Chapter 361 The Time Has Come (Update 1)
Ye Shixian's mind was spinning wildly, thinking about where Shaoyao might have gone.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat.
“Ye family!”
Hong Tao was stunned: "What did you say?"
The more Ye Shixian thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible.
"Quick! Go to the Ye family immediately!"
This Ye family naturally refers to the Ye Mansion in Liuwan Lane.
Hong Tao didn't understand, but seeing Ye Shixian's reaction, she realized something: "You mean, she might have gone there? But..."
How is this possible?
Everyone knows that the Ye family has split. Ye Shixian and Ye Chutang have long since fallen out. Although the two sides are related, they are worse than strangers.
Especially the death of Gao, which completely put the two families in an enemy position. It is not an exaggeration to say that they regard each other as enemies.
Shaoyao is Ye Shixian's personal maid. Even if she wants to run away, she won't run to Ye Chutang.
Seeing that she didn't move, Ye Shixian glared at her fiercely: "What are you still standing there for! Prepare the car immediately!"
Hong Tao was startled and took a step back, but seeing that Ye Shixian was very emotional, she had to suppress her disgust and responded in a low voice.
"Yes, I will do it right away."
Hong Tao walked out quickly, sneering secretly in her heart.
This Ye Shixian thinks she is a rich lady and acts so bossy!
She is just a woman that the young master keeps outside because he is too proud of himself for a while. She is not even a concubine, yet she thinks of herself as the master!
The young master probably doesn't know that although Ye Shixian appears gentle and docile on the surface, she is actually a shrew at heart.
When the young master gets tired of her, seeing that she has no father or brother and lives under someone else's roof, will he still dare to act so arrogantly?
…
Ye Shixian didn't dare to delay and headed to Ye Mansion as quickly as possible.
Her heart was in her throat all the way, and when she finally saw the familiar intersection of Liuwan Lane, she realized that her back was already wet.
She got off the carriage. The autumn wind blew, and the chill instantly swept through her body, making her shiver.
At this time, the door of the Ye Mansion was closed, and it looked very deserted.
But this is not difficult to understand. Rumors have been rampant in the past few days, and many people believe that Ye Chutang killed Gao. If they were not afraid of the two backers behind her, I'm afraid someone would have come to her house to curse and make trouble.
Ye Shixian took a deep breath, tried her best to look calm, and raised her chin towards Hong Tao.
"Go knock on the door."
Hong Tao was very unhappy, but she didn't say much. She walked forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened a crack and a servant stuck his head out.
Seeing a stranger, he was stunned: "You are looking for——"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Ye Shixian standing behind him and his face froze.
Ye Shixian seemed not to notice his reaction and said directly: "I'm here to find Ye Chutang."
…
"She's here?"
Ye Chutang was sorting the dried medicinal herbs into different categories in the house. Xiaowu was sitting beside him, grunting as he turned the medicine mill.
It was a mini version that Ye Chutang had specially customized for her. She used her two little fleshy hands to hold the rods on both sides of the roller and worked very hard.
"Just say I'm busy and don't have time to see her, and let her go back."
The servant replied, "Yes."
It's normal for the two families not to see each other after such a quarrel.
But when he relayed this to Ye Shixian, he found that the other party's reaction was extremely strong.
"Go tell her! If she doesn't see me today, I will wait here forever!"
The servant was scolded, but Ye Shixian was determined, so he could only report back to Ye Chutang helplessly.
Ye Chutang came to Xiaowu's side, leaned over to look into the medicine grinder, and smiled:
"The strength is even, good. I'll just have to grind the powder a little finer."
Xiaowu looked up, and a big smile bloomed on his rosy little face.
——Okay!
The servant was in a dilemma and could only persuade her: "Second Miss, why don't you go meet her? Otherwise, if she stays there all the time and is seen by others, I don't know what she will do to you..."
Ye Chutang then raised his head and said with a half-smile: "Can it be possible that if I let her in, I can immediately change my reputation?"
The servant was speechless.
What the second young lady said was absolutely correct. Because of Gao's matter, the second young lady had been badly scolded by those people outside recently.
What's missing from today's episode?
Then the servant retreated obediently, and this time his attitude towards Ye Shixian was much tougher.
"Our second young lady said she's busy, so that means she's busy. If you're willing to wait, you can just set up a tent here!"
Ye Shixian was almost furious.
Hong Tao saw that she looked pale and went forward to support her.
By now, some people have noticed this place, and some even want to watch the fun and come over little by little.
Although I was just watching from a distance, the gossipy and excited look in his eyes was really unsettling.
Hong Tao had never felt so embarrassed before, and couldn't help but whispered, "Miss, why don't we go back first? Maybe they have found the person already?"
Ye Shixian's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she refused to move at all.
"She won't see me, there must be something wrong!"
Maybe that bitch Shaoyao is hiding here now!
If she doesn't keep her mouth shut and says something she shouldn't...
Hong Tao really didn't understand why Ye Shixian was so stubborn, and why she was so sure that Shaoyao must be here, but she couldn't force Ye Shixian away, and in the end she could only wait with Ye Shixian with an embarrassed face.
But in fact, Ye Shixian didn't wait very long, because she knew very well that if she found Shaoyao a step later, her situation would be more dangerous!
"Ye Chutang!"
Ye Shixian raised her voice,
"I'm here today to discuss my mother's affairs with you! You don't dare to open the door, it means you are guilty!"
The noise was so loud that even Ye Chutang in the house heard it.
She found it somewhat funny.
Still need theory?
Hadn't we already thrown dirty water on her before? Why are we doing it again now?
"She is truly a filial daughter." Ye Chutang sighed.
Xiaowu stopped, looked up at her, and pointed at the medicine grinder proudly.
——Look, sister! I've finished grinding it!
Ye Chutang stretched out his hand and rubbed it, then smiled and said, "Not bad."
Xiaowu was praised and felt even more proud. He put the contents of the medicine grinder into the bottle and took two more plants from the side, intending to continue his success.
"Don't worry about that for now."
Ye Chutang stopped her action.
Xiaowu blinked, somewhat confused.
Ye Chutang scratched her pretty little nose.
"As a reward, I'll take you to see a good show."
Xiaowu naturally had no objection.
Ye Chutang took her to wash her hands and carefully wiped her little hands with a towel.
The servant is here again.
"Second Miss, Ye Shixian is really going too far! Look at this——"
Ye Chutang glanced out the window. It was already evening. The sun was setting in the west, spreading large patches of red and orange across the sky, like a raging fire.
She suddenly asked, "At this time, the people in the government office should be leaving, right?"
