Chapter 492: Interrogation

Because of the turmoil caused by the marriage, Ye Xiao was inevitably a little depressed, and after walking out of the imperial study in a daze, he didn't even hear the palace maids and eunuchs saluting him along the way.

On the other side, Leping heard that Ye Xiao had entered the palace, so he rushed to find him, and when he saw it from a distance, he happily called several times and jumped up and down towards him.

"Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao!"

Who knew that after shouting several times, the person was as if he hadn't heard it, Le Ping muttered in his heart, what's wrong with this person, why does he look like he can't give up today.

She picked up her skirt and trotted to his side, grabbing him by the arm: "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Why didn't you respond to the shouting I just had? ”

Hearing a familiar voice ringing in his ears, Ye Xiao noticed the delicate face beside him.

"County Lord......" His expression was not as happy as when he usually met, but his brows were locked, and he was inexplicably sad.

Yun Leping looked at him and felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "What did my father ask you to say, why do you look preoccupied?" ”

Ye Xiao's throat seemed to be blocked by something, this kind of thing, he didn't want to tell Leping, as a man, he should solve things, not let her also worry.

So Ye Xiao smiled slightly, pretended to be nothing, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's nothing, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty just asked me to discuss some state affairs, I thought about it for a while, and I didn't hear you calling me, by the way, the county lord, do you have something to do with me? ”

Yun Leping didn't answer, but looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Don't change the topic, I haven't heard anything happened to the court recently, besides, even if something really happens, my father won't summon you to the palace twice in one day." ”

As he spoke, his brows frowned slightly, and he asked him with concern: "What happened, was my father talking to you about the marriage of the queen mother, and said something unpleasant?" ”

Ye Xiao naturally couldn't say that the saint was not, so he had to cover it up: "No, don't think about it, the county lord is really just talking about some state affairs." ”

He turned sideways slightly, his eyes were obviously a little evasive, and his Adam's apple was slightly touched, and he was quietly taken into the eyes of Yun Leping.

Although she is not very old, she has been smart and clever since she was a child, how can she not see that Ye Xiao is deliberately prevaricating her. But on the other hand, Leping also knows that if Ye Xiaoruo has the intention to hide it from her, I am afraid that most of it is to not worry her, he is actually very delicate.

Thinking of this, Leping couldn't bear to ask him, so he comforted him ignorantly: "State and family affairs, always take your time, there is always a way to deal with it properly, you don't have to be worried, everything will go straight to the bridge." ”

There was a pause in her voice, and she continued, "Our business...... In short, even if the father is not happy, it is also finalized by the queen mother herself, and there should be no mistakes, you ...... You don't need to worry either. ”

Even though the little county lord is usually lively and outgoing, but in front of his sweetheart, when talking about such a lifelong event, it is inevitable that a thin red will quietly appear in his ears, and even his eyes will fall, staring at the pearls on the tips of his shoes, and his voice is so low that only those around him can hear it.

Ye Xiao was in the rest of the light, and a warmth surged in his heart, and he gently took her hand, and also whispered "Okay".

Leping had the heart to talk to him for a while, but at this time, he had unconsciously walked to the gate of the palace, Ye Xiao's little servant had already poked his neck and waited for a long time, and as soon as he saw the master come forward, he immediately stepped forward anxiously and reported a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Ye Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he turned around and said to her apologetically: "County Lord, I need to go back first if I have something, if there is something......

"I'm fine," Leping interrupted him empathetically, "If you are in a hurry, go back first, don't worry." ”

Ye Xiao said goodbye to her, and then quickly lifted his robe and got into the carriage.

The blue-topped carriage gradually faded away from sight, until it was out of sight, and Yun Leping walked back.

As she walked, she thought about things.

The waiting palace maid asked her, "County Lord, what's wrong with you?" What's going on in your thoughts? ”

Yun Leping's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "It's nothing." Then he hooked his finger at the palace maid and whispered, "Come here, I have something to tell you to do." ”

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, but she still approached obediently, and Le Ping whispered to her: "You go find a few people and ask them to go outside the palace to investigate if something happened to Lord Ye's house." ”

"Huh? Go investigate Lord Ye. The palace maid was a little confused, "County Lord, why are you ......?"

"Okay, don't ask so much why, just do what I tell you to do. Do you understand, just do it. ”

The county lord said this, and the palace maid didn't dare to say anything more, so she sighed, bowed and retreated.

Yun Leping folded a thin willow, and while walking towards his bedroom, he was still thinking that Ye Xiao was absent-minded today, either because his father had exerted pressure from him, or that something had happened in his family. In short, we have to investigate clearly, so that this nerd will not worry about it alone.

But in just one hour, the people who went out to investigate came back to their lives, and the people who happened in front of Ye Xiao's house saw a lot of people, and it was very simple to investigate.

