Chapter 554: A Wan (Part 2)
Lian Zhou immediately responded: "Yes!"
Fan Chengzhuo wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally had to give up in disappointment.
Shen Yanchuan didn't seem interested in staying any longer and turned to leave.
…
Outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice.
A carriage stopped quietly at the entrance of the street.
Ye Chutang handed the black cloak back to Chen Yanchuan.
Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Thank you very much."
Xiaowu sat in the carriage, tilting his head as if thinking about something.
——Crown Prince looks very happy! It can be seen that this cloak is really important to him! It turned out to be the right trip!
Ye Chutang shook his head and said with a double meaning: "The prince has a deep friendship with me, so this little favor is nothing."
Shen Yanchuan's eyes fell on her face, examining her carefully.
There were so many people around just now that he didn't have time to ask more questions.
"Do you like that gift?"
Ye Chutang chuckled and nodded: "It is a gift from the prince, of course I like it very much."
The stone in Chen Yanchuan's heart finally fell.
"That's good."
The two of them suddenly fell silent at the same time, as if they were shrouded by an invisible aura and no one could get close to them.
In the silence, a subtle ambiguity and awkwardness quietly grew.
Ye Chutang coughed lightly and said, "Then we will go back first. You don't have to see us off, Prince."
Shen Yanchuan said nothing.
Ye Chutang tilted his head slightly: "Prince?"
Chen Yanchuan looked at her and chuckled.
"I'm so glad you could come tonight."
Ye Chutang's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Although the night was dark, it still couldn't conceal the eagerness in Shen Yanchuan's eyes.
So clear, the intention is obvious.
Whoosh—bang!
Ye Chutang turned around and saw a gorgeous and grand firework blooming in the dark night sky.
Then came the second and the third.
Countless brilliant colors came one after another, extremely warm.
A deep and elegant voice came from behind——
"Happy birthday."
Ye Chutang was suddenly in a trance for a moment.
She was quiet for a long time.
Chen Yanchuan sensed something was wrong and was about to ask when he heard Ye Chutang whisper:
"My father would do the same on his birthday in the past."
Shen Yanchuan was slightly startled.
Ye Chutang seemed to be lost in distant memories.
"He always said that daughters need to be pampered when they grow up, so my brother, Yan, and Feng don't have any. Only I will be treated with special favor on every birthday."
She tilted her head and smiled, her eyes falling on Xiaowu, who was looking up at the fireworks with a happy face.
"Later, Xiaowu was added, but unfortunately she didn't have any memory of it at that time."
By the time she was able to remember, everything had already vanished into thin air.
Even Ye Chutang was almost forgetting those scenes.
Shen Yanchuan's lips moved slightly.
Ye Chutang seldom talked about the past. Everyone knew that she returned to Beijing with her younger brothers and sisters after three years of wandering and successfully took back everything that originally belonged to them.
She is thriving in this capital city.
Anyone who sees it will find it extremely wonderful and will be amazed.
But no one knows how she got through those three years.
After a moment, Chen Yanchuan said:
"Lord Ye is honest and upright. He is willing to do this for you. It shows that he loves you very much."
Ye Chutang suddenly turned around and looked.
"Chen Yanchuan."
Chen Yanchuan met her gaze, and the fireworks were reflected in her eyes, shining like stars.
Somewhere deep in his heart seemed to be gently brushed by a soft feather, and his voice unconsciously became gentler.
"Um?"
"I'll tell you a secret."
Ye Chutang smiled, his eyebrows and eyes curved.
"My parents and brother used to call me by my nickname."
"Ah Wan."
…
Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
Yun Cheng stood in the courtyard, looking towards the study, thoughtful.
Lian Zhou happened to come back and he immediately waved to him.
Lian Zhou came over with a bewildered look on his face: "What's wrong?"
Yun Cheng quickly signaled him to lower his voice and pointed towards the study.
"Nothing else happened in the Ministry of Justice today?"
Lian Zhou was very confused: "No! Didn't I tell you everything when I came back just now?"
Yun Cheng touched his chin: "That's not right..."
Lian Zhou was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
He looked around and everything was no different from usual. Why did Yun Cheng react like this?
Yun Cheng lowered his voice: "The master is not asleep yet."
"..." Lian Zhou was speechless, "Isn't this normal?"
There is no rule that the master cannot stay up late, right?
Yun Cheng looked at him with a mysterious look and reminded him, "But the master didn't try the assassins either."
"That's not—"
Lian Zhou paused, then came to his senses belatedly.
yes!
According to the master's previous habits, tonight's affairs have come to an end. Either he returns home to recuperate, or he is interrogated overnight.
But now, he did nothing?
Lian Zhou also crossed his arms and fell into deep thought: "Why is this?"
"Isn't that what I'm asking you?"
Yun Cheng was speechless.
"You were the first one to go there, and you came back with me, didn't you know?"
Lian Zhou felt that what he said seemed to be right and began to think hard.
"Are you wondering who sent these assassins? No, as usual, you should just ask directly. There's no need to think about it for so long. So... what are you dealing with?"
Yun Cheng looked at the dark study room and slowly raised his eyebrows: "Do you really think so?"
Lian Zhou: "...It doesn't seem so."
There wasn't even a candle lit, and the room was completely silent. If I hadn't heard that his breathing was not as normal as usual, I would have thought he had fallen asleep.
"So the master is now alone in the study, doing nothing and not sleeping." Yun Cheng was puzzled, "The master hasn't been like this for many years, right?"
Lian Zhou thought for a while and nodded.
He repeatedly recalled the scenes that happened in the Ministry of Justice, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "Right! The master originally planned to send Miss Ye back to the Ye Mansion, and also took Miss Ye to see the fireworks that had been prepared in advance. I saw from afar that Miss Ye seemed quite happy. I don't know what she said to the master later..."
"Master, didn't you go to see him off?" Yun Cheng was skeptical.
"That's not the case." Lian Zhou shook his head. "He followed the Ye family's carriage and only came back after seeing them enter the mansion."
Yun Cheng had an expression that said, "I knew that a long time ago." "That's what I guessed... So after coming back, the master went straight into the study and never came out again. Moreover, he hasn't slept for such a long time. Could it be that Miss Ye Er said something excessive?"
"I can't?"
Lian Zhou thought it was unlikely.
“Is it too much to reject someone?”
Yun Cheng was shocked. "What? She refused. How could this be possible? She rushed into the prison of the Ministry of Justice tonight to save her master regardless of her own life!"
"I'm just giving an example." Lian Zhou waved his hands, "Why else could it be? It can't be that Miss Ye agreed and the master is so happy that he can't sleep--"
Lian Zhou suddenly shut his mouth.
Yuncheng retreats tactically.
The two looked at each other, and the air became quieter.
A bland voice suddenly came from the study, breaking the silence.
"If you feel too busy, you two can go to the trial together."
