No matter who you are, you will always be happy to see the silver that you have given away for free. After Chu Hansheng and Lu Zhiyao were polite, they put away the silver. However, the impression of Lu Zhiyao in my heart has also changed slightly.

Inside the house, Lu Yuanzheng listened to Ye Lianrong say lightly, and when she wanted to borrow some silver, a fierce color appeared between Lu Yuanzheng's eyebrows.

"How much?" Lu Yuanzheng asked in a low voice.

Ye Lianrong held her right hand and nervously scratched her palm with her fingernails. Lu Yuanzheng's inquiry made Ye Lianrong's heart rise with hope. She smiled flatteringly, and said the number of "ten thousand taels" in a hurry, which made Lu Yuanzheng's face suddenly change when he was sitting in the chair.

"Ten thousand?" Lu Yuanzheng frowned, he didn't expect Ye Lianrong to ask for so much as soon as she opened her mouth. "What are you going to do?"

Ye Lianrong had long known that Lu Dao Lu Yuanzheng would ask for the reason, so she also thought of a lot of excuses before coming. Ye Lianrong walked behind Lu Yuanzheng, put her hands on Lu Yuanzheng's shoulders and gently rubbed them. It's a pity that her flattery didn't make Lu Yuanzheng soften.

"Master, I wouldn't have come to beg you if it wasn't a last resort. I'll tell you the truth, this money is not for me, but for my eldest brother. ”

"Why does he use so much?!" Ye Lianrong didn't mention Ye Shengnan, but when Ye Shengnan was mentioned, Lu Yuanzheng was even more unhappy. Who is Ye Shengnan, Lu Yuanzheng knows very well in his heart. Ye Shengnan, who is idle on weekdays, can still serve in the Ministry of Officials now because of Ye Zhihua and the prince. If the money reaches him, it will basically be like not being able to get it back.

Lu Yuanzheng's suddenly amplified voice made Ye Lianrong, who was standing behind him, tremble. Courageous, Ye Lianrong continued to say to Lu Yuanzheng: "He partnered with others to do business and lost money, and he owed money to others. He really can't do anything about this, otherwise he wouldn't have found me. ”

It stands to reason that this is the first time that Ye Lianrong has asked for money from herself, and Lu Yuanzheng should not refuse to give it. But the number was too large, and Ye Shengnan was involved, so Lu Yuanzheng really didn't want to give it to them. Lu Yuanzheng didn't want to hear Ye Lianrong say any more reasons, so he raised his hand to stop her from wanting to speak. "Let me think about it, you can go back first."

Ye Lianrong saw that there was hope, and immediately nodded and walked out of the study with a smile. Lu Yuanzheng looked at Ye Lianrong's back and pondered for a long time before he stood up and walked out of the room with a blue face.

Lu Yuanzheng originally thought that the house was a little stuffy, so he came back to breathe, and walked slowly in the house alone, Lu Yuanzheng walked forward with his head down.

"Daddy."

A familiar voice sounded, and Lu Yuanzheng looked up. Waiting for Lu Zhiyao to walk in front of him, Lu Yuanzheng nodded slightly.

"Dad, why don't you look good? Is it unwell? "It's no coincidence that Lu Zhiyao appeared here, she has been hiding in the shadows, and she followed Lu Yuanzheng after seeing him go out. Knowing that Lu Yuanzheng was in a bad mood because of something in Lu, Lu Zhiyao asked Lu Yuanzheng with concern, which made Lu Yuanzheng feel uncomfortable, and finally had a reason to alleviate it.

"Nothing, don't worry." Lu Yuanzheng raised his hand and patted Lu Zhiyao's head and asked, "Are you free?" Walk with your dad? ”

"My daughter has a lot of time!" Lu Zhiyao took Lu Yuanzheng's arm and stayed by his side. After hearing Lu Yuanzheng knock on the side and ask about her and Lin Yinan, Lu Zhiyao smiled shyly and whispered: "Dad, what do you tell your daughter to say about this." If you are really in such a hurry, then let's go and see my sister, the wedding date of my sister and the Seventh Prince is getting closer and closer, and I have already stepped into the royal family, which is different from my daughter. ”

"Hey, don't you say that Qing'er is okay, as soon as you mention her......" Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lu Zhiyao with a worried face, and hesitated to say what worries in his heart. The Seventh Prince is in a high position, and your sister is not as good as before, I'm really afraid. ”

"Dad, even if my sister is not as beautiful as before, but I think the Seventh Prince still doesn't dare to do anything to his sister, after all, she is Daddy's daughter." Lu Zhiyao's flattery of the landing expedition without a trace made Lu Yuanzheng feel comfortable when he heard it. "Besides, Erniang's side is not an ordinary family. My sister has such a father, who can dare to bully her? ”

"I hope so." Lu Yuanzheng didn't want to say much about Ye Lianrong and Lu Zhiqing, Lu Zhiyao saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

Lu Zhiyao gradually slowed down, looking sideways at Lu Yuanzheng's gloomy face, Lu Zhiyao thought twice, and said: "Dad, there is something I have always held in my heart and dare not say it, but now I am really uncomfortable, so I want to tell my father." ”

"Oh? Tell me what's going on. Lu Yuanzheng came to be interested, and took Lu Zhiyao to the garden and sat down.

