Chapter 35 Murder
The reason why Xie Chengyan let Ye Lanzhou return home was very simple. He suspected that Xie Chengen's body was hidden in the Ye Mansion.
The Ye family is a medical family. The head of the family, Ye Zhixing, is the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau. When Xu Surong was pregnant, it was Ye Zhixing who took full care of her.
With this relationship, it was hard for Xie Chengyan not to be suspicious of the Ye family.
It just so happened that at this time, a "traitor" like Ye Lanzhou appeared in the Ye family, and it just so happened that this person was saved by him. It would be a pity to treat such a good person as such.
Xie Chengyan's men worked quickly, and a huge fire broke out in the royal mausoleum, burning down the entire courtyard. When the news of the noble lady's death reached the capital, Ye Lanzhou was lying on the bed in the palace, recalling what had happened in Nanyang.
It is true that my mother had an affair with someone else.
But there was no other way. In the midst of war, all moral principles were thrown to the wind. Qin was born beautiful. In Nanyang, she made a living by treating patients, hoping to earn a few taels of silver to support herself and her daughter.
But those people coveted Qin's beauty, and their hands reached out to Qin's body.
Only the few taels of silver thrown away afterwards could bring a little comfort to Qin's heart.
Ye Lanzhou was still young at that time and didn't know these things. She only knew that Qin would always lock the door sometimes. She clearly heard her mother's voice, but the lock on the door was locked tightly. She called her mother, but her mother didn't respond.
Until that day, the mother forgot to lock the door and was bumped into by Ye Lanzhou who came back.
Seeing her mother being bullied, she felt hatred.
But her mother hurried over, covered her eyes, and pushed her out of the house.
She had seen the man in the house before. He was the eldest son of the butcher at the entrance of the village. He was pot-bellied, but he was a wealthy man in the area.
At the door, she met the butcher's son, who was coming out with his trousers lifted up. When he saw Ye Lanzhou, he recognized her as Qin's daughter and teased her, "You little girl is no less beautiful than your mother! You'll be making a living here in the future, too!"
Ye Lanzhou was still young at the time and didn't know what he meant. She only knew that he had bullied her mother and wanted to vent her anger, so after he turned around, she picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the back of his head.
The butcher's son felt the pain, covered the back of his head, and turned back, cursing, "You little bastard! How dare you hit me? I'll teach you a lesson!"
As he was talking, Ye Lanzhou started to run. The butcher's son chased her as far as she ran. She stopped in front of an old temple, panting.
The butcher's son was already furious because Ye Lanzhou threw stones at him. Seeing that she dared to run, he was immediately furious and wanted only to catch up with this little bastard.
Ye Lanzhou pulled a thin line in this area, just wanting to teach the butcher's son a lesson, but he didn't expect that after he was tripped by the thin line, he never woke up again. He fell face down on the ground, as if he had lost all his energy and there was no sign of life.
She took out a branch and turned him over, only to see blood flowing from his heart. A cone-shaped stone stood on the ground, with the tip firmly stuck in his heart. He opened his eyes unwillingly, and after being turned over, his eyes were fixed on Ye Lanzhou.
That look was like that of an evil ghost from hell, as if it was looking for Ye Lanzhou to take his life.
That was the first time Ye Lanzhou saw a dead person. There was no blood on her body, but she felt like she was surrounded by blood. Her stomach was churning, and she couldn't help but vomit.
