Chapter: 5691
Sun Zhi Dong let out a soft sigh and nodded slightly before suddenly remembering something, opening his mouth to say, "Hey, didn't Leaf Qi get married?"
Qiu Ying Shan whispered, "What's there to be afraid of? Miss Lin is from the Ming dynasty. Back then, men had three wives and four concubines, which was quite normal. She shouldn't care."
Sun Zhi Dong spoke out of instinct, saying, "Then our Miss Lin will have a great future, or else I'll be the first one not to consent! How could we let our Miss Lin suffer such an injustice!"
Qiu Ying Shan agreed, saying, "Old Sun said it right! I'm thinking the same thing too!"
After finishing his sentence, he poked Old Zhang with his elbow and asked him, "What do you think, Old Zhang?"
Old Zhang was taken aback, suddenly remembering something, and quickly said, "I'm just talking nonsense. I was so busy gossiping that I almost forgot about important matters! Old Qiu, go arrange it quickly and make sure all the maids are not allowed to leave their rooms. Miss Lin will personally escort Leaf Qi back home, and we don't want the maids to be influenced by it."
Qiu Ying Shan hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll get right on it!"
Old Zhang nodded and said, "Then I'll prepare a carriage for Miss Lin."
A few minutes later, all the servants at Purple Gold Mountain Villa returned to their own rooms.
Old Zhang, being meticulous, even temporarily suspended the entire villa's surveillance system, since it concerned the reputation of Miss Lin, and naturally couldn't leave any potential risks behind.
After everything was settled, Old Zhang gave Lin Wan'er a call to brief her, and soon Lin Wan'er told Ye Chen, "Prince, Old Zhang has everything ready. Shall we go down?""
Ye Chen nodded politely, saying, "Thank you, Miss Lin."
Lin Wan'er smiled sweetly, saying, "You don't have to be polite with me, Prince."
Ye Chen put away the artwork he was carrying and walked out of the top-floor annex with Lin Wan'er.
As they reached the entrance, they saw a long stone staircase stretching down below, where three elderly gentlemen were standing shoulder to shoulder in reverence.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chen found that among them was someone he had often seen on TV, namely Sun Zhongtang from the capital.
Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er walked down the stone staircase together, where three elderly gentlemen were respectfully addressing Lin Wan'er, saying "Miss, hello." Then they looked at Ye Chen, equally respectful, and said "Mr. Ye, hello!"
For a moment, Ye Chen felt a bit out of place, given that these three men combined must be nearly 300 years old, and they were being so courteous to him, a young man of 28. It was indeed a feeling of incongruity.
So Ye Chen also respectfully said "Three elderly gentlemen, hello."
Sun Zhongtang looked at Ye Chen and exclaimed: "Mr. Ye truly resembles your father in appearance, just like that old saying goes - 'a tiger's cubs do not become wolves'!"
Ye Chen bowed and said: "Uncle Sun, I used to follow my father to visit you when I was a child. Do you still remember?"
Sun Zhongtang nodded and said: "I do remember, of course. Your parents brought you to my house for a meal, and I recall the atmosphere back then. Who would have thought that so many years would pass?"
As he spoke, Sun Zhongtang couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Ye's father was indeed an extraordinary talent in his time. When we chatted about global economic development and changes in world trends, his far-sightedness and precise grasp of the situation were truly impressive, a rare sight in my lifetime, alas, fate is unfair to talents!"
Ye Chen felt the same sense of nostalgia.
He had heard adults talking about Sun Zhongtang before, when his father was planning to return home and implement many plans. Sun Zhongtang had always wanted to collaborate deeply with him on a macro level, but unfortunately, his father suddenly developed an irreconcilable dispute with Ye Chen's family and left for Jinling.
