Chapter 164 Planning (3rd update, supplement)
Isn’t Ye Heng feeling annoyed?
"This matter is not as simple as you think."
He had spent a lot of effort to be promoted to the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but who knew that Su Wei and him would not get along so well? After experiencing these recent events, his colleagues even stayed away from him.
Although he was very capable in official circles in the past, now everyone knows that he has displeased the eldest princess. Who would take the initiative to interact with him?
In the final analysis, it's all Ye Chutang's fault! If she hadn't deliberately provoked him, how could he have fallen to this point?
"Anyway, don't worry about it. Wait until this period of time is over, and then think of a solution!"
Ye Shixian felt unwilling.
It's easy to say this, but with the ups and downs in officialdom, who knows when the chance to turn things around will come?
If it was just three or five months it would be fine, but if it was longer...how could she afford to delay?
She had originally thought that with Ye Heng's promotion, her status would also rise, and she could take this opportunity to marry into a wealthy family, but now...
Even those young masters who liked to show their affection to her had disappeared during this period and cut off contact with her without a word.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m afraid of bad luck, or…
In the past few years, Ye Heng had been doing smoothly, and Ye Shixian was also the center of attention. How could she bear such a huge gap?
But seeing that Ye Heng also had a sad face, what else could she say?
"Xian'er understands."
Ye Heng glanced at her, thinking that after all he had an obedient and capable daughter, his expression eased a little.
"Don't think too much. Everything will work out when the time comes. By the way, how is Mingze today?"
Ye Shixian shook her head.
"He's still not awake. Also, I originally wanted to ask Ye Chutang to come over for a consultation, but now I'm afraid that's not going to work."
Ye Heng frowned: "What?"
Ye Shixian bit her lip and repeated what Shaoyao had said before.
After hearing this, Ye Heng's face looked very ugly.
"She is really lucky!"
Ye Shixian's eyes turned and she said, "Dad, this matter actually has both good and bad sides. It all depends on what everyone thinks."
Ye Heng didn't understand what she meant: "What do you mean?"
Ye Shixian lowered her voice.
"She is always trying to create a good reputation for herself, but she doesn't know that fame can save people, but it can also kill people!"
…
Two carriages turned into Liuwan Lane and stopped one after the other in front of the gate of Ye Mansion.
Ye Chutang got off the carriage and said goodbye to them while holding Xiaowu's hand.
"Thank you, Prince and Princess, for this time."
Princess Qinyang asked unwillingly, "Are you really not going to pick two people to take care of you?"
Ye Chutang smiled and declined.
Princess Qinyang had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, at worst we can come visit you more often."
She coughed and said, "But I might be busy in the next half month. If I can't come, it's the same if my brother comes."
Ye Chutang: "Not really..."
"I am sorry for delaying Miss Ye's business this time." A cold and low voice came, Shen Yanchuan looked at her and nodded slightly, "If you have any instructions in the future, Miss Ye, just let me know."
Ye Chutang was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was talking about her going up the mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha.
In fact, she doesn't believe in gods or Buddhas, but... as long as it can bring peace to the souls of her father, mother and brother, she is willing to do it devoutly.
Ye Chutang knelt down and saluted, with the corners of his lips slightly curved:
"Thank you, Prince."
…
I took Xiaowu back to the room and as soon as I closed the door, Xiaowu immediately looked over at me eagerly.
Ye Chutang scratched her red nose.
"Okay, it's really nothing. I'll just change the medicine for Sister later."
When Xiaowu heard that she was willing to let him help change the medicine, he finally felt relieved and nodded repeatedly.
Ye Chutang remembered something: "Oh, by the way, your third and fourth brothers may be back soon, so add a few dishes."
…
Just as Ye Chutang expected, the two brothers came back after a while.
Ye Yunfeng rushed in: "Sister!"
Ye Chutang didn't even raise his head: "Your sister is not dead, but she will be killed by your noise."
Ye Yunfeng rushed in like a gust of wind, and when he heard Ye Chutang's voice, the worry that had been hanging in his heart all the way finally eased a little.
"Sister! My third brother and I heard from the Imperial College that something happened to you, so we rushed back immediately!"
He looked at Ye Chutang carefully several times, smelled the bitter smell of medicine on her, and his expression changed slightly.
"What's going on?"
Ye Chutang looked up and saw Ye Jingyan coming back closely behind him.
He was more stable than Ye Jingyan, but he also frowned at this time, looking worried: "Sister, what happened yesterday?"
Ye Chutang put down the account book in his hand, smiled and said, "I'm fine. I just got hit by a dart in my shoulder. It's just a minor flesh wound, not serious."
Ye Yunfeng looked at her left shoulder: "Sister, didn't you go up the mountain to burn incense? How could it be that - they also said that you fell off the cliff to save the son of Dingbei Marquis, is that true or false?"
Ye Chutang stood up and turned around so that the three siblings could see clearly.
"It's true. However, I never do anything without certainty. Can you rest assured now?"
Ye Jingyan let out a long sigh.
When he heard the news, his first reaction was that his sister had done it on purpose, but his sister had never mentioned this before, so he still felt a little uneasy.
It was not until this time that he finally felt relieved after receiving the affirmative answer from his elder sister.
But... after all, I was injured.
Ye Yunfeng felt very distressed, "Let me know who they are later, and I will make them pay back a hundredfold!"
Ye Chutang recalled what happened the night before.
It’s obvious that those people would not have a good ending if they fell into Shen Yanchuan’s hands.
"Then wait until you are a little older. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway."
Ye Jingyan's heart moved: "...Sister knows the other party's identity?"
Ye Chutang nodded.
"But it's not directed at me this time, don't worry."
The one who really needs a headache is probably the one in Prince Qi's mansion...
Seeing that Ye Chutang was not going to say anything, Ye Jingyan did not continue to ask.
"At least I hope Sister is okay."
His eyes turned and fell on the table.
It was an open account book with a stack of books next to it.
"Is this the account flow of the shops we repossessed for the past three years? Didn't Sister already look at it before?"
Ye Chutang tapped it lightly with her white fingers.
"Even though it's a fake account book, it's still worth reading. Otherwise, when I see those shopkeepers again, I won't be able to get a single word out of them."
Only when you know what is going on can you act.
Ye Jingyan suddenly realized: "Sister, what you said makes sense."
Ye Chutang put the account book aside and said, "By the way, you guys should ask the teaching assistant for leave for the next few days and don't go back to the Imperial College for now."
"Really?" Ye Yunfeng instantly perked up, but soon realized something was wrong and scratched his head, "Sister, do you want me and my third brother to do something?"
Ye Jingyan had a vague guess in his heart: "Sister wants to..."
The next moment, Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly and he smiled softly:
"The property deeds and land titles have been taken back. It's better to go and see it in person to feel more at ease, isn't it?"
