Dusk was falling when Ye Heng finally returned to the Ye Mansion.
His recent days at the Ministry of Justice had not been easy. Su Wei found fault with his every move and had been constantly sidelining him.
His subordinates didn't dare offend Su Wei, so they naturally kept their distance from Ye Heng as well.
Only in the past two days, with Su Wei and the others busy investigating the polo match, had they not had much time to bother with Ye Heng. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, just as he stepped through the door, Ye Shixian hurried over to greet him, a nervous look on her face.
"Father, you're finally back."
Seeing her expression wasn't quite right, Ye Heng frowned. "What's wrong? Is your mother making a scene again, or is your brother—"
"It's neither." Ye Shixian shook her head, though she seemed to find it hard to say. "It's... it's about Han Yao and our cousin. Something's happened."
