Chapter 250: The String Doll
"Miss, then Ye Shilan is here again." Xie Yu said helplessly. Since the last time she came and was rejected by the young lady, she has come several times in a row.
"I'm patient." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"You've been hiding from her for more than ten days, and you're still missing?" Ye Xici felt a little funny. When Ye Shilan didn't come, she was always calculating to attract Ye Shilan, this person really came, but she hid and disappeared several times.
"Nope." Fang Xiaoyu did not hesitate and said, "If she wants to see me, I have to see her, I'm not used to her weird problem." lest she think that I want to fool her. ”
"There are a few new big fish in the flower platform today, and I heard that they were still alive when they came. It just so happens that their most famous is Hongluan Spring Fish Stew, do you want to try it? Ye Xici smiled and seduced Fang Xiaoyu with delicious food, and instantly hooked the other party.
"Go, go, of course. It's not easy to eat fresh live fish in this capital, and it's impossible not to taste it. Fang Xiaoyu nodded wildly, and the image of a pot of fish was already sketched in her mind beckoning to her.
The two cleaned up and left hand in hand, leaving Ye Shilan's heart more and more anxious and irritable waiting outside the cool courtyard. But every time she never saw Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici go out, she thought that they had been hiding in the courtyard and refused to see her, who knew that Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici had already left the backyard.
A pot of fish is very fresh, it is rare that the weather is good, Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici also walked around the city, until the sky was getting dark, and the two of them returned home.
As soon as they stepped into the mansion gate, they met King An, who was about to go out. Su Hongsu was beside him, standing behind him obediently.
Wang An originally suspected that Li Suqing's matter might be related to Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici, but now he saw that the two of them were talking and laughing and returning late. Naturally, he didn't like it in his heart, and snorted coldly: "If something happened in the house, you are relieved." Instead of investigating the murderer to prove his innocence, he went out every day to have fun! ”
"I can't compare to my father's beauty. If her father cares about her, why not stay and watch over her. It can't be that she acted on her own in order to keep her father's heart, but don't let your father cool the beauty's little liver and hurt the heart of your beloved son. In the end, he became a loner. Ye Xiqi is not used to King An's stinky problem, every time he sees him, it seems that he owes him a lot of money, and what he does is not right. You can't do anything. Anyway, it's not pleasing to the eye, and he doesn't point to his praise to live, and silence will only make him inch by inch.
At this time, if you say a few words to him, it is best to say that he has no power to fight back. He'd just throw up his sleeves and leave. Never again bring shame upon yourself.
"You are also sharp-tongued, don't let this king find out that you did it, otherwise don't blame this king for not thinking about the relationship between father and son!" King An hated Ye Xici's face as soon as he saw it, but this person he hated was really against him everywhere recently.
In the past, when I saw him, I just avoided him from afar, and then I didn't speak, but now every time I see him, he has to say a few words about what he says, and he is really angry with him!
"Don't bother your father. It is as if the father and the king had read the love of father and son before. Ye Xici rolled his eyes widely, and he didn't wait for King An to say anything. took Fang Xiaoyu's hand and went back to the courtyard.
Today may be a good day to meet guests, just after saying goodbye to King An, I immediately saw another person I didn't really want to see.
Ye Shilan blocked in front of the courtyard gate, staring at Fang Xiaoyu so directly, her expression was loveless, thinking that she was tortured by the demon barrier in her heart day and night, and everyone looked a little haggard.
"Get out of the way." Fang Xiaoyu secretly laughed, it seemed that Ye Shilan really couldn't wait, so she came to her just one day after the crime.
In the past few days, she deliberately avoided and didn't see her, presumably she was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot, she couldn't sleep if she couldn't eat well, and the dark circles under her eyes came out and she didn't realize it.
"I won't let it!" Ye Shilan's words landed soundly, and she did not hesitate.
She finally blocked Fang Xiaoyu, this time she definitely had to get the answer she wanted, otherwise she would never leave.
"Get out of the way." Fang Xiaoyu's tone was tepid, and Ye Shilan, who looked expressionless, was a little stunned.
"If you don't let it, you won't let it!" Ye Shilan tried her best not to be overwhelmed by Fang Xiaoyu's momentum, she stood in place, her heart was pounding, and she never took half a step back: "I only take up your time for a few teas, it won't be too long." ”
"You've been waiting since morning?" Fang Xiaoyu suddenly asked with a smile.