"Dad, my mother has been dead for so long, have you ever thought of her all these years?"

Lu Zhiyao talked about Yang Xinyuan without any warning, which made Lu Yuanzheng's face, which was just a little better, darken again. "That's what you're talking about?"

"Dad, my mother died shortly after I was born, and I don't even remember what she looked like. Every day when I see my sister and Erniang together, I think about how good it would be if my mother hadn't died. The more Lu Zhiyao spoke, the lower his voice became, and tears loomed in his eyes, making Lu Yuanzheng's heart sink in. Everyone is saying that my mother will die because of me. But Dad, after so many years, do you still feel the same way? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Yuanzheng heard some squints, his eyes twitched, he looked at Lu Zhiyao intently, and motioned for her to finish speaking.

"My mother was the eldest lady back then, and after giving birth to me, my father must have sent a lot of maids to serve me. Haven't you ever doubted her death? ”

"Did you hear something?" How could Lu Zhiyao say these words? Lu Yuanzheng remembered the scene when Yang Xinyuan died, and his heart was still aching.

"I'm not going to say anything nonsense until I have any evidence. Dad, wait two days and my daughter will give you the answer. ”

Lu Zhiyao finished halfway through the words, Lu Yuanzheng didn't know what she was going to say later, and he was very uncomfortable. His gaze swept over Lu Zhiyao's body for a while, Lu Yuanzheng thought about it, and his gaze gradually became sharp.

"You don't suspect your second mother, do you?" Lu Yuanzheng asked in a cold voice, looking at Lu Zhiyao's silent appearance, he was a little more sure of his guess. With a little displeasure, Lu Yuanzheng stood up and said, "Although your second mother doesn't treat you well on weekdays, you can't use this kind of thing to wronged her!" ”

"Dad, whether you are wronged or not, your daughter will prove it to you with facts." Lu Zhiyao faced the somewhat angry Lu Yuanzheng and was not afraid. She stood motionless and watched the landing expedition, her words revealing confidence. "No matter how bad Erniang is, she is also my elder and a member of our Lu family, I will not suspect her for no reason, let alone wronged her, even if I am wronged, if there is no evidence, my father will not believe it, right?"

"It's good to know the way!" Lu Yuanzheng snorted coldly and waved his sleeves away, Lu Zhiyao saw that he had annoyed Lu Yuanzheng, so he didn't catch up with each other.

Lu Yuanzheng kept thinking about Lu Zhiyao's words, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Ye Lianrong's relationship with Yang Xinyuan back then was like fire and water, and Lu Zhiyao wouldn't dare to say those words to himself boldly if he hadn't discovered anything. But if it's really as Lu Zhiyao said, then ......

The moonlight is cool and the air is slightly cool. In the barren and populated cemetery, the gloomy wind blew through, making the officers and soldiers who were hiding here and were responsible for monitoring Yang Xinyuan's grave muttering dissatisfiedly.

"What nonsense, dare to say one more word, be careful that I will clean you up!" Lan Ruoyan glanced at the men and said in a low voice: "Give me some energy, it's late at night, and it's time for the rats to go out." ”

Several people waited in the cold wind for more than an hour, and seeing that they were all starting to get sleepy and couldn't stand it anymore, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the distance.

The change of things made Lan Ruoya's eyes light up, it seems that Lu Zhiyao really guessed correctly!

"Hurry up! Rub what! Ye Shengnan kicked the buttocks of the person in front of him and scolded: "Go back to sleep after finishing your work!" ”

"I said, young master, what are we doing here in the middle of the night? This place is eerie, and I am scary to look at. The kicked man rubbed his buttocks with a lantern in one hand and the other, and turned back to Ye Shengnan and said.

"Less!" Ye Shengnan looked around for Yang Xinyuan's grave, and after finding it, he stood aside and commanded a few people to start digging the grave. Although those people were reluctant in their hearts, they didn't dare to resist Ye Shengnan. I can only accompany the owner of this tomb in my heart, and then follow Ye Shengnan's instructions.

After working for a while, several people finally saw the coffin. Ye Shengnan approached with a lantern, and after the coffin lid was opened, Ye Shengnan endured the discomfort in his abdomen with the stench, squinting at Yang Xinyuan's bones.

Just as Ye Lianrong was worried, Ye Shengnan carefully observed for a while, and found that something was wrong with Yang Xinyuan's bones. Spit on the ground, Ye Shengnan waved his hand and said to those minions: "Go, dig up the grave next to me too!" ”

"Master, are you still here?!" Everyone looked at each other, this grave digging is disrespectful to the dead, if the owners of these two tombs are angered, and the time comes to them to take revenge, what will they do?

"Let you go! Where is so much nonsense! ”

Ye Shengnan was angry, and several people didn't dare to speak out anymore. muttered to themselves begging the Bodhisattva to worship the Buddha, and when they dug up the grave next to them, they heard Ye Shengnan's voice again.

"Give me the bones in these two coffins, and then go back to my house to get the money!"

As soon as they heard that there was money to take, several people came to work again. But just as they were about to make a move, they suddenly heard a strange sound.
