Ch 4 – Rebirth (3)

While lost in her thoughts, Ye Qingtang opened her eyes to see Ye Ling's worried gaze, and this warmed her heart.

That's right.

There was no need for her to pay heed to those bastards, what she just needed to do in this life was to protect those who loved and cared for her.

"Father, I'll change my clothes, you should head over first." Ye Qingtang smiled faintly.

……

In the main hall of the Ye household, a handsome man with a tall and large physique was seated on a chair. Sitting next to him was a girl with a pretty face and a dainty figure.

"Duan-lang1, regarding today's matters…." The girl furrowed her brows and pursed her lips slightly while expressing her worry.

Having seen the girl put on such a lovable and pitiable face, Duan Tianrao could not resist and reached out to hold her fair and delicate hands.

"Xun-er2, I'll take care of everything, you don't have to worry." Duan Tianrao reassured her in a gentle tone.

The girl, Ye Xun was an orphan who was picked up from the streets by Ye Ling while she was still a baby. Since then she was raised in the Ye household and after sixteen years, despite being an adopted daughter, she was prim and proper just like the other ladies of the Ye household. Moreover, though not related by blood, Ye Xun was not in any way inferior to the other ladies in terms of appearances.

In fact, it was her beauty that caught the attention of Duan Tianrao.

Drooping her eyes full of melancholy, Ye Xun remained troubled.

"The Ye household had taken care of me since I was young, I'm afraid this matter might…"

Witnessing Ye Xun in distress deepened Duan Tianrao's sympathy and affection towards her. He grasped her hands firmly and said: "Xun-er2, I understand that you are adopted and the Ye household are your benefactors, but this matter has nothing to do with that. If there's any problem, I will handle it, you just need to relax."

Ye Xun nodded meekly, looking at Duan Tianrao pampering her, she could not help but to flash a smile across her face.

At this moment, Ye Ling stepped into the hall. Duan Tianrao and Ye Xun hastily withdrew their hands from each other and in the next instant, Duan Tianrao got up from his seat to pay homage to Ye Ling's arrival.

"Duan Tianrao hereby sends his regards to Uncle Ye."

Ye Xun followed suit: "Xun-er2 sends her greetings, father."

Ye Ling gave a slight nod and looked at Duan Tianrao in return.

Ye Qingtang was Ye Ling's only daughter. She was not only timid in nature, her inferiority complex due to the blemish on her face was also one of the reasons why he hoped to find her a capable husband who could be her sanctuary. This had always been Ye Ling's wish.

There are three major households in the city of Lin, aside from theirs, the Duan and Si households are also top families of aristocrats. Their engagement with the Duan household was established on the basis of the following reasons, one being that they are families of equal standing, and the other being Duan Tianrao's pampering towards Ye Qingtang. Once she married Duan Tianrao, he can be at ease.

"Tianrao, Tang Tang's still changing, she will be with us in a while." Ye Ling said with a smile.

An odd glimpse could be seen from Duan Tianrao's eyes, and though his expression remained composed, he secretly exchanged a glance with Ye Xun beside him. In turn, he put on a smile and said: "There’s no rush." With that being said, he nodded to his attendant standing at a side, who immediately placed a bunch of brocade boxes onto the table next to Ye Ling.

"I've heard Tang Tang's spirit root shattering and damaging her vitality, thus I've prepared these tonics for her. One of them is a blended Vital Essence which is ideal for injuries, I hope this will help Tang Tang to recover some of her vitality." Duan Tianrao spoke in a courteous and refined manner.

Ye Ling was pleased by his gesture, "This Vital Essence is quite rare, I've actually intended to find some for Tang Tang as well, but your thoughtfulness is unexpected. I'm glad to see that Tang Tang has found true love."

"It's my obligation." Duan Tianrao replied modestly.
