"Jin Yu, do you remember how your parents died?" Qi Envoy Jun sighed lightly and asked.

Ye Jinyu chuckled in her heart, she definitely didn't know, but listening to the other party's tone, there must be something else hidden in this. She pursed her lips, trying to recall all kinds of sad things, and finally forced herself to redden.

Seeing this, Qi Yuanjun sighed again, and said quietly: "Uncle Blame is incompetent, and he has not found out who the real murderer is. Your parents died unjustly, but the uncle who can investigate has already been checked, and it has been re-examined several times or a dozen times, but we have too few clues, and it is difficult to push the case forward. ”

Ye Jinyu sniffed and shook his head, "Don't blame your uncle, you have done your best." ”

Qi Zhijun barely stabilized his emotions, his eyebrows and eyes warmed, and he was finally no longer the unsmiling Lord Taishou in front of outsiders.

"Your grandmother has always blamed your uncle for being cruel and not paying attention to you, so she sent you to the Wu'an Hou Mansion at will. Only you understand your uncle's hard work, let you be wronged in the Hou Mansion, and your uncle is also guilty. ”

Ye Jinyu raised her eyebrows, and was shocked in her heart, it turned out that her identity was even more bloody. I entered the Hou Mansion because of her parents' case, before that, Hou Ye wanted to kill her, and then he kept testing her, is it also because of her parents' case?

"I heard your aunt mention your situation in the Hou Mansion, and I think I have won the trust of the Hou Lord. If you have the opportunity, ask about the details of the Fengzhou ink corruption case back then. If it is difficult to ask, I will find a way to find out by myself, one of the chief judges of this case back then was the old marquis who had been martyred. ”

In the carriage, Ye Jinyu thought about what his uncle said, and suddenly thought of Li Yi's life experience.

She had heard Miaoyin say before that Hou Ye's life experience was both tragic and pitiful.

The Li family is full of loyalty, and several brothers of Li Yi's father's generation died on the battlefield. His father was the last to be martyred, and his mother died not long after. The rest of the women did not leave a man and a woman, some returned to their parents' homes as widows, and some remarried others.

In the end, the Li family was left with only one seedling of Li Sui, and at the age of twelve he was forced to be knighted. It is said that before that, he was also a bright young man with high ambitions, but since then he has grown longer and more crooked, and before he knows it, he has grown into a gentleman in the capital.

Ye Jinyu was very sympathetic to his suffering, but he couldn't agree with his attitude towards life, the sacrifices of his ancestors did not make him work harder, but he was willing to fall, which was a pity and hateful.

But these things didn't happen to her, and she couldn't empathize, so she didn't have the qualifications and position to blame other people's practices.

"You've been staring at Benhou, but you have something to say?" The man interrupted her thoughts by a loud voice.

Ye Jinyu turned his head to look over, the man was still the same lazy appearance as before, leaning comfortably on the cushion, squinting his eyes slightly, but his gaze was like a poisonous snake that could penetrate people's hearts.

"I... I want to ask, how old is Master Hou this year? Ye Jinyu really wanted to bite off her tongue, when did she become so cowardly.

Li Sui opened his eyes, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and he smiled slightly after a moment, and replied: "Nineteen years old, you will be crowned in four months." ”

Ye Jinyu also opened her eyes widely, she always thought that Hou Ye should be at least twenty-one or two years old, but who knew that he was not yet twenty years old. In modern times, he is still in college at this age, four years younger than her real age.

But in this way, it has been more than seven or eight years since the old Hou Ye died, and the ink corruption case must be higher, the Hou Ye at that time was still a little child, what can he know.

"What are you doing all of a sudden?" Li Sui asked with interest.

Ye Jinyu came back to his senses, smiled politely, and casually explained a reason: "I just suddenly thought that you are not a few months younger than your cousin, and your cousin has not been married for special reasons, but what about you, why haven't you been married?" Your conditions are so good, is it because your vision is too high? ”

The expression on Li Sui's face rose and fell with her words, and it took a moment before it slowly froze on a complicated smile, "Miss Ye suddenly cares about Ben Hou's marriage, does she want to be a matchmaker or is she a taste in her heart?" ”

"You're too worried, just curious." Ye Jinyu turned his head back with a smile, let you talk about family affairs, and forgot that our Wu'an Hou is very narcissistic.

Her dislike looked like a shy look in Li Sui's eyes, and she was in a better mood suddenly.

Back at the Hou Mansion, he was mysteriously invited to the study by the Lark God, and after listening to his report, he suddenly understood why Ye Rutong suddenly asked about his age.

It turns out that all of her incomprehensible customs are all because of one name!

"Master Hou, only the wife of the Hou Mansion is worthy of the wedding gift, and she can't be a wife as Miss Ye. But there are gains and losses in everything, seeing that Miss Ye is also a sensible person, you can use other ways to make up for it, as long as you can make Miss Ye feel your unique love for her, even if it is ......"

"What nonsense!" Li Sui scolded angrily, glared at the self-proclaimed clever little guy and said: "When did this Hou Ye say that he was going to please her, how many women are waiting for this Hou Ye to pamper her, where is her turn, you don't give me bad ideas." ”

The villain didn't say that he wanted you to please Miss Ye, I'm not teaching you how to chase the girl! The lark was very aggrieved, he broke his heart for the Hou Ye, but in the end he was disliked, where is the reason.

As soon as Ye Jinyu returned to Fuyuan, he closed the door of the bedroom and rummaged through all the things in the room, but found nothing.

