My Princess Holds Superpowers

"Alright, alright, Fourth Brother, you hurry up and eat. Your mother has been in a bad mood these past few days; don't take it to heart," Ye LaoHan said helplessly while persuading from the side.

Luckily, Qingyue felt severe morning sickness today, so she settled for eating in the small courtyard. Otherwise, seeing He Shi bossing Ye Gaosheng around, and she's supposed to be a wife after all, it's uncertain what she would think.

The old couple themselves weren't afraid of their son and daughter-in-law being unfilial; after all, filial piety was there as a daunting presence, and no one dared cross it.

However, even after a woman gets married, she needs her family's support to establish a strong position in her husband's home. Therefore, Ye LaoHan was also considering Ye Jiu's future.

Ye LaoHan forcefully made He Shi sit down and whispered in her ear, "Fourth Brother is now grown up and will soon be a father in a few months. Outside, he is a respected figure. Usually, you should give him some face. Being seen like this, where can he put his face?"

He Shi knew her temper was strange and did not say a word after being scolded by Ye LaoHan.

After finishing their meal with complex feelings, He Shi said to Ye Gaosheng, "Fourth Brother, your mother hasn't been in the best of moods these past two days. I wasn't really angry at you just now. I'm just worried that your little sister, being a girl out there, might encounter some trouble, and it's my fault. Don't take it to heart."

Ye Gaosheng was immediately touched.

Mom, over these years, he had unjustly endured quite a few beatings. Past incidents had been much more severe than this, and this was the first time his mother had offered him an explanation.

Ye Gaosheng subconsciously looked up at the sky outside; it was pitch-dark, studded with stars, with no sign of turning red.

Then, Ye Gaosheng turned back with relief, smiling foolishly, "No problem, I'm tough-skinned and hard-muscled; I can take a few hits, and as long as Mom calms down, that's fine. Besides, Mom hasn't really hit me yet."

The chicken leg had just fallen into the bowl; at most, a few drops of oil spattered on him.

"It's getting dark. Mom thinks it looks cloudy, like it might rain, so you should quickly send someone to look for your little sister. It's not safe for a girl to be out there," He Shi added.

Ye Gaosheng: "..."

So, she lowers her head this time just because she's afraid he'll get angry and not go look for Xiaojiu?

Ye Gaosheng looked at the sky outside again; the moon hung high, and the stars were bright. Anyway, he could not see any sign that it was going to rain.

However, it was indeed true that it was not safe for Xiaojiu, a girl, to be outside so late at night.

"Don't worry, Father and Mother. Since Xiaojiu took the carriage, she must have gone out with others. I'll go check it out right away," Ye Gaosheng said.

After Ye Gaosheng left, Ye LaoHan began to scold He Shi, "You should really work on that temper of yours. It's only because Fourth Brother is such an honest and simple child who doesn't begrudge. If it were the eldest or the second, who knows what they would think!"

Although He Shi did not respond, she knew her own faults.

Having been suppressed too harshly in the past, she became exceptionally irritable after taking charge of the household. After so many years, it was not easy to change back.

However, Fourth Brother had the blessing of the simple-minded. If he were as calculating as the eldest and the second, Xiaojiu wouldn't be as close to him.

After he went out, Ye Gaosheng asked around and found out that the servant who had gone out with Ye Jiu today hadn't returned either.

Ye Gaosheng went back to his room and inevitably discussed the matter with Qingyue.

As a result, Qingyue said, "Xiaojiu might have gone to see Prince Jing outside. Since Father and Mother are worried, why not have someone go to the post station to check, right?
