Chapter 113 Leaving Home (Thanks to book friend 0385 for the reward!)

As the most youthful and beautiful maid, she was sent by Cui to serve Ye Mingsheng. Jinyu knew very well what this meant. Although she felt mixed emotions, she had already made some preparations. However, what she never expected was that Ye Mingsheng would actually reject her...

Although she was young, Jinyu, who had been surrounded by servants and maids for many years, was very confident in her appearance. She thought that after Ye Mingsheng saw her and offered her to him, he would tear her apart without hesitation, possess her, and sleep with her... But she never expected that the result would be like this. (Protective homonym, to prevent divine beasts.)
As she thought about it, a trace of sadness appeared on Jinyu's pretty face. She felt a little confused about her future path. She had always been trained by Cui as Ye Mingsheng's concubine. If Ye Mingsheng didn't like her, what should she do next?

Ye Mingsheng, who was in the room separated by a door, would never have thought that there would be so many little thoughts in Jinyu's small head. At this moment, he put on his clothes, looked at himself in the brass mirror, and a faint bitter smile appeared on his face.

Jinyu's current age, if placed on Earth, is just that of a high school student. Although there are no legal constraints now, Ye Mingsheng would still feel a little guilty if he really ate this little apple of hers.

As the saying goes, good food is worth waiting for. Jinyu is a maid in the Ye family, and he is the young master of the Ye family. Even if he wants to eat it, it is okay to wait until the apples are more ripe.

Also, although it feels good to eat the little apple now, there is no way to deal with it. It is inconvenient to keep it by my side, and I feel itchy if I stay at the Ye family. I am in a dilemma. It is better not to touch it for now and stay at the Ye family first...
Moreover, he is now under the threat of Xu Zhaojie. If he can resolve this threat, be transferred to the Zhenwu Army and return to Liaoyang, then everything will be easy.

Otherwise, this little apple, Jinyu, would be a burden. In short, after carefully weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Ye Mingsheng gave up temporarily with some regret, this little apple that was ready to be eaten at any time.

After a simple wash, Ye Mingsheng walked out of the room. What surprised him was that Jinyu's expression at this moment was a little depressed compared to just now, as if she had something on her mind. Ye Mingsheng did not think much about it and took her to Cui's room to pay her respects.

Cui, who was used to going to bed early and getting up early, had already finished washing up and was chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha. Seeing this scene, although Ye Mingsheng felt a little strange, he still stood quietly behind and waited for Cui to finish chanting. According to the original owner's memory, Cui was an atheist. On weekdays, he just offered sacrifices to the ancestors of the Ye family and never burned incense or worshipped Buddha.

As if seeing Ye Mingsheng's doubts, Jinyu, who was following behind him, added in a low voice:
"Ever since you wrote to me a few years ago saying that you were on the battlefield in Yongliang to suppress the Dangxiang uprising, I, the old lady, have been burning incense and praying to the Buddha that you, the young master, will be safe on the battlefield..."

After hearing this, Ye Mingsheng was touched. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly as a response.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, Cui finished worshiping Buddha and turned back to look at Ye Mingsheng and Jinyu. The old lady frowned slightly when she saw that Jinyu was moving as usual and had no discomfort at all.

Cui's expression immediately made Jinyu feel a little scared. She wanted to explain, but Ye Mingsheng was standing next to her. She was a shy girl, and she couldn't say these words in front of Ye Mingsheng. She could only stand there feeling embarrassed and ashamed.

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng changed his mind and explained cryptically: "Mother, Jinyu is fine, but I have important military affairs to attend to. I need to return to Luoan immediately and can't delay..." Hearing Ye Mingsheng's words to help her out, the petite and lovely Jinyu was delighted and immediately cast a grateful look at Ye Mingsheng.

Cui's eyes softened as she looked at Jinyu, and she said with a smile, "As long as you think it's good, I'll keep it for you."

"Thank you, mother!"

After having breakfast with Cui, Ye Tie, Ye Dong, Ye Kui and others also rushed back from Yejia Village outside the county town. Seeing that there were still 400 subordinates waiting for him in Dongxiang County, Ye Mingsheng did not dare to delay and said goodbye to Cui immediately.

Although she had been prepared, seeing Ye Mingsheng was about to leave again, Cui looked disappointed and gave Ye Mingsheng many instructions.

"Son, swords and guns are merciless on the battlefield, you must be careful. Mother does not ask you to achieve great things, but only asks you to be safe..." As she spoke, tears appeared in Cui's eyes again.

"Mother, don't worry. I have always been invincible in the imperial army. I will never encounter any danger. Besides, you sent Ye Tie and others to protect me. Nothing will happen to me." Ye Mingsheng smiled and comforted Cui.
After Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, Ye Tie and others, who were always very clever, also added at the right time:
"Madam, with us brothers here and the young master in the army, nothing will happen. You can just stay at home and wait for the young master to make achievements and bring honor to the family."

After hearing everyone's words, Cui's worried expression gradually improved. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng and others felt relieved and began to pack their luggage and prepare to leave.

Before leaving, Ye Mingsheng, who had just mounted his horse, finally waited for the opportunity and said to the reluctant Cui:
"Mother, I left something for you in my room, on the table. When you go back, remember to get it. Everything is fine in Luoan, so please don't worry about me!"

After saying this, in order to avoid Cui asking what the thing was, Ye Mingsheng bowed deeply to Cui, then took Ye Tie and others and rode out of the city along the street.

At the same time that Ye Mingsheng was riding his horse away from Fengshan County, in the Governor's Mansion in Dongning City, the provincial capital a hundred miles away from Fengshan County, Song Wenhui, the Governor of Liaoyang, sat upright on the armchair in the main hall, looking at a middle-aged scholar in a white robe with a dignified appearance and noble bearing who was walking towards him.

Although this man was dressed like a scholar, his tall stature like a military commander made him exude a heroic and fierce aura that could not be hidden. However, the most noticeable thing about him was the large new scar on his right cheek...
