Chapter 736, Misfortune
When I returned to Yan's house, it was already the end of the night.
In order not to alarm the people in the mansion, Xiao Yeyang took Daohua over the wall and entered the mansion.
After entering the mansion, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "I'm home now. You should go back soon too."
Xiao Yeyang: "No hurry, I'll take you back to the yard first, and then go see Wen Kai and Wen Tao."
Daohua: "Then you can go directly to find my third and fourth brothers. I will go back to the yard by myself."
Xiao Yeyang didn't move: "It's dark, and there are no street lights. I'd better take you back to avoid falling or bumping into anything." Then he took Daohua's hand and said, "Lead the way."
Daohua had no choice but to walk towards her own yard in the dark.
During this time, when passing by the garden, Daohua kicked a flowerpot because the light was too dim. Fortunately, Xiao Yeyang was quick to grab her, so she did not have close contact with the ground.
"Luckily I followed him, otherwise I might have fallen again."
Soon, Daohua brought Xiao Yeyang to the gate of her yard.
"Crack~"
The gate was gently pushed open.
Daohua saw that Bishi had left the door open for her, and she was delighted. She turned to look at Xiao Yeyang and said, "Okay, I'm in the yard now. You can go back now."
Xiao Yeyang looked at the courtyard where Daohua lived. This was his first time here. Unfortunately, it was dark and he couldn't see anything. Thinking that he had never been to Daohua's boudoir before, and now that he was at the door, he didn't want to go back, so he said, "I'm thirsty. I want to drink some tea!"
Daohua: "Aren't you going to my third and fourth brothers' place? Go drink with them."
Xiao Yeyang refused to agree: "You are too unreasonable. Who did I work so hard for all night? You didn't even give me a cup of tea."
Seeing that Xiao Yeyang's voice was a little loud, Daohua quickly covered his mouth: "Xiao Yeyang, keep your voice down, don't disturb the maids in the courtyard."
Xiao Yeyang pulled Daohua's hand away: "Then let me in and sit for a while. I'll have a cup of tea and then leave."
Daohua glared: "No, I have a maid guarding the room at night. If she sees you, I don't know how big a commotion it will cause."
Seeing Daohua's reluctance, Xiao Yeyang was a little disappointed: "Okay then, I'll go to Wentao and the others."
"Um!"
Daohua nodded and waved to signal him to go quickly.
Xiao Yeyang glared at Daohua reluctantly, then turned and left.
After he left, Daohua carefully entered the yard. As soon as she entered the house in the dark, she heard Bishi's voice: "Girl, you're back."
The lights in the house were then turned on.
Seeing that Bishi and Hongying were there, Daohua was glad that she didn't let Xiao Yeyang in.
Hongying looked at Daohua anxiously: "Miss Yan, my daughter."
Daohua sat down, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Your daughter has left the city." After a moment's silence, he looked at Hongying and said, "Hongying, what's going on today? Yuanyao has always disliked the people from the Dong family's eldest branch, so why did she follow the second young master Dong out to meet the third young master Luo?"
Hongying hesitated. This matter concerned the Dong family's safety, so she didn't want to speak out. However, thinking about how Miss Yan risked her life to save her daughter today, she thought for a moment and finally spoke out, "It's because the Second Young Master said that the Third Young Master Luo has the correspondence between the Old Master and the Eighth Prince's followers."
Daohua was shocked: "Is this true or false?"
Hongying shook her head. "I don't know, but my daughter has been very uneasy since she found out. She said that if Mr. Luo San handed over the letter and proved that the Dong family was part of the Eighth Princes' faction, then the Dong family would face beheading and exile."
"Later, the Second Young Master said that as long as the girl agreed to meet the Third Young Master Luo, he would be willing to return the letter to the Dong family."
Daohua frowned tightly, having thought it was just a romantic matter, but she never expected it to be involved in the case of the Eight Kings' gang.
Bishi looked at the rice flowers and brought some hot water. "Girl, wash up first. You've been running around for most of the day. Rest first and we'll think of a solution tomorrow."
