Chapter 483 - 481: Please Invite Two Imperial Physicians to Have a Look
However, when Ye Hongyang arrived at Madam Yin’s courtyard, things were not as simple as he had thought.
A year ago, after Ye Hongyang failed to take over Madam Yin’s Pastry House by selling the yogurt pastry recipe on behalf of Maternal Aunt Liu, this was his first time back to Madam Yin’s courtyard. Yet he, as her husband in the full sense, couldn’t even step foot through the gate of Morning Moon Courtyard; he was rudely barred from entering by two coarse old woman servants just as he approached the gate.
After a moment of shock, Ye Hongyang immediately flew into a rage. This was Duke An’s Mansion, his home; Madam Yin was the Madam of Ye Family, and yet he, the heir of Duke An, couldn’t even enter his own lawful wife’s quarters. If word of this got out, wouldn’t he, Ye Hongyang, become the laughingstock of all the men in the capital?
However, no matter how Ye Hongyang stamped his feet in fury outside, shouting and cursing loudly, he failed to attract the attention of anyone inside Morning Moon Courtyard. Peering through the half-open doorway, he saw that the maids and old woman servants inside were unperturbed by his presence and continued with their chores as if the Princely Heir did not exist at all outside the gate.
The only ones paying attention to him were the two strong, powerful old woman servants in front of him. They stared at him with cold countenances, not allowing him one step closer to Morning Moon Courtyard.
It was actually the maids and old woman servants passing by Morning Moon Courtyard who took notice of the Crown Prince. Upon seeing such a Princely Heir, they quickly hastened their steps to flee from this troublesome place, afraid of provoking his ire.
After questioning Madam Yin to no avail, Ye Hongyang glared and stood in place for a while, ultimately unable to muster the courage to trouble Ye Xinyan. Compared to his disaster of a daughter, his father, though stern, was still somewhat easier to talk to.
Ye Hongyang decided to seek his father’s help to put a stop to this matter. After all, it should be his father who stepped in; the only daughter-in-law of Duke An’s Mansion was about to leave with her divorced daughter to a far-off land. As the head of the family, it wouldn’t look good on him either.
