Chapter 455: The Baby Girl Eighteen Years Ago
The old man's cultivation is only at the fifth level of the Xuan Rank, and his strength is not too strong.
And he is not one of the royal people that Ye Lingyu has subdued.
"Who the hell are you?" Meng Xuejiao drank.
It was impossible for her to believe that an ordinary person from the royal family would be put in by the Red Dust Knife, and it was especially when Ye Lingyu was weak.
Ye Lingyu stared at the old man for a while, and said calmly: "It's okay, let him come over, he is someone I recognize." ”
Meng Xue was stunned, Ye Lingyu actually knew someone in the royal family, and she didn't know anything about it.
The old man hurriedly bowed down and leaned in: "Young Master Ye still remembers the old slave, which is really the luck of the old slave." ”
Young Master Ye, Mengxue tilted her head to look at Ye Lingyu.
Ye Lingyu beckoned her and asked her to help herself up. At the same time, he said: "His name is Zhong Pu, and he used to be the steward of Ye Mansion, and I used to call him Uncle Zhong." ”
Meng Xue frowned, Ye Mansion? Could it be that the one in Fengcheng is referring to?
"In the past, in Ye Mansion, everyone was prejudiced against me, but he still regarded me as a person. Heavenly punishment happened, and I thought he was gone. ”
Zhong Pu had a smile of shame on his face: "Young Master Ye still remembers the past, and the old slave thanked Young Master Ye first." In fact, when the lord entered the imperial city, I also followed, and I happened to avoid the punishment of heaven, so that I could survive until now. ”
Hearing him say this, Ye Lingyu didn't show surprise, obviously expected.
In his impression, Zhong Pu followed Ye Cheng most of the time, so when he saw that Ye Cheng was still alive, he also guessed that Zhong Pu might still be alive.
It's just that even if you're still alive, it's royalty. There is neither kindness nor resentment between Ye Lingyu and him, it can only be regarded as an ordinary relationship. If you have to say it, only he hasn't embarrassed himself before, so that he has a good feeling in his heart, but that's all.
"So you came here in accordance with Ye Cheng's instructions this time?" Ye Lingyu asked.
Zhong Pu was a little hesitant, and lowered his head a little sneeringly: "Master has this meaning, but the main thing is that I want to come over, and there is something I want to tell Young Master Ye." ”
"If you have anything to say, just say it, there's no need to be pretended, you have never called me Young Master Ye before, and besides, I have also made a clear relationship with Ye Cheng now, not Young Master Ye." ”
Zhong Pu swallowed: "Yes, I just came here to tell Ye Shaoxia a past incident, and today I saw the relationship between Ye Shaoxia and the master, I think I should tell Ye Shaoxia about it." ”
"The past?" Ye Lingyu pulled Mengxue to sit down next to him and listened to his next words together.
Zhong Pu paused: "Actually, it's about Mu Xinyao." ”
Ye Lingyu was stunned, this was his mother's name. He didn't know much about his mother, firstly, because he was still young and ignorant of the world when she died, and secondly, his mother barely told him anything about the past.
"Ye Shaoxia may not know that in fact, you are not Mu Xinyao's first child. ”
A thunderbolt exploded in Ye Lingyu's mind: "You just ...... Say what?"
Zhong Pu always hung his head and was respectful: "In fact, a year before Ye Shaoxia was born, Mu Xinyao also gave birth to another baby girl. The moon and day are the same as Ye Shaoxia, but the year is one year older. ”
Girl...... It's a year older...... Isn't that ......
"Sister...... Ye Lingyu's head was full of confusion, he didn't care about the severe pain all over his body, jumped off the ice bed, and grabbed Zhong Pu's shoulder, "Is what you said true? Where is she? You tell me where she is!"
Zhong Pu's shoulder was pinched painfully, but he didn't dare to break free: "Ye Shaoxia calmed down first, in fact, I also made a lot of determination to tell Ye Shaoxia, because even I don't know if this baby girl is still alive now." ”
"What do you mean, tell me clearly!"
Ye Lingyu lifted Zhong Pu up as if he had suddenly lost his mind, but Meng Xue stepped forward to stop him.
It's no wonder that Ye Lingyu is so excited, if there is really such a person in this world, who is his own sister in terms of identity, how can he not be excited after learning about this kind of thing.
"Ye Shaoxia, please calm down first. Zhong Pudao, after Ye Lingyu let go of himself, he began to slowly explain everything he knew, "Mu Xinyao did give birth to a baby girl before giving birth to Ye Shaoxia, and she is also the daughter of the master and Mu Xinyao. It's just that Ye Shaoxia also knows that Mu Xinyao's identity is a maid after all, and the day after the baby girl was born, she was known by the eldest lady...... After that, the eldest lady ordered me to put it in the river......"
Ye Lingyu's anger, which had already calmed down, immediately surged up. Placed in the river...... How could he not know what this meant, and that meant that he was prepared not to spare the life of the baby girl.
Just because she was born to a maid, she was born two days ago and she died for nothing?
Not long after Ye Lingyu recovered from his broken arm, he grabbed Zhong Pu's collar: "So you ......"
