Sun Li'an was startled, and after regaining consciousness, he murmured with a complex expression: "You still remember..."
Of course Ye Chutang remembered it.
She had just arrived in this world not long ago, was unfamiliar with everything, and had not yet fully adapted to Ye Chutang's identity.
It was snowing heavily and the winter was freezing. She was wearing a big cloak and hugging the heater, but she still felt cold.
At that time, everyone avoided Ye Zheng, fearing that if they got close to him, they would be implicated.
When they left the capital, their whole family had only one carriage and were traveling alone.
However, when they were about to leave the city, someone stopped the carriage.
——It is Sun Li'an.
Ye Chutang opened the curtain and took a look outside. Because Ye Zheng was blocking most of the person, she couldn't see the other person's face clearly. She only remembered that the man had snow on his shoulders and his hands were red and swollen. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
Ye Chutang didn't know Sun Li'an at that time. He only saw that his brother had a cold face and seemed to despise that person. His mother even tried to persuade him in a good-tempered way.
Later, she thought about it carefully and searched for some relevant memory fragments in her mind, and then she realized why her brother had such an attitude.
However, when she wanted to understand this, her parents and brother were gone.
Xu Fengchi suspected that Sun Li'an was related to the accident that happened to his parents, but Ye Chutang felt that it was not that simple.
So she came here specially today to meet Sun Li'an in person.
After seeing him, Ye Chutang's suspicion that he had betrayed his parents disappeared - this was an intuition that was difficult to explain.
The person who waited for a long time in the snow, just to bow and apologize in person and say "I'm sorry, take care of me" just to meet him, should not be able to do such a thing.
Sun Li'an probably thought of the past and gave a wry smile.
"It's all in the past. There's no need to mention it again. Now I'm just a prisoner. Second girl, it's better... don't associate with people like me."
Ye Chutang said: "I know it well, you don't need to worry."
Sun Li'an looked at the girl in front of him and opened his mouth. He had too much to say.
But in the end, he just let out a long sigh.
"...You shouldn't have come back..."
Ye Chutang's heart moved and he raised his eyes to look at him.
"This is where my parents and brother are. If we don't go back here, where should we go?"
Sun Li'an hesitated to speak, too many complicated emotions flashed through his eyes, and then looked at Xiao Wu standing next to her.
A woman of only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a young sister, must be having a difficult time in the capital.
Although she doesn't know how she got in touch with Xie Anbai, this alone is not enough.
Sun Li'an has been in prison for several months. He doesn't know the situation outside or Ye Chutang's current situation. It's normal to have a lot of worries.
"But, but..." Sun Li'an said with difficulty, "In short, you can go anywhere. Apart from the capital, there are many good places in the world to go to. You can go find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and live freely!"
Ye Chutang smiled slightly.
"If that were the case, we wouldn't be back."
The day she decided to return to the capital, she knew what was waiting for them ahead.
Sun Li'an wanted to persuade him again, but when he met the calm but calm eyes of the girl in front of him, he suddenly choked.
Ye Chutang seems to be gentle and gentle, but only the coolness and calmness that occasionally appear in her dark and clear eyes will make people realize that she has a very strong idea.
No one can change what she has decided.
Sun Li'an was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.
"That's it... that's all! In the past, your father once said that when he gets old, he will return to his hometown and take his family to Shiluan City, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a leisurely small courtyard, so comfortable. That is what he loves most. If you change your mind in the future, you can leave the capital and go there."
Ye Chutang's eyebrows moved slightly and she looked at him.
At this time, there were more and more pedestrians at the city gate, and from time to time some people looked here curiously.
Ye Chutang nodded lightly.
"Thank you. Cherish it."
…
"You, the Ye family, really value love and righteousness." Xie Anbai folded his arms, looked at the team that was gradually moving away, and shook his head, "I think about how much kindness he received from your father in the beginning, but in the end, because of a little profit, and Your father is completely at loggerheads. This man is extremely selfish and deserves to be in the situation he is in today, so why should you bother?"
Ye Chutang said: "Only they themselves know what happened back then, right or wrong. I came here today just to clear all the previous accounts, and didn't think much about anything else."
Xie Anbai heard what she said and knew that she knew what she said, so he didn't say anything more.
He pinched Xiao Wu's soft cheeks.
"Your sister is soft-hearted and easily bullied. You have to watch her carefully!"
Xiao Wu blinked, and then nodded vigorously.
--Um! She will never let anyone bully her!
Xie Anbai took a step back, smiled and cupped his hands.
"Okay, I still have some things to do out of the city, so I'll take my leave. If you need help in the future, just take the whistle you sent to Xiao Wu and go to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion."
So that golden whistle is still such an important token?
Ye Chutang was slightly stunned, but a little surprised.
She quickly came to her senses and took Xiao Wu to solemnly thank her again.
Xie Anbai clicked his tongue in his heart, a golden whistle is nothing, as long as he can control Shen Yanchuan in the future, then this gift will be worth it!
He put away his fan with a smile and said goodbye.
…
This small episode did not cause any disturbance. No one knew that Ye Chutang made a special trip to see Sun Li'an off. Even if they knew, they did not take it to heart.
After all, the two of them really just said a few words.
There is a lot of excitement in the capital, and new things happen every day. Especially recently, the incident of Han Tong in Guanglu Temple framed Zhao Hanguang has caused a lot of commotion. Most people's attention has been attracted away, and they can't care about an orphan girl and a prisoner. a small correspondence?
After that day, Ye Chutang rested at home for a few more days. It wasn't until the Imperial Academy was on holiday and Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng returned home that Ye Chutang handed over an almanac.
"I have chosen a few days to move the tombs of my father, mother and brother. Ayan, let's see which one is better?"
Ye Jingyan took it, and Ye Yunfeng also came over to watch.
After seeing the three red circles next to each other clearly, Ye Yunfeng's eyelids twitched.
"Sister, this is... what you chose?"
"Yes. But we only provide a few options, and Ayan still has to decide in the end." Ye Chutang took a sip of tea.
Ye Yunfeng: "..."
What's the point? These three days are all right next to each other!
Ye Jingyan didn't seem surprised by this. She raised her hand and pointed at the red circle at the front.
"Just this day, the sooner the better."
