Master Head of the Dragon Soul
Chapter 737 The Ye Family of Xi Ye

Mr. Zhong sighed with a mix of emotions. "Ever since Madam left, this courtyard has remained unchanged."

"The Prince himself planted this peach tree the year Madam passed away. It has been seventeen years now. Every night, he would come here silently, watering the tree and talking to it, as if Madam were still alive."

Chu Feng coldly remarked, "They're all deceased. What's the purpose of these actions?"

Mr. Zhong was left speechless and could only sigh inwardly.

"Oh, by the way, Master Feng, your mother left these land deeds for you."

Mr. Zhong remembered something and handed a well-preserved sandalwood box to Chu Feng. Inside were several yellowed land deeds.

"Xi Ye's properties? How could my mother have Xi Ye's properties?"

Chu Feng's eyes scanned over them, slightly surprised.

Mr. Zhong explained, "These were the dowries your grandmother gave to your mother. It was your grandmother's lifelong savings. Your mother's family was from Xi Ye, but she never had the chance to see it all these years."

Chu Feng's gaze deepened. No wonder he felt such a strong connection to Xi Ye. It turned out to be his mother's hometown as well.

But she had never mentioned these things to him.

Mr. Zhong continued, "Your grandmother and your mother were both kind and gentle women, and they were very capable. Your mother's family, the Ye family, were originally just ordinary villagers, but under her leadership, they developed rapidly. In just over ten years, they had accumulated billions of dollars of wealth, which is quite remarkable."

"Unfortunately, fate was unkind. Your grandmother passed away three years ago due to cancer. She worked hard her whole life but didn't get to enjoy it."

Chu Feng's eyes were filled with regret and sorrow. He had originally planned to visit the elderly and show filial piety towards them, but he never had the opportunity.

Truly, good people don't live long!

"These land deeds, totaling over a hundred acres, are all located in the Xi Ye Industrial Zone. They are now worth billions. Your grandmother only spent over twenty million to buy them back then, which shows how visionary she was."

Mr. Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now, handing these land deeds to you can be considered returning them to their rightful owner."

"This time, when you go to Xi Ye, you should also visit the Ye family. After all, you have a few uncles and a grandfather there. They can be considered your relatives."

Chu Feng nodded but sneered inwardly, not taking it seriously.

Family?

If they truly considered themselves family, why did they never care about him and his mother, even now that he had just discovered their existence?

However, he still had to go to the Ye family.

On one hand, it was to fulfill his mother's wish and let her see her former home.

On the other hand, he wanted to pay respects at his grandmother's grave and thank her for taking care of his mother.

As for the rest of the Ye family...

If they cherished this blood relationship and had good character, then he might as well give them a chance, allowing the Ye family to prosper and have future generations.

But if they were a group of cunning and despicable people, then he wouldn't even bother to associate with them and let them live or die on their own!

Having contemplated these matters, Chu Feng carefully packed the land deeds and bid farewell, saying, "Mr. Zhong, I need to go to the military department to deploy troops and prepare for the expedition tomorrow. Duo Duo and Muqing, I'll trouble you to take care of them."

He saluted with a standard military salute, showing extra respect.
