Chapter 1078 (Separation)
"Yi Yi, this is not your fault. My big brother has found... found a fiancée for me."
Yi Yi was bewildered upon hearing this. A fiancée?
It turned out that when he mentioned his wife earlier, it wasn't referring to her but someone else.
"Yi Yi? Yi Yi?" Seeing Yi Yi looking dazed, Ye Juetian hurriedly called out.
"Ye Ye... Why didn't you tell me about all this before?" Yi Yi was puzzled. Why did she only find out now? Had she not appeared today, would she never have known?
"I... this engagement was decided a while ago, back when I didn't know you. Just understand that I'm serious about you."
Yi Yi understood, instantly revealing a pure smile. "Okay, Ye Ye, I believe you."
"Yi Yi, the situation is a bit complicated now. Trust me, I'll handle it," Ye Juetian said in a serious tone. He was determined to find a solution that both his mother and big brother could accept Yi Yi.
"Yeah, I'll do my best too. Ye Ye, you can rest assured."
"Yi Yi, for your safety, I'll act coldly. Don't take it to heart, okay?" Ye Juetian was afraid that his big brother might do something reckless and end up hurting Yi Yi.
After a moment of silence, Yi Yi responded, "Ye Ye, I understand. I can bear it."
"I'm sorry to make you go through this, Yi Yi."
Yi Yi comfortingly smiled, "No, as long as I can see you every day, I can accept anything."
"You silly girl, why are you so silly?" Ye Juetian felt heartbroken. Encountering a girl like Yi Yi was truly his fortune.
Yi Yi pouted, "Not talking to Ye Ye anymore; the head maid has arranged something."
"Alright, Yi Yi, take care."
"Okay, don't worry about me."
Watching the mirror turn black, Ye Juetian sighed deeply; things couldn't calm down.
What should he do now? How could he satisfy his brother and mother?
At this moment, Yi Yi was attentively listening to the head maid explaining various matters, appearing very earnest. She believed that doing well in her responsibilities would gain the acceptance of Ye Juetian's family.
However, the palace maids around noticed Yi Yi and seemed a bit hostile. After all, Yi Yi was too outstanding, arousing jealousy among the other maids.
Perhaps one day, this woman could soar and become a phoenix.
Yi Yi, however, was oblivious to the subtle tensions and continued to listen attentively.
"Yi Yi, from now on, you will be in charge of the Emperor's mother's daily affairs!" The head maid couldn't help but envy Yi Yi a bit. This girl had an advantage just because of her looks.
Indeed, as long as a girl looked good, regardless of the world or plane, she would be highly sought after – an unchanging law.
"Yes!" Yi Yi felt a sense of joy. She had heard Ye Juetian mention her, who was, in fact, Ye Ye's mother.
As long as she served Ye Juetian's mother well, she would surely earn recognition.
Daily tasks were quickly arranged, and Yi Yi became the personal maid serving Le Jing from now on.
Working with Daji made things easier for Yi Yi.
At this moment, Daji was also giving Yi Yi some important instructions. Yi Yi stood, listening intently.
Le Jing sat not far away, feeling that this girl named Yi Yi was decent. However, if Yi Yi were to become her daughter-in-law, Le Jing would oppose it because Yi Yi's humble background went against the concept of proper social status, which had deeply rooted in Le Jing's heart, considering the Spirit City's standards.
"Yi Yi, what I'm about to tell you next is crucial. You must pay attention and not be careless," Daji solemnly said.
"Yes, I will remember," Yi Yi assured.
Daji opened a box containing six small bottles.
"These are the daily necessities for the Emperor's mother! Pour a bowl of clear water, then add a drop of Spirit Spring. Understand?" Daji earnestly reminded. This was not a trivial matter; it required caution, as it concerned Le Jing's life.
"Yes, I understand," Yi Yi nodded. This seemed easy to comprehend, and she thought the daily tasks weren't as complicated as she had imagined.
Daji nodded, "Go do your tasks. If I'm not around, remember to give the Spirit Spring to her."
"Okay," Yi Yi replied earnestly.
On the other side, Ye Hua also received a message from Wei Chang, and things were going smoothly. He found some suitable candidates.
Ye Hua saw the images sent, and they all looked good. They could match Little Tian, and their strength was also commendable. When necessary, they could even assist Little Tian.
On Jue Tian's side, it seemed he had found a few good candidates too.
As for the other subordinates, it didn't matter much. They were ordinary girls who couldn't match up to Ye Hua's younger brother. It would be better to gather materials to forge a unique legendary weapon.
Meanwhile, the three women sat together chatting.
The conversation naturally revolved around Ye Juetian and Yi Yi.
"I think this should be Ye Hua's plan," Qing Ya proposed. After being a couple for so long, didn't they know Ye Hua's character?
Donghuang Baizhi nodded, agreeing with Qing Ya's suggestion. "Exactly, looking at it from a different perspective, Ye Hua hasn't done anything excessive. However, bringing Yi Yi into the palace might be to test Little Tian's attitude."
"Yeah, Little Tian seems to have fallen for the first girl he really likes," Qian Yuqing said helplessly.
"What do you think Ye Hua's purpose is?" Donghuang Baizhi speculated but wanted to hear everyone's opinions. She intended to help. Ye Hua's actions were really overbearing. How could he break up others?
Rather tear down a temple than break up a marriage.
Qian Yuqing whispered, "I think Ye Hua wants to make Yi Yi give up."
"Why?" Qing Ya curiously asked.
"Because right now, Little Tian verbally rejected Yi Yi, so he has to act indifferent. How can we girls endure such feelings for a long time? Maybe at first, she can willingly suffer, but as time goes on, she won't feel good." Qian Yuqing had the most say in this matter. Previously, Ye Hua had been indifferent to her, and that feeling almost shattered her heart. She even had thoughts of not wanting to live.
The deeper the love, the deeper the hurt.
"It seems like we need to come up with a plan!" Qing Ya tapped her index finger on the stone table, determined to help them. Couples in love should be together, regardless of their backgrounds. Why bother about it so much?
"Why are you all sitting here?" Ye Hua walked over and asked casually.
Qing Ya sweetly smiled, "Nothing, we were just discussing the child's issue. Yuqing wants a child."
These women were truly extraordinary.
"Let's deal with Little Tian's matter first, then we can talk. We should go to our mother's place for dinner. There's something Little Tian needs to decide."
"Is it about letting Little Tian choose a wife? Can't we take a look first?" Qing Ya urgently asked.
