Winter nights are much longer than in other seasons. The charcoal fire banishes the cold and makes the whole house warm like spring.

Ye Nianchen didn't sleep, he squinted on the soft couch for a while to recuperate, and Zhi'er was also sitting on the side fiddling with needles and threads, as if she wanted to embroider something. The shadows did not know where to go, and no one could be seen inside or outside the house.

"Miss, are you not lying down anymore?" Zhi'er saw Ye Nianchen turn over and sit up, put down the things in her hand, sat down next to Ye Nianchen, and gathered the blanket on her body for her.

"It's been almost a while, what are you embroidering there?" Ye Nianchen moved to the edge of the couch and chose the most comfortable position to lean on.

"What can I embroider, anyway, this will be nothing, fiddle with it a few times, didn't the general say, the girl's family still has to be a little female red after all." Zhi'er poured a teacup for Ye Nianchen as she spoke, this cup has been warm, and it is just right to drink it.

Her embroidery has never been good, but she is still a little better than Miss, and she replied with a smile, and she didn't care.

"That's right, my uncle has always thought like that, but people's energy is always limited, and it doesn't have absolutely anything to do with whether it's a man or a woman."

Ye Nianchen shook his head, looked at Zhi'er and said: "Just listen to his words, in the future, you can do whatever you want, you can live how you want, whether you can needlework or something, it really doesn't matter." ”

"Miss, why does your words sound like something in your words?" Zhi'er was inexplicably a little flustered, and hurriedly asked, "Miss." You don't plan to wait for all the things in the capital to be over, and then you don't want Zhi'er, right? ”

"You're thinking too much." Ye Nianchen said with a smile: "Our Zhi'er people are good and can relieve my boredom and amuse, how can I not want it." It's just that I'm afraid that the older I get in the future, I can't keep it if I want to. ”

"No, no matter what, Zhi'er has to follow Miss all the time, I will go wherever Miss goes, even if Miss catches me. I'm not going to go either! Zhi'er said firmly. The look in his eyes was extraordinarily moving.

What she said was from the bottom of her heart, since she was selected by the young lady, her life has completely changed! The young lady has always been very kind to her, and never treats her as a subordinate. Although sometimes there are times when there is not much to talk about. But she knew. In Miss's heart, it was really good to her, and she really regarded her as a relative. It's like a sister.。

"Okay, if you want to follow me, you don't regret it." Seeing this, Ye Nianchen couldn't help but laugh, the heartfelt comfort offset the negative emotional impact of the whole day.

In the eyes of the so-called bloodline, she is inferior to nothing and nothing, but in the eyes of some people, she is more important than anything.

Zhi'er seemed to say something, but at this moment, a bird's cry broke the cold night, and it reached the house like that, and fell into the eyes of the two of them.

It was not an ordinary bird cry, it was the code that Ye Nianchen had explained to the shadow in advance, and this sound meant that the people of the Ye family had officially started!

Ye Nianchen and Zhi'er didn't say anything more, just calmly turned off the lights.

It was a little scary outside, and the subordinates in the various courtyards of the Ye family had already received orders to close the door early and sleep peacefully, and they were not allowed to run around.

Ye Feng personally took people at this moment and went all the way to Xiaochen Xuan.

This time, the people he brought with him were all guards, and there were quite a few of them, all of them fully armed.

Of course, before coming, Ye Feng had already sealed the mouths of these people, and compared to those chaotic subordinates in the mansion, the trained guards were of course more convenient to manage.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has to use these people at this moment!

About sixty or seventy guards quietly surrounded Xiao Chenxuan after a while.

Most of them are the guards of the Ye Mansion, and the entire Ye Mansion has used these guards this time, of course, it is far more than that, the third and fourth elders of the Ye family have also transferred nearly one or twenty people with good skills from their own mansions, so of course they want to remove Ye Nianchen in one fell swoop.

It's just that, unlike Princess Zhaohua's time, Ye Feng naturally didn't plan to do it in broad daylight, let alone have a hard time with Ye Nianchen. In fact, it has been proven that that is not the solution.

