Xu Fengchi was slightly stunned.
If someone else had said this, he would have thought that the other person was just having a whim, but when these words came out of Ye Chutang's mouth, he felt inexplicably - she could really do it!
Just like before, he repeatedly told them not to return to the capital to avoid falling into deeper danger, but she still came back with Ayan Afeng Xiaowu.
The expected situation did not happen, but Ye Heng's family was in constant trouble.
Ever since the day Ye Chutang took the initiative to find him, he had never underestimated her, but now he realized that he still underestimated her.
Xu Fengchi solemnly said: "If you need any help, just ask."
Ye Chutang frowned: "Then I'll thank Uncle Xu first."
Seeing the smile on her lips and the clear and bright eyes, Xu Fengchi felt relieved.
However, Xu Fengchi frowned again when he thought of another thing.
"By the way, does Ye Heng have anything to say about the house in Liuwan Lane? When do they plan to move out?"
That was Ye Zheng's house, not his.
At first, everyone thought that Ye Chutang's brother and sister were all dead, so they gave Ye Heng the opportunity to silently take over the house as his own.
But now that Ye Chutang and the others are back, why does Ye Heng have any reason to continue to dominate?
Ye Chutang took a sip of tea and shook his head.
Xu Fengchi had actually expected this, and his brows furrowed even more.
"What's going on with him? Why don't I go find him and talk to him!"
Ye Chutang had no intention of letting Xu Fengchi come forward.
"After all, this is a 'family matter' of the Ye family, and it's inappropriate to involve you."
"But - are we just going to let them stay at your house forever?"
The corners of Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly.
"In a few days, it will be Ayan's fourteenth birthday."
Xu Fengchi was stunned and suddenly realized something: "What do you mean..."
Ye Chutang said warmly: "Fourteen is the age when you can support your family and become an independent family."
…
The meal at Xu's house was much more relaxed.
"Sister Chutang, I remember that you used to like eating pea yellow. Try this?" Xu Rongqing said with a smile.
Ye Chutang blinked: "Thank you."
In memory, the original owner did like this very much, but she thought it was too sweet and didn't eat it very much.
After all, it was the other party's good intentions.
She took a piece for herself. It was soft, sweet and rich in taste.
"It's hard to eat such authentic pea yellow in Jiangling." Ye Chutang turned his head and glanced at Xiao Wu who was eating sweetly. He really didn't know how his little belly could hold so much food, "Xiao Wu also liked it very much. "
Xu Rongqing seemed to be relieved, and his eyebrows relaxed: "As long as you like it. In fact, there is a dim sum shop in the west of the city that has been open for many years. It is a specialty. If you like it, I will buy it later."
Xu Fengchi glanced at him.
Ye Chutang naturally declined: "That would be too troublesome for you."
Xu Rongqing seemed to have realized something, and coughed lightly: "Then, how about I take you there later? That place is quite difficult to find. It just so happens that you haven't been back to the capital for a long time, so you can look around."
Compared to them, Xu Rongqing is indeed quite familiar with the capital.
Ye Chutang was about to speak when the wind suddenly picked up outside and blew open the window.
She glanced outside and saw the leaves rustling in the courtyard and the branches swaying in the wind.
There was a touch of moisture in the air, which was dull and depressing.
"I'm afraid it's not very convenient today." Ye Chutang said, "It looks like it's going to rain."
The horizon has been smudged with a large area of crow green, which is heavy and gloomy.
Ye Chutang stood up and said, "The rain shouldn't be too light. Otherwise, we should go back first."
Summer in Beijing is rainy, sometimes for several days at a time.
Xu Fengchi quickly ordered someone to prepare the car.
When Ye Chutang and the others arrived in front of the carriage, raindrops were already falling.
She raised her head to cover Xiao Wu's head, and suddenly heard some hurried footsteps behind her.
"Sister Chutang!"
Xu Rongqing came quickly and handed over an oil-paper umbrella.
"Take this with you, in case it rains heavily."
The cool rain fell on my forehead, making me feel chilly.
Ye Chutang took the umbrella and smiled at him: "Thank you for your trouble. I will return this umbrella another day."
The tips of Xu Rongqing's ears turned red: "You're welcome, it's just an umbrella, just keep it!"
Ye Chutang opened his umbrella and held it on Xiao Wu's head.
Ye Yunfeng carried the little girl onto the carriage, and Ye Jingyan came over and took the umbrella.
"Sister, please get in the car first."
Ye Chutang nodded, lifted up his skirt and got into the carriage.
Xu Rongqing watched them leave and didn't look back until the carriage disappeared around the corner.
"Rong Qing."
Xu Fengchi suddenly called him.
Xu Rongqing turned around: "Dad, what's wrong?"
Xu Fengchi hesitated and said, "Are you..."
He stopped mid-sentence.
"Forget it, it's nothing."
Chutang had just returned to the capital, and there were too many things to verify and solve. As for other things... it would be better to find a suitable time to ask her later.
…
This burst of rain came quickly, and soon there was water on the road.
The raindrops fall and create ripples.
Ye Yunfeng turned around and asked, "Sister, don't you have to go to the eldest princess's mansion today?"
Ye Chutang said "Yeah" and wiped a few drops of rain off Xiao Wu's face with a handkerchief.
"The eldest princess is recovering well. I don't need to go there every day anymore. I'll be fine after a while of recuperation."
A strong wind blew and the curtain was raised. Ye Jingyan immediately went over to tighten it.
The rain kept falling on the carriage, making a crackling sound.
Xiao Wu winced unconsciously, holding Ye Chutang tightly with his little hands. A trace of panic and fear appeared in the depths of his dark and clear eyes, and his face turned pale.
Ye Chutang took her into his arms and patted her back gently.
"We'll be home soon."
Ye Chutang coaxed in a low voice.
Xiao Wu buried his head in her arms, his little body still trembling.
Ye Yunfeng was heartbroken and pulled the reins hard: "Drive!"
Ever since the accident three years ago, Xiao Wu has been afraid of riding in a carriage. Originally, she was much better when they walked slowly back to Beijing, but now the wind and rain are constantly beating on the carriage, and she is starting to be afraid again. .
Ye Chutang's eyes fell forward. Suddenly he thought of something and rubbed Xiao Wu's head.
"Xiao Wu, you have unlocked half of the chain lock last time. Do you want to unlock the rest?"
Xiao Wu gradually settled down, and after a while, she finally poked her head out of Ye Chutang's arms. The fear in her eyes had not completely faded away, and was mixed with a bit of confusion and curiosity.
Chain lock... chain lock...
Ye Chutang pinched her cheek.
"Didn't he say that once you untie it, it will all be yours?"
Xiaowu frowned.
——But, but the carriage belongs to the prince, so it doesn’t seem very convenient.
Ye Chutang fell into deep thought.
Hmm... How about borrowing it from Shen Yanchuan?
