When she arrived at the door of Ye Mansion, Ye Lingyue couldn't help but be stunned.

How did Ye Mansion decline into this state?

Ye Lingyue remembered that the last time she left Ye Mansion to go to Gu Yuehai, Ye Mansion was at its peak, and there were eight guards at the door alone, all of whom were Samsara Realm warriors. But now,

There are only a few old slaves in the Ye Mansion, and they are all only innate masters.

With such a level of guard, how can the Ye family gain a foothold in the imperial city?

"Little miss, the small rivers are full and the big rivers are swollen. Ever since Ye Hou rebelled, Ye Mansion has been getting worse day by day. And there are ambushes all around to monitor Ye Mansion."

Mayor Zhao saw Ye Lingyue's confusion and explained in a low voice.

When the tree fell and everyone dispersed, the masters who had previously attached themselves to the Ye Mansion also fled one after another, and some, like Mr. Wu, directly took away the property in the manor.

Even the Jinshan Mountain in Ye Mansion has been eaten up.

"Don't these Ye Huangcheng and his sons care?"

After Ye Lingyue heard this, she couldn't help but get furious.

Although she was unhappy in Ye Mansion in her early years, she always treated Ye Mansion very well for her mother's sake.

Even if she went to Guyuehai, she would always send some elixirs, talismans and artifacts back.

These things alone are enough to feed the Ye family for several generations.

You must know that those are not ordinary things. They are all made by Ye Lingyue, a Fangxian-level being. Any one of them is enough for an ordinary small family to regard it as a family heirloom.

Ye Lingyue didn't believe that with so many secret treasures, the Ye family would lose all of them within a few years.

Ye Lingyue also heard that several descendants of the Ye family had broken through the realm of reincarnation by relying on the reincarnation pill she had refined before. The worst ones at the moment should be around the fourth level of reincarnation.

With such a level of cultivation, if you don't meet the core disciples of various sects, you probably won't have such a miserable time in the imperial city.

"This...I'm afraid it's hard to explain in one sentence. I have to blame Young Master Ye Qing. In order to curry favor with Bagua Tianmen, he married a female disciple of Bagua Tianmen. Who knew that the female disciple was very powerful? After marrying to Ye Mansion,

, and took control of Ye Mansion’s finances. Nine out of ten of those pills, artifacts and talismans have become the private property of Bagua Tianmen.”

As soon as Ye Qing was mentioned, Mayor Zhao had an ugly look on his face.

If it weren't for Ye Qing's marriage, Ye Mansion wouldn't have suffered such a serious decline.

So to be precise, the person who controls Ye Mansion now is not Ye Qing and his son, but the female disciple of Bagua Tianmen.

As expected, Ye Qing is still as messy as before.

Ye Lingyue's eyes darkened.

"Let's go in. I want to see how powerful this person from Bagua Tianmen is."

Ye Lingyue snorted coldly.

Ye Mansion, as long as she, Ye Lingyue, is here, it will never collapse.

"Guys, I want to see my parents."

Mayor Zhao got off the carriage and walked straight to the two guards.

He is also an old retainer of Ye Mansion, so the guards are quite familiar with him.

"This is Mayor Zhao. Mayor, please wait a moment. We will go and inform the young lady first."

Several guards recognized Mayor Zhao, but they still did not inform Ye Qing directly.

"I want to meet my parents, why do I need to inform my young mistress? Or, as an old retainer, I need to get my young mistress's permission to meet my parents now."

Mayor Zhao looked a little unhappy.

The young lady the guard mentioned was the one from Bagua Tianmen.

Mayor Zhao did not expect that after not being in Ye Mansion for a while, the woman would control Ye Mansion even more fiercely.

Now she has to inform her even when she meets the head of the family, so why is Ye Mansion still called Ye Mansion?!

Several guards looked at each other in confusion.

One of them was slightly familiar with Mayor Zhao and said in a lowered voice.

"Mayor Zhao, please don't get angry. If someone hears about it, you may not know what will happen. There will be an auction in the summer, and the young lady is worried about the crowds in the city, so she asked for a report. After this

It will be much better after a while.”

After that, he gave a wink and asked someone to go in and report.

Ye Lingyue and others finally understood the implication.

The other party was worried that someone with evil intentions would enter and leave the Ye Mansion and cause unnecessary trouble.

Mayor Zhao listened and said nothing.

After a while, I heard the guard running out.

"Mayor Zhao, you can go in."

Mayor Zhao snorted coldly and walked straight in.

"You two are waiting outside. Don't walk around here or there, so as not to offend anyone."

Before entering the living room, Mayor Zhao deliberately left Ye Lingyue and Ye Yun behind.

The two understood each other and waited outside.

Mayor Zhao entered the living room and saw Ye Huangcheng sitting inside.

Ye Huangcheng is in his prime, but now he looks like an old man in his fifties or sixties. His hair has turned gray and his back is a little stooped. It can be seen that the new head of the Ye family is not having a smooth life.

"Zhao Lei, you are here, you are one of our own, please sit down."

Ye Huangcheng motioned to Mayor Zhao to sit down.

"Is it okay for the master to come in? This subordinate came to visit the master on the order of my mother. The harvest of spiritual millet this year is not bad, so I specially brought some for the master."

Hearing what Mayor Zhao said, Ye Huangcheng looked a little moved.

Ever since Ye Huangyu openly rebelled against Gu Yuehai and Emperor Xia abdicated, the reputation and status of the Ye family have plummeted.

In addition, because of that young man Qing'er's inability to recognize people and that evil woman, the Ye family offended many nobles and ministers in the Xia capital. The Ye family became the lackeys in the eyes of other forces. Ye Huangcheng accepted the order in the face of danger and became the head of the family.

In the past two or three months, the retainers and servants of the Ye family have been running away and running away. You can imagine the pressure on their shoulders.

The spirit millet in Zhouchu Town must pay taxes. Under this situation, Mayor Zhao still remembered the Ye family and took the risk to send some spirit millet. Ye Huangcheng was very moved just because of this friendship.

.

Ye Huangcheng chatted with Zhao Lei for a few more words, nothing more than how the public security in Zhouchu Town was these days, whether there were any difficulties encountered, the current situation in Xiadu, etc.

"I wonder how the old man is doing. My mother asked me to go down and see him."

Seeing that Ye Huangcheng was in good spirits, Mayor Zhao took the opportunity to ask that he want to see his old master.

After hearing this, Ye Huangcheng had a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Zhao Lei, you are an old man of the Ye family, and I am not afraid to tell you the truth. It's not that I don't let you see my father, but..."

Ye Huangcheng's eyes were full of pain and anger.

Outsiders say that he, Ye Huangcheng, is an ungrateful person. For the sake of being the head of the family, he even put his own father under house arrest.

Ye Gu's affairs were all handled by Gu Yuehai, he was just a puppet.

He wanted to ask for his father's release several times, but the evil woman in the inner courtyard refused to do so.

"Mayor Zhao is really thoughtful. He came here to see the old man. However, the old man is ill and is not suitable for seeing guests."
