Ye Chen
When Ye Chen asked him if he had gone to the temple, Tang Sihai couldn't help but be surprised.
He didn't know what Ye Chen meant when he asked him, whether he knew his whereabouts, or whether he knew exactly who he was meeting.
However, he was very smart. Since he was surprised, he did not hide his surprise at all. Instead, he asked with surprise: "Master, how do you know?"
Ye Chen said casually: "You smell like incense."
Tang Sihai suddenly understood, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he did not dare to show any relief, but said with a smile: "I went to Yonghe Temple this afternoon. I happened to have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I went to the temple to pay my respects."
Ye Chen nodded, without any doubt in his heart.
Tang Sihai's status in the Ye family is the highest among all the Ye family members. For him, the job of housekeeper also has a high degree of freedom. It is reasonable for him to take time to burn incense and worship Buddha.
As for why he went to burn incense and worship Buddha, Ye Chen didn't think much about it.
After all, Chinese people go to temples, just like Europeans and Americans go to church, it is a very daily behavior.
So, Ye Chen turned over this topic directly.
But Lin Wan'er on the side glanced at Tang Sihai a few more times.
She didn't notice much abnormality, but she felt that Tang Sihai's appearance and impression were more like a staunch atheist. It seemed a bit inconsistent for such a person to go to the temple.
What's more, based on her understanding of Buddhism, although people who devoutly believe in Tantric Tibetan Buddhism are very devout, most of them have a strong utilitarianism, and the vast majority of them seek wealth and power.
This is also the reason why almost all celebrities believe in Tibetan Buddhism.
In Lin Wan'er's opinion, Tang Sihai's appearance did not look like the kind of person with a strong utilitarianism, so this was somewhat inconsistent.
However, Lin Wan'er was a human being after all, not a god, so she just felt strange, but it was difficult to guess more from just a few words.
At this time, Ye Zhongquan on the side asked Ye Chen: "Chen'er, how long do you plan to stay in Yanjing this time?"
Ye Chen said truthfully: "I haven't decided yet. The fastest thing is tomorrow afternoon. I want to go to Yeling Mountain in the morning to pay homage to my parents."
Ye Zhongquan asked in surprise: "So hasty? It's not easy to come here once, why not stay here for a few more days."
Ye Chen waved his hand: "It still doesn't work. To be honest, I came here mainly to see if the things left by my parents can give me some tips or guidance. I plan to take some time to gradually take care of them when they were young. Walk all the roads they have taken and visit all the places they have been.”
Ye Zhongquan nodded slightly and sighed: "Your parents were always mysterious back then, and I didn't understand many things. Since you have the idea to find out, grandpa also supports you."
As he spoke, he added: "Your parents' room and study room have remained the same as they were 20 years ago. I haven't let anyone touch the things in them. Sihai has always been responsible for maintaining them. After dinner later, , just go in and look around, and if there’s anything unclear, just ask Sihai.”
……
At this moment, Yonghe Palace.
This popular temple is now closed to all visitors.
An Chengqi stood in the courtyard, smelling the dense scent of incense in the temple, looking at the bright moon in the sky, with mixed feelings in his heart.
In her heart, she was only thinking about her son Ye Chen, whom she had not seen for 20 years.
At this moment, the distance between Yonghe Temple and the Ye family's old residence is only one or two kilometers. From here, it takes 10 minutes to drive to the door of the Ye family's old residence.
But even so, An Chengqi repeatedly told himself that it was not the time to meet his son yet.
Seeing her melancholy alone in the courtyard, the false master came forward and asked respectfully: "Madam is only a few streets away from the young master at the moment. She must really want to see the young master, right?"
An Chengqi nodded: "My son, I haven't seen him for 20 years, how can I not miss him."
After saying that, An Chengqi added: "But thinking about it, now is not the time to meet Chen'er. Besides, today is not the time when Chen'er and I are closest. I was sitting in the stands during Nannan's concert in New York some time ago. Up there, Chen'er and Xiao Churan were in the box above my head. That was the closest Chen'er and I were to each other in the past 20 years."
The fake teacher couldn't help but sigh: "My subordinates were really scared that time... Your parents, younger brothers and sisters were all present at the scene. If anything goes wrong, it could lead to a tragedy..."
An Chengqi smiled slightly and asked her, "Were you worried that Chen'er wouldn't take action?"
The fake teacher thought for a moment and nodded: "I was a little worried at that time because you said that the young master seemed to have some prejudice against your parents, and before that, the young master only gave Miss Gu the elixir that could save your father. But he did not give her the elixir that could cure your father, so my subordinates were afraid that if the young master hesitated for a moment, it might be too late. In that case, we must take action in the shortest possible time, but if the young master If we didn't take action at the first time, we would have missed the best opportunity, and I'm afraid casualties would be inevitable."
An Chengqi said seriously: "Although Changying arranged a safe environment for Chen'er back then, he did not arrange any privileges for him. He struggled in the mud of Jinling for nearly 20 years, so sometimes he does have some perverse and eccentric traits. Gangsterism, the punishment methods for some evildoers are often a bit worse than those for evildoers, but I still understand his character very well. Regarding this kind of matter, no matter how many misunderstandings and dissatisfaction Chen'er has in his heart, he will definitely do it. Take action immediately."
After saying that, An Chengqi smiled slightly and said with relief: "Actually, I like Chen'er's gangsterism, clear love and hate, and rarely restrained by others;"
"Changying lacked a bit of gangster spirit back then and always used high moral standards to restrain herself, so she was constrained by herself everywhere;"
"Chen'er is different. He kidnapped himself immorally;"
"So what if my grandpa is critically ill? When there is a estrangement between our hearts, saving his life at most is considered the ultimate act of benevolence. No more will be lost."
"For the same thing, if it were Chang Ying, he would rather swallow the fly himself than cure my father's disease in one step."
The false teacher said with great approval: "Master Changying pursues to convince people with virtue, but Master Chen is 'people respect me a foot, I respect others a foot; people destroy me a drop, I take away three fights from others'."
An Chengqi nodded and said: "This is what I appreciate most about Chen'er. Changying has paid so much for the Ye family back then, and he is the one who is most qualified and should succeed as the head of the Ye family;"
With that said, An Chengqi changed the topic and said: "Unfortunately, my father-in-law felt that he was strong and was unwilling to delegate power to him early, and Changying was unwilling to take away the inheritance rights of his eldest brother Ye Changkong as his eldest son, so you don't say anything. , I didn’t say anything, and he never became the head of the Ye family;”
"But on the other hand, Chen'er doesn't have so many worries."
"So what if Ye Changkong is his uncle? If you should kneel on Yeling Mountain, you must kneel. So what if Ye Changmin is his aunt? If you should be under house arrest in Jinling City Village, don't even think about coming out for a moment;"
"So what if my father-in-law doesn't want to delegate power? It's not up to him whether he wants to or not. Chen'er can help himself to get the upper hand. What Chen'er did in this matter won my heart!"
"Who stipulates that the previous head of the family must agree to be the head of the family? To put it another way, as long as he doesn't dare to object, wouldn't it be fine?"
He didn't know what Ye Chen meant when he asked him, whether he knew his whereabouts, or whether he knew exactly who he was meeting.
However, he was very smart. Since he was surprised, he did not hide his surprise at all. Instead, he asked with surprise: "Master, how do you know?"
