Just when Military Attaché Ye was feeling worried, Zhou Guangchang, Yin of the Jingzhao Prefecture who came with him, was insulted by him for no reason at first, and he was somewhat willing to ignore it. However, after hearing a secret report from a government servant next to him, he changed his mind and put away his full heart. Displeased, he walked to Military Attaché Ye with a sincere expression and whispered to him: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I will investigate the case of arson in Ye Mansion strictly and give Mr. Ye an explanation... Mr. Ye, please don't interact with these ignorant people for the time being. I’m just careless, it’s more important to go back and save your daughter first..."
Upon hearing this, Military Attaché Ye's expression changed drastically, and he asked eagerly: "Has Yan'er's injury worsened? Didn't Doctor Tao say it was just a skin injury, and it will be fine after a period of recovery?"
Zhou Fuyin cupped his hands and said, "Master Ye, please don't worry. Your love's burn condition is not serious, but she was agitated and acted abnormally... The Yamen servant said that your love is going to jump into the river... Master Ye, you'd better talk to me first." It's more important to rush back together to save your daughter... I'll leave it to Capt. Liu here..."
After hearing this, Military Attaché Ye was a little dazed for a moment, and after a while he said calmly: "Forget it, I'll go see Yan'er first..." After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Su Qiqi and others, then turned around and ran out of the guest room with a complicated expression. go. Zhou Fuyin, who came with him, also hurried away with his servants.
Su Qiqi and others were stunned on the spot for a moment. Qin Chuan was the first to come to his senses, walked towards the door, looked outside for a moment, then returned to Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu, and asked in a low voice: "Su'er, do we want to follow?"
Su Qiqi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Let's go!" After that, she pulled Yan Ruoyu, who was still in a daze, and the three of them hurriedly ran in the direction where Military Attaché Ye and others left.
The three of them followed Attaché Ye and others to a small river near Ye Mansion. At this time, there were already many people watching the excitement around the river bank. Someone with sharp eyes saw the arrival of Attaché Ye and others and shouted excitedly: "Master Ye is here! Master Zhou is here!"
Other people heard the sound and looked over. The crowd of onlookers suddenly became commotion, and the scene was chaotic.
Military Attaché Ye and Zhou Fuyin both frowned and ordered the government officials to drive away the people who were watching.
When the crowd gradually dispersed, Su Qiqi and others finally saw Ye Yanru, who was looking for life and death. At this moment, her thin figure was hanging on the bank of the river, being hugged tightly by her personal maid.
She no longer looked as beautiful as when we first met her, but looked as haggard as a ghost. His face was pale, his hair was messy, his eyes were unfocused, and he was muttering: "I'm disfigured! Brother Qi doesn't want me anymore! I'll just die..."
Seeing his beloved daughter's miserable appearance, Military Attaché Ye hurriedly stepped forward to hold her arms, caressed her hair, and said with concern: "Yan'er! Yan'er! I'm daddy! Stop messing around... …”
Before he finished speaking, Ye Yanru, who was originally making a hysterical noise, finally calmed down and looked at Military Attaché Ye for a while, then looked around, suddenly smiled miserably, and hummed: "Dad! Haha... Where is Brother Qi? Why didn't he? Come? Doesn’t he want Yan’er anymore?” After saying that, he started to cry and laugh again.
Military Attaché Ye sighed helplessly, pulled out the sword bitterly and slowly took it back, and then said angrily: "Sir Zhou...take down those bastards for me...Ye must not forget this kindness from you. …”
After hearing this, Zhou Fuyin pondered for a while, nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ye... Zhou will certainly help you, and please Mr. Ye, please don't forget what you promised me..."
After hearing what he said, Military Attaché Ye cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhou, thank you very much! I will also give you a try on what you said and give me some advice..."
After that, the two exchanged glances and began to go their separate ways. Military Attaché Ye walked up to his daughter, coaxed her softly, got her into the carriage, and sped away.
Zhou Fuyin led the government officials to surround Su Qiqi and others again. But this time his tone was much gentler. I saw him cupping his fists slightly towards Su Qiqi and others, and said politely: "Heroes, I'm offended! I can't help myself, so please come with me..."
Su Qiqi looked at his unfathomable expression and fell into deep thought. Qin Chuan and Yan Ruoyu's expressions became a little more worried, and they looked at Su Qiqi together, as if seeking her opinion.
The few people faced each other for a while, and Su Qiqi finally said slowly: "You are not afraid of the shadows. We will follow you back home. Mr. Zhou, please lead the way..."
After hearing this, Zhou Fuyin breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head, and stepped forward first. The yamen servant on the side was stunned for a moment and then moved forward.
