Chapter 29: The Tip of the Iceberg
Unlike when he came, when he went back, there was only Ye Nianchen's master and servant in the wide carriage.
After Ye Ruxue came out early, she followed the carriage of another noble girl and walked first, without saying a word, fortunately, Mrs. Zhou's eyes were sharp, otherwise she didn't know when she would have to wait.
Regarding Ye Ruxue's rudeness of leaving without telling her, Ye Nianchen showed that he would pay attention, and after returning to Ye Mansion, he did not go to Princess Zhaohua to say anything, as if nothing had happened.
And after Ye Ruxue returned home, she went directly to Princess Zhaohua's house, and the mother and daughter talked about it for a long time behind closed doors, and the specific content was not difficult to guess.
As for what the mother and daughter will plan to target themselves, Ye Nianchen doesn't care, after finishing breakfast the next day and cleaning up, she is ready to go out to give free medical treatment to the people in the capital as usual.
Before he went out, he saw Mrs. Zhou walk in: "Miss, don't go to the koi pond when you go out of the house today, go a little farther and go somewhere else." ”
"Why?" Zhi'er was puzzled.
Mrs. Zhou explained: "The little one just heard that there was an accident in the koi pond, and someone drowned in it, which happened just now, and the little one is afraid that the eldest lady will be exposed to some bad luck." ”
"It's impossible, people can drown in the shallow water of a koi pond?" Zhi'er smiled, and by the way, she straightened Ye Nianchen's clothes, obviously not believing Zhou Pozi's words.
"Miss, Miss Zhi'er, what the little one said is true!"
Seeing that Ye Nianchen didn't take her words seriously, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said: "That's the case, the drowned person is the steward of the miscellaneous room, and I don't know where the idle time came from early in the morning to go to the koi pond to feed the fish. ”
Later, the steward screamed for some reason, and suddenly fell into the koi pond, probably because his foot slipped or something, anyway, there was no one next to her at the time. The two little maids who were cleaning saw people fall into the water with their own eyes, but thinking that the water in the pool was so shallow, they naturally never thought that something would happen, and they thought it was funny at first. ”
When Mrs. Zhou said this, she sighed: "But later, they didn't see anyone coming up from the koi pond for half a day, so they felt that something was wrong." When they went around to the edge of the pool to take a closer look, they found that the person was lying motionless in the water, and he had drowned! ”
"This ...... It's too unlucky, isn't it? Zhi'er shook her head and said, "This kind of thing happened in the house early in the morning, and it is indeed a bit unlucky. ”
Ye Nianchen didn't say much, the dead was just a servant in the house, and it was not worth her to pay attention to the eldest lady.
just told Mrs. Zhou to take care of Xiao Chenxuan, whether she is there or not, I hope that the subordinates in the yard can be good at work, do their duty, and don't make trouble for her.
The free clinic every other day has been known to more and more people, and Ye Nianchen has tried his best to help as many people in need as possible through his medical skills.
Most of the poor people are kind and simple, and many people who have been cured by Ye Nianchen will flash over again, just to say thank you again.
Some of them take some things grown in their own fields and send them, although they are worthless, it is a little bit of their heart, but Ye Nianchen always refuses with a smile, and everyone knows the temperament of the eldest lady of the Ye family, so every day someone will spontaneously come over to help, and they can do something to calculate their strength.
More and more people gradually know the name Ye Nianchen, a synonym for hope, benevolence and beauty.
In less than two months, Ye Nianchen has become famous in many streets around there, some people call her the goddess doctor, some people call Mr. Ye, and some people call her a female bodhisattva.
Her medical skills and medical products have been recognized by more and more people, and she is respected and loved by more and more people because of her benevolent heart.
Compared with Ye Nianchen's, the days of Ye Mansion are not so smooth these days.
After the koi pond that couldn't drown the dead in public, there was an accident in the house a few days later, which made people feel panicked.
One of the subordinates was killed on the spot by a sudden dry thunderstorm in the good weather of the daylight and clear skies, and there were no days between the two events.
One accident after another, so that the entire Ye Mansion was shrouded in a layer of depression and horror, as much as possible, Princess Zhaohua repeatedly emphasized that people in the mansion were not allowed to talk about these accidents indiscriminately, but all kinds of speculations and rumors were even more numerous, like a flood that burst the embankment.
The people in the Ye Mansion are becoming more and more panicked, rumors are spreading, and they can't be blocked, not to mention the Ye Mansion, even more and more people in the capital have already known about it, and there are many discussions.
"Hey, now it's scary that people are dying every once in a while!" After lunch, some people in the back kitchen who had nothing to do found a cool place and whispered again: "How long has the eldest lady been back, and a total of three have died. ”
"The more I think about it, the more scared I become, and I don't know what bizarre accidents will happen next, and how many people will die." Someone was worried: "Do you say that we should take a long vacation to leave Ye Mansion first, what if those strange things happen to us!" ”
"How can it be so good to take a long vacation, unless you don't plan to go back to the Ye family to make a living!" The older mother-in-law comforted: "Actually, I think you don't have to worry so much, ghosts or good people, the so-called unjust debtors have owners, we haven't done those things that hurt heaven and reason, no matter what, it can't be our turn." ”
Hearing this mother-in-law's words, someone suddenly thought of something, and said to a few people in a low voice: "I heard that the four people who died recently seem to be related to the deaths of Mrs. Liu and the eldest young master fifteen years ago. Those people were all people who served closely beside the lady and the eldest young master back then, but I don't know what happened, on the day of the fire, none of them served in the house! ”
What's even more bizarre is that these people only received very light punishments later, and they did not suffer any bad luck because of the death of the lady and the eldest young master. Later, less than three or two years after Princess Zhaohua married into the Ye family, several of them got mixed up with good errands one after another, and they were promoted and reused! ”
The man sighed with emotion: "Think about it, is this normal? ”
"Could it be that the death of the lady and the eldest young master has something to do with the princess? Can...... Why? Someone was so surprised that he almost cried out, as if he couldn't think of it at all, and couldn't figure out why.
"Shhhh
The man glared fiercely, looking like a fool, and then he still couldn't hold back, and after a pause, he said in a voice that couldn't be smaller: "It is said that the second miss was born prematurely and was born just seven months ago, but some people say that when the second miss was born, the head, weight, and spirit were not even comparable to a full-term baby!" ”
……
In today's world, there is never anything that spreads faster than Xiaodao Xiaoxi, and even Princess Zhaohua has heard a lot of negative rumors in private, and she is so angry that she almost kills a mouthy subordinate.
It's just that Princess Zhaohua racked her brains, but she couldn't stop more and more news marked with the word "secret" from leaking out of the mouths of unknown people little by little.
And all of them, Ye Nianchen ignored them, he only did his best every day, quietly stayed out of the matter, and looked at everything in this mansion.
On this day, Ye Nianchen returned home after giving free medical treatment to the people on the street, and just walked to the gate when he saw a man walking out of Ye's mansion angrily.
The man was not more than fifty years old, not tall, richly dressed, and his angry look made his face look extremely fierce.
He walked very fast, almost hitting Ye Nianchen directly, but after being forced to stop, he reprimanded Ye Nianchen loudly: "Hun account, how do you walk, don't you have long eyes?" ”
