Chapter 174: 173 City’s Number One Rascal (14) First Update

Some people really do live off the gifts bestowed by the heavens.

They say success is 99% effort plus 1% inspiration, but don’t forget that without that 1% inspiration, no matter how hard you work, it’s useless.

Master Zhou thought that Ye Shaohua was just such a person blessed by the heavens, born with a pair of eyes that could see through all sorts of Feng Shui Arrays, and furthermore, she was knowledgeable and well-learned. These past two months, he had often sought advice from Ye Shaohua.

Of course, he had not associated Ye Shaohua with the Ye Family, knowing all too well what the Ye Family had become.

Things just happened to turn out inconveniently, as he ran into Ye Shaohua while the younger generation of the Ye Family was present.

"Master Ye, what brings you here?" Although Ye Shaohua had previously asked Master Zhou to call her by her name, Master Zhou didn’t want to do that. Especially since she had once saved his life, he couldn’t act presumptuous towards her.

Ye Shaohua didn’t notice Ye Min but saw Master Zhou first. She didn’t find it strange that the Ye Family Patriarch was with Master Zhou, "I came back for a visit. I’ll go find Ye Min first."

Master Zhou actually knew who Ye Min was. Hearing this, he didn’t object, "Alright then, if you have time later, come and help me with something. I still haven’t figured out that Talisman you gave me last time. If I had known you were with the Ye Family Patriarch, I wouldn’t have come to embarrass myself."

The familiar manner between these two left Ye Shaohua’s eldest brother and the others greatly surprised.

Especially Ye Shaohua’s eldest brother, who was holding his coat, had his almost forgotten younger sister come to mind again. He looked at Ye Shaohua in disbelief, unable to accept that the person chatting happily with Master Zhou was the same younger sister who knew nothing a few months ago.

The Ye Family Patriarch had never seen Ye Shaohua. Although he had heard the name Ye Shaohua, her uncles and others had never shown him a photo of her.

To the Ye Family Patriarch and the like, Ye Shaohua and her fellow disciples were not worth mentioning. Even if he had her information in hand, he wouldn’t bother to look twice.

So, seeing Ye Shaohua’s eldest brother and the others acting like they knew her, he wanted to understand the situation.

He eagerly approached Ye Shaohua’s eldest brother to clarify as soon as he got the chance.

The second young lady of the Ye Family gritted her teeth in secret as she watched this scene.

Meanwhile, at the Fu Family’s place.

"Fu Heng, although Jinyun pleaded on your behalf, our Fu Family has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Go and accept your punishment," said the middle-aged woman with traces of age at her eyes, waving her hand dismissively.

Fu Heng had no complaints, admitting that it had indeed been his oversight.

"Jinyun, it’s been hard on you, traveling all this way. Go have some rest," Madam Fu said to Fu Jinyun, her gaze soft and tender.

Just as Fu Jinyun was about to respond, someone spoke up, "Madam, the master and Young Master Weifeng have returned."

Hearing this, Madam Fu’s attention instantly shifted away from Fu Jinyun, her eyes lighting up, "Quick, bring out the pomelo tea I prepared. I’ve heard that tomb is somewhat sinister. Let them ward off the evil spirits..."

She was already chasing after them to the door. Fu Jinyun was accustomed to such reactions and remained unfazed.

Meanwhile, a few servants exchanged glances at Fu Jinyun, feeling a mixture of admiration and sympathy.

"Madam and the master really do favor Young Master Weifeng the most. It’s said that even the Shen Family couldn’t handle that tomb. As soon as the master heard that Young Master Weifeng had gone, he immediately rushed over, fearing any mishap might befall him."

"No help for it, who would have thought as soon as Little Master Jinyun opened his mouth, he was deemed doomed not to live past twenty-two. In the early years, Madam was tearful and sorrowful, but after more than twenty years, they have gotten used to it; they are not as extreme about it anymore."

"..."

Fu Jinyun, who had particularly good hearing, naturally caught every word they said, but he didn’t mind.

Over the years, his parents initially shed tears for him, but gradually their attention turned to Fu Weifeng. Although he had been sad about it, by now he had grown accustomed to it.

With those thoughts, he took out his phone and sent a quick text message.

Because Ye Shaohua had interrupted Master Zhou at the ancestral hall, she had been approached by quite a few people. Although it was a bit annoying, she also managed to find out that Ye Min had gone to class.

Her phone buzzed with a new Whatsapp message.

——[Fu Heng has been led into the pit by you.]

Seeing this, Ye Shaohua chuckled, then sent out a question mark in response.

——[Because they saw I wasn’t focused, I’ve been sent to do grunt work.]

At this message, Ye Shaohua became puzzled. Fu Jinyun was great at everything, besides her inability to see through his fortune, and he wasn’t lacking care from others. Why was he being punished for this?

She immediately made a phone call, "Alright then, I’ll go pick up Ye Min later and treat you to a meal, too?"

Now that everyone in the Ye Family seemed eager to strike up a conversation with her, Ye Shaohua wasn’t in the mood to listen to their tedious talk, so she headed straight out the door.

"Lady Shaohua," Uncle Ye’s attitude toward Ye Shaohua had become much more cordial than before, and upon closer examination, there was even a bit more respect, something he had not shown in the past. There’s truth to the saying that ability is the best proof of what position a person should occupy, "Where are you going?"

Ye Shaohua provided an address.

It was not far from where Ye Min was taking classes.

Actually, she had not even told Ye Min about her visit today; otherwise, no matter if he had classes, Ye Min would have tried to stay at the Ye Family.

"You’re not familiar with Imperial City. Let me arrange a car for you," Uncle Ye smiled, always meticulous in managing interpersonal affairs for the Ye Family, ensuring everything was well-organized.

Assuming Ye Shaohua would not reject his kind offer, he was surprised when things did not go as he expected.

"No need," Ye Shaohua refused outright with a wave of her hand.

Uncle Ye knew Ye Shaohua had led a repressed life in her earlier years and probably didn’t even have a driver’s license. He thought she would be pleased with a car arranged for her in Imperial City, yet she declined.

But before he could fully grasp this, a sapphire blue sports car "swooshed" to a stop in front of the Ye Family’s gate.

Uncle Ye, being born into the Ye Family and trusted by the Ye Family Patriarch with some authority, was no simpleton, but even he could not identify what car this was. It had no emblem or any other distinctive marks. But one thing Uncle Ye could sense was that this car must be very expensive.

Especially—

Uncle Ye’s gaze rested on the vehicle’s license plate.
