Chapter 198 Cao Liang Tests Ye Chutang
After Qi Qingyu married into Liangzhou, she did a lot of good deeds, and almost everyone knew her and was familiar with her.
If the disguise artist’s skills are not good enough, he cannot find a substitute for Qi Qingyu.
Because the substitute is likely to be recognized by the people.
Therefore, Qi Qingyu himself must come forward and identify that the escaped substitute is a member of the Qi family!
Ye Chutang looked at Qi Qingyu who looked determined and said, "Aunt, for the sake of the child, you have to agree to the Chen family."
Qi Qingyu widened his eyes in disbelief and shook his head repeatedly.
"No, I will never sell out my family and live in shame!"
"Don't worry, aunt. The prefectural government can't plot against the Qi family. Just protect yourself and your child."
Ye Chutang placed his hand on Qi Qingyu's thin shoulder and looked at her seriously.
"The fact that I can come to see you means that things are under control. You just need to take advantage of the situation and agree to it first."
These words convinced Qi Qingyu.
She returned the black jadeite plaque representing her brother to Ye Chutang.
"Okay, I will play this scene well, compromise with the Chen family, and choose the child."
After hearing this, Ye Chutang's tone became serious.
"Aunt, there is something I need to make clear to you. If the Qi family escapes the calculation, the Chen family will bear the consequences of failure, and you will also be implicated."
"As long as my family is safe, it doesn't matter what happens to me and my children."
Qi Qingyu doesn't not love children, she just doesn't know how to teach them the wrong way to survive.
You can die standing, but you can never live on your knees!
Ye Chutang asked, "Where is the child being held?"
"I don't know, but if I am willing to identify my family, I can ask the Chen family to send the child to me."
"This way, things will be much easier."
Qi Qingyu didn't understand, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"
Ye Chutang did not answer but asked: "Aunt, do you want to suffer with the Chen family, or escape from the Chen family?"
"If I flee, will my child and I have to live in hiding for the rest of our lives?"
"Yes, the Chen family will definitely not divorce or abort your wife. You can either be tied to the Chen family for the rest of your life, or escape from the Chen family and change your name."
As the daughter of a general, Qi Qingyu couldn't afford to throw away her name just to save her life.
"Sister-in-law, as long as the entire Chen family is not executed, I will not run away."
The Chen family plotted against Qi Yanzhou because it was the emperor's intention.
Even if the plan fails and he is punished, the worst that can happen is that his property is confiscated and he is exiled.
She is not afraid of hardship!
Seeing that Qi Qingyu had made up her mind, Ye Chutang did not try to persuade her.
Before leaving, she asked, "Do you want me to help you kill your brother-in-law?"
Qi Qingyu waved his hands quickly, his tone urgent.
"No need, Shaoping is kind-hearted and treats me and the children very well."
As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears.
"In order to save me, his father-in-law broke his leg. I don't know how he is doing now."
Ye Chutang didn't have time to save Chen Shaoping, so he didn't respond.
She took out the silver needle and said to Qi Qingyu, "You will wake up after one stick of incense."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stabbed Qi Qingyu unconscious.
Then he gave the four maids an injection and helped them to remove the drug.
When Ye Chutang returned to the noodle shop, Nan Xiao was extremely anxious.
Seeing Ye Chutang coming back, he immediately went to greet him.
"Ma'am, you are finally back."
Ye Chutang looked at Nan Xiao who was hesitant to speak, and knew what he had not asked.
"I went to the Chen family and met my aunt Qi Qingyu."
She told Qi Qingyu about how the Chen family forced her to identify a substitute.
"Nan Xiao, don't do anything now. Wait for the prefecture to execute the 'substitute plan' and capture the Qi family's substitute alive!"
Nan Xiao knelt on one knee in front of Ye Chutang.
"As you command."
"Get up and get some noodles. I'm starving."
Nan Xiao: “…”
"Yes, ma'am."
Although Ye Chutang had only been out for a short time, when she went to the kitchen, the prefectural government was already preparing to serve dinner.
Nan Xiao thought that the weather was hot, so he asked the chef to make a bowl of cold noodles.
The taste is ok, and the seasoning is sufficient.
After eating, Ye Chutang gave two suggestions and changed the seasoning recipe.
"Make a bowl of noodles as I told you and give it a try."
After saying that, she wiped her oily lips, stood up and left.
Ye Chutang found a deserted place and went back to the back room underground.
There was no one in the room and no one had been there.
It was obvious that Cao Liang kept everyone busy in order to deal with the Qi family.
She rubbed her eyes until they turned red, covered her forehead with her hands, and walked out of the room, heading towards Qingyayuan where the Qi family lived.
When she entered the backyard, she was stopped by someone.
"Yin Fei, you're awake, are you feeling better?"
Ye Chutang recognized from the voice that it was the man who had carried her to the back seat to rest.
"I'm fine, but my stuff was left at Qingya Courtyard, I have to go look for it."
She had to go back as soon as possible and change her identity back.
The man said quickly, "You can't go now. The prefect has gone to see Mr. Qi to talk about the past."
Ye Chutang quickly pushed the man away.
"I'll go and take a look."
After saying that, she ran as fast as the wind, and when there was no one around, she teleported away.
He entered Qingya Courtyard before Cao Liang.
