Chapter 346 Where (Part 1)
Ye Shixian's blood was boiling and her vision was darkening.
Countless curses were stuck in my throat, but it seemed as if something was blocking me and I couldn't utter a single word.
Even if she thought about it to the extreme, she could never have imagined that Ye Yunfeng was actually waiting for her here!
And what he said - in the whole capital, aren't they the siblings who want to take advantage of others' misfortunes the most? How dare he act so hypocritically!
Her nails dug into her flesh, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "This is my home! Who are you to control it!"
Ye Yunfeng blinked and asked curiously, "Ah? Isn't this Murong Ye's house? Has he already given you the title deed?"
There is nothing more murderous and heartbreaking than this.
Everyone in the capital knew that Ye Heng’s house had been ransacked, and Ye Shixian and Gao were kicked out of the house. They had nowhere to go, and only had a place to stay thanks to Murong Ye’s help.
Even a fool knows what he is doing.
But knowing it is one thing, but saying it out loud like this is extremely unpleasant.
——After all, Ye Shixian is still waiting to be married, so what does it mean for her to accept Murong Ye’s kindness, take his money, and live in his house?
There is no difference between it and a mistress.
It's just that most people are wary of Murong Ye's family background and would not offend him for such gossip. Even if there are a lot of gossips behind his back, they would tacitly not mention it to his face.
Ye Yunfeng's question simply lifted the veil!
If the hard approach doesn’t work, you have to use the soft approach.
Ye Shixian's tears flowed freely, her eyes reddened. "This is indeed not my house, but my mother and I lived here, so this is my home. Now that she's dead, are you forcing me like this?!"
These words were very beautiful, and anyone with a soft heart would feel sympathy for her upon hearing them.
Unfortunately, Ye Yunfeng doesn't buy it. His nerves are sometimes thicker than hemp ropes.
"What do you mean?" Ye Yunfeng spread his hands, looking very innocent. "I only said that this house is not yours. I didn't say that you are not Second Aunt's daughter!"
Someone in the crowd who came to watch the fun chuckled softly and quickly disappeared.
Ye Yunfeng pointed inside and said, "I just thought that you are the only relative around Second Aunt now. If something happens to her, you will definitely not be able to handle it by yourself, so I am not in a hurry to come here."
He sounded extremely enthusiastic. If you didn't know, you would think he had a very good relationship with Ye Shixian's family.
Ye Shixian couldn't help but want to take out the knife: "You!"
"A Feng."
Ye Chutang got off the carriage and called him softly,
"Shi Xian is very sad, please be careful with your words and don't offend her."
Ye Yunfeng saw her and quickly stepped forward to explain: "Sister, how could this be offensive? We all know Second Aunt's temper. Why would she suddenly commit suicide out of the blue? I think there must be something wrong here!"
He crossed his arms, thinking, "Second Uncle's case implicated many people. Who knows if one of them was so angry that he committed such a murder!"
Ye Shixian really didn't know how he could say that.
Looking at the entire capital, the people who have the deepest hatred towards them are just these few people in front of them!
Ye Jingyan patted Ye Yunfeng on the shoulder and said, "You mean well, but if you mess things up, it will be bad. Fortunately, my sister has asked Shaoyao to report to the authorities, and the people from Shuntian Prefecture should be here soon."
These words made Ye Yunfeng feel much more at ease, and he nodded vigorously immediately.
"Don't worry! I've been here for a while. During this time, no one is allowed to enter or leave the house. I guarantee that no one with ulterior motives will have a chance to take advantage of me!"
Ye Chutang nodded: "Then we won't go in yet, just wait here."
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
I've seen people looking for trouble, but I've never seen people looking for trouble in the opposite way!
Didn't Ye Shixian just accuse Ye Chutang of forcing her mother to death? How come the situation has reversed now, and Ye Chutang and his men are blocking the door of Ye Shixian's house?
Ye Shixian looked at the siblings and was extremely angry.
She quickly reviewed the whole thing in her mind to make sure there were no loopholes left, then she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
In any case, her mother was indeed hanged, and she also left behind this letter written in blood. Even if the government officials came to investigate, they would not be able to find anything!
By then, Ye Chutang will definitely not be able to escape the blame for forcing his aunt to death!
This alone could completely ruin her!
From now on in this capital, don’t say that Yunlai Tavern was opened by her, and don’t say that she has the support of the Princess’ Mansion and the Dingbei Marquis’ Mansion, her reputation is completely ruined!
Success or failure depends on today!
Ye Shixian closed her eyes, then turned to face the door and knelt down straight.
"Mom! I will definitely ask for an explanation for you today!"
As she finished speaking, hot tears slid down and silently sank into her clothes.
This scene is really heartbreaking to watch.
Ye Yunfeng simply couldn't bear to watch: "Her mother died, and she didn't go to take care of the funeral. She actually had the energy to act so hypocritically?"
Ye Chutang said: "After all, they are biological mother and daughter, how can they not be sad? It is normal for them to cry."
Ye Yunfeng hummed softly.
He had seen many people whose parents and relatives had died before. Some cried bitterly, some stood there numbly, and even during famines, when victims fell down one after another along the way, some people did not react at all and just dug a hole to bury the bodies.
But he had never seen anyone like Ye Shixian. Her mother died, but she did nothing. Instead, she went to make trouble with a blood letter and refused to report to the police.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.
Everyone looked back and someone shouted, "People from Shuntian Prefecture are coming!"
A group of officers and soldiers came quickly, and there was also a man in official uniform who looked hurried.
Ye Jingyan whispered, "Fifth-rank official uniform, this is the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Zhang Qian."
Ye Chutang nodded.
No one heard what he said, and naturally no one noticed that he was just a fourteen-year-old student of the Imperial College, but he was so familiar with the officials in various government offices in the capital.
Even though I had never seen him before, I could already guess his identity just by looking at his clothes.
The crowd quickly made way.
Zhang Qian saw the graceful girl behind the crowd at a glance.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickened his pace.
"Someone said a murder happened here? What exactly happened?"
Ye Chutang stepped forward and saluted: "My daughter Ye Chutang, nice to meet you, sir."
Zhang Qian's eyebrows twitched.
Of course he recognized the woman in front of him! She was so well-known!
If it was an ordinary case, there was no need for him to come out in person, but when he heard that this person was involved, his head suddenly became big and he hurriedly brought people here.
Who doesn't know who is the backer behind her?
Zhang Qian's lips were dry, and he raised his hand: "Let's skip these empty formalities and handle the case as soon as possible."
He searched around and finally saw Ye Shixian kneeling there.
"It's you, isn't it? You said Ye Chutang killed your mother, so where is her body now?"
