That night, Ye Yunniang coaxed Li Pan and the other two to sleep.
Instruct them not to reveal that Ang Lee is rich or that Jiang Mingzhe is involved, lest they attract more attention.
Li Pan and the other two nodded, indicating they wouldn't say anything.
"Mom, we accept our new father."
Ye Yunniang reached out and hugged her three sons.
"Mom, when is Grandma bringing my little sister back?"
“It’s Auntie,” Ye Yunniang corrected Li Pan.
"I want a younger sister." Li Pan already has two younger brothers, and he really wants a younger sister.
"I want a younger sister," Li Ping chimed in.
Ang Lee didn't speak, but his expression clearly showed he wanted his sister.
This touched Ye Yunniang, who has three loving sons: ...
“Grandma gave birth to my aunt,” Ye Yunniang emphasized again.
After putting the three children to sleep, Ye Yunniang closed the door to the main room.
Jiang Mingzhe was waiting for her in the side room.
"Is the matter of the body being completely destroyed over?"
"Half done." Jiang Mingzhe returned this time to report on the progress. He hadn't originally planned to come to Jiangcheng, but after receiving news that Ye Yunniang had been injured by thieves, he detoured to Jiangcheng overnight.
Jiang Mingzhe reached out and hugged Ye Yunniang, "I'm late. I'm sorry you had to go through all that."
Ye Yunniang shook her head, "I'm not afraid of thieves, I'm just worried about An'an."
"I'll handle things with the Jin family," Jiang Mingzhe reassured Ye Yunniang. He would make arrangements to prevent the Jin family from bothering Ye Yunniang again.
Ye Yunniang trusted Jiang Mingzhe and didn't mention the Jin family.
"What did you say to the children?" Ye Yunniang asked curiously.
"I'll tell you next time I come back," Jiang Mingzhe said, keeping everyone in suspense.
In the darkness, Ye Yunniang saw Jiang Mingzhe off. She closed the courtyard gate and returned to her room.
Tong Mo sat at the table with a sullen face. The small box that Jiang Mingzhe had brought was already open.
Inside were jade bracelets of different styles collected by Jiang Mingzhe. Through observation, Jiang Mingzhe discovered that Ye Yunniang had a great fondness for bracelets, especially jade bracelets.
In recent years, besides working, he has been collecting jade bracelets.
Besides the bracelet, there were also rolls of silver notes in the box.
"Is this what you did with him for?" Tong Mo asked in a tone of voice.
"It's none of your business." Ye Yunniang stepped forward and closed the box. "Don't go through other people's things without permission."
"In your eyes, I'm an outsider, and he's an insider?"
"Tong Mo, find a good girl and settle down properly," Ye Yunniang advised.
"If you marry me, I'll live a good life." Tong Mo's words left Ye Yunniang speechless, and she said nothing more. She reached out to hug the small box.
"Ye Yunniang, what do I lack compared to Jiang Mingzhe?" Tong Mo grabbed Ye Yunniang's hand, puzzled.
"You're great. You don't need to compare yourself to anyone."
"Why did you choose him and not me? I apologize for what happened with Lin Cheng. I was too playful back then and didn't consider you. I will change in the future and will never let you be in danger again."
"Tong Mo, don't be like this. If I have to say something, I can only say that we met too late."
"Too late?"
"Yes. My heart has already entered into his." Ye Yunniang spoke frankly.
"Couldn't you save me a seat?"
"No." Ye Yunniang's attitude was firm.
"Ye Yunniang, you're really ruthless." Tong Mo said, then pushed open the door and left.
After a sleepless night, Ye Yunniang got up early to prepare breakfast for her three children.
After instructing the three children to study, Ye Yunniang went to the prefectural government to inquire with Tie Xiong about the outcome of Wang Daxing's handling of the matter.
“Wang Daxing has other cases on his record, so they can’t be closed for the time being,” Tie Xiong explained. “I’ve sent someone to warn the Wang family.”
"Thank you, Brother Tiexiong," Ye Yunniang said.
"No need, this is all I should do." Tie Xiong felt that what he was doing was nothing special.
If Li Jun were alive, Ye Yunniang wouldn't have had to go through all of this.
"Aunt Cai, do you need me to go and inquire over there?" Tie Xiong asked with concern, thinking that it was almost Chinese New Year and Cai Damei hadn't gone home.
"Mother wrote back a couple of days ago; she'll be back soon," Ye Yunniang declined.
"Alright, I'll go take care of my work now. If you need anything, come find me at the government office," Tie Xiong said before heading off to do his work.
Ye Yunniang agreed and headed towards the market.
I was stopped on the road.
"Get out of the way." Ye Yunniang was very rude to the person who came.
“I know why Wang Daxing went to your house?” Huan Di quickly asked.
“The government office is just ahead; you should talk to them.” Ye Yunniang lifted her foot and walked towards the market.
“Really, I’m not lying to you. You have to believe me.” Huan Di blocked Ye Yun Niang’s path.
"What do you want?" Ye Yunniang stopped in her tracks.
"I want five taels of silver," Huan Di said, holding out his hand.
"No," Ye Yunniang replied curtly.
"Just give me five taels of silver, and I'll tell you why Wang Daxing went to your house and who's plotting against you behind the scenes," Huan Di said anxiously.
"I'll investigate myself." Ye Yunniang didn't trust Huandi.
"I...I swear on my life and my daughter's life. What I said is absolutely true. I'm not lying to you." Huan Di grabbed Ye Yun Niang, preventing her from leaving.
"Let go." Ye Yunniang tried to shake Huandi off.
"I beg you, I really have no other choice. Please, help me." Huan Di said, kneeling down with a thud, grabbing Ye Yunniang's feet with both hands, and kowtowing again and again.
Ye Yunniang tried several times, but couldn't shake off Huandi.
"What do you need five taels of silver for?"
“My mother-in-law. She wants to sell my younger sister to raise money to bail Wang Daxing out,” Huandi explained.
"Wang Daxing is not going to come out."
“My mother-in-law found someone. That person said 100 taels of silver would get Wang Daxing released,” Huandi explained.
Seeing that Ye Yunniang's scheme was failing, Old Lady Wang went to find her old lover, a prison guard.
