The next morning, the weather was slightly cool, Kaoru felt a little cold when he got up in the morning, pushed open the window and looked, only to see that the sky had just dawned, with a color that seemed to be white but not white, and the sun had not yet come out, and it looked a little gloomy.

Today is the day to deal with the Lejia case, Le Tong has been in charge of Lejia for many years as an adopted daughter, and the family business is thriving. This kind of example of family biting each other is not uncommon in Weiguo, and the result of government intervention is mostly to divide the property equally.

When Kaoru sent Yao to the school first, and then turned back to the yamen, most of the catchers had already arrived, and they were all yawning and standing at the door. Ye Chi came very early, sat in front of the hall as usual and wrote something, there was a package on the table, and when he saw her coming, he suddenly smiled at her warmly, and for some reason he seemed very happy.

"Is there anything good?" Kaoru Tandai looked at him puzzled.

Ye Chi still kept a smile, gentle and bright, and got up to put the package in her hand. She opened it suspiciously, and found that it was Xu Ji's refreshments, which are very famous in this area, usually she orders two or three kinds at most when she goes to breakfast, and Ye Chi bought at least fifteen or sixteen kinds, all kinds of breakfast, small and cute.

This time, she frowned.

Kaoru Tai silently closed the box and put it back for him, not sad or happy: "I haven't repaid you since I recovered your gift, and I can't accept it again this time." ”

Ye Chi stared at her, the corners of his lips were still smiling, unaffected by the rejection, and the smile on his handsome face was as warm as Chunyang: "You don't have to be shy, I know everything." ”

Kaoru Tandai looked at him again in disbelief, wondering if he had eaten something wrong, "You...... Know what?"

Ye Chi smiled and said nothing, as if expecting her to say something, and at this time, Su Yu suddenly walked in, was stunned when he saw the two of them, and laughed: "Did I disturb you?"

"Nope. Yutai Xun said unshockedly, "Is there anything wrong with Su Tong's judgment?"

Su Yu stared at the smile on Ye Chi's face, frowned strangely, and said, "Oh, it's Le Er's master." His local connections in Qinzhou are not as good as Le Tong, and he found some foreign merchants to jointly say that Le Tong is a liar, and he doesn't know whether it's true or not. ”

When Ye Chi heard this, he said calmly: "What about Le Tong?"

"I'm already waiting in the second hall. It's funny to say that she has been in Lejia for 20 years, but she has no ability to prove who she is, and even her household registration is the original 'Letong'. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

Ye Chi responded, sighed slightly, and packed up something in front of the case. Kaoru Tandai walked over and asked, "What are you going to do?"

He shrugged his shoulders and said: "Actually, the situation of Lejia, anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on, but if you follow the rules, Letong will definitely be at a disadvantage." But I don't think she'll sit back like this, so I'll have to compromise my judgment. ”

Kaoru Yutai nodded, and probably guessed what the ending of Lejia was, and was about to go to the second hall with Ye Chi, but suddenly ushered in an uninvited guest.

The person who came was Master Tang, who had looked for them the day before yesterday, and at that time he also begged Ye Chi not to agree to Le Tong's request, in case she sold the shop completely. However, this is just a hand left by Le Tong, whether Ye Chi agrees or not, her plan will not be affected.

"Lord Ye. Master Tang saluted him respectfully, but his face looked a little bad, and the entourage behind him was still carrying a bookcase, "Can you take the liberty of asking, about Lejia...... How are you going to judge?"

Ye Chi didn't answer, but stared at him for a while, and suddenly said, "When Tang Lao came to me before, I thought you were just concerned about the situation of your competitors. Now it seems...... Is there some personal reason in it?"

After hearing this, Donald's eyes moved, and finally he stopped hiding it, put the bookcase on his entourage, and sighed: "Old Le was ...... before his death In fact, he left a suicide note. ”

***

The bookbox brought by Master Tang was empty, and there were always two letters, but whether it was the handwriting on it or the way it was sealed, it was indeed a unique habit of Lejia.

"What are you kidding, who doesn't know the grievances between the Le family and the Tang family, how could the eldest brother hand over the suicide note to you?" Le Longyang's face was terrifyingly pale, he thought that the worst deal was to share the family property equally with Le Tong, but now the Tang family will take out the suicide note, maybe the money will be given to outsiders.

Le Tong was also a little shocked, his originally calm face showed a little panic, stared straight at the letter in Ye Chi's hand, and said coldly: "Since Mr. Tang has a suicide note, why did he take it out now?"

Master Tang looked at her and said with a complicated expression: "Le Lao gave these two letters to the old man before his death, if the Le family doesn't have an accident, you don't have to take them out." I was going to hand it over to you when you got ahead, but when Le Er came back, I had a premonition that something was going to happen, and I decided to give it to you, but you were going to sell the shop. ”

Le Tong pointed at Le Longyang without changing his face: "As long as the shop is still there, I can buy them back from scratch, but if I lose in the hands of this person, there will be no chance." ”

"Since you have such a skill, why bother to hand it over to outsiders?" Old Man Tang frowned at her, "Don't you think the cost is too great?"

