step by step

Chapter 126
A cunning flashed across Ye Zhengping's eyes, as if he had guessed what Ye Fuzhi was thinking.

"I know I'm not good." Ye Zhengping was a little annoyed, "I'm a bit of a dead-headed person, I don't know how to take care of a girl, let alone what you want in my heart, I won't do it in the future."

Ye Fugui was stunned, his heart was filled with deep emotion, and he looked at Ye Zhengping unblinkingly with his big eyes.

In her memory, it was the first time she heard Ye Zhengping admit his mistake to her and say these words.

"elder brother."

The words blurted out, and the smile on Ye Fugui's face bloomed like flower petals.

These two words have never dissipated in her memory, but have become more vivid and penetrated into her bone marrow.

Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, Ye Zhengping's eyes shone with astonishment.

Although he is half a month older than Ye Fugui, Ye Fugui has been reluctant to call him brother since he was a child.

On weekdays, he only dared to call her by her name when he was getting along in private. Outside, he would definitely call her "my lady" or "my girl", after all, the gap between them was too great.

He is just an orphan adopted by General Ye.

But what he didn't know was that Ye Fugui never had these quarrels in his heart.

Ye Fugui took the ginseng soup and fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Zhengping sat on the edge of the bed, quietly staring at her who was sleeping soundly, his eyes were soft and warm.

Her face had been carefully wiped and medicated, using the high-quality Yuyan ointment bestowed by the palace, but there were still a few obvious scars.

shocking.

He looked at those marks, his eyes filled with deep distress.

His thoughts went back to the distant past.

Back then, he was taken to flee and his relatives were ruthlessly killed. He escaped by chance and became the humblest beggar on the long street. In the dead of night, sneak to the back door of the inn, grab something from the bucket of water to satisfy your hunger.

Ye Zhengping was only six years old at that time, thin and penniless, barely made it through a year, and it seemed that he would not be able to survive the second winter soon.

It was snowing heavily that day, and he was wearing a tattered cotton padded jacket. He was so hungry that he was about to faint. In order to get some food, he could only squat at the entrance of the alley with his knees hugged, curled up in a ball and shivered.

When he was about to faint, Ye Zhengping saw a luxurious carriage passing by the alley.

It was a dark carriage, inlaid with gold threads, and embroidered with complicated patterns. The phoenix carved on the curtain of the carriage was gorgeous, exquisite and lifelike, as if it would take off in the next second.

Ye Zhengping stared helplessly at a black head protruding from the car window, gesticulating at the driver, who nodded and bowed respectfully, and stopped the car. After a while, a plate of exquisite dim sum was served It was placed on the steps of the carriage, just in front of him not far away.

After Ye Zhengping saw the dim sum, he couldn't help swallowing, and timidly did not go forward to take it away. He had never seen such a precious dim sum.

"Miss rewarded you, take it away!" Seeing that he didn't move for a while, the coachman sent the plate to his feet.

Ye Zhengping bit his lip and hesitated for a while, then stretched out his hands, tremblingly reaching out to take the plate from the driver's hand.

Seeing the tempting snacks on the plate, he swallowed his saliva, then gritted his teeth, sat on the ground with the plate in his arms, and devoured the snacks.

Seeing Ye Zhengping's faceless eating, the coachman shook his head and pulled back the curtain.

Ye Zhengping had just swallowed a mouthful of snacks when a sharp pain came from his back. Someone punched him roughly in the back of his chest. The pain caused a fine layer of cold sweat to break out from his whole body.

"Little beast! Bring the things!"

A rough voice sounded in Ye Zhengping's ear, so frightened that he almost dropped the plate in his hand.

Two half-grown beggars were grabbing him by the back of the collar, staring at him viciously with wide-eyed bull eyes.

The person who robbed him came again!
Ye Zhengping was startled, and subconsciously backed away, but his feet were cold gravel, he staggered, his body lost balance and fell to the ground, the snacks in his hand fell to the ground and scattered all over the floor.

He quickly crawled to the ground to pick it up, resisting the pain, and stuffed the snack into his mouth fiercely.

Seeing that he was disobedient in handing over the food, a beggar wanted to eat the cakes all by himself. He was enraged and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying.

Ye Fugui, who was chewing snacks in the carriage, was startled when he heard the miserable screams outside, and quietly opened a curtain to look out.

The other beggar looked at the broken pastry, felt distressed, stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, raised his fist, and hit him hard in the stomach, cursing, "You stinky beggar, you deserve it too." Eat something so good!"

Ye Zhengping was lying on the ground, and was hit by an elbow on the ground. Suddenly, a piercing pain spread all over his body, and he couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Ah woo woo woo"

"stop!"

A small fair and beautiful face protruded from the car window.

Ye Fugui's bright eyes were full of resentment, and his small mouth was slightly pursed, like a little milk cat that was being bullied, making him extremely affectionate.

The two beggars turned their heads, and when they saw Ye Fugui, their faces turned green with fright.

In this way, the ladies of high-ranking officials and noble families treat inferior people like ants, and can kill them with just a word.

Seeing the situation, they quickly ran away.

Ye Fugui looked at Ye Zhengping, who was lying on the ground dirty, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, he snorted, then opened the curtain of the car and walked down.

Ye Zhengping's face was pale, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his eyes were closed tightly, his body was slightly arched, and he seemed to be in great pain.

Ye Fugui squatted down, and gently pulled his sleeve, "What's your name? Where do you live?"

Ye Zhengping opened his eyes, his confused pupils gradually became clear, and what came into view was a young and beautiful face.

A girl carved in powder and jade was squatting in front of her.

Her small and exquisite body was tightly wrapped by a thick fox cloak, revealing her slender neck and delicate and beautiful collarbone, and a warm feeling spread from his heart.

Those eyes looking at him were as clear as a pool of autumn water, with a touch of innocence, making it unforgettable at a glance.

For a moment, Ye Zhengping even forgot about the pain, staring blankly at the girl in front of him, reluctant to blink.

she looks so good
"Hey! I'm asking you something!"

Ye Fugui frowned, seeing his dumbfounded appearance, couldn't help pouted his mouth, and let out a fierce growl.

Hearing the girl's fierce voice, Ye Zhengping came back to his senses, quickly lowered his eyes, and whispered, "The little one. The little one is called Ergou"
