Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why did Mingze say this?"
Ye Mingze stared at her angrily: "You still don't admit it? Who else could it be if it weren't you!? You have clearly harbored a grudge against my mother for a long time, and today you took the opportunity to take action and ruin her face!"
Instead of showing any anger on Ye Chutang's face, he shook his head gently.
"Mingze, I can understand that you are worried about the second aunt, but this matter really has nothing to do with me. You said that I have a grudge against the second aunt. I have only been back to Beijing for a few days, so how can I have any hatred?"
"It's not because of you -" Ye Mingze was halfway through his words when he noticed Shen Yanchuan standing beside him, and the rest of his words were stuck.
He originally wanted to say that Ye Chutang must have done it because he wanted to vent his anger on Xiao Wu, but he must not say this in front of outsiders!
He gritted his teeth: "Anyway, anyway, the most likely person is you!"
Ye Chutang asked back: "Oh? Since you are so sure, where is the evidence?"
Ye Mingze choked.
He is just guessing, where is the evidence?
Ye Chutang thought for a while and said: "If you still feel that way, then we might as well report it directly to the official and ask someone to come and find out the truth. It just so happens that the Crown Prince is also here to be a witness. If it is finally found out that I did it, then I will accept any outcome. But if it is not..."
When Ye Chutang said this, his expression became a little lighter and his eyes became clear.
"Then please apologize to me in public and admit that what you said before was all slander."
Like a bucket of cold water being poured down on his head, Ye Mingze shuddered and finally woke up.
"no!"
Just now he also saw his mother's face, which was covered in red rashes and scratches, which was very scary.
If word spreads, it won't be a good thing.
After all, his father has just been promoted to the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple...
"Mingze!"
A sharp shout came, but it was Ye Heng who rushed over after hearing the movement.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
He quickly cupped his fists and raised his hands to Shen Yanchuan: "Your Majesty, it's funny. Quanzi is too worried about his mother, so don't mind the nonsense he said on the spur of the moment."
Regardless of whether this matter is related to Ye Chutang or not, with no evidence whatsoever, to accuse her fiercely in front of Shen Yanchuan, where does this put Shen Yanchuan's face!
After all, he just said in front of so many people that he was in love with Ye Chutang!
Shen Yanchuan smiled faintly: "It's normal for your master to be worried, but when it comes to reputation, you can't just make accusations without reason. Especially now that Mr. Ye is in a high position, he must be careful in his words and deeds. What do you think? ?”
Ye Heng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said repeatedly: "Yes! You are right!"
Shen Yanchuan dusted off his clothes.
"No need to send each other off."
…
The Ye Mansion is destined to be unrestful this night.
Ye Mingze was pulled back into the room by his ears and ordered not to go out and talk nonsense again.
Gao, on the other hand, stayed in his room, smashing all the mirrors like crazy and crying until his eyes were red and swollen.
Ye Shixian stayed with her for a while, then went to the small kitchen to help her boil medicine.
Ye Heng's mind was in a mess and he didn't want to pay attention to these things, so he simply went to the study.
"Go check it out! Find out what's wrong!"
Thinking of Gao's terrifying appearance, Ye Heng felt a chill go down his spine and asked Yu Hong to investigate.
But this is easy to say but extremely difficult to do.
Because - they don't even know what kind of poison caused Gao to become like this!
Doctor Zhang gave an ambiguous answer. Ye Heng wanted to invite someone to take a look, but he was afraid that Zhang Yang would go out and embarrass the Ye family. After much deliberation, he decided to let Mrs. Gao take the medicine according to the prescription left by Doctor Zhang. .
He spent countless time and energy on today's banquet, but who knew it would be ruined like this!
He actually doubted Ye Chutang in his heart, but Ye Chutang and Dingbei Hou Shizi knew each other, so they definitely couldn't treat him as casually as before.
Finally, he thought of a way - to ask Ye Chutang to help Gao's doctor.
If she really did it, she must be guilty!
…
Here, Ye Chutang took Xiao Wu back to the house and brought her a plate of pear cake.
Only half of the meal was eaten, and the children were still hungry.
"First of all, I will ask your fourth brother to add two more dishes for you later."
Ye Yunfeng took the lead and slipped away.
After they returned to Ye Mansion, except for the first day, they had been cooking alone.
At first, Mrs. Gao pretended to allocate servants and maids to serve them, but Ye Chutang declined.
Gao was naturally happy to save trouble.
Xiaowu didn't go to eat the pear cake immediately. Instead, he took out the purse given by Shen Yanchuan from his arms, ran to the drawer happily, took out everything in the old purse, and counted everything neatly. Put it all into the new purse.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chutang turned her eyes slightly and glanced at the carved nanmu box that she had casually placed on the table after she came back.
Prince Dingbeihou has a profound background, and even the gift box is very particular.
This box alone is worth a lot of money. I don’t know what’s inside——
Ye Chutang walked over. The box was not locked, so she opened it with a flick of her fingertips.
There was a scroll inside.
"Sister, what did he give?" Ye Jingyan also looked over.
Ye Chutang took out the things and opened them bit by bit.
"painting."
To be precise, this is a landscape painting.
The mountains are majestic, the rivers are flowing, the colors are thick and light, the scenery is peaceful, distant and vast.
Ye Jingyan was surprised when she saw the signature: "Is this... the authentic work of Bachelor Chen Songshi and Chen?!"
Chen Songshi was a bachelor of the cabinet of the current dynasty. He was rich in knowledge and was especially good at painting, which was hard to find.
This painting is probably worth more than a thousand gold.
Ye Chutang turned his head and looked at him: "You like it?"
Ye Jingyan's eyes lingered on the painting for a moment, and then she nodded sheepishly.
Ordinary people may not even have a chance to take a look at Chen Songshi's original painting, but now they actually have one in their hands!
I am afraid that only Prince Dingbeihou can give such a generous gift right away.
Ye Chutang handed the painting to Ye Jingyan: "If you like, take it."
Ye Jingyan was stunned: "But sister——"
"After all, this painting cannot be resold. If you keep it with me, it will be hiding in dust. I might as well give it to you."
Ye Jingyan really liked that painting and finally accepted it.
"Thank you, sister."
Ye Chutang looked Ye Jingyan up and down, and suddenly asked: "Ayan, you seem to have grown taller again?"
Two months ago, Ayan was just a little taller than her, but now she was actually looking up at him.
Ye Jingyan stretched her arms: "It seems so."
These clothes are a little too small.
"I'll buy some new clothes for you and A Feng later." Ye Chutang glanced at the sky outside. The gray-green clouds gradually piled up, with a somewhat depressing and depressing atmosphere. "It may rain in the evening. Let's go Collect everything in the yard.”
