Ye He is fine, but sufficient evidence must be found to clear his name of the charges.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to gain the trust of the public.
Moreover, the things those people in the Marquis's mansion did to the original owner are not so easily forgotten!
She not only wants to help the original owner get back what rightfully belonged to her, but also wants to make those people pay the price.
Anyone who ever bullied the original owner will not be allowed to escape.
Having the experience from the previous trip, the return journey was significantly faster this time.
They arrived in the capital in just one day.
Upon arriving in the capital, Ye Jintang did not return directly to the Marquis's residence, but instead had Lühe find an inn to stay at.
Right now, the thing she has in abundance is money.
Upon arriving at the inn and entering the room, Lühe continued to look around, her eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Jintang had noticed Lühe's confusion earlier, and even after entering the house, he still asked her the same question.
"Miss, don't you feel like someone has been following us all this way?"
After Ye Jintang asked her, Lühe finally voiced her doubts.
“There are indeed people following us.”
Ye Jintang responded to Lühe's words, glancing towards a corner outside.
"Leng Yi, you can go back now and take the rest of the men to report back to your master."
Leng Yi and the other guards, who were hiding in the shadows, were shocked when they heard Ye Jintang's words.
They had been protecting her secretly all along, without exposing themselves, yet Miss Ye and those around her still managed to discover something amiss.
Was it that their ability to hide was too weak, or that Miss Ye was too formidable?
Just after Ye Jintang said this, Leng Yi also appeared from the shadows.
“Miss Ye, our master’s orders are for us to escort you back.”
"If you stay at the inn..."
Leng Yi worried that if they left, Ye Jintang and her maid would be women after all, and might not be able to handle any trouble that might arise.
When Leng Yi appeared, Lü He warily stood protectively beside Ye Jintang.
As she left the valley, she sensed something was amiss, and it turned out that it wasn't just her imagination.
Judging from the tone of this person's voice when speaking to his young mistress, it seemed that they knew each other.
"The fact that I was able to find you proves that your existence is nothing but a burden."
"I don't want to say the same thing a second time."
Ye Jintang turned around and led Lühe into the house, followed by the sound of the door closing.
“Leng Yi, since Miss Ye doesn’t need protection, then we…”
The other guards were shocked by Ye Jintang's arrogance, but they dared not offend him easily.
After all, these were the people their master wanted to protect.
You know, over the years, the only person who could make their master so different is probably this Miss Ye.
"Go back and report the situation here to the master."
inside the house.
Green Lotus nervously looked out the window until she saw the people leave, then returned to Ye Jintang's side.
"Miss, they have already left."
Ye Jintang gave a soft "hmm." She knew that with Leng Yi and his group's skills, they could leave silently if they wanted to. Their choice to let her and Lühe see them was also a way of showing their attitude at this moment.
As for why Green Lotus was able to sense the presence of these people, it was because she had pasted a talisman around the carriage. As long as someone appeared within a fifty-meter radius, they would be sensed by the people around the talisman.
"Miss, at first I thought they were from the Marquis's side."
Only after confirming that everything was alright did Lühe voice her concerns.
"You don't need to worry about the Marquis's residence. Jiang Mubai is too busy to take care of himself right now. Even if he finds out we're not here, there's nothing he can do."
"Should we go back to the Marquis's mansion?" Green Lotus asked, puzzled. Ever since the general's accident and the Marquis brought Su Xuerou back to the mansion and said he would marry her as a concubine, her young lady's personality had changed a lot.
"Of course I'll go back, but not now."
When Ye Jintang met Lühe's gaze, she smiled and directly pointed out the doubt in Lühe's mind, asking, "Lühe, do you feel that I'm a little different than before?"
Green Lotus was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Ye Jintang to ask so bluntly. She was about to nod when she shook her head.
Seeing this, Ye Jintang became even more certain of her guess and smiled, "Lvhe, you've been by my side for many years, so just say what you want to say."
"Miss, you are somewhat different from before."
Is it because I used to be non-competitive and unassuming, but now my behavior is completely different?
After a moment's thought, Green Lotus finally nodded.
"Do you think it's worth it?" Ye Jintang continued. In order to ensure that Jiang Mubai had no worries, the original owner of the body restrained her temper and tolerated the injustice from those around her and the bullying from her mother-in-law. But what did she get in return?
Those who bully you won't resent you for backing down; they'll only think you're weak and easy to bully, and they'll act even more recklessly.
That is why, in the end, even if the original owner wanted to resist, he lost the opportunity.
She is not the original owner of this body, and she cannot be manipulated by others.
Anyone who dares to be disrespectful in front of her should think about where their grave will be.
As Green Lotus listened to Ye Jintang's words, her eyes hardened.
Yes, it would be strange if Miss hadn't changed after going through all this.
And she...
Green Lotus lowered her head. "Miss, this servant understands."
"You're someone I know well. From now on, you don't have to suffer in silence if anything happens."
Even if she can't solve something, there's always that other person there; her treatment isn't free.
The Regent's Palace.
"Master, we escorted Miss Ye back to the capital, but she didn't return to the Marquis's residence. Instead, she stayed at an inn in the eastern part of the capital, and..."
Leng Yi came to Ye Ling and told her everything that had happened.
"You said Ye Jintang discovered your existence."
He nodded coldly, feeling only ashamed of himself in this regard.
"Master, that Miss Ye clearly doesn't know martial arts, yet she knows our whereabouts perfectly."
“She even knows about my Soul-Devouring Powder, so it’s no surprise that she knows your whereabouts.”
"Soul Devouring Powder...?"
Ye Ling's eyes widened, even more shocked by Ye Jintang's abilities.
You must know that if he hadn't served as a bodyguard by his master's side since childhood, he wouldn't have known anything about the Soul-Devouring Powder.
Leng Yi seemed to have thought of something, her expression showing a hint of doubt.
"My lord, the Imperial Advisor once said that you would meet someone who would bring you a turning point on this journey."
"Could that person be referring to Miss Ye?"
Ye Ling nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement with Leng Yi's words.
At first, he was puzzled by Ye He's desertion, and then he asked the Imperial Advisor if he could divine the other party's location.
Unexpectedly, this very reason led him to decide to make this trip.
He never expected that the person would be Ye Jintang, and the skills she displayed far exceeded his expectations.
If the Imperial Preceptor hadn't already entered seclusion, there were some things he really wanted to ask clearly...
