"Master Ye, where are your family going?"

Snow, getting heavier. On the street that used to be crowded with pedestrians on weekdays, it is now only occasionally seen that a person in a hurry wrapped in a heavy cotton coat is seen.

"Go to the City Lord's Mansion. ”

At the door of Ye's mansion, Ye Jinghai said to the person who talked to him for the third time.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Suddenly, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew, Ye Chutao clutched the cloak around his neck tightly, but he was still itched by this gust of wind and coughed out.

"Taotao, you better go back. ”

Holding Ye Chutao's shoulders in distress, Lin Zhiyun's eyes slowly turned red.

"With such a big snowstorm, your body can't stand it. ”、

"It's all right, mother. ”

Shaking his head stubbornly, Ye Chutao's pale face barely pulled out a smile.

"Go, ahem...... I'm not at ease. ”

"Peach. ”

At this time, Lin Yucheng took off his cloak and draped it on Ye Chutao.

"Taotao, listen to your cousin, you better go back. ”

"No ......"

"Miss Ye, go home. ”

Without waiting for Ye Chutao to refuse again, Nangong Qiyue drove the carriage and slowly walked over from the side door on the other side of the Ye Mansion.

"With me, there will be no accidents. ”

"But ......"

"No, but. ”

Frowning slightly, Nangong Qiyue said: "This is not to visit relatives and friends, what can you do when you go?"

"Nangong Gongzi, why are you ......?"

"That's good. ”

Glancing at Lin Yucheng, who was a little angry because of Nangong Qiyue's words, Ye Chutao finally nodded.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back. You're going to have to come back soon!"

"Don't worry, we'll be back in a while. ”

Touching Ye Chutao's head, Ye Jinghai said to Mama Zhao and Xiangsui who were standing behind: "Quickly take Taotao back, and hurry up to boil some ginger soup for her to drive away the cold." ”

"Yes. ”

Seeing Ye Jinghai and the others get into the carriage one by one, Mama Zhao's face was full of worry.

"Girl, go back. ”

"Good. ”

Seeing the carriage slowly walking away, Ye Chutao let Mama Zhao and Xiangho help him to walk towards the house.

"Mama, Xiangho, somehow, my heart is always up and down. ”

"Girl, don't scare yourself. ”

Although she was also worried, Mama Zhao knew that in front of Ye Chutao, she must not panic. So with a smile, Mama Zhao said: "It's just to arrest the city lord, nothing will happen, besides, there are still young masters and Nangong Gongzi here." ”

"I hope so. ”

Walking back to the room slowly, Ye Chutao sat by the brazier, silently feeling the time passing little by little.

......

"Xiangho, you go out and have a look, Daddy, haven't they come back yet?"

It felt like it had been a long time, so long that Ye Chutao felt that his body was going to stiffen, but he still didn't see Ye Jinghai and them come back.

The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, so Ye Chutao frowned tightly and commanded Xiangho, who was silently standing on the side.

"Yes, girl, don't worry, Xiangho will go out and have a look. ”

Afraid that Ye Chutao would be in a hurry because she was too anxious, Xiang Sui hurriedly walked out of the door after answering. However, as soon as she opened the curtain and walked out, she saw Mama Zhao coming over with a panicked expression.

"Mama, what's wrong?"

Holding Mama Zhao's arm, Xiangho lowered her voice and asked.

"But there's news of the old lady? The girl is in a hurry in the house. ”

"Alas. ”

Listening to the movement in the house, Mama Zhao leaned closer to Xiangho's ear.

"Xiangho, you go to the house and sit well with the girl, remember, don't let the girl come out. ”

"Mama, what's going on?"

Mama Zhao's expression made Xiangho's heart tighten.

"But the lord and the lady ...... them"

"Xiangho, is Mama coming?"

As soon as Xiangho's question was halfway through, he was interrupted by Ye Chutao's voice in the room.

