Chapter 345: Aquaman Failed
Old Mrs. Su's expression changed, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
It’s been thirty years, it’s time to meet that person!
It’s time to put an end to everything in the past!
"Aunt Su!"
Ye Mingyan's voice came from behind.
"Miss Ye, is there something wrong?"
Old Mrs. Su looked back.
"Mingyan will return to the capital in two days. I would like to say goodbye to Aunt Su in advance."
Ye Mingyan said this and knelt down to bow to Old Lady Su.
Mrs. Su smiled and said, "Have a good trip. If you have the chance in Fengqi County in the future, come visit your aunt's house again."
Although Old Lady Su said this, she also knew that a girl like Ye Mingyan should get married when she returned home.
It is impossible to travel far after getting married.
"Thank you, auntie."
After Ye Mingyan finished speaking, he looked at Su Laowu, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
So, everyone in the Su family looked at Su Laowu.
Su Laowu, "..."
Why are you all looking at me?
The corners of Xiao Tangbao's mouth twitched.
Did this fifth brother of mine really not see it, or was he doing it on purpose?
"Fifth Brother Su, Mingyan, can you please have a word with me?" Ye Mingyan blushed and said in a low voice.
Old Mrs. Su showed a look of surprise.
Then, his eyes darkened slightly.
Su Laowu frowned slightly.
Ye Mingyan made such a request, as if there was some unknown relationship between him and her?
"Miss Ye, if you have something to say, feel free to say it." Su Laowu said.
Ye Mingyan was stunned, as if he had not expected Su Laowu to refuse.
My eyes couldn't help but turn red, as if I had been humiliated and wronged.
Any man who sees this look would be heartbroken.
However, Su Laowu seemed to be blind and showed a puzzled expression.
When Ye Mingyan saw Su Laowu's wooden appearance, he felt a sense of decline for the first time.
"Fifth Brother Su, Mingyan has heard about what Prince Zhai and Prince Zhuo did."
When Ye Mingyan said this, his face was full of guilt and apology.
"I'm sorry, it's all Mingyan's fault. I caused trouble for Brother Su Wu..."
Ye Mingyan bit her lip as she spoke, her tone becoming resolute.
"Don't worry, Fifth Brother Su. Even if Mingyan has to sacrifice her whole life, she will never let them target you again. I hope you study hard and pass the imperial examination soon. If that happens, Mingyan will be willing to endure humiliation and become a slave in a wealthy family..."
Ye Mingyan spoke to the end, looking like he was enduring humiliation and bearing a heavy burden.
Tears welled up in my eyes and I was about to cry.
Both Old Lady Su and Old Fifth Su changed their expressions.
The meaning of Ye Mingyan's words was clearly that she was willing to sacrifice herself in order to prevent the Marquis' Mansion and the Earl's Mansion from causing trouble for Su Laowu.
What a great friendship!
So touching!
Any man who hears such a beautiful woman say these words will definitely have a cinnabar mole in his heart.
Xiao Tangbao looked at Ye Mingyan in shock.
"Miss Ye, aren't you and that Prince Zhuo in love?" Little Tangbao blurted out, "I saw the handkerchief he was using. It was yours. Didn't you give it to him?"
Ye Mingyan's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously glanced at Su Laowu.
"No, impossible! Sister Fuya must have seen it wrong!" Ye Mingyan said anxiously, her face pale. "Why would I give it to him?"
Ye Mingyan's face no longer had that resolute look of being ready to die for justice.
"But, the last time you came to our house, I saw the yellow handkerchief you were using. It was exactly the same as the one in that Prince Zhuo's hand." Little Tangbao said in disbelief, "Could it be that he picked it up? Or... stole it?"
When Xiao Tangbao finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.
"How could he, a prince, do such a despicable thing?" An angry expression appeared on Xiao Tangbao's little face. "No! I'm going to tell the county magistrate and have him arrested!"
After Xiao Tangbao finished speaking, he was about to go find County Magistrate Zheng.
Ye Mingyan quickly stopped Xiao Tangbao.
"Sister Fuya, I may have lost it accidentally, and Prince Zhuo happened to pick it up. I will ask the girl to get it back later..."
As Ye Mingyan spoke, he covered his chest with his hands and his face turned pale.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Little Tangbao showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "No wonder I saw that the purse hanging around the waist of Prince Zhai who harmed my brother looked exactly like the purse Miss Ye used to use."
"Miss Ye must have lost it accidentally, and that bad guy picked it up. Miss Ye, you must ask the girl to return the purse!"
Ye Mingyan, “…”
His face turned from white to red.
My heart was beating wildly with fear and uncertainty.
It seemed as if all his thoughts were revealed in the childish voice of Little Tangbao.
Ye Mingyan looked at Xiao Tangbao, trying to see something from his face.
Unfortunately, little Tangbao blinked his big eyes with clear black and white, and his naive look made it impossible for her to tell the difference.
However, for some reason, the more this happened, the more guilty she felt.
She naturally knew that both the embroidered handkerchief and the purse were given away intentionally by her.
The prince of the Marquis's mansion, Zhai Ruyu, agreed to marry her as his concubine.
Zhuo Yishu, the eldest son of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion, agreed to cancel the engagement after returning home and officially marry her as his legal wife.
However, she also understood that both of them might not be able to convince the elders in the family to agree.
No matter which one breaks his promise, he will feel guilty towards her and will be her helper for the rest of his life.
As for the Su family, since her uncle is so optimistic about the Su family, she doesn't mind having an extra helper.
But now——
Ye Mingyan secretly glanced at Old Lady Su.
Mrs. Su's face was calm, seemingly expressionless, yet she seemed to understand something.
"Tang Bao is right. It is indeed inappropriate for a girl's belongings to fall into the hands of outsiders. If it gets out, people will think that Miss Ye had a secret transaction with someone else, which will ruin Miss Ye's reputation. Miss Ye should come back earlier, or tell your aunt." Old Mrs. Su said in a gentle voice.
Ye Mingyan's head buzzed and he felt extremely embarrassed for a moment.
She had never experienced the feeling of being stripped of her clothes in her entire life.
Su Xiaoliu touched his head and asked in confusion: "How could it be such a coincidence? They picked up all the things Miss Ye lost? Aren't the things used by wealthy families very particular? These young masters actually use the things they found..."
Before Su Xiaoliu could finish her words, Ye Mingyan could no longer stand.
His face turned red, as if it was about to bleed.
"I, I'll go find someone to get it back..."
Ye Mingyan spoke haltingly, turned around and walked back quickly.
It looked like he was almost running away.
Little Tangbao looked at his sixth brother with admiration.
"What's wrong, sister?" Su Xiaoliu asked in confusion.
"It's okay, I just think Sixth Brother is awesome!"
Little Tangbao gave his sixth brother a thumbs up.
Su Xiaoliu was praised by her sister and smiled happily with her white teeth showing.
Although, he didn't know why his sister suddenly praised him.
Old Mrs. Su shook her head and laughed.
This silly son!