Le Tong closed his eyes, and his expression remained unchanged: "This is something left by my father, I won't watch it fall." ”

Ye Chi didn't make a sound, and silently opened the two letters in his hand, one was about Le Tong, and the other was about Le Longyang, the handprint needs to be compared, but the handwriting is indeed from Le Lao's hand, probably saying that all the shops belong to Le Tong, and Le Longyang can take away a thousand taels, and he has nothing to do with Le Jia from then on.

When Le Longyang was swept away, he didn't say it so absolutely, seeing that this meant that he was going to force him to make a note with Le Tong. Le Tong is smart and smart, and his self-esteem is also terrifyingly strong, otherwise he would not attack the shop without authorization, which is also the reason for Donald's hesitation.

When the family matter reached this point, Ye Chi felt a little helpless, put the letter aside, and said calmly: "These two letters need to be compared, once the official has an eyebrow, I will inform you." ”

***

The weather is getting cooler, and autumn is coming soon. Because Ye Chi was always very busy, Chu He couldn't make a knot, so he had to prepare to return to the dynasty in disgrace.

He has always been very worried about the poisoning of Yutai Kaoru, but he can't find anyone among the attendants who is not his. In fact, he was originally a loose official of the ministry, but he was dispensable, even if he wanted to pick it up, he couldn't find out everyone's details, and after thinking about it, he decided to ask Ye Chi for his guilt.

Chu He brought a piece of the best white jade he could pick out, but when he went to look for Ye Chi, he didn't see anyone. Xu is matter was dealt with in the morning, and the yamen was empty, and he happened to bump into Kaoru Tai.

"Is there something wrong with Lord Chu?"

Chu He looked around and asked, "Where is Lord Ye?"

"He's supposed to be in there to approve paperwork. Kaoru looked at the brocade box he was holding carefully, "What's the matter?"

"Oh...... Then I'll come back next time. ”

Kaoru Tantai looked at the back of him leaving, and roughly guessed that the thing was going to be given to Ye Chi, but the last time he wanted to bribe, he ate a closed door, which is why he was so cautious.

After Le Tong and the others left, Ye Chi never came out of the room; she was a little curious about how it was going, but when she entered the door, she didn't see anyone, she thought that Ye Chi didn't know when she left, she stretched out her head and looked, only to realize that he was lying on the innermost wooden bed, I don't know if he was asleep.

Because of a screen, Kaoru Tantai could only see his feet, and he closed the door lightly and went in, only to see Ye Chi leaning against the wooden bed with a book, but his eyes were closed, as if he had been asleep for a long time.

This is where he goes about his daily business, and like the rest of the room, there is a wooden bed for people to take a nap. He changed into his regular clothes, not the light color he was accustomed to, but an inky robe that was well-proportioned, with his forearms exposed as one hand half-grasped the book.

Unlike what she imagined, Ye Chi's arms were very strong, although she usually looked thin, but in fact, she was long and capable, which made her suddenly have a new understanding of men.

However, as she had guessed before, there were scars on his arms, deep and shallow old wounds.

Finally...... How did you come up with it?

Kaoru looked at him for a while, and after making sure he was asleep, she curiously reached out and pulled his sleeve up to see if there were any other injuries on his body.

Ye Chi was almost shaken open by the sound of his heartbeat.

Because he was so excited that he couldn't sleep the night before, after comparing Le Lao's suicide note in the afternoon, he lay on the wooden bed and read the book, and fell asleep unconsciously. He had always slept very lightly, so he woke up when Kaoru Tantai pushed the door, but saw her red dress through the screen, so he continued to pretend to sleep to see what she wanted to do.

was so shy that he didn't want to admit it, so he took off his clothes while he was asleep, but the progress was a little ...... No, no, since she's shy, shouldn't he get up and hug her......

"Are you pretending to be asleep?"

Kaoru Tantai's cold voice pulled his thoughts back, and Ye Chi opened his eyes suddenly, realizing that she had straightened his sleeves and stood on the edge of the couch looking straight at him.

He smiled mildly, "How can you tell?"

"You just burst out laughing. ”

“……”

Kaoru Tantai took a closer look at him, and sure enough, his face was red, so he asked with concern, "Are you sick?"

"......" Ye Chi shook his head silently.

"If you're sick, it's best to have a look. Kaoru Tantai stared at his face seriously, "Miss Le has gone to the capital to study medicine before, you can go to her." ”

Ye Chi looked up at her, sat up and straightened his robe, unable to figure out her thoughts.

Well...... It must be shy, after all, it's a girl, and she doesn't want to talk to him in person.

Thinking of this, Ye Chi smiled unconsciously and said, "That...... In a few days, it will be Tanabata, and it will be ...... Shall we go out and have a look?"

"Don't. Kaoru Tantai replied categorically, "I promised to accompany Ah Yao out." ”

"......" Ye Chi covered his chest, "That'...... Can you take me?"

Kaoru Tantai stared at him for a while, remembering that Haruka had said that he liked him very much, so he nodded slowly.

Sure enough, I'm still shy.

Ye Chi smiled happily, got up and sorted out the letters on the case, his eyes were like bright stars, golden, "It just so happens that the matter of Lejia has come to an end, let's go play together on the day of Qixi Festival." I have something to say to you, and so do you...... Do you have anything to say to me?"

Kaoru Tandai stared at him earnestly for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, walked up and put her hand on his forehead and probed it.
