Chapter 345: Guarding the Gate

When Ye Jingyan heard the first half of the sentence, a hint of coldness flashed across his handsome and gentle face, which quickly disappeared. However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he took a moment to react: "Where does Sister want me to go?"

Ye Chutang explained succinctly: "She said that I forced Second Aunt to hang herself, and my crime was grave, so I would like to ask the people of Shuntian Prefecture to investigate thoroughly."

It was extremely strange to hear these words coming out of her mouth.

Especially Ye Shixian, she knew very well that if she didn't respond, today's matter would definitely be bad!

So, before Ye Jingyan could say anything, she suddenly said, "Why bother? Shaoyao! Go right away!"

Shaoyao's heart trembled: "Miss..."

But seeing Ye Shixian's determined expression, she didn't ask any more questions. She just responded softly and went towards the government office of Shuntian Prefecture.

Ye Jingyan frowned, but didn't think there was anything wrong with what his elder sister said or did.

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes lingering for a moment on the bloodstained silk in Ye Shixian's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Since Second Aunt even wrote a blood letter, we must investigate it thoroughly."

Everyone finally realized that not only Ye Chutang was not easy to deal with, but her seemingly handsome and introverted brother was not a good person either!

Ye Shixian's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously wanted to hide the blood letter. However, as soon as she moved her wrist, she felt the countless eyes cast on her and she managed to hold it back.

She pursed her lips.

What to worry about!

This blood letter was indeed written in her mother's blood! Even if the government officials came to investigate, there would only be this one conclusion!

Ye Chutang glanced behind Ye Jingyan: "Where's Afeng? Didn't he come back with you?"

Ye Jingyan paused and said, "After school, he went to ask the Dean for advice, so he was delayed for a while. But before I came, I asked Qiao Zimo to inform him."

So that's how it is. It should be so.

That boy actually couldn't hold back and went to find Feng Zhang today, earlier than she thought.

A newborn calf is really not afraid of a tiger.

Ye Chutang thought of the eldest princess’ words before, and silently prayed for Ye Yunfeng in his heart for three seconds.

"Okay, let's go."

Ye Jingyan raised his eyes.

The next moment, Ye Chutang got back on the carriage and told the coachman:

"go--"

She paused and asked Ye Shixian, "Where do you live now?"

Ye Shixian was stunned for a moment, and after she reacted, she felt a huge sense of humiliation in her heart!

——Ye Chutang actually wanted to go to her place! ?

Ye Chutang seemed a little surprised by her reaction: "Second Aunt's matter has not been investigated yet, so we naturally can't just go home like this, otherwise, can you rest assured?"

Ye Shixian had no idea what to say.

Before she came, she had made sufficient preparations, which could be said to be flawless. She was determined to take advantage of this opportunity to trample Ye Chutang into the quagmire and prevent him from getting out of it!

But for some reason, things gradually got out of her control and everything started to become strange.

However, she was now in a dilemma, how could she say "no"?

After holding it in for a long time, Ye Shixian finally gnashed out, "Of course I won't let you go easily! But I will never allow you to step into my mother's house! You don't deserve it!"

Ye Chutang didn't argue with her and just nodded in agreement.

"Don't mention that she is my second aunt and a relative of mine. Even if she were an ordinary person who had lived with me under the same roof, I would have gone to see her off. How could I bear to see her go on the road alone?"

Ye Shixian suddenly stumbled for some reason.

Severe pain came from her ankle, but she seemed not to feel the pain. She stared blankly at the ground, then looked at the blood letter in her hand.

Her hands began to tremble slightly unconsciously.

Ye Chutang's eyes passed over her lightly, as if he didn't notice her abnormality.

"Let's go."

…

Ye Shixian naturally refused to ride in the same carriage with them. She insisted on walking back, and the carriage slowly followed her.

Inside the carriage, Ye Chutang leaned back with his eyes slightly closed.

People who don’t know her would think she was just traveling leisurely.

However, Ye Jingyan was very clear that there was a tough battle ahead.

Before coming, he already had some guesses in his mind, and after meeting Ajie, he became even more certain that his idea was correct.

——I’m afraid Gao’s death is related to Ye Shixian!

But this was too chilling and horrifying to say, so he didn't say much.

Sister obviously has her own plans.

Xiaowu snuggled up to him, looking a little listless.

Thinking of what Ye Chutang had just said about her being frightened, Ye Jingyan suppressed the anger surging in his heart and carefully took Xiaowu into his arms, letting her lean more comfortably.

"Are you hungry, Xiaowu?"

Xiaowu shook his head.

Ye Jingyan's eyes turned even colder. Xiaowu had gotten much better before and was no longer afraid of riding in a carriage, but today -

After a long time, the carriage finally stopped.

Ye Jingyan lifted the curtain: "Sister, we are here."

He was about to carry Xiaowu down, but suddenly stopped.

Ye Chutang slowly opened his eyes: "What's wrong?"

Ye Jingyan didn't know what to say for a moment, he just turned sideways with a subtle expression.

Ye Chutang finally saw the scene outside and was stunned for a moment.

"A Feng?!"

…

Ye Shixian had been walking for a long time and was already exhausted both physically and mentally.

I finally saw the familiar streets and thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but the moment I saw the young man sitting in front of the gate, I was shocked!

She couldn't help but close her eyes, rubbed them hard, and opened them again, only to find that the man had not disappeared!

"Ye Yunfeng!?"

Ye Shixian never dreamed that this person! At this moment! Would appear in this place!

Ye Yunfeng brought a chair from somewhere and sat in the middle of the gate with his arms and legs spread out. Two gatekeepers stood timidly behind him, with suspicious purple marks on their faces.

Even a fool can see what happened here!

Ye Shixian was almost mad with anger - Ye Yunfeng was so bold as to come to her doorstep to bully her!

Hearing this, Ye Yunfeng looked over and met Ye Shixian's wonderful expression, with his eyebrows slightly raised.

Ye Shixian stepped forward quickly, her voice sharp: "Why are you here? What are you doing!?"

Ye Yunfeng then stood up, looking innocent: "Of course I am helping you, cousin!"

He raised his hand and pointed towards the door behind.

"As soon as I heard that Second Aunt was in trouble, I rushed here immediately. After Second Uncle was exiled, I knew that many people in the capital were secretly trying to trip you up. If they knew this news, I'm afraid they would add insult to injury. Who knows what terrible things they will do? So I came here——"

"I am here to guard this gate. Anyone who wants to play tricks on others will not be allowed to enter or leave this gate at will!"

Ye Yunfeng smiled, revealing a small canine tooth, with utmost sincerity.

"So, is this feasible?"
