Ye Jinyu went out of the city to see them off, and the family met at the post station outside the city.

Although Qi Minhui had heard a lot of rumors about Wu'an Hou, it was the first time she saw a real person, and she suddenly understood why her cousin was reluctant to leave the Hou Mansion.

"Master Hou took the initiative to follow you?" Qi Minhui pulled Ye Jinyu aside and whispered.

Ye Jinyu looked at the gossip in her eyes, nodded helplessly, and added: "There was an accident with the people in the mansion before, and the Hou Ye was worried that the assassin would make a comeback, so he followed." ”

Qi Minhui said with satisfaction: "In this way, he is not as affectionate as outsiders say, it's good to know that he feels sorry for you."

"Cousin, your attitude has changed so quickly, was it bought by Master Hou's face?" Ye Jinyu laughed evilly and teased her.

Qi Minhui glared at her with disgust, a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and her face flushed slightly.

Ye Jinyu resisted the urge to laugh, and felt that the atmosphere was so good now, it was better to take the opportunity to talk about it.

"Cousin, do you remember what happened ten years ago?"

Qi Minhui looked at her inexplicably, "Remember something, what's wrong?" ”

Ye Jinyu said sadly: "I don't even remember, I can't even remember what my father and mother looked like." I only vaguely heard that my father was implicated in a corruption case, is this true? Is my dad really a corrupt official? ”

Qi Minhui's face stiffened slightly, and she carefully looked at her expression, and after a long time, she stabilized her voice and said: "Ten years ago, I was only eleven years old, and I had only heard about the corruption of ink, and no one would tell a child the details of those cases. As for your father and uncle, I don't know. ”

"What kind of person does my cousin think my father is?" Ye Jinyu asked again.

"Jin Yu, it's been ten years since that incident, and you've been doing well in the past ten years, and that's enough. It's okay to forget about them, you won't be sad if you don't think about it, so why should you pursue those pasts. Qi Minhui held her hands and persuaded earnestly: "Listen to my sister, don't chase the past, live in the present, I believe that my aunt and uncle also hope that you can live a carefree life." ”

Ye Jinyu knew that there would be no result if he continued to ask, so he replied obediently: "I know, thank you cousin for your teachings." ”

"There is no need to say thank you between sisters." Qi Minhui patted the back of her hand, and the two sisters chatted a few more words, and Tong Ying reminded her that it was time to leave.

sent my cousin's family away, said goodbye to my aunt and others, and everyone got into the carriage and went home.

"What are you talking to your cousin about?" Li Sui poured a cup of hot tea in his hand, and asked when he saw that her face was not very good.

Ye Jinyu glanced at him strangely, and deeply felt that this "cousin" was too smooth.

"I always think my cousin knows something about my father's mother, but she seems to be very evasive."

Li Sui took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "Your parents' past Benhou has also investigated, your father lost his father when he was young, and his family background is not good. Later, he entered the official through the imperial examination, and was initially just a small county lieutenant in the subordinate county seat of Yingcheng. And your mother was the sister of the mayor of Yingcheng at that time, and she was born in a scholarly family. The two of them have a huge difference in identity, but they met by coincidence, and it took a lot of twists and turns to get married. ”

"And then, what about my grandmother?" Ye Jinyu asked.

Li Sui said: "Not long after your parents got married, your grandmother died. Fortunately, your father was very angry, and he was soon promoted to work in the state capital yamen. Later, your uncle was promoted to the Taishou of Yingcheng, and your father also joined the army, and it is said that the marriage of the two families of Qi and Ye at that time was also a beautiful conversation in Yingcheng. ”

"In this way, there is no problem with the identity of my father." Ye Jinyu stared, but her cousin's reaction made her feel strange.

Maybe the cousin also has doubts about her father's case? But maybe it's just a reluctance to bring up the past that makes her sad.

"Master Hou, how did my mother die?" Ye Jinyu asked.

Li Sui pursed his lips, didn't answer immediately, poured another cup of hot tea, and drank it slowly.