After those guards surrounded Xiao Chenxuan, Ye Feng first looked at Xiao Chenxuan for a while, making sure that there was no movement inside, thinking that they should have been asleep, then he waved his hand and made a gesture to start.

In an instant, seven or eight guards carried several large jars of wine and poured them into Xiaochen Xuan, and in a short time, they poured almost a dozen jars.

"Master, it's all right!" One of the guards stepped forward to announce that everything was ready and that he could light the fire when he gave the order.

They already knew their mission, which was to surround this place and set fire to the small dust pavilion to the ground. As for the people inside, none of them were allowed to be released, or they would be burned alive inside, or they would not dare to rush out and kill one directly.

"It's all guarded for me, and not a single fly is allowed to let me out!" Ye Feng commanded in a cold voice: "Okay, light the fire!" ”

"Wait a minute, sir, do you want to think again?" Steward De subconsciously pulled Ye Feng and persuaded him: "This, this is murder, the lives of so many people as the eldest lady and Xiao Chenxuan are all in ......."

"Shut up!" Ye Feng shook it hard, and directly threw Steward De to the ground: "Get out of the way for me, otherwise you will go in with them!" ”

"Come on, light the fire!" Ye Feng will not be a little soft-hearted, he just wants to get rid of Ye Nianchen's scourge as soon as possible, so that the Ye family's losses can be reduced a little.

Today's Ye family really can't afford the toss of this dead girl, he is only afraid that he didn't do it earlier, instead of being a little reluctant.

After the order was given, Ye Feng waited there, but for some reason, none of the guards holding the torches moved, just stood there as if they hadn't heard his orders.

"Did I let you light a fire, are you all deaf?" Ye Feng reprimanded at the moment, and he didn't care whether his voice was loud or not at the moment. Will it alarm the people inside?

Through the low wall, he could see the situation in the courtyard, which was still very quiet, there was no light, and no one came out.

"Sir, why do you want to light the fire? It's the eldest lady living in it, didn't you ever want to burn the eldest lady and them alive with your own hands? ”

One of the guards suddenly asked, his tone unspeakably strange.

"Muddy account, what does Master Ben want to do, do you still need to question it? Didn't your captain of the guard teach you even the most basic rules? Ye Feng was on fire, he never thought that someone would jump out and question him at such a time.

The guard was very stubborn. Immediately retorted: "The chief of the guard said it himself. But I don't think that's right! Whether you want to kill someone or kill your own daughter, I can't stand it. What's more, the eldest lady was kind to me, if it weren't for her. My brother has long since died! So I can't help it. This fire. It's better to do it yourself! ”

As soon as these words came out, several other guards with torches also subconsciously took a few steps back, and at the same time said, "Lao Jiang is right. We can't do this kind of unconscionable thing! ”

With someone taking the lead, many guards also talked about it one after another.

"Presumptuous! Are you trying to rebel? Ye Feng scolded angrily, he never thought that these guards would dare not listen to him and confront him so arrogantly.

"Good, good! If you don't order it, I'll order it myself today! He didn't bother to call the chief of the guard or other guards to do anything, so he stepped forward and snatched a torch from one of the guards and threw it into the courtyard of Xiaochenxuan.

The torches flew over the low wall, and they were about to fall to the ground, and now the courtyard was sprinkled everywhere, and this landing must have caught fire and burned quickly.

Many guards sighed subconsciously, but they could see how unbearable they were in their hearts, after all, this eldest lady has always been good to them.

But at this moment, just as the torch was about to hit the ground, a black shadow rolled up the torch like a gust of wind, and held it firmly in his hand and raised it.

Ye Feng's face changed suddenly, the sneer that had already appeared at the corner of his mouth froze like that, and his two eyes stared at the small courtyard that suddenly became brighter.

"Miss, someone didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran to the gate of our courtyard to throw torches to play, do you want to come out and have a look?" The shadow shouted directly, and then opened the courtyard door as if no one was around, standing there holding a torch, sneering at Ye Feng and the others.

