Chapter 132: Water leak (Part 1)
The topographic map of the entire capital city quickly emerged in Ye Chutang's mind, and he quickly determined the location of the mountain.
"Southern suburbs of the capital?"
"Yes!" Princess Qinyang didn't notice that Ye Chutang, who had only been in the capital for a few months and had hardly been out of the house, directly pointed out the location of Wulan Mountain and continued to instigate, "There are mountains everywhere, and the scenery is beautiful, and the scenery of Wulan Mountain is the most special. In this kind of weather, it is most suitable to go to the mountains to cool off!"
Ye Chutang raised his eyelids slightly and looked at her for a few times, but did not respond to her immediately.
"The princess seems to be in a bad mood today, but is there anything troubling you?"
Princess Qinyang's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal: "What could possibly bother this princess? I just feel that this capital city is too boring, so I want to find a place to relax and have some fun."
Ye Chutang had actually already vaguely guessed the answer in his heart.
"Is the princess unhappy with Master Murong again?"
The expression that Princess Qinyang had been trying to maintain finally couldn't be held tight anymore. The corners of her mouth drooped and she instantly lost her temper, but she still maintained her stubborn attitude.
"Him? We haven't seen him recently, how could there be any fuss? He's busy serving Ye Shixian's family right now!"
Anyone could hear the dissatisfaction and bitterness in her words.
The news that Ye Heng's family moved overnight had already spread widely. After Murong Ye knew about it, he had been helping.
I heard that someone saw him go to Fengling Lane.
How could Princess Qinyang not mind?
Ye Heng offended the eldest princess and was in a very embarrassing situation. Normal people would avoid him, but Murong Ye insisted on getting close to him.
After all, he is Murong Yang's son. Even if everyone looks down on Ye Heng's family, they have to give him face.
Princess Qinyang became furious when this matter was mentioned.
"Tell me, what's wrong with him? Ye Heng knew what kind of person Han Yao was, but he still insisted on marrying you to him. It's obvious that he has bad intentions! How can a daughter raised by such a father be good? I really don't know why he likes Ye Shixian? He is really blinded by greed!"
She was upset and wanted to run to Murong's house and scold him in front of Murong Ye to wake him up, but she felt that it was too embarrassing to do so. After struggling for a long time, she decided to just ignore it.
Ye Chutang listened quietly until Princess Qinyang had spoken all these words, then he raised his hand to add more tea.
"When you like something, it's always up to your heart, not your body."
Princess Qinyang waved her hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about them!"
She rolled her eyes and came closer to Ye Chutang, her eyes gleaming with gossip: "By the way, do you have someone you like?"
Ye Chutang shook his head.
Princess Qinyang didn't believe it: "Really never? Even a little bit of love would count!"
The light fragrance of tea filled the air. Ye Chutang flicked the floating leaves and smiled faintly, "I didn't have time to think about these things in the past."
Princess Qinyang thought about it and agreed. It was already very hard for Ye Chutang to raise several younger brothers and sisters, so how could he have the leisure time to do that?
but……
"The past is the past, and the present is the present!" Princess Qinyang winked at her, "It is definitely impossible for you and Han Yao to be together. There are so many good men in the capital, you have to choose carefully. If there is one you like, ask the princess to arrange a marriage for you, wouldn't it be a happy occasion for everyone?"
Ye Chutang smiled slightly.
"What the princess said is right. I have been very busy in the past few years. That is why I have no other plans now that I have a rare chance to relax."
"ah?"
Princess Qinyang wanted to give some advice, but she felt that what Ye Chutang said made sense, so she simply gave up.
I don’t know whether he was comforting Ye Chutang or convincing herself.
"That's right! There are so many new and interesting things in this world! Who says you have to focus all your attention on men?"
Ye Chutang nodded in agreement and asked:
"By the way, the princess just said, what day does the prince go to Wulan Mountain?"
Princess Qinyang: “……???”
…
Fengling Lane.
When Ye Heng and his family left here three years ago, they never thought they would come back.
After a day and a night of noise, the house finally became much quieter.
Gao was so emotional that she fainted when she entered the room. Ye Mingze complained about everything and refused to live there no matter what, and smashed everything in the room.
Ye Shixian sat in the yard, waiting until the servants had cleaned the house inside and out several times before she finally dragged her tired body in.
So much so that when she saw Murong Ye again, she looked much more haggard.
"Xian'er, have you not slept well these past two days?"
Murong Ye looked at her and felt heartbroken.
Ye Shixian originally didn't want to see him, but she also knew that at this time only Murong Ye could help.
Her eyes were red and she shook her head gently with tears in her eyes.
"I'm fine. It's mainly because my parents... they were hit so hard this time. They have always treated my cousin as their own daughter, but they never thought it would end up like this."
Murong Ye frowned, a hint of disgust flashing across his face.
"I've heard about everything. She really went too far this time! Who could have predicted what happened to Han Yao? Besides, she was just a brothel girl of humble origin. She could have been sent away at will. But she went straight to the princess to complain and took the opportunity to drive your family out. It was really too much!"
Ye Shixian lowered her head and shed tears.
"My cousin had a misunderstanding about us before, and I was thinking of finding an opportunity to talk it out, but who knew——"
Murong Ye looked around and felt even more distressed at the obviously dilapidated courtyard: "Xian'er, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult situation, but don't worry, things will turn around soon."
Ye Shixian smiled bitterly and shook her head: "This time it was the eldest princess who was angry. With her support, who would dare to act rashly? Forget it, don't worry about it. We live here anyway. As long as we don't let the eldest princess vent her anger on Daddy..."
Murong Ye said, "No. His Majesty already knew that the accident at the polo match was secretly instigated by Zhao Hanguang, and in anger, he immediately removed him from his position as Minister of the Ministry of Rites. When this case is settled, the most likely person to take his place is Han Tong. Although Han Yao caused a scandal, it is nothing compared to this. When the Han family becomes powerful, with a little help, all the troubles your family has now can be solved."
Ye Shixian really didn't know about this, and there was hope in her eyes: "Really?"
…
As night fell, the darkness became thick and no stars or moon were visible.
Inside the house, candles burned quietly.
Ye Yunfeng flipped through the book in his hand, looked up and asked, "Sister, do you want to read this?"
Ye Chutang nodded.
There was a faint, regular breathing sound coming from behind the screen.
She looked back and saw Ye Jingyan coming out: "Sister, Xiaowu is asleep."
Ye Chutang nodded: "You take care of it."
Ye Jingyan responded.
Then, Ye Chutang blew out the flickering candle.
call--
…
Half an hour later, blazing flames shot up into the sky!
Liuwan Lane was in chaos, with screams and shouts ringing out continuously.
"The fire is coming! Help come!"
