TL: Moonlit
After resolving Mo Dashi’s situation, the atmosphere in the hall became noticeably lighter.
Taking advantage of the lively conversation among the people, Shen Ye called Ye Ze over and said, “Your brother’s birthdate is special. The Mo family should have invited Taoist priests to suppress the Yin energy on him. When you go back, tell the Mo family to send away those priests. In the past two years, your brother’s condition has worsened, and it may rebound onto those priests.”
Ye Ze immediately became serious and said, “Rest assured, I will convey the message.”
He was quite familiar with the situation in the Mo family. Indeed, Taoist priests had been coming and going in previous years, most likely to conceal his brother’s unique destiny.
Shen Ye nodded and said no more.
However, Ye Tangdi didn’t leave. Instead, he looked at Shen Ye with hesitation.
“Worried about your elder brother?” Shen Ye understood his thoughts and couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He snorted coldly, “Don’t you trust my abilities?”
He had already said that he could save Mo Dashi, yet Ye Tangdi still doubted him? His eyes instantly turned sharp and solemn as he stared at Ye Tangdi, as if he would explode if the cousin shook his head.
Ye Ze, who had been silent all this time, glanced at his cousin.
Ye Tangdi replied, “…No, I trust Sister-in-law, of course.”
Although he hadn’t witnessed Shen Ye’s abilities firsthand, he had heard from Shen Shimu about Shen Ye’s performance when he went to Nanshan Village. It was truly incredible…
“I trust Sister-in-law!” Ye Tangdi said firmly.
Only then did Shen Ye feel satisfied. “Good, you have some sense.”
Ye Tangdi smiled and sincerely said, “Sister-in-law, thank you.”
Today, Shen Ye had already received many thanks, so he lazily waved his hand. “Alright, hurry up and leave. Don’t disturb me and your brother.”
Ye Tangdi nodded silently and left.
“So you want to be alone with me?” Ye Ze chuckled and touched Shen Ye’s face.
Shen Ye hugged his waist and pouted. “Don’t you want to?”
“I do.” The man chuckled softly.
The two of them huddled in a corner, whispering quietly. Suddenly, Shen Shimu stood up and said, “Zong Yiming and I are getting married next week. Everyone, remember to come and celebrate.”
After speaking, he took out wedding invitations and distributed them to everyone.
Everyone present knew about Shen Shimu and Zong Yiming’s relationship, including Ye Tangdi and the Mo siblings. When Shen Shimu and Zong Yiming first got together, they had posted on their social media accounts.
Ye Tangdi had even said to Mo Xiaoyi, “I could tell their relationship was ambiguous. They’re really together now.”
But to be honest, no one had expected Shen Shimu and Zong Yiming to get married so quickly.
Shen Shimu explained, “Since everyone is in the capital, we decided to hold the wedding banquet.”
Normally, both he and Zong Yiming were busy, and they rarely had free time. This time, thanks to Shen Ye and Ye Ze’s wedding, Ye Ze had finished his work early, and their own matters were also less burdensome.
Everyone accepted the invitations and congratulated them one after another.
The afternoon became even more lively.
After the Mo family learned that Shen Ye could change Mo Dashi’s destiny, Grandpa Mo personally came with gifts to thank Shen Ye.
They knew that Shen Ye didn’t lack anything, but Shen Ye valued his grandmother, so he brought a lot of nourishing supplements for her. Among the gifts for Shen Ye, besides the thank-you fee, there was also a piece of high-quality jade.
Shen Ye: “…”
He seemed to have a special connection with jade.
This piece of jade from the Mo family was somewhat special. Shen Ye actually felt a trace of spiritual energy from it.
“This has been passed down in our family. I hope you like it, Master Shen,” Grandpa Mo said.
Shen Ye smiled and nodded, “It’s great.”
This piece of jade could absorb spiritual energy, and he had a censer that could generate spiritual energy. If he placed the jade in the censer, the spiritual energy on the jade would become even stronger. When the time came, he would give the jade to his grandmother to wear, which would better nourish her body.
Seeing that Shen Ye was very satisfied with the gift, Grandpa Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Dashi’s health had always been a concern for the Mo family, and as Mo Dashi’s grandfather, Grandpa Mo had been extremely worried. Master Shen accepting this gift meant that he would put forth more effort. How could Grandpa Mo not be happy?
In the evening, people from the Ye family in Haicheng also arrived, led by Ye Hong’s grandfather.
Ye Hong needed to stay in Haicheng, so he couldn’t come this time, but his cousins all came, including Ye Ting and Ye Hai, who were familiar with Shen Ye.
