Chapter 1079: Silencing (4)
However, Ye Mei had been reminded by Ye Ke before. She knew that Ye Maocai had hung a painting of a beauty in his study. There seemed to be something fishy about the painting of a beauty. It contained what Ye Maocai called "an important thing". Now that Ye Maocai had been taken away and Ye Ke had no hope of promotion, this thing could only be kept here forever.
Because everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was in a state of panic, and no one was outside the study, Ye Mei entered with ease. She quickly found the painting of the beauty. The painting was hanging on the wall opposite Ye Maocai's desk. Ye Mei walked over and felt around for a while, only to find that the painting was perfectly smooth and there was nothing wrong with it.
How did Ye Ke discover it?
Ye Mei, unwilling to give up, searched again diligently, but still found nothing. Disheartened, she suspected Ye Maocai had moved the item in the painting somewhere else. Ye Mei's anger was directed at the painting of the beauty, and she glanced at it with disapproval, only to notice something was amiss with the woman depicted.
The beauty in the painting stood beneath a peach tree, cup in hand, smiling faintly, her cheeks flushed, a look of shyness, perhaps overwhelmed by the alcohol. Her eyes, however, were cold and unsmiling, their glittering brightness creating the illusion of lifelikeness, a chill running down one's spine.
Ye Mei's heart paused, and she suddenly reached out to touch the eyes of the beauty in the painting. Sure enough, there was a hard bulge where her fingers touched. She pressed hard, but heard a "pop". The part of the wall where the beauty painting was hung suddenly dented. She was excited and reached in to pull out an iron box.
The box should contain what Ye Ke said was Ye Maocai's precious thing. After Ye Mei got the thing, she did not stop and turned to go out.
At this moment, the study door suddenly creaked open. Ye Mei was startled and saw Ye Hongguang pushing his wheelchair in.
Seeing Ye Mei, Ye Hongguang was also stunned: "Big sister?"
Ye Hongguang is very worried today.
All the servants in the mansion were in a state of panic. This disabled young master had a low status in the mansion. Normally, he had Ye Maocai to protect him, so he wouldn't be treated too harshly. But once Ye Maocai left, Madam Ye no longer took him seriously, and the servants ignored him even less. There was not even anyone to push his wheelchair.
Ye Hongguang was also very worried about Ye Maocai, but there was no one in the mansion who would talk to him. In great sorrow, he could only push his wheelchair to Ye Maocai's study, as if the study still contained the aura of Ye Maocai, making him feel that he was still the young master of the Ye family who was blessed by his father.
Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the study, he would actually see Ye Mei.
"Big sister, why are you here?" Ye Hongguang asked.
Ye Mei was still holding the iron box in her hand. When she saw that it was Ye Hongguang who came in, she was relieved and smiled, "Oh, my father asked me to come here to find some things for him and give them to him when he returned from the palace. I saw that the servants in the mansion were busy, so I came here to look for them myself."
"What is this?" Ye Hongguang's eyes fell on the box in Ye Mei's arms: "Is this the box that Big Sister is holding?"
Ye Mei smiled and said, "That's right." She added, "Third brother, are you here to look for something too? Then I won't bother you. I'll leave this room to you. Take your time looking." She was about to leave, and just as she was about to step over Ye Hongguang's wheelchair, she heard Ye Hongguang suddenly say, "Big sister, don't you know that Dad never lets women into his study?"
Ye Mei paused and stopped in her tracks.
