Chapter 352: It’s better to ask my sister-in-law for help than to ask my brother for help (Part 3)
Shaoyao's heart skipped a beat.
"To answer the eldest lady, it has been nine years."
She was sold to the Ye family when she was young and grew up with Ye Shixian.
Ye Shixian seemed to be lost in memories: "It's been so long... I remember that you have an uncle in your family?"
Shaoyao was sweating coldly, her lips turned pale: "Yes, yes..."
Ye Shixian paused, and suddenly said: "You haven't been back for a long time, do you want to go back and take a look?"
Shaoyao panicked: "Miss! If I did something wrong, you can punish me, but please don't chase me away!"
Her parents died early, and she has been raised in her uncle's house since she can remember.
Her aunt thought she was a burden and treated her very harshly. Not only did she have to wash clothes and cook at such a young age, she was also often beaten.
She once went to her uncle to cry and complain, but her uncle turned a blind eye. Later, when she was older, he sold her outright.
She had finally managed to get the position of Ye Shixian's personal maid and thought she was living a good life. However, the good times didn't last long and something happened to the Ye family again!
If she goes back now, what good will happen to her?
Ye Shixian frowned and said impatiently: "This is a good thing, why are you crying?"
Shaoyao bit her lips tightly, her tears bitter.
"I am yours, please don't abandon me!"
Ye Shixian was annoyed by her: "Okay!"
The water temperature was just right. Ye Shixian picked up the white handkerchief in the water, wrung it out, and wiped it carefully on her face.
Shaoyao knelt there until Ye Shixian washed her face, changed her clothes and went into the inner room to rest, then she finally heard a voice: "You can go down."
Shaoyao quickly responded and stood up to pour out the basin of water.
The water has gone cold.
There was no more sound coming from inside. Ye Shixian should have fallen asleep, but Shaoyao stood outside the door, unable to calm down for a long time.
The moonlight was shining, and the shadows of the trees in the courtyard were swaying like ghosts. The coolness spread from the soles of her feet, along her spine to the back of her head, making Shaoyao shiver.
She couldn't help but look to the left - that was where Gao lived before her death.
I don’t know what she remembered, but a deep fear flashed in Shaoyao’s eyes.
…
On the second day, the news of this dispute and farce quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
Some are skeptical, some are curious, and some are proud.
But Gao's death did push Ye Chutang to the forefront again.
Although Gao had a bad reputation during her lifetime, death is like the extinguishing of a light, and soon people became dissatisfied with Ye Chutang, thinking that she was too harsh on her aunt's family.
Princess Qinyang was so angry that she rushed directly to Ye Mansion.
"Chu Tang! What kind of rumors are there outside now! How can you still sit still!?"
Ye Chutang was drying herbs in the yard. She had been too busy recently and had not taken care of this matter.
Now that I finally have some free time, I didn't expect Princess Qinyang to come to me again.
"I didn't do anything, what can those rumors do to me?"
Princess Qinyang stamped her feet anxiously: "No? Even if you and I know it's a rumor, they don't know it!"
What those people are saying now is so ugly!
Ye Chutang looked at her and couldn't help but smile: "Isn't Shuntian Prefecture still investigating? Once the truth comes out, I can be cleared of all charges. Why waste my energy?"
Princess Qinyang felt that she could not communicate with her at all.
"Get to the bottom of it? That's easy to say! In the middle of the night, with no witnesses or physical evidence, what can we find out?"
With her status, it was easy for her to understand the case, so she knew very well how difficult it was to solve.
Ye Chutang paused: "Even if a goose passes by, it will leave traces. There is something strange about Gao's death. The truth will not be buried."
Princess Qinyang wanted to say something, but when she saw her calm and composed expression, she was startled.
She looked around and asked in a low voice, "Why, are you sure?"
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "There are still a few days left, so please wait a while, Princess."
Hearing her say this, Princess Qinyang had no choice but to agree: "Okay! I'll listen to you!"
She kicked a stone away from her feet out of boredom. "But then again, this family is like possessed by evil spirits. Accidents keep happening one after another. The only pity is that Ye Heng has been exiled. If he knew what happened here, ugh."
I don’t know how exciting it will be.
Ye Chutang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Calculating the time, he should be almost in Tongbei now, right?"
Princess Qinyang chuckled, "Tongbei is located at the border, it is desolate and cold. In previous years, it would snow in October, and the weather was freezing. He was exiled for committing a serious crime, and he will probably suffer a lot."
She glanced at Ye Chutang.
In this way, it can be considered as getting back some of the grievances that they, the siblings, suffered in the past.
Princess Qinyang rolled her eyes and changed the subject: "I don't know when my brother will come back. He was in Changzhou for a long time this time."
Ye Chutang continued fiddling with the herbs in his hand, and said without raising his head, "It should be ready soon."
Princess Qinyang's eyes lit up: "How do you know! Do you miss him - cough! Do you also want him to come back soon? The autumn hunt is coming soon, and my brother is very good at riding and shooting! But he has not been in the capital in the past few years, and I haven't even had the chance to take a look at him. If he is willing to make a move this time, then we will be in for a treat!"
As she spoke, she smacked her lips and said, "Every year, the one who gets first place in hunting will be rewarded with many things by His Majesty! In particular, he will give an extra reward of roasted venison that he personally cuts! It tastes amazing!"
Compared to deliciousness, the glory and grace it symbolizes are what are most desirable.
Ye Chutang finally stopped what he was doing, looking thoughtful.
Princess Qinyang came over and said secretly, "It's really delicious! My father won once before, and it was so delicious! How about you go and persuade my brother?"
Ye Chutang turned his head: "Me?"
"yes!"
Princess Qinyang was confident and righteous.
"He doesn't listen to me, but he will definitely listen to you! You are his savior! As long as you say you want to eat, will he still say anything?"
Ye Chutang nodded.
Princess Qinyang was delighted, but the next moment, she heard Ye Chutang say, "He really doesn't listen to you."
Princess Qinyang: "..."
Is it necessary to repeat this a second time? It’s good enough that she knows it in her heart!
But since she had to ask for help, Princess Qinyang still endured it. She blinked and said, "So, you agree?"
Ye Chutang always felt that the tone of her question was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it. After thinking for a moment, he agreed.
"If you want to eat it, I'll try to ask him later, but he may not agree."
Shen Yanchuan is probably too lazy to join in the fun.
Princess Qinyang's eyes sparkled: "It's a deal!"
She had begged her brother several times, but he never paid any attention. This year was different, she found help!
She has already realized it.
——It’s better to ask my sister-in-law for help than my brother!
