In July, although it was past the hottest hour of noon, the scorching temperature could still evaporate the voices of the people, and the empty and silent Suzaku Avenue was only the chirping of cicadas and the occasional sound of horses' hooves.

The locust trees on both sides of the avenue are extremely vigorous, and the branches hang a bunch of golden locust flowers like pagodas, and a few white butterflies linger among the flowers and trees, flapping their wings and greedily dipping the residual water vapor on the branches and leaves of the locust tree.

"Girl, you really don't have to drive into the market? It's still half an hour's walk from here to the gate of Yefu. The coachman took a few pieces of broken silver from Ye Tingyao's hand and said earnestly.

makes a living as a pastry in a teahouse, and Ye Tingyao is not short of money for the time being.

Ye Tingyao gathered her veil, and as soon as she jumped out of the carriage, the corners of her forehead began to sweat, and she waved her hand and said, "No need, thank you, master, it's okay to get here, it's just a short way, I'll walk in." ”

"Okay, that girl should be safe, don't get heat stroke." The coachman stuffed the silver into his bosom and quickly waved his whip away.

Ye Tingyao gasped as she walked, Dumb was hung on her back in a bag, a goose head stretched out and looked around, and when she saw the locust flower hanging on the low branch, she pecked a few bites, dipped a goose beak petal and threw it on Ye Tingyao's already a little messy bun.

"Dumb, there are a few man-eating female monsters living in the house, you must be careful, you are usually fine, you are absolutely not allowed to run around, this will make us walk over, you can look more wolf. And my scumbag father is about to go to the office, so I am his own child, and he will not be as ruthless to me as the Cao family......"

After another street entrance, you will reach the gate of Ye Mansion, and Ye Tingyao can already see the lanterns and copper rings hanging on the eaves of Ye Mansion.

Ye Tingyao looked around, didn't rush into the door, just looked for a shade, hid behind a tree and quietly looked at the street.

She was waiting, waiting for Ye Linde to appear and take her into the house from the gate, this mansion was her mother's dowry, it should be her brother and her things, she could pretend to be stupid, but she must not enter through the corner gate silently, she did not want to show weakness to the Cao family.

After about a quarter of an hour, Ye Tingyao finally saw four sedan chair drivers wearing servant clothes with the words "Ye Fu", carrying a black-topped official sedan chair and walking steadily from not far away.

Almost, Ye Tingyao patted Dumb's head first, and asked Dumb to hide in the burden and not come out, she raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes, tears and sweat flowed down her face.

Ye Tingyao scolded a few swear words in her heart, and the chili powder she took from the inn kitchen was too spicy, and she couldn't stop her tears for a while.

Ye Tingyao didn't forget to adjust her crying posture, her upper body and head leaned forward, although the flaws on her face were made of grease pink pigment that was not easy to wash off, but she still had to be just in case.

"Daddy! Father! Father! ”

Three sad shouts full of emotion, those who really heard it shed tears, those who saw it were sad, and the four sedan chair drivers were startled by Ye Tingyao who suddenly jumped out from behind the tree, and almost threw the sedan chair.

The sedan chair shook for a while, Ye Linde lifted the sedan curtain and shouted unhappily, "What's the matter?" ”

Ye Tingyao clearly saw Ye Linde's old face, and she was even more energetic, and her whole body was lying on the sedan pole, "Dad, I'm Yaoyao, why don't you know me, I'm looking for you so hard!" ”

Hell knowing under a veil.

Ye Tingyao thought to himself that these roars were in place, and when he heard the word Yaoyao, Ye Linde's face changed greatly, and he immediately stepped out of the sedan chair, with surprise and doubts in his eyes, "Yaoyao? It's really Yaoyao, what's wrong with your face, why are you covering your veil. ”

Although he couldn't see his face, Ye Linde had already heard Ye Tingyao's voice, and when he looked at Ye Tingyao's hazy eyes that were almost swollen into peaches, he was sure that it was his daughter.

Ye Tingyao couldn't stop crying, she sobbed so badly that she was about to finish her words.

Ye Linde frowned, he kept telling outsiders that his eldest daughter was recuperating in the boudoir, which would attract too much attention on the street, and it was really rumored that it would be bad for him.

Ye Linde took Ye Tingyao, "Yaoyao, don't cry, if you have any grievances, go home and say, you get on the sedan chair first, and you will be home in less than two steps." ”

The corners of Ye Tingyao's mouth in the veil were slightly hooked, her father valued his reputation and wanted an official career, so he had to rush her to his home.

Ye Linde walked in front of the sedan chair, Ye Tingyao sat comfortably on the sedan chair, heard the sound of the big iron door opening and closing, and felt the sedan chair go up the steps.

The sedan chair man took her across the high threshold, and Ye Tingyao proudly raised her neck, but the tears were still flowing, and her eyes were very hot.

"Husband, why don't you sit in a sedan chair, look at your robe and shirt are soaked with sweat."

It was Cao's voice, Ye Tingyao's face suddenly became gloomy, in the face of such a sinister and vicious person as Cao's, how much effort did she have to use to restrain the disgust in her heart, calling this poisonous mother?

"Yaoyao is back."

I have to admit that although Ye Linde is a scumbag father, his expression on his face is happy at this time.

The Cao family and Ye Ruyi froze suddenly, the Cao family was still quick to react, and the corners of the mouth were extremely ugly, "Husband, you, are you joking with me?" Yaoyao is not, isn't it? ”

"Yaoyao is not dead, she is alive and well." Ye Linde saw the change in the expressions of Cao and Ye Ruyi, and he was quite dissatisfied, especially Ye Ruyi, who still looked displeased.

Ye Linde left the Cao family and returned to the sedan chair, "Yaoyao, don't cry, come out quickly." ”

After entering the mansion, Ye Tingyao didn't plan to cry, she also planned to exchange words with Cao Shi and Ye Ruyi a few times, but the amount of chili powder was misestimated.

When Ye Tingyao got down from the sedan chair, her veil was almost completely wet with tears, but her eyes were still spicy, Ye Tingyao didn't need to look to know that she was as wolf as she looked now.

Ye Linde looked at Ye Tingyao in a daze, and his impression was that this daughter was different from Ye Ruyi, who stuck to his side every day and called him father sweetly, Ye Tingyao always quietly did not cry or laugh.

And he didn't love his second daughter from the beginning, but Ye Tingyao disappointed him more than once or twice.

He once got delicious food, he would order someone to send it to Ye Tingyao's house, but the next person reported that all the food was moldy, and the eldest lady refused to move...... After doing this several times, all the good things went to Cao and Ye Ruyi's house.

Where did Ye Linde know that the poisonous woman sued Ye Tingyao, who was only six years old at the time, that those things were poisonous, and after eating them, his whole body would ulcerate and die.

Another time, Ye Linde was drinking tea in the courtyard, and saw Ye Tingyao hiding behind the winding bushes from a distance, he beckoned to Ye Tingyao, but Ye Tingyao not only did not come, but turned to leave, that time Ye Linde was so angry that he dropped the tea cup, and decided that Ye Tingyao did not take his father in his eyes at all.

But he didn't know that every time the little girl talked to him, her hands would be filled with alkaline water, burning patches of painful and unhealable red spots.

He always thought that Ye Tingyao was a heartless person, and he didn't want to meet again this time, Yaoyao cried so sadly...... (To be continued.) )
