Chapter 205 A Hard Night (Update 1)
Through the window, you can vaguely see torches and the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.
That was definitely not the kind of noise that would occur under normal circumstances!
Gao stood up hastily: "What's going on?!"
The maid cried, "I heard that the prince of Dingbei brought people here personally! He said, he said he wanted to seal it up—"
"How is it possible? What nonsense are you talking about? The Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet is tonight, why would His Royal Highness bring people here?"
Gao didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart.
As she walked out, she shouted angrily: "I want to see who is causing trouble for the Ye family!"
It is true that Ye Heng is in trouble now, but the charges have not yet been determined, and he is still a fourth-rank official of the current dynasty!
What's more, there is that person behind him! Whoever comes here must think twice.
After walking a few steps, a cold wind blew and Gao suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to bring her veil when she came out.
The redness, swelling and ulceration on her face had lasted for more than a month. She had tried various methods, but there was no improvement. On weekdays, she tried to stay indoors and not contact outsiders, but now -
Gao wanted to go back to get the veil and put it on, but she heard hurried and orderly voices outside.
The people have arrived!
Without caring about anything else, Gao had to bite the bullet and continue walking out, asking anxiously as she walked, "Where's Xian'er? Hasn't she come back yet?"
How could the maid know all this? She just shook her head timidly and blankly.
"I, I don't know..."
"What a waste! None of you are of any use at the critical moment!" Gao was very annoyed. "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you send a few more people to guard the young master? If you disturb him, I will hold you accountable!"
Naturally, the most precious thing in Gao's heart is her son.
His health condition was already not good, and if something happened again, it would be hard to say when he would be able to recover.
As they were talking, Gao had already arrived at the front yard.
She saw that the gate of the Ye family was already wide open. It was dark at night and she could only vaguely see that the outside seemed to be completely blocked.
The servants in the mansion all huddled together, and no one stepped forward to stop them.
Gao's anger instantly rose. She took a step forward and shouted, "How dare you! Do you think this place is a place that you can seal off at will?!"
Her Ye family has not yet fallen to the point where they could be bullied by others!
However, just as Gao was about to continue questioning, a man in black tights appeared outside the door.
Looking at that somewhat familiar face, Gao was speechless for a moment.
"Lian, Lianzhou-sama?"
Isn't this the confidant of the Prince of Dingbei? How come he is here?!
Lian Zhou raised his head and glanced at the door plaque.
"Fengling Lane, Ye Heng Ye Family, we are investigating you. Madam Ye, please make way!"
I could hear each word clearly, but when they were put together, they suddenly became incomprehensible.
Gao opened her mouth and said, "W-what?"
Just then, she saw a familiar figure again.
"Xian'er?"
When Gao saw her, she instantly felt that she had grasped hope, and hurriedly said, "Xian'er, is there any misunderstanding here? Please explain it to Lord Lianzhou!"
Ye Shixian's lips were pale and her eyes were lifeless. When she heard her words, she just rolled her eyeballs slowly.
Only then did Gao realize that her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
Her heart sank.
"Xian'er, you——"
"Second Aunt."
A gentle and clear voice was heard. Gao looked up and found that the person she hated to see the most was there!
"Ye Chutang? Why are you here!?"
Ye Chutang didn't seem to notice Gao's disgust and vigilance, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.
"Thank you for your concern, Second Aunt, but you should take care of yourself first. Don't worry too much, they are just checking some things, as long as Second Uncle is innocent, he will be safe. You should ask the people below to be more obedient and finish the investigation as soon as possible, so as not to delay the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"
