Chapter 35: Shui Yao’s Heart (2/2)
“That’s only natural, because we’re brother and sister!” Ye Wu Chen laughed and said, just like how a good younger brother would.
Ye Shui Yao didn’t speak, flashing a pair of beautiful eyes like a pool of crystal clear water, they were lovely and touching.
“1 year ago, I suddenly disappeared from the Ye family, if one isn’t a fool, one can see that there’s a force aimed towards my Ye family. Not mentioning what this force is, if I had truly died like that, the result would be; there would be no one besides from sister to continue the future generation, but sister isn’t only a woman, you’re also famous for being an ascetic with a pure heart, with no one else to continue the future generation, it’s simply impossible to not receive support from the Ye family, thinking about this in this way, who would benefit the most?” Ye Wu Chen casually said.
Ye Shui Yao slightly narrowed her eyebrows, and her lip gently opened: “You mean…… Little Yun?”
Ye Wu Chen didn’t reply, and continued talking instead: “So in the end, who’s targeting my Ye family? At the present in Tian Long City, which person doesn’t know that the Ye family is contending against the Li family and the Hua family, and that the Ye family and the Lin family are usually on bad terms, not long ago, I talked with an old man that lived in seclusion for the past 15 years about the affairs in Tian Long City, and he told me that within the few strong powers, the strongest were the Ye family, but he didn’t even mention the Lin family, this means that the Lin family didn’t even enter his eyes 15 years ago, but they developed this quickly in a mere 15 years, and now whether it be in financial resources, power, or prestige, they’re already strong enough to contend against our Ye family, So in this case, what is the force that is supporting the Lin family? And why is the Lin family’s development this rapid? And they’re even intentionally provoking our Ye family, are there really no reason for all of this?”
Ye Shui Yao: “……”
“Now, even though the Lin family’s Lin Kuang have also achieved a few meritorious military achievements, they’re still extremely far off when compared to our Ye family. And after, Lin Kuang’s daughter, which is now the Lin family’s family head, Lin Zhan’s younger sister, Lin Xiu became the present queen, the Lin family also continued rising, yet the speed of their rise is still a bit too fast, but if the imperial family is behind them and is sparing no effort in pushing them, then this would provide a lot of explanations.”
Regarding the basic information about the Lin family, Ye Wu Chen casually asked when he and Wang Wen Shu were walking towards his courtyard, and because he’s Wang Wen Shu’s “son”, she naturally answered all of his questions.
Ye Shui Yao’s eyes shrank slightly and she flatly said: “What do you want to say?”
“I’m saying that, the Ye family’s power is extremely big, but they don’t know how to keep a low profile and exercise restraint, they don’t know that their high achievements usually gather jealousy to the owner. At the present, the Ye family barely holds one third of the total military power in the entire Tian Long Country, and they gained even more prestige by producing two valiant generals within two generations, no one can compare to them and even most of the soldiers would be proud to serve under the generals of the Ye family. Because the Ye family is this powerful, how can the emperor remain calm? If I were the emperor, I would hide behind my title as the emperor and the first thing that I would do would be to suppress the Ye family. This is only natural because the Ye family is too powerful, and even though the Ye family is loyal and have performed countless of outstanding military services, he still can’t fall out with them, therefore…… he helped a family rise to power and contend against the Ye family so that they would lose their independence, and afterwards, he would use a quiet method to control the Ye family in his hands, and this would be the perfect result.”
Ye Shui Yao: “……”
