Chapter 188 The Love of a Homosexual
A person who is beaten fifty times cannot get out of bed for half a month to a month, but Ye Mian used the best medicine and was able to get out of bed and jump around in ten days.
"I've been feeling much better today than in the past two months," Ye Mian said, stretching his limbs.
"Someone, prepare the carriage."
At the Liu family residence, Liu Hanxing was being questioned by Mu Yunmeng:
"Liu Hanxing, speak! What's going on between you and the Fourth Prince?"
"Mother, I really don't know! I'm trying to avoid him, and I don't know why he keeps appearing in front of me."
Mu Yunmeng glared at him, "You better remember this, the fate of the Liu family rests on your shoulders. Don't try anything funny with me! The Fourth Prince is not someone you can mess with."
"Mother, of course I know that. If I stay at home for a few days and don't go out, the Fourth Prince won't come to our door!"
Mu Yunmeng sighed: "Alright, alright, you just stay home these next few days and don't go anywhere."
Liu Hanxing looked aggrieved: "Mother, I really didn't provoke him. I don't know what he wants by getting close to me."
The fourth prince couldn't be hit or scolded; if all else failed, he could only leave home.
"Sigh! Maybe it's fate. It's always good to be careful."
"Got it, mother."
Just then, a servant came to report, "Young Master, the Fourth Prince has come to visit, and the Master of the House is also here, waiting in the main hall."
The mother and son exchanged a glance. Liu Hanxing swallowed hard. The servants were talking about Ye Mian, the master of the house.
What brings Ye Mian here?
"Madam, the young master has come to see the Marquis."
Liu Hanxing seemed to have lost all her energy, and told the servants:
"They really came to our door. Go tell the Fourth Prince that I have caught a cold and am unable to receive guests."
"Yes, little one, go right here."
The servant hurriedly went out to report to the Fourth Prince, and returned shortly afterward.
"Young Master, Madam, the Fourth Prince heard that you are ill and insisted on coming to visit you."
Liu Hanxing's face grew increasingly pale: "I'm going to lie down."
Mu Yunmeng sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, pretending to take care of him.
The fourth prince strode in, and Mu Yunmeng bowed slightly.
"Greetings, Fourth Prince."
The Fourth Prince smiled slightly and gestured to help her up. "Madam Liu, please do not stand on ceremony. I heard that Young Master Liu is ill, so I came to visit you. What's wrong, Brother Liu?"
"My son has just taken his medicine and fallen asleep. Thank you for your concern, Fourth Prince."
Mu Yunmeng smiled, but secretly hoped that the Fourth Prince would leave as soon as he saw the person.
The Fourth Prince, sitting on the bed, looked at Liu Hanxing with concern: "She doesn't look well. We should ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."
Seeing the Fourth Prince showing such concern for her son, and their actions becoming a little intimate, Mu Yunmeng felt a bit strange and was momentarily stunned.
"I will go to the palace to fetch the imperial physician right away."
Pretending to be asleep, Liu Hanxing clenched his fists tightly. He felt the Fourth Prince's hand on his forehead, and cold sweat broke out even more.
"Fourth Prince, there's no need. It's just a cold. Yaoyao has prescribed medicine for my son. He'll be fine on his day off."
"I've heard that Miss Ye is a highly skilled physician, so I'm relieved now."
Mu Yunmeng looked at the Fourth Prince with even more strange expressions.
"Thank you for your concern, Fourth Prince."
After seeing the Fourth Prince off, Liu Hanxing quickly got out of bed and saw his mother looking at him with disbelief.
“Mother, I’m innocent. I was just on my way to deliver grain when the Fourth Prince was feeling unwell and showed concern for him. After that, I’ve been avoiding him.”
“Son, I believe in you. Why don’t you go out and hide for a while? I’ll ask your father to see if there are any jobs that require you to be away for a year or two, and I’ll arrange one for you.”
"One or two years?" Liu Hanxing was dumbfounded. Could it be that bad?
"The way the Fourth Prince looked at you, I suspect he has homosexual feelings for someone else. I'm telling you, I still want to have a grandson, so you must stay far away from the Fourth Prince, and it's best if you don't appear in the same place."
Mu Yunmeng hurriedly went to discuss it with her husband, leaving Liu Hanxing stunned and incredulous.
Ye Yaoyao had spent the whole day at the pharmacy. She had just returned to her room after taking a bath when Fu Ling came over to report to her.
"Miss, the master went to see the old Marquis today."
"What did he go to see his maternal grandfather for, and what did they talk about?"
"I heard it was to apologize to the old Marquis. He didn't attend the birthday banquet, and the other guests didn't say anything."
[Ye Mian probably wouldn't visit unless he had a reason, right?]
"Who else went to the Marquis's residence?"
"This servant does not know."
"Let's ask about it tomorrow!"
"Yes, Miss, I will ask tomorrow."
Fu Ling went out the door, and Ye Yaoyao rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.
"Yaoyao, you're still awake?" Ye Xiumu came over after looking at Liu Yunshu.
"Dad, you've come to secretly visit Mom again." Ye Yaoyao had gotten used to her father coming over to chat with her whenever he had free time.
"I came to see you too." Ye Xiumu affectionately patted her head.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Ye Mian went to see his maternal grandfather. I wonder what he's up to?"
Then his eyes lit up. "Dad, why don't we go and interrogate him?"
Ye Xiumu knew what Ye Mian was doing in private, and he should go and meet him.
The father and daughter smiled at each other, and Ye Xiumu nodded: "Okay, let's go now."
So, Ye Xiumu secretly led Ye Yaoyao to Ye Mian's Qingzhu Courtyard.
At this moment, Ye Mian was still in his study, handing the letter he had written to his trusted subordinate.
"This time we must succeed; we can't afford any more mishaps."
"Yes, I will be careful."
Thinking about his encounter with the Fourth Prince at the Liu family's residence earlier that day, Ye Mian was in a good mood and prepared to return to his room to rest.
He opened the door and was immediately confronted by a masked man. He was so frightened that he opened his mouth to scream when Ye Yaoyao appeared in front of him.
"Hey! You scumbag dad!"
"You...you...who is this person? Appearing silently and startling people in the middle of the night, what kind of behavior is this!"
Ye Mian was so angry that he was panting heavily. He told himself that Ye Yaoyao wouldn't be able to keep up the act for long, and he should try to remain calm and talk to her.
"You went to see my maternal grandfather. What wicked scheme are you plotting?"
"How dare you speak to your father like that!"
"But I've heard that my biological father is someone else. Are you aware of this?"
"Nonsense." Ye Mian's eyes darted away.
"Is what Grandmother said also nonsense?" Ye Yaoyao looked at him with feigned doubt.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mian's pupils contracted. This man was getting old and useless; he couldn't even keep such a small thing a secret. If he ruined Ye Mian's plans...
Ye Mian calmed the anger rising in his chest and forced a smile:
“Your grandmother is old and talking nonsense, don’t believe her.”
"Oh! So I heard that your academic achievements were fake, and that you approached my mother with an ulterior motive, is that right?"
Ye Mian clenched his fists. The Emperor already knew about this matter, but it had been suppressed. The Emperor had privately sent someone to reprimand him. Now he was working for the Emperor. Could it be that Ye Yaoyao had someone report it to the Emperor?
"I don't know what you're talking about. What purpose could I possibly have? I'm just worrying about myself and my family."
