When Qu Wu saw the soldiers enter the Sikong Mansion, he had to wait patiently, all he wanted was to let Ziyan take a look at her former home and relieve her lovesickness.

After a while, the soldier led a middle-aged woman to open the door and walked out, and asked Qu Wu, "Sir, who are you looking for?" ”

At this time, Ziyan on the side looked surprised when she saw this middle-aged woman, and asked, "Are you Aunt Ye?" How did you live here? ”

At this time, the person who was called Aunt Ye by Ziyan was also surprised: "Ah, you are... Ziyan? ”

"yes." Ziyan nodded.

"I really didn't expect it, you have changed so much. Let's go into the house and talk about it. Who is this gentleman? ”

"This is my benefactor, Mr. Qu Wu." Zi Yan replied, at this time, it was Qu Wu's turn to be a little surprised, Zi Yan, who had always tried to act as Mrs. Qu Wu, how could she retire in front of this Mrs. Ye.

"Oh, Mr. Qu is auspicious."

"Mrs. Ye is auspicious." Qu Wu returned the salute.

"Miss Ziyan, Mr. Qu, come in with me."

Mrs. Ye then brought Zi Yan and Qu Wu into the compound.

It is a non-luxurious but chic three-way courtyard, with a rectangular front yard and a cobblestone pavement lined with green grass on both sides.

The front yard is two gates, the two doors are connected to the corridor around the inner courtyard, the inside is a very spacious inner courtyard, the center of the inner courtyard is a pool and a courtyard, the two sides are divided into two wings, east and west, and the lobby is opposite the second door. Zi Yan knew that behind the lobby, there was also a three-gate and a backyard, which was the origin of the three-entry courtyard pattern.

Ziyan followed Mrs. Ye with a lot of worries, because this Mrs. Ye's son Ye Zhi was the person with whom Ziyan's family was married, and after Ziyan's grandfather was cut off by King Chumu, the Ye family actually withdrew from the marriage as soon as possible. Now that Ye Zhi's family lives in her family's house, how can she not have mixed feelings and mixed tastes?

After entering the lobby, Mrs. Ye invited Ziyan and Qu Wu to sit down and let the maid serve tea, and went into the inner room to invite Mr. Sikong Ye Xiu.

After a while, Ye Xiu walked in through the side door of the lobby, greeted Zi Yan and introduced Qu Wu to each other before sitting down.

"Ziyan, take the liberty of asking, where is your grandfather, Mr. Zi Uncle?"

Ziyan heard that Mr. Ye asked her grandfather, and thinking that this was the place where her grandfather had lived for decades, tears couldn't help but flow: "Lord Sikong, grandpa passed away a few months ago."

"Oh, it's so unfortunate. Ziyan, you may wonder, how could it be that our Ye family lived in your yard, right? ”

Ziyan nodded with tears in her eyes.

"After Mr. Zibo was demoted, this mansion was sent by King Chu Mu for four years. Later, many people complained about Mr. Zibo, and King Mu's position was already stable, and Mr. Zibo would no longer pose any threat to King Mu, so King Mu decided to restore the title and return the mansion and fief for Mr. Zibo, but the people who searched for your family couldn't find anything. Mr. Ye Xiu said.

Zi Yan was even more sad when she mentioned her family, they were all involved, some were killed, and some were forced to leave their homes.

Later, King Mu prepared to hand over this mansion to the minister as the residence where the owner had lost contact. After I heard about it, I took the initiative to find King Mu, Chen Qingzi's granddaughter had married a dog, and I hope that our Ye family will take care of the family property, the purpose is to preserve the property of the son family as completely as possible, to avoid irrelevant people from arbitrarily ruining the property of the cheap family, and it is also to atone for the Ye family's withdrawal from the marriage after Uncle Factor's debasement. In fact, our family regrets the divorce, and we really can't live with your parents, let alone you. Mr. Ye Xiu continued.

Only then did Qu Wu know that the Ye family had such a relationship with Zi Yan, and also understood why Zi Yan did not introduce her relationship with Qu Wu in front of Mrs. Ye.

