After Hua Fushu took a bath and had dinner, he listened to Sanqiao talking about comic strips, while Ye Zelin went to talk to Yu Xuanji about the case.
When he returned, it was already quiet, but he saw Sanqiao still there, so he said, "Sanqiao, I asked someone to prepare a room for you, it's right next door. It's getting late, you should go and rest first."
Sanqiao was a little bewildered: "Sir, I... was just telling the girl about the comic strip."
Ye Zelin glanced at the comic book in her hand and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm going to bed."
Sanqiao looked at Hua Fushu, then at Ye Zelin, and couldn't help blushing, and hurried out of the room.
Hua Fushu was listening with great interest and was unwilling to give up. He wanted to go find Sanqiao, but was stopped by someone: "Where are you going?"
Hua Fushu pushed his hand away: "I'm sleeping with Qiao'er, I haven't heard enough."
Ye Zelin said hurriedly: "Sleep with me."
Hua Fushu thought he had misheard: "What?"
Ye Zelin suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly explained: "Sister Fushu, please don't misunderstand me. That's not what I meant. I meant..."
Hua Fushu interrupted him, looked at him with a sweet smile and said, "What do you mean, sir? Don't you want to have a good time with me?"
Ye Zelin's face flushed immediately, and he said hurriedly: "Sister Fushu, I really didn't mean that."
Hua Fushu was delighted and became playful: "So, what do you mean?"
As she spoke, she threw him a wink.
Ye Zelin hurriedly retreated, the candlelight flickering, and his ears were stained crimson. But the next moment, his expression returned to normal, and he said in a cold voice: "Sister Fushu, please respect yourself!"
Hua Fushu was still determined to tease him, "What if I don't respect myself?"
As he said that, he was about to undress Ye Zelin.
She just didn't believe that Ye Zelin was a serious gentleman!
How can you not be tempted when you see beauty in front of you?
Ye Zelin hurriedly brushed her hand away, disgust in his eyes: "Hua Fushu, do you have any sense of propriety and shame? Which girl in the Tong family is as frivolous and shameless as you!"
Hua Fushu was not angry at all. Instead, he rolled his eyes and made a face at him, "I just have no shame."
After saying that, he left the room and went to look for Sanqiao.
Sanqiao was right next door, so she naturally heard everything Hua Fushu had just said. She said, "Young lady, you know who the young master is. He's gentle as jade, but underneath he's serious as can be. Why tease him?"
"I just feel like he's not genuine in front of me, he's so artificial. He can be all talk and laughter with Fox Eyes, but he's all serious with me. He can tell Fox Eyes he'd risk his life for me, but he's just so picky and disgusted with me. I'm his wife, the one he married into his family in a grand ceremony, yet he treats me like an outsider."
Hua Fushu poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Look, I won't tear off his hypocritical mask."
Sanqiao shook her head helplessly. Her daughter was a troublesome person and would feel uncomfortable unless she did something.
Ye Zelin did not sleep all night, but Hua Fushu was able to sleep until dawn.
The next day, Ye Zelin went to find Yu Xuanji early in the morning.
Sanqiao walked up to Hua Fushu holding an account book and asked, "Miss, what are you going to do with this account book? If you keep it in our hands, it might arouse Master Ye's suspicion."
This account book is the one that Bai Yanlang, Yu Xuanji and others have been looking for. It records how much money Cai Yuanchang has extorted from the people, and his various evil deeds such as corruption, bribery, and human trafficking. Each of these crimes can get him beheaded.
It was just an accident that the account book fell into her hands.
That day, she saw someone following Mr. Cheng, and out of curiosity she followed him, but she met her archenemy, her uncle-master, Bai Yanlang.
Her master was the daughter of a wealthy family in Luoyang. Bai Yanlang rebelled out of greed for money and massacred her master's family. He also colluded with Luoyang official Han Tuizhi to hastily close the case. She promised her master that she would kill Bai Yanlang to pay tribute to the spirits of the Mei family in heaven.
This account book was handed to her by Mr. Cheng before he died. She still remembered Mr. Cheng's words: "Miss, please do me a favor and hand this account book to Yu Xuanji, the Minister of Justice."
Hua Fushu took the account book and flipped through it casually: "It is fate that the account book fell into my hands. How can I bear to give it away for nothing? However, Master Cheng asked me to send it to the rightful owner."
After closing the account book, I had an idea in my mind.
Sanqiao asked, "What do you want to do, girl?"
Hua Fushu smiled sweetly: "Give the account book to Yu Xuanji, lure the snake out of its hole, and kill with a borrowed knife. It's both safe and secure, so why not do it?"
Bai Yanlang wants this account book, and Yu Xuanji also wants it. If she gives the account book to Yu Xuanji and then spreads the news, Bai Yanlang will get the news and will definitely come to seize the account book. By using Yu Xuanji's power to kill Bai Yanlang, she can not only ensure her own safety, but also avenge her master.
Anyway, Yu Xuanji is also trying to capture Bai Yanlang, so helping him is also helping herself.
Of course, she couldn't give the account book to Yu Xuanji personally, so she had to give it to him in the name of someone else, and this someone else was naturally Mei Zong.
Yu Xuanji's men went to Qinzhou. I think he already knew that Mei Zong had begun to deal with the matter of Bai Yanlang pretending to be Mei Zong's men and interfering in Cheng Wenbo's affairs. It was reasonable for him to send the account book to Yu Xuanji in the name of Mei Zong.
Sanqiao immediately went to do the job, and it was already afternoon when Yu Xuanji received the account book.
He was analyzing the case with Ye Zelin and Lao Qiao when Yu Chisu came in holding a wooden box. She said, "Uncle, someone has a gift for you."
Yu Xuanji looked over and saw that there was indeed a gift in Yu Chisu's hand. She asked, "Who gave it to you?"
