This time Youshi was so angry that he vomited blood, seriously hurting his body, and needed to rest. Ye Jiayao asked Mama Sun to take good care of Youshi, and went out first.
Outside, Chunli was still kneeling. He didn't dare to get up, and he didn't have the shame to get up. Previously, his father just kicked him and scolded him. Such a light scolding was just because everyone thought the crisis had been resolved, but now...
Chunli regretted it endlessly. The little bit of yearning and nostalgia he had for Cuiyan was gone. This woman used her charming methods and sweet words to make him dizzy, saying that she didn't seek fame or anything. In this life, as long as she could serve him, she would be willing to be a slave... As a result, she came to make trouble when she should least be making trouble, and was with the person who was least supposed to be with her.
Cuiyan was not desperate, Qiao couldn't resist his begging, and even gave her a large resettlement fee, asking her to leave Jinling and never show up again. That money, if she could save some of it, would be enough for the rest of her life.
But she chose to go with Liuli and became Liuli's weapon against the Hou Mansion.
A moment of mercy will lead to endless troubles.
This time, Chunli was really ashamed. He was greedy and thick-skinned. He was afraid and angry but rarely ashamed. However, now he was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.
Therefore, no matter how Qiao persuaded him and what his mother said, he could not get up. He knew very well that if his father could not see his determination to correct this time, his end would be tragic, and he would really be beaten by his father. give up.
After the discussion, the marquis Xia Zhuofeng and his second son Chunyu came out and saw that he was still kneeling upright in the yard. Their anger finally calmed down a bit. He walked over with a straight face and yelled angrily: "Why are you still here? Get away from me."
Normally, he would have rolled away, but now he didn't dare to move and was ready to be kicked.
Xia Zhuofeng cursed angrily: "You bastard, do you want me to be so angry that I vomit blood?"
Xia Chunyu said: "Brother, just go back first!"
Chunli looked at his second brother and then his father, and said in a low voice: "I'm going to kneel in the ancestral hall."
As he spoke, he got up with difficulty and limped away.
Xia Zhuofeng said in a low voice: "His grandma is still having an affair with me."
"Father, eldest brother really knows that he was wrong this time." Chunyu said. He understood the eldest brother's temper. If he wasn't really scared and ashamed, he would never behave like this.
Xia Zhuofeng still wanted to scold, but when he looked up, he saw Ye Jiayao standing under the eaves of the corridor. He swallowed back the words that came to his lips and said to Chunyu: "You and Jinxuan haven't eaten either. Go and eat first. Don't you want to eat?" Even if you’re hungry, you still have to take care of Jinxuan’s body.”
Chunyu nodded: "My son will have the food delivered later."
Xia Zhuofeng didn't object and went into the house with his hands behind his back.
Ye Jiayao walked over slowly: "What countermeasures did you discuss with dad?"
Xia Chunyu put his arm around her waist and said as he walked: "Be prepared for the worst first. Regardless of whether or not this matter can be resolved in the end or how it will be resolved, my father wants my eldest brother to be released and stay in other places for a few years to gain experience. .”
Ye Jiayao was a little surprised, but thinking about it carefully, this was indeed a good way to leave Jinling and avoid the limelight for a while. Even if the incident happened and the emperor wanted to question the guilt, it would take time to call the person back for confrontation. With this buffer time, They can deal with it calmly, and things will go smoothly if they take things slow. Moreover, this move can also allow Chunli to avoid this inevitable political storm. Chunli's character is actually weak and lacks independent opinions. Not only is there no benefit to staying in Jinling, but it may be a constraint. If someone takes advantage of him, it will be troublesome.
"How is your matter going?" Xia Chunyu asked.
"There should be no problem." Ye Jiayao said.
Today, I have clearly analyzed the stakes with Zhou. Zhou is a person who values profit the most. As long as she understands that her profit is firmly tied to the Hou Mansion, she should not have any objections again.
The strongest fortresses often begin to disintegrate from within. The decisions she and the Marquis made today were based on this understanding. Only by resolving the internal instability factors first and clenching the fist to deal with the outside world in unison can we have no worries. Only such a fist can be powerful.
Dinner was delivered from the kitchen, but neither of them had much appetite for it. As soon as the dishes and chopsticks were put down, Chunfeng came over.
Bringing two pieces of bad news.
First, when he returned, Grandma Fu committed suicide.
Second, Xiaoya was given dumb medicine. Fortunately, he went back in time and grabbed half a bowl of medicine, otherwise Xiaoya would never be able to speak again in her life. Now that the person has been sent for treatment, it is still unknown to what extent she can recover.
When Chunfeng said this, his whole body exuded an overwhelming anger, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
Speaking of hatred is still a general term. To be precise, it is murderous intention. Chunfeng has murderous intention.
Ye Jiayao was shocked. She could understand Chunfeng's anger because Liuli was so hateful, but Chunfeng's hatred had reached such a level, which was beyond her surprise. After all, she was the woman she once loved, and Liuli had harmed her like this. , and even made Youshi vomit blood. Chunfeng was not so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Could it be that there were factors here that she hadn't thought of? Is it because of Xiaoya
The last time Xiaoya gave her a hint, she thought Xiaoya had a conscience and didn't want to help Liuli do evil anymore. Today she found out that Xiaoya was saved by Chunfeng, and Xiaoya returned to Liuli to be Chunfeng's eyes and ears.
