Chapter 278: Two Watches in One
Ye Feng was taken away by the Criminal Department, and he was extremely lonely when he left!
His life has come to an end like this, even if his life has not come to an end, but what awaits him on the road behind him will only be deeper and deeper darkness, and there is no longer any hope for life.
Before leaving, Ye Feng glanced at Ye Nianchen again, but this glance was finally no longer as resentful and hateful as before, and this glance finally had a few different emotions.
seems to have a trace of regret, but unfortunately, don't talk about others, even Ye Feng himself can't understand what he regrets in his heart.
A glorious family that has been glorious for a hundred years has come to such a complete end, accompanied by the darkness and decay of the entire dynasty, and will never appear again.
The news swept the entire capital like a tide, but the ending of the Ye family seemed to have been predicted by the people of the world who talked about it all day long, and it didn't stir up too many waves.
Occasionally, a few words of emotion and regret are only the demise of this century-old family, and it has nothing to do with those people in the Ye family who are not worthy of people's sympathy.
More people let out a long breath, and the retribution deserved to be quite light, but there were really many people who scolded the Ye family's black conscience.
The noise outside did not reach Ye Nianchen in the slightest, she had done a lot of things in the past two days, and now many things had to be done by her.
Mrs. Ye, who had already become a living dead, was picked up by the third child of the Ye family, and since she lost her official position, the third and fourth families of the Ye family saved their lives, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.
When they came to pick up Mrs. Ye, they greeted Ye Nianfa in advance with unprecedented politeness. After obtaining consent, the person was picked up. The two families now plan to live together, and they sell one of the houses to support their lives together, but they are helpless compared to the original days, but they are helpless.
The properties under the name of the Ye family, in addition to those that have already been withdrawn and cannot be recovered, are only very ordinary, and because of the continuous turmoil before, they have already closed down and gone bankrupt, and they still owe a lot of debts.
The third child of the Ye family had to come forward and sell those few things to pay off the debt. In just two days. The so-called Ye family didn't even have an empty shell left, and it was completely defeated like this.
And all this has nothing to do with Ye Nianchen, she watched everything coldly. It is these people who bear the cause and effect that they deserve.
As for the ancestral home of the Ye family. Ye Nianchen did change his hand a few days ago and made a look. It was no longer recorded in her name. However, she is still the real owner of this house, and all the people in the house. Now they are all gathered in one place anxiously, waiting for their respective destinations.
Those subordinates of Xiao Chenxuan were exceptions, and they didn't need to worry about anything, because they were already the eldest lady's people early on.
"Miss, all the people in the house have arrived, please show me." After the steward finished counting the number of people, he respectfully told Ye Nianchen.
Those people in the house who had already signed the death deed, Ye Nianchen asked the third child of the Ye family to pick up the old lady and took them away at one time, she couldn't decide the final fate of those people, and she didn't want to interfere too much.
There are too many people and things in this world, and they are not all that Ye Nianchen can take care of, after all, she is not a great sage, and it is enough to be worthy of her conscience.
Ye Nianchen nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the rows of subordinates in front of him, and slowly spoke: "Everyone, you must be very clear about the affairs of the Ye family, and now there are no other people in this house who need to be served except me, so naturally there will be no need for so many people to serve in the future." ”
After a pause, seeing that everyone's mood was quite stable, Ye Nianchen knew that this was a foreshadowing made by Mrs. Zhou in advance, so he continued: "But please rest assured, no matter what the Ye family has become now, in short, whether you go or stay in the future, I, Ye Nianchen, will not treat everyone badly, and I will not let your hard work be in vain." After a while, Zhou's mother will announce who can continue to stay, and who will have to go to other places again in the future. Those who leave, in addition to this month's monthly money as usual, can also go to the German housekeeper to receive an additional subsidy, I hope everyone can forgive me. ”
"Miss, we all know that you are a good person, that is, you have always thought about us people, and your arrangements for all of us are already the best, whether we go or stay, we are grateful to you for taking care of you from the bottom of our hearts!" Someone subconsciously spoke, and it was very sincere to hear it.
