Chapter 135: Relocation of Graves (Part 1)
"The last time I went to the Ye family, I told her about this matter, and she specifically asked you when you were going to Wulan Mountain." Princess Qinyang raised her eyebrows, "But if you don't want to tell me, forget it."
Having said that, she turned and was about to leave.
A cold voice finally sounded behind him.
"Wait a minute."
…
Ye Chutang asked Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng to return to the Imperial College, and then took Xiaowu to Fengling Lane.
When I arrived at the alley entrance, I could see black smoke coming out from afar, and the air was filled with the smell of burning things.
Many people gathered outside the Ye family's door, looking around, and many of them were talking excitedly.
"Hey, what on earth has befallen the Ye family? Why do they keep getting into trouble one after another?"
"Who knows... Anyway, I think it's abnormal!"
"We just moved back and we've already gotten into so much trouble. I think we should stay away from the Ye family to avoid any bad luck!"
The Ye family has been in turmoil for some time, and it is really hard not to think too much about it.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd noticed Ye Chutang's arrival and whispered, "Isn't that Ye Chutang? Why is she here?"
For a moment, many people turned around and focused their eyes on Ye Chutang.
Everyone knows that Ye Heng's family moved back here because of Ye Chutang, and now the real culprit has appeared!
Everyone fell silent, but their eyes were still on Ye Chutang, wondering what she was doing here at this hour.
Ye Chutang ignored these looks and came to the door of Ye's house holding Xiaowu's hand.
Looking at the tightly closed door, she raised her hand and gently knocked on the doorknob.
…
Ye Heng hadn't slept all night, his beard was untidy, and he didn't have time to change his clothes. He looked much older and more haggard.
The burning house is a small matter. What’s more important is that Ye Mingze is still in a coma!
Gao stayed by Ye Mingze's bedside until her eyes were swollen from crying.
Ye Shixian had to take care of everything in the mansion, and she was so busy that she was like a taut string, not daring to relax at all.
The atmosphere in the whole mansion was stagnant and heavy. The servants dared not breathe, for fear that they would be angered if they did something wrong.
This was the scene Ye Shixian saw as soon as she stepped into the room.
"Dad, Mom."
Hearing her voice, Ye Heng finally came back to his senses, looked up at her, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Did you find out anything?"
Ye Shixian pursed her lips and shook her head.
"It looks like Mingze fell asleep and forgot to blow out the candles, so he accidentally..."
"Impossible!" Gao suddenly seemed to be greatly shocked. "How could Mingze harm himself? There must be someone! Someone must have done it secretly!"
Ye Heng had the same suspicion in his heart, but if there was no evidence, everything would be in vain.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Gao couldn't help but feel resentful.
"It's Ye Chutang... It's her! It must be her! She hates us, so she's taking revenge on us!"
Ye Heng clenched and unclenched his fists, and shouted in a deep voice: "Keep your voice down! Aren't you afraid of being heard? Don't you think being laughed at isn't enough?!"
Gao was not frightened by him. Instead, she stiffened her neck and cursed back, "So what if she heard it? I just think there's something wrong with her! Since she came back to Beijing, we haven't had a single smooth thing happen to us! Troubles keep coming one after another, and now it's even brought disaster to Mingze! If not her fault, who else can we blame!?"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She even stood up and was about to run outside.
"I'll ask her myself!"
Ye Heng was startled and immediately went forward to grab her, but as soon as he touched her wrist, Gao pushed him away fiercely.
In a hurry, Ye Heng raised his hand and gave her a loud slap!
Bang!
Gao was stunned by the slap and covered her face in disbelief.
Ye Shixian was so shocked that she took a half step back.
Ye Heng lost all patience and pointed at Gao and cursed: "You woman! What do you know! Ye Chutang now has the support of the eldest princess. You openly go to cause trouble for her. Do you want to drag all of us down with you?"
At this moment, the housekeeper came running over. Seeing this scene, he could only bite the bullet and said, "Master! Miss Ye, Miss Ye is here!"
Ye Heng turned back in shock: "What!?"
His expression changed, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment.
In fact, he also had some doubts about Ye Chutang in his heart, but he did not dare to speak out because he had no evidence.
Who would have thought that Ye Chutang would actually come to visit on his own initiative!
Ye Shixian frowned: "Dad, why is she..."
After weighing the options again and again, Ye Heng finally said, "Let her in!"
He wanted to see what tricks she would play this time!
…
Ye Chutang followed the housekeeper in with slow steps. When he saw it, the yard was already in a mess.
Ye Chutang felt quite regretful.
"How did it burn like this?"
Ye Shixian was waiting for her in the yard. When she heard this, she felt amused.
"Cousin is really well-informed. She came to see us so soon?"
This is the Ye family, and there are no outsiders around, so Ye Shixian spoke much more bluntly.
Ye Chutang paused, seemingly not hearing the mockery in her words.
"The fire was so severe that I'm afraid most of the capital has already known about it. I didn't want to come and disturb you, but after thinking about it, I felt that such a big thing had happened, so I should come and take a look."
However, when Ye Shixian heard these words, she only felt it was extremely ironic!
They had just broken up and suffered a complete loss of face, so how could there be any affection left?
Fortunately, Ye Chutang could say such words without changing his expression!
"That's our family's business and has nothing to do with you!" Ye Shixian hadn't slept all night and no longer had the patience to put on a good face and pretend to be nice to Ye Chutang.
She pulled the corner of her mouth and sneered, "When you came, many people outside saw you, right? I'm sure it won't be long before everyone will spread the word that you, Ye Chutang, have never left my Ye family and have easily earned a good reputation. It's a pity that we don't have the patience to entertain you, you'd better get out now!"
"It seems that my cousin has a deep misunderstanding of me."
Ye Chutang shook her head and glanced behind her.
"Actually, I came here today because I have something else I want to talk to my second uncle about in person."
Ye Shixian frowned, feeling extremely disgusted: "What do you have——"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Heng suddenly pushed the door open and walked out, looking unfriendly: "What do you want to talk about?"
As he asked, he looked at Ye Chutang calmly, trying to find clues from her.
If the fire last night was really caused by Ye Chutang, then this matter would be——
She came here early this morning. Was she really curious and wanted to see what was going on, or was she pretending?
Ye Chutang ignored his scrutinizing gaze, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"To be honest, I came here today to talk to my second uncle about relocating the graves of my parents and brother and setting up a tombstone."
Ye Heng was stunned for a moment.
"What did you say!?"
