Chapter 57 The Storm is Coming
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why does Mingze say that?"
Ye Mingze stared at her angrily: "You still don't admit it? Who else could it be if not you? You clearly have been holding a grudge against my mother for a long time, and you took the opportunity to destroy her face today!"
Instead of showing any anger on his face, Ye Chutang gently shook his head.
"Mingze, I understand that you are worried about Second Aunt's mood, but this matter really has nothing to do with me. You said that I hold a grudge against Second Aunt, but I have only been back in Beijing for a few days, so how can I have any hatred?"
"It's all because of you—" Ye Mingze was halfway through his words when he noticed Chen Yanchuan standing next to him, and the rest of his words were stuck.
He originally wanted to say that Ye Chutang must have taken action to vent his anger on Xiaowu, but he could never say this in front of outsiders!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, the most likely person is you!"
Ye Chutang asked back: "Oh? Since you are so sure, then - where is the evidence?"
Ye Mingze choked.
He was just guessing, where was the evidence?
Ye Chutang thought for a moment and said, "If you still think so, why don't we report it to the police and ask them to investigate thoroughly. The prince is here to be a witness. If it turns out that I did it, I will accept any result. But if not..."
When Ye Chutang said this, his expression became lighter and his eyes became clear.
"Then please apologize to me in public and admit that what you said before was slander."
It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. Ye Mingze shivered and finally came to his senses.
"no!"
He also saw his mother's face just now. It was covered with rashes and scratches, which was very scary.
If it gets out, it won't be a good thing.
After all, his father had just been promoted to the position of Shaoqing of the Dali Temple...
"Mingze!"
A loud shout was heard, and it was Ye Heng who heard the noise and rushed over.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
He quickly cupped his fists and bowed to Shen Yanchuan: "My Lord, please forgive me for making fun of you. My son was too worried about his mother and said nonsense in the heat of the moment. Please don't mind it."
Regardless of whether this matter was related to Ye Chutang or not, without any evidence, she fiercely accused her in front of Shen Yanchuan. Where would Shen Yanchuan's face be?
After all, he just said in front of so many people that he accepted Ye Chutang's favor!
Chen Yanchuan smiled faintly: "It is normal for the noble young master to be worried, but when it comes to reputation, you can't just accuse someone without reason. Especially since Lord Ye is in a high position now, he should be more careful in what he says and does, what do you think?"
Ye Heng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes! You are right!"
Shen Yanchuan dusted off his clothes.
"No need to see me off."
…
The Ye Mansion was destined not to be peaceful tonight.
Ye Mingze was dragged back into the house by Ye Heng by his ears and was ordered not to go out and talk nonsense again.
Gao stayed in her room, smashing all the mirrors like a madman, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Ye Shixian stayed with her for a while and then went to the small kitchen to help her boil the medicine.
Ye Heng's mind was in a mess and he didn't want to care about these things, so he simply went to the study.
"Go check it out! Find out what went wrong!"
Thinking of Gao's horrible appearance, Ye Heng felt a chill down his spine and asked Yu Hong to investigate.
But this is easier said than done.
Because - they don’t even know what kind of poison caused Gao to become like this!
Doctor Zhang gave an ambiguous answer. Ye Heng wanted to ask someone else to take a look, but he was afraid that Zhang Yang would embarrass the Ye family. After thinking it over, he decided to let Gao take the medicine according to the prescription left by Doctor Zhang.
He had invested countless time and energy in today's banquet, but who knew it would be ruined like this!
In fact, he also doubted Ye Chutang in his heart, but since Ye Chutang was acquainted with the son of Marquis Dingbei, he certainly could not treat him casually as before.
Finally, he thought of a solution - asking Ye Chutang to treat Gao.
If she really did it, she must feel guilty!
…
Here, Ye Chutang brought Xiaowu back to the house and brought her a plate of snow pear cakes.
Only half of the meal was eaten and the children are still hungry.
"Let's eat first, and I'll ask your fourth brother to add two more dishes for you later."
Ye Yunfeng took the order and left quickly.
After they returned to the Ye Mansion, except for the first day, they always cooked separately.
At first, Gao pretended to assign servants and maids to serve them, but Ye Chutang politely declined and only kept the maids and servants who were responsible for cleaning.
Gao was naturally happy to save trouble.
Xiao Wu did not eat the snow pear cake immediately. Instead, he took out the purse given by Chen Yanchuan from his arms, ran to the drawer excitedly, turned out the contents of the old purse, counted them one by one, and put them neatly into the new purse.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chutang turned her eyes slightly and glanced at the carved nanmu box that she had casually placed on the table after she came back.
The son of Marquis Dingbei has a profound background, even the gift box is very exquisite.
This box alone is worth a lot of money. I wonder what's inside -
Ye Chutang walked over. The box was not locked, so she opened it with a light flick of her fingertips.
There was a scroll inside.
"Sister, what did he give me?" Ye Jingyan also looked over.
Ye Chutang took out the things and opened them bit by bit.
"painting."
To be precise, this is a landscape painting.
The mountains are towering, the rivers are rushing, the thick and light ink are in harmony, and the tranquility is distant and vast.
Ye Jingyan was surprised when he saw the signature: "Is this... the original work of Chen Songshi, the Grand Secretary?!"
Chen Songshi was a cabinet minister of the time. He was well-read and especially skilled in painting. His paintings were hard to come by.
This painting is probably worth more than a thousand gold coins.
Ye Chutang tilted his head to look at him: "Like?"
Ye Jingyan's gaze lingered on the painting for a moment, then he nodded embarrassedly.
Ordinary people may not even have the chance to take a look at Chen Songshi’s original work, but now they have one in their hands!
Perhaps only the prince of Dingbei Marquis could give such a generous gift at once.
Ye Chutang handed the painting to Ye Jingyan: "If you like it, take it."
Ye Jingyan was stunned: "But sister——"
"After all, this painting cannot be resold. It will just be gathering dust if I keep it. I might as well give it to you."
Ye Jingyan really liked the painting and finally accepted it.
"Thank you, sis."
Ye Chutang looked Ye Jingyan up and down, and suddenly asked, "Ah Yan, you seem to have grown taller again?"
Two months ago, A Yan was only slightly taller than her, but now she has to look up at him.
Ye Jingyan stretched his arms: "It seems so."
These clothes are a little small.
"I'll buy you and Afeng some new clothes later." Ye Chutang glanced at the sky outside. The gray-green clouds gradually piled up, bringing a somewhat oppressive and humid atmosphere. "It may rain tonight. Go and put away all the things in the yard."
It will be on the shelves at 12 o'clock at night~I will try to update more!
