Chapter 40 Don't be afraid, go home with Sister
Xie Anbai is a notorious troublemaker in the capital. He does not do any serious work, but is good at eating, drinking and having fun.
He is successful, has extensive connections and is well-informed.
Since these words came from his mouth, one can't help but think more about it.
"Do you know him?" Shen Yanchuan asked with a raised eyebrow.
Xie Anbai stroked his chin and thought for a long time, then frowned and shook his head: "No. If I had seen someone who looked like this, I would definitely have an impression of him."
The first time he met Ye Chutang was at night. It was dark and they were at a distance, so he couldn't see her carefully.
At that time I just thought she was a rare beauty, but when I looked at her again now, I realized that the smile on her face standing by the door looked strangely familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere before.
But after thinking about it, Xie Anbai still couldn't figure out where this inexplicable feeling of familiarity came from.
"Maybe I saw it wrong!" Xie Anbai simply gave up. "Maybe I saw them from afar in the capital before, but it's hard to say. After all, the capital is so big, it's normal that many people won't see each other again. Besides, didn't they come to Jiangling three years ago? Maybe they were not in the capital even earlier."
Chen Yanchuan's eyes dimmed: "Is that so."
Xie Anbai had been in the capital longer than him and knew more about it. If even he said so, it would be difficult to investigate.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "By the way, I heard that things are not very peaceful in the capital recently?"
This was a polite question.
Xie Anbai snorted and laughed: "More than that! It's a complete mess! The last Tongzhou river bank corruption case implicated a large group of people, and many positions have been vacated, especially the vacant position of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Several parties are eyeing it covetously and fighting for it!"
If he didn't want to avoid this trouble, he wouldn't have run out so easily.
"This matter has not been finalized yet, but another thing is certain - Xu Fengchi has made a great contribution this time and will be promoted."
Xie Anbai couldn't help but sigh.
"If you are promoted again, you will be the third-rank Left Vice-Censor-in-Chief. It is not something that ordinary people can achieve at this age."
Chen Yanchuan picked up a chess piece, stared at the chessboard for a moment, and slowly made his move.
This was expected and he was not surprised.
"Indeed." He nodded slightly. "Without aristocratic family background and without external help, it is indeed rare to fight for this position."
Xie Anbai looked at him in surprise: "It's rare that you would take the initiative to praise someone? I remember that you are not very familiar with this person. Why are you concerned about these things now?"
Chen Yanchuan raised his thin lips slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Since you have decided to go back, you should learn more and be prepared."
…
The case of Cao's father and son was quickly sentenced, and both were beheaded.
In addition, Liu Yiyi has done a lot of shameful things in the name of Yang Zhen in recent years, and was reduced to a pariah and exiled to the western border.
Everyone knows what this means. It is almost impossible for a woman with a certain appearance to survive.
Yang Zhen was also implicated, stripped of his official position, and detained for investigation.
In short, overnight, everything I had dreamed of disappeared.
For several days in a row, people in the streets of Jiangling were discussing these topics enthusiastically.
On a sunny morning, a carriage left the door of Ye’s Clinic and went out of the city through the west gate.
Aunt Yang was the first to notice this abnormality.
"Hey? Doctor Ye, where is your family member?"
Aunt Yang looked into the yard and couldn't help asking.
Ye Chutang naturally knew who she was talking about, and said, "Mr. Shen has recovered from his injuries and has left."
"Ah? Just leaving like that?" Aunt Yang's face showed a hint of regret.
Although Mr. Shen is not in good health, his face is really impeccable. Even if you just stay here and look at him every day, it will be good!
"I was originally saying that I would talk to you guys about it! I think Xiaowu seems to be quite close to him? If you, Doctor Ye, really don't want to get married, it's not impossible for you to find him as a companion!"
Aunt Yang looked melancholy: "Why did he leave so soon? What a pity!"
Ye Chutang: “…”
I can't believe that after so long, Aunt Yang still cares about this matter.
"Don't worry about me. I will take Ah Yan, Ah Feng and Xiao Wu away tomorrow." Ye Chutang said, taking some medicines that he had prepared in advance. "Here are the medicines I made with my own recipes. If you have a headache or a fever, just take them."
Aunt Yang opened her eyes wide and asked in disbelief, "What? You guys are leaving too!?"
"Yes." Ye Chutang smiled, "I happened to contact a distant relative a few days ago."
Aunt Yang understood instantly and she felt excited and sad, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She moved her lips a few times, as if she had a lot to say, but in the end she just patted Ye Chutang's hand.
"Okay! Okay! Now that someone is taking care of you, you don't have to work so hard anymore, right?"
She really felt sorry for Ye Chutang, so when she heard that they were leaving, although she was reluctant, she was more happy for them.
"Wait a minute then! I'll get you some food and supplies, while you're on your way—"
She was about to get up when Ye Chutang stopped her, "You don't have to worry about anything. Afeng and the others have already packed up their things. We will leave early tomorrow morning. Today is our farewell to you."
Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly, his eyes sincere: "Thank you for your care over the past few years."
Aunt Yang felt like something was surging in her chest. She couldn't say anything when the words came to her lips. Finally, she could only choke and say, "Why thank you? I should be the one thanking you! This yard is still there. If you are not happy there, you can always bring Xiaowu and the others back!"
Ye Chutang narrowed his eyes.
"good."
…
On the second day, Ye Chutang got up as soon as the sky began to turn pale.
She pulled the half-asleep Xiaowu out of the quilt. Xiaowu was still half asleep. He stretched out his two little arms to hug Ye Chutang's neck and rubbed it in her arms.
A carriage was parked outside the door. Ye Jingyan stood aside, and Ye Yunfeng was in front, responsible for driving.
They did not bring much with them, as all the books had been burned the day before under Ye Chutang's instructions. They only took some spare clothes and gold and silver jewelry, traveling light.
Ye Chutang carried Xiaowu to the front of the carriage, and Ye Jingyan helped to lift the curtain.
However, just as Ye Chutang stepped onto the carriage, Xiaowu in her arms suddenly moved. The little hands involuntarily hugged Ye Chutang tightly, and she closed her eyes and buried herself in Ye Chutang's arms.
Her small body was trembling ever so slightly.
Ye Chutang lowered his eyes slightly, hugged her tighter, and patted her little breasts gently.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaowu."
She whispered,
"Go home with my sister."
