Chapter 382 A chill on my back

Ye Mingzhu didn't notice it at first, but Xia Li looked outside and whispered, "Miss, there seems to be no sound outside?"

Ye Mingzhu listened carefully and found that there was really no sound.

Although this is the backyard, various noises from the front yard could still be heard from time to time just now, but now, they are really gone.

Jiang Yue was a little anxious: "Did something happen in the front yard?"

Ye Mingzhu comforted her, "Don't worry, little aunt. Today is my uncle's wedding day. How could something go wrong? I'll go take a look."

Jiang Yue urged her to hurry over.

Ye Mingzhu asked Xia Li to take good care of Jiang Yue, and she walked quickly to the front yard.

On the way, I met Qiuguo who was coming back with a lunch box. Qiuguo's face was full of excitement.

"Qiu Guo, why was there suddenly no sound in the front yard?"

Qiu Guo's face was full of smiles: "Is it the adults who are here?"

"Sir? What sir?"

"Master Zheng, it's Master Zheng who's here to attend the young lady's wedding. The master and the son-in-law are both accompanying him in front."

Ye Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Go and tell your aunt-in-law so that she won't worry."

Qiu Guo bowed and went to the backyard happily.

Ye Mingzhu stood there for a while and did not go to the front yard. No matter who Lord Zheng came for, it had nothing to do with her. She went to the kitchen to check on the food and not neglect the distinguished guest.

When she arrived at the kitchen, it was in a state of chaos, with excitement and anxiety on everyone's face.

The housekeeper saw her coming and smiled: "Miss cousin, the master asked me to find you in the front yard."

"Did you say anything?"

"The master didn't say." The housekeeper glanced at the servants around him who were listening attentively. He didn't say anything, but just asked Ye Mingzhu to go to the front yard quickly.

Ye Mingzhu guessed that it was Lord Zheng who was looking for her, but she didn't guess it was about her going back.

"Your Excellency is saying that a boat has been arranged for us to go back?" Ye Mingzhu almost thought she had misheard. How could Lord Zheng be so considerate?

Not only did he send them to the provincial capital, he even worried about their return.

Master Zheng took a sip from the wine glass beside him, then said slowly, "Yun'an and Ludou have been out for a long time. It's almost time for them to go back to study."

Ye Mingzhu saw that Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou's faces froze at the same time. They didn't want to go back yet.

"Thank you very much, sir, for still thinking of my two nephews." Wang Dahu toasted Lord Zheng with a glass.

"Two nephews?" Lord Zheng said, with a half-smile, "Your two nephews seem to have different surnames."

Wang Dahu laughed heartily: "They both call me uncle, so they are naturally my nephew."

Lord Zheng glanced at Luodou, who felt a chill on his back. When he wanted to speak, Lord Zheng had already turned around to talk to Wang Dahu.

After they drank another glass of wine, Lord Zheng stood up and reminded Ye Mingzhu that the return ship would only be in three days, so he asked her to make arrangements in advance.

Ye Mingzhu thanked Lord Zheng, and Wang Dahu personally went to see Lord Zheng off.

After a while, Wang Dahu found an excuse to call Ye Mingzhu out, his face full of confusion: "Mingzhu, the adults said that Ah Jiu will go back with you?"

Ye Mingzhu was quite happy: "Ajiu's guarding skills are pretty good. With him around, my uncle can rest assured."

Wang Dahu was a little worried. "Mingzhu, why is Lord Zheng so kind to you? Why did he even send a ship and guards to take you back?"

Ye Mingzhu knew that Lord Zheng was concerned about Lu Dou's safety, but Lu Dou's identity had to be kept secret, so she was reluctant to say this.

"Guard Ajiu just said he had something to do. I guess he's going to do something and wanted to give me a ride."

Ye Mingzhu probably is the only one who believes what she said.

Wang Dahu looked at her for a moment and suddenly said, "Mingzhu, Lord Zheng is of a very high status, and we cannot reach him."

Ye Mingzhu nodded in agreement: "Yes, so uncle, you must be careful when following Lord Zheng."

She felt that the great figures in ancient times were somewhat stubborn, so it was better to stay away from them.

Wang Dahu didn't know how to respond after she said that. Someone came to call him from outside and asked him to go and make a toast.

"Uncle, please come over quickly. I'll go and accompany my aunt."

"Well, ask Jiang Yue if she wants to wash up. There is hot water in the kitchen." Wang Dahu knew that Jiang Yue was a clean person.

"Don't worry, uncle." Ye Mingzhu smiled and urged him to go to the banquet first.

Ye Mingzhu went to the new house and said something, but didn't stay long.

The noise in the front yard continued for another half an hour before gradually dying down.

Ye Yun'an and Luodou came back yawning. Ye Mingzhu asked Yunniang to get some water for them so that they could wash up, as they had to meet their relatives early the next morning.

The housekeeper arranged for people to clean up the front yard. Ye Mingzhu looked around and saw that Wang Dahu was no longer there. She smiled and went to bed. She didn't want to stare at two dark circles under her eyes when she went to meet her relatives tomorrow.

The next morning, when Chun Xing came to help Ye Mingzhu get up, she said, "Master said that once Miss Cousin has packed up, we can go to the main hall to recognize our relatives first, and then have dinner together."

Ye Mingzhu didn't expect her uncle to get up so early, so she asked Chunxing to hurry up.

By the time she had finished cleaning up, Jiang Yue had already prepared the meal in the main hall.

"Aunt, why don't you get some more sleep?"

"I'm awake now, so I might as well get up." Jiang Yue felt a little sore all over, but she was afraid that Ye Mingzhu would notice, so she pulled her to sit on a chair.

Ye Mingzhu looked around and asked, "Why don't I see my uncle?"

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Your uncle went to call Yun'an and Ludou."

In fact, Ye Yun'an and Luodou are both self-disciplined children. Even after coming to the provincial capital, they would practice boxing every morning.

But there is definitely a difference between practicing boxing on your own and being watched by a master. After Lord Zheng reminded them yesterday, they practiced extra seriously today, so it took a little longer.

Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Yue talked for a few more words, and then Wang Dahu came with Ye Yunan and Ludou.

Green Bean sniffed as he entered the room, his eyes shining: "What are you having for breakfast today? It smells so good."

"This is made by the cook I brought from home. Eat more Green Bean later." Jiang Yue had heard from Wang Dahu that Green Bean recognized Ye Mingzhu as her sister and would be his nephew in the future, so the tone she used to talk to Green Bean was no different from that to Ye Yun'an.

Green Bean nodded vigorously. Wang Dahu patted his head and said, "First, recognize your relationship, then eat."

Wang Dahu and Jiang Yue are elders. Ye Mingzhu brought Ye Yun'an and Luodou to pay their respects to them. Jiang Yue took out the gifts prepared for the three of them.

Each of the three people received a set of clothes. Ye Mingzhu also received a twisted wire bracelet, while Ye Yunan and Luodou each received a set of four treasures of the study.

These things were obviously carefully prepared. It seemed that Jiang Yue cared about Ye Mingzhu and her two siblings.

"Mingzhu, I heard from your uncle that you will be leaving in two days. Come to my place later. I have prepared some things for you to take back." Jiang Yue woke up this morning and heard Wang Dahu tell her the time when Ye Mingzhu and the others would be leaving, so she asked the maid to find some things in advance.
