After coming out of the government office and sitting on the carriage, Lu Zhu and Forsythia looked guilty.
The two of them only focused on the entrance of the alley, but they didn't expect that there was a remote corner gate behind the government office.
If Zhou Wuwei hadn't been alert, they might have caused a catastrophe.
"You two, please stop crying. I have lived in the government office for such a long time and I didn't even know there was a corner door. It's understandable that you didn't find it."
Even though she said this, the two little girls still burst into tears.
"Girl, we must act cautiously in the future and we will not cause trouble to the girl."
Luzhu wiped away her tears with a determined look on her face.
"Okay, from now on you can learn from Grandma Liu more. She is the most prudent and thoughtful in doing things."
As soon as he mentioned Grandma Liu, Ye Jintang looked up and saw her standing at the entrance of Jade Alley, looking around.
When she saw the carriage of Ye Jintang and his party, she immediately strode over to greet it.
Seeing Grandma Liu's posture, Ye Jintang had a vague feeling that something should happen at home.
"Miss, you are back. Mr. Ye came to the house early this morning. My servant told Mr. Ye that the girl went to the temple to pray for the master and his wife."
"Yesong is here? He is on time."
Ye Jintang didn't have a good impression of the Ye family.
Ye Song is his cousin. On the surface, he looks talented and can speak well, but in fact, he is extremely selfish.
In the original work, he came to pick up the original owner and made a lot of money from it, especially some antique jades, which he quietly took away.
He came to Yuezhou in such a hurry, not because he was worried about Ye Jintang being bullied, but because he was afraid that the Ye family's property would be stolen by someone who wanted to do it.
"Has Ye Song asked you something?"
"Master Ye once asked my servant why the girl didn't live in the government office. The servant only said that she entered the mansion late and didn't know why the girl moved out."
"I also asked my servant if anyone has been with the girl recently. My reply was that only Governor Song occasionally takes care of the girl."
"Okay, you two should be strict with your mouths, and don't be tricked into talking."
"Slave understands"
"I understand, little one."
Ye Jintang warned the people around him before walking towards Jade Alley.
Ye Song came just in time. She was worried that no one would expose Governor Song's embezzlement of disaster relief funds, so Ye Song was just the one to handle the matter.
And she was that poor helpless little aunt from beginning to end.
This identity is very convenient for her.
The carriage stopped, and Ye Jintang, wearing a gauze hat, walked into the small courtyard unhurriedly.
Hearing the commotion, Ye Song came out of the main room and saw Ye Jintang, who was dressed in white and wearing a gauze hat, with a slightly petite figure.
"Sixth sister is finally back. If you don't come back, I will look for you."
Ye Song stepped forward with a smile.
"I've met Third Brother."
Ye Jintang took off his gauze hat and stepped forward to give Ye Song a blessing ceremony.
The Ye Song in front of him was indeed a talented person. With his height of 1.8 meters and his handsome face, he stood out among the crowd.
The two exchanged pleasantries and entered the room together. As soon as they sat down, Ye Song said with a sad face, "Uncle Six and Aunt Six went in a hurry. You have been wronged these past few days."
"The letter said that because of the epidemic, both Uncle Six and Aunt Six were cremated in a hurry and there was no funeral. As a junior, I feel very uncomfortable."
"Before I came here, my grandmother told me to hold a funeral for Uncle Six and Aunt Six in Yuezhou City. After that, I would take you back to the capital."
As he spoke, Ye Song's eyes were slightly red, as if he didn't know how sad he was.
Ye Jintang on the side secretly complained that Ye Li was the sixth eldest son in the family and was not a favored one. Otherwise, the second son of the Danyang Marquis Mansion would not just be a prefect, and he had been there for more than ten years without any promotion. .
In the original work, Ye Jintang only met Ye Song twice when he was a teenager, one was when the old Marquis was born, and the other was when the old Marquis passed away.
We have only met twice in more than ten years. If we want to talk about feelings, we can't force it out.
