Chapter Twenty-Three: Homelessness
During this period, Lu Min said a lot of things about Mu Yuyan's past, and Ye Ruotang also listened very seriously.
I was only twelve years old at the time, begging on the street, and because I was young, I was always bullied by other beggars.
One day I was really hungry, so I stole a bun, but I was found by the shopkeeper and chased me for three streets. I didn't feel any pain with the stick, and I desperately stuffed the bun into my mouth, as if I could live with the bun.
The shopkeeper stopped when he got tired, and kicked me a few times before leaving, and I lay on the ground motionless, and I thought I was going to die like that.
Until, a man stopped in front of me and stretched out his hand to me.
That was the first time I saw the general, who was shorter and skinny than I was, but those eyes looked at you as if to see you through.
He asked me if I would like to follow him, and I said yes without even thinking about it.
It was the first time I entered the Mu Mansion, the first time I wore new clothes, the first time I had a serious meal, and I swore to myself that I would follow him no matter what.
I was fifteen years old when I first went to war, and the general was only fourteen years old.
I was so frightened that I followed the general with my sword in my hand.
In fact, at that time, the general was also afraid, his hands were shaking, and his feet were shaking, but he kept comforting me, "Don't be afraid, just kill them"
So I hid aside and watched the general kill all those Hu people with a sword, one by one.
But when I got to the back, something was wrong, no matter what I called the general, the general did not stop, the horn of retreat sounded several times, the general still did not stop, so I chased after it, ran farther and farther, chased farther and farther, until a group of Hu people rushed out from the other side of the hill, and at that time we knew that we had fallen into the tricks of the Hu people.
When we wanted to kill back, it was too late, so we were knocked unconscious by the Hu people and brought back.
The Hu people were brutal, beating us over and over again, trying to get words out of our mouths, but the general didn't say it, and I didn't dare to say it, so I could only grit my teeth and endure it.
I thought I would die at the hands of the Hu people, but I didn't want to let the general and me go back on the third day.
"Who's that girl?" Ye Ruotang asked with some curiosity.
Lu Min shook his head, "It should be the princess of the Hu people"
"Oh~" Ye Ruotang nodded.
Ye Ruotang turned his head to look at Mu Yuyan, "It turns out that General Ning Yuan, who is beautiful in the eyes of outsiders, has suffered no less than others."
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Ye Ruotang stood up and startled Lu Min on the side.
"What's wrong?" Lu Min asked.
It's been two days since I came out, so I have to go back quickly.
"I'm going home, I've been out for so long, my father should be worried"
"Then you wait" Lu Min walked out and brought a horse, "You can ride this horse back"
Ye Ruotang looked at the horse, "You just let me go like this, aren't you afraid that I'm really a bad guy who hurts the general?" ”
Lu Min shook his head, "You live more easily than any of us"
Ye Ruotang didn't understand the meaning of his words, but he didn't have time to ask in detail, but when he thought of riding a horse, he had a moment of despair, when he came, he was riding a horse, and his bones were about to fall apart, and now he went back to ride it.
But now she doesn't seem to have a choice.
After getting on the horse with difficulty, he touched the horse's nose and said, "Brother Ma, run slowly, I'm not in a hurry"
Unexpectedly, the horse raised its hind hooves and rubbed it on the ground a few times, and ran out as if it had taken a stimulant.
Ye Ruotang hugged the horse's neck tightly, for fear of falling.
Lu Min looked at the back of the girl leaving, "Maybe the general needs a clean person to accompany him"
The horse ran very fast, and it was estimated that it would take half an hour to reach Ye's Mansion, Ye Ruotang turned over and dismounted, and sat down on the side, "Brother Ma, I'm not in a hurry, what are you doing running so fast?" ”
The horse seemed to understand her words, and threw up his hind hooves, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, I have long legs"
Ye Ruotang slowed down for a long time before slowly getting up, and found a pillar to tie the horse to the pillar.
The door of Ye Mansion was closed, and Ye Ruotang had a sense of foreboding.
stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and the door creaked after a while, and it was the housekeeper who came out, but the moment he saw Ye Ruotang, his face changed suddenly.
"Miss, why are you back?"
"This is my home, why can't I come back?"
Ye Ruotang was about to walk in, but was stopped by the housekeeper, "Miss, let's go outside and hide first"
"What does the butler mean by that?"
The housekeeper only shook his head, and then slammed the door shut, making Ye Ruotang confused.
???
Ye Ruotang knocked on the door again, and it was still the housekeeper who opened the door, but there was a cold voice behind him, "Housekeeper, let her in"
It's Ye Hecong.
The housekeeper turned sideways and let the girl in, and as soon as Ye Ruotang entered the door, he saw Ye Hecong's cold face, and couldn't help but shudder.
"Big sister, do you know you're back now?" Ye Zhinan said on the side.
Ye Ruotang ignored her, walked up to Ye He and called "Father" very respectfully
But before the girl could react, there was a hot pain on her face.
"Father, what do you mean by that?"
"I don't go home at night, my eldest sister has lost the face of the Ye family," Ye Zhinan snorted coldly.
"I'm talking to my father, it's not my second sister's turn to choke" Ye Ruotang had already seen that Ye Zhinan was not pleasing to the eye.
"Shut up" Ye Hecong roared angrily, startling Ye Ruotang with a spirit.
Ye Ruotang suddenly felt a little ridiculous, so he laughed.
This made Ye He even more annoyed, "Housekeeper, please family law"
"Old man........."
"Please have a family law"
The butler trotted all the way to the ancestral hall and got a whip.
Ye He took the whip and greeted Ye Ruotang mercilessly.