Su Qiqi and others followed leisurely behind Zhou Fuyin, got on the carriage he had prepared, and a group of people marched towards Jingzhao Fuyin Yamen.
The backyard of Ye Mansion. Ye Yanru seemed tired at the moment, sitting quietly by the bed in a daze. The maid stood aside bewilderedly holding a bowl of bird's nest soup.
After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and Military Attaché Ye walked in with a haggard look on his face. He walked up to Ye Yanru and called softly: "Yan'er, drink some bird's nest soup and rest early...Daddy." I just asked Dr. Tao and he said that the injury on your face is not a problem and will heal in a few days..."
When Ye Yanru heard her father's voice, she raised her head and glanced, then turned to look out the window and said angrily: "Humph, Yan'er ignored daddy... It's all your fault for driving Brother Qi away..."
Military Attaché Ye shook his head helplessly and said flatteringly: "Dad is wrong. Daddy agrees to your marriage to Ouyang Qi... However, he must rely on his own ability to be ranked among the top three in this department..."
When Ye Yanru heard this, she looked happy and said a little worriedly: "What if Brother Qi doesn't win the top three... Will dad break up the marriage between him and his daughter?"
Military Attaché Ye sighed and said gloomily: "Then it all depends on his fortune and ability... If he doesn't make progress, how can dad safely betroth you to a poor boy? You have been raised by a noble family since you were a child, how can you do that?" Live a life of eating chaff and being a vegetarian... If you insist on being with him, then don't recognize me as your father anymore..."
After the harsh words, Military Attaché Ye was about to walk out of the room. After taking a few steps, he looked back at the maid standing next to Ye Yanru. He walked to her side and ordered in a low voice: "Keep an eye on Miss! If she runs away again, Get out, and I'll have you useless slaves beaten to death!" After that, he walked out angrily.
The maids were all silent and knelt down to ask the young lady to eat the bird's nest and have a good rest. Ye Yanru was also frightened by her father's momentum for a moment and did not dare to mess around anymore. She glanced at the maid holding the bird's nest, took the bowl of bird's nest soup that was no longer hot, drank a few sips, then returned to the bed and undressed and lay down. The maids came forward and covered her with quilts. Then he silently closed the door and left.
In the next few days, Ye Yanru behaved well, and Military Attaché Ye gradually relaxed and concentrated on investigating the truth about the arson case in Ye Mansion.
At first, he insisted that Su Qiqi and others were the masterminds behind the scenes. It was not until Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan brought the three men in black who attacked Ouyang Qi that day to him and confronted him face to face that he discovered that it was him. The three hired killers held a grudge because they had been taught a lesson by Qin Chuan. They felt that Military Attaché Ye had caused them trouble, so after leaving, they secretly returned to Ye Mansion and set a fire.
After the truth about the Ye Mansion arson case came to light, Military Attaché Ye was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Mr. Yin Zhou of Jingzhao Mansion was a sensible person, and he mediated between the two parties, finally settling the old feud.
Military Attaché Ye invited Ouyang Qi to live in Ye Mansion to wait for the autumn exam. After Ouyang Qi experienced this turmoil, he did not dare to stay any longer, and could not refuse directly, so he had to respond tactfully: "Thank you Ye Shibo for your kindness. I am still accustomed to living with Brother Qin so that I can concentrate on my studies. Get fame as soon as possible..."
Seeing that he was eager to beg, Ye Yanru curled her lips in displeasure, stepped forward and grabbed Ouyang Qi's arm, shook it and said coquettishly: "Brother Qi, just stay... My father no longer objects to our marriage... …He won’t drive you away again…just stay! Can I ask dad to pay a lot of money to hire a gentleman from Luming Academy to give you lectures?”
Ouyang Qi looked at her moist, red eyes with a pitiful expression, and felt unbearable for no reason. But then he thought of those ferocious men in black, and the slight surge in his heart disappeared instantly.
He gently opened Ye Yanru's hands and said coldly but resolutely: "Miss Ye, you and I are not a good match...you are a golden person, and I am just a commoner...and I have little talent and little knowledge. If my reputation fails, I will have no choice but to live in a shabby room. Living a life of poverty and poverty...Young lady, you should listen to your father and find a husband who is a good match for you..."
After that, he bowed politely to Ye Yanru, then walked quickly to Qin Chuan and said solemnly: "Before the autumn exam, I will stay with you for a few days..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan nodded generously and said with a smile, "Okay, you can stay as long as you want..." After that, he secretly glanced at his sister. She secretly thought in her heart: Rou'er, I've done my best for my brother! Whether you can grasp this fate or not depends on you!