"Whatever the truth is, I can accept it." Ye Jinyu said sincerely and firmly.

Li Sui sighed, "Why do you have to be obsessed with the reason, it's just that this matter is not a secret, you will know sooner or later." Your mother...... He hanged himself on the day your father was condemned. ”

This is a possibility that Ye Jinyu had guessed, but when she heard it with her own ears, she couldn't help but be shocked!

At that time, Ye Ruyun was only six years old, how could she bear to leave her child behind as a mother, but now it can only be said that Ye Qi's family was not a qualified mother back then.

The days passed peacefully, going to Chen's house every day to learn tattoos, coming back to have a meal with Hou Ye, taking care of the big and small things in the backyard, and sometimes the various stewards would come over to ask her for some things. It's just that I haven't dreamed anymore for five consecutive days, and the days when I can't see my boyfriend are empty, lonely and cold!

That night, before going to bed, she deliberately burned incense and bathed, ate a fast, and prayed sincerely that she would meet Yun Yu in her dream. Who knew that the heavens were not beautiful, and when he slept until midnight, the dream was not completed, but was woken up by Ling Zhao.

"What's wrong?" Ye Jinyu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he warned her in an unkind tone: "If it's not a fatal thing, see how I clean you up." ”

Ling Zhao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and reported very quickly: "Something happened to Ming Shuyuan, and an assassin broke into Miss Ye's room just half an hour ago, but fortunately, Qing Yun who was keeping vigil bumped into someone and called someone to capture him on the spot. ”

"How is Miss Ye?" Ye Jinyu was completely awake with a shock, and asked while getting dressed: "The palace is so heavily guarded, how can there be assassins breaking in?" Could it be a thief in the house? ”

Ling Zhao helped her tidy up her clothes, and the two went downstairs.

Fortunately, it was found in time, Miss Ye was just a little frightened, and she didn't lose anything in the room. was guessed correctly by the girl, it is a person from the house, and this person is also familiar to you, it is Anjou Dream who was locked up in the original garden. ”118

"Anjou Dream?!" Ye Jinyu was surprised, "How did she run out?" What was the purpose of her breaking into Mingshu Garden? ”

Ling Zhao shook his head, "I don't know, Master Qu interrogated a few words, but Miss An refused to answer. In the end, it's the people in the backyard, Master Qu thinks it should be handled by you. ”

Ye Jinyu understands that as a man, Master Qu will always have a lot of inconvenience in the face of women in the backyard.

On the third watch, the lights in the Mingshu Garden were bright, and a group of guards gathered outside the courtyard, and the atmosphere inside was also very silent and tense.

After Ye Jinyu came in, she first said a few words to Qu Yu in the courtyard, what he said was similar to Ling Zhao, and she entered the house.

An Rumeng was tied up in the flower hall, Ye Jinyu saw that she was dressed as a small girl, sitting on a stool with a face like ashes, no matter who came in, she didn't react much.

Qingyun was still comforting the frightened Ye Yuanxi, so Qingfeng came over and explained the situation to Ye Jinyu again, and finally asked for help with red eyes: "Miss Ye, my girl's body has just recovered a little, and she has not recovered from being scared by Miss An so much. You must make the decision for us, and ask Miss Na'an why she has to hold on to my girl. ”

Ye Jinyu comforted her and walked up to An Rumeng, and asked in a deep voice: "Miss An, do you honestly explain this time, or do you have to be tortured before you say it?" ”

Anjou Meng Huo Ran looked up, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and it was quickly replaced by resentment.

"What do you know?" An Rumeng said in a low voice: "Everyone was sent to the Hou Mansion, there is no high or low, but why can you all leave that ghost place?" And my family and I were implicated because of the innocence of the Hou Mansion, and now the Hou Ye still suspects me and locks me up alone in that ghost place, why? ”

Ye Jinyu's eyes widened slightly, and he took a step back, Anru Meng couldn't be locked up and wanted to take revenge on them, and find a sense of accomplishment from them, right?

