Chapter 25 No One Protected Her
Chen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He knew that Ye Chutang would definitely have a way to deal with it, but the fact that the matter could be resolved so quickly was indeed beyond his expectations.
During the time she has been in Jiangling, from the first time she met Ye Chutang until now, she seems to have had a lot of trouble.
However, no matter what happened, no matter what the situation was, the woman was always calm and always managed to resolve the problem calmly.
This is definitely not something an ordinary woman can do.
In addition, there is her calligraphy...
"How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?" Shen Yanchuan asked.
Lian Zhou came back to his senses, thinking about the information he had found out today, and his expression became a little complicated.
"I heard that they came to Jiangling three years ago. At that time, Doctor Ye was only fourteen years old, but she insisted on settling here with her family. Jiangling is a small place, so it is inevitable that there is some xenophobia. She is an outsider and a woman, so you can imagine how much hardship she has suffered."
Speaking of this, Lian Zhou felt a little emotional.
Life in this world is already difficult, let alone Ye Chutang’s situation?
"Fortunately, Doctor Ye has excellent medical skills, otherwise..."
Although Ye Chutang's medical fee was not cheap, Lian Zhou still gave him the money because he knew that Ye Chutang's medical skills were indeed worth the price.
but……
"I just don't know where she learned her medical skills from or who taught her. Although they have been in Jiangling for three years, no one knows where they are originally from. We only heard that they came here with the refugees who fled famine three years ago and later settled here."
Chen Yanchuan paused: "Escape from famine?"
Lian Zhou nodded: "Three years ago, there was a snowstorm and famine in the north, and many people fled south to escape the famine."
He sighed, "If I hadn't specifically asked, I wouldn't have known that they had such an experience."
The main reason is that Ye Chutang's appearance and temperament are too outstanding, she is gentle and beautiful, and has an easy-going temper. If you don't know her, you would think she is a noble lady who was carefully raised in some family.
Although her two younger brothers have very different personalities, they are both good-looking and have a different temperament from others.
In short... you can't tell at all that they were once refugees who almost died on the road.
Chen Yanchuan pondered for a moment: "Where are her husband's family? Is there no one to protect her?"
Lian Zhou's expression became even weirder.
"Master, Doctor Ye...is not married yet."
Chen Yanchuan paused, his eyelashes slightly raised: "Oh?"
Lian Zhou felt quite embarrassed when he thought about how such a big misunderstanding had happened: "That little girl is actually her younger sister, the fifth child, so her nickname is Xiaowu."
Shen Yanchuan tapped his slender jade-like fingers twice on the armrest of the chair, wondering what he was thinking.
Lian Zhou sighed to himself, "Think about it. Three years ago, Doctor Ye not only had to flee with his two young brothers, but also had to take care of a baby. It was really not easy! I don't know how they managed to survive."
In his heart, he even had a faint admiration for Ye Chutang.
"It is precisely because of this that Doctor Ye has never married until now, and even few people have proposed marriage."
Logically speaking, with Ye Chutang's looks and figure, at her age, she should have been crowded with suitors. But who can blame her for having three children?
No matter how good she is, those people will still stay away from her.
Lian Zhou recalled something and continued, "I heard that Cao Chengwen had been interested in Doctor Ye before and wanted to take her as a concubine, but Doctor Ye naturally refused. Perhaps... this is also the reason why Cao Chengwen targeted her so much."
The Cao family can be considered a wealthy family in Jiangling. If Ye Chutang could have their protection, his life would definitely be much better.
At least I don't have to work hard alone to support the family and feed my younger brothers and sisters like I do now.
Shen Yanchuan glanced out the window.
All the people from the yamen had left, leaving only the brother and sister. Ye Jingyan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, Ye Yunfeng said something excitedly, Ye Chutang leaned over slightly, pinched the little girl's nose, and a smile spread out at the corners of his lips.
The little kid immediately grabbed her fingers, smiled with his lips pursed, and his eyes curved.
Ye Chutang stood up and took her back.
Her eyes were bright and her smile was gentle, and you couldn't tell at all what thrilling experience she had today.
As she walked, the breeze lifted her skirt, outlining her extremely slender waist.
A strand of hair fluttered in the wind, and she casually raised her hand to tuck the hair behind her ear, then glanced over here as if unintentionally.
Eyes met.
Ye Chutang nodded slightly and quickly looked away.
Ever since the night of the Spring Lantern Festival, there seemed to be an inexplicable tacit understanding between them. They both knew that the other person was not as simple as they seemed, but they each maintained their boundaries and never overstepped the line.
Chen Yanchuan curved his thin lips very slightly.
…
As soon as Yang Zheng returned home, a graceful and charming figure came to greet him.
"Why did you come back so late today, sir?"
Liu Yiyi's voice is so sweet and soft that it makes people feel as if their bones are softened.
However, Yang Zhen's expression was extremely cold.
Realizing that something was wrong, Liu Yiyi paused and lowered her voice, "My Lord, have you encountered any troubles?"
Yang Zhen ordered the servants to go out and close the door, then he looked at Liu Yiyi again.
He asked in a deep voice: "Why did I come back so late? Don't you really know?"
Liu Yiyi had never seen him so cold and stern before, and she suddenly became nervous.
"I really don't know, sir, what is this..."
"Those two people who falsely accused Ye Chutang were bribed by you, right?" Yang Zhen asked coldly.
Liu Yiyi's heart sank.
In fact, she already knew what happened in Ye’s Clinic during the day, and she also knew that Yang Zhen must have come back so late to interrogate the suspect personally, but she didn’t expect that he actually guessed her right away!
Could it be that those two people let the cat out of the bag?
Liu Yiyi looked aggrieved: "Sir, I am wronged!"
Yang Zhen pointed at her and said, "You are still trying to make excuses! You can bribe that woman, but if the people in the government office were not afraid, why would they take such a big risk for fifty taels of silver!"
In fact, the two men were quite tight-lipped, but Yang Zhen was not stupid. After thinking about it, he quickly identified the mastermind behind the scenes.
——The one who wants to punish Ye Chutang the most right now is Cao Deping. It goes without saying that what happened today was definitely caused by Liu Yiyi’s instigation!
Hearing his tone, Liu Yiyi knew that there was no possibility of refutation. She bit her lips tightly, tears in her eyes, and cried: "I just want to teach her a lesson, there is no other intention-"
“Nonsense!”
Yang Zhen interrupted her angrily.
"What time is it now? Why do you have to come and cause trouble? Are you worried that my career will be delayed?"
