"Mom?" Boss Ye paused and looked at Old Lady Ye in confusion.
Ye Lao Er said anxiously: "Mom, you said that Xiao Huangshi is pitiful, we have to help them!"
Old Madam Ye shook her head and said, "It's pitiful, but this is a matter of life and death after all.
“Although this is what the village chief meant, he only told you these words and there is no other evidence.
"If you go to the clan leader now, you won't be able to get rid of the blame if there are any problems in the future!
"Especially now that there are still people in the clan who have been coveting Ye Laizi's house and land.
"If you can find something wrong with Ye Laizi's body, others may find it too.
"Even if you go find the clan leader today and bury the body as soon as possible, if any news gets out, they can open the coffin and perform an autopsy at any time!"
Old Mrs. Ye’s words made the two brothers feel a chill down their spines.
"Mom, what do you think we should do about this?"
"Logically speaking, Lu Fei is young, and he was trying to protect his sister, so even if this matter goes to court, the sentence won't be too severe.
"But reporting it directly to the police is still too risky."
Mrs. Ye thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I think it would be better if you hurry back to the capital and consult with Qingshan to ask him to help you make a decision.
"He's an official in the capital, he knows more than us, it's better than us guessing at home.
"Make it clear to him that we're not asking him for help. We just want him to analyze the pros and cons and come up with a decision. Remember?"
Boss Ye responded, "Don't worry, Mom. I still have some sense of propriety."
"You're nothing!" Old Madam Ye rolled her eyes and said, "If you really had any sense, you wouldn't have said such impulsive words just now.
"Ever since I found out Qingshan's identity, what have I told you brothers?
“Whatever you do in the future, you must think twice.
"Qingshan has no background to rely on, and he took over such an important task right after returning. Who knows how many people in Beijing are jealous of him and hoping that he will make a mistake!
"If you do something wrong and get caught, they won't care about our relationship with Qingshan or when we first met. They will just put the blame on him!
"Qingshan's current status is all due to his own hard work, every time he fights for it. If you implicate him due to your carelessness, I will not acknowledge such a son!"
Ye Lao Da was scolded by Old Lady Ye until sweat covered his forehead. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Mom, I understand. I'll go back right away.
"It's not too late now. We can definitely get into the city before the gates close."
After Ye Lao Da left, Old Madam Ye glared at Ye Lao Er again and said, "Don't think that I said your eldest brother didn't say anything about you. You better tighten your skin and be more careful with your words!
"Don't go out and talk nonsense, and don't make promises to others casually. Do you understand?"
"Mom, I understand." Ye Laoer's shirt was almost soaked with sweat.
When Ye Qingshan came back for the New Year, he rubbed his back.
He still remembers vividly the scars of varying sizes and shapes on Ye Qingshan's body.
When he thought that Ye Qingshan's career might be ruined by his momentary impulse, he wanted to slap himself twice to wake himself up.
Boss Ye didn't say hello to anyone and drove his carriage straight back to the capital.
It was already dark when we entered the city gate.
Boss Ye didn't even bother to go back to the Cen Mansion and went straight to the General's Mansion.
Ye Qingshan has focused all his energy on the Mongolian horse issue these days.
Although it was already very late, he was still thinking about this matter in his study.
When Ye Qingshan heard from his doorman that Boss Ye had arrived, he hurried out to greet him.
"Brother is here, please come in quickly."
Ye Qingshan could tell at a glance that Boss Ye had something to do, so he welcomed him into the study, had someone serve him a pot of tea, and then sent everyone away.
"Brother, why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?"
Boss Ye naturally had nothing to hide from Ye Qingshan, so he started from the beginning and told him everything in detail.
After hearing this, Ye Qingshan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
He raised his hand to wipe it, and said with some fear: "Brother, this time it's thanks to Auntie that I stopped you.
"Otherwise, if you really go to find the clan leader, this matter will be difficult to handle."
Boss Ye was also shocked when he heard this. He kept saying, "Brother Qingshan, I'm so sorry. I was too impulsive and almost got you into trouble."
"Brother, we brothers don't say this." Ye Qingshan waved his hand and said, "But what Auntie said is right, this is a matter of life and death.
"The Emperor has always attached great importance to criminal cases. Every year, all murder cases from all over the country are reported to the capital, and after unified approval, the execution is carried out in the autumn.
“To put it bluntly, if you really go to the clan leader, it will be considered as you guaranteeing this matter.
"If the case is overturned in the future, not only me, but even Lord Qin won't be able to save you!"
Boss Ye's hands couldn't help shaking after hearing what Ye Qingshan said.
Ye Qingshan patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, as the saying goes, an old man in the family is like a treasure. This old lady in our family is definitely the ancestor of the family!
"Don't be afraid, things haven't gotten to the worst point yet. I'll ask someone to heat up a pot of wine, and we two brothers will have a good drink tonight to relieve our fatigue.
"As for how to help that poor mother and child, I'll find someone tomorrow to learn more about the situation and then make a long-term plan. How do you think that is?"
"Sorry to bother you then." Boss Ye also felt at this moment that he really needed to drink a few sips of wine to calm down.
They said they would heat up a pot of wine, but the two brothers gradually became interested in drinking, and soon asked someone to bring another jar of wine, and called the cook to prepare some side dishes.
By the time Shao in the backyard heard the news, the two brothers were already drunk.
Shao had just coaxed her two energetic sons to sleep and was thinking that she could finally take a break when she had to work again.
"When did Big Brother come?" Shao asked as she led the servants to the study in the front yard. "Why are you drinking out of the blue?"
"I don't know either. When Master Ye came, the general sent everyone away."
Ye Qingshan's servant followed behind with his body bent, explaining carefully, fearing that the lady would be angry.
Fortunately, the Shao family had a very good impression of Boss Ye's family. Thinking that Ye Qingshan had been working hard for his work these days, it was really hard, and it was a good thing to have someone to accompany him to drink some wine and relax. He did not mean to be angry.
As a result, as soon as she walked into the study, Ye Qingshan grabbed her wrist and said, "Wife, I, I want to tell you.
"Although my parents are gone, from now on, Auntie is my real mother. We must respect her well. Do you remember?"
