"Go out for a walk..."
The man muttered softly, looking at his legs in a daze.
Ever since he was thrown into death row, such thoughts had never crossed his mind again.
He thought that as long as he waited until that person had tortured him enough, he would be free...
However, now, Ye Chutang smiled and told him that when the weather is good in the future, he can go out for a walk by himself and see the scenery around...
It was like words that would only appear in a dream.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and looked up at Ye Chutang. There seemed to be countless emotions surging in his eyes, but in the end, they all turned into one sentence: "Okay! Then I'll wait for that day!"
The corners of Ye Chutang's lips curled up.
The first time she saw him in prison, she knew that he had a strong desire to survive.
Such a person, if given a chance, will be able to survive!
Ye Chutang turned his head to look at Chen Yanchuan again, "By the way, this cloth strip must be untied for half an hour every morning and evening, cleaned with warm water, and the skin and muscle condition must be observed at any time. His leg has been broken for too long, so this cloth strip will take longer to use, about half a year. It is inconvenient for me to come here often, so during this period, please find someone to take good care of him, Prince."
Chen Yanchuan nodded, "Okay."
Ye Chutang packed up his things and left.
"Xiaowu is still waiting for me in the flower hall, so I won't stay any longer. I will come to see you again after a while." She said with a smile.
When I turned around to leave, the voice finally came again -
"My last name is Di."
Ye Chutang's eyelashes twitched slightly and he looked back.
He sat there, with a faint smile on his tough face.
"If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Di from now on!"
Ye Chutang's eyes narrowed.
"Okay, Uncle Di."
…
After finishing all this, it was already evening.
Ye Chutang and Shen Yanchuan walked side by side along the corridor.
The setting sun shone obliquely, and the columns cast shadows on the white walls. The cut light jumped over the two people, forming silhouettes of them leaning against each other.
"Has there ever been an official with the surname Di in the court?" Ye Chutang asked.
Chen Yanchuan shook his head, "There is none in the capital. However, we can ask the Black Cavalry to expand the scope and investigate."
Ye Chutang smiled, not seeming to care much, "Since he is willing to talk about it, he is not afraid that we will investigate him. Either he doesn't care, or... he is sure that we can't find out."
Whatever the reason was, the fact that he said this showed that he had already let down his guard against them.
Take your time, the truth will come out.
"He is definitely not an unknown person, but even I never knew that there was such a person imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice." Shen Yanchuan thought thoughtfully, "It can be seen that the person who put him in this situation must have an even more powerful identity and is very likely to hold great power."
Otherwise, it would be impossible to conceal the truth to such an extent!
Ye Chutang tilted his head slightly to look at him.
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ye Chutang had a teasing smile on his lips, "I was wondering, do you look alike to Marquis Dingbei? He recognized you right away."
It was almost a year since Ye Chutang returned to Beijing, but he had never met Shen Youyan.
If it weren't for what happened today, she wouldn't have been so curious.
Chen Yanchuan pondered for a moment, his eyes drifting away, "Actually, my father once said that I look more like my mother. It's just that she passed away a long time ago, and I don't have a deep impression of her. Now... I can hardly remember what she looked like."
Ye Chutang was slightly startled, "Is that so..."
"But you, your eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Mr. Ye." Shen Yanchuan looked at her and suddenly said.
"My father?"
Ye Chutang pointed at himself.
Chen Yanchuan nodded, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, "But Lord Ye is upright and sharp, but you are gentle and calm, which is quite different from his temperament."
Ye Chutang blinked gently, "Really?"
She was in a trance for a moment.
In fact, she seldom looked at her own face carefully and had never thought about whether she looked more like her father or her mother.
No matter how you think about it, they will never come back.
But sometimes when she sees Ayan and Afeng growing up, she feels that they are very similar to her brother in some ways.
Just then, a small figure ran over from the front.
It’s Xiaowu.
She threw herself into Ye Chutang's arms, raised her little head, opened her big eyes, and looked at her eagerly.
Ye Chutang glanced at Yun Cheng who was following behind her and asked with a smile, "What? Have you finished eating the cakes?"
Xiaowu nodded and curled his lips.
Yun Cheng bowed to the two of them, then smiled and patiently explained, "Miss Ye Wu was not greedy, she only used a few pieces of peach cakes. I was afraid that she would be bored waiting alone, so I played chess with her for a while."
Ye Chutang suddenly realized and looked down at Xiaowu, "Are you so angry because of losing?"
Xiao Wu: “…”
Sister, what you said is too direct!
Besides, she only lost eleven games, so there's no way she was getting angry! ?
Yun Cheng coughed lightly, and felt embarrassed. "Ms. Ye Wu is still young, but her chess skills are already amazing. If she were a few years older, it would be easy for her to beat me."
"Don't spoil her." Ye Chutang pinched Xiao Wu's cheek and said with a smile, "When she is at home, Third Brother always gives in to her, so she can't help but be proud. Today is a good opportunity for her to see that there are always people better than you. Xiao Wu, why don't you thank Master Yun Cheng for his guidance? Such an opportunity is so rare, others can't even get it if they want it."
Xiao Wu was actually convinced in her heart, but she had clearly...
Ye Chutang remained calm: "Second Master Xie lost to you on purpose."
Chen Yanchuan: “…”
Xiaowu was skeptical.
--Really? But it didn’t look like it at the time…
Ye Chutang remained motionless and said calmly, "If you don't believe me, next time you meet Second Young Master Xie, play another round with him and see who wins and who loses."
Xiaowu agreed with this very much and nodded vigorously.
Then, she turned around, held her belly with her two little hands, and bowed to Yun Cheng seriously.
Yun Cheng watched this scene and finally understood how Ye Chutang had raised his brothers and sisters by himself in the past few years.
He also politely bowed in return.
Ye Chutang then took Xiaowu's hand and said goodbye to Shen Yanchuan.
…
After the two left, Yun Chengcai remembered the special person living in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Master, that person's identity..."
"Send someone to check if there was an official named Di who entered the capital five years ago."
"Didi?" Yun Cheng reacted and immediately answered, "Yes."
Shen Yanchuan was about to walk back when he suddenly remembered something and stopped.
"Has anyone checked on him?"
Yun Cheng shook his head. "No. After the fire in the Ministry of Justice, our people replaced the body with a similarly broken leg, and disposed of it the next day along with the other prisoners who died in the riot. No trace was left behind."
Since the body has disappeared, there is naturally no way to find it. (End of this chapter)