"Yes." Ye Shilan nodded and continued: "I know that you have been avoiding me and not seeing me. I originally asked people to watch your yard, and as soon as you came out, they asked them to call me, but I haven't seen you for more than ten days, and today I asked the porter to know that you have been out almost every day for more than ten days, so today I simply guarded the gate of your courtyard in person, and you will always come back. ”
"Your mother's injury has nothing to do with me, and I have already asked Doctor Shen to save your mother's life, so what's the use of you coming to me? It is imperative that you take good care of your mother, and hope that she will wake up as soon as possible, so that you can know who hurt her. You're just wasting your time coming to me. Fang Xiaoyu was a little impatient, she couldn't let Ye Shilan think that she actually wanted her to come to her, otherwise the other party would definitely suspect her motives.
She has been avoiding her for more than ten days, just to make the other party feel that she doesn't want to see her, and the more so, when her words come out, the less likely she is to be suspected by the other party.
If she had met with Ye Shilan on the same day, with the hostile position that she and Ye Shilan should have, she would have been a little too anxious. Ye Shilan is a person who is sometimes stupid and sad, and sometimes she suddenly becomes smart, she doesn't want to leave a flaw.
"I have something to ask you. But if you do not see me, I will stand by the gate of your court every day until you will see me. Ye Shilan bit her lip stubbornly, begging for a smile like this, but she just wanted to find out the truth, she couldn't care about any dignity or face.
The guess in her heart was too terrible, but it haunted her all the time and made her unable to feel at ease, she needed an answer, no matter which door this answer eventually led to, but even if it was death, she wanted to die clearly.
"Threaten me?" Fang Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows and smiled, and then said coldly: "This girl doesn't eat this set." "I'm leaving.
Ye Shilan was shocked. She knew that Fang Xiaoyu was strong in martial arts, and if she jumped directly into the courtyard gate, she wouldn't be able to stop her at all. After waiting for more than ten days, she finally saw Fang Xiaoyu. She really didn't want to miss this opportunity again. So she hurriedly grabbed Fang Xiaoyu's sleeve, and her eyes became more and more determined: "I'm not threatening you." I'm begging you. I have some things I want to know anyway, and I need you to answer me personally. ”
Fang Xiaoyu suddenly paused, turned to look at Ye Shilan for a long time and did not speak. Ye Shilan also stubbornly pulled Fang Xiaoyu's sleeve and refused to let go.
The atmosphere became tense for a while, Ye Xici only stood behind him, watching the confrontation between the two women, watching Fang Xiaoyu play with Ye Shilan from the beginning.
Obviously, she hoped that Ye Shilan would come to her. Although the truth of the matter may not be far from what they speculated or even wanted to instill in Ye Shilan, she held Ye Shilan's mind in her hands step by step and guided Ye Shilan to make her current choice.
He can imagine. When Ye Shilan really talked to Fang Xiaoyu, what she was going to do, what to say, and how to think. I'm afraid it's already under the control of laughter.
Wire doll.
The words he could imagine at the moment were the most suitable to describe Ye Shilan. It's this kind of puppet that is manipulated by a singer on the stage.
Humble and pitiful.
"Okay, I'll give you time. Just to make a long story short, leave when you're done, and don't bother me again in the future. I won't leave you to eat. Fang Xiaoyu seemed to sigh helplessly, in Ye Shilan's opinion, this was Fang Xiaoyu's compromise. It's a pity that she didn't expect it from the beginning, everything was predestined from the beginning. Including her behavior, her language. Including her ending.
"Xici, you go in first. I'll talk to her and I'll be back in a moment. Fang Xiaoyu turned to look at Ye Xici, and immediately changed to a smiling face, and the smugness that flashed in his eyes was fleeting, because he was facing away from Ye Shilan, Ye Shilan couldn't see it at all.
"Be careful, I'll wait for you to eat." Ye Xici touched Fang Xiaoyu's head, her eyes were full of spoiling, Ye Shilan, who was looking at it, subconsciously looked away, feeling that the cheap big brother in front of her was extremely strange compared to before.
His change, his no longer compromise, seems to have been since he recognized Fang Xiaoyu. Originally, the whole person exuded a cold and dark aura, but now it has turned into softness and majesty.
Ye Shilan couldn't help but peek at Fang Xiaoyu, thinking in her heart that this Fang Xiaoyu was really a magical person. Ever since those people met her, everyone has been making changes.
