The two discussed it, and Xia Chunyu hurriedly took action and took Manager Zhao out. Ye Jiayao also wrote a letter and asked Song Qi to send it to Prince Helian's Mansion.
After doing this, Chunfeng came back with Xiaoya.
Xiaoya's face was sallow, her eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and she looked very painful, but she tried her best to endure it without crying, and her eyes were calm. When she returned to the princess, she never thought about escaping unscathed.
She has been serving the princess since she was a child, and has seen countless palace maids being tortured by the princess. They were killed with sticks, hanged, and tortured in various ways. They used long and thin needles to pierce the internal organs to death, poured boiling water, and ate a whole body. A pot of red pepper until he vomited blood and died...
Those were just small mistakes that led to such a miserable end, not to mention betrayal. The princess gave her a mute medicine to save her life, but it was just for the third young master to see, to make the third young master feel guilty and make the third young master suffer.
It's just... She didn't expect that the third young master would just barge in, kick out the women who were holding her down, and take her out.
It was tantamount to a complete break with the princess.
Along the way, the third young master held her tightly and kept comforting her: "Don't be afraid, I won't let you die..."
His voice was shaking.
She huddled in his arms, greedily feeling his body temperature and breathing in his breath. Although her throat hurt as if she had poured boiling water, as if there were thousands of steel needles pricking her, she didn't care at all. Even if she died at this moment, She was also content.
To this day, she still feels that she is dreaming and that the scene was her hallucination.
Chunfeng said solemnly: "Second sister-in-law, Xiaoya will leave it to you."
Ye Jiayao also said solemnly: "She is with me, don't worry."
Even if there was no Chunfeng factor, she would not sit idly by just because Xiao Yaken revealed information to her that day.
Chunfeng looked at Xiaoya worriedly, with deep concern in his eyes: "Don't worry, you can recover here. The doctor said there is still hope."
Xiaoya struggled to squeeze out a smile and nodded.
She was not worried at all, it didn't matter even if she became mute, the third young master could care about her so much, she would be willing to die.
She is self-aware, and she will not fantasize about anything. Really, that's it, it's enough.
Ye Jiayao said: "What are you going to do? Do you want to go back?"
Chunfeng's face showed determination: "I have to go back. I can still watch her in the house, and she can't be unscrupulous."
"Okay, but you still have to calm down, a little impatience will mess up the big plan." Ye Jiayao reminded.
No matter how much he hates Liuli now, he cannot act rashly until Cuiyan is found and the hidden danger is eliminated.
Liuli has a special status. Even if she needs to be dealt with, it can only be dealt with by the royal family.
Chunfeng pursed his lips tightly and remained silent before nodding: "I will."
After sending Chunfeng away, Ye Jiayao personally took Xiaoya to the side courtyard to rest, and asked Ye Xue to take good care of Xiaoya.
Xiaoya wanted to say something grateful, but couldn't. Back then, she helped the princess deal with the Second Young Mistress, and she often made bad ideas. Now, the Second Young Mistress not only let things go, but also took the initiative to take her in. She felt very ashamed.
Ye Jiayao understood the meaning in her eyes, smiled and said, "Let her let the past go. From now on, you can stay with me peacefully."
Before Chunfeng spoke herself, she wouldn't say anything more, she just wanted to take good care of him.
Song Qi came back soon and said that Princess Yide would enter the palace early tomorrow morning.
It took more than an hour for Chunsu to come back. Lord Jiu readily agreed and would immediately order his men to inquire around. The fiefdom had also found connections and would inquire as soon as possible.
Both of them were a little tired from their busy work, so they rested after washing.
Xia Chunyu hugged Ye Jiayao, stroked her hair, and sighed: "I originally said that I would go south with you at this time and have fun all the way, but in the end, I didn't go anywhere, not even Zhenjiang. It’s exhausting to have to deal with so many stressful things.”
Ye Jiayao lay in his arms and said quietly: "I can't blame you. The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. No one expected that the Queen Mother would pass away suddenly."
Xia Chunyu smiled bitterly: "I think I made a mistake at the beginning. If I had relied on my own ability to dispel the idea of a marriage between the Queen Mother and the Emperor, maybe Liuli wouldn't hate you."
"Put it down. As long as you propose to break off the engagement, no matter who you marry in the future, Liuli will hate that person. She is so arrogant and arrogant. She cannot bear any grievance and will retaliate. What's more, I have offended her before."
What Ye Jiayao said was true. Regardless of whether Chunyu was with her or not, Liuli would hate her. She and Liuli were destined to be enemies, irreconcilable and irresolvable. Only one of them would fall completely.
Xia Chunyu was speechless, wondering how there could be such a paranoid person in this world, obsessed with hatred. The fire of hatred burned others and himself.
"Go to sleep, don't think too much, maybe there will be good news tomorrow." Ye Jiayao felt his low mood and comforted him.
The next day, there was news from Yide.
There are two people who are most suspicious. One is Aunt Fang. Aunt Fang loves Liuli very much. Last time she was kicked by Chunfeng and her ribs were broken. After the injury was healed, the Queen Mother let her leave the palace to rest. Her address is still there. Check, she moved out of her original residence more than a month ago, and no one knows where she moved.