When Ye Ting saw Shen Ye, she excitedly pounced on him and exclaimed, “Sister-in-law!”
Shen Ye was also delighted and held Ye Ting’s hand. “Why did you come?”
He had no idea that people from the Ye family in Haicheng would be coming and hadn’t received any prior information.
Ye Ting smiled mischievously and said, “I wanted to surprise you, so I asked Grandpa and the others to keep it a secret.”
Shen Ye thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, “Does my husband know?”
“Of course, Ze-gege knows,” Ye Ting answered carelessly.
Shen Ye: “…”
He made a mental note and decided to settle the score with his husband later.
Ye Ting pulled him aside eagerly and asked, “So, did you read those materials? Are they useful?”
The reason Shen Ye got along well with Ye Ting was because those materials brought them closer.
“They are very useful,” Shen Ye lowered his voice, “Remember to share anything you find in the future.”
“No problem!” Ye Ting readily agreed with loyalty. Then, suddenly remembering something, she asked, “By the way, that area needs some maintenance, you know, right?”
Shen Ye was confused, “Which area?”
Ye Ting glanced at his rear.
Shen Ye: “…”
Ye Ting whispered, “The family found an old Chinese medicine doctor for me. The medicine he prepares is very effective. I brought some for you. Remember to apply it every night.”
Shen Ye thought about the chili fish head he couldn’t eat yesterday and couldn’t help but ask, “Does applying the medicine allow me to eat spicy food?”
That was his main concern.
Ye Ting hesitated and said, “…Maybe it’s better not to eat too spicy.”
Shen Ye: “…”
Did he have to give up eating spicy food for the sake of driving?
Or… give up driving and happiness for the sake of eating spicy food?
To eat spicy or to drive, that was the question.
Shen Ye suddenly fell into despair.
Seeing his desolate expression, Ye Ting hesitated and said, “Actually, it’s not necessarily. Some people have different constitutions and can eat spicy food without any problem. Moreover, you understand the art of magic, and with the medicine from the old Chinese doctor, there shouldn’t be any issues!”
Being comforted like this, Shen Ye’s mood improved, and he said, “Thank you for the medicine.”
“No need to be polite.” Ye Ting suddenly took out his phone and said mysteriously, “I recently obtained a new batch of materials. They’re all new. Do you want me to send them to you?”
Shen Ye immediately became interested, “Yes, yes, yes, quickly.”
Ye Ze was talking with Old Grandpa Ye while occasionally glancing in Shen Ye’s direction. Seeing Shen Ye and Ye Ting huddled together whispering, he couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.
There was no need to think to know what the two of them were talking about.
Fortunately, although Ye Ting was lively and active, he wasn’t the type to enjoy wild outings. Moreover, Ye Ting had been with his husband since he was eighteen, and they had a very good relationship. Therefore, Ye Ze was at ease with Shen Ye’s interaction with Ye Ting.
At night, over a dozen members of the Ye family from Haicheng stayed in the old mansion.
The old mansion had plenty of guest rooms, and it could accommodate several times more people.
After settling everyone, Ye Ze and Shen Ye returned to their own courtyard.
Shen Ye pushed the man against the door and started questioning him, “Uncle, why didn’t you tell me that Old Grandpa Ye and the others would come?”
Old Grandpa Ye was older than Grandpa Ye. Although he was in good health, the weather in the imperial capital was much drier than in Haicheng. It was quite surprising that Old Grandpa Ye would come to the capital for the banquet.
Ye Ze hugged Shen Ye’s waist and kissed the tip of his nose with a smile, “This is the first time you’ve appeared in front of the aristocratic families. Grandfather and the others came to support you.”
Shen Ye had already thought of this, which was why he was both surprised and touched.
“Okay, I forgive you then.” Shen Ye reached out and hugged the man’s neck. “I was actually planning to settle the score with you. Why didn’t you tell me about this in advance?”
“Oh?” Ye Ze chuckled, “How do you want to settle the score?”
Shen Ye’s eyes twinkled as he leaned over to kiss him, “Of course, by draining you dry.”
Ye Ze immediately scooped him up horizontally, “Alright, I’ll let you drain me.”
The two of them went from the bathroom to the bedroom and didn’t stop until late at night.
Before falling asleep, Shen Ye remembered the medicine Ye Ting had given him.
“Uncle, can you apply the medicine for me?” He already considered himself and the man as one, so he didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
When Ye Ze heard that it could take care of that particular area, he immediately took out the medicine and carefully applied it to the child.
It felt cool and refreshing, not bad at all.
After applying the medicine, Shen Ye lay on the man’s body and lazily said, “Xiao Ting said it’s better not to eat spicy food while doing this.”
