Ye Moqing stood up, turned his back, and said coldly: "Ye Xiangrong, you know what kind of life I have led in the Ye family over the years!"
"I solemnly announce today that I, Ye Moqing, have no further connection with the Ye family!"
After saying that, Ye Moqing turned away and walked straight into the Ye family.
"Master Ye!" A yamen runner saw Ye Moqing and immediately asked how he was.
"I've seen you before... What's your name?" Ye Moqing recognized the yamen runner. It was he who gave him some money to help him when Tian Gaoyuan kicked him out.
"My humble servant is Hao Xin," the bailiff replied.
"Do you still remember that I was kicked out by Tian Gaoyuan? Why didn't you come to find me?" Ye Moqing asked.
"This... I am of low status and dare not contact you, adults." Hao Xin continued to respond.
What Hao Xin said was only one of the reasons. There was another reason, which was that Hao Xin's mother and wife worked as helpers in the Ye family's business.
If he had too much contact with Ye Moqing, his family would inevitably be implicated.
Ye Moqing took out a lot of silver and handed it to Hao Xin: "A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring."
Hao Xin knelt down. He never thought that a good deed he did would bring him such a generous reward.
"I dare not accept such a large amount of silver." Hao Xin knelt down. He was a man who always did his duty. Having so much money all of a sudden made him feel uneasy.
"...Since you don't want to take the money, then you can live in the Ye family mansion." After Ye Moqing said this, he asked someone to hand over the keys of the Ye family to Hao Xin.
When Hao Xin saw the Ye family mansion, he felt hesitant.
The whole family lives in a simple house that leaks when it rains.
Now there is a new place to shelter from the wind and rain...it's really tempting.
"Accept it, this is what you deserve. If you don't accept it, I will be unhappy." Ye Moqing patted Hao Xin's shoulder, and then continued to stroll around this place full of memories.
"Thank you, sir!" Hao Xin looked at Ye Moqing's back and saluted solemnly.
Ye Haokong and Ye Qishou of the Ye family are dead, and the head of the Ye family, Ye Xiangrong, has been arrested.
As for his younger brother Ye Maocai and Ye Haokong's wife and children, they are nowhere to be found.
The Ye family's property eventually fell into the hands of Ye Moqing, the only bloodline of the Ye family at this moment, but he did not want to have anything to do with the Ye family anymore.
He went to his mother's room and recalled the past.
"Mother...your child...finally did not disappoint your expectations." Ye Moqing couldn't help but shed tears.
After a while, Xiao Jiu came over and saw Ye Moqing crying, so he took out a tissue and handed it to Ye Moqing: "Brother Moqing, what's wrong?"
"It's okay... I was just thinking about the past." Ye Moqing took the tissue and wiped his red eyes.
"By the way, Brother Tongxi said that there is a girl named Peng looking for you. She is waiting for you at our house." Xiaojiu conveyed the message.
The girl with the surname Peng...could it be Peng Hanshuang?
When she was young, she disguised herself as a man and studied in the same academy with him, and the two became friends.
Hearing that an old friend came to see him, Ye Moqing's mood improved a lot. After tidying up his appearance, he hurried back to the Lin Mansion.
"Ye Moqing! Do you still remember me?" Seeing Ye Moqing, Peng Hanshuang couldn't help but recall the times when they played together as a teenager.
Everyone else treated her with respect because of her status as a member of the Peng family, which made her have few friends.
Only Ye Moqing, who was studying seriously, did not compliment him like the others did, so Peng Hanshuang took the initiative to talk to him.
"Han Shuang...how could I forget you? You were my only friend when I was a child..." Ye Moqing said with a faint smile.
"You've changed a lot. You're not the same as when you were a child, but I can still recognize you." Peng Hanshuang looked at Ye Moqing and compared him with his childhood memories.
"You were the same. When you were little, you were as lively and active as a boy. I never realized you were a girl..." Ye Moqing also flipped through his childhood memories and continued, "If you hadn't taken the initiative to tell me you were a girl before leaving Guangyang County, I might have thought Peng Hanshuang was a boy all my life."
"Well... blame my good disguise skills?" Peng Hanshuang continued to smile, then explained the purpose of his trip: "Well, now that I see you, my wish has been fulfilled."
"I heard you're now the chief clerk! That's impressive! Do you know my cousin Lu Wenyu? He's the county lieutenant here now."
"When I was young, my family had some problems, so I had to live with my cousin, and that's when I came to Guangyang County."
"After my family's situation improved, I left the academy and returned to Xiangjiang City."
"I went back to Guangyang County once. I wanted to look for you, but the Ye family said you were dead. I was heartbroken for a long time..."
Hearing this, Ye Moqing once again recalled the scene after being expelled from the Ye family.
Maybe Peng Hanshuang didn't recognize him at that time, and at most thought he was a beggar like Ye Moqing.
If I had taken the initiative to tell her his name at that time, maybe she wouldn't be sad?
But he had no foundation at that time, so taking the initiative to recognize her would only cause trouble for her, right?
"The next time was this time. Dad asked me to bring gifts to visit my cousin's family. I heard your name from him again."
"It's really great that you're still alive..."
Peng Hanshuang and Ye Moqing chatted for a long time, telling each other about the past after they left each other, until it was lunch time.
"Miss Peng, Master Ye, it's time to eat." Old Wu came over and reminded the two.
When the two arrived at the dinner table, they found Peng Wenle sitting with Lin Tongxi, Chen Yunxuan, Yan Chenghong and others.
"Oh, my little sister and Ye Zhubu are here. Come on, come on, take a seat!" Peng Wenle waved his hand to urge the two of them.
"Hey! Here I come." Peng Hanshuang pulled Ye Moqing's sleeve like he did when they were little and sat on the two empty seats.
Everyone gathered together and had dinner.
At this time, all the important figures who influenced Guangyang County gathered here.
With their collaborative efforts, Guangyang County, which had been devastated by County Magistrate Lu, finally saw the light of day.
