Chapter 183: Accomplice
Ye Tingyao stacked the cages one by one and put them on the stove, and she was amused when she thought of the scene when Lu Tianjing ran into the kitchen first.
Lu Tianjing solemnly told her her identity, but she only sighed.
The tone was unremarkable, as if a man was hearing the sun rise in the east.
Lu Tianjing was directly depressed by Ye Tingyao's attitude, and he even wondered if Xiancai had said the wrong identity, he should have said that he was the fifth prince today, not a pawn of a peddler.
Ye Tingyao didn't take him seriously, he was only busy working on the stove, Lu Tianjing left helplessly, but fortunately, he came to Yingfu Building today and could taste Mo Yao's cooking skills.
Time flies, another month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Tingyao finally knows the reason why Lu Tianqi left Beijing, and he doesn't want the heinous Prince Jing to escape from prison.
"Yaoyao, the prince will return to Beijing in a few days." Ye Chen looked at Ye Tingyao with complicated eyes, and the brother and sister sat in the courtyard to enjoy chrysanthemums and drink tea.
The breeze was cold, Ye Tingyao had already put on a small coat, and her slender fingers gently rubbed the lotus vine patterns floating on the tea bowl.
"Come back, come back, it's all about us, we've been out for two months, and we haven't caught the thief yet." Ye Tingyao pursed his lips, his mouth was disdainful, but there was a trace of reluctance in his eyes, Yan Tuo received the news last night, saying that Lu Tianqi was injured again.
Ye Tingyao didn't want to pay attention to it, but she felt very uncomfortable, she couldn't sleep because of this yesterday, and then she was helpless, she got up and counted the silver ticket back and forth eight times
"Sister"
Ye Tingyao, who was immersed in thoughts, was startled by Ye Ruyi's sharp voice. Ye Ruyi hadn't even turned around the small flower garden to reach the courtyard. Why did you scream?
Ye Ruyi threw a dress to the ground when she approached.
Ye Tingyao frowned slightly, this dress is newly made, after the change of season. Under her management, the four siblings added three new robes.
"Sister, those subordinates bullied me, how can I wear a skirt of this color, give me money, I will go to the East Market to buy a new one." Ye Ruyi stretched out her hand and muttered loudly.
"There's something wrong with this color." Ye Tingyao picked up the autumn-colored dress and patted the grass clippings on it. is very plain color, Ye Tingyao thinks that Ye Ruyi is popular every day, very vulgar.
Ye Chen stepped forward and took the dress from Ye Tingyao's hand. looked at Ye Ruyi coldly, "Don't wear it"
Ye Ruyi nodded angrily, and Ye Chen casually threw the dress to the maid standing aside, "I've rewarded you." If it doesn't fit, it can be twisted to make a handkerchief. As for Ru Yi, hasn't this month's monthly money already been paid, and she wants to buy a new one and use her own monthly money. ”
Ye Ruyi almost jumped up, "I didn't have enough money in those months"
Ye Chen was about to reprimand Ye Ruyi, but was stopped by Ye Tingyao.
Ye Tingyao said impatiently, "Go to the account and get a hundred taels of silver, don't make any noise." Go down. After that, Ye Tingyao rubbed her forehead, she hadn't slept well yesterday. Ye Ruyi is babbling here, her head is about to explode.
Ye Ruyi turned her head and ran away when she heard that she had money, Ye Chen smiled bitterly, "Originally, you said that I wasted the money I gave Ye Ruyi, but now Ye Ruyi has no use value, but you are still willing to give charity." ”
Ye Tingyao grinned, "Anyway, it's not bad for money now, it's clean." ”
The business of Yingfu Building is getting better and better, this month Ye Tingyao has received six thousand taels of silver, and the restaurant has invited a few chefs, Ye Tingyao is also more relaxed.
As soon as Ye Ruyi ran back to Fangyuan Pavilion, she was summoned to Yujin Garden by the servant sent by the Cao family.
