Chapter 1101: The Tenderness of Prince Xiao (Thirteen)
After a joint investigation by the Jinling Guards and the imperial envoy, Ren Feng's crimes of illegally mining silver, stealing and selling grain, forming cliques for personal gain, and harming his colleagues were confirmed. In mid-September, the Ren family was raided, and Ren Feng and his family were escorted to Beijing to await their fate.
After knowing this, Leng Feng took Ye Yueying to the Ye family cemetery, and the two stood in front of the cemetery for a whole night.
"The Ye family's revenge has been achieved. Yingying, from now on you just need to live well for yourself."
Leng Feng looked at Ye Yueying with pity. This child had lived a very depressed life over the years.
Ye Yueying also looked at Leng Feng, smiled lightly and nodded: "Uncle Leng, you too, we must all live well in the future."
When the two returned to the post station, Leng Feng asked the servants of the Wang family to pack their luggage and prepare to return to Youzhou tomorrow.
When Ye Yueying heard that she had to go back, her eyes flashed. The Ren family had fallen and her great revenge had been achieved, so it was indeed time to go back.
The next morning, Ye Yueying sat by the window with her chin in her hand, quietly watching the servants of the Wang family packing up the gifts and the carriage in the yard outside.
After Xuehua put the package on the carriage, she returned to her room and saw Ye Yueying still in a daze. She couldn't help but ask, "Miss, don't you want to leave?"
Ye Yueying came back to her senses. Was she so obvious?
Xuehua felt very sorry for Ye Yueying, who had lost both her parents and was fostered in the Wang family. She comforted her, "Don't be sad, young lady. Next time, we can ask the old lady for permission to let us return to Liaodong to pay our respects to the master and his wife."
Ye Yueying smiled bitterly. The reason her grandmother agreed to let her go back to Liaodong to pay homage to the Ye family was because she was old and they wanted to arrange a marriage for her.
My grandmother knew that once she was engaged, whether she could return to Liaodong was no longer a question of whether she wanted to or not.
Just then, Leng Feng came over and called out, "Yingying, everything is packed, you can leave now."
Ye Yueying was silent for a moment and looked at the long sword wrapped in cloth on the table.
This sword was her father's relic, which was left in a cave. Xiao Moxi found it for her.
Are you leaving now?
I didn't even have the time to say goodbye to him.
I'm afraid there will be no possibility for them to meet each other again in the future?
Ye Yueying suppressed the inexplicable emotions in her heart, picked up the sword, and followed Xuehua out of the room.
Leng Feng saw Ye Yueying get on the carriage, so he jumped on the horse and left the post station with the servants of the Wang family.
When the carriage drove out of the post station, Ye Yueying couldn't help but reached out to lift the curtain and look outside.
The post station was bustling with people, but unfortunately, there was no one she wanted to see.
Ye Yueying lowered the car curtain and sneered. What was she thinking? It was just a chance encounter, why was she looking forward to it?
That person's status is not something that an orphan like her can reach.
"Hurry~"
"Hurry~"
After Ye Yueying and her group had walked more than ten miles, they suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses from behind.
Leng Feng looked back and found that it was Xiao Moxi, so he quickly stopped the convoy.
"Senior Leng!"
In the carriage, Ye Yueying heard Xiao Moxi's voice and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She reached out to lift the curtain, but stopped when she reached it.
Outside, Xiao Moxi had arrived in front of the convoy, dismounted and walked towards Leng Feng: "Senior Leng, why did you leave so suddenly?" As he said this, he looked at the carriage with its closed doors.
Leng Feng was surprised by Xiao Moxi's appearance, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "October is almost here, and we want to go back before it snows." Then he looked at Xiao Moxi in confusion, "Master Xiao, is there anything I can do for you?"
Xiao Moxi smiled and said, "Nothing much. I just wanted to tell Brother Ye that we found the list she hid in Haqi City."
"Speaking of this, I have to thank Brother Ye. If it weren't for this list, we would have almost missed some officials who were involved in silver mining and were hiding deep inside."
He said as he looked towards the carriage.
In the carriage, Ye Yueying hesitated again and again, and finally prepared to get off and say goodbye to Xiao Moxi.
In any case, it was because they met this man that they successfully took revenge, and it was also because of this man that she and Uncle Leng were alive until now.
The car door opened. Xiao Moxi heard the sound and quickly turned around to look. She was stunned when she saw it.
Ye Yueying, dressed in a light blue long dress, is as delicate as an orchid, pure and elegant, with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she is deeply worried, and her whole body exudes the secluded beauty of an orchid in a valley.
Xiao Moxi's heart suddenly started pounding, and when Ye Yueying walked towards him, he actually lowered his eyes away.
"Master Xiao!"
Ye Yueying walked up to Xiao Moxi and bowed.
Xiao Moxi quickly returned the greeting: "Brother Ye, Miss Ye."
Leng Feng looked at the two of them, thought for a moment, then turned and walked aside, leaving space for the two to talk alone.
As soon as he left, Xiao Moxi and Ye Yueying both felt a little embarrassed.
Ye Yueying spoke first: "Before, I disguised myself as a man to make things easier."
Xiao Moxi nodded quickly: "I understand."
Ye Yueying was silent for a moment: "Master Xiao"
Xiao Moxi interrupted directly: "Aren't we friends? Don't call me Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao. It sounds strange. You can call me Moxi, or call me Brother Xiao."
Ye Yueying looked at him and didn't respond.
Xiao Moxi smiled awkwardly, then took the initiative to talk and told Ye Yueying about the Ren Feng case in detail.
"Your father was murdered because he was investigating Ren Feng's illegal silver mining. I have reported this to the Crown Prince, and he will clear your father's name."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yueying bowed gratefully towards Xiao Moxi again: "Thank you very much."
Seeing her like this, Xiao Moxi suddenly jokingly said, "Then how are you going to thank me?"
Ye Yueying was stunned, pondered for a moment, and looked up at Xiao Moxi.
This serious look made Xiao Moxi feel a little nervous and expectant.
When he was a child, he often heard his mother tell stories about heroes saving beauties, and then the beauties gave themselves to him. Is he going to encounter the real version of this now?
However, if Miss Ye really wants to marry him, will he agree or refuse?
It seemed rude to reject a girl, so he should say yes?
However, this is a lifelong commitment. If I agree to it rashly, it seems irresponsible to myself and Miss Ye.
Oh, Miss Ye really knows how to give him difficult problems!
Just when Xiao Moxi was feeling conflicted, Ye Yueying mustered up the courage to speak: "If Big Brother Xiao doesn't mind, I'm willing to become your sworn brother and sister. In the future, if Big Brother Xiao has any orders, I will do my best to obey."
Hearing this, Xiao Moxi's face suddenly fell, and he blurted out: "Others all pledge their bodies to me, why do you have to pledge your love to me?"
Is he someone who needs a sister?
Ye Yueying looked at Xiao Moxi in surprise, and her ears turned red.
Xiao Moxi also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt. However, I want to make it clear that I really don't need a sister."
Ye Yueying was extremely embarrassed by Xiao Moxi's rejection: "It's Yueying who doesn't know what's good for her. Sir Xiao, just pretend I never said that."
Xiao Moxi: “.”
Call him Lord Xiao again.
Although he has no shortage of sisters, she can also call him Brother Xiao.
