Why isn't Ye Heng upset?
"This matter is not as simple as you think."
He had spent a lot of effort before being promoted to the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Who knew that Su Wei was so at odds with him? After the recent incidents, his colleagues even avoided him.
No matter how good he is, there is still no improvement.
After all, it’s because of the eldest princess!
If it weren't for Ye Chutang, how could he have fallen to this point?
"Anyway, don't worry about it. Wait until this period of time has passed before you find a way out."
Ye Shixian was unwilling to give up.
It sounds easy to say this, but the officialdom is ups and downs, and who knows when the chance to turn around will come?
If it's only three to five months, that's it, but if it's longer... How can she afford to delay?
She originally thought that with Ye Heng's promotion, her status would also rise accordingly, and she would take this opportunity to marry into a high-ranking family, but now...
Even the young masters who liked to be attentive to her had disappeared during this period and had no contact with her without any trace.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m afraid of bad luck, or...
In the past few years, Ye Heng had been going well, and even Ye Shixian had been praised by the stars. How could he bear such a big gap?
But Ye Heng also looked sad, so what could she say?
"Xian'er knows."
Ye Heng glanced at her, thinking that after all he had an obedient daughter, his expression softened slightly.
"Don't think too much, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. By the way, how is Mingze doing today?"
Ye Shixian shook her head.
"Still not awake. Besides, I originally wanted to ask Ye Chutang to come over for consultation, but I'm afraid that won't be possible now."
Ye Heng frowned: "What?"
Ye Shixian bit her lip and repeated what Shaoyao said before.
After hearing this, Ye Heng's face turned very ugly.
"She is really lucky!"
Ye Shixian turned her eyes and said, "Dad, actually, this matter has good and bad consequences. It depends on how everyone sees it."
Ye Heng didn't understand what she meant: "How do you say it?"
Ye Shixian lowered her voice.
"She is always trying to create a good reputation for herself, but she doesn't know that reputation can save people, but it can also kill people!"
…
The two carriages turned into Liuwan Lane and stopped at the gate of Ye Mansion.
Ye Chutang got off the carriage and took Xiao Wu to say goodbye to them.
"Thank you very much, Prince and Princess this time."
Princess Qinyang asked without giving up: "Are you really not going to pick two people to take care of you?"
Ye Chutang smiled and declined.
Princess Qinyang had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, at worst we can come visit you more often."
She coughed: "But I may be busy in the next half month. If I can't come, it will be the same if my brother comes."
Ye Chutang: "That's not true -"
"I'm sorry for delaying Miss Ye Er's business this time." A cold and low voice came. Shen Yanchuan looked at her and nodded gently, "If you have any instructions in the future, Miss Ye Er, just speak up."
Ye Chutang was stunned for a moment, and realized that he was talking about her going up the mountain to offer incense and worship Buddha.
She smiled.
In fact, she doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but...as long as it can bring peace to the souls of her father, mother, and brother, she is willing to do it with devotion.
Ye Chutang bowed his knees and saluted, saying word by word:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
…
After taking Xiao Wu back to the room, Xiao Wu closed the door and immediately looked over eagerly.
Ye Chutang scratched her red nose.
"Okay, it's really nothing. I'll just help my sister change her medicine later."
Xiao Wu finally felt relieved when he heard that she was willing to help him change the dressing.
She nodded repeatedly.
Ye Chutang thought of something: "By the way, your third and fourth brothers may be coming back later. Let's add some dishes."
…
Just as Ye Chutang expected, the brothers came back after a while.
Ye Yunfeng ran in anxiously: "Sister!"
Ye Chutang didn't even raise his head: "Your sister is not dead, but you will kill her."
"Sister!"
Ye Yunfeng was swept in by a gust of wind. When he heard Ye Chutang's voice, he finally let go of his worries.
"Sister, my third brother and I heard in the Imperial College that something happened to you, so we rushed back right away!"
He looked at Ye Chutang carefully several times, smelling the bitter medicinal smell on her body, and his expression changed slightly.
"What's going on?"
Ye Chutang looked up and saw Ye Jingyan coming back closely behind.
He was more stable than Ye Jingyan, but at this time he was also frowning and looking worried: "Sister, what happened yesterday?"
Ye Chutang put down the account book in his hand, smiled, and said, "I'm fine. I just got a dart in my shoulder and a little flesh injury. It's not serious."
Ye Yunfeng looked at her left shoulder: "Didn't sister go up the mountain to offer incense? How could it be - they also said that you fell off the cliff in order to save Prince Beihou, is it true?"
Ye Chutang stood up and turned around so that the three brothers and sisters could see clearly.
"It's true, but I never do anything I'm not sure about. Can you rest assured now?"
Ye Jingyan breathed a long sigh of relief.
When he heard the news, his first reaction was that Sister A did it on purpose, but Sister A had never mentioned this before, so he was still very uneasy after all.
It wasn't until this moment that he finally felt relieved when he got Ajie's affirmative answer.
It's just... he was injured after all.
Ye Yunfeng was still distressed, "If you tell me who it is later, I will definitely pay them back a hundredfold!"
Ye Chutang thought of what happened the night before, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Those people fell into Shen Yanchuan's hands and knew that they would not end well.
"Then wait until you are older. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Ye Jingyan's heart moved: "...sister, do you know the other party's identity?"
Ye Chutang nodded.
"But this time it's not for me, so don't worry."
The one who really has a headache is probably the one from Prince Qi’s Mansion...
Seeing that Ye Chutang didn't want to say anything, Ye Jingyan didn't continue to ask.
"Anyway, sister, it's fine."
His eyes turned and landed on the desk.
It was an open account book, with a pile next to it.
"Are these the accounts of the recovered shops in the past three years? Hasn't Sister seen them before?"
Ye Chutang's green-white fingers tapped lightly on it.
"Although it is a fake account book, there is still something to behold. Otherwise, when I go back to meet the shopkeepers, I won't be able to ask a single word."
Only when you know something in your mind can you act easily.
Ye Jingyan suddenly said: "What sister said makes sense."
Ye Chutang put the account book aside and said, "By the way, you and your teaching assistant will take a leave of absence for the next few days and won't go back to the Imperial College yet."
"Really?" Ye Yunfeng perked up for a moment, but soon realized something was wrong and scratched his head, "Is there something you want me and my third brother to do?"
Ye Jingyan had a vague guess in her heart: "Sister, I want to..."
The next moment, Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly and he smiled softly:
"The house deed and land title have been taken back. It would be more reassuring to go and take a look at your own property in person, right?"