Ye Xi's words became soft, but he no longer blindly compromised, the originally gloomy person is now a little afraid to look at him directly.
Ye Xin's soft self-confidence. originally looked ordinary and inferior, but now he is cheerful. And because of Fang Xiaoyu, she also got the attention of the emperor, and many princesses in the palace were envious of Ye Xinrou.
Even the crown prince was supported by Fang Xiaoyu's 500,000 army behind Fang Xiaoyu. And because of her identity as a 'Buddha girl', she invisibly added a lot of bargaining chips for the prince in front of the emperor.
Only the second prince had eight lifetimes of bad luck after encountering the laughter above, and everything that was originally going well became no longer smooth, and his good reputation for operating outside was almost dissipated at one time.
She thought that if it weren't for the fact that they were hostile, she would be willing to be friends with someone like Fang Xiaoyu who could bring good changes to the people around her. It's a pity that she is Li Suqing's daughter, and the other party is married to Ye Xici.
They became enemies before they even saw each other.
It was meant to be.
Ye Shilan followed Fang Xiaoyu to the living room silently. She sat down crampedly, and she didn't dare to look at Fang Xiaoyu's expression at the moment.
Xie Yu made a pot of hot tea for the two of them, poured it for the two of them, and the people left, leaving only Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Shilan in the entire living room, as well as the sound of breathing and heartbeat that could be heard when the needle dropped.
"You have to see me, but you don't speak at the moment, are you going to sit here and drink tea until dawn?" Fang Xiaoyu took a sip of tea, feeling that his whole body was warm.
"What you said that day, but it was true?" Ye Shilan broke her nails vigorously, biting her lip with her teeth, and her head was so low that she was almost buried in her chest.
"What day?" Fang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have to say a lot of things every day, your question is so clueless, how do you tell me to answer?" ”
"That's it...... It's that day......" Ye Shilan had a voice in her heart that prevented her from continuing to ask, she always had a feeling that once she asked, the truth waiting for her would never be pleasant.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, I don't want to hear you waste your time here." Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand a little bored, and continued: "You come to me, I can more or less guess what you mean." There are some things I can think of, and you may not be able to. That man thought he had done it seamlessly, but there were loopholes everywhere, and you must have seen the scene and should have some doubts in your heart. ”
"Do you think he did it?" Ye Shilan's heart was smashed with a hammer.
Originally, she and Fang Xiaoyu were enemies, and she shouldn't believe the enemy's words, not only that, but she should listen to the truth that the enemy said. However, in the detailed investigation she has done in the past few days, every suspicion points to the same person. She really felt like she was about to collapse.
"So who else do you think it will be? Su Hongxi? She doesn't look like a person with that much strength, and wouldn't she be too conspicuous if she appeared in your mother's yard? How can there be time to calmly set up the scene? And if she did it, how could your mother not have the slightest defense and resistance? Or do you suspect that it was me and Xici who did it? is still the same sentence, if I do it, your mother will never have the possibility of survival. As long as the traces of the scene are handled cleanly, no one can find evidence that I did it. Fang Xiaoyu sneered and continued: "But the scene where your mother was stabbed is so messy and full of loopholes, if you suspect that I and Xici did it, you are doubting my means." ”
Ye Shilan was silent.
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Ye Shilan a few times, and then said with a smile: "You came to me today, which proves that the murderer you suspect in your heart is actually not me, nor Xici, but the one you don't want to suspect the most, right?" ”
"Outside the main hall of my mother's courtyard that day, I heard everything you and Ye Xici said. You speculated on all the suspicions at the scene, about the broken door, the blood stains outside the door, the table inside the door, and the wounds on my mother's body, all of which I hid behind a tree and heard clearly. Ye Shilan's voice was a little tired.
"So you didn't leave that day." Fang Xiaoyu pretended not to know.
"As he tried his best to pretend to be sad and wipe his tears to accuse you, I remembered what you said in my mother's house, and for some reason I felt a little sick to see his appearance. I ran out and vomited for a long time, and then I stayed in the yard to cool down, but I heard your speculation about the murder scene. ”
Ye Shilan looked like she was about to cry, and said: "I hope what you said is wrong, I hope you found out about my existence and deliberately said it to mislead me, I went to the scene afterwards to see it, every suspicion is very consistent with what you said, and I also found a few things." (To be continued.) )
