Chapter 141: Must Help (Update 1)
He looked at Ye Chutang again: "By the way, Sister, I have asked for leave tomorrow and plan to go to Fengling Lane."
"What?" Ye Yunfeng was shocked. "Third brother, you're going there? Why didn't you tell me?"
Ye Jingyan comforted him, "I've also asked for your leave."
Ye Yunfeng: "...Oh."
That's about right.
but--
"What's the point of going there after it's burned down?" Ye Yunfeng shrugged with a look of disgust.
Ye Jingyan looked at Ye Chutang and said, "Of course, I want to get my sister's dowry back."
Ye Yunfeng was stunned: "Ah?"
Ye Jingyan said, "In addition to this house, the deeds to the dozen or so shops and hundreds of acres of land owned by my parents are also in his hands. He personally promised that these were all left as dowry for my elder sister. Now that they have moved out and I have passed my fourteenth birthday, it is naturally not his turn to be my elder sister's home anymore."
Ye Yunfeng reacted immediately and clapped his hands.
"That's right! Sister has us! How can he have the right to make irresponsible remarks and act bossy?"
Countless images flashed through Ye Jingyan's mind.
Three years ago, when his elder sister took them to flee south, he secretly swore that he would never let his elder sister suffer like this again.
She had protected them for three years, and now it was their turn to protect her.
He whispered, word for word, "Don't worry, sister. I will get back what belongs to you."
Ye Chutang's eyes moved slightly, and a shallow dimple appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Ayan's words are always worth a thousand gold. I believe it."
…
The night is dark, with no stars or moon.
The Han family was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and everyone was cautious and terrified.
Su Pei'er drank a bowl of bitter abortion-preserving medicine. The little maid hurriedly handed her a candied fruit and muttered softly, "Fortunately, Doctor Ye sent enough medicine to last for several days. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to go out and get it now."
Ever since Han Tong was arrested a few days ago, the entire Han family has been under house arrest in disguise. People from the Dali Temple have been secretly monitoring and guarding them, making it difficult for them to enter and leave the mansion freely.
After the bitterness between her lips and teeth faded a little, Su Peier asked, "Where is Han Lang?"
The little maid complained with dissatisfaction: "What else can I do? I locked myself in the study and refused to come out no matter how hard I tried. The housekeeper sent food over but was also scolded."
In everyone's opinion, Han Yao's current condition is no different from being crazy.
He is just a playboy, and he has no other abilities except eating, drinking and having fun.
Now that something had happened to Han Tong, he became like a headless fly, panic-stricken, nervous and at a loss.
"There have been servants in the mansion running away in the past few days, and he couldn't do anything about it." The little maid said this with a worried look on her face. She looked around and then carefully lowered her voice and said, "They all said that Lord Han has committed a capital crime this time! I'm afraid that the entire Han family will be affected... Girl, why is your life so miserable!"
Originally, she thought that although Han Yao was unreliable, he was still the son of an official. The Han family was wealthy and powerful, and as long as the girl gave birth to the child smoothly, she would not have to worry about the rest of her life.
But who could have thought that such a big thing would happen just a few days after arriving!
If you are not careful, you will lose your head!
Su Pei'er's expression did not change. She just said, "Please take away the medicine bowl and ask the kitchen to heat up the dinner. I'll go to the study to see Han Lang."
The little maid opened her eyes wide: "It's so late, you want to go over? How can this be possible? What if he gets angry again, or even hits me——"
Su Peier smiled faintly: "I have my own plans."
The little maid felt aggrieved for her, but she had no choice but to do as she was told.
"yes."
…
Arriving at the door of the study, Su Peier knocked.
"Han Lang, you didn't have dinner, so why don't you eat something?"
Bang!
Something hit hard.
"roll!"
The little maid shrank back.
Su Pei'er was not scared back. After a pause, she gently advised: "Han Lang, I know you are in a bad mood these days, but you still have to eat. Otherwise, how can you have the energy to save Master Han?"
The room was quiet for a while, and Han Yao finally came over to open the door.
After not showing up for a few days, he had a scruffy beard and sunken eyes, completely different from his previous proud appearance.
He stared at Su Pei'er and said in a hoarse voice: "...Do you have a solution?"
Su Peier took the tray from the maid, told her to go down, and went into the house.
The little maid looked at the closed door worriedly, praying silently in her heart that Han Yao would not go crazy again.
Su Peier put the dishes and chopsticks in place, then turned back to look at Han Yao and gently advised:
"Pei'er doesn't understand these things. She just thinks that Lord Han has a good character and would definitely not do such a thing. There must be a misunderstanding. If someone can stand up and plead for him now, it would buy more time for the Dali Temple to find out the truth and clear Lord Han's name. That would be great."
Han Yao's mind was a mess, but after listening to Su Pei'er's words, he finally made some sense.
Yes! It's not a good idea for him to stay here all the time. If he can find someone to help him, there will be some hope!
"But in this situation, who would be willing to stand up for Dad?!" Han Yao was very annoyed.
This matter involves the eldest princess!
His Majesty was furious and demanded a thorough investigation. Who would be so stupid as to cause trouble for himself at this time?
Su Peier picked up some food for him and asked tentatively, "I remember that Lord Han and Lord Ye have always been good friends. How about——"
"Don't mention him!"
Han Yao frowned tightly.
"It's good enough that he didn't step on it! How could he possibly help?"
Originally, the relationship between the two families was indeed good, but this time because of the scandal caused by Han Yao, Ye Heng was severely reprimanded by the eldest princess, and even their entire family was directly driven out of the Ye Mansion... Ye Heng probably had a grudge against them in his heart for a long time, so how could he help them?
Thinking of this, Han Yao looked at Su Pei'er with resentment in his eyes.
Su Pei'er bit her lip lightly, her eyes reddened, she bowed her head and whispered: "... Pei'er doesn't understand these, she just wants to share Han Lang's worries. Although there were some unpleasantness before, the two adults are close friends for many years after all. At such a critical moment, don't you think of the old friendship at all?"
"What do you know—"
Han Yao opened his mouth to curse, but suddenly stopped.
He clenched his fists, his expression changing constantly as he was thinking about something.
Su Pei'er held her waist and was about to kneel down, her voice tearful: "It's all Pei'er's fault! I hope Han Lang won't..."
"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that!" Han Yao clapped his hands vigorously, his expression excited, "Of course he has to help!"
Han Yao seemed to have grasped the last straw, and immediately helped her up, praising her repeatedly: "You are right! This method - works!"
Su Pei'er looked up blankly, tears still in the corners of her eyes, as if she didn't understand why his mood changed so quickly.
"Han Lang?"
Han Yao seemed to have made some decision.
"I'll go to the Ye family tomorrow morning!"
Ye Heng must help with this!
