Chapter 657 The Ye Family’s Past
Ye Xingzhou didn't even have time to eat. He got on his horse with his package on his back and prepared to leave.
"Uncle, I'll trouble you brothers to take care of my mother. We'll say goodbye now."
Ye Xingzhou glanced at his mother and wife, but he didn't seem too reluctant.
A man should have great ambitions, he just went out to do his job.
With his uncle's family around, he doesn't have to worry about his mother and his wife.
Ye Mufei waited for him to leave before coming back to his senses. He looked at the princess with red eyes and raised his hand as if he wanted to wipe away her tears.
But when he raised his hand halfway into the air, he dropped it back down awkwardly.
Seeing this, An Sisi immediately turned her head away and pretended not to see it.
"Princess, Sanlang is gone. You and his wife should move to the Duke's Mansion. It will be more lively there."
Ye Mufei's eyes were cautious, yet with a hint of anticipation.
“No, big brother, now that the children have grown up and have started their own families, even though our Ye family has not split up on the surface, it is the same as if we have split up. It is not appropriate for us to live in the same mansion.
This princess's mansion is quiet, and the two mansions on the left and right are not far away. Big brother, don't worry about me."
Yun Ran refused directly.
He didn't even look at Ye Mufei.
An Sisi couldn't help but secretly glance at her uncle's expression, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, then looked at her mother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, I was seen by my uncle.
An Sisi was startled and quickly went forward to support her mother-in-law.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of mom."
Ye Mufei:........
This kid.
Did he mean it?
He wanted her to persuade the princess to move to the Duke's Mansion.
His expression was somewhat explosive, and the Duke of Zhenguo could only say dejectedly:
"That's fine. If anything happens, ask Sanlang's wife to call us over there. I'll ask Xue'er to come over and accompany you tomorrow."
Ye Mufei was about to say goodbye when Yun Ran suddenly called him:
"Big brother."
Ye Mufei paused, a smile flashed across his face, and he immediately turned around:
"What else do you want, Princess?"
Yun Ran sorted out his words and finally said:
"Brother, just like I said just now, the children are all grown up, and now there are two families, a big tree has branches, let's divide the family completely."
We should have separated long ago.
In the past, it was because her husband died early and the children were young, and her eldest uncle was determined to take care of them, so it was better for the family to stay together.
After returning to Beijing, he was busy with various things again. Although the two houses were divided into two, it was no different from splitting up the family. However, splitting up the family had to be approved by the clan and only then could it be considered a complete separation before it was announced to the outside world.
"We don't have much to share, so we just need to report it to the ancestral temple and get through it with a clear conscience."
Yun Ran reminded.
Ye Mufei didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Divide the family.
It's time to break up.
Even though they have separated, they are still members of the Ye family.
But why do I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart?
"Okay, I'll talk to the elders. My family..."
Since the family was divided, Ye Mufei thought that all the family property must be divided.
But before he could finish, Yun Ran interrupted with a smile:
"Brother, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion originally belonged to you, so it's fine like this. We returned to Beijing from the northwest without bringing much belongings. If you hadn't protected us, we wouldn't be alive today. Now we have the Princess' Mansion, and Xingzhou has made a name for himself. It's fine like this, and there's no need to divide anything."
Yun Ran naturally knew what his elder brother was going to say next.
She really felt that there was nothing to divide.
"That won't work. The Princess's Mansion is yours, not our Ye family's. This is a branch of the Ye family, and you won't lose anything that belongs to the second branch."
Ye Mufei refused.
"Don't worry about this matter. Just listen to me. I watched Xingzhou grow up. He is a descendant of the Ye family, and he has a share in the Ye family."
Ye Mufei didn't give her any chance to refuse. He said this and walked out of the gate of the princess's mansion.
Yun Ran stared at his departing back, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"You said your uncle is a stubborn old man..."
She sounded quite helpless.
An Sisi comforted him:
"Mom, since you know who my uncle is, don't refuse. Even if we split up, we are still a family. My husband is the only male in our family, so we don't need much money. When the time comes, when the kids over there get married, you can prepare some things for them and send them back."
Yun Ran thought about it and realized that this was the truth. There were many children there, especially Xue'er. When Xue'er got married, she would prepare more dowry.
Speaking of dowry, she didn't prepare any dowry for Wanwan, and she didn't even attend Wanwan's wedding.
I heard that when she and Shen Yuan got married, the drought had not yet ended and the marriage was very simple.
Thinking of this, Yun Ran felt guilty and secretly decided to make up another dowry for his daughter and give it to her when they returned to the capital.
Ye Mufei left the princess's mansion, feeling a little uneasy.
He hurried back and wrote a letter and had it sent away. He sat in the study and did not go out for a long time.
I knew that the day would come when the family would split up, but it has been delayed long enough.
He put his hand on his brow and closed his eyes gently.
The past events are vivid in my mind.
When my second brother Ye Muyang married the princess, the elders in the family did not agree.
The royal family was in chaos at that time, and marrying a princess might mean marrying trouble.
But the second younger brother liked the princess and wanted to marry her, and his parents also loved him, so they reluctantly agreed to the marriage.
When the Ye family was framed, so many women in the family were allowed to leave the family. Most of them just took the divorce papers and left, crying a bit at most, but in the end, few of them really stayed.
No one would have thought that the one who stayed behind in the end was this pampered princess.
As a princess, she didn't have to go into exile with them. With just an order from His Majesty, she could stay and continue to enjoy a life of luxury in the princess's mansion.
But she said that since she had married into the Ye family, no matter what her status was, now that she was just a wife of the Ye family, she had to share the joys and sorrows with the Ye family.
The princess, who had never suffered any hardship, wandered with the Ye family.
He watched her transform from a delicate princess who had never had to do housework into a village woman who had to take care of her parents-in-law and children, and even work in the fields to hoe the land.
Ye Mufei's wife died of a serious illness on the way to exile, and his children grew up almost entirely with their second aunt, who was like their mother.
In the northwest, there are not many women who can make it all the way to the northwest, as their parents are old and their children are young. Many burdens fall on the princess.
She never complained and worked hard.
She and her second brother are very loving. Fortunately, her second brother is also hardworking. The couple takes care of the home in order, and he can work hard outside without any worries.
Just as things were gradually getting better, the good times didn't last long. My second and third brothers passed away one after another.
