Chapter 013: The Turmoil
Ye Wanqing's ceremony finally came in the busyness of the whole house, and the grand banquet had nothing to do with Ye Shuyao, she just needed to stand there as a porcelain vase. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info right, even the vase can't be counted, stay quietly aside and don't steal the spotlight, don't move, be a good supporting role, can only be regarded as a porcelain vase.
Looking at Ye Wanqing in full costume, Shu Yao only felt stuffy, it was dog days, and even if there were a lot of ice basins in the hall, they couldn't dispel much heat.
Ye Wanqing was not afraid to wear a seven-layer veil dress, she only wore three layers and was so hot that she was about to faint, but why did Ye Wanqing not see a drop of sweat and still maintain a decent smile.
The complicated process, the guests and blessings in the court, Ye Shuyao's head was very dizzy, she felt as if she was about to suffer from heat stroke, at this time a little girl hit her with freshly squeezed juice, and her refreshing lotus lotus color clothes were suddenly spent.
Ye Shuyao looked at it, it turned out to be the little girl in the main courtyard, okay, she understood, smiled and asked to retire and change clothes. Do you want her to wear that ugly and damn clothes? No, she had bought an extra one beforehand.
The maids in Zhiqiu Courtyard were all lent out to entertain guests, and no one helped her at this time, so Ye Shuyao had to take care of this troublesome dress by herself.
Put on the honey-colored dress, and then hang the purse given by the store, which looks more pleasing to the eye than the previous dress. My grandmother won't use the same method twice, and when the banquet is about to start, it won't be her face alone if this situation occurs.
Shu Yao really didn't understand what the two people in the main courtyard were competing with her, obviously the second sister was already better looking than her, and today she was dressed up again, wouldn't it be okay to do your etiquette well, why bother to provoke her again.
Ye Shuyao was depressed and about to go back to the main hall, when suddenly a man in black broke into Zhiqiu Courtyard, covered her mouth, and put a dagger against her neck.
"Don't make a sound, or you'll ......"
Ye Shuyao's mind was blank, the cold blade was attached to her neck, her body was stiff, and the buzzing sound in her ears made it impossible to hear what the man in black was saying.
"Don't be afraid, I don't want to hurt you, is there a hiding place here?"
Ye Shuyao pointed to the hand he was holding his mouth, indicating that he couldn't speak now.
"I let go of my hand, don't scream. Shu Yao nodded hurriedly.
"Big brother, can you take the knife away?" The man in black hesitated for a moment and took the knife away a little.
Ye Shuyao was relieved that this man in black was not like a vicious person, and he should not be in danger.
"Come with me, I know there's a secret room. "The secret room was accidentally discovered by Ye Shuyao when she was tidying up her biological mother's room, the switch of the secret room is integrated with the wall, and the color is also seamlessly connected with the wall, and there is no response to general knocking. If she hadn't been too bored, she wouldn't have found out.
It left her a lot of ancient books and some jewelry, and she also put the silver tickets she earned into it, hoping that the eldest brother would not be interested in getting rich.
The man in black was stunned for a moment, afraid that he didn't expect her to be so easy to speak.
The two entered the main house of Zhiqiu Courtyard, Shu Yao turned on the switch of the secret room with great difficulty, and after sending the man in black in, she reacted, why did she help him?
But at this time there was already a commotion outside, and now regretting it would be counted as an accomplice? As if there was no choice, she quickly closed the secret room, checked that there was no trace, and walked back to the west wing by herself.
Ye Shuyao pretended to be changing clothes, and when she heard the movement outside getting louder and louder, Zi Su ran in at this time and hurriedly helped her put on her clothes, "Miss, why are you here, someone from the eldest prince came outside, saying that someone broke into the prince's mansion and stole something important, and this will check our yard!"
"Oh, then let them look it up. "You won't see the Chamber of Secrets, well, absolutely not.
"The master is outside, let's go out first. ”
Ye Shuyao came out with Zisu, and saw that there were indeed many guards outside. There are also people in other courtyards who are checking.
She felt weak in her heart, so she had to bow her head and make a shy appearance, walked to Ye Qichen's side, and said goodbye.
"Shu Yao has seen Daddy. ”
"Your sister and Lu Li, why don't you stay in the front hall?" Ye Qichen's straight tone couldn't tell the joy and anger.
"There are a lot of customers today, and a maid came back to change my clothes in a hurry. "It's a fact, and someone in the hall saw it at the time, so they won't suspect her because of it.
Ye Qichen hummed and didn't speak again.
Ye Shuyao was a thief, for fear of finding out something, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he only secretly looked in the courtyard.
Ye Qichen noticed her small movements, "What are you looking at?"
"Ahh She was indeed afraid, but it was because the man in black was hiding inside.
Ye Qichen seemed to be touched, walked up to the eldest prince and said something, and the eldest prince ordered his subordinates to move lightly and not mess up things.
After a while, the guards didn't find anything, and when they reported to the eldest prince, it was obvious that his face was a little blue.
"Lord Ye, today is the king's rudeness, just because the things that have been lost are too important, please forgive Lord Ye. disturbed Ling Ai's ceremony, and came to the door another day to apologize. ”
Ye Qichen replied without humility or arrogance: "Your Highness doesn't need to be polite, since the Ye Mansion didn't find the thief, it must be somewhere else, and Your Highness doesn't have to delay here with Xiaguan." ”
The eldest prince took people away with an unkind face, and Ye Shuyao also breathed a sigh of relief, the sultry weather and several shocks made her already bad body almost unbearable.
Ye Qichen saw that her face was pale and her feet were unstable, so he said to Zisu, "Hurry up and help Miss go down to rest, so you don't have to go to the front hall again." ”
Shu Yao didn't hold it up, so he went down to rest honestly.
Ye Wanqing's courtesy was still continuing, but the guests' minds were obviously not on the banquet.
Ye Shuyao was really frightened today, and only after drinking a few cups of tea did she come to her senses, thinking of the man in black who was locked in the secret room by her, as if she should go to see him.
So she told Zisu that she wanted to see if the guards had messed up her mother's room, and she didn't need to follow, but in fact, she didn't dare to follow Zisu if she didn't say it.
Walking into the main house, Ye Shuyao locked the door from the inside, and then went to open the secret room with confidence.
There was a faint smell of rust in the secret room, Ye Shuyao shouted, but no one answered her, and when she walked in, she realized that the man in black had fainted.
"Alas, this big brother, wearing a night coat to steal things in broad daylight, I don't know what you think, if you die here, even I dare not enter this house. ”
The man in black still didn't react, Ye Shuyao had the courage to check his breathing, fortunately, he didn't die.
But what should such a big living person do, she is not a doctor, so let him lie here and die sooner or later.
