The next day, Ye Jiayao brought Deng Haichuan to Yu Wang's residence.
She did not expect Yu Wang to be in and even sought her attendance.
She didn't know Yu Wang very well and including his back view, she has only seen him a total of three times. Her impression of Yu Wang comes mostly from the very few things Chunyu mentioned.
This person does not show his feelings on his face but is very decisive and harsh. He certainly is competent. Otherwise, he would not have won the support of so many people within such a short time.
Nobody knows how much ambition he is hiding under that calm exterior and Ye Jiayao doesn't want to guess and probe as it is not something that she can decide and take control of either. The only thing she is concerned about not is, Yu Wang has been studying her with those dark and gloomy eyes for almost three minutes, looking at her like that silently.
*Story of the grape trellis in the backyard falling:
There was once an official who was afraid of his wife. Once, he angered his wife and his face go scratched by her. The next day, in the government office, his sorry state was noticed by his superior and his superior asked: "What happened to your face?"
He lied saying "Last night when I was enjoying the breeze in the backyard, the grape trellis fell and cut my face."
His superior replies in disbelief "It must have been scratched by your wife, this kind of woman is the most unpardonable in the world, send someone to arrest her!"
At this moment, the superior's wife, who was eavesdropping at the inner hall, rushed out in fury upon hearing his words. Seeing that the situation is about to turn ugly, he told the official "Retreat for a while, the grape trellis in my backyard is about to fall!"
the story of the grape trellis in the backyard falling basically refers to a fight with the wife and I suppose Ye Jiayao is using this story to warn Yu Wang to not go too far, otherwise, he might end up with the grape trellis in his backyard falling.
