"Pfft... What?! Your son has been in a brothel these three days? Hey, he's only five years old, and he's developing too fast," said by the emperor. When the emperor learned of this matter, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Even the emperor couldn't help but laugh. Now the entire imperial capital, even the whole empire, is talking about the brilliant achievements of the Thirteenth Young Master. Going to the brothel at the age of five is absolutely unheard of.
After that incident, the Thirteenth Young Master had a little girl by his side, the little tiger girl he bought. Originally, Long Anqi also wanted to find a maid of similar age to the Thirteenth Young Master, someone who could take care of him and play with him.
The little tiger girl seemed to understand the reasoning behind this. She knew that she could avoid humiliation all thanks to this slightly foolish Thirteenth Young Master. Although she knew that the Thirteenth Young Master didn't genuinely help her, in fact, he did save her from the fire pit.
As a member of the Tiger Clan, it is their tradition to repay kindness. Even if it's just a little favor, they will return it, and of course, if someone wrongs them, they will surely seek vengeance.
Therefore, although the little tiger girl liked taking care of the Thirteenth Young Master later on, she had no good feelings toward other humans, after all, it was the humans who captured her.
From then on, the Ye family had a new little tiger girl maid, and the Thirteenth Young Master had a playmate who grew up with him.
Many years later, Long Anqi always boasted about how wise her decision was.
However, the Thirteenth Young Master disagreed at the time. He said he wanted to send the little tiger girl back, as that was the only way to truly squander his wealth. Long Anqi gave him a disdainful look and snapped her fingers.
It's not that Long Anqi couldn't bear the fifty thousand gold coins, which was insignificant to her. Moreover, it was the Thirteenth Young Master's pocket money. She just felt that the little tiger girl might be heaven's arrangement to accompany her son.
The Thirteenth Young Master didn't object either. He never had any opinions to begin with and was clueless about everything. Having a new playmate to spend time with made him happy.
Oh, I almost forgot to introduce the name of the little tiger girl. Her name is Taiya, but she didn't mention her family clan, nor did anyone delve into it.
In fact, even if she had mentioned her name, it wouldn't have made a difference to the Thirteenth Young Master because he only had one way of addressing Taiya—Tiger Girl.
Another thing, Taiya is about a year older than the Thirteenth Young Master. Although she had a petite figure, she looked almost the same age as the Thirteenth Young Master. It is estimated that when she grows up, she will be much smaller than the Thirteenth Young Master.
Don't think that all members of the Tiger Clan are burly and robust; there is a small portion of petite women in the Tiger Clan, albeit very rare, and Taiya happens to be one of them.
"Sister, is the Brothel of Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon really that fun? Let's go together in the future," Blue Rain said excitedly, quietly speaking to the Thirteenth Young Master.
"Yeah, it's fun, but we can't go. Mom said no," the Thirteenth Young Master nodded, then shook his head.
"We can go quietly, just don't let mom know," Blue Rain whispered.
"?? Can we? Let me ask my mom," the Thirteenth Young Master ran to ask Long Anqi with a puzzled expression, and seeing this, Blue Rain found it impossible to stop him and decided to run off immediately.
"Yelou, stop right there!!" Long Anqi's roar echoed throughout the place.
"Mom, I was just joking. Ye Lang, you scoundrel, I won't take you to play next time."
In the following months, the Thirteenth Young Master continued to indulgence himself once in a while, but always asking Long Anqi for some pocket money in advance. Long Anqi never agrees but always ends up giving him some money.
Originally, the Thirteenth Young Master was forbidden to go out, but later, Long Anqi decided to let him go out and stopped prohibiting him. This decision was not a change of heart on her part but rather out of necessity.
After the first disappearance, although the Thirteenth Young Master was strictly prohibited from going out, and the entire Ye household was on alert to prevent it from happening again, the fact remained that the Thirteenth Young Master continued to play the game of sudden disappearances, even when everyone knew he was about to disappear. He used some very interesting methods to go out.
These methods were overlooked by normal people. Maybe only from his perspective could these methods be thought of. After he told Long Anqi, she could only gape in astonishment. Later, Long Anqi was no longer surprised, just puzzled. How could he have so many ways, even a person with extraordinary wisdom would find it challenging to plan so much. How could a child with intellectual deficiencies come up with so much?
This not only made Long Anqi feel puzzled but the entire Ye household. They even suspected that the Thirteenth Young Master was pretending to be foolish. However, that was not possible. He had been like this since he was a child. If he was pretending, would he have started doing so from such a young age? Was it necessary?
Additionally, some things cannot be faked. While it might work for a while, even with unsurpassed acting skills and extraordinary cunning, there would inevitably be loopholes, and even his parents would eventually notice.
The only explanation is that the Thirteenth Young Master has intellectual disabilities in some areas, but in others, he exceeds ordinary people. If he could grow up like a normal person, he would become a true legend, as it was said in the old legends.
This matter made the Ye household's guards greatly distressed. They had to endure being reprimanded every now and then.
However, it also made them into a group of elites and caused their vigilance to reach an unprecedented level. As a result, in the future, the Ye household’s defensive capability surpassed everyone's expectations; even the royal palace would be at a disadvantage.
There was once a spy, a legendary spy who freely moved between various countries. He was never discovered, not even when he entered the palaces of the three great empires. He could be said to be a myth in the world of spies.
But he eventually fell into the hands of the Ye household. While conducting espionage in the Ye estate, he was caught by a guard, and even then, he thought that this guard must be an elite among elites, or else how could he have caught him, only to find out that the guard was just an ordinary one of the Ye household.
What was even more frustrating was that when he asked the guard how he found out about him, the guard's response was, "Our Thirteenth Young Master used this trick when he was young, you're still too new at this."