Ye Ze understood him the best and immediately grasped his meaning.
He knew how much the child loved spicy food.
“How about I find a doctor to specifically adjust and maintain your body? Would you like that?” He gently stroked the child’s back, asking softly.
Shen Ye mumbled, “Actually, I feel my body is fine, I can handle spicy food.”
Ye Ze didn’t say anything but was already thinking about finding an old Chinese doctor to take care of the child.
Shen Ye rested his head on the man’s neck and said, “Or maybe I’ll try eating spicy tomorrow. If nothing happens, then you won’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Ye Ze: …Can he really test it like that?
“Alright, it’s settled then.” Shen Ye clenched his fist and muttered to himself.
Ye Ze: …
He secretly thought that tomorrow he would ask Zong Yiming to invite the famous old Chinese doctors in the capital.
Shen Ye had great confidence in his own body. He believed he could continue eating spicy food and driving every night.
Children only had to choose multiple-choice questions, but as adults, they had to choose all of them.
Eating spicy or driving, he couldn’t miss a single one!
Early the next morning, the housekeeper knocked on the door and delivered breakfast while also bringing Shen Ye and Ye Ze’s formal attire.
The banquet was scheduled to start at three in the afternoon, and as the main characters of the banquet, Shen Ye and Ye Ze needed to prepare early.
After having breakfast, the two of them changed into their formal attire.
Ye Ze wore a black suit that highlighted his figure, exuding an air of elegance and grace. Shen Ye wore a white suit, looking like a prince stepping out of a fairy tale.
“Do I look good?” Shen Ye flicked his sleeve and looked at Ye Ze in the mirror, intentionally asking.
Anyway, he thought he looked beautiful.
Ye Ze met his gaze in the mirror and hugged him from behind, his voice hoarse, “You look good.”
There was admiration and amazement in his eyes.
If it weren’t for the fact that they still had to go to the front yard later, he would definitely be unable to resist slowly stripping off the child’s suit right here.
Shen Ye sensed the man’s emotions and couldn’t help but purse his lips and smile.
He had said he was very charming, and now he was almost dizzying the man.
“You’re handsome too.” Shen Ye turned around and threw himself into the man’s arms, embracing his waist and praising him with a smile, “My husband is the most handsome in the world!”
Ye Ze chuckled and bit his earlobe, nonchalantly replying, “Is that so?”
“Yes.” Shen Ye slipped his fingers into the man’s collar. “Uncle, let’s take a drive before we go out.”
Ye Ze looked at his watch. “Twenty minutes, not enough time.”
Shen Ye said, “I believe in you, you can do it.”
“Hmm?” The man’s voice carried a hint of danger.
Shen Ye quickly corrected himself, “I know we don’t have enough time. I just thought that maybe with my charm, I could make you go a little faster?”
Ye Ze was both annoyed and amused, pinching his nose. “Yes, you’re charming, but twenty minutes is too short.”
Shen Ye thought about the man’s combat power from last night and decided not to push further.
If they really drove, they might end up fooling around until late at night.
Today was the day when Ye family introduced him to the prestigious families in the capital. If anything went wrong, it would not only be a disappointment to Grandpa Ye’s preparations, but also to all the efforts put into the banquet.
“Okay, let’s save it for tonight.” Shen Ye reluctantly kissed the man’s chin.
Ye Ze cupped his face and gave him a gentle kiss.
The two of them held hands and walked to the front yard.
Today was a special day, and everyone was dressed formally, even Xu Sisi wore a beautiful floor-length gown.
As Shen Ye and Ye Ze entered the living room, everyone turned their attention to them.
“Handsome!” Xu Sisi gave them a thumbs-up.
Shen Ye grinned, pulling Ye Ze to Grandma Shen and then bending down, calling out, “Grandma.”
Although Grandma Shen’s health had improved over the past six months, her legs were still not fully healed, and she still had to use a wheelchair.
Seeing Shen Ye squatting next to the wheelchair with a cute smile, Grandma Shen smoothed his collar and sighed softly, “Little Ye has grown up.”
On the day they registered their marriage, Shen Ye was preoccupied with the bridal chamber and didn’t have a chance to talk with his grandmother. In fact, his grandmother had a lot to say to him.
How could Shen Ye not see through his grandmother’s thoughts? After thinking for a moment, he said to Ye Ze, “I’ll accompany Grandma to the lounge for a while.”
Ye Ze touched his head and said, “Go ahead.”
So Shen Ye pushed Grandma Shen to the lounge.
It was still hot today, and the central air conditioning in the lounge blew a cool breeze. Shen Ye draped a knitted sweater over Grandma Shen.
