Chapter 167 Ye Tie's Discovery

After sleeping in the study for a whole night and getting up early the next morning to have breakfast, although Pei Zhixiu behaved normally, Ye Mingsheng vaguely felt that something was wrong with her.

However, at this time, Zhao Dechang sent someone to deliver a batch of official documents to Ye Mingsheng for processing. Ye Mingsheng could not take care of Pei Zhixiu for the time being. After working on the documents for the whole morning, Ye Mingsheng took the opportunity to come out of the study at noon to take a breath and rest for a while.

Looking at Pei Zhixiu's thin figure standing under the jujube tree in the yard, recalling the feeling in the morning, Ye Mingsheng walked over.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the two of them were alone in the yard, Ye Mingsheng wanted to say something private, but as soon as he put his arm around Pei Zhixiu's slender waist, Pei Zhixiu slapped him down without a word.

"I had my period today, and I'm not feeling well..." Pei Zhixiu said softly with a normal look:
After hearing this reason, Ye Mingsheng did not think too much about it. He just thought that Pei Zhixiu was not right because of the relatives coming. He then asked her about her health, such as not to eat cold food and drink more hot water, and then returned to the study.

Due to the urging of the Ministry of War, Chen Dechang has decided to set off for Liaoyang on the ninth day of next month, and Ye Mingsheng will serve as the vanguard of the Zhenwu Army and go to Liaoyang a month in advance, that is, on the seventh day of next month, to meet with the second-in-command of the Zhenwu Army, Commander Gongsun Heng, to make arrangements for the arrival of the large army.

There are less than twenty days left until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Time is tight and the task is heavy. There are also many documents to be processed, all of which cannot be delayed. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng can only get things out as soon as possible to give Chen Dechang some feedback.

He worked until 15:30 in the evening, and before he could even think of Ye Mingsheng, he had finished his work for the day. Just when Ye Mingsheng stretched himself and felt hungry, he was about to call Ye Tie to get him something to eat.

However, he found that Ye Tie was already standing at the door of the study with a lunch box. Seeing that Ye Mingsheng had finished his work, Ye Tie walked over without Ye Mingsheng's instructions, took out the food from the lunch box and placed it in front of Ye Mingsheng.

Looking at the delicious boiled river shrimp, roasted eggplant, and a bowl of rice in front of him, Ye Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction and praised with a smile:
"You still understand me, Ye Tie!"

"Master, eat it while it's hot, or it will get cold and won't taste good!" Ye Tie warned:

"Ok!"

After responding, Ye Mingsheng, who was already extremely hungry, picked up the chopsticks and began to wolf down the food. Soon, all the food went into Ye Mingsheng's stomach.

Watching Ye Tie put away the dishes and chopsticks, Ye Mingsheng wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "What's the matter?"

When Ye Mingsheng said this, Ye Tie stood there in a daze, as if his secrets had been touched upon.

Looking quietly at his personal guard captain, Ye Mingsheng waited for him to speak. Just as Ye Tie knew him, Ye Mingsheng also knew this calm subordinate very well. Although Ye Tie appeared very calm at this moment, Ye Mingsheng could tell that he had something to say to him.

Since Ye Mingsheng had discovered him, Ye Tie simply stopped hiding his expression. He frowned, and seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he didn't know how to speak to Ye Mingsheng. "Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need for us to be so cautious!" Seeing Ye Tie like this, Ye Mingsheng became curious and couldn't help but say:
After getting Ye Mingsheng's permission, Ye Tie no longer had any scruples. He gritted his teeth and said:
"When I was using the restroom late last night, I discovered that Miss Pei was eavesdropping on the conversation in the west wing. I didn't say anything and just quietly observed for a while."

"When Miss Pei returned to the east wing, I quietly returned to the west wing. I asked Ye Dong, Ye Kui and the others, and then I learned that they had just started talking about how you met the daughter of the Murong family in Mingyan Tower last night..."

After saying that, Ye Tie looked at Ye Mingsheng, as if hoping that Ye Mingsheng could understand what he said.

Hearing every word Ye Tie said clearly, Ye Mingsheng nodded calmly and said in a deep voice: "I understand!"

After hearing Ye Mingsheng's feedback and seeing that his young master didn't seem to understand what he meant, Ye Tie became a little anxious. He wanted to speak more directly to make it easier for Ye Mingsheng to understand. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, before he could continue, Ye Mingsheng looked at him and spoke word by word:

"I said I know!"

Feeling Ye Mingsheng's unquestionable and firm tone, although Ye Tie wanted to say something, he was powerless. He bowed to Ye Mingsheng with disappointment on his face, turned around and left the study with his lunch box.

However, just as Ye Tie took a few steps, Ye Mingsheng's low voice came from behind him.

"Don't tell anyone else about this. Without my order, you are not allowed to try..."

Ye Tie was stunned again when he heard this. The next second, a look of relief appeared on his face. He immediately turned around and bowed to Ye Mingsheng again, and said in a low voice:
"Understood. I will follow your instructions."

Ye Mingsheng nodded when he heard that, closed his eyes and waved his hand. Ye Tie, who received the order, left Ye Mingsheng's study room with joy.

Ever since the secret conversation with Ye Mingsheng in the cellar, Ye Tie, who originally had no great ambitions, had his desires ignited by Ye Mingsheng...
As Ye Mingsheng's top confidant, Ye Tie watched Pei Zhixiu climb onto his young master's bed and become increasingly intimate with him, with the possibility that she would become the young mistress of the Ye family.

He saw it all and was anxious, and he wanted to remind Ye Mingsheng several times, "Young Master, you are a man who can do great things. A girl from the palace who comes from a poor family like Pei Zhixiu can just be a toy and can be a concubine. Don't take it seriously!"

Although this is Ye Mingsheng's personal feeling, Ye Tie is more anxious than him. After all, if Ye Mingsheng becomes successful, he will naturally be able to benefit from it and become more powerful...
With Ye Mingsheng's current position as a fifth-rank official, he can definitely marry women from prominent families. Although he may not be able to marry a legitimate daughter, marrying a concubine's daughter will be of great help to his future prospects. It is a thousand or ten thousand times better than marrying Pei Zhixiu!
With this idea in mind, although Ye Tie never said it, he became more and more displeased with Pei Zhixiu. He always felt that this woman from Gongdu was a stumbling block to Ye Mingsheng's future.