"Yes, Miss, thank you for your attention, thank you!"
Many people followed suit, and such a scene of dispersion is quite rare.
In today's current situation, they are also very clear in their hearts, it is a sure thing to reduce the number of people, there is nothing to say, and the people who leave can not only pay the monthly money for this month, but also receive an additional subsidy, which is really very good for them.
Things went very well, and after about half an hour, the dismissed personnel received very satisfactory money and thanked each other and left.
And the few remaining people were left behind to continue working in this house, and their wages naturally rose compared to before, and they were all elated, and they tried their best to be tight.
The house soon returned to normal, and everyone went about their duties, and they didn't care about the guards who had not diminished.
The plaque at the gate of the Ye family has been removed, and the Ye Mansion has long been a thing of the past, and now it doesn't matter what this house is called. Ye Nianchen didn't even let people make a piece again, it was so empty and defenseless.
By the time everything seemed to have come to an end, several days had passed peacefully, and it seemed that tomorrow would be the last limit of the ten-day period agreed between the emperor and the crown prince.
Ye Nianchen originally thought that after he made such a big move, the emperor would not let the prince leave her scourge for so many days as promised.
But now, I don't know if she underestimated the emperor's patience or underestimated the ability of the crown prince Li Zhi.
In a word. It's really important for her to be able to get down these days.
solved all kinds of trivial matters of the Ye family, so that she would no longer have other places to be distracted in the next last game, she just had to go all out, no matter what the result was, she would not be too regretful.
The secret letter to his uncle Liu Zitong had been sent a few days ago, and Ye Nianchen had explained everything on the letter, and he had already made all kinds of possible plans.
And now. All she did was wait. Waiting for tomorrow.
Judging from the current situation, tomorrow is the deadline, so the emperor will definitely not be silent anymore, and will definitely take action.
Equally. The second prince and the Jiang family, who have been quiet for too long, are also the same!
Ye Nianchen can imagine it. All the grudges. All will erupt and end tomorrow.
As for how the most science ends, Ye Nianchen doesn't care too much about it now, and everything she can do has been done. It was not up to her to decide what providence would be.
"Miss, have a cup of tea." Zhi'er presented a cup of warm cups to Ye Nianchen, signaling her to stop reading and rest for a while.
The weather is getting colder and colder, Zhi'er has just gone to the yard, and when she comes back, she is covered with cold, and the house is so warm that even the cold on her body is smoking into the heat.
Today afternoon, Ye Nianchen didn't go anywhere, just sat in the room and read. Zhi'er didn't know what was good in that book that could make her young lady sit for so long.
Hearing Zhi'er's words, Ye Nianchen really put down the book in his hand, took the tea and drank it slowly.
After drinking for a while, she asked aloud, "Zhi'er, did you have a letter for me today?" ”
"Miss, there is no letter from you today." Seeing Ye Nianchen take the initiative to ask, Zhi'er thought for a while and said, "Miss, what letter are you waiting for?" Why don't you tell me and I'll help you ask? ”
"No, it's fine." Seeing this, Ye Nianchen shook his head slightly, and didn't ask anything further.
Although he didn't ask again, the doubts and uneasiness in Ye Nianchen's heart gradually spread.
According to the letter he received a few days ago, Gu Mingyi arrived in the capital early this morning, and this is still the most conservative estimate, so there should be no problems.
But until this afternoon, seeing that it was almost dark after a while, he never got any news from Gu Mingyi.
Ye Nianchen was a little worried, and he didn't know if something happened on Gu Mingyi's road that delayed the trip, or because of some other reason. If the letter is only delayed because of something temporary, it will be fine, anyway, these things in the capital tomorrow can only be natural, and the impact of Gu Mingyi coming back in time will not be too great.
But what if something happens on the road?
