Chapter 2399 - 2401: Ye Rongqing, Ride Slower for Me

"Sigh, hopefully it can happen." Dongyang glanced at the tightly closed door, then turned to ask Yang Chuxia, "Is Yueyue and Qingqing really coming over?"

"They’re coming. In a few days, it’s Brother An’s birthday. They come every year around this time."

"Oh right, I actually forgot about that." Dongyang patted her head. "My brain hasn’t been working well lately."

"You’re worried sick about Huarong."

"How can I not be worried? What will happen to her in the future?" Dongyang sighed deeply, "Even if my Mu Residence can support her for a lifetime, when Chengcheng and the others are all married, she’ll still be alone. It’s heartbreaking."

"..."

After Commandery Princess Dongyang and Yang Chuxia left, the door was opened from the inside. The maid glanced out and then closed the door again.

"Miss, madam still cares for you."

"Are you sure?" She glanced at the maid and continued reading the book in her hand.

The maid’s words stirred no ripple in her heart.

"Ye Rongqing, slow down for me. We’re on the street; if you run into someone, watch out or Dad will give you a hard time."

The Ye family’s boy-and-girl set of twin had already arrived in Wangquan Town, each on a horse, leaving the group of guards far behind.

"My riding skills are so good; how could I run into someone? Besides, I’ve already slowed down."

"Slow down even more for me." Ye Rongyue’s voice echoed again, "If you don’t slow down, I’ll tell second brother, and then he won’t take you to the military camp. Don’t blame me for ratting you out."

"Ah... Sis, you’re so annoying." As soon as he heard these words, Ye Rongqing immediately stopped his horse, waiting for Ye Rongyue to catch up with him before walking slowly.

"You brat, dare to talk back? With the speed you were going just now, if big brother and second brother found out, they’d throw you off the horse."

Their two brothers feared the most that one of them would turn into a fop or a spoiled fool. Over these past few years, with their parents not in the Capital City, the two had been strictly managed; it was indescribable.

Behaving like riding recklessly on the street was definitely a punishable offense.

"Didn’t I stop? Sis, you’re really naggy."

Ye Rongyue glared at him. If he weren’t her own little brother, she wouldn’t bother nagging.

"Shut up!"

Only after leaving Wangquan Town did the siblings spur their horses into a wild gallop again.

"Dad, Mom!!" As the horses stopped at the Ye Family’s entrance, Ye Rongqing shouted.

"Can’t you wait until you’re inside to shout?" Ye Rongyue frowned, "Absolutely uncouth."

"Sis, you need to get married quickly." Ye Rongqing turned his head, "Otherwise, I’ll be nagged to death."

Goodness, can life go on? In the Capital City, he’s managed by big brother, and once he leaves the Capital City, he’s managed by his sister. Can he have some freedom?

"Marry your sister off? I’d rather marry you off." Ye Zi’an came over from a distance carrying a wooden bucket full of crabs, fish, and shrimp, glaring discontentedly at Qingqing, "Your sister can’t marry until she’s twenty, but you should find a family to marry into instead."

"Pfft..." Qingqing nearly fell off his horse, "Dad, you’re really something!"

After dismounting, he took Ye Zi’an’s wooden bucket, laughed, and said, "If my sister marries at twenty, she’d really be considered an old maid."

"What are you afraid of? Twenty and she can still marry well! Who would dare have poor taste as to reject Ye Zi’an’s daughter?"

Once they entered the courtyard, they saw Yang Chuxia and Dongyang sitting beneath a tree, enjoying the breeze.

"Mom, Aunt Dongyang."

"..."

Commandery Princess Dongyang laughed, "I only heard your mom saying yesterday that you were coming, and I didn’t expect you’d be here today."