There was a pain in my body, and it hurt to the bones.
Ye Ruotang glared at Ye He hatefully, "Why did my father beat me?" ”
"Just because you are my daughter of Yehecong"
Ye Ruotang listened to it, laughed even more, and tears of laughter came out, "Father is really ridiculous, as soon as I was born, my father threw me to Beiyuan to be raised by the nurse; In the past ten years, how many times has my father visited me in Beiyuan? Why can Ye Zhinan go out of the house at will, but when it comes to me, it is a thousand and ten thousand? ”
Facing Ye Ruotang's questioning, Ye Hecong's face turned black to the ground, and he shook the whip in his hand and hit the girl again.
"How dare you talk back"
"Why don't you dare?"
The two looked at each other, and Ye Ruotang's eyes were cold, like the lake water in the depths of winter, clear and cold.
"In this case, from now on, you will no longer be the eldest lady of Ye Mansion, and from now on, there will only be one eldest lady of Ye Mansion, and that is Ye Zhinan."
"Who is rare about you, the eldest lady of Ye Mansion?"
After Ye Ruotang finished speaking, he walked away, leaving only Ye Hecong's incredible face.
Ye Ruotang returned to Beiyuan, but he didn't see the green bamboo and the green diaphragm.
"Where have all the people gone?"
After searching around, I couldn't find anyone, and as soon as I sat down, I heard a voice talking, and immediately ran out.
When Lu Zhu and Lu Yan saw the girl, they were stunned for a moment, and then looked outside and closed the door tightly.
"Miss, why are you back?"
"I'm here to say goodbye to you"
When the two heard this, they looked at each other.
Ye Ruotang continued, "I have severed the father-daughter relationship with Ye Hecong, and I will no longer be the eldest lady of the Ye family from now on."
"Miss" Lu Yan took the girl's hand, and tears instantly flowed down.
"Miss, I'll go with you," said Midoriku.
Ye Ruotang shook his head, "You stay in Ye Mansion well, you are all clever girls, you will definitely please the master"
"So where is the eldest lady going?"
"I don't know, where to go"
With that, he went back to his room and packed his luggage.
When Luzhu and Luqi saw it, they also hurried in to help clean up, "Miss, remember to write to us to keep us safe"
"Good"
Ye Ruotang left from the back door, and Lu Zhu and Lu Yan looked at it for a long time before going back.
took away the horse in front of Yefu "Brother Ma, since my father doesn't want me anymore, then let's go back"
There was another rush, and it was estimated that Ye Ruotang would arrive at Biqing Garden at noon.
Lu Min looked at the girl who had gone and returned, and asked with some doubts, "Why did the girl come back again?" ”
"My father doesn't want me anymore" said lightly.
On the contrary, Lu Min asked with a surprised face, "Why doesn't the girl's father want you anymore?" ”
"Hey, it's a long story, I'll talk to you slowly when I have time in the future."
"Good"
After sitting for a while, Ye Ruotang asked slowly, "Is there still a shortage of maids in your house?" ”
"Huh?" Lu Min was a little surprised.
"If not, forget it"
"When the general wakes up, the girl can ask, after all, I can't do these things."
When Ye Ruotang heard this, he was very hopeful, so he nodded and agreed.
Early the next morning
Gu Su'an ran to Mu Yuyan's room with the boiled medicine.
As soon as he saw Ye Ruotang, he asked with some surprise, "Girl, you haven't left yet."
"Hmm........... Is the medicine boiled? Ye Ruotang looked into the bowl, red fluttering.
"yes, I've stayed up for a day and a night, come and help"
Ye Ruotang immediately stepped forward to help Mu Yuyan up.
Gu Su'an carefully fed the medicine into the man's mouth, and it took a stick of incense before drinking all the medicine.
"Luo Ge and Lu Min?"
"Lu Min hasn't gotten up yet, Luo ......... Luo Ge was called back by the shopkeeper of the medicine hall early in the morning, saying that he would come back in a while."
Gu Su'an smiled: "The girl didn't sleep all night? ”
"Hmm"
"Let's go to bed first."
"Aren't you too?"
Gu Su patted his chest, "Even if I don't sleep for three days, I'm still alive."
After Mu Yuyan drank the medicine, her face gradually improved, Ye Ruotang yawned, and said, "Then I'll go back to sleep first, and call me if there's something."
"Good"
Ye Ruotang looked for the room where he started, lay down comfortably, and fell asleep in a moment.
It's like having a very strange dream.
"Ruotang, come here" A gorgeously dressed woman waved at her.
Ye Ruotang walked over slowly, and the woman took her hand and walked inside.
It is a large area of peach blossoms, flying all over the sky.
The woman said to her, "Do you like it here?" ”
Ye Ruotang nodded.
"And how about you've been living here ever since?"
Ye Ruotang shook his head, "Not good"
"Why?"
"There are only peach blossoms here, no one"
The woman seemed to be unhappy, and walked a little farther away, "Then you do something for me, and I'll let you leave here"
"What's the matter?"
"Kill Him for Me"
Immediately afterwards, a man appeared in front of Ye Ruotang, none other than Mu Yuyan.
Ye Ruotang stepped back, "No..... No, I can't kill him."
"Why?"
"Because he's the one I like"
"No," said the woman with a smile, "you are going to kill him, he is the enemy of the world."
"No, he's not, he's General Ning Yuan, he's General Ning Yuan who is loved by the people"
The man in front of him slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Ruotang with a smile, "Not now"
The man's face and the woman's face slowly coincided, and Ye Ruotang couldn't tell the difference.