"I know that the things I did before made the Hou Ye dislike me, maybe one day the Hou Ye will kick me out of the house, or I will be locked up in Ruchuyuan for the rest of my life. This kind of life is simply worse than death, if it weren't for Hou Ye's partiality with you, why would I have fallen to this point? I'm not happy, and you don't want to be happy. ”

"Anjou Meng, now that it's happened, are you still qualified to hold grievances for yourself?" Ye Jinyu's eyes were cold, and he asked sharply: "When you hurt me, you were afraid that I would monopolize the favor of the Hou Ye." But what about Miao Yin, she stayed quietly in the Ruchu Garden, and there was no threat to you, why did you treat her like that? ”

"If you want to blame her, it's to blame that she always steals my limelight, blame your sister for confusing Master Hou, she doesn't want to rely on you like that......"

Syllable!

Ye Jinyu slapped An Rumeng's face, trembling angrily, and gritted his teeth and said: "Don't think everyone is as dirty as you, I have always remembered the matter of Miaoyin, and sooner or later I will ask you for it." Now, tell me how you got out of the original garden, right? ”

An Rumeng covered half of her red and swollen face, if her eyes could kill, she would have torn Ye Jinyu to pieces.

"If you have the ability, you will kill me, even if you kill me, Qin Miaoyin will not be able to raise her head for the rest of her life, just wait to die of old age in that deserted courtyard."

Ye Jinyu took a deep breath, breathed again, and tried several times to suppress the anger that was about to erupt.

"Harming others will end up harming yourself, even if you don't say anything today, you can't escape the responsibility of the crime by escaping from Ruchu Garden and breaking into Mingshu Garden without permission."

Ye Jinyu took two steps back and said to Ling Zhao, "Search her body." ”

Ling Zhao stepped forward without hesitation, An Rumeng just struggled for a moment, and was pressed into the chair by her with a lift, searched up and down, inside and out, and finally found a dagger behind her waist.

"It seems that you don't just want to scare Miss Ye, you're clearly here to kill someone." Ye Jinyu threw the dagger on the desk in Anru Meng's hand, and the other party was so shocked that he withdrew his hand, and nervously wanted to snatch the thing back.

"Are you willing to be honest now?" Ye Jinyu stared at her sternly.

Anjou avoided her gaze, biting her lip but still refusing to explain.

Ye Jinyu didn't expect her to be so hard-mouthed, so she could only threaten: "You may still have a chance to live in my hands, but if you hand it over to Master Hou......"

"Miss Ye, someone from Shen Pavilion is here." A servant girl suddenly ran in and interrupted Ye Jinyu's threat.

Anjou's body went limp, and she almost fainted with fright as she rolled her eyelids.

Ye Jinyu told Ling Zhao to look at people here, so he walked out of the flower hall and saw the lark standing in the courtyard with two grandmothers.

"Miss Ye." The lark saluted her and said softly: "Master Hou confessed that he would bring Anru Meng over for personal interrogation." This person has a lot of evil intentions, and the Hou Ye is worried that the girl will be hurt by her, so you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, so you can go back to Fuyuan to rest. ”

Ye Jinyu was silent, Hou Ye had locked people up in Ruchuyuan for so long, and he didn't say anything. Now that he wants to take people away, and he specially instructed her not to interfere, do you want this matter to be over?

Why does Hou Ye have to keep the Anru dream?

"Miss Ye?" The lark called to her from the side.

Ye Jinyu came back to his senses, knowing that he couldn't change Hou Ye's decision, and he no longer struggled senselessly, and retreated to the side to make way.

After the lark took the person away, she went to appease Ye Yuanxi for a few more words, and then took Ling Zhao back to Fuyuan.

When passing by the Shen Pavilion, she lingered outside the door for a while, but finally did not enter.

It wasn't until noon the next day that she heard that Anjou had been released back into the Ruchu Garden, and that night, Anjou had hanged herself in her house.