Grandma Shen smiled at him and handed him a document, saying, “This is for you.”
Without even looking, he knew it must be a transfer of property document.
Shen Ye didn’t accept it but squatted beside her feet, saying softly, “Grandma, I have money, you don’t need to give it to me.”
“You are a good child, I know you can make money, and the Ye family is wealthy too, but this is my intention…” Grandma Shen paused and looked kindly at him, saying, “Moreover, thanks to you, we settled the vendetta of the Shen family… You deserve all of this.”
Shen Ye fell silent for a moment, his mouth twitching, and called out, “Grandma…”
“Grandma knows.” Grandma Shen smiled, patting his shoulder. “I’m very grateful to you, and I believe Little Ye is grateful too.”
At her age, how could she not see the difference between Shen Ye and her own grandson?
Moreover, Shen Ye had always treated her well, genuinely respecting her as his grandmother, and he even avenged the Shen family.
So when she discovered the truth, she didn’t confront Shen Ye.
She even thought that Shen Ye was a continuation of her grandson’s life in a different form, and she was glad that her grandson lived on in her presence.
Of course, Shen Ye understood the meaning behind his grandmother’s words, and he wasn’t surprised that his grandmother had noticed something was amiss.
After a few seconds of silence, he held Grandma Shen’s hand and solemnly said, “I will treat you well.”
Grandma Shen touched his hair and smiled, saying, “I believe you.”
In fact, Shen Ye had already been good to her.
With her health condition, if she had remained locked up in the sanatorium under Yang Ming’s control, she probably would have passed away within six months, joining the old man and her daughter and grandson in death.
Fortunately, Shen Ye came.
He saved her and avenged her by taking back all of the Shen family’s assets.
From then on, she had no regrets in this life.
She handed over her property to Shen Ye as a way to thank him. Otherwise, even if she went underground, she would have to watch Yang Ming and Liu Yuejuan, those despicable people, take over the Shen family’s assets.
“You should accept these things, consider them as wedding gifts from me,” Grandma Shen said with a smile.
Shen Ye pondered for a moment and said, “How about you make a will and transfer it to me later?”
He knew that the older generation liked to hold onto their money. If he took Grandma Shen’s property now, she wouldn’t have much left. He would certainly treat her well, but he also feared that she might feel insecure.
Grandma Shen patted his hand and said, “Keep it, I know you and Xiao Ze are both good kids.”
But in the end, Shen Ye didn’t accept the property. Instead, he invited Ye Ze and the lawyer from the Ye family and convinced Grandma Shen to make a will, so that Shen Ye would inherit the property after Grandma Shen’s passing, years from now.
In fact, with Shen Ye’s talisman and the jade given by the Mo family, Grandma Shen could live for a long time in the future. They might even be able to go to other worlds together. Therefore, this will might take many years to become effective.
But regardless, this will represented Grandma Shen’s intentions, and Shen Ye was deeply moved.
Ye Ze stood by as a witness.
After the lawyer safely secured the will, the man gently pressed Shen Ye’s shoulder, silently comforting him.
Shen Ye lowered his head and kissed the man’s slender fingers, smiling as he said, “Grandma is good to me. In the future, you and I have to be filial to her together.”
Ye Ze nodded solemnly like never before and said, “Mm.”
Soon it was three o’clock in the afternoon.
Some prestigious families who had formed good relationships with the Ye family had already arrived, and Shen Ye and Ye Ze were busy receiving the guests.
All eyes were focused on Shen Ye.
In fact, ever since Ye Ze went to Haicheng, those families had known that the Ye family would welcome their new mistress, and he was even a small celebrity.
Initially, everyone was curious about how the young master Ye ended up with a celebrity. Later, they found out about the prearranged marriage between the young master Ye and Shen Ye since childhood.
Those men and women who liked Ye Ze were actually unwilling to accept it. Even if there was a prearranged marriage, so what? Shen Ye was just a small celebrity, not from a distinguished background. Why should he be favored by the young master Ye?
It was only when they learned that Shen Ye was a formidable master that their jealousy towards him diminished. Every formidable prestigious family had dealings with some Taoists, and truly capable Taoists were quite terrifying.
After all, the Ye family had nearly been destroyed by a Taoist.
As a result, those people felt a little more wary of Shen Ye.
However, that didn’t mean everyone accepted Shen Ye.
When Shen Ye went to the restroom, he was stopped by a young lady from one of the prestigious families.
“Are you really a master?” She was stunning and elegant, wearing a fiery red dress. She frowned and stared at Shen Ye. “You’re so young and good-looking, you don’t look like a Taoist at all.”
Shen Ye: “…”
Is she really a love rival?
