Chapter 286 Calculation (Part 1)
Ye Shixian sneered in her heart. Ye Chutang was the best at putting on a show. Now that things had come to this, she didn't believe that Ye Chutang would just hide and watch!
However, the servant scratched his head and said, "I'm so sorry, our second young lady has gone to Jiuhua Mountain. I don't know when she will be back, and I don't want you to wait here, so... you should go back first!"
Ye Shixian's expression froze.
The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment. Someone who didn't know the inside story asked quietly, "Jiuhua Mountain? Why is Miss Ye going there for no reason?"
Someone sighed softly and explained, "You don't know this. Miss Ye's parents and brother... are all buried there."
The crowd fell silent.
The incident back then caused a lot of uproar, especially with the recent turmoil, it's hard to pretend I don't know.
However, only a few people remember that Ye Zheng and others were buried in Jiuhua Mountain.
"I remember that it was the middle of winter, with heavy snow and difficult roads to travel. Ye Heng gave up sending them back to their hometown for burial and chose to bury them in Jiuhua Mountain instead."
"I remember that, too! And because Lord Ye Zheng was demoted because he offended the emperor, there was no grand funeral ceremony, he was simply buried and that was that. Thinking about it now... it's really sad!"
Some people also said something sarcastic: "Speaking of which, Miss Ye has been back in Beijing for quite some time. Why did she only think of this today?"
But this statement was quickly refuted.
"That's easy for you to say! She's just a weak woman. It's not easy for her to protect her younger brother and sister-in-law and bring them back to the capital safely! What's more, she has been in trouble since returning to the capital. If I were her, I'm afraid I'd still be lying in bed recuperating and wouldn't even have the strength to go out!"
The troublemaker choked and shrank his neck.
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
They had also heard about the things that happened in the Ye family, and they knew that Ye Chutang really did not have the time or energy to do this before.
The reason why she chose today was probably because Ye Heng's case was finally settled, so she went there specially.
It's a thoughtful gesture, and it can be said to be sincere.
Ye Shixian felt very upset after listening to these words, and she just clenched her teeth secretly.
——What a Ye Chutang! She obviously chose today on purpose!
Could it be... that she had already anticipated that she would come?
But when did she become so smart?
The Ye Chutang in my memory was quiet, even timid and cowardly. Whenever something happened, she always stood behind her father and brother, with a clear and ignorant look in her eyes.
And now...
No!
Ever since she returned to Beijing, she has become a completely different person!
Ye Shixian raised her head and looked forward, she felt that this place and the people here were all unfamiliar to her.
…
The carriage moved forward, and after leaving the city, there were gradually fewer people on the road.
Ye Chutang lifted the curtain and looked outside.
Not far away, there are rolling mountains, and one of the steep peaks is particularly conspicuous.
Xiaowu was originally nestled in her arms, but when he noticed the movement, he opened his eyes.
She followed Ye Chutang's gaze, but seemed to be afraid of something and nervously clutched Ye Chutang's sleeve.
Sensing that slight force, Ye Chutang lowered his eyes, patted her head gently, and said softly:
"Xiaowu, don't be afraid."
She raised her chin.
"Father, mother and brother are all there."
Why fear?
Xiaowu blinked, and the uneasiness in his eyes gradually faded away.
She finally turned her head and looked outside.
