Ye Shixian's mind went blank for a moment, and she subconsciously looked at the servant.
Five thousand taels?
The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead and said repeatedly, "Time is urgent. My master said that we should pay 5,000 taels first, and the rest will be returned in a few days."
Although Murong Ye was of noble status, this 10,000 taels was a considerable sum for him. It was not easy for him to come up with so much at once.
He had managed to collect these five thousand taels by various means and secretly had his servants deliver them.
Several people behind him also whispered: "Brother, five thousand taels is not a small amount. Besides, he is the son of the Murong family after all, we still have to give him some face."
Ye Heng was imprisoned, and the Ye family was easy to bully, but Murong Ye was different, because his biological father was a second-rank commander!
Zhao Fusheng shook the stack of banknotes and put on a smiling face in an instant.
"If Master Murong comes forward, it will be easy to talk!"
Ye Shixian closed her eyes, and finally felt relieved.
I thought this group of people could finally leave, but unexpectedly the man smiled and added with an ambiguous tone:
"With Master Murong here, Miss Ye can rest assured about everything from now on!"
Ye Shixian's heart skipped a beat and she looked up immediately, only to see that everyone was looking at her with very strange eyes.
At this moment, she realized belatedly - something was wrong!
Murong Ye helped her quite a bit by doing this, but in the eyes of everyone, she and he were no longer involved with each other!
Three people make a tiger. If someone exaggerates the story, there is no telling what kind of rumors will spread about her and Murong Ye's relationship!
Ye Shixian knows too well how terrible it is to be criticized by others!
"I don't--"
As soon as she opened her mouth, the rest of her words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't continue.
say what?
Saying there's nothing between her and Murong Ye?
But she did send someone to secretly ask Murong Ye for help!
And Murong Ye did come to help her!
I just didn't expect that I would do this in front of so many people...
A tall, straight, and cold figure flashed through Ye Shixian's mind. She bit her lip and said:
"Mr. Murong, I am grateful for your help. But this is a family matter, so I dare not trouble you. When my father is cleared of the injustice, I will come to thank you! I will also return all the money!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the voice.
Why does it sound like she wants to cut off ties with Murong Ye?
But didn't they just come to help her? Why is she so anxious...
The servant who came to deliver the banknotes was also stunned.
After coming back to his senses, he frowned instantly.
Her own master has been running around for her and has been scolded by the master several times, but she doesn't appreciate it at all?
At this time, apart from his master, who else would get involved in the Ye family’s mess!
The servant immediately lost his temper and said in a stiff tone: "If Miss Ye wants to thank you, you should wait until you see my master and say it in person! However, Master Ye, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait!"
Ye Shixian's eyelids jumped, and she asked in surprise, "What?"
The servant said, "You have been staying at home for so long that you may not know that Lord Ye's case has been closed! He was exiled to Tongbei this morning! I'm afraid my son has already left the city!"
Ye Shixian’s eyes went dark and she fell backwards instantly.
Shaoyao quickly stepped forward to support her: "Miss!"
Everyone was in an uproar at once!
"Is this true? Ye Heng was exiled!"
“I’m not dead…”
"Exiled to Tongbei, such a desolate and extremely cold place, I'm afraid it would be more painful than death!"
"He was exiled, so...what about the other members of the Ye family?"
This is also the question in Ye Shixian's mind.
She could barely stand, her whole body was shaking, and her face was as pale as a ghost.
"impossible!"
She murmured absentmindedly,
"My father is innocent! Someone must have wronged him! It must be--"
At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds suddenly came from the corner of the street.
Ye Shixian seemed to have a premonition and suddenly looked up!
I saw a group of soldiers coming quickly and aggressively!
Everyone quickly retreated to both sides, clearing the road in the middle.
The leader, dressed in official robes, raised his voice and said:
"The emperor has issued an order! Ye Heng is corrupt, selling official positions and neglecting his duties! From today on, he will be exiled to Tongbei and cannot return without being summoned! All the Ye family's assets will be confiscated! All personnel in the palace will move out immediately!"
He looked down at Ye Shixian and said coldly:
"Why don't you kneel down and accept my order to express your gratitude?"
…
Pop.
Ye Chutang placed his last piece, and the white piece completely strangled the black piece, leaving no chance of recovery.
"it's over."
She said.
Xiaowu puffed up his cheeks.
——How miserable! Sister played chess so fiercely today!
Ye Chutang chuckled and said, "I've made great progress today. I took three more steps than last time."
Xiaowu became happy again instantly.
Ye Chutang glanced at the sky and said, "Let's pack it up. It's almost time."
Xiaowu blinked his eyes - eh? Sister isn't going to continue?
time?
Is there anything else you want to do?
The maid stepped forward to clean up the mess, and Ye Chutang waved at Xiaowu.
"Come on, it's time to go out."
Xiaowu was stunned.
Going out at this time?
Ye Chutang held her hand, tilted his head and whispered:
"Prepare the car and go to Jiuhua Mountain." (End of this chapter)
