There was a sound of jogging. Ye Chutang looked up and saw a chubby little ball running towards her on short legs.
Xiaowu threw himself into Ye Chutang's arms.
——My sister was only away for a short while, but she felt like they had been apart for a long time!
Ye Chutang gently scratched her nose with his finger: "Are you coming because you smelled the silver?"
Xiaowu raised his head and smiled brightly at her.
She had indeed heard what Ye Chutang and the servants had said just now, and knew the origins of these letters.
In her opinion, there is nothing that her sister cannot accomplish.
Now that the shop has been taken back and my sister has taken over personally, won’t the business be booming in the future?
Ye Chutang took her hand and walked inside at a steady pace.
The servants followed behind and couldn't help but look back at the boy who accompanied Ye Chutang out.
——The Second Miss has been staying at home for a while. Today is her first time to go out officially. Unfortunately, Ye Mingze died suddenly. Now most of the capital has known the news. People are talking about it, especially paying special attention to Ye Chutang's attitude.
But... no one could tell what she was thinking.
You could say she didn't care, as she sent someone to order a coffin and send it to Fengling Lane early in the morning. But if you could say she cared, her expression was always calm and composed, and there was no sign of anything unusual.
Now I even plan to manage the business of those shops myself...
"We replied to these posts uniformly and asked them to come over tomorrow."
Ye Chutang quickly opened the letters one by one and read them, then gave orders.
"yes."
Ye Chutang asked again: "By the way, how is Fengling Lane?"
Several servants looked at each other.
Finally, one of them stepped forward and recounted everything that had happened in front of the Ye family's door in the morning.
Ye Chutang listened calmly, as if he had already anticipated all the outcomes.
"She did tell me where she wanted to bury Mingze."
The servant trembled and stammered, "This, this doesn't seem to exist..."
Ye Shixian was almost angry to death. If the Ye family hadn't been guarded by soldiers, she would have made a scene on the spot and would not have been able to think of anything else.
If this question were asked in person... I'm afraid she would follow Ye Mingze.
Ye Chutang said "Oh" softly.
"That's right. She and Second Aunt should be extremely sad right now. How can they think about these things? But this matter is indeed difficult to decide. I heard that when Second Uncle was choosing the cemetery for Father, Mother and Brother, it took a lot of trouble."
Xiaowu looked up at her, his dark and clear eyes were like the purest obsidian, and he seemed to understand but not quite.
Ye Chutang rubbed her little head, but her mind couldn't help but think of what Xu Fengchi had said before.
"…At that time, everyone thought he would send them back to their hometown Qingzhou for burial. However, it was midwinter and there was heavy snow, making the roads difficult to travel. In addition, Qingzhou was far away, and the journey would take at least a month. He had just been promoted to the right assistant minister of the Dali Temple, and was tied up with many official duties. In the end, he decided to bury your parents and Xi Ting at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. He said that your father liked the place especially after coming to Beijing, and this way they can rest in peace in the afterlife."
The corners of Ye Chutang's lips twitched slightly.
No matter how far Qingzhou is, it is no more than a hundred miles away.
She was able to take Ayan, Afeng and Xiaowu all the way south, sleeping in the open air and enduring all kinds of hardships, but Ye Heng couldn't even send his father, mother and brother back to their hometown.
She couldn't afford such a "favor".
Ye Chutang said calmly:
"Then let's set it at Baoerguan."