Yun Leping leaned back on the chair and asked, "They claim to be Lord Ye's family." ”

"Yes," the guard replied, "It was said that Master Ye was accidentally lost many years ago, and the family looked for people everywhere and sold the family's property, and now it is ...... Nowadays......"

At this point, the guard paused, and seemed a little embarrassed to continue.

Yun Le looked at him: "What's the matter now?" If you go on, I won't be angry with you. ”

"Yes, County Lord," the guard replied in a low voice, "Now that they see that Lord Ye is about to marry the County Lord, they have made a request that Their Majesty reward them with their official titles before they are willing to agree to the marriage between Lord Ye and the County Lord." ”

"It's not a small amount of courage." Leping sneered and stood up, "Where are they, the county lord will take care of them." Speaking of which, she naturally didn't believe that this group of greedy villains was Ye Xiao's family, but she thought that her father would have embarrassed Ye Xiao on the grounds of this matter, otherwise he would not have been embarrassed.

Leping is ready to solve this trouble himself.

At her suggestion, the family who dreamed of making a fortune was tied up in the annex garden.

The guards pushed them in and said coldly, "Wait a while to get back to our county lord, otherwise you won't want your heads." ”

This group of old and young people panicked at first, and then pondered the word county lord, and put their heads up.

"What is the county lord, when he marries into our Ye family, he will also call us brother and sister-in-law in the future, can he still be disrespectful to his elders?" It was the yellow-toothed middle-aged man who said this, that is, the one who claimed to be Brother Ye Xiao.

Le Ping looked at them coldly, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What a big breath, even if you are really Ye Xiao's family, it is also a national gift, before the family ceremony, in front of the county lord in vain to call the elders, don't you think your life is too long!" ”

Only then did this group of people notice that the bright and noble girl in it, dressed in a mica white fairy dress, was really dazzling, and she looked forward to her life.

The second child was dumbfounded, and was twisted by his mother-in-law with sharp cheekbones, and he hissed in pain.

Leping glanced at him in disgust, hating such a look, and motioned for the guards to tie him up.

Soon this Ye Lao Er was thrown to the ground by the five flowers, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Leping kicked him with the tip of his shoe, and sneered condescendingly: "Put away your dirty eyes, if you dare to be disrespectful to the county lord again, be careful that I let people rip off your tricks!" ”

Her face is delicate, but her words are not soft at all, with this room full of torture instruments, and the guards with knives who do not smile, this family finally knows that they are afraid.

The yellow-toothed man swallowed his saliva and said flatteringly: "The county lord said that he laughed, how dare we be disrespectful to you, but in the future, if you marry our third brother, we will be a family, my second brother, you see ......" He gestured to the thin man who was tied up, as if he wanted to ask for mercy.

Leping hooked his lips and smiled lightly: "Do you want me to let him go?" Okay, when you answer a few questions from the county lord, I will let you go. But I can say ugly things in the front, I hate others to tell lies the most, if you are not honest and use lies to prevaricate me, don't blame me for being unkind to you! ”

Her expression turned cold, and the atmosphere immediately changed, and the family shuddered for a moment.

The fat woman couldn't withstand the pressure, and asked weakly: "County lord...... What does the county lord want to ask? ”

"It's very simple," Leping smiled slightly, looking at her, "I want to know, where did you come from, how did you target Ye Xiao, and want to pretend to be his family to recognize your relatives?" ”

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on the fat woman's forehead, and she laughed twice, her eyes dodged and she didn't dare to look at her: "Where is the county lord talking about, we are the relatives of the third brother's relatives, and after looking for all these years, we finally found someone, how can we do it well." ”

At this time, the daughter with sharp cheekbones also followed to help: "That's it, in my opinion, the county lord is afraid that there is some misunderstanding here, in order to find the third brother, we even sold the ancestral house and land...... This, this is the best thing, but it is not fake. ”

She spoke as if there was such a thing, and she twitched her veil, as if she was about to cry.

Ke Leping only squeezed out a few tears when he saw her for a long time, and naturally didn't believe her words in his heart.

She didn't bother to deal more with this group of villains who were full of lies, so she was a little cautious, cleared her throat and asked: "Okay, since you are Ye Xiao's family, I want to test you, Ye Xiao has a birthmark on his left arm, do you say that the birthmark is black or red?" ”

"This ......," the woman with pointed cheekbones couldn't answer, but her mind was spinning quickly, and she made an excuse and laughed, "I married later, and I really don't know much about this birthmark." ”

Le Ping didn't embarrass her, but moved his gaze to the old lady and the yellow-toothed man, and said, "One of you claims to be Ye Xiao's mother, and the other says that he is his eldest brother, you won't and don't remember the birthmark, right?" ”
