Chapter 645: 636 Gold Medal Assassin (9) 2 more updates

The Madame of the Grand Tutor scrutinized Ye Shaohua with an inspecting gaze, looking her up and down.

Because Ye Zhaoyun had become increasingly domineering and even more prominent than Ye Feixiang used to be, many in the Imperial City had their eyes on the Ye Family.

Ye Zhaoyun was beyond their reach, but she had an elder sister.

It was just that there was no news of Ye Zhaoyun’s elder sister outside.

Having seen Ye Shaohua now, the Madame of the Grand Tutor could only describe her feeling with the word "disappointment."

She had assumed that with a sister as formidable as hers, even if the elder sister were less impressive, she wouldn’t be worse than others, but upon arrival at the Ye Family, she had heard that Ye Shaohua was still learning the basics from the Ye Family warriors.

In terms of status or any other aspect, Ye Shaohua was unworthy of her legitimate son, and she did not wish to wrong him. However, the Madame of the Grand Tutor was very reluctant to give up on the marriage alliance with the Ye Family.

After being reminded by a servant, she then thought of her own illegitimate son.

Arranging such a marriage for the illegitimate son would not only suppress him but also tie a connection to the General Residence.

The Madame of the Grand Tutor was resolute, and in the span of an hour, she had settled the marriage arrangement with the old lady of the Household.

She went back to her own residence.

She immediately had someone go and inform her illegitimate son.

"Young Master, the chief madam is too bullying! It was bad enough that she took away your position as the legitimate heir, and now... now she even arranges for a daughter of a concubine to be bestowed upon you as a wife!" Once Xie Zecheng heard this news, before he could say anything, his guard could not help but express his anger, "Ye Family’s second Young Lady... what is that? I’ve only ever heard of the Ye Family’s eldest Young Lady and the third Young Lady; I’ve never even heard of this person!"

Xie Zecheng was originally working on his calligraphy.

Upon hearing the guard’s words, he became somewhat irritated, hesitating in his writing, and threw the brush down onto the table.

"The time is not yet ripe," Xie Zecheng walked to the window, his eyes unfathomably deep, "I can only agree to my stepmother for now. When the time comes..."

Since the death of his biological mother, Xie Zecheng had been biding his time.

"Young Master, don’t think too negatively," a maid at the door brought in a cup of tea, comforting them both, "Just now, the nanny by the chief madam’s side said that the second Young Lady is reputed to be exceptionally beautiful and has a good personality, with many competing to ask for her hand in marriage."

Listening to the maid’s words, the guard sneered, "If she’s really as good as the chief madam says, why didn’t she arrange for her own son to marry her as his wife?"

Xie Zecheng indeed had heard of the reputations of the three Young Ladies of the Ye Family, but he had not known that there was a second Young Lady.

At this moment, he had no control over his life, and since his father also wasn’t on his side, he could only comply with his stepmother’s arrangements.

Although he had agreed to marry that second Young Lady of the Ye Family, Xie Zecheng felt no joy in his heart, for what good could come out of something arranged by such a person as his stepmother?

However, he hadn’t expected it would be with the Ye Family... considering all factors.

With his current status, being related to the Ye Family was not bad; he should feel lucky about his fortune this time...

But...

Xie Zecheng’s heart was still filled with resentment; he had wanted to marry not just a noble lady but one who was his equal in conversation, like the third Young Lady of the Ye Family...

He did not know.

"With your talents and warrior rank, you would have more than enough to marry the eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family," the guard bitterly said, "It’s all because the old master spoiled his concubine and squandered his wife. Young Master, shall we leave the Xie Family?"

After the death of his wife, the old master belittled the legitimate wife down to a concubine and promoted the concubine to her position.

Standing at the window, Xie Zecheng shook his head, "The time is not yet right."

On this side, after Ye Shaohua returned from the old lady’s place, she went to check on Tao Liu’s injuries.

The doctor, seeing that Tao Liu’s injuries had not lessened, prepared a new set of medicines for both internal and external use.

Ye Shaohua flipped through the medicines on the table, frowned, then asked for a medicine grinder, crushed the herbs, and remade the ointment for external use.

"Let’s try this today." Ye Shaohua handed the ointment to the doctor’s apprentice beside him.

This ointment was one she had formulated in the ancient medical world as a miraculous cure for wounds.

The doctor, upon seeing her concocting her medicine, his face showed a flash of displeasure.

He was the most famous divine doctor in the Imperial City, and even the nobility from the palace sought him for challenging illnesses.

He was here only because of General Ye’s face, otherwise, why would he bother treating a servant?

Tao Liu was in pain, but seeing the divine healer’s expression, she immediately said, "Divine Doctor, our Young Lady has read medical books in the Book Pavilion, and she understands some pharmacology as well..."

"Since the second Young Lady understands pharmacology, it seems that my presence is unnecessary!" The divine doctor said, then left with his apprentice.

Ye Shaohua intended to show the doctor the prescription, but seeing his arrogance, she said nothing more.

"Young Lady..." Since Tao Liu was ill, the old lady had arranged for another maid.

"Apply it to Tao Liu." Ye Shaohua wasn’t bothered.

Tao Liu initially wanted to refuse, but remembering how Ye Shaohua had defended her, she endured and didn’t speak, thinking she would just use the divine doctor’s medicine again after her lady left...

However...

As soon as the pale-colored ointment was applied to her backside, Tao Liu was stunned.

The intense pain in her back was soothed by a cool sensation, and the pain eased significantly.

Seeing the ointment was effective, Ye Shaohua instructed Tao Liu to rest well and left.

After she left, the other maid immediately said, "Sister Tao Liu, I’ll change it back to the divine doctor’s medicine for you..."

"No need!" Tao Liu snapped back to reality at those words, "Just use the Young Lady’s medicine!"

Meanwhile, just as Ye Shaohua stepped out, Fang Auntie came back with news of the marriage arrangement with the Grand Tutor’s illegitimate son.

Ye Shaohua hadn’t even had the chance to speak yet.

Ye Zhaoyun, just stepping in the door, paused in her stride.

She looked toward Fang Auntie and Ye Shaohua and said in disbelief, "That illegitimate son of the Grand Tutor’s family, you haven’t even met him, and you’ve just agreed to this marriage?"

Fang Auntie didn’t expect Ye Zhaoyun to return at this moment.

She opened her mouth, "Yes, that’s how things are usually done."

Ye Zhaoyun couldn’t believe that people in ancient times were so submissive.

If it were someone else, she certainly wouldn’t meddle.

But this was her sister after all. Fine, she would help her this one time.

"Forget about this matter, you all don’t need to worry. I will help you to inquire whether that illegitimate son has any particular vices."
