Chapter 37 Old Accounts
Shen Yanchuan didn't answer him, but asked another question.
"You said she was from the capital, but I remember that three years ago, there was a famine in the north, and the capital was not among them. Since she has never encountered a famine, how could she have traveled all the way south to Jiangling?"
Xie Anbai scratched his head.
"I don't know about that, or -"
He chuckled and said, "Go ask yourself?"
Since you like someone, it’s always good to get to know them better!
Chen Yanchuan leaned back in his chair, his slender jade-like fingers gently stroking the teacup.
It goes without saying that Ye Chutang would definitely not tell you, so it's useless to ask.
She seemed to be very secretive about her family's past, otherwise it would be impossible that she had been in Jiangling for three years and people were still not very clear about their past.
If it was just a simple escape from famine, why would there be such secrecy?
Xie Anbai couldn’t guess what Shen Yanchuan was thinking, so he simply mentioned another thing: “By the way, when do you plan to return to the capital?”
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyes: "What?"
Xie Anbai chuckled: "Well, what I mean is, if you plan to go back someday, please tell me in advance and leave me some money -"
Otherwise, he would be wandering around penniless, and his life would be so difficult!
Chen Yanchuan pondered for a moment and said, "I will set off when my injury is completely healed, but - by that time, I probably won't have any extra money to give you."
Lian Zhou nodded vigorously with a heavy face behind him.
——That’s right! Considering Ye Chutang's evil heart, if they stay any longer, they will not only spend all their money but also be in debt!
No matter how rich the master is, he can't stand her being so arrogant!
Xie Anbai: “…”
Outrageous, really outrageous!
Which good guy would use the girl as a shield before he even catches her?
He stood up angrily: "You are so high-minded! You use money to make Dr. Ye happy, but you don't care about your brother's life at all! You really forgot your brother because you got a wife! Do you think I was blind and made a mistake?"
He actually helped investigate Doctor Ye and tried every way to bring the brothers together, but in the end he was the biggest grudge!
Pooh!
…
It was already past noon when Ye Chutang returned home.
But A Yan, A Feng and Xiao Wu had not eaten yet and were sitting at the table waiting for her.
Originally, the two brothers wanted to go with Ye Chutang, but Ye Chutang refused.
It’s not that I’m afraid of blood, but I think it’s unnecessary.
Why waste time and energy when the outcome is already in sight?
"Sister is back!"
Ah Feng had sharp eyes and was the first to notice Ye Chutang, and he immediately exclaimed in surprise.
A Yan immediately looked up and saw her returning relaxed, and he finally felt relieved.
Xiaowu didn't know the inside story, he just felt that he hadn't seen his sister for a long time and missed her very much, so he ran over and threw himself into her arms.
Ye Chutang rubbed her little head: "Eat."
Ye Yunfeng tried to hold back, but couldn't help it: "Sister, what's going on outside?"
Ye Jingyan also looked over, obviously concerned about this matter as well.
"It's quite troublesome." Ye Chutang said.
The brothers' expressions suddenly tensed.
Ye Chutang tilted his head and said, "Jiangling may need a new county magistrate."
"What!?" Ye Jingyan was stunned. He thought that the best outcome today would be to make the Cao family father and son pay the price for what they had done. Who knew that the county magistrate would be involved?
Ye Yunfeng didn't think too much about it, and immediately said happily: "That's great! When those three lives were lost before, he protected the Cao family. He is not worthy of being the county magistrate at all!"
After experiencing all the things that happened during this period, he figured out a lot of things.
"With such a parent official, if you don't have some ability, you will be bullied to death!" Ye Yunfeng snorted, "If it weren't for my sister's method, how could we sit here and eat properly now?"
Ye Yunfeng became more and more excited as he spoke, but when he turned around, he saw that his elder sister still looked indifferent and didn't care.
He couldn't help but ask, "Sister, aren't you happy? This is a good thing!"
Good deeds will be rewarded with good, and evil deeds will be punished with evil. It’s not that there is no reward, it’s just that the time has not come yet!
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly: "What is there to be happy about? Will another one definitely be better than the current one?"
"This——" Ye Yunfeng was choked.
He had never thought about it this way before, but when his sister said it, he realized that it was possible.
Ye Chutang continued calmly: "At any time, the only person you can rely on is yourself. If you put all your hopes on others, you will end up losing everything."
Ye Yunfeng's originally agitated and restless mood calmed down a lot in an instant.
He lowered his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister is right, I remember it!"
Ye Chutang shook his head: "It doesn't matter. No matter what kind of county magistrate comes to Jiangling, it has nothing to do with us."
Ye Jingyan's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed something: "Sister, what do you mean——"
Ye Chutang's dark eyes were calm, and he said, "Pack up your things during this time, and we'll go back to the capital."
"What!?"
Ye Yunfeng was surprised and had the biggest reaction.
"But sister, we had such a hard time getting here..."
The rest of the words were left unsaid, but they all understood the meaning.
They all thought that they would never set foot in the capital again in this life, but who knew that Sister would suddenly -
Ye Yunfeng pursed his lips tightly: "Sister, is someone bullying you? Tell me, I will help you teach them a lesson!"
Ye Chutang shook his head.
"It has little to do with what happened recently. It's mainly for you. Ah Yan is already thirteen. If he continues to stay in the academy here, his whole life will be buried. As for you, Ah Feng, didn't you like the capital the most before? Don't you want to go back?"
"But..." Ye Yunfeng didn't know what to say, and his chest felt inexplicably stuffy.
He liked the prosperous and bustling capital city very much, but that was far less important than what his sister and the others meant to him.
He wanted to persuade her again, but was met with Ye Chutang's calm and gentle gaze.
At this moment he suddenly understood——
"Sister, you, you have been planning to go back for a long time, right?"
Ye Chutang smiled.
"The time has come, and some old scores need to be settled."
Ye Jingyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Wherever Sister goes, I will go."
Xiaowu was confused and looked left and right with his big eyes like black grapes.
She had no impression of the capital, so naturally she didn't know what they were talking about, but - she was the same as her third brother! Wherever her sister goes, she goes!
Ye Yunfeng clenched his fists: "I will listen to you, sister!"
No matter what he will face after returning, he will protect his sister and the others to the end!
Ye Chutang nodded, then remembered something and said, "It's only April now, which is not the official enrollment period for the Imperial College. I'll write a letter later, and when we get to the capital, you two can go directly there so as not to delay your studies."