"No, no, no......" Zhong Pu hurriedly waved his hand, his face turned pale with fright, "In fact, Mu Xinyao begged me hard, and I have never been ruthless, so I secretly found a group of people and handed them over......"
"Who is it?" Ye Lingyu hurriedly asked.
Zhong Pu wanted to speak several times and stopped, and said hesitantly: "A gang...... Human tooth ......"
Human teeth, that is human traffickers.
In different cities, this kind of person is also not uncommon. They abduct or buy babies and young children from different sources, and when they grow up, they sell them to wealthy merchants and bustards from different sources.
The men worked as coolies, while the women were usually sold to the Qinglou in Huajie or sold to a large family as a concubine.
Ye Lingyu's mind was blank, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
I just learned that I had a relative who was a year older than me, but I immediately learned that it was sold to a human tooth.
A baby who has just been born for two days has not even been weaned, and under such circumstances, how can he live if he sells his teeth to others, or he is no longer alive. Even if he had miraculously survived, he would have been eighteen years old by now, and where would he be now?
Zhong Pu saw that Ye Lingyu didn't react, so he mustered up the courage to continue: "That's a group of outsiders, and I don't know where they went. It's just that this incident caused the old man to be angry, so later, after Ye Shaoxia was born, the ladies didn't dare to kill Ye Shaoxia, so they let Ye Shaoxia stay in Ye Mansion. ”
Ye Lingyu sneered frequently, it turned out that he was able to stay in the Ye Mansion, but he was still blessed by the sister he had never met.
can imagine what it must be like for his mother to watch her two-day-old child leave her. And Ye Cheng was still angry about this kind of thing? It's just a joke, what kind of person would be angry about this kind of thing?
"So you don't know if she's still alive?" Ye Lingyu sat back on the bed weakly and asked coldly.
Zhong Pu was full of shame: "I really don't know this." However, at that time, the child was only two days old, and it was handed over to the human tooth, and it was probably not very likely that he would be alive. ”
He said as he observed Ye Lingyu's reaction. It was he who sold the baby girl to Yazi, and if Ye Lingyu wanted to be angry with him, he would have nothing to say.
"Are you wondering if I will kill you?" Ye Lingyu seemed to see through his mind at a glance, and said coldly.
Zhong Pu nodded slightly.
Ye Lingyu sneered and said, "I won't take your life, because if it weren't for you, she would have died eighteen years ago." Although you sold her to human teeth, I can't wait to break your body into pieces, but you get out, it's better not to let me see it for the rest of your life, otherwise I will take your dog's life with my own hands. ”
Zhong Pu hurriedly bowed: "Actually, if she is still alive, Ye Shaoxia may be able to rely on a clue to find her...... When she was born, Mu Xinyao sewed a sachet with her own hands. The sachet had the baby's name on it, named Ye Yuyi, and the sachet hung around the baby's neck, and I didn't take it off when I handed it to the human tooth. Although it may be small, Ye Shaoxia might as well take this as a clue. ”
After speaking, Zhong Pu put a jade bottle on the ground and strode away without looking back.
Meng Xue picked up the jade bottle, opened it, and found that it was a bottle of healing elixir. The level of the pill is not low, and it should be only available to people with status.
handed the pill to Ye Lingyu, but found that Ye Lingyu was looking up at the top of his head, as if the whole person was wandering out of the world. A burst of crying, a burst of laughter, a sad expression, as if the injustice of the whole world is focused on him, but when he laughs, he looks silly again. kept chanting three words "Ye Yuyi" in his mouth.
His constantly changing expression made Meng Xue a little unbearable.
After a long time, I saw him come back to his senses, Meng Xue stepped forward, handed him the elixir, leaned against him and sat down: "There are some things in the world, you have to believe that miracles exist." The master said to me before that if God takes away from you, he will make up for it with something else, and maybe this is the hope that God has made up for you. ”
"Is it a miracle......" Ye Lingyu pondered these words, rubbing the jade bottle in his hand. If that person is still alive, where is he now, and where are you going to find it? Knowing that this possibility is almost non-existent, he still has some unspeakable desire in his heart, "I never believed in miracles before, I only believed in the power I held in my hands. Only what is truly grasped is worthy of belief. ”
Meng Xue looked at his side face from the side, and her slender eyelashes trembled slightly: "Why don't you believe in miracles, do you remember what you did in Aoxue City?" You are still from the Yellow Rank, standing out from the crowd, even if you win in the face of the Xuan Rank, this is not a miracle." ”
Ye Lingyu thought about it, bowed his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth had a hint of curvature: "That's right, but then again, you have been with me for so long, why haven't you made any substantial progress at all?"
As he spoke, his hands began to play tricks.
Meng Xue glared at him obliquely.
Probably hearing the news of Ye Yuyi, the heaviness and hesitation that had been wandering in his eyes seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden. This news may happen to be the key to unlocking the depression in his heart.
It is like giving a thirsty person a clear spring, just like giving a drowning person a rope. Meng Xue knew in his heart that the pain that had been accumulated in his heart had been swept away.
Now he has regained the appearance of the immortal disciple of the lustful heart, which can be known from his unscrupulous hands.
I wanted to resist, but after thinking about it, I felt that it would be okay to let him go once. Leaning quietly on his shoulder, enjoying the brief silence before the coming upheaval.
