Chapter 362: The Poisonous Oath (Part 2)
The servant was stunned: "Ah? I think so...but why are you asking this?"
Ye Chutang took Xiaowu's hand and his eyes curved slightly.
"After being bored at home for a few days, it's time to go out and have some fun."
…
Time passed slowly, and Ye Shixian was filled with anxiety.
She knew that many people were looking at her at the moment, but she couldn't care less.
Right now, she only regretted one thing - not being able to notice Shaoyao's disloyalty earlier!
Seeing that the door was still closed, Ye Shixian finally couldn't hold back and stepped forward.
"I must go through this gate today!"
The servant guarding the door was naturally not polite, and Hong Tao was also surprised and subconsciously tried to stop Ye Shixian.
"Ms. Ye! What are you doing?!"
If she had known that Ye Shixian was so difficult to serve, she would never have come!
Hong Tao looked around and lowered her voice: "If the young master knew about this, I'm afraid he would be unhappy! Please listen to my advice, let's not..."
But how could Ye Shixian listen to her?
She shook off Hong Tao's hand and pretended to force her way in.
"She, Ye Chutang, harmed my mother, don't I even have the right to come to her and ask for an explanation!?"
Hong Tao was caught off guard and was pushed away by her. She staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
Ye Shixian has already rushed forward.
However, at this moment, the door creaked and slowly opened to both sides.
Ye Chutang held Xiaowu's hand and stood quietly.
The crowd was suddenly in an uproar——
"The door is open! Ye Chutang is out!"
"She finally showed up. I thought she was going to hide away for the rest of her life!"
"How is that possible? It's been several days since the incident happened, and Shuntian Prefecture will soon close the case. Even if she doesn't want to come out, she can't go against the government, right?"
"That's true. Although Ye Shixian was a little extreme, it's understandable. Who can be calm and peaceful when their mother was killed?"
"That's right. If I were her, I wouldn't be able to endure these few days and would have come to her house long ago! How can someone who hurt others live in peace and act as if nothing happened?"
"Well... I remember that Gao's death has not been concluded yet. The government hasn't even come up with a result yet. How come everyone is convinced that Ye Chutang was responsible? I heard that there were some traces at the scene. It didn't look like suicide, but more like homicide..."
"How could it be murder? The yard they lived in was so remote and not very big. If someone sneaked in in the middle of the night and did it, how could no one notice?"
…
Everyone was watching and saying all kinds of things.
But it is obvious that most people are on Ye Shixian's side.
When they saw Ye Chutang appear, many people showed disgust.
Ye Chutang turned a deaf ear and just looked at Ye Shixian indifferently.
"The seven-day deadline has not yet arrived. I wonder what you are asking for by coming to me?"
Her tone was calm, yet she seemed to be shrouded in an invisible aura that made people unconsciously feel distant and awed.
Especially when those dark and quiet eyes looked over, it was like a whirlpool hidden beneath the calm surface of a lake, which could easily swallow up everything.
Ye Shixian's heart trembled, and somehow she felt a little timid and took a step back.
But she quickly realized that if she was so cowardly, wouldn't she feel guilty in the eyes of others?
What does she have to feel guilty about!
Thinking of this, Ye Shixian mustered up her courage again and looked past Ye Chutang and behind her.
There is no sign of peony.
But this does not prove that the peony is not hidden here.
Ye Shixian gritted her teeth and said, "Ye Chutang, don't think you can hide it from the world. What you did will be known to others sooner or later!"
Ye Chutang laughed, as if he heard a joke.
She asked back, "I hid the truth? What do you mean?"
"You——" Ye Shixian was suddenly speechless.
Of course she couldn't tell everyone that she was here to see Shaoyao.
She stared at Ye Chutang, carefully observing her expression, trying to see something from her face.
But Ye Chutang looked calm and composed, not dodging or evading, and looked open and honest.
She held it in for a long time, not knowing how to respond to Ye Chutang's words, but Ye Chutang had already noticed Hong Tao behind her and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Second Aunt just passed away, her body is still warm, and you still have the time to change a maid for yourself?"
Ye Shixian's heart skipped a beat.
Hong Tao didn't expect that she would have something to do here, but she had to speak up:
"Master Murong was worried that Miss Ye would be too sad after losing her mother so he sent me to take care of her."
There is nothing wrong with what he said. Everyone knows exactly what the relationship between Murong Ye and Ye Shixian is.
It is normal for him to show more concern when his sweetheart encounters such a thing.
Ye Shixian's heart also felt a little more at ease.
She stared at Ye Chutang resentfully: "You have no right to mention my mother!"
Ye Chutang raised the corners of his lips slightly, but there was a coldness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"I didn't harm her, why am I not qualified to mention it?"
Ye Shixian's voice was sharp: "You said you didn't do it, did you really not do it? You——"
"I, Ye Chutang, am risking the lives of my entire family today. If I kill Gao, none of us will have a good end!" Ye Chutang suddenly interrupted her, speaking every word in a cold tone.
All the noisy sounds disappeared in an instant, and countless people looked in astonishment.
Who could have thought that Ye Chutang would dare to swear such a vicious oath!
Even Ye Shixian was confused. She forgot all the words she had prepared and just stood there stiffly.
Ye Chutang looked at her who suddenly fell silent with an indifferent look in his eyes, and continued: "At the same time, I also pray with all my heart: those who plotted to murder Gao must be punished by being torn apart by a chariot and lingchi, and die a miserable death!"
"Ye Chutang!"
A sharp and shrill voice broke the silence of the long street.
Ye Shixian's expression was distorted, she was gasping violently, her chest was heaving, her whole body was shaking, and her face was as pale as a ghost.
Ye Chutang looked straight into her eyes and asked slowly:
"Why, you can't listen to this?"
Ye Shixian's mind was in a mess. She wanted to open her mouth to speak, but she couldn't utter a word.
Everyone also realized that something was wrong and gradually became agitated.
"What's going on? Ye Chutang swore a poisonous oath, but Ye Shixian got anxious?"
"Isn't this... a problem?"
"Why do I feel that Ye Chutang is open and honest, but Ye Shixian seems a little bit wrong..."
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will quickly take root and sprout.
Ye Chutang's words were so harsh and frank that the others were at a loss.
In contrast, Ye Shixian's reaction was very strange.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the distance.
Ye Shixian subconsciously looked back and saw Zhang Qian leading a team of soldiers coming quickly!
Seeing Ye Shixian, he waved his hand with a serious expression.
"Ye Shixian is suspected of murdering Gao, arrest her immediately and put her in jail!"
