Chapter 319: The Beauty of Begonia (Part 1)
Shen Yanchuan, who had not spoken a word from beginning to end: "..."
He tilted his head slightly and raised his eyebrows.
Just when Ye Chutang felt inexplicably guilty after being looked at by him, he finally spoke, smiling and saying, "I'm really sorry, please forgive me, Miss Ye Er."
Ye Chutang: “…”
She withdrew her gaze, looked at the hazy sky, and thought: Maybe I am too tired these days, so I say such nonsense.
It's time to go back and get more sleep.
"I'm almost there." She raised her chin, indicating that it was time to separate.
Shen Yanchuan stopped and said, "Okay."
He didn't ask Ye Chutang where he was going. Su Pei'er, whom he met on the street the day before, was the answer.
Ye Chutang took two steps forward and noticed that it was very quiet behind him, so he looked back.
"Is there anything else, my lord?"
Chen Yanchuan looked into her eyes and shook his head: "Nothing. But there will be no peace in Shiluan City for some time to come. You——"
Ye Chutang raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. I will leave soon. Ah Yan and Ah Feng still have to go back to the Imperial College for classes."
Hearing her words, Shen Yanchuan knew that she had already made plans and would not stay here for too long, so he felt relieved.
"good."
…
Ye Chutang returned to the courtyard and as soon as he entered the house, he saw Su Pei'er sitting at the head of the bed, looking nervous and looking outside.
Ye Chutang smiled when he saw this, and tapped the corner of the table with his fingers: "Why aren't you asleep?"
Su Peier was startled and turned around to see that it was Ye Chutang who came back. She was immediately surprised and happy: "Ye——"
She stood up and walked quickly forward, lowering her voice, and looked Ye Chutang up and down nervously.
"Miss Ye Er, you are finally back! Did your trip go smoothly? Are you injured?"
She really couldn't imagine how Ye Chutang had entered the strictly guarded mine alone and how he had returned safely.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Ye Chutang casually picked up the handkerchief beside him and wiped his face, looking nonchalant, as if he had just gone out to buy some pastries instead of returning from the dangerous mine.
Su Pei'er saw that she looked normal and did not look injured, so she finally felt relieved after being worried for a long time.
"That's good, that's good!"
However, Ye Chutang's next words immediately shocked her.
"It's just that something happened at the mine." Ye Chutang stretched his aching muscles, threw back the quilt and casually lay down on the small couch, "The city will probably be in chaos tomorrow."
"What?" Su Pei'er covered her lips in surprise.
Ye Chutang explained: "The mine collapsed."
Judging from the commotion at the time, several lives were bound to be lost.
Mining operations have always been very dangerous. Accidents can happen if you are not careful, not to mention that this mine is a——
Ye Chutang narrowed his eyes slightly.
She already had some guesses about the situation in the mine. Although she had not been able to go deep into it for a careful investigation, based on the current information, she was pretty sure of the situation.
Chen Yanchuan should have guessed it.
But I don't know what he plans to do...
"The mine collapsed?!" Su Pei'er's heart, which had just settled down, began beating rapidly again.
Yes, it has rained in Shiluan City for several days, so it is normal for this situation to occur.
But - doesn't this mean that Miss Ye Er was almost buried there as well! ?
If she had a little bad luck, if something unexpected happened, then...
Su Pei'er didn't know what to say for a moment. She raised her eyes to look at Ye Chutang, but saw that she looked calm and composed, as if she didn't feel at all what kind of danger she had just experienced!
After taking several deep breaths, Su Peier calmed herself down, but the look she gave Ye Chutang became even more complicated.
I really don’t know what she has been through in the past. She can be so calm in the face of such a situation.
Ye Chutang felt tired and yawned softly.
Su Pei'er swallowed the rest of her words and tiptoed back to her bed.
Never mind. Second Miss Ye has her own plans.
…
Sure enough, not long after I fell asleep, the little maid knocked on the door outside.
Outside the courtyard wall, one could faintly hear the sound of orderly and hurried footsteps, mixed with occasional scolding, which was quite noisy.
Su Pei'er was awakened and subconsciously looked towards the small couch.
Ye Chutang closed his eyes and was still sleeping.
Su Peier stood up and opened the door halfway, using her body to block the maid's view of the room, and asked softly, "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
"Miss, there was an accident at the mine outside the city!" The little maid opened her eyes wide, and the shock still remained on her young face. "I heard that the mine collapsed! Several people are buried underneath!"
Such an accident was indeed a big deal for the young maid who was inexperienced in the world.
Su Pei'er had heard Ye Chutang say this before, so she was not shocked at this moment, but still looked surprised: "It collapsed? How could this happen?"
"I don't know. They all said it was because of the rain a few days ago... But for some reason, the people from the mine entered the city early in the morning, divided into several groups, and ran around the city. On the surface, they said they were looking for the families of the miners who died, but the scene seemed very grand, and no one knew what was going on!"
The little maid was still frightened.
"I just took a peek through the crack in the door, and they looked pretty fierce!"
If they really wanted to find the families of the victims, there would be no need to make such a big fuss, let alone this situation.
Su Peier resisted the urge to look back and thought to herself.
Could it be that... those people are looking for Miss Ye Er?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Su Pei'er's heart trembled.
She tried her best to look calm: "If they want to investigate, let them do it. It has nothing to do with us, so don't pay any attention to it."
The little maid quickly nodded obediently, then remembered something and asked, "Then...Miss, are we still going out today?"
Su Peier shook her head: "No."
…
After the maid left, Su Pei'er closed the door, thought about it, and walked to the small couch.
"Miss Ye Er?" she called in a low voice.
Ye Chutang's eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes, with a hint of laziness and tiredness between his brows, as if he had not yet woken up.
"Um?"
Su Peier met those watery eyes that seemed to be passing by, and listening to the voice that was still slightly hoarse, her heart beat faster unconsciously.
She clutched her chest.
The sleeping crabapple has a beautiful look, which is really alluring!
She is a woman, and yet she was almost bewitched. If she were a man... seeing this scene, I don't know how moved he would be!
I wonder who will be so lucky in the future to be favored by her at first sight...
Su Peier shook her head, trying her best to suppress the messy thoughts in her mind, and asked nervously:
"Miss Ye Er, people from the mine are coming into town to investigate! Do you think you should hide?"
After hearing this, Ye Chutang seemed to react for a few seconds before he chuckled and asked back.
"hide?"
