Chapter 97 Don’t Be My Lover, Be My Concubine (Twenty-Four)
"What corruption?"
The brothel owner thought for a long time and replied helplessly, "The man sent by the government didn't say anything. But since he has entered the brothel, I will not pursue the matter. However, Yin Xian's property deed has been stamped by the government, so he cannot be redeemed."
Yu Huo glanced at the man who secretly clenched his fists, his eyes inquiring: "I remember you didn't say that at the beginning? Didn't you have an alcoholic father, a sick mother, and a brother who studied hard? How come you've become the family of a criminal official now? A broken family of a criminal official?"
“…”
Yin Xian was speechless for a moment, looking a little embarrassed, but not afraid.
No wonder this guy didn't show any fear when he saw Jiang Ye, the princess. It turned out that he was the son of an official and must have seen some of the world.
At this moment, Yu Miao suddenly took a sideways step and stood in front of the other person, looking like he was protecting his child: "Brother, after all, you have been in the entertainment industry for so many years. Everyone says the same thing, why are you asking such a question when you know the answer?"
Yu Huo looked at the two people holding hands like star-crossed mandarin ducks, speechless.
If you don’t know him, you might think he is a villain who breaks up a couple. Look how pitiful he is.
Unfortunately...it wasn't him who was trying to break up the couple, it was the world that was trying to break up the couple: "Not to mention his parents, he's the son-in-law of a convicted official, so he can't be your son-in-law."
Yu Miao had been spoiled by him for these years and had become somewhat lawless. She bit her lip, raised her finger and pointed in Yu Huo's direction, saying arrogantly, "No matter what, you figure out a solution!"
Yu Huo looked ridiculous: "Yu Sanshui, are you relying on me?"
"right!"
Jiang Ye saw that the young man said he was unwilling, but his eyes were filled with doting. He pushed the wheelchair over and asked, "Yu Miao, if you really like him, tell me about his situation. If possible, I can help you go to the palace to ask for mercy."
Yu Miao instantly smiled brightly, happier than if she had been given a box of gold: "Sister-in-law, are you serious?"
Jiang Ye nodded: "But things have been a bit turbulent lately. Once the turmoil over the imperial examination is over, I'll go get him back for you."
Yu Miao pulled Yin Xian's arm and turned around with a smile: "Did you hear that? My sister-in-law is the Eighth Princess. Tell her about your story quickly."
Yin Xian, however, showed no sign of happiness, his expression remained calm and composed: "Thank you, Your Highness the Eighth Princess, but Yin Xian's appearance is too fragile to be worthy of Second Miss Yu..."
Seeing Yu Miao was about to cry, Jiang Ye thought of loving Yu Miao and his wife. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and interrupted her: "What? You don't want to be redeemed?"
Yin Xian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head gently: "It's not that Yin Xian doesn't want to, but my family affairs are too serious, and I'm afraid it will implicate the princess and her husband."
Jiang Ye's dark eyes drifted over, as if carrying a creepy warmth: "Tell me first."
Yin Xian was helpless and sighed: "My father is the magistrate of Luoyang."
This sentence was like a time bomb that exploded in the hearts of the two people. Jiang Ye was silent for a moment, then turned back to look at the brothel owner: "Let's talk for a while. You take that haggard young man away first."
Upon hearing this, the brothel owner immediately pulled Master Lan Chang out. When he left, the fabric on his back was stained with water, as if it was soaked with cold sweat.
Yu Huo chuckled to himself. If Jiang Ye really wanted to do something, he would have many ways to make it difficult for him. He was just trying to scare him to death...
Um?
Get some revenge!
Is this jealousy?
While he was indulging in romantic affairs, others were already asking about Yin Xian's background in a businesslike manner.
"You said your father was the magistrate of Luoyang?"
Yin Xian nodded in agreement.
The Luoyang Tongpan was imprisoned and beheaded for embezzling disaster relief funds.
Jiang Ye gently rubbed the second joint of his index finger with his thumb, and his voice seemed to be full of pressure: "I only want to ask you one question, did your father embezzle the money for disaster relief? I want you to tell the truth!"
Hatred flashed in Yin Xian's eyes. "Of course not! My father never saw a single silver ingot! Back then, the court sent Minister Wu, the Crown Prince's cousin. He said he would be fully responsible for disaster relief. Who would dare to disobey him?"
"Do you have any evidence?" Jiang Ye asked again.
Yin Xian was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up with a look of desperate determination on his face.
"When Minister Wu was staying in my courtyard temporarily, before the incident, I felt something was amiss, so I secretly went to his study and took away an account book..."
Yu Huo caught the key words in his ears and suddenly pulled himself out of his previous emotions. He looked at Jiang Ye from afar across the green plants on the table and smiled silently.
The few of them continued their espionage for a while. Before leaving, Jiang Ye took out a large silver note and handed it to the brothel owner, instructing him, "For the next six months, you must not arrange for any patrons to be offered to Master Yin Xian. They must be well fed and well served. Is this enough money?"
The brothel owner glanced at the amount and nodded repeatedly, "It's enough. Princess and Prince Consort, please rest assured. No one except Miss Yu will see Master Yin Xian for the next six months."
After getting on the carriage, Yu Huo and Jiang Ye were very happy.
Because this matter concerned Yin Xian, the two of them didn't shy away from Yu Miao. They laughed and said, "I never thought the Crown Prince would plant such a huge trap for himself! Let's keep this a secret for now, and when his power is about to collapse, we can bring this case to light and stab him. Perhaps it will have unexpected results."
Jiang Ye looked out the window, his smile tinged with sarcasm: "Yes, but if the young master of the Tongpan Prefecture could pass the imperial examination, I think this year's Enke would also have an extra topic of conversation. What a pity."
"It's not a pity. Didn't he meet you?" Yu Huo yawned lazily, then looked at his sister who hadn't said a word since getting into the car, and slapped her head with his hand: "Are you mute?"
Yu Miao turned his head away and surprisingly did not jump up to fight back. He looked a little depressed.
She was not a fool, and of course she could hear that his brother and sister-in-law seemed to have some big plans and wanted to make trouble for Yin Xian.
"Brother, will he die?"
"Do you like him very much?" Yu Huo asked back.
The girl nodded, and said quietly, "I like it."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huo reached out and ruffled her hair, then smiled and promised: "Even if you like him, how could we possibly let him die?
Don't worry, if things go well, the deceased Tongpan will be vindicated and Yin Xian will be able to restore his innocent status.
Yu Sanshui, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. If you don't risk it, you will only be trapped and unable to escape. Do you want to watch him become prey in a spider's web, living in fear in a dark corner for the rest of his life, or let jealousy fill his life?"
Yu Miao slowly closed his eyes, finally shook his head and said softly: "Of course I don't want to."
Yu Huo glanced at the girl's gradually mature face, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly faded, and a trace of melancholy filled his heart.
The little girl seems to have grown up...
Jiang Ye was a bit busy today. When he wanted to rest in the evening, Aunt Cui suddenly rushed in and reported in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the Queen is not feeling well and wants to see you."
