Chapter 98 Borrowing from Chen Yanchuan (Part 1)
Xu Fengchi was slightly stunned.
If someone else said this, he would definitely think that the other person was daydreaming, but when these words came out of Ye Chutang's mouth, he inexplicably felt that - she could really do it!
Just like he had repeatedly told them not to return to the capital to avoid getting into deeper danger, she still came back with A Yan, A Feng and Xiao Wu.
The expected situation did not happen, instead Ye Heng's family encountered constant troubles.
Ever since the day Ye Chutang took the initiative to find him, he had never underestimated this girl, but now he realized that he still underestimated her.
Xu Fengchi said solemnly: "If you need any help, just ask."
Ye Chutang curved his eyebrows and said, "Then I would like to thank Uncle Xu first."
Seeing her beautiful smile and clear and lively eyes, Xu Fengchi also felt relieved.
However, when he thought of another thing, Xu Fengchi frowned again.
"By the way, what did Ye Heng say about the house in Liuwan Lane? When do they plan to move out?"
That was Ye Zheng's house, not his.
At first, everyone thought that Ye Chutang and his siblings were all dead, which gave Ye Heng the opportunity to take over the house silently.
But now that Ye Chutang and the others are back, what reason does Ye Heng have to continue to hold on to it?
Ye Chutang took a sip of tea and shook his head.
Xu Fengchi had actually expected this a long time ago, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
"What's going on with him? Why don't I go talk to him about it!"
Ye Chutang did not plan to let Xu Fengchi come forward.
"After all, this is the Ye family's 'family affair'. It's inappropriate to involve you."
"But - are we just going to let them stay in your house forever?"
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Ye Chutang's lips.
"In a few days, it will be Ah Yan's fourteenth birthday."
Xu Fengchi was stunned, and suddenly realized something: "You mean..."
Ye Chutang said gently: "Fourteen years old is the right age to support the family and start your own business."
…
The meal at Xu's house was much more relaxing and comfortable.
"Sister Chutang, I remember that you used to like eating pea yellow very much. Would you like to try this?" Xu Rongqing said with a smile.
Ye Chutang blinked: "Thank you."
As far as she could remember, the original owner really liked this, but she thought it was too sweet and didn't eat it very often.
After all, it was the other party's good intention.
She picked up a piece for herself. It was soft, sweet and had a rich flavor.
"It's hard to find authentic pea yellow in Jiangling." Ye Chutang glanced at Xiaowu who was eating happily. He didn't know how that little stomach could fit so much food. "Xiaowu likes it too."
Xu Rongqing seemed to be relieved, his brows relaxed: "As long as you like it. In fact, there is a dim sum shop in the west of the city. It has been open for many years. It is very good at making this. If you like it, I will buy it later."
Xu Fengchi glanced at him.
Ye Chutang naturally declined: "That's too much trouble."
Xu Rongqing seemed to realize that he was being too straightforward, and he coughed lightly: "Actually, you can go buy it yourself, but the place is hard to find. How about I take you there later? It just so happens that you haven't been back to the capital for a long time, so you can look around."
Compared to them, Xu Rongqing was indeed quite familiar with the capital.
Ye Chutang was about to speak when the wind suddenly blew outside and blew open the window.
She glanced outside and saw the leaves rustling in the courtyard and the branches swaying in the wind.
There was a slight dampness in the air, making it stuffy and depressing.
"I'm afraid it's not very convenient today." Ye Chutang said, "It looks like it's going to rain."
The sky was already dyed with a large area of dark blue, dark and heavy.
Ye Chutang stood up and said, "This rain should be heavy, why don't we go back first?"
It rains a lot in the capital in summer, sometimes it rains for several days at a time.
Xu Fengchi quickly ordered someone to prepare the car.
When Ye Chutang and the others arrived in front of the carriage, raindrops were already falling.
She raised her hand to cover Xiaowu's head, and suddenly heard some hurried footsteps behind her.
"Sister Chutang!"
Xu Rongqing came over quickly and handed over an oil-paper umbrella.
"Take this with you, in case it rains too hard."
The cool rain fell on my forehead, bringing a chill.
Ye Chutang took the umbrella and smiled at him: "Thank you for your trouble. I will return the umbrella another day."
Xu Rongqing's ears turned red: "Don't be polite, it's just an umbrella, you can keep it!"
Ye Chutang opened the umbrella and held it over Xiaowu's head.
Ye Yunfeng carried the little girl into the carriage, and Ye Jingyan came over and took the umbrella.
"Sister, please get in the car first."
Ye Chutang nodded, lifted her skirt and got on the carriage.
Xu Rongqing watched them leave until the carriage turned the corner and disappeared, then he looked away.
"Rong Qing."
Xu Fengchi suddenly called him.
Xu Rongqing turned around: "Dad, what's wrong?"
Xu Fengchi hesitated and said, "Are you..."
He stopped halfway through his speech.
"Never mind. It's nothing."
Chu Tang just returned to the capital, and there are too many things to verify and resolve. As for the other things... it would be better to find a suitable time to ask her later.
…
The rain came suddenly, and soon there was water on the road.
The raindrops fell, creating ripples.
Ye Yunfeng turned around and asked, "Sister, don't you have to go to the Princess's Mansion today?"
Ye Chutang hummed and wiped a few drops of rain from Xiaowu's face with a handkerchief.
"The princess has recovered well. I don't need to visit her every day. She will be fine after a period of recuperation."
A strong wind blew and the curtain was lifted up. Ye Jingyan immediately went over to tighten it.
The rain kept falling on the carriage, making crackling sounds.
Xiao Wu shrank unconsciously, his little hands tightly clasping Ye Chutang, a hint of panic and fear emerged in the depths of his dark and clear eyes, and his little face turned slightly pale.
Ye Chutang took her into his arms and patted her back gently.
"We'll be home soon."
Ye Chutang coaxed in a low voice.
Xiaowu buried his head in her arms, his little body still trembling.
Ye Yunfeng felt distressed and pulled the reins hard: "Go!"
Ever since the accident three years ago, Xiaowu has been afraid of riding in a carriage. They had been traveling slowly on the way back to Beijing, and her condition had improved a lot. But now the wind and rain were blowing hard and the carriage was constantly beating against it, and she began to get scared again.
Ye Chutang's gaze fell ahead, and he suddenly thought of something and rubbed Xiaowu's head.
"Xiao Wu, you have solved half of the chain lock last time, do you want to solve the rest?"
Xiao Wu gradually calmed down. After a long while, she finally poked her head out of Ye Chutang's arms. The fear in her eyes had not yet completely faded away, and was mixed with a bit of confusion and curiosity.
Chain locks...chain locks...
Ye Chutang pinched her cheek.
"Didn't he say that once you untie them, they'll all be yours?"
Xiaowu frowned.
——But, but the carriage belongs to the prince, it doesn’t seem very convenient.
Ye Chutang fell into deep thought.
Hmm...how about borrowing from Chen Yanchuan?