"Yes. ”

Kaho replied to the room.

"So what are you doing standing outside? Come on in. ”

"Yes. ”

Listening to Ye Chutao's voice, there was nothing unusual, and after Mama Zhao gave Xiangsui a look, she sorted out her emotions, and then walked into the room with a smile on her face.

"Girl. ”

"Mama. ”

Ye Chutao sat on the warm couch and raised her head to look at Mama Zhao, who was obviously a little evasive in her eyes.

"What did Mama just do?"

"Before I went, I told us to boil some ginger soup for the girl to ward off the cold, so I just came from the kitchen. ”

Walking to Ye Chutao's side with a smile, Mama Zhao pulled the cotton clothes draped on Ye Chutao's shoulders up.

"Really?"

Glancing at Mama Zhao lightly, Ye Chutao said, "What about the ginger soup?"

"Ginger Soup ......"

Mama Zhao couldn't help but froze, but then, she smiled and patted her forehead.

"Alas, look at my brain, I'm really old and my memory is useless, and I forgot the ginger soup in the kitchen, so I'm going to bring it to the girl. ”

"Oh. ”

Seeing that Mama Zhao turned around to leave, Ye Chutao asked again: "Mama, are they back?"

"Not yet. ”

Mama Zhao stopped.

"Look at this hour, I will be back in a while. ”

"Good. ”

Ye Chutao nodded, and stood up with the hand stove.

"I'll go to the door and have a look. ”

"Well, the girl can't go. ”

As soon as she heard that Ye Chutao was going out, Mama Zhao was a little anxious.

"Why can't you go?"

looked at Mama Zhao, who was a little weak-hearted, and then looked down at the cotton clothes on her shoulders, Ye Chutao smiled: "Mama don't worry, I am holding the hand stove, and the cotton clothes I wear are also very thick, and they will not freeze." ”

"Girl......"

Seeing that Ye Chutao had made up her mind to go out, Mama Zhao stretched out her hand to stop Ye Chutao, and said hesitantly: "Girl...... It's ...... out there again It's snowing again, so don't ...... Don't go out. ”

"Really?"

Looking at Mama Zhao fixedly, Ye Chutao said: "If it's not in the way, then I'll go out to see the snow scene by the way." ”

"Girl!"

Knowing that she couldn't stop Ye Chutao, Mama Zhao sighed secretly, and said helplessly: "I still beg the girl not to go out, otherwise...... Otherwise......"

"How else?"

Ye Chutao still had a clear and shallow smile on her face, but in the eyes of Mama Zhao, she only felt a chill in her heart.

"Don't worry, girl, listen to me. ”

Standing in front of Ye Chutao with her head bowed, Mama Zhao said in a deep voice: "Just now I was in the kitchen, and I heard the little guy guarding the door come to tell me that there was someone making trouble outside the house, and I went to see it and found out that it was the people in the city who came to our door to ask the lord and Mrs. for an explanation." ”

"Explain?"

Mama Zhao's words made Ye Chutao a little confused.

"What do you mean?"

"I heard from them, after the lord and lady tied up the city lord, they gathered the people at the city gate, and then in front of the people, the lord said that he wanted to unite with Fengli City to resist the vassal king and send troops to the imperial city...... They all say......"

"Say what?"

"They all said that the lord and the lady were rebellious ministers and thieves, and they dared to rebel, so they ......"

"So they came to Yefu to ask for an explanation?"

"That seems to mean it. ”

"What about Daddy and Mommy?"

Ye Chutao was so shocked that he almost dropped the hand stove in his hand.

"Father, mother, cousin and Nangong Gongzi are all smart and alert people, how can they say this in front of the people?"

"This ...... I don't know about that......"

"Could it be...... Is it the one who was persecuted by Qu Luoshang?"

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, so she didn't care about Mama Zhao's obstruction, Ye Chutao walked quickly to the door, opened the curtain and walked out.
