Ye Chen put down the book in his hand and did not ask Li Ma and Li Zhi directly. His long fingers, with distinct joints, tapped the table one by one.
After a moment, he picked up a brush and began to annotate the book. He then said, "Do you want to explain it yourself, or should I ask?"
"There are advantages to confessing on your own. If I ask, there will be no advantages at all."
Li Zhi looked up and said, "What do you want to explain? I just want to borrow some money from you. What do you need to explain?"
Ye Chen stopped writing, looked at Li Ma and said, "Where's Li Ma? Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Nanny Li has been in the Ye family for many years and knows very well that what she did before has been exposed, otherwise Ye Chen would not have brought her son here.
He just lay on the ground and told everything.
It turned out that on the thirteenth day, when she went to Taohuazhai to buy cakes for Chen Qiu, she met someone who said that she knew her son owed a lot of money and she could pay him back and give her a lot of extra money.
Nanny Li worked at the Ye Mansion. In this situation, she knew what this person was going to do, so she refused directly. Although she didn't have much money to pay off her son's debts, she wanted to live more.
But in the afternoon, her son had one of his fingers chopped off. The man told her that she would not be put in a difficult position and that she only needed to tell him about the Duke's wife's situation and she didn't need to do anything else.
She thought that the lady just strolled in the garden, practiced sword or went out with the Duke every day, and there was nothing else she did, so she agreed.
After she told the man that the Duke's wife was pregnant, he gave her 1,000 taels of silver, but it was snatched away by her son as soon as he turned around.
Li Mama cried and said, "Please spare my life, Duke. I really didn't do anything else."
Ye Chen asked: "What does the person who asked you to monitor my wife look like?"
Nanny Li said, "She was wearing a hood, so I couldn't see her clearly, but she was tall, and she was accompanied by two elegant maids. She looked much more impressive than the maids in our mansion."
Ye Chen was silent for a while and then said: "Madame Li, you are the old nanny of the mansion. From now on, you should go to the farm. As for your son...you can handle it yourself."
Afterwards, Mu Qing was asked to take them downstairs. After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Mu Qing drove directly with Nanny Li out of the city, while Li Zhi got off the car in the downtown area.
A small carriage was heading to another place at a fork in the road after leaving the city. After about two hours, the horse pulling the carriage got frightened and threw the carriage off a cliff, destroying the carriage and killing everyone on board.
On the other side, Li Zhigang got off the car and went to the gambling house again after many turns, but the people in the gambling house did not let him in this time. It was almost time to light the lights and the evening show was about to begin, and people like him were not allowed to enter the night show.
Li Zhi went home cursing, and no one saw him for several days. When someone found him, his body had already started to stink. This is a later story.
They all had dinner in Rongwei Hall in the evening, and Xiao Hang and Lan Yu were both there.
After dinner, Ye Chen sent Lan Yu and Xiao Hang away. "Grandfather will need treatment in three days. Go to the medicine garden to see if there are enough herbs and if there is anything missing. If not, give me a list and I will buy them for you."
Then, without waiting for Xiao Hang and Lan Yu to speak, Ye Chen said, "Let Xiao Hang take you back to Qiuchen Courtyard later."
Now Lan Yu was willing to go to the medicine garden, although it would be too urgent to check the medicine tomorrow, and how could he check the medicine so late at night?
Xiao Hang was about to speak when Lan Yu pulled him away.
Chen Qiu looked at Ye Chen, just smiled and shook his head, then said: "Husband, let's go back now?"
Ye Chen smiled and supported Chen Qiu as they walked towards Qiuchen Courtyard. The two talked and laughed along the way.
Chen Qiu asked Ye Chen: "By the way, why didn't I see Mu Qing?"
Ye Chen said: "I asked him to deal with the matter in the palace yesterday!"
Chen Qiu looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Did you find the person? Who is it?"
Ye Chen said: "It's Madam Li!"
Chen Qiu said in disbelief: "I never thought it was her. How did you deal with it?"
Ye Chen looked at Chen Qiu and said, "Qiu'er, I might be a little cruel. I don't want to lie to you, but I also don't want you to think I'm cruel, so please don't ask me, okay?"
Shen Qiu leaned his head on Ye Chen's shoulder and said, "Although I come from a military family and have been on the battlefield, I don't want to move when I'm next to you. I just want to lean on you like this."
"Handle it however you want. I trust you, but I hope you can protect yourself."
Chen Qiu suddenly looked up and said to Ye Chen with a smile: "I'm not smart enough, but I can help if I need help."
Ye Chen kissed Chen Qiu on the forehead and said, "Mingyue and Muqing are the ones who helped."
Chen Qiu pouted and said, "My skills are beyond the reach of Mingyue and Xing'er combined!"
Ye Chen tapped Xing'er's nose and said, "I know, my Qiu'er is the best!"
How could he not know? In the previous life, she had single-handedly pulled him out of the encirclement and handed him over to Mingyue. She and Xing'er had been left behind, and when he and Mingyue returned, they had just seen two feather arrows piercing her body.
In her previous life, her father-in-law had said, "Even in the entire Great Yin Kingdom, Qiu'er's swordsmanship is not inferior to others!"
After returning to Qiuchen Courtyard, Ye Chen washed Shen Qiu's body and dried her hair before they got into bed and fell asleep in each other's arms.
Lan Yu pulled Xiao Hang back to the medicine garden, and Banxia and Xuejian hid back in the house.
Xiao Hang scolded: "You two girls, you should behave like human beings. I am still the owner of this medicine garden, humph!"
Lan Yu said, "You are the master, but I am the mistress here. The master and the mistress are very affectionate, so they are very tactful in avoiding each other!"
Xiao Hang glanced at Lan Yu and asked, "Who wants to be intimate with you?"
After saying that, he ran to his bedroom. Lan Yu chased after him and stopped him the moment he closed the door. Lan Yu smiled evilly and said, "Are you still going to make out? Otherwise, why are you running to the bedroom?"
Xiao Hang snorted and said, "I'm going to sleep."
Lan Yu stepped inside and said, "Okay. I'm about to go to sleep too." Then he lay down on the bed.
Xiao Hang reached out to pull Lan Yu, saying, "You're a grown woman, don't lie on my bed. I'm still a virgin, don't ruin my reputation!"
Lan Yu took advantage of Xiao Hang's inattention and pressed him down with force. Lan Yu said sternly, "Xiao Hang, you took the feather off my hat. You are my man. How long are you going to hide?"
Xiao Hang said: "The gap between you and me is too big, I..." Before Xiao Hang could finish, Lan Yu pinned Xiao Hang's hands above his head with both hands and kissed him.
Xiao Hang was stunned for a moment, then he began to respond to Lan Yu. He knew his own heart best. He loved her, but he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
It's funny to say that this is just a matter of face for the people of Great Yin, but it is not a problem in the Kingdom of Ye Nan.
Lan Yu's kiss became more and more intense, their lips and tongues intertwined and they were inseparable. But in the end, Xiao Hang pushed Lan Yu away and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to marry you, so I have to wait until the wedding night before I can have you. Do you understand?"
Lan Yu smiled and nodded: "I'll listen to you. I will write to my father to let us get married here. How about we do it again when we return to Ye Nan Kingdom?"
Xiao Hang smoothed the silver tassel on Lan Yu's hat and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lan Yu asked worriedly, "Are you really not running anymore? Or hiding anymore?"
Xiao Hang nodded solemnly and said, "I won't run away or hide anymore. I won't let you suffer any more injustice."
The two of them smiled and hugged each other tightly.
