Ye Qingya came alone; she did not inform Elder Qiao of this news. This decision was made after consulting her father, Ye Changyuan, who believed that the Qiao family's matters should be handled by them. His daughter now needed to fulfill her duty as a wife and visit Dongzhou immediately.
Ye Changyuan was in the Capital City, and he did not choose to accompany his daughter to Dongzhou. He had something that needed discussing with his father first.
Elder Ye was practicing Wuqinxi in the courtyard. Since recovering from his illness, his health had been getting better, thanks to the breathing techniques taught by Xu Chunliang.
Seeing his son return at this hour, Elder Ye was a bit curious, but his movements didn't pause. He calmly asked, "Back so early?"
"There's something I want to discuss with you."
Elder Ye stopped, knowing that if his son said that, it wasn't a small matter, so the pair went to the study.