Forget it, let's talk about this later. The urgent need to delay now is to find Cuiyan. If you can't find Cuiyan, everything you say will be in vain.
"Where do you think Liuli would hide people?" Chunyu asked with a frown.
Chunfeng shook his head. He was so upset now that he could never guess where Liuli would hide the person.
Ye Jiayao held Chunyu's shoulder with one hand and shook her head at him.
Ye Jiayao asked: "Which medical clinic is Xiaoya at now?"
Chunfeng's eyes flashed with annoyance: "In Qingchun Hall."
Ye Jiayao muttered: "Go and pick her up now! It will be more convenient for her to live with me and hire a doctor, and it will be safe."
Chunfeng was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly: "I'll pick her up right now."
The spring breeze comes and goes in a hurry.
Chunyu also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "Can't you see it yet? Chunfeng cares about Xiaoya very much. If Xiaoya is not properly settled, Chunfeng's heart will not be settled."
Chunyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Jiayao in disbelief.
Ye Jiayao imitated his example and raised her eyebrows, saying, "Believe in a woman's intuition, especially mine."
Chunyu snorted in his heart and cursed: Trust your intuition? Are you intuitive? When Xiao Jing liked you, didn't you stupidly mistake Xiao Jing's love for brotherhood
"Hey, what's your look like?" Ye Jiayao said displeased.
"No, it's nothing. I just think you have a sharp eye." Xia Chunyu didn't dare to say what was in his heart, and he was asking for trouble.
Ye Jiayao didn't have the time to ponder his true thoughts, and thought: "This matter Liuli was entrusted to Aunt Fu. If she was forced to death, this clue would be broken. She will definitely not be in the house." , the property outside Liuli, apart from the three hundred fertile fields, is the fiefdom. The fiefdom is far away in Huaibei, and is managed by the Seventh Prince's loyal men there. It is not ruled out that Liuli will not place people in the fiefdom. This is a possibility. "
"There is another possibility. He is still in Jinling, but Liuli has almost no friends in Jinling. The relationship with Lin is just based on interests, and it is impossible to have a heart-to-heart relationship. Liuli asked Aunt Fu to do it. Aunt Fu once worked in Ninghe Palace. Could it be that the work was arranged at the home of an old palace official from Ninghe Palace?"
Chunyu's eyes lit up: "This is more likely."
Ye Jiayao said: "Then, let's take a three-pronged approach."
Chunyu was stunned: "Three-pronged approach? Aren't there two possibilities?"
Ye Jiayao sighed slightly: "It is not ruled out that Liuli rents a secluded house to hide people. Although this possibility is very small, because such an important trump card, Liuli will definitely put it in the hands of the person he thinks is the most reliable. , but we cannot be careless and cannot let it go as long as there is a slight possibility."
"So, on the other side of the fiefdom, you go think of a way to search Jinling City and ask Master Jiu for help. Master Jiu's people are everywhere. No matter which house is for sale or rent, his people can easily and concealedly search. As for the old palace where they live. On the other side, I’ll ask Princess Yide for help, it’ll be easy to find out.”
Chunyu stroked his palm, looked at Ye Jiayao with a look of great admiration, and said: "Yaoyao, you are really a great girl among women. If you still can't find someone after these three pronged measures, you can write my last name upside down."
At the same time, I sighed in my heart: Liuli, you have found the wrong opponent.
Ye Jiayao smiled and said angrily: "Don't rush to swear. Think about it again. Is there any other possibility? Otherwise, if your surname is reversed, won't my son also have to be reversed in the future? The character "Xia" is reversed. I don’t know what the word is.”
Xia Chunyu laughed: "Don't worry, there is absolutely no such possibility. You have analyzed Liuli's psychology very thoroughly. She doesn't trust the people in the house. She wants friends without friends, even if the Seventh Prince's subordinates will change their focus on the Seventh Prince. But after all, they didn’t have much contact with her, so it was impossible for Liuli to trust them. Therefore, the only person Liuli could trust was the old man who served her in the Queen Mother’s Palace, and he was someone who loved Liuli very much. I bet that Cuiyan It must be in the second possibility you mentioned."
"What's the saying? The people who know you best are often not your relatives or your friends. And your enemy, to Liuli, you are an enemy, an enemy who understands her very well."
Ye Jiayao was speechless for a moment. Indeed, when she was trying to figure out Liuli, she fully analyzed Liuli's character and the way she dealt with things. What did Liuli have and didn't have? Who did Liuli trust the most? Holding such a trump card, where would Liuli hide it
She didn't know that she actually knew Liuli so well.
I hope her guess is right, and the sooner she finds Cui Yan, the sooner she can resolve the crisis.
I recommend an old book "Trial Marriage in Ancient Times" that has just been released on Tencent. It is also very interesting!