"This matter has passed, and under the circumstances at that time, it should be out of helplessness that you drew a line with the Zi family, Zi Yan doesn't blame you. But Uncle Ye, Ziyan didn't understand what you meant before, did you mean that you took care of this house, which means that this house still belongs to our family? ”

"Of course, as long as you can prove that it is indeed the son of the family, and get the certificate of the deed of this mansion, this house can be returned to you, which is also what King Mu meant."

"This proof ......" Zi Yan was just about to say that she had the contract certificate, Qu Wu gave her a look, and she immediately swallowed what she was going to say. Qu Wu feared that there was fraud in this.

"Mr. Ye is really bright and righteous, which is admirable. However, there is no doubt that this woman is Ziyan, and many people who knew her before can prove it. Qu Wu said that he deliberately did not contract with Ziyan, intending to remind Ziyan.

Zi Yan thought for a while and said, "Uncle Ye understands the righteousness, which makes Zi Yan deeply moved. Ziyan spent her childhood in this mansion, and almost every corner is very familiar, I wonder how Uncle Ye can believe that the little girl is Ziyan? ”

"This is very simple, as long as the person I believe in can prove that you are Ziyan, and then come up with the real contract, it's fine." Mr. Ye said.

Zi Yan didn't know what to say for a while to make Ye Xiu and his wife recognize that she was Zi Yan. At this time, Mrs. Ye said to Ziyan, "Can I borrow a step to talk to you."

Zi Yan thought for a while and said, "Okay."

After Mrs. Ye nodded apologetically to Qu Wu, she took Ziyan to the backyard.

"Zi Yan, after all, we haven't seen each other for six years, so you have to forgive us for being cautious, and you must be sure that you are Zi Yan, because this is not a trivial matter." Mrs. Ye said to Ziyan.

"I can understand this, I was less than ten years old when I left Yingdu, and there have been many changes over the years."

"Also, before our Ye family and your son's family divorced, it was indeed a little helpless, and our Ye Zhi has never been engaged again, since you are now in Yingdu, once your official identity is determined, you see if our Ye family and the son family can continue their relationship and re-engage. Now that your family is gone, you can only make your own decisions about this matter, you can mention any conditions as much as possible, as long as our Ye family can do it, we will try our best to satisfy you. ”

"Mrs. Ye, although I also understand the reason for your family's divorce, this incident really hurts me a lot."

"I know that, so we want to try to make up for it. Ziyan, I want to know, in addition to the injury, is it because of Mr. Qu? ”

"This matter had nothing to do with Mr. Qu before, but now I think that what you said has nothing to do with Mr. Qu, he is my savior, and he is also the person I trust the most, a relative like my brother."

"In this case, I think we should still be able to give up our past suspicions, after all, our Ye family was also very passive and under great pressure under the circumstances at that time. I know this matter is too sudden, we don't ask you to agree now, but please believe in the sincerity of our Ye family. ”

"Let me think about it, okay?" Zi Yan didn't want to refuse resolutely, but when she thought that this mansion was still occupied by the Ye family, she was unwilling to say that it would be unfavorable for the other party to have no hope.

After returning to the lobby, Ziyan and Qu Wu decided to take their leave.

"Lord Sikong, Mrs. Ye, it's a pleasure to meet you today. Although the house contract is not in Ziyan's hands now, we have deep admiration for Lord Sikong's high wind and bright festival. Qu came to Yingdu for the first time, and he liked to make friends with positive people like Lord Sikong, and he just made a small business in Yingdu today, if Mr. Ye does not dislike it, please invite Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye to Mingyue Restaurant for a drink at noon tomorrow, can you? Qu Wu deliberately said that the contract was not in Ziyan's hands, so that Ye Xiu and his wife could let down their guard and go to the appointment.

Mr. Ye hesitated for a moment, but still agreed: "Mr. Qu is too polite, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate."

Seeing that Mr. Ye should come down, Qu Wu and Ziyan got up to say goodbye.
