Chapter 128: Thank You (Update 1)
Ye Chutang paused and raised his eyes slightly.
Ye Heng also realized that he had lost his composure, and immediately adjusted his expression, trying to make his tone sound calm.
"Those are all my treasures from these years. Many of them are unique copies. If they are damaged, you won't be able to find a second copy."
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the book in his hand.
"'Chunhui Mountain Records'?"
It's a travelogue.
"I didn't know that Second Uncle was still interested in these things."
Ye Heng's throat was dry. He leaned over to pick up the scattered books and paintings while scolding the servants: "What are you still standing there for!"
The servant came to his senses and hurriedly followed to pick up the things.
Only after putting all the things on the ground back into the box did Ye Heng come to Ye Chutang, his eyes fixed on the book in her hand.
"These books are quite interesting. I usually read them when I have nothing to do."
"Really? If I have the chance in the future, I will also read it." Ye Chutang smiled slightly and handed the book back.
Ye Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Ye Chutang has not yet opened it to check the contents.
He put the book back into the box, sealed it, and finally felt relieved. He frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry. What I took away are all my things."
Ever since he had a falling out with Ye Chutang at the Princess's Mansion, Ye Heng no longer had the patience to talk to her.
——He has fallen to this point, why should he still worry about Ye Chutang?
She doesn't know how happy she is right now!
Ye Chutang didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his words, and explained with a faint smile: "Second uncle misunderstood, I came back this time just to return Mr. Xu's umbrella. After all, it's someone else's thing, and it's not appropriate for me to occupy it all the time, don't you think?"
Ye Heng's face turned pale.
Ye Chutang was clearly referring to him!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Heng finally suppressed his anger and said coldly: "That's between you and him, it has nothing to do with others!"
He doesn't care, and he doesn't give a shit!
As he said this, he walked out angrily, making it clear that he didn't want to say another word to Ye Chutang.
Ye Shixian also hurriedly followed.
When she passed by Ye Chutang, she paused, but finally couldn't help herself and gritted her teeth and whispered, "Are you satisfied now?"
Ye Chutang glanced at her sideways, her red lips slightly curved.
"My cousin is joking."
This is just the beginning.
Everything has just begun.
Ye Shixian met her gaze, but saw only an elusive calmness and indifference in her eyes. There seemed to be a sharp edge in her eyes that would hurt people if she got any closer.
Ye Shixian's heart trembled unconsciously. She swallowed the rest of her words, turned around and left quickly.
His steps were hurried and his back looked embarrassed.
Ye Chutang retracted his gaze, looked down at Xiaowu, and winked at her gently.
"sharp."
Xiaowu raised his little face and smiled proudly.
——These are just small things! I just wonder if sister has found what she is looking for?
Ye Chutang picked her up, the scene just now flashed through his mind, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
…
The Ye Mansion was in a mess. Ye Chutang ignored everyone else and went straight to his residence.
Perhaps frightened by the eldest princess, Ye Heng did not send anyone here to act recklessly.
Of course, since Ye Mingze moved away, there is nothing related to it left here.
Quite dirty.
Ye Chutang entered the inner room and came to the bookshelf. He tapped his fingers lightly and a secret compartment appeared on the wall behind him.
By the way, this secret compartment was specially designed for her by my brother, who also taught her how to open and close it.
But they left before they could use it.
Ye Chutang checked it carefully again and found that the belongings of his parents that Xu Fengchi had returned before were still safely placed inside.
She felt a little relieved, closed the secret compartment, picked up the umbrella that Xu Rongqing had borrowed from the bookshelf, and then turned and left.
…
Xu Rongqing was waiting outside the door.
He actually wanted to go in with Ye Chutang, but was declined by Ye Chutang.
Thinking that so many people were watching here and Ye Heng and the others couldn't do anything to her, Xu Rongqing finally felt relieved.
After waiting for a while, I saw Ye Heng and the others coming out first.
Compared with his previous triumphant appearance, Ye Heng today is obviously much more haggard.
He directed the servant to put the things in the carriage and put them in order. Then he saw Xu Rongqing and the carriage of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion parked next to it.
Ye Heng's heart skipped a beat.
He could ignore Xu Rongqing, but Chen Yanchuan——
Ye Heng had no choice but to step forward and salute.
"Sir, why do you have to trouble me?"
The curtain was not opened, only a cold voice came from it.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that the princess was worried that Lord Ye would be tired, so she sent someone to help."
Ye Heng looked at the servant and maid standing side by side behind the carriage and was stunned: "This, this is..."
The man in the carriage seemed to smile.
"These are carefully selected, and they are good at cleaning and tidying up. Sir Ye, please don't hesitate to send them."
…
As time passed, it was almost noon and Ye Heng's family finally moved all their things away.
Several carriages kept going back and forth, not daring to stop for even a moment.
The last trip was to send people off.
Gao stayed in the carriage with a veil on her face, feeling resentful and unwilling.
Ye Mingze was in the same car with her, his body was tied up with ropes and his mouth was stuffed with a scarf.
He struggled constantly, trying to break free from the restraints, but failed, and his eyes turned slightly red.
Ye Heng did this because he was afraid that he would cause trouble.
Although Gao was very distressed, there were people everywhere outside and she didn't dare to go out, for fear that others would see her current appearance, so she could only endure it.
Ye Shixian and Ye Heng were the last to come up.
Because of Ye Chutang's sudden return, the two men were not in a good mood.
Gao finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Master! Are we really leaving like this!?"
What’s the difference between this and being kicked out in public!
From now on, their family will probably become a laughing stock in the entire capital!
Ye Heng said unhappily: "What else!?"
How dare he disobey the eldest princess's order! ?
Gao's face was filled with resentment: "That Ye Chutang! Sooner or later, she will end up like her short-lived parents!"
The more Ye Heng listened, the more annoyed he became: "Alright! Stop talking! Are you afraid that others can't hear you!?"
Ye Shixian couldn't help but draw aside the curtain, only to see Ye Chutang had come out at some point and was standing at the door.
She looked over and smiled.
"Take care, Uncle and Aunt. Come visit us more often when you have time."
Ye Shixian was so angry that her chest ached and she simply let down the curtain.
"Walk!"
The carriage gradually went away. Ye Chutang withdrew his gaze, walked up to Xu Rongqing and handed him the umbrella.
"Mr. Xu, thank you very much for your help before."
