“Hongxuan, let’s strengthen Wanwan’s discipline in the future!”
After a long pause, Lian Mengzhu finally spoke, “It’s alright. Wanwan is still young, and her personality can still be molded.”
“Mm.” Ye Hongxuan nodded. “That’s the only way. On the bright side, it’s good
that we’ve identified the issues in Wanwan’s character now. There’s still time to correct it.”
“We’ll discipline her strictly in the future,” Lian Mengzhu agreed. “Oh right, the fiancée of the Huangfu family’s head, the girl who won the Shennong Cauldron, is she related to the Ye family? She shares the surname Ye, and she’s also an alchemist. Does she really have no connection to the Ye family?”
“Our family doesn’t have such a person.” Ye Hongxuan shook his head. “It’s just that I don’t know if any of the disciples have left any loose ends outside.”
“Do you need to investigate?” Lian Mengzhu asked. “If she really is a member of the Ye family, shouldn’t we let her return to the clan? Besides, didn’t you mention it earlier? The Shennong Cauldron has already been won by Ye An’an. If she returns to the Ye family, the Shennong Cauldron will be considered part of the Ye family.”
After hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words, Ye Hongxuan was tempted. However, after some thought, he shook his head. “If Ye An’an is just an individual, we can investigate. However, she’s Huangfu Lings fiancée, If we investigate, it will surely alert Huangfu Ling. Moreover, even if she’s truly a lost member of the Ye family, she’s now Huangfu Lings fiancée and will become the matriarch of the Huangfu family in the future. She might not be willing to return to the Ye family.”
“But…” Lian Mengzhu wanted to say something but was interrupted.
“l know what you want to say.” Ye Hongxuan shook his head. “This Ye An’an is not an ordinary person. Not only is she Huangfu Lings fiancée, but she’s also the one who injured Ye Min t er today. Although I don’t know how skilled she is in alchemy, judging from Ye Min’er’s injuries, she isn’t a simple person. So, she won’t let us manipulate her.”
Lian Mengzhu opened her mouth but couldn’t find words to persuade him. She could only sigh and shake her head. “l didn’t expect a young girl to be so powerful. If Wanwan had half of her temperament, we could be more at ease.”
Although she had never met Ye Aryan, she understood from her husband’s description that she was not a simple girl. Despite being roughly the same age, the other party was much more outstanding than Wanwan.
“How could she be an ordinary person if she can become Huangfu Lings fiancée?” Ye Hongxuan smiled and said, “Alright, don’t think too much. Everyone has their own destiny. Although Wanwan’s personality needs correction, her strength is already considered outstanding among her peers.” Lian Mengzhu nodded and didn’t say anything else.
The next day, almost everyone in the Ye family knew that Ye Wanwan had purchased the Seven Star Flower that the family already possessed at an astronomical price of 1.2 billion at the auction.
For this reason, the elders expressed their dissatisfaction with the matter. Even the former family head, Ye Ruiyuan, had inquired about it. In the end, although Ye Hongxuan explained and was willing to take responsibility, Ye Wanwan still could not escape punishment.
However, the punishment was not severe. It was only to temper her character. She was grounded in her own courtyard for a week and had to copy the Ye family rules a hundred times.
This kind of punishment might be considered minor to others. However, it was significant to Ye Wanwan because, since birth, she had always been the pride of the heavens, the cherished jewel in her parents’ hands. Even without mentioning her identity, her strength was still outstanding among her peers. Therefore, she was usually respected.
But now, she was being punished. The stark contrast was hard for her to accept. She even felt that the disciples who usually respected her were now looking at her with mockery.
She secluded herself in her courtyard, her hatred for Ye An’an burning to the bone. In her eyes, everything she was enduring now was all because of Ye An’an. If it hadn’t been for Ye An’an’s provocation, she wouldn’t have impulsively bid 1.2 billion for the Seven Star Flower, and she wouldn’t have been facing family punishment..
