Chapter 108 Nothing to say?
It was reasonable for Ye Lanzhou to appear here. After all, Ye Qingshang was her sister after all. However, she seemed too calm, which made Xie Chengyan suspicious and he followed her for some unknown reason.
She returned to the Ye Mansion.
Most of the people in the Ye Mansion followed the wedding procession to the Pei Mansion. The only ones left in the mansion were servants. Ye Lanzhou went straight to the ancestral hall of the Ye Mansion.
Because today is the wedding of someone in the Ye family, the ancestral hall has been decorated in an elegant manner. The candles on the table are burning brightly. They are the incense that Ye Qingshang and Pei Song burned after they paid their respects at the ancestral hall.
Ye Lanzhou's gaze fell on an inconspicuous memorial tablet in front of the ancestral hall. On it were written in running script: "Ye Chongshan's wife Liu".
If she had not said that Ye Lanzhou's fate was uncertain, Ye Lanzhou would not have suffered so many years of cold treatment.
Xie Chengyan was standing not far away, but he didn't know what Ye Lanzhou was thinking. He only saw her split the fire starter in her hand and then threw it on the mourning hall. The mourning hall seemed to have been spilled with something before, and it was now wet. As soon as the fire starter fell on the mourning hall, the fire suddenly started.
The fire was as high as a person, almost brushing Ye Lanzhou's hair, but Ye Lanzhou just took a step back calmly, then turned and walked out.
She ran into Xie Chengyan at the corner of an ancestral hall. She was walking so fast that she almost bumped into him. Seeing Xie Chengyan appear here, she knew that he had seen her arson and did not intend to explain anything.
Seeing that she wasn't about to speak, Xie Chengyan asked, "What are you not going to tell me?"
Ye Lanzhou glanced at the ancestral hall that was on fire. At this moment, the two of them were in a hidden place.
Several servants from the Ye Mansion discovered the ancestral hall on fire and were frantically fetching water to put out the flames, muttering, "I don't know what's going on today. Lanterns caught fire this morning, and the ancestral hall caught fire during the day. What kind of conflict is this?"
At this moment, the servants in the Ye Mansion did not know that Ye Qingshang was dead. They just felt uneasy and had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen.
The fire in the ancestral hall could not be put out for a while, so she spilled a lot of oil and water on it, especially on the spirit tablet of Old Lady Ye.
She said, "A half-dead old woman was bossing around with her newborn baby. Her one unfounded word caused my mother and me years of suffering. Even if she were dead, she wouldn't be able to rest in peace!"
Thinking of the name she had carried for several years because of her words, she felt even more angry. In the past, not many people knew her background, and she was not good at telling others about it. Now that Xie Chengyan had asked, she said frankly: "It's a pity that I didn't return to the Ye Mansion earlier, otherwise she would have died the same way as Ye Qingshang!"
Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Xie Chengyan was afraid that the servants who were putting out the fire would hear the noise and rush over, so he pulled Ye Lanzhou away.
The gate of the Ye Mansion was open. There were few servants in the mansion at the moment. The few servants who were originally guarding the gate were called away to put out the fire, so there was no one guarding the door. Xie Chengyan took Ye Lanzhou and quietly left the gate of the Ye Mansion.
The two had nowhere to go, and wandering on the streets didn't seem like a good idea, so Xie Chengyan took Ye Lanzhou to Wanhe Tower.
On the way, Xie Chengyan asked the people around him: "Don't you want me to take care of your affairs this time?"
Ye Lanzhou knew that he was talking about the last time she framed Ye Qingshang at the palace banquet and asked him to protect her.
But that time it happened in public, and at the emperor's palace banquet, the royal family would definitely investigate. But it was different now. At this moment, there was no one else except Xie Chengyan and her, so there was no need for him to protect her.
