The former eunuch (36)

Seeing Chouniao's sad face, Jiang Ye felt a little depressed for some reason.

Escaping from the wolf's den was not as joyful as he had imagined.

There is only peace, and even a little sadness from time to time.

Because even if he escapes, he will never get back what he lost, such as his self-esteem.

That should be the case, Jiang Ye comforted himself.

After traveling for several days, Jiang Ye finally brought Tuan Tuan back to Xiaoma Village and found the home in his memory.

Standing in front of a three-story building, Jiang Ye frowned and fell into deep self-doubt.

Is this his home?

In the remote and poor countryside, every household lives in a house made of mud.

As I recall, his house was also made of mud, and was even poorer than the poor villagers. The house could not block the wind or shelter from the rain, and the roof was covered with straw mats.

But now, the original location of his home looked like the mansions of those dignitaries in the capital. Not only was it three stories high, but the exterior also appeared to be built of high-quality wood... It was completely out of place in this countryside.

Just when Jiang Ye was hesitating whether to knock on the door and enter the house, a fellow villager happened to pass by on the side of the road, carrying a hoe.

When the man saw Jiang Ye, he remembered who he was and immediately came forward to greet him.

"Xiao Ye, you are Xiao Ye, right? I am Daniu. It's been a long time since we last met..."

The strong man came up and tried to get close to him, but Jiang Ye was confused and responded politely.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Ye simply asked directly, "What happened to this piece of land? Why did my house become like this?"

"Ah, you don't know yet? It was because of you that the emperor ordered people to repair your house a few months ago. Not only did he give your parents a large sum of money, he also brought the best doctor in the palace to treat your mother..."

"The Emperor is so kind to you. This is a great honor... The villagers are extremely jealous and wish they had a son who could serve in the palace."

After listening to what the other party said, Jiang Ye's pale lips opened in surprise. He forgot to speak and was stunned.

How many months ago?

Looking back, a few months ago, he fell ill after taking a cold shower, which made Jun Chen unhappy and he got angry.

In order to calm Jun Chen's anger, he mentioned that his family was poor and his mother was seriously ill in bed with no money for treatment...

At that time, Jun Chen replied——

"What does your family affairs have to do with me? Even if your parents are dead, you must serve me wholeheartedly and not neglect me."

At that time, he still thought Jun Chen was selfish and cold-hearted, and cursed Jun Chen inside and out.

However, he didn't expect that not long after he mentioned this matter, Jun Chen sent people to repair his house, gave him money, and even directly called the highest doctor to treat his mother.

After figuring all this out, Jiang Ye's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

The dog emperor...is saying one thing and thinking another.

"Thank you... Go home and do your work first, we'll talk later."

After saying goodbye to his fellow villagers, Jiang Ye stood in front of his house and knocked on the door.

After knocking for a while and no one answered, Jiang Ye pushed the door tentatively, and unexpectedly, the door opened.

He walked into the house and called out to his parents a few times, but again no one responded.

"Brother Ye, look, there is a letter on the table. This must be a clue!" The fat bird Tuantuan on Jiang Ye's shoulder made a sound excitedly and flapped its wings excitedly.

Jiang Ye's eyes fell on the letter paper on the table, his expression changed, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.

Walking forward, Jiang Ye picked up the letter and read it word by word.

——Aye, your parents don’t want to let you down…

——It’s just that the emperor sent someone to say that this house and the money last time were both betrothal gifts. Since we have accepted the betrothal gifts, we cannot refuse to pay the bill. He insisted on sending us to the capital, saying that he wanted to honor us well.

——Your mother received a lot of gold and silver jewelry, rouge and powder, and said that it seems that the emperor is interested in you... She asked you to come back to Beijing to find us.