Daohua nodded. There was not much she could do about the things outside, and now it was involved in the case of the Eight Kings' gang. Even if she wanted to help, she didn't have the ability to do anything.
On the other side, Yan Wentao's yard.
When Xiao Yeyang came over, he saw Dong Yuanxuan was there too. He raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was not surprised.
Seeing Dong Yuanxuan looking at him anxiously, Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Dong has been sent out of the city."
Hearing this, Dong Yuanxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you, Sir Xiao."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "There's no need for us to be so polite. Whether it's our friendship or the relationship between Yi Yi and Miss Dong, I won't sit idly by. However, you should also be mentally prepared. After Luo Hongyuan dies, the Weiguo Mansion will not let the Dong family go."
Dong Yuanxuan frowned and said, "Luo Hongyuan was not killed by Yuan Yao."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's expression changed. He looked at Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai and asked, "What's going on?"
Dong Yuanxuan: "I owe a debt of gratitude to the doctor who treated Luo Hongyuan. I went to see him before, and he told me that the knife Yuan Yao stabbed was not Luo Hongyuan's fatal injury. What really killed Luo Hongyuan was the heavy blow to his head."
Yan Wenkai frowned. "Luo Hongyuan was sent back to the Duke of Wei's mansion, and a doctor was even called in. This means he wasn't dead at the time. According to what Yuan Xuan just said, Luo Hongyuan died later. Doesn't that mean the murderer must be someone from the Duke of Wei's mansion?"
As he said this, he looked at Xiao Yeyang and the other two uncertainly.
"Is that possible?"
Xiao Yeyang thought of the secrets he had uncovered about the Duke of Wei's mansion and said, "It's not impossible. Luo Hongyuan isn't actually the Duke of Wei's son. He's Old Master Wei's son and a brother of the Duke of Wei."
Upon hearing this, Yan Wentao, Yan Wenkai and Dong Yuanxuan were all stunned.
Yan Wenkai was a little speechless: "Then who is Luo Hongyuan's mother? Could she be the current wife of the Duke of Wei?"
Seeing Xiao Yeyang remained silent, Yan Wenkai felt somewhat helpless. "No way, isn't this... isn't this the father-in-law usurping his daughter-in-law? And they even gave birth to a son. How can the Duke of Wei tolerate this?"
At this point, Dong Yuanxuan seemed to understand something: "No wonder Old Master Wei, when he was still in his prime, passed the title of Duke to the current Duke of Wei. This is probably because Duke Wei knew about Luo Hongyuan's life experience, and Old Master Wei compensated him."
Yan Wenkai: "So, the one who killed Luo Hongyuan might be the Duke of Wei?"
Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wentao didn't say anything. There were still many questions about this matter. Duke Weiguo had endured it for so many years, why did he want to kill Luo Hongyuan at this time?
Dong Yuanxuan frowned: "No matter what the truth is, everyone now thinks that Yuan Yao killed Luo Hongyuan."
Xiao Yeyang looked over and asked: "Why did Miss Dong go to see Luo Hongyuan today?"
Dong Yuanxuan was silent for a moment: "Because Luo Hongyuan has the correspondence between my uncle and the Eighth Prince's staff."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's expression changed: "Is this true?"
Dong Yuanxuan nodded with some difficulty: "Really, after Luo Hongyuan got into trouble today, my second brother ran back home in a panic. After my father and I repeatedly questioned him, he finally told the truth."
"Once this happened, my uncle knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he revealed his previous correspondence with the Eighth Prince's staff."
"After learning that Luo Hongyuan was holding the letter, my uncle and his family planned today's move to trick Yuan Yao out."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang and the other two looked at Dong Yuanxuan with some sympathy.
The eldest branch of the Dong family has caused great harm to Dong Yuanxuan's family!
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment, then looked at Dong Yuanxuan: "If the Luo family really has evidence of the Dong family secretly communicating with the Eight Kings' followers, this matter will be difficult to handle."
