juetian seemed very unusual. Could it be that he had truly fallen for that girl?
"Go back and think about it! Don't force big brother to do something that will make you unhappy!" Ye Hua said sternly.
"Big brother, I understand."
"Go rest."
Ye Juetian stood up and respectfully said, "Mother, sisters-in-law, I'll take my leave."
Le Jing nodded, softly advising, "Stop causing trouble."
"Alright."
After saying that, Ye Juetian left. Upon reaching his own palace, he found that a barrier had been set up. Judging by its intensity, it seemed to be personally crafted by his big brother. Once he entered, there would be no way out.
But thinking about his big brother's words, Ye Juetian decided to step in. Perhaps it was a' doomed encounter. 'Yi Yi, I'm sorry...
"Mother, please rest early," Ye Hua said softly.
"Yes, all of you go back and rest. It's not yet time for me to sleep," Le Jing smiled slightly. When finding a daughter-in-law, one should be like Qing Ya – knowledgeable, dignified, virtuous, and able to help her son in any situation. Only then could she enter the Ye family with qualifications.
Ye Hua left the room with his three wives. Currently, Daji has become Le Jing's personal maid. Ye Hua mainly wanted Daji to protect his mother well, allowing him to be at ease.
Back in their resting palace, under the care of the three wives, Ye Hua removed his clothes.
This was undoubtedly the enjoyment of an emperor.
However, tonight, Qian Yuqing was very nervous while undressing for Ye Hua, her hands trembling.
"Qing Ya, what's your opinion on this matter?" Ye Hua suddenly asked.
Qing Ya actually understood Ye Hua's intention. The current situation was extraordinary, unlike the past casualness. Moreover, Ye Juetian was Ye Hua's younger brother, and Ye Hua undoubtedly took marriage matters very seriously now. She could understand.
But as a modern person, love should be free and not restricted by family background.
"Well, I think..."
Before Qing Ya could finish her sentence, Ye Hua calmly said, "No need to say. What do you think, Yuqing?"
Qian Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then casually said, "Matching social status."
She grew up in the Spirit City, being instilled with certain principles since childhood. Social status compatibility was the foundation. Back then, Ye Hua and she were also a match in terms of social status.
"I have inquired about it. That woman has been in the Voidless Empire for some time. Her actions are unspeakable, and she doesn't even have the appearance of a decent woman. Such a woman cannot marry into the Ye family!" Ye Hua said firmly, showing no room for negotiation.
In fact, from the way Ye Hua arranged marriages for his subordinates, one could see that even for his younger brother, he chose wives at the divine level. How could he not be concerned?
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi were helpless. Since Ye Hua had spoken, it was difficult to change.
Qian Yuqing lowered her head in silence.
"Let's go to sleep," Ye Hua said calmly.
Donghuang Baizhi chuckled and said, "Then we won't disturb the two of you enjoying yourselves."
