Li Sui's body paused, and slowly withdrew his hand.

"I just wanted to ask Anjou about the dream, I think the incident of her being abducted a few days ago is a bit strange, too coincidental. Do you have any thoughts? Ye Jinyu ignored the flickering loss in the man's eyes and asked.

"The lark is still investigating this matter, and she has no clue for the time being, as for Anru Meng, she doesn't look abnormal." Li Sui thought for a moment and said seriously: "You don't have to worry about these things, Ben Hou will take care of them." ”

"What about Miaoyin's business, that's it?" Ye Jinyu clenched the hand hidden in the fox fur.

Li Sui knew that she and Qin Miaoyin had a good relationship, so she hesitated for a while, and finally didn't decide to tell her everything.

"I've already arranged this, I'll tell you when I have the results, okay?" Li Sui said softly.

Ye Jinyu slowly let go of her hand, she knew that the water in the Hou Mansion was deep, and there were still many secrets hidden in the Hou Mansion. They must have their own plans for what they do, and it was just an accident that she would appear here, she didn't plan to wade into their troubled waters, and naturally she didn't have the qualifications and position to ask him what he could do for her.

"Listen to Master Hou." Ye Jinyu nodded calmly, and then asked, "Since these things have been handled by the Hou Ye, what about me going back to the Qi family?" ”

"Ben Hou will not go back on his word, and will set off after dawn." Li Sui patted the top of her head to reassure.

Ye Jinyu was stunned and looked at him in amazement.

When she was in her dream just now, did Yun Yu also pat the top of her head like this? It's so weird!

However, she didn't want such an answer, "The house has not been peaceful in the past two days, and the Hou Ye must be very tired to recuperate from his injuries and deal with things." If you can't get out of the way, I'll go back myself. ”

Li Sui stood up and looked at her and admonished, "It's almost dawn, let's sleep for a while, and when the time comes, Benhou will send someone to call you." After saying that, he turned around and left.

At one o'clock in the morning, the carriage of the Marquis of Wu'an appeared outside the gate of the Qi Mansion, and the Qi family, who had already received the letter, was already waiting at the door to greet them.

Ye Jinyu stepped out of the carriage and took a look, in addition to the housekeeper and Qi Guanyu, there was also a strange man among the people who came out to greet him. Looking at the twenty-seven or eight-year-old, with a very short beard, elegant and mature.

This should be Ye Rutong's eldest cousin-in-law, right?

Sure enough, the other party saluted Hou Ye and called himself Tong Jihuan.

Li Yi has prepared a lot of gifts here, Qi Guanyu has no joy and no worries, although these represent the Hou Ye's love for his cousin, but in the eyes of others, such a preference will only bring unwarranted disasters to the Qi family and his cousin.

"Hou Ye, please, my father still has some official business that he can't get out of, and he can't come out in time to greet him, and I hope Hou Ye will forgive me. My father would come over when he was done. Qi Guanyu quietly ordered someone to move things into the mansion, and made a gesture of invitation to Li Yi.

"It doesn't matter, Qi Envoy Jun is the parent official of this side, and the people's affairs are the most important." Li Yi didn't mind, and then Ye Jinyu was invited to the backyard by Qin Xiang beside Mrs. Qi.

I thought that I would see the eldest cousin in the old lady's house, but after she went, the house was lively, a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses were chasing Qi Mingyi and playing, followed by two grandmothers and two maidservants, carefully protecting them for fear that they would fall.

The old lady was watching happily, and when she saw Ye Jinyu coming in, she didn't let her salute anymore, and called people to her side to watch the children play together.

Ye Jinyu was carrying four pieces of jade with excellent color in her arms, which she had selected from the warehouse, and they were all uncarved, and the size was just right for carving into accessories and wearing.

Each of the four children was together.

Eight-year-old Qi Rong looked at Qi Mingyi, who was older than eleven, and sat beside his mother to watch them play, occasionally laughing with interest, but he would not participate, like a little adult. Even if he took the gift from Ye Jinyu's hand, he was not as happy as other children, but he thanked Ye Jinyu very politely.

Ye Jinyu looked at his restrained appearance, and suddenly found that it was very similar to Qi Guanyu, and it was immediately clear. This little cousin must be very much admirer of his brother!

"Uncle, why don't you see your cousin?" She searched around and didn't find anyone who could get the right number.

Mrs. Qi sighed, held her hand and said, "Hui'er is such a character, she came back and heard about you, and she has already quarreled with the master twice." I also said that I was going to the Hou Mansion to bring you back, but I stopped me, and now I heard that you are coming back, so I won't go to the master to reason again. ”

So, the eldest cousin is defending her?! Ye Jinyu was deeply surprised, the Qi family's kindness to Ye Rutong was really beyond her imagination.

"Why don't you send someone to call your cousin back, I'll tell my cousin that she finally came back, and she can't always make trouble with her uncle about this matter." Ye Jinyu was very moved in his heart.

"It doesn't matter, Hui'er has been like this since she was a child, she can quarrel with the master for a few words, and the master is also happy in his heart. I'll be back in a minute, just wait here. "Mrs. Qi is not worried about this.

Ye Jinyu understood, and he no longer persuaded him. After that, the old lady asked her if she had been wronged in the Hou Mansion, and Ye Jinyu also reported good news and not bad news, listening to their tone, she estimated that she didn't know about Ye Yuanxi's poisoning, and she didn't take the initiative to mention it, so as not to worry them.

Qi Minhui came back after about a stick of incense, her face was full of unhappiness, obviously she didn't meet her father's requirements. 5200

"Jin Yu has seen my cousin, I haven't seen her for a long time, and my cousin is really more and more radiant. People who become mothers are different, and their temperament is more gentle and luxurious. Ye Jinyu got up and saluted the other party, took the opportunity to take a few looks, and found that this eldest cousin looked very much like Mrs. Qi, but her aura was more domineering than that of Mrs. Qi, and at first glance she was not the kind of character who would be easily manipulated.