She called Ling Zhao up again and asked, "Have you moved all the things I had in Ruchu Garden?" Are there any lost or destroyed ones? ”

Ling Zhao thought for a moment before shaking his head and replied, "No, I personally watched and cleaned up the things, and I also checked them later, and everything was there." ”

"Did I put all my stuff in the bedroom?" Ye Jinyu asked again.

Ling Zhao replied: "There are some things that are not needed, and they are all packed up and put in the small courtyard at the back. ”

"Take me to see it." Ye Jinyu got up and walked out.

Ling Zhao went back to his room to get the key, and asked as he led the way, "What are you looking for?" Just tell me to go find it. "Strange books

Ye Jinyu didn't speak, she just wanted to see what Ye Rutong had before, maybe she missed something when she checked those things for the first time.

There are two wings in the small courtyard, both of which are used as utility rooms.

Ye Jinyu took the key from Ling Zhao's hand, "You go get busy, I'll just go in and see if there is anything that can be used." ”

When the Qi family sent her to the Hou Mansion, in addition to the fact that there were no maidservants, gold, silver, jade, clothes and jewelry were fully equipped, and they were purchased according to the standard of marrying a daughter. Everything adds up to an entire wing.

Ye Jinyu rummaged inside for an hour, and finally found a hard object in a set of bedding, which was carefully sewn into the thick cotton. This set of futon is sandwiched in the middle, and even if you want to use it, you won't move it first, so it's no wonder that no one has been found.

She searched around the house again, but found no scissors, so she simply carried the futon back to the bedroom. Closing the door and opening it, the hard object was a palm-sized jade tiger, and it was only half, and it was engraved with gold inscriptions, as if it was a seal script that she couldn't read at all.

This thing looks a little familiar, a lot like the ...... in the TV series Tiger Talisman!

Ye Jinyu clenched the jade in a dumbfounded manner, if it was really a tiger talisman, it was definitely not Ye Rutong's. But she hid it so carefully, could it be that this thing really killed her?

Then it's very likely that it is Hou Ye's, wasn't he demoted here? An idle marquis has a tiger talisman in his hand that can be used to dispatch troops, which... The amount of information is too much, and it is already more than her load.

Knock knock, there was a knock on the door outside.

Ye Jinyu's hand shook, hurriedly stuffed things into his sleeve, stabilized his voice and said, "Come in!" ”

The door opened, Ling Zhao walked in and saw a new futon spread out on the bed, and immediately asked, "It turns out that you are looking for the futon, and this kind of thing will be handed over to me in the future, hey, how is this mattress broken?" ”

Ye Jinyu patted the bed and said: "I think the bed board is a little hard and I want to spread an extra layer, the futon is dismantled by me, I am afraid that the cotton inside will become moldy if it is left for too long." But it's fine, you can take it out and clean it up. ”

accidentally got a tiger talisman, Ye Jinyu didn't fall asleep all night, thinking about how to place it.

Keep it on, and it will turn into an invisible bomb that could blow her to pieces at any moment.

Throw it away, in case it is picked up by people with bad intentions, maybe it will set off a bloody storm in vain.

And is this thing Hou Ye's? What is Ye Rutong hiding it for?

Before thinking of a perfect solution, Ye Jinyu could only wrap up the things and hide them on himself. After calming down for a while, sleepiness swept over, but as soon as she closed her eyes, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Girl, are you up? The lark came over and said that he had brought something for you, so please go over and pick it yourself. Ling Zhao's voice came in from outside the door.

Ye Jinyu, who was already weak-hearted, was completely sleepy when he heard the name Skylark, Huo Ran jumped out of bed, hurriedly put on his clothes and hid his things.

After washing up, he went downstairs and asked Ling Zhao in a low voice, "Why did you suddenly come over to deliver something?" Nothing else? ”

Ling Zhao shook his head and said he didn't know.

Downstairs, the lark was already waiting in the flower hall, and there were more than a dozen brand-new weapons on the table next to him.

There are knives, swords, daggers, hidden arrows, repeaters, and various long, short, and soft whips.

"These are the best weapons that Master Hou ordered people to collect from all over the country, do you like them?" The lark smiled flatteringly.

Ye Jinyu was a little confused, so it was true that Hou Ye said last time that he wanted to give her a gift, but why?

"I don't need this, it's a pity to keep it. It's not as good as ......."

"Miss Ye, these are all a piece of Hou Ye's heart, and I can't help but accept it." Skylark interrupted her, reminding.

Ye Jinyu thought about it for a while, then pointed to the soft whip and compromised: "Then leave it behind." ”

Skylark nodded, "Let Ling Zhao put away the rest first." ”

Sure enough, they are always so authoritarian! Ye Jinyu knew that no matter how much he refused, he couldn't change anything, so he picked up the soft whip and said, "Thank you Lord Hou for the reward, I will cherish it." ”

The lark nodded in satisfaction, and then went back to his life!

Ye Jinyu also went upstairs and slept for two hours, and went to Qin Miaoyin for lunch. Later, when Qin Miaoyin asked about returning to Qi Mansion, her mood became heavy again, and after thinking about it again and again, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Miaoyin, have you heard of the Tiger Fu?" ”

"I've heard of it, what's wrong?" Qin Miaoyin replied casually.

"Have you seen it, and what does it look like?" Ye Jinyu asked again.

Qin Miaoyin thought for a while before saying: "I haven't seen it, but I've heard that it is a jade carved tiger, divided into two, and there should be some words engraved on it." ”

Ye Jinyu took a deep breath and asked, "Who is this thing usually in someone's hands?" ”