Cao Shi glared at Ye Ruyi, "You went to find Ye Tingyao again to ask for money."
The Cao family is still veiled, and Ye Linde has not come to Yujin Yuan to see her for nearly ten days.
Ye Ruyi looked at the Cao family with resentment, if it weren't for the Cao family's loss of power, how could she fall to the point of begging for money from the two brothers and sisters, and she was embarrassed to murder her.
Ye Ruyi pouted and said, "I don't have the money to buy a dress." ”
Cao Shi snorted coldly and threw a silver ticket to Ye Ruyi, "Don't whisper in front of that pair of sluts anymore." ”
Ye Ruyi took the silver ticket suspiciously, and her eyes lit up when she saw the numbers on it, and it was a full thousand taels of silver, "Mother, it turns out that you still have silver coins hidden on you, why didn't you give it to me earlier." ”
Cao's face was very helpless to Ye Ruyi's face of calling her mother when she saw money, "Don't be happy too early, you save some flowers these days, and when that pair of sluts die, you can sit back and relax." ”
Cao's teeth clenched tightly when he read the word death, and his gloomy tone made Ye Ruyi shudder.
The 1,000 taels of silver given to Ye Ruyi did not come from the Rong family's dowry, but was given to her by another person.
Last night, when Cao opened her eyes and found Prince Jing standing at the head of her bed, she almost fainted with fright, she thought that Prince Jing was going to kill her to take revenge, after all, it was Lu Tianqi and Ye Linde who joined forces to arrest Prince Jing and other thieves.
I didn't want Prince Jing to kill her, but instead threw a handful of silver tickets in front of her, of course, the silver tickets could not be given in vain, and the task given to her by Prince Jing was really in line with her heart.
Prince Jing asked her to find a way to get the Ye Tingyao brothers and sisters to the western suburbs.
The reason and purpose Cao didn't dare to ask, but Prince Jing's eyes were full of hideous and ruthless light, and Cao understood that as long as the brother and sister fell into the hands of Prince Jing, they would be more and less lucky, so could she not be happy.
After taking the money, Ye Ruyi's attitude was much better when she stayed by Cao's side, her mouth was sweet, and she was willing to pour tea for Cao's and rub her shoulders.
Hearing the words of the outer courtyard that Ye Linde went down to the palace and returned to the house, the Cao family immediately stood up and said to Ye Ruyi, "I have something to find your father." ”
Ye Ruyi wanted to go with her, but it can be seen that Cao's eyes are strange, so she decided to go back to the room by herself and took a large amount of money, she wants to think about what to buy in the East Market tomorrow.
Cao went to Ye Linde's study and respectfully blessed Ye Linde, although Ye Linde was impatient to see Cao, he couldn't drive her out.
Ye Linde asked rather coldly, "Grace, what's the matter here." ”
Cao Shi said softly, "Master, the concubine has some things about Chen'er and Yaoyao. ”
Seeing Ye Linde frowning, the Cao family sneered in his heart, he must have thought that he came here to be fed, and the Cao family really disdained to worry about these things with him today.
Cao said, "Master, the concubine knows that Chen'er and Yaoyao have been looking for their grandfather's house, but there is no useful news, the concubine suddenly remembered something last night, isn't there a Zhuangzi in our Ye Mansion in the western suburbs, it is the dowry of Sister Rong, there are many old people who have guarded Zhuangzi for decades, and the concubine thinks that those old people may have news of Chen'er and Yaoyao's grandfather's family." ”
Ye Linde thought about it, felt that what Cao said was reasonable, and his voice softened, "Why don't you talk to Chen'er and Yaoyao in person." ”
Cao's eyes were slightly wet, "Those two children are prejudiced against the concubine, if the concubine goes to say it, they will definitely not believe it, so the concubine came to find the master, and the concubine also wants to help Chen'er and Yaoyao and redeem the merits." ”
Ye Linde nodded, "Okay, I'll tell them." ”
The corners of Cao's mouth, hidden under the veil, curled up in a strange arc, to be continued
