Chapter 134 Who are you asking for? (Update 1)
The first ray of sunlight in the early morning finally shone down and fell on Ye Chutang's face, making her look even more calm and composed.
She sat there with her back straight and her eyes downcast as she flipped through the book in her hands, like a meticulous painting with simple meaning.
Ye Yunfeng came to her side and asked curiously: "Sister, you have been reading this book for a long time, but have you figured out anything?"
Ye Chutang did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he pressed his slender fingertips on one of the pages and rubbed it gently.
Then she held up the book and opened the page to the sunlight.
Compared to the one she bought from the bookstore, the one she had in her hand now was very different.
The most obvious point is that the paper in my hand is not thin enough, and the corners seem a bit uneven, making the whole book look much rougher.
Ye Heng is a person who cares a lot about his reputation. How could he read such a crudely printed book?
Ye Chutang was quiet for a moment, rubbing his fingertips lightly.
A layer of leaves as thin as a cicada's wing, with slightly curled edges.
"This book has two layers!?" Ye Yunfeng saw it clearly from the side and looked shocked.
Ye Chutang tried to continue peeling, but the page was sealed very tightly. She could only barely see one-fifth of the page, and the rest could not be completely peeled off for the time being. Ye Chutang did not persist and gave up after trying twice.
This book is hard to come by, so it must be preserved well and not damaged in any way.
Probably woken up by Ye Yunfeng's voice, Xiaowu, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes drowsily and subconsciously looked for Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang glanced at Ye Yunfeng.
Ye Yunfeng chuckled: "It's all my fault! I was so anxious that I forgot that Xiaowu was here too!"
Ye Jingyan stood up and held Xiaowu in his arms. He also looked over and asked directly, "Sister, did you see clearly what was written inside?"
"Just a few words, nothing confirmed yet."
Ye Chutang rubbed Xiaowu's cheek. Xiaowu glanced at the book in her hand unintentionally and was stunned.
Noticing her expression, Ye Chutang's eyebrows moved slightly: "What's wrong, Xiaowu? What are you looking at?"
Xiaowu tilted his head, raised his little hand and gestured to Ye Chutang twice.
Ye Chutang had a vague guess in his heart.
Ye Yunfeng was confused and couldn't help asking, "What does Xiaowu mean by this?"
Xiaowu simply ran out of Ye Jingyan's arms, kicking his short legs.
Then, she took out a book from the bedside cabinet.
To be precise, it was an account book.
Ye Jingyan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ye Chutang: "Sister, this is not what you asked me to copy last time--"
Ye Chutang nodded slightly.
Xiaowu had already run back, raised his little face and held the account book high in his hand.
Ye Chutang quickly recognized it: "This is the account book of one of the pawn shops."
At that time, she asked Ye Heng to return the account books of the shops for the past three years, and asked A Yan to copy them all as quickly as possible and make an identical set.
I didn't expect that Xiaowu would find it out at this moment.
Xiaowu was a little anxious, so he simply opened the account book, then stopped at a certain page and pointed with his little hand.
Ye Jingyan looked around twice and finally found the problem: "April 13th... Wait! Is this the real account book of that pawn shop!?"
In the hole opened by Ye Chutang, there was a line of handwriting that could not be fully read.
They didn't notice it at first glance, but when they put the two books together, they found that they looked exactly the same!
Ye Yunfeng blinked, raised the corners of his lips, and could not hide his pride: "Great, Xiaowu! You can even find this out?"
If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to associate anything else with the hidden words and traces they saw based on the one-fifth that Ye Chutang uncovered.
Xiaowu only took two glances and found that it matched the account book perfectly!
Ye Chutang couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.
Xiaowu's sensitivity to numbers was even more amazing than she had expected. Coupled with his photographic memory, it was simply terrifying.
Xiao Wu was happy to hear the compliment, but she soon thought of another thing. She looked up at Ye Chutang, pointed at the two books and shook her head.
-Sister, the date here and the name of the item that was pawned that day are the same, but the numbers don’t match!
Ye Chutang touched her little face and smiled: "Thank you, Xiaowu, I understand."
…
"Sister, what on earth do you think he was thinking? He went to such great lengths to record the real account between the pages of the book?"
Ye Jingyan had seen many people hiding account books and making false accounts before, but he had never seen a situation like this.
"If my sister hadn't noticed the abnormality of his book that day, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark."
Although some time has passed, Ye Jingyan couldn't help but sigh when he thought about it again.
Ye Chutang lowered his eyes and looked at the two books on the table.
Although the real account book is right in front of her, it is not so easy to take a look at it.
This book is very delicately made, and it would not work if you tried to do it by brute force.
She gently pressed it with her slender fingertips and suddenly asked, "What's the situation in Fengling Lane now?"
When this was mentioned, Ye Yunfeng immediately became excited.
"What else can we do? The fire started from the west wing, and now it has become a ruin!"
Ye Chutang tilted his head: "Only one room was burned?"
"Of course not only that!" Ye Yunfeng touched his chin, "Even one third of their courtyard was burned!"
Ye Chutang nodded gently and said softly:
"My second uncle and his family suffered a huge loss this time, so it is only right that we visit them and offer them some comfort."
…
The Princess's Mansion.
Princess Qinyang got off her horse and walked in with big strides.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure in front of her and greeted him quickly.
"elder brother!"
Shen Yanchuan paused and looked back.
Princess Qinyang followed immediately.
"Brother, I haven't seen you much recently, what are you busy with?"
Chen Yanchuan said in a lazy tone: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Princess Qinyang: "..."
She looked at the man in front of her and suddenly gave a strange smile.
"It's nothing, actually! I just wanted to ask, when are you planning to go to Wulan Mountain?"
Chen Yanchuan tilted his head slightly: "Are you going too?"
Princess Qinyang has always liked crowded places since she was a child, and has never been very interested in Wulan Mountain. This time, she actually took the initiative to ask...
"Yes!" Princess Qinyang replied immediately.
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It's lonely and deserted in the mountains. I'm afraid you won't get used to it."
Princess Qinyang glared at him.
Can this person speak?
She rolled her eyes.
"Actually, I'm asking this for someone else. If you don't want to tell me, then just don't tell me!"
After saying that, she swaggered forward, as if she really didn't care.
Shen Yanchuan then asked casually: "Help? Help whom?"
Princess Qinyang stood still, her face full of pride.
"Of course - Doctor Ye!"
Chen Yanchuan's heart moved and he looked up.
