Chapter 1197 Ye Qingyun comes out
Chapter 1197 Ye Qingyun comes out
imperial capital.
The struggle between the four major families did not weaken with Lu Feng's departure, but became more intense.
Many projects, companies and even family members were affected.
However, despite the fierce struggle among the four major families, the higher-ups remained indifferent.
Only when the officials attached to the four major families are brought down will new personnel be assigned to take their places.
Apart from this, no one else seems to care, even though the struggle between the four major families has indirectly caused a loss of more than 100 billion.
But for the higher-ups, as long as these things do not shake the foundation of the country, they can pretend not to see anything else.
What's more, the more fiercely the four major families fight each other, the more beneficial it will be to the officialdom. Zhou Qinzheng is eager to see the four major families fight even more fiercely.
The old house of the Ye family.
Since the war between the two sides began, Ye Wenwu would stay here every day until late at night before going back, in order to get in touch with more powerful people in the family and see if he could win them over to his camp.
Of course, staying in the old house also facilitates the transmission of information, allowing for better command of other clansmen and resistance to attacks from the Li and Shen families.
But today, a big man from the Ye family came to the old house - Ye Qingyun, the previous patriarch of the Ye family, who is also the father of Ye Wenwu and Ye Wenyuan, and the grandfather of Ye Tian.
In Ye Wenyuan’s private study, three figures sat down together.
The usually dignified Ye Wenyuan and Ye Wenwu seemed a little uneasy in front of the old figure sitting on the armchair, without any trace of their former demeanor.
Looking at his two sons who were a little nervous in front of him, Ye Qingyun couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
As the previous patriarch of the Ye family, after he gave up the position of patriarch of the Ye family, he has been staying in the sanatorium to cultivate his body and mind, and not caring about worldly affairs.
I water the flowers and walk the birds every day, preparing to spend the last moments of my life peacefully.
But plans cannot keep up with changes, and the Ye family is suddenly besieged by the Shen family and the Li family.
The family became precarious, and there were even rumors that his two sons did not think of uniting against the common enemy when the family was in danger, but instead fought among themselves.
This huge change forced him to leave the sanatorium and take charge of the family, devoting his last bit of energy to the family.
Ye Qingyun's gaze was like a heavy rock, slowly sweeping over his two sons who were both over fifty years old and were very influential in the outside world.
He suddenly raised the golden nanmu cane in his hand and slammed it heavily on the smooth floor, making a dull "dong" sound, breaking the suffocating silence in the study.
"Say!"
Ye Qingyun's voice was hoarse, typical of an elderly person, but it contained unquestionable majesty and deep disappointment.
"The Ye family was once a prosperous family! A legacy passed down for hundreds of years! How did it become like this?! Being besieged by the Shen and Li families, they are powerless to fight back!"
"There are even... there are even rumors out there that instead of uniting to fight the enemy, the two heads of your families are fighting among themselves?! Explain this to me!"
Listening to his father's scolding, Ye Wenwu lowered his eyes to hide the gloating that flashed across his eyes. He remained silent, leaving the opportunity to "explain" entirely to his eldest brother.
Under his father's sharp gaze, Ye Wenyuan's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
After decades of living together, he knew his father's temper very well, and he also knew that this matter could not be kept secret.
"Dad, this is what happened..."
Ye Wenyuan gritted his teeth and recounted the story of how Ye Tian had repeatedly provoked and framed Lu Feng, ultimately completely enraging him and leading to the frantic revenge of Lu Feng and his allies, the Shen and Li families - he told the whole story without daring to hide anything.
As the story progressed, his voice became lower and lower, and his head drooped lower and lower, as if every word he spoke was a slap in the face.
"What?! It was actually... it was actually... that evil creature Tian'er who caused this trouble?!"
After hearing this, Ye Qingyun's originally steady breathing suddenly became rapid, and his old face turned red with extreme shock and anger.
"He...how dare he act so recklessly?! Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
A violent coughing fit came over him, causing him to hunch over as if he would pass out at any moment.
The information he heard in the sanatorium was actually all true. The Ye family suffered this disaster because of a young boy.
Originally, he thought that Ye Wenwu and Ye Wenyuan had not taken good care of the Ye family, and were afraid of his punishment, so they put the blame on a child.
A strong anger gushed out, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Dad! Dad! Don't be angry! Please don't be angry! Your health is important!"
Seeing this, Ye Wenyuan was so frightened that he didn't care about the family's appearance. He rushed forward, half-knelt beside his father, and frantically rubbed his back.
"It's my fault! I'm the one who didn't teach my son well! You can't get hurt! The Ye family can't live without you!"
Ye Wenwu also subconsciously wanted to step forward, but he was a beat too slow. Looking at his elder brother's appearance of a "filial son and grandson", he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice:
"Huh, are you anxious now?"
"If it weren't for your good son causing this terrible disaster, Dad would still be resting peacefully in a nursing home, enjoying his retirement. Why would he have to worry about us at such an old age..."
Although the voice was soft, it was particularly harsh in the quiet study.
Ye Wenyuan's movements suddenly froze, and his face instantly became extremely ugly, as if he had been slapped hard in the face, and it was burning with pain.
He suddenly raised his head and glared at Ye Wenwu.
But in front of his father who was coughing violently, he didn't dare to lose his temper. He could only swallow all the humiliation and anger back into his stomach and continue to massage his father's chest carefully, but the movement became a little stiff.
Ye Qingyun heard clearly the subtle interactions between his two sons and Ye Wenwu's resentful words. He had finally calmed down, but was stimulated by the scene before him and felt extremely heartbroken.
The quarrel between brothers is the biggest disaster for a family!
After taking several deep breaths, he finally had the strength to speak. His cloudy old eyes moved back and forth between his two sons in disappointment, and his voice was extremely tired:
"Before I came here... I heard... that you two brothers have been... at odds lately... to the point where you're suspicious of each other and holding each other back."
"I was a little skeptical at first, but now it seems to be true?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you?"
A serious voice exploded in their ears. Ye Wenyuan and Ye Wenwu fell silent at the same time, avoiding their father's gaze.
