Chapter 437: Chapter 304: Explosive News_3

Ye Shiqi had a guess, but she didn’t guess that it wasn’t her father taking a concubine, but her grandfather, which was too explosive!

The two sisters ran back to their room, where the other sisters were waiting in their rooms.

"Fourth Sister, Qing, what did you hear?"

Third Sister Ye Xinqi urged her two younger sisters to speak anxiously.

"Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, we heard that something big has happened to the family."

Ye Fengqi, with a big matter weighing on her mind, was eager to share with her sisters.

"Shush, speak softly."

Yet, Ye Shiqi was a bit more cautious and had the little maid leave their side. After watching the little maid close the door, she then pulled her sisters to the bed to sit and started to chat with them in a low voice.

"What..."

The sisters, upon hearing this matter, all had looks of astonishment on their faces, thinking how flirtatious their grandfather was to be taking a concubine at his age!

No wonder grandmother had a gloomy face.

As Ye Shiqi faced her sisters’ surprised expressions, she too felt disbelief in what her ears had heard.

"You didn’t hear wrong, it’s not just Grandfather who wants to take a concubine, but the woman was also someone Grandmother had wanted to push onto Father, and somehow today Grandfather has proposed to take her as his concubine!"

"What? That woman?" Ye Fengqi was furious, recalling every visit with Grandmother to her maternal home where she encountered that cousin, who would even give her glaring looks.

"So it’s that temptress who fancies Father! What was Father’s reaction?"

Second Sister Ye Mei Qi commented that the drama was truly clustering together.

"Could it be that Grandfather and Grandmother will, first, perform a secret maneuver, and then a strategy of deception?"

When Ye Shiqi spoke this way, she feared there was a hidden plot; it seemed like grandfather was taking a concubine openly, but then through a bait-and-switch, it could end up being her father’s instead.

By that time, it would be hard on their mother, and they, as his children, would also suffer.

Ye Shiqi’s words, the sisters didn’t quite understand; although they had studied, these phrases mentioned by their younger sister seemed like something the Master hadn’t taught.

The sisters, not understanding, asked questions; their little sister knew too much, and despite their constant learning, they couldn’t keep up with her. Sometimes her language was so profound that they couldn’t understand!

When Ye Shiqi heard her sisters’ inquiries, she knew that this so-called "The Art of War by Sun Tzu" might not appear in this book.

Even if it did appear in the book, her sisters, being farmer girls, wouldn’t understand. Seeing her sisters’ curious expressions, she could only patiently explain. Her sisters could be her great helpers; if they understood, there would be others to take actions without her having to lift a finger.

For surveillance work, having more people involved was more effective than just one.

Ye Shiqi explained the meaning behind these few phrases to her sisters, told a few stories to illustrate, and then explained the implied meaning within the words.

After telling so many stories and giving explanations, her sisters sort of understood but ultimately concluded that the little sister’s words were too profound. If they could be explained in one sentence clearly, they would understand completely.

The sisters began to plan, taking turns to keep watch on grandparents and eavesdrop on their conversations, also sending someone to inquire about what exactly had happened with Grandfather and Grandmother in Bai Tu Village today.

The next day, they quietly called over their Young Uncle and secretly told him about the situation.

Li Zhihao hadn’t expected that just within a day’s time, such a thing would occur in the Ye family. If his sister were to be disadvantaged, how could he, as her younger brother, just watch from the sidelines? He promised to investigate the matter immediately.

Fortunately, not only was that family from Bai Tu Village working in the estate, but there were other workers from the same village. The day before, one of the workers happened to have a day off, so he approached this worker to investigate.

Of course, he didn’t mention the master’s intention to take a concubine, only asking the worker to find out what exactly happened at their maternal guests’ visit to the village.

The worker obediently went home to find out.

Li Zhihao also didn’t sit idle. At his visit to the Ye family, he only saw his sister, whose face was impassive and who gave a forced smile upon seeing him.

But he didn’t think to see his brother-in-law or father-in-law, only encountering the mother-in-law with an unpleasant look, murmuring complaints.

Li Zhihao thought his mother-in-law was always a bit mad and didn’t pay attention to her words.

With such a major issue in his sister’s family, he, as a brother, couldn’t just do nothing. Asking his sister might yield nothing, so he decided to meet his eldest brother, thinking that two heads might be better than a genius like Zhuge Liang.

Li Zhijun had also returned to the estate today, even though the brothers had taken two days off.

They stayed at the estate in the evening, busy visiting relatives during the day. Now, there wasn’t much happening in the estate, but his brother’s estate was busier, with a daily harvest of vegetables.

For the sake of the estate’s business, neither brother accompanied their wives to their maternal homes today, opting instead to stay and look after the estate.
