Chapter: 1667

Ye Chen furrowed his brow: "Our family has been in Yanjing for several hundred years, with countless ancestors buried in the tomb. So massive an operation would require us to move everything over here?"

Gu Yanzhong nodded slightly and said: "I've heard rumors from around that your grandfather unexpectedly fell ill four years ago, but no one could find any problem. He went to various famous mountains and saw many high-ranking officials, only to have them all leave after seeing him without saying a word."

"What happened then?" Ye Chen asked.

"Your grandfather got frantic and personally went to the United States three times before finally finding an old Chinese feng shui master who was over 100 years old," Gu Yanzhong explained. "After that old man came, he took one look at our ancestral tomb and said that our family's feng shui was stuck in a swampy area and was very difficult to rectify."

"So he pointed out our mistakes and we spent a lot of effort moving the tomb to Leifeng Mountain," Gu Yanzhong added.

As for the matters regarding the Ye family's feng shui and ancestral tomb relocation, Ye Chen didn't take it too seriously.

He didn't really care about the Ye family's affairs or people.

Actually, he only cared about two things regarding the Ye family.

Firstly, where his parents were buried and whether he could go to pay respects;

Secondly, what had happened to his parents - were they indeed harmed by someone in the Ye family?

As for other matters regarding the Ye family, he didn't want to dwell on them at all.

So, after Liu Gongzhong finished introducing the situation at Ye Ling Mountain, Ye Chen asked, "Liu Uncle, can I go pay respects to Ye Ling Mountain?"

Liu Gongzhong said, "Ye Ling Mountain is your family's ancestral tomb and a place of great importance in terms of feng shui. Normally, the Ye family exercises strict control over it, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Even I would need to notify someone from the Ye family ahead of time and schedule an appointment. However, as you're a descendant of the Ye family, just give them a heads-up and you should be able to go directly."

Ye Chen nodded his head slightly and said, "Liu Uncle, I must confess that I don't want to let the Ye family know that I've already been to Yanjing. For now, I'd rather not have too much contact with them."

Liu Gongzhong thought for a moment and then said, "Well, in that case, why don't I call your uncle and tell him I'm going to pay respects to your parents? That way, he can notify the others below, and you can just pretend to go along with me. After all, you look too much like your father for someone from the Ye family to recognize if they see you."

Ye Chen hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Liu Gongzhong: "Thank you, Liu Uncle, for helping me out!"

Liu Gongzhong quickly got up to support Ye Chen, his voice trembling as he said, "Cao er, what are you doing? You're a great benefactor to our family. Why do you need to kowtow to me?"

Ye Chen's expression turned solemn as he said: "Liu Uncle, it's all about my deceased parents. For me, this is not a small matter. It's been 18 years since my parents passed away, and I've never had the chance to visit their tomb. It's indeed a grave offense against them. You're giving me an opportunity to fulfill my filial piety, which means a lot to me. How could I not show respect to you?"

Liu Gongzhong heard this and quickly scolded himself: "Oh dear, I was mistaken! This is indeed no small matter. Don't worry, Uncle will take you there tomorrow!"

Lin Wanqiu, who was standing beside him, said: "I'll go with the little one too. If it's just the two of you going to pay respects to your parents' tomb, the Ye family might become suspicious. After all, they're well aware of our situation and your absence from the Ye family apart from you."

"Ah, no need to worry about that," said Guanyingzhong. "Let Shichen come and pretend to be my driver."

Lin Wanqiu nodded slightly but still insisted: "And why not? My mom and I also haven't visited Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye in half a year. We should all go together."

"That's right!" exclaimed Gu Autumn: "Dad, let me and Mom go with you too!"

Guanyingzhong nodded and said: "Alright then, we'll all go tomorrow."

After that, he thought for a moment and added: "So, I'll take Shichen to the group meeting in the morning as the chairman, and you two can just stay at home waiting. After we finish our meeting, we'll come pick you up and head over together." JrNovels.com
