Chapter 237: A Gift (Part 2)
"really?!"
The eldest princess was stunned.
Princess Qinyang frowned and looked angry.
"Han Yao reported it on the spot, saying that it was Ye Heng who conspired to murder Ye Zheng! Chu Tang didn't believe it, but if it was false, how could Han Yao be so bold? Moreover, my brother did as he said and found a box in the Han family courtyard!"
This is probably true, but——
"After all, he is his own brother. Is he really so cruel and mad as this?"
The eldest princess sighed and shook her head.
"What about blood ties, what about brothers? When it comes to interests, how many people have fought each other to the point of bloodshed?"
Princess Qinyang grew up under the care of the eldest princess. Although she was very well protected, such things were not uncommon in a place like the capital.
"That's right. Back then, when Chu Tang and his family just returned to the capital, Ye Heng's family occupied their house and refused to give it back no matter what. At that time, I just thought he was greedy, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel and ruthless that he dared to do such a bad thing to harm his own brother!"
If it is only the former, although it will be criticized, it is not a capital crime.
But if it's the latter... then it has been planned for a long time and the person behind it has sinister intentions!
The key point is that after this incident happened, Ye Chutang and the others didn’t know how to deal with it... If anyone knew that their parents might have died at the hands of their own uncle, they would probably not be able to accept it!
All the so-called care before will only become the biggest mockery and joke!
Princess Qinyang became angrier the more she thought about it.
"These siblings are so unlucky!"
The princess had long seen that Ye Heng's family was very hostile to Ye Chutang and his sister, but she had never expected that there was such a hidden story here...
"Yanchuan has sent a royal doctor to look after her. The girl is also proficient in medicine, so she should be fine. Let her rest in peace for now." The princess tilted her head and ordered, "Zhu Xin, go prepare the gifts and send them to the Ye Mansion tomorrow."
Zhuxin bowed his head in response.
When Princess Qinyang heard this, she could only frown.
"Then I'll listen to you and go another day!"
…
The sun moved westward, the autumn wind blew, and a few more dead leaves fell in the courtyard.
Ye Chutang sat quietly by the window, flipping through the account book.
Although the shops have been taken back, we still need to plan carefully how to run them next.
"Sister?"
When Ye Yunfeng came in, he saw that she had several books stacked beside her, and he felt distressed.
"Sister, you've seen all of this before, why are you bringing it out again? You haven't had a good rest since you came back!"
Ye Chutang turned the page and shook his head: "I'll check it again, it won't be tiring."
Ye Yunfeng leaned over with some curiosity, looked for three seconds, and then withdrew.
He felt dizzy and had a headache when he saw these things and couldn't concentrate.
"Isn't this normal? Few of those shopkeepers are honest. They make up the accounts and enrich themselves. Even if the store loses money, they themselves don't lose money. These accounts are true and false. Sister has to check them one by one, but it will take a lot of effort."
Ye Chutang tilted his head slightly, held his chin with one hand, tapped lightly with his jade-white fingers, and sighed softly.
"These are all our family's assets. We need to investigate further to find out where the money has gone."
Think about how much money I made after working so hard to open a clinic in Jiangling a few years ago.
"Not to mention that you and Ah Yan are studying in the Imperial College, and you will need a lot of money in the future. Even Xiao Wu needs to eat a lot every day. You can't go back to Beijing and let her go hungry, right?"
Xiao Wu, who was curled up beside Ye Chutang, slowly sat up and opened his eyes wide in confusion.
——Sister, do I really eat a lot?
Ye Chutang coughed lightly, rubbed her little head, and said gently:
"Sorry, I was looking for so long that I forgot you were here too."
As she spoke, she pinched a snowflake cookie and handed it over.
Xiaowu's eyes lit up, and the moment he took the snowflake crisps into his mouth, he forgot what his elder sister had just said.
Ye Yunfeng watched all this silently: "..."
Hmm...sister is really far-sighted!
"By the way, last time Sun Lian mentioned Shiluan City, I haven't made time for it yet."
So many things have happened recently that Ye Chutang didn't pay attention to this.
Ye Yunfeng didn't know why his elder sister cared so much about what Sun Lian said, but he felt that his elder sister must have her reasons for thinking so, so he asked, "How about I go over and get some information first?"
Ye Chutang shook his head.
"inappropriate."
Originally she planned to go there in person, but it was not convenient under the current circumstances.
A Yan and A Feng asked for leave, but they could not leave the Imperial College for too long.
Ye Chutang was not worried that they could not keep up with their studies, but he was afraid that they would be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
It’s easy to imagine how many eyes are watching them outside, so they have to be careful with every move they make.
It would be too strange if the two brothers left the Ye family at this time.
"Then..." Ye Yunfeng quickly understood what she was worried about and frowned.
After returning to Beijing, everything was clear, but it was indeed very restrictive.
Ye Chutang thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, let's put this matter aside for now, you——"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Chutang paused, turned his head slightly, and looked outside.
Ye Yunfeng also immediately realized something and followed her gaze, feeling a little strange.
"Is there someone coming?"
But who would it be at this time?
Ye Chutang closed the account book and said gently, "A Feng, there are guests coming, go and take a look."
Ye Yunfeng understood and stood up immediately: "Okay. Sister, take a good rest. Leave these matters to me and my third brother."
Ye Chutang nodded, put away the things, and took Xiaowu around the screen and returned to the inner room.
Ye Jingyan, who was drying medicinal herbs in the courtyard, had heard the knock on the door. He looked at Ye Yunfeng who had just walked out, wiped his hands, and walked over to open the door.
“Here I come.”
When Ye Jingyan opened the door, he saw several unfamiliar faces.
In front of him, one person smiled and bowed.
"Meet Mr. Ye San."
Ye Jingyan hesitated: "Your Excellency is..."
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi and the Imperial Concubine were both very worried when they heard that Miss Ye was injured. They specially sent a servant to give her this hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, hoping that Miss Ye would recover soon."
Ye Jingyan's eyebrows moved slightly.
King of Qi?
They had no dealings with this person, so this gift was quite strange.
Although he thought so in his heart, Ye Jingyan did not show any sign on his face, as if he was shocked and surprised.
"This gift is too precious, really..."
"Mr. Ye San, you don't have to be polite. This is a token of kindness from the Imperial Concubine and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. I hope you will accept it." The man seemed to have anticipated Ye Jingyan's reaction, and said with a bit of earnestness and a bit of embarrassment, "If you can't do it, I won't be able to report back when I go back."
Who can refuse the gifts from the Imperial Concubine and the King of Qi?
Ye Jingyan hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Sister is too seriously injured and cannot get out of bed for the time being. Jingyan would like to thank the Imperial Concubine and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi for their concern on behalf of Sister."
When the man heard this, his words, which were originally intended to go in and see Ye Chutang, got stuck in his throat.
"Can--"