The Qi family had just finished lunch and were preparing to go back to their room to rest.
Qi Yanzhou didn't let Ye Chutang eat with him on the grounds that she was resting, and only left some food for her.
When he saw "Yin Fei" enter the yard, his heart settled down.
"What are you doing here again?"
"I left something very important in the side room!"
After Yin Fei finished speaking, he rushed into the side room without waiting for Qi Yanzhou’s reaction.
Qi Yanzhou hurriedly followed in, "Stop, my wife is resting inside!"
Ye Chutang's sleepy voice came from the side room.
"Look for it quickly, and leave as soon as you're done!"
When Cao Liang came to Qingyayuan.
Ye Chutang had removed her makeup and turned back into herself.
Qi Yanzhou also helped Yin Fei put on his clothes.
But in order to avoid revealing any flaws, he had to hypnotize Yin Fei and make him remember his injury and that he came back to look for something.
"Atang, you take care of the aftermath, and I'll act."
After saying that, he immediately got into the state.
"You haven't found it yet? Are you doing this on purpose?"
He picked up the cup and smashed it against the copper pipe in the corner.
A piercing buzzing sound reached the eavesdropper's ears, drowning out all other sounds.
Ye Chutang took this opportunity to hypnotize Yin Fei.
It was just a matter of two sentences and was done quickly.
She placed the sachet that Yin Fei kept close to his body in his hand.
"We found what you were looking for, leave now."
After saying that, she snapped her fingers.
Yin Fei's dull eyes regained clarity and he happily left with the sachet.
As soon as he reached the door of the side room, he almost bumped into Cao Zhizhou who was coming towards him.
"Please forgive me, my lord. I deserve to die!"
As he spoke, he knelt on one knee in front of Cao Liang, his face turning pale with fear.
Cao Liang looked into the side room.
Qi Yanzhou moved sideways to block his view.
"My Lord, what advice do you have?"
"I heard that Madam Qi is ill and hasn't even eaten. Would you like me to ask a doctor to come and see her?"
Ye Chutang came to Qi Yanzhou's side.
"Thank you, Lord Cao, for your concern. I took the medicine and had a good sleep. I feel much better now."
On the surface, Cao Liang came to visit Mr. Qi to reminisce about the past, but in fact he came to test Ye Chutang.
"I heard that Madam Qi is very talented in writing. I recently wrote a few sour poems and would like to invite Madam to the study to appreciate them."
Ye Chutang was overjoyed and agreed immediately.
"Master Cao, you are too kind. I am a straightforward person, so please don't be offended if my comments are not nice."
She happened to go to the study to collect evidence of Cao Liang's crime!
"It would be an honor for me to receive advice from Madam Qi."
Cao Liang said with a smile and looked at Mr. Qi.
"Brother Qi, let's talk about the past later."
Ye Chutang followed Cao Liang and left.
In the end, he did not take her to the study, but to the court.
Han Chong was there too.
Cao Liang sat behind the desk, looking at Ye Chutang as if he were interrogating a criminal.
"Miss Ye, are you from the Qi family now, or are you from the emperor's family?"
Ye Chutang sat on the ground and asked casually.
"Now, my life is still in the hands of the emperor. Who do you think I belong to, Lord Cao?"
"Are you dissatisfied with the Emperor?"
"I don't dare."
Cao Liang snorted coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
"I think you are very brave! Helping the Qi family is to go against the emperor!"
Ye Chutang crossed his legs and practiced his internal strength.
"Master Cao, what do you think I should do? Ignore my reputation and future and poison all the members of the Qi family?"
Her voice was very soft, as if she was falling asleep.
Cao Liang felt ignored and was furious.
"Ye Chutang, I'm talking to you about serious matters!"
"Let's talk. I'm listening."
"The emperor has issued a secret decree to keep the Qi family's lives in Liangzhou City!"
"Then I wish Master Cao all his wishes come true."
Cao Liang: “…”
This was the first time he met someone who could easily provoke his anger with any words!
“Ye Chutang, if you let the Qi family leave Liangzhou, I will die, Lord Han will die, and you won’t survive either!”
Ye Chutang could tell that Cao Liang was about to explode with anger, so he lazily raised his eyelids and looked at him.
"Master Cao, just tell me, what do you need me to do?"
"I don't care what method you use, poison the Qi family within a quarter of an hour!"
"Poison him directly? Or control him first?"
Cao Liang was a little uncomfortable with her sudden talkativeness.
After thinking for a while, he said, "It would be best to let the Qi family be poisoned quietly. When they realize there is danger and want to resist, they will be powerless."
"I understand."
Ye Chutang finished speaking and stood up.
"Make sure to complete the mission!"
Cao Liang looked at Ye Chutang's leaving back and asked Han Chong.
"Master Han, do you think Ye Chutang's words are credible?"
Han Chong shook his head. "I don't know. I've never seen through her."
After that, he asked tentatively: "When will Lord Cao's plan be implemented?"
"In a quarter of an hour."
"What if Ye Chutang doesn't care about his life and doesn't attack the Qi family?"
"I made this request to Ye Chutang only to test her on behalf of the Emperor. Whether she does it or not, it will not affect the plan."
Although Han Chong didn't know what Cao Liang's plan was, he could tell from his words that it was foolproof.
He couldn't help but feel a little worried. Could the Qi family really escape this disaster?