There is also Aunt Lu, who also loves Liuli very much. She left the palace three years ago. It is said that she is from Suzhou and has returned to Suzhou to take care of herself.
Ye Jiayao thought that Mrs. Qiao released Cuiyan during the period when she disappeared, which meant that it had been two months ago. It was very suspicious that grandma suddenly moved more than a month ago. Ye Jiayao was almost certain that the person was hiding at Grandma Fang's place.
Then if you find Nanny Fang, you will definitely find Cuiyan.
The goal suddenly became clear.
Ye Jiayao suddenly gained confidence and wrote back, asking Princess Yide to find out who any relatives or close sisters that Grandma Fang had, and immediately sent Song Qi to the place where Grandma Fang lived to find out. Can you find some clues
Song Qi came back excitedly at noon, saying that Grandma Fang’s neighbors said that two months ago, a relative of Grandma Fang came to visit her and stayed at Grandma Fang’s house for a while. According to the description of the neighbors, that relative looked like It's green smoke.
Ye Jiayao was shocked. OK, the idea was indeed right. Then the next step is to find Grandma Fang with all our strength.
In the afternoon, another news came from Yide, saying that Grandma Fang had an eldest brother, but he died of illness a few years ago, leaving behind a nephew in Yangzhou. Grandma Fang’s eldest brother was named Fang Zhiyu. An old sister from the past said it.
In Yangzhou? That's easy to handle, just leave it to Ye Binghuai. As a fellow magistrate of Yangzhou, finding someone is not a piece of cake. Of course, it is not ruled out that Grandma Fang is still in Jinling and renting a small house to hide.
Ye Jiayao made a series of arrangements like this. When Master Jiu was looking for someone, he asked them to look for Granny Fang based on her characteristics and appearance. Cui Yan would definitely not show up.
Before dinner, Ye Jiayao went to see Youshi.
Youshi's face turned out to be even worse than yesterday. Sun's mother quietly told her that Youshi didn't sleep last night.
Ye Jiayao was worried, so it was okay.
Originally, she didn't want to talk about the progress of the search for Cuiyan in advance. She wanted to wait until someone found it before talking about it. She liked to talk about it after the matter had settled, so as not to make any mistakes and make people think that she was talking big. But for the sake of Mrs. An You, Ye Jiayao had no choice but to talk about it. Reported truthfully.
"Mother, we have some clues about Cui Yan's whereabouts."
Youshi was surprised: "Seriously?"
"Well, I suspect that Liuli handed over the person to Aunt Fang. Aunt Fang moved suddenly more than a month ago, and the neighbors said they had seen Cuiyan."
The joy on Youshi's face slowly dimmed again, and she said regretfully: "I have moved... How can I find this? Jinling City is so big, and we can't mobilize a large number of people to look for someone openly. If she leaves Jinling, it will be a huge world." Nowhere to be found.”
"Mom, it's actually not that difficult to find someone in Jinling City. There are overt ways and hidden ways. Even if you leave Jinling, where can Nanny Fang go with a pregnant woman? She must be going to join her relatives. Now Her relatives are also missing, so we don’t have to worry about not being able to find them, it’s just a matter of time.”
Hearing this, Youshi felt relieved again and sighed: "Jinxuan, it's all thanks to you that this happened, otherwise..."
"Mother, you are out of line when you say this. You leave the matter of hosting the wedding to your daughter-in-law, and leave this home to your daughter-in-law. Naturally, your daughter-in-law will do her best. Mother, you should take good care of your health as soon as possible. Otherwise, everyone will Do not feel at ease."
Youshi thought about it. She was sick now and couldn't do anything. Her worries were in vain. Instead, they made her children feel uneasy.
"By the way, I heard that Chunfeng placed Xiaoya in the mansion?" Youshi asked.
Ye Jiayao said: "Well, I asked Chunfeng to send Xiaoya here. Xiaoya was a little injured, but fortunately it's not serious."
Youshi looked confused and said quietly: "Xiaoya is angry. This child used to be foolish and loyal, but she is still affectionate. You should take good care of her."
"My wife will do it."
At the moment of Shen Zheng, the two brothers Chunyu and Chunfeng came back together.
Ye Jiayao told them about the progress again, and both of them were a little excited. They didn't expect that they would have a clue in just one day.
"What's going on over there at Liuli?" Ye Jiayao asked.
Chunfeng really didn't want to mention this person, but he had to mention it.
"I had a fight last night and I ignored her."
Yes, Liuli acted like a lunatic last night. If he hadn't thought of his second sister-in-law's warning, he would have wanted to slap Liuli on the spot, but he had to hold it back.
"Now I will send someone to keep an eye on her. If there is any trouble in the house, I will know it right away." Chunfeng said.
Chunyu nodded: "I think I might ask Master Jiu to send a few people to keep an eye on Liuli. I'm not worried about the people on your side."
Chunfeng said gloomily: "Second brother, you are too underestimated. I have already made arrangements for the palace. Xiaoya is not the only one who has my eyes and ears."
Ye Jiayao glared at Chunyu. She could handle this kind of thing in private. There was no need to say it in front of Chunfeng. Chunfeng was frustrated now, and you still hit him.
Chunyu touched his nose and stopped talking.
"Second sister-in-law, where is Xiaoya? Is her voice feeling better?" Chunfeng became concerned about Xiaoya again.
