Chapter 361: Special Agent 356 has turned into a commoner (2) at the first update

Ye Shaohua woke to news that had already been passed to the old madam of Ye Residence.

The old madam had been attending to the Young Master, Ye Shaoming, and had no time to deal with the mother and daughter. Only after Ye Shaoming regained consciousness did she have the butler bring Ye Shaohua and Aunt Mei over.

"Jin’er, I will punish your younger brother and Aunt Mei by sending them to a villa in the suburbs. Are you harboring any resentment in your heart?" The old madam placed her teacup on the table, instead of asking Aunt Mei, she looked towards Ye Jin.

Ye Qingweng had one principal wife and three concubines, with Aunt Mei being the most timid among them.

And also the one with the least status, hailing from Floral Land.

Since her childhood, Ye Jin knew she did not command the same status as the other legitimate sisters and brothers, which is why she strived so hard to climb higher up.

It had not been easy to bring joy to the old madam.

Hearing the old madam’s words, she knelt down and gave her a resounding kowtow, "It was initially my brother’s fault. Whatever punishment or beating is at your discretion, old madam, Jin’er holds no grudge whatsoever."

Seeing Jin’er act this way, the old madam glanced at her, "If you cannot bear it, I can be lenient in their punishment."

"This time, he caused our eldest brother to fall ill with a cold. As I regard the eldest brother as my own flesh and blood sibling, how could Jin’er plead for the one who harmed him?" Ye Jin kowtowed once more.

She knew that her younger brother and her mother were of the same ilk, timid and cowardly.

Having just gotten on the good side of the old madam, why would she sacrifice that favor for those two people?

Those two fools remaining in Ye Residence was bound to cause her trouble. Now that they were being dispatched to the villa, it would save her the inconvenience of being implicated in the future. Ye Jin could not have asked for more; how could she possibly plead on behalf of those two?

After leaving the old madam’s place, Ye Jin encountered Aunt Mei waiting for her at the intersection.

A flicker of disgust and impatience crossed her eyes.

"Pack your things and leave immediately with your brother," Ye Jin stood several steps away from Aunt Mei, "I have nothing to give you. As my mother, you’ve never been able to provide anything for me my whole life. I ask nothing of you, just that you and he don’t bring disaster upon me ever again."

Aunt Mei wiped away her tears, "Jin’er, being dispatched to the villa, how can one continue to study under a scholar? We are born from the same mother; if you go and plead with the old madam, in the future, if the Young Master passes the Imperial Examination, you too will enjoy the benefits, won’t you?"

"The Imperial Examination? He’s driven away the Master Top Scholar with his antics! If not for father’s connections, our eldest brother would already be dragged down by him," Ye Jin said impatiently: "He hasn’t even looked at the historical records and dares to talk about the Imperial Examination? He should forget about the Imperial Examination for the rest of his life!"

After speaking, she had the maidservant block Aunt Mei’s path and returned to the Ye Family quarters.

Aunt Mei looked at her cold and indifferent daughter, her heart filled with sadness.

She knew her daughter had always despised her background, and she too hated that she couldn’t offer her daughter anything. A woman from Floral Land, who had naively believed Ye Qingweng’s sweet nothings.

After giving birth to Ye Jin and having a girl, they almost starved to death.

Later, by a stroke of luck, she gave birth to Ye Shaohua. Out of necessity, she bribed a midwife she knew to raise her younger daughter as a boy, finally gaining a respite to catch her breath.

Otherwise, how could she and Ye Jin have lived safely up to this point?

But to her surprise, as Ye Jin grew up, she distanced herself from her and harbored resentment for not having the best.

"Young Master," Aunt Mei returned to the quarters disconsolately and saw Liuliu, the maidservant who had always been with them, packing their luggage. She burst into sorrow, "It’s my fault, I couldn’t give you a better birth!"

The people from the old madam’s yard had condescendingly announced that Ye Shaohua was to stay in a villa outside the city.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shaohua instructed Liuliu to pack the luggage.

Hearing Aunt Mei’s words, she reached out to pat her on the shoulder, "Mother, what have you done wrong by me? I should thank you for bringing me into this world. As for a good birth?" Ye Shaohua said indifferently: "I will earn it myself. In the future, I want you to enjoy the blessings. Don’t mind what others say."

What’s the point in relying on one’s family?

Ye Shaohua was most annoyed by the heavy emphasis on social status in ancient times. This time around, her status seemed quite low, and her father was apparently biased, but fortunately, she was in the guise of a man, otherwise, there would be many things she could not do.

Aunt Mei was stunned by Ye Shaohua’s words, almost forgetting to cry.

Why did it feel like her daughter was a bit different than before?

Ye Shaohua paid no mind to what Aunt Mei was thinking; she simply tapped her knuckles lightly.

As for Ye Jin...

Since she was so eager to draw a clear line, Ye Shaohua could not be more pleased; it saved her the trouble of being unable to shake off this sticky burden when she became affluent later on.

Being dispatched to the villa meant they could not take many things with them. Aunt Mei only packed a few valuables and rolled the more precious items in a bundle, which actually looked quite shabby.

They moved to the entrance of the residence, where an old horse carriage and a coachman were waiting.

"Let’s go." Seeing them come out, the butler waiting outside said indifferently.

Just then, a luxurious carriage returned.

Though middle-aged, Ye Qing still possessed a striking appearance and was returning from Dali Temple.

Upon seeing the mother and son with their luggage, he paused in step, "Aunt Mei, where are you and Shaohua off to?"

"The old madam sent us to the villa..." Aunt Mei curtsied.

The villa? Ye Qing furrowed his brows.

Seeing his reaction, the butler spoke first, "Reporting to the master, the old madam contacted a grandmaster from the protective country temple, who said that the Young Master’s fate clashes with the Young Master, and before Ye Shaoming turns eighteen, it is not suitable for the two to be in the same place, as it would affect the Young Master’s future career. Therefore, the old madam decided to send the Young Master to the villa."

"Affect the Young Master’s career?" Ye Qing’s expression changed.

The Master Top Scholar in the Ye Residence took Ye Shaoming as a disciple, saying that Ye Shaoming had adequate talent and that his career path would surely be smooth.

As for his fourth son, stubborn and refusing to accept guidance, acting so timidly for a man, lacking any semblance of masculinity.

Neither successful in literature nor in martial skills.

When compared side by side, Ye Qing naturally favored Ye Shaoming more.
