Chapter 83 I help you?
As the two were talking, the servant on night duty outside the room also noticed the commotion and heard rustling sounds. People with poor eyesight have particularly keen hearing. Xie Chengyan was the first to notice the commotion outside. He stopped talking and motioned Ye Lanzhou to listen.
But after a while, someone stood outside and said, "Fourth Miss, is there anything wrong?"
Ye Lanzhou looked at Xie Chengyan still standing in the room and answered with a stiff upper lip: "No, I need to rest now. You guys go somewhere else."
The person outside answered yes and then left.
Ye Lanzhou listened to the noise gradually dying down and was about to speak, but she saw Xie Chengyan shaking his head at her and putting his fingers in front of his mouth, making a gesture of silence.
She pricked up her ears and listened, only to hear the maid outside seem to have returned. She said, "Fourth Miss, I just forgot something. The people in the laundry are waiting for your dirty clothes today. Would you mind if I could bring them over to you?"
Ye Lanzhou thought, this won’t do. There is someone in the room right now. Xie Chengyan is a living person here. How can she change clothes?
Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and said to the person outside: "No, I'm tired. I'll send it tomorrow!"
The maid outside was adamant and refused to leave. She acted as if she would not leave until she got the dirty clothes. She said, "I am right here. You just need to give me the dirty clothes. You only have to make another trip tomorrow."
Ye Lanzhou sighed secretly, wondering why this little maid was so stubborn. He didn't know where the Ye family found such a servant. Either she was deliberately making things difficult for him, or she was not smart.
At this time, Xie Chengyan in the room turned his gaze to him. He was not wearing the brocade cloth at the moment, and the expression in his eyes was clearly visible. He raised his eyebrows at Ye Lanzhou, as if he was ready to laugh at her.
Ye Lanzhou ignored him, turned around, took out a set of clean clothes from the closet and stuffed them out, without moving the clothes on his body at all.
The maid then left, and after the courtyard had returned to silence, Xie Chengyan spoke up, "You don't have a personal maid? Where's that little maid you insisted on taking with you when you left the royal mausoleum?"
He was talking about Wangshu. Ye Lanzhou felt upset when he mentioned this and said, "People in the Ye Mansion said Wangshu has returned to the palace, and Hongluo is not here. I don't have anyone I can trust in the mansion."
There was a hint of complaint in her words, and Xie Chengyan heard the implication. When they met him at Wanhe Tower, he lied to her that Hong Luo was punished for not telling him in time. He didn't expect that she would take the joke he made casually at Wanhe Tower seriously and actually regard him as a villain.
Forget it, aren't there enough people who think he's a villain? Everyone says that Xie Chengyan was able to stay in Shangjing thanks to Yin Jing's will. Over the years, he has been gathering power in the court and strengthening his own Shenjiying, which has been criticized by the people.
So what? At least the wicked are not oppressed, but the good are.
But in the face of Ye Lanzhou's complaints, he still said: "Hong Luo didn't accept the punishment. I lied to you. Something happened in Nanyang, and I asked her to go and deal with it. She should have returned to the palace by now. I asked her to come back with you today. If there is anything in the future, ask her to come and tell me in time."
As Xie Chengyan spoke, he walked to the window, opened it, and turned around to ask, "Do you want to turn it over yourself? Or do you want me to help you?"