Qi Minhui looked at her, with some surprise in her eyes, she always felt that Cousin Lu felt a little different, maybe they hadn't seen her for too long. The little girl has grown up now, and there will indeed be some changes.

"I haven't seen him for a long time, and Jin Yu has learned to praise his cousin." Qi Minhui tapped the tip of her nose, pulled her to sit down, and said solemnly: "I know everything about you, this time my father did something wrong, if you have any grievances, just tell your cousin, with your cousin protecting you, you don't have to be afraid of anything." ”

Ye Jinyu covered his mouth and laughed, looked at the old lady and Mrs. Qi, and then asked Qi Minhui rhetorically: "The other party is Master Hou, cousin is really not afraid?" ”

"What kind of marquis is he, he has an empty title, and when he is in the capital, he will only rely on his ancestral shadow to eat and wait for death, and he has long been notorious. How can you live well with such a person? "Qi Minhui has lived in the capital for three years and has heard a lot of ridiculous things about this Wu'an Hou, so she is so angry with her father's actions.

"Cousin, I know you feel sorry for me, but I'm doing well in the Hou Mansion now, and you don't have to quarrel with your uncle anymore." Ye Jinyu smiled and said softly.

Qi Minhui didn't believe her words, "But I heard that there are already five girls in the backyard of the Hou Mansion now, and the days will be long in the future, can you guarantee that the Hou Ye will only spoil you in the future?" It's not just the Hou Mansion in Yingcheng, there are still a lot of beauties in the Hou Mansion in the capital, maybe they will all be taken over one day, how can they be happy with such a man. ”

"Zi Fei Fish, the joy of Anzhi Fish?" Ye Jinyu said with a smile: "I am very touched by my cousin's kindness, but I am already from the Hou Mansion, if I forcibly leave now, it will only make people think that our Qi family has gone back on its word, and it is not cost-effective to offend a Hou master because of this." ”

"Jin Yu, tell your cousin, are you emotionally attracted to that Wu Anhou?" Qi Minhui frowned and looked at her worriedly.

"No, and it won't." Ye Jinyu shook his head and said firmly.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became a little strange, and Ye Jinyu also felt it, worried that he had said the wrong thing, and was about to open his mouth to make amends, but he heard Qi Minhui laugh twice.

"That's good, if you don't feel emotional, you won't be sad. You are bent on thinking about our Qi family, but it makes my cousin feel even more guilty, you are a sacrifice for the Qi family, which the Qi family owes you. Qi Minhui held her hand tightly and said earnestly: "Go back and think about it again, if you regret it, my cousin is not afraid of offending Wu Anhou, and she will definitely bring you back." ”

Qi Minhui and Qi Guanyu are worthy of being sisters and brothers, and the words they say are really similar to their style of doing things.

After having lunch at Qi's house, Li Sui planned to go home, but Ye Jinyu thought that he still had something to consult Qi Guanyu, but he couldn't find the opportunity to be alone.

After thinking about it, he quietly stuffed Qi Guanyu with a note before leaving.

On the way back, she asked Li Sui: "Master Hou, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I want to go out and walk around these days, is it okay?" ”

Li Sui thought about it for a while, met her expectant eyes, and then agreed, and then added: "Bring a few more guards." ”

It doesn't matter if she brings a few more, anyway, she doesn't plan to run away for the time being, Ye Jinyu thanked happily.

The next day, after lunch, she went out in the car, and Ling Zhao was surprised to learn that she was going to the Yamen prison, and immediately persuaded: "Those filthy places are all extremely vicious, it's too dangerous, let's not go." ”

Ye Jinyu smiled indifferently and comforted her that she didn't need to be nervous, but he didn't explain why he went there.

The less people know about the wonderful sound, the safer!

The carriage stopped under the willow tree a few feet away from the prison, Qi Guanyu came as promised, and saw the carriage of the Hou Mansion from a distance, and there were four guards standing next to him, and he breathed a sigh of relief while still having some indescribable emotions in his heart.

Yesterday, he was suddenly stuffed with a note by his cousin in public, he was startled, and when he saw the note and knew that his cousin was going to ask him to meet, and the way was so vague, he couldn't help but think too much.

But now that she is surrounded by so many people, she knows that his worries are superfluous, and he is also annoyed that he is self-inflicted, and he is not as free and easy as his cousin.

Ye Jinyu knew that her actions would definitely reach the ears of Hou Ye in the end, so she had no intention of avoiding these people around her from the beginning. Let them see, they can't guess what she's really trying to do anyway.

"Cousin, I suddenly called you out because I had something to ask you, and I thought about it, and only you can help me." Ye Jinyu stood next to the carriage and said to Shi Li.

Qi Guanyu saw that her attitude was so frank, so she also calmly asked, "Jin Yu might as well say anything directly." ”

"I want to find a tattoo master and learn the craft from him. I heard that there was a master in the yamen who specialized in tattooing for prisoners, so I wanted my cousin to help introduce me. Ye Jinyu said.

Qi Guanyu frowned and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to learn this from a girl?" ”

Ye Jinyu laughed embarrassedly, "I know it's strange to learn this, but I'm just interested in this, cousin won't agree?" ”

This seemed to be the first time his cousin was spoiled by him, Qi Guanyu's eyes flashed, his heart was soft and warm, and his tone became much softer: "Really just interested?" There is no other reason? ”

"Really, I swear, just interested. Anyway, I'm idle, I'm idle, find something to learn, and I can pass the time. Ye Jinyu said with sincerity on his face.
