Chapter 230: Desperate Situation (Part 1)
As soon as Ye Chutang stepped over the threshold, he heard footsteps coming from the front.
It was Ye Jingyan who heard the noise outside the door and came out to check.
"Sister?"
Ye Chutang looked up: "Ah Yan."
With this movement, Ye Jingyan finally saw the bloodstain on her neck. His face changed instantly and he took a few quick steps forward: "Sister! What are you doing——"
Ye Chutang smiled at him and comforted him in a gentle voice: "It's just a minor injury. I'll explain it to you later."
Ye Jingyan has always listened to her the most. Even though he had countless questions in his mind at this moment, he still held them back.
He glanced toward the door.
"That voice just now sounded like the prince and Xu Rongqing?"
…
The door slowly closed, and Xu Rongqing finally came back to his senses when he heard the sound of a whip nearby.
When I turned my head, I was met with a pair of dark, cold and bottomless eyes.
Xu Rongqing and Shen Yanchuan were not familiar with each other, but after a few contacts, Xu Rongqing could vaguely sense that Shen Yanchuan seemed to dislike him a little...
The atmosphere was a little cold. Xu Rongqing clasped his fists and bowed, preparing to leave.
However, Shen Yanchuan spoke first.
"I heard that Master Xu has not returned home since he left the palace last night?"
Xu Rongqing was startled and looked up subconsciously, only to find that the young man in front of him had a calm expression and a cold tone.
He wasn't asking a question, he was just stating a fact.
Xu Rongqing was a little unsure and said hesitantly: "The prince asked this, is it..."
Chen Yanchuan seemed to smile, and his partiality was obvious in his words:
"This is about the Ye family and her, so we must be extremely cautious."
…
"Sister, what happened to your injury?"
As soon as he returned to the inner room, Ye Jingyan immediately asked, his tone no longer as calm as usual.
Ye Chutang waved his hand nonchalantly: "It was just a cut by Han Yao, it's nothing serious. Don't worry, your sister has always cherished her life and will not do business at a loss."
A little flesh wound is worth it for a chance to get the truth out.
Seeing that she was too lazy to say more, Ye Jingyan could only turn around and look at Ye Yunfeng: "Ah Feng, what did I tell you before I left?"
I repeatedly told him to protect my sister, but the result was -
Ye Yunfeng hung his head, feeling guilty: "It's my fault that I didn't take good care of my sister."
"Don't blame him." Ye Chutang shook his head.
Afeng would be fine, but Ayan has always been smart and would not be unable to guess what she is planning today.
Ye Jingyan felt like his chest was on fire - he did know that his elder sister went out today to make things bigger, but he didn't expect that his elder sister would be injured, especially in such a dangerous position!
If anything happens -
"A Feng, go get the medicine for me. Put it in the second compartment of the third row of the medicine cabinet."
Ye Yunfeng originally had a lot of words of reflection and repentance to say, but after hearing what she said, he didn't care about anything else. He just responded and left quickly.
After he left, Ye Chutang glanced towards the east room: "Where's Xiaowu?"
"Still sleeping." Ye Jingyan said, "I fell asleep after solving the few questions my sister left."
Ye Chutang felt a little relieved.
She was afraid that Xiaowu would be bored and look for her, so she specially left some things to relieve his boredom, and sure enough, he became much more well-behaved.
Fortunately, she was still sleeping, otherwise my eyes would turn red again seeing her like this.
"I'm really fine." Ye Chutang took a sip of tea to moisten his hoarse throat. Seeing that Ye Jingyan was still frowning, he couldn't help but smile, "You're back in good health, aren't you?"
She simply recounted what happened in the morning, her tone calm and relaxed, as if she was talking about someone else's business from beginning to end, without showing any fear or dread of being held hostage or threatened.
"Han Tong is indeed a cunning man. He even managed to catch a cautious man like Ye Heng. It's a pity that he raised an impulsive and brainless son who ruined the future and lives of the whole family."
As Ye Chutang was speaking, Ye Yunfeng had already fetched the medicine and handed it over in a hurry.
"Sister! Here!"
The action is quite fast.
Ye Chutang took the white jade bottle and smiled: "You did a good job today. It seems that you have not fallen behind in your efforts. Now that we have found the box, many things will be easier to handle."
As she spoke, she opened the bottle and a faint bitter medicinal aroma filled the air.
Only then did Ye Jingyan notice that the handkerchief in her hand looked unfamiliar and did not seem to be hers.
"Sister, this is..."
Ye Chutang looked down along the line of sight he was looking at, and suddenly the look in Chen Yanchuan's eyes when he handed her the handkerchief suddenly emerged in her mind.
It is clear and deep, yet it seems like a sea that is shielded from waves.
She came back to her senses and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"A favor."
…
After Murong Ye left, Ye Shixian went back to bed and planned to catch up on some sleep, but not long after she lay down, she was woken up again.
"Oh no! Oh no!" Shaoyao ran in in a panic, her face pale and unable to hide her panic, "Miss! Something big has happened to the Han family!"
Ye Shixian frowned: "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
She was already feeling confused, and Shaoyao's shout made her heart almost jump out of her chest.
"What happened to the Han family has nothing to do with us, so why do we have to be so -"
Shaoyao no longer cared about etiquette. She knelt down with red eyes and weak legs, her body trembling. "Miss! You, you don't know! Han Yao has kidnapped Ye Chutang! He also exposed the master in public, saying that he was the one who planned Master Ye Zheng's death!"
It was like a bolt of thunder striking Ye Shixian's head, and her mind went blank in an instant.
She suddenly threw off the quilt and stood up, taking two quick steps, her face as pale as paper: "What nonsense are you talking about!?"
Shaoyao cried and said, "Miss, how dare I say such nonsense? The servants have spread the news! I heard that Han Yao forced the prince to release his father, so the prince sent people to stop the prisoner car of Master Han Tong and brought him back to the Han family. I didn't expect that after Master Han arrived, Han Yao was like crazy, throwing dirty water on the master's head crazily! I heard, I heard that later the prince found a box of evidence from the Han family's yard according to what he said! Now, the father and son of the Han family have been escorted by a special person, waiting for the emperor to make a decision!"
Bang!
Ye Shixian staggered back a step and accidentally knocked the teacup off the table, breaking it into pieces in an instant.
She slumped in the chair in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time, and only kept muttering: "How is it possible... How could this happen!?"
They thought that with Murong Ye's help, they would definitely be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel this time, but who knew such a situation would occur halfway!
Shaoyao cried and wiped her tears, begging: "Miss, Miss! What should we do now? If, if the master's guilt is really confirmed——"
Bang!
Ye Shixian slapped Shaoyao hard on the face, shocked and angry, and shouted: "How dare you! Who allowed you to say such nonsense! If you dare to say nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart!"
Shaoyao was knocked to the ground and half of her face quickly became red and swollen, causing a burning pain.
But how could she dare to refute a word?
She had served Ye Shixian since she was a child, and had never seen Ye Shixian get so angry. She could only kowtow in tears: "Miss, please forgive me! Miss, please forgive me! It was my fault! I deserve to die!"
Ye Shixian covered her chest, but her frantic and rapid heartbeat became more and more out of control.
what to do?
Now, what should we do? !
