"Oh heavens!" Ye Rongqing hurriedly waved his hand after hearing, "I havenât interacted with anyone; I read about it in a book. Big brother, I know my boundaries. That book was just something I casually bought off the street; after I read it, second brother burned it."
Hearing this, Ye Haoxuan felt somewhat relieved, but still admonished, "You mustnât read these kinds of miscellaneous books again."
"I got it," Ye Rongqing muttered, "Youâre so young, yet you nag like an old woman."
When Ye Haoxuanâs sharp gaze swept over, he immediately shrank his head.
"How does brother plan to handle this matter?" Ye Haoyang asked at this moment.
"Naturally, weâll find out whoâs behind this and give them a taste of their own medicine," Ye Haoxuan thought, just in time to use this opportunity to expose these people.
"Father wants us to leave tomorrow. Iâm going to Yunâan, what about you guys?"
"Big brother, Iâll follow you," Ye Rongqing stepped forward eagerly upon hearing, "Second brother needs to return to Shandong first then goes to the Capital City. He wonât go to the military camp immediately after arriving in the Capital City. If second brother doesnât go to the military camp, he canât take me there. Iâll be really bored with nothing to do all day."
Glancing at his younger brother, Ye Haoxuan frowned, "Youâd better follow your second brother."
This brat gets more troublesome as he grows up. Letting him tag along would likely make my path to finding a wife even harder.
But this kid is not easy to dismiss. Thinking about it, I need to travel alone and not with them.
So, early the next morning, Ye Haoxuan took his horse and sneaked away.
However, when he reached the outskirts of Quanya County and got on the main road, his face twisted.
"Hehe, big brother, I knew youâd sneak off," Ye Rongqing laughed on horseback, "Second brother and I have been waiting here for over an hour."
Ye Haoyang also nodded, "Big brother, ditching us to sneak away isnât good; itâs so unbrotherly!"
Ye Haoxuan rolled his eyes at him irritably, "I recall someone sneaking off countless times, and now you have the nerve to criticize me?"
"Er..." Indeed, Ye Haoyangâs face flushed slightly. Back in the day, he often left a letter and disappeared, leaving his brothers and parents at home.
"You left so early. Did you say goodbye to mom and dad?" Ye Haoxuan asked unhappily. He was also pondering how to lose them on the road; they canât follow me to Yunâan.
"Of course, I did. I told them last night," Ye Rongqing said, grinning broadly on horseback, "Big brother, donât think of ditching me. I must meet our future sister-in-law. Also, if you donât let me meet her this time, Iâll go home and tell mom, making her come with me to visit."
That was definitely a threatâif you donât let me meet her, Iâll tell mom.
Ye Haoxuanâs face darkened again. This matter hasnât even been confirmed yet, absolutely cannot be mentioned to mom; otherwise, with her personality, sheâd probably rush to the Li Family to propose marriage.
"Keep your mouth shut, or donât blame me for dumping you in the Western Seas."
"Donât worry, big brother, I keep secrets well, not a word will leak."
"Mm, I wonât be gossipy either," Ye Haoyang nodded too.
"Thatâs more like it."
Settled on that, the three brothers rode off on their horses. The three with different but equally handsome appearances, riding spirited steeds, galloped along, attracting the gaze of countless young ladies and wives on their way. Their aura was such that even in coarse cloth short coats, it could not be concealed.