Soon, the lights in Ye Nianchen's house also turned on, and Zhi'er walked out without hurry.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Ye Shangshu." Ye Nianchen was wearing a thick cloak around his body, as if he had come out to enjoy the night view.

She walked near the courtyard gate and stopped, Ye Feng's face outside the courtyard in the night was not very clear, but with the light and shadow of the shaking torches, she could also see a rough idea: "Oh, it turns out that Ye Shangshu has brought so many people over, seeing that this frame has already surrounded my Xiaochen Xuan, this is a spilling of wine and ignition of fire, and the situation is quite similar." ”

"Miss, I think that fifteen years ago, they did the same, but the place where the fire was lit was the courtyard where your mother lived, and the person in charge of lighting the fire was sent by Princess Zhaohua!"

Zhi'er stared at Ye Feng shamelessly, and said: "It seems that Ye Shangshu has learned really well, and it is somewhat regrettable that he didn't personally do it to his wife and eldest son fifteen years ago, so now he has come to attack his eldest daughter in person!" ”

"Shut up, no matter what you say today, it's useless, I've let people surround this little dust xuan, no one can come out, if you step out of this door, all that awaits you is knives and swords!"

Seeing this, Ye Feng didn't bother to say any more nonsense, all his true colors were revealed, and he shouted to the guards again: "Throw all the torches in for me, no one here is allowed to stay!" ”

The order was given, but the guards with torches did not move.

It's just that the guards transferred by the third and fourth elders of the Ye family have already re-lit some torches, and after hearing Ye Feng's order, they immediately threw the torches in their hands into the courtyard according to their words.

There are so many torches, with a shadow alone, even if there is a Zhi'er, it is impossible to stop them all at the same time, Ye Feng is a scheming person, and some of them may have thought of it early, for fear that something will go wrong.

For a moment, the fire brightened up, illuminating the night even brighter.

Seeing this, Ye Nianchen didn't have the slightest hint of worry, nor did he stop or scold angrily, even the shadow and Zhi'er didn't move, just stood there, staring coldly at the torches in those people's hands.

Ye Feng secretly said badly, Ye Nianchen's composure at the moment really gave him a bad premonition, and he always felt as if what he had done had already been penetrated.

Sure enough, before he had time to think about it, he saw that six or seven of the guards jumped up at the same time, and with a loud leg lift, they kicked away the torches that were thrown into the air, without giving the torches a chance to fall into Xiao Chenxuan's yard.

"! What are you doing here? Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, these guards with excellent skills must be Ye Nianchen's people.

It's just that he didn't know when these people were inserted by Ye Nianchen, so many fresh faces, so many guards, but no one told him.

"Surnamed Ye, do you really think that we can do something to the eldest lady for your dirty money?" The guard who was the first to refute Ye Feng laughed: "We are the eldest lady's people, but you don't know it yourself!" ”

As soon as these words came out, many people burst into laughter.

Ye Feng was indescribably shocked, because he found that most of the guards here were actually laughing at him there, except for the ones transferred from the third and fourth families.

"You, you ......" He was vigilant, stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Nianchen and asked, "You actually replaced all the guards in my mansion with your people!" ”

"That's not true, aren't there a lot of guards who were originally in the house, and you know some of them. If you protect it all, even if no one tells you, won't you see it at a glance? ”

Ye Nianchen finally opened his mouth again, and said lightly: "Moreover, what does it matter, the entire house is already mine, and the guards in the house are my people, so it's normal!" ”

"You, you wicked!" Ye Feng was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood directly.

"Shut up, you don't have the qualifications to discipline me!"

Ye Nianchen changed his previous indifference, and sneered angrily: "What a family member of a century-old family, what a Ye Shangshu!" Fifteen years ago, he deliberately connived at others to burn his wife and eldest son to death, but after fifteen years, instead of repenting at all, he wanted to repeat the old things and set fire to his daughter with his own hands, causing the so-called accident again! You are a mad, selfish and vicious person who is inferior to a beast, and who is not even as good as a beast, who has the right to scold me! (To be continued.) )