Sometimes, Ye Nianchen himself has to admit that after some people really care, their thoughts and thoughts will become different uncontrollably.
She obviously knew that with Gu Mingyi's ability, nothing should happen, but now that she couldn't get the news that someone had arrived smoothly, the whole person became a little restless.
Seeing this, Zhi'er didn't ask much, but looking at her young lady's rare expression, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and couldn't help laughing for a while.
"Miss, are you thinking about Gu Gongzi?" The little girl's mouth is not so taboo, and she naturally blurts out when she thinks of it.
It has been a while since this Gu Gongzi left Beijing last time, which is nothing for them, but for the young lady, of course, it seems that he has been away for a long time.
Although Zhi'er has never had a favorite person now, she still knows about this idea of a lover not seeing her for a day as if she were every other autumn.
"Yes, counting the hour, he should return to the capital early this morning at the latest." This time, Ye Nianchen didn't avoid anything, but nodded slightly, took the initiative to respond to Zhi'er's question, and said: "The secret letter I received a few days ago is his." ”
"Oh, I see, I said how Miss Haotian was so happy after holding the letter, I don't know what the good thing is." Zhi'er smiled at the moment: "Sure enough, it was Gu Gongzi who was coming back, no wonder Miss was so happy!" ”
After that, Zhi'er's brain turned very fast, and she hurriedly comforted: "Miss, don't worry, Gu Gongzi is estimated to have encountered something on the road that delayed him, and he will have a letter later." ”
Zhi'er naturally didn't think much about it, in her opinion, Gu Mingyi was very capable, of course there could be no problems. At most, it is estimated that it is not delayed by his master for some more hours, and the others will naturally not have anything.
Hearing Zhi'er's words, Ye Nianchen also nodded subconsciously.
"Maybe I'm too careful, so you can let the shadow go and investigate, and report back as soon as there is news." Ye Nianchen was still a little uneasy, so after thinking about it, he would let the shadow go and see the situation.
Seeing this, Zhi'er responded to the call, and quickly retreated to find the shadow.
Night came very quickly, and it didn't take much time for the house to be lit up.
Mrs. Zhou prepared dinner, and after Ye Nianchen used it, she quickly asked people to clean it up, and then served new tea, and added some new charcoal to the charcoal fire in the house, making the whole house more warm.
Zhi'er came back, and at the same time brought the news of the shadow inquiry, saying that someone had been sent to check, Gu Mingyi had not yet arrived in the capital, and there was no new news.
It seems that there should be something on the road that has been delayed.
The shadow asked for instructions, whether to continue to investigate farther outside the capital, Ye Nianchen thought about it, and finally said forget it.
Sometimes, no news is not necessarily bad news, so it is better to wait with peace of mind.
This night, Ye Nianchen slept a little badly, and he always had some fragmentary dreams in a daze, one moment it was Gu Mingyi's face, and the other time it was Li Zhi's face......
When I woke up in the morning, there was an indescribable bleak atmosphere in the air.
It snowed all night last night, and when I opened the window, I saw that it was white everywhere, and the thickness of the ground was already deep.
The snow on the path at the entrance has been swept away by the descendants, and it stretches out in a zigzag way, which looks very lively and interesting.
Ye Nianchen's appetite was not very good, but he still tried his best to eat more, cleaned up a little after breakfast, and didn't pay attention to anything else, just waited there quietly.
Less than half an hour later, there was a knock at the door.
"Miss, someone is in the palace, please hurry up and go out to receive the order!" Mrs. Zhou pushed the door in, looking a little nervous.
Someone came to the palace early in the morning to deliver the decree, no one knew what it was for, and the Ye family had become like this, Ye Nianchen was suddenly summoned into the palace with this identity, and he didn't know if it was good or not.
"Miss, it's really here!" Zhi'er was calm and nervous, faintly excited.
"Let's go, enter the palace!" Ye Nianchen was even more calm and calm, and slowly stood up and walked out. (To be continued.) )