"Fourth brother, my parents have been dead for so long, there is no need to pay for the funeral."
At first glance, the Danyang Marquis Mansion showed no sincerity. Even if they had to make up for the funeral, they should make up a decent funeral for Magistrate Ye and Mrs. Wen in the capital, so that they could be buried in the Ye family's ancestral grave.
Make up funerals for the two people in Yuezhou. There are no relatives and friends of the Ye family here, and there is no ancestral home of the Ye family. Who will provide the supplies?
"I have already taken my parents' ashes home. When I return to the capital another day, I can just take them with me. I believe my parents will understand my good intentions."
"That's fine."
Ye Song responded and stopped talking about the matter. He changed the topic and asked about Ye Jintang's situation.
On the surface, Ye Jintang is gentle and gentle, answering all questions, but in his heart, he is really complaining that Ye Song is a hypocrite.
She had clearly told him that the urn of Ye Li and his wife was at home, but he was indifferent and didn't even think of burning incense for them.
Such people really have no human touch at all.
"Sixth sister, how will the family's property be managed when Uncle Sixth passes away suddenly?"
Ye Jintang shook his head with red eyes.
"Except for the things I moved out, I don't know much about other properties. There was a shopkeeper Wen at the bank, who said he wanted to help me sell my property. But the bank was sold, but I didn't see any money."
"Later, shopkeeper Wen only left a letter saying that he was going back to Wen's family in Xingnan, and he is still missing."
"There is also Governor Song. I was living well in Fuya. But Governor Song said that Magistrate Zhao was coming to take office soon and asked me to move out of Fuya. He only gave me one day to move. Most of the family members I can’t bring anything out.”
Ye Jintang's tears fell down as she spoke. She held the handkerchief and cried softly. She shrugged her shoulders and couldn't say a word.
In terms of acting skills, Ye Jintang has never been afraid of anyone. If it weren't for her good acting skills in her previous life, she would have been forced to death by those weird relatives.
What she said was half true and half false. Ye Song secretly clenched his fists after hearing this, wishing he could hack Shopkeeper Wen and Governor Song to death.
Before he came here, he had thought that there might be some people here interested in the property of Magistrate Ye. After all, the Ye family had few relatives and friends in Yuezhou, and it would be difficult for a little girl like Ye Jintang to support him.
But he didn't expect that this group of people would be so frantic and swallow up all of Magistrate Ye's property.
When Grandma Liu went out just now, he looked around the whole courtyard and found that there were not many furnishings in the house, and the total amount was only a thousand taels of silver.
He didn't believe that Ye Li, who had been the prefect for so many years, still didn't have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in his hands.
Then Ye Song, under the guise of caring about Ye Jintang, made insidious remarks about the Ye family's property.
However, Ye Jintang was a house girl, so there weren't many things he could find out.
Ye Song donated a fifth-rank official in the capital. Although he was a sinecure, he was much higher than the ninth-rank Governor Song.
Ye Song wanted to see Governor Song, so he directly sent his servant to the Song family to tell Governor Song to come to Feicui Alley to meet him if he had anything to ask.
In less than half an hour, the owner of the small courtyard became Ye Song. Without asking Ye Jintang at all, he directly asked Aunt Liu to sell all the items in the courtyard.
"Fourth brother, I want to keep a few pieces as a souvenir."
Ye Jintang looked at Ye Song eagerly.
"I'm going to take you to the capital. It's a long journey, and I won't be able to carry large furniture with me. But you can leave some small items, like a dressing box, as a souvenir for yourself."
"good."
Ye Jintang responded casually, feeling cold in his heart.
As he expected, Ye Song only cared about her family's property, and nothing else was in his consideration.
Fortunately, when she moved, she was careful enough to put all the valuable furniture in the space. What she uses now are all the items in the previous guest room.
"Mama Liu, go find a servant and come over and see how much our furniture can sell for."
"Sixth sister, you are a stay-at-home girl. Let me do all the publicity work. You can tidy up the things at home in the past few days. We will set off in two days."
"good."
