Chapter 241 Sun Chu knows Ye Chutang's identity

Pei Zirong looked at Ye Chutang who was leaving and raised his hand to rub his temples.

Unexpectedly, despite all his precautions, he still fell into the hands of a little girl.

It’s ridiculous to think about it.

He looked towards the dark sky and uttered two words.

"God willing!"

After saying this, he returned to the pavilion and helped his mother up from her sitting position.

"Mom, how do you feel? Does your head still hurt?"

Mrs. Pei frowned when she knew that her son was forced to do something he didn't want to do because of his illness.

"Zirong, my mother is already half buried in the ground. You shouldn't let your grandchildren take risks for her."

Although she was unconscious, she was still somewhat conscious and could vaguely hear some words.

But she thought she was dreaming, so she didn't think much about it after waking up.

But the word "winter clothes" reminded her that it was not a dream!

Pei Zirong looked at his mother who was full of self-blame and gave a comforting smile.

"Mother, I agreed to Madam Qi's conditions not only for you, but also for the children."

As protons, they had no worries about food and drink, but no one taught them sincerely.

If this goes on for a long time, it will become useless.

If Ye Chutang could send his child back to Dingzhou, to be with him.

What's wrong with joining the Qi family and joining the new emperor?

Mrs. Pei heaved a sigh of relief after hearing her son's explanation.

Although she didn't understand what was going on in the court, she was furious when she heard the recent rumors that the emperor was killing loyal officials and massacring the people of the city.

"The current emperor is incompetent and disregards human life. He is indeed not worth following."

Pei Zirong nodded in agreement.

"So, as long as Madam Qi can send Wei'er and the others back to me, I am willing to be loyal to the Qi family!"

Today, the Qi family is the popular choice.

It was also a great opportunity for him to stand on the side of the Qi family.

Madam Pei looked around and asked, "Zirong, many people saw you and Madam Qi in contact today. If the emperor hears about it, he will definitely be suspicious of you. Will Wei'er and the others be in danger?"

Pei Zirong shook his head affirmatively, "No, after your accident, the people who came to Luoxia Lake to play were afraid of getting into trouble, so they all hid far away. No one heard what Madam Qi and I said. I will take the valuable gifts to the post station and act out a scene of a filial son kneeling down to ask for medical treatment for his mother."

However, this did not dispel the emperor's suspicion.

But his son was held hostage in the capital, so even if the emperor had suspicions, he would not take action against him.

***

After Ye Chutang and Qi Qingyu left Luoxia Lake, they walked towards the post station.

Halfway through the walk, Ye Chutang saw a long queue at a pastry shop.

She randomly asked someone, "Excuse me, what is this shop selling? Why is the business so hot?"

The woman being asked had previously welcomed the exile team at the city gate and knew Ye Chutang.

The woman said enthusiastically, "This shop sells glass cakes, which are crystal clear, unique in taste, and both beautiful and delicious. Madam Qi must try them."

"Okay, thank you."

Ye Chutang looked at Qi Qingyu and gently rubbed his stomach.

"Eldest sister, please queue here first. I'm going to use the toilet and will be back soon."

Qi Qingyu nodded and pointed to the clinic not far away.

"Sister-in-law, if you feel unwell, go to the pharmacy."

"I'm fine. I just ate a lot of food last night and I have a stomachache. I'm going to the clinic to use the toilet."

After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he handed the paper bag of lotus seeds to Qi Qingyu and quickly went to a pharmacy farther away.

She borrowed writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone from the clinic and wrote a prescription for Old Madam Pei.

"Give me ten doses of medicine according to the prescription."

The shopkeeper took the prescription and took a look at it.

Seeing that there were many expensive medicinal herbs, he said happily, "Okay, please wait a moment, young lady."

"Boss, I have a stomachache and would like to use the toilet. Is that okay?"

The shopkeeper quickly asked the medicine boy to take Ye Chutang to the backyard.

The toilet is in the northwest corner of the backyard. There is a dim lantern at the door, swaying slightly in the night breeze.

After the medicine boy told Ye Chutang the location, he went back to the front hall to help.

Ye Chutang pushed open the door of the toilet.

The toilets in ancient times were dry toilets, surrounded by soil.

She used her earth-related abilities to teleport to the Dingzhou garrison camp and found the warehouse where the winter clothes were stored.

The warehouse was unattended, but there were people patrolling nearby.

Ye Chutang did not disturb anyone, entered the warehouse, and put the winter clothes into the space.

Then he teleported back to the toilet in the pharmacy.

Although it cost a lot of merit points to go back and forth, it only took the time of an incense stick.

When she returned to the front hall, the shopkeeper had just finished packing the herbs.

Ye Chutang paid the money, took the medicine and left, waiting in line with Qi Qingyu.

Half an hour later, the two returned to the post station with the glass cake.

The two elders of the Qi family were playing with the children. When they saw Ye Chutang coming back with medicine, they immediately became worried.

Madam Qi immediately asked Ye Chutang, "Ah Tang, why did you buy medicine? Are you feeling unwell?"

She was worried that Ye Chutang hadn't had her period yet and that there was something wrong with her body.

Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. I bought this medicine for someone else."

After saying that, she asked Qi Qingyu to take out the pastries and everyone could eat together.

Old Madam Qi was worried and looked at her daughter.

Qi Qingyu placed the still warm glass cake on the table and gave Old Madam Qi a reassuring look.

"Mom, eat cake."

Old Madam Qi was relieved and invited Aunt Xu and her son to come and eat.

Ye Chutang didn't see Sun Chu, so she asked, "Mother, where is Master Sun?"

"Young Master Sun went out after you and came back before you. He is in the room now."

"I'll go get him."

The room that the postmaster arranged for Sun Chu was on the second floor.

At this moment, he was looking at the letter in his hand, breathing rapidly.

The letter was obtained from Qianjinfang in Dingzhou and was the result of an investigation into Ye Chutang.

He looked at the familiar poem and was so excited that he almost tore the thin piece of paper.

"Sure enough, my suspicion was correct!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chutang's voice rang out outside the door.

"Mr. Sun, come downstairs and have some cakes."

“Shh!”

The sudden sound startled Sun Chu, and the taut paper finally couldn't withstand his strength and was torn into two pieces.

He hurriedly crumpled up the two pieces of paper and stuffed them into his palm-wide belt.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Ye Chutang immediately heard that there was something wrong with Sun Chu's voice.

It's like a kid who gets caught doing something bad but pretends to be calm.

She was not worried that Sun Chu would betray her, and did not take his abnormality to heart.

Sun Chu listened to Ye Chutang's footsteps getting farther and farther away, holding his breath and exhaling.

He took the note out of his belt and read it again.

After taking a few deep breaths and calming himself down, he opened the door and went downstairs.

The people from the Qi family sat around the table, eating glass cakes and chatting.

When Qi Hean saw Sun Chu coming over, he immediately called out, "Mr. Sun, come and sit down."

After Sun Chu sat down, his eyes glanced at Ye Chutang uncontrollably, and his hands touched his belt uncontrollably.

Ye Chutang pushed the paper bag containing the glass cake in front of Sun Chu.

"Why is Mr. Sun so guilty? Did you do something shameful?"
