Chapter 344: Reporting to the Police (Fourth Update)
Baijing Lane.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around and that they were about to ask Ye Chutang to give an explanation, the groom turned around nervously and asked worriedly, "Second Miss, what should we do now?"
If this continues, I'm afraid it will be bad!
There was no panic in Ye Chutang's eyes, he just lowered his eyes to glance at Xiaowu in his arms.
Xiaowu leaned close to her, listening to her regular heartbeat, and his uneasiness and fear gradually dissipated.
She didn't care about the people outside the carriage, but... her sister was framed.
Xiaowu was very unhappy.
Her chubby little face was tense. She glanced at Ye Shixian and pretended to stand up and block her sister behind her.
Ye Chutang noticed her movements, and a faint smile flashed across his eyes.
She patted Xiaowu gently and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it."
Xiao Wu then stopped, but his little hand was still tightly grasping the corner of Ye Chutang's clothes.
The crowd became more and more noisy, with some blaming and even cursing Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang pretended not to hear anything and just looked at Ye Shixian with a clear and calm voice.
"Okay, I promise."
Ye Shixian, who was crying uncontrollably, was suddenly stunned, with tears hanging on her eyelashes and refusing to fall.
She didn't react for a moment: "What?"
Ye Chutang said: "Don't you want justice from me? Well, I'll give it to you."
She settled Xiaowu, got off the carriage alone, and confronted Ye Shixian.
She seemed to be shrouded in an invisible aura, and just by standing there, people could not help but feel awe.
The noisy crowd gradually quieted down.
In the silence, Ye Chutang's voice sounded particularly clear and calm.
"Since you said that I killed your mother, then I am suspected of murder. This involves human life, and just apologizing is far from enough. According to the law, I should report it to Shuntian Prefecture, and arrest those who should be arrested, and kill those who should be killed!"
Ye Shixian opened her eyes wide in disbelief, thinking she had heard it wrong.
Does Ye Chutang know what he is talking about?
Ye Shixian felt something was wrong and subconsciously opened her mouth to refute, but before she could say anything, Ye Chutang looked around and asked loudly:
"I wonder if anyone would be so kind as to help report this to the authorities and ask the people from Shuntian Prefecture to come?"
The air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere became extremely strange and weird for a moment.
Ye Chutang's move confused everyone - what was she doing?
Is there any criminal in this world who would voluntarily report to the police?
What is this called? Turning yourself in?
It doesn’t seem right either.
Ye Chutang didn't seem to think there was anything strange about her doing this. Seeing that no one responded, she looked at Shaoyao and raised her chin slightly.
"Then go ahead."
Shaoyao was also stunned: "Ah?"
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly, but his voice was cold: "Why, you are not willing to do your master's work?"
Shaoyao was almost choked to death by these words!
She wanted to retort, but after thinking it over, she found that she couldn't refute it at all.
After all, every word Ye Chutang said made sense.
In a panic, Shaoyao had no choice but to look to Ye Shixian for help.
Ye Shixian’s teeth were about to break.
She never thought that Ye Chutang would do such a thing!
Everything was going very smoothly, and many people even believed that her mother's death was forced by Ye Chutang.
Of course Ye Chutang would deny it, but this is what she was waiting for!
As long as Ye Chutang stubbornly refutes her, she can take advantage of the situation and make everyone believe that Ye Chutang is angry and humiliated, and pin the crime on Ye Chutang!
But - who could have expected that Ye Chutang would actually drag the government into it!
Ye Shixian said in a hateful voice: "You don't need to talk nonsense here! You can't escape responsibility for my mother's death!"
"The more this happens, the more you can't let me go easily, right?" Ye Chutang looked at her sincerely and consoled her kindly, "Only by asking the government to come and find out the evidence of my crime can I be thrown into the prison and truly give you and your mother justice. What do you think?"
Ye Chutang sighed softly, with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"Second uncle was exiled to Tongguan, Mingze has died, and only you and Second Aunt are left to depend on each other. But now Second Aunt is gone too. If you don't stand up for her, who else can make her clear her will to die and eliminate all her sorrow and resentment?"
Ye Shixian felt numb all over and all the blood rushed to her head.
“You, you——!”
She was breathing rapidly, her pale lips trembling violently, and she seemed like she would faint at any moment from anger.
Ye Chutang dared to bring it up, she actually dared to bring it up!
All of these things had a lot to do with her! She could actually say it so lightly!
The onlookers gradually realized that something was wrong.
——Ye Shixian kept saying that it was Ye Chutang who caused her mother to hang herself, but now that Ye Chutang took the initiative to report to the police and ask someone to investigate, she was reluctant to agree.
Ye Chutang waited for a moment, frowned slightly, and seemed a little puzzled.
"If not for this, why are you here at this time?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Now, even a fool can see that there is something fishy!
Ye Shixian opened her mouth, but she couldn't say the words.
Gradually, people began to discuss in low voices.
"What's going on here? The murderer wants to report to the police, but the victim won't?"
"Yes! I do think what Ye Chutang said makes sense. Since human lives are involved, it is most appropriate to ask the government to handle it."
"Humph, I think she is just bluffing! Ye Shixian brought her mother's dying blood letter with her! How could it be fake?!"
"Who knows whether it's true or not? Gao's incident at Yunlai Tavern happened half a month ago. If she was really forced to commit suicide out of anger, it should have been then, right? How come she suddenly hanged herself after such a long time?"
There is some truth in what you said.
The capital city is huge, and there are countless exciting things happening every day. But in the end, they are just like a stone thrown into a lake, causing a few ripples before quickly returning to calm. There is no trace, and no one will remember it.
Ye Shixian also heard these words and became even more flustered.
She forced herself to calm down, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and choked up again: "You knew that my mother had just experienced the pain of her family being torn apart and the pain of losing her son! But you are still so mean! Everyone knows that you are the last straw that broke the camel's back!"
Ye Chutang seemed not to hear her words and just insisted, "So, you still don't want to report to the police?"
Ye Shixian was suddenly speechless.
"Sister!"
The boy's familiar voice seemed particularly clear at this moment.
Ye Chutang raised his eyes and saw Ye Jingyan walking towards him quickly.
The crowd automatically made way for him to pass.
Ye Jingyan first looked at Ye Chutang, then looked at the carriage.
"I'm fine, Xiaowu is fine too, they just got a little scared." Ye Chutang consoled, "You came at the right time, since they don't want to go, you can go."
