After returning from Yizhuang, under the leadership of Du Siheng, Dali Temple asked the manager of Xie's garment shop for the sale record of the garment, and even used this clue to find the eyewitnesses of the two deceased who had seen the two deceased in the garment shop on August 17.

With such decisive physical and human evidence, Ye Qiong's uncle and father finally cleared the suspicion of killing people for the construction of the bridge. According to the current evidence, Dali Temple believes that Ye Zhujin and Ye Qishu have nothing to do with the case of King Sheng's rebellion, and that this matter was framed by others, but it is also a fact that the two are ineffective.

Therefore, with the acquiescence of the emperor, Ye Zhujin and Ye Qishu are still locked up in the prison of Dali Temple, one is to punish the two for their incompetence, and the other is to let them continue to cooperate with the investigation of the soul calling case.

The emperor originally didn't expect Dali Temple to find out anything, and secretly sent Jinyi Wei to investigate the matter with full authority.

The new evidence found in Dali Temple also caused a small dispute in the court, but in the end, in the controversy between "relatives and relatives" and "righteous annihilation" deliberately guided by the emperor, it returned to the surface of the water and did not stir up a trace of waves.

Such a result is fortunate enough for Ye Qiong and the Ye family.

It is already a luxury for officials to be reinstated, and it is a blessing to be able to leave their lives behind.

Life is more important than anything else.

Although Ye Zhujin and Ye Qishu were still in prison, the third room of the Ye family quietly closed the door to celebrate, and invited the Lu Shaodan family who helped in this matter.

Ye Qiong was happy in her heart, so she quietly turned on the pot of wine behind her back, and in the corner of the banquet, she leaned on the railing and drank herself.

Lu Shaodan saw that Ye Qiong's figure suddenly disappeared from the banquet, so he looked for it, and as soon as he came, he saw the girl holding a wine jug, looking at him with a smile, laughing with tears, with tears in her eyes, like a star shattered under her eyes, too beautiful.

Lu Shaodan's heart suddenly palpitated.

Ye Qiong raised her glass to him with a smile and said, "You're here." This cup is to you, thank you for your help. ”

Lu Shaodan shook his head helplessly, walked over and took the wine glass handed over by Ye Qiong, drank it, and said, "I drank the wine, thank you and I accepted it, don't drink it anymore, be careful of a hangover and headache tomorrow." ”

Su Kite, who was standing on the side, looked left and right, but did not say anything.

The girl used that wine glass, too.

Ye Qiong put down her wine glass in the end, because she saw the warbler walking briskly towards here.

Ye Qiong's heart tightened, thinking that something had happened to the eldest uncle and father in prison, and the liuying over there had already shouted: "Girl, you're back, the fifth master is back!" ”

Ye Qiong was stunned for a moment, and then she was so happy that she almost jumped up, and hurriedly ran to Liuying with her skirt, and said, "Really? Where is he now, take me to him! ”

Lu Shaodan was still in place, watching Ye Qiong's flying skirt flutter like a butterfly, bowing his head and smiling.

……………………

When Ye Qiong came to Wutong Courtyard, Mrs. Lu had already retired in order not to disturb the reunion of the Ye family's relatives, and the fifth uncle Ye Cizhu was kneeling in front of Mrs. Shen and kowtowing, shouting: "My son is not filial, and he will return after three years of study, which makes his mother and brother and sister-in-law worried." ”

Saying that, Ye Xizhu's face was even more ashamed, and his voice choked up: "When the accident happened at home, my son was still traveling outside, and I only heard the news of the Ye family's accident when I arrived at the post station in Jingbei, and I hurried back with a heart, but I couldn't help in the end, and my son was ashamed!" After speaking, there were three more knocks, and the people in the courtyard burst into tears.

"It's none of your business, it's none of your business!" Mrs. Shen cried, and pulled Ye Xizhu up from the ground with her own hands, "When this case happened, I was glad that you were not implicated in your travels, and now that the case has come to an end and you have returned safely, you don't know how happy I am in my heart!" ”

Ye Xizhu couldn't cry.

Ye Qiong lowered her head and wiped away her tears, raised a smile, and gave Ye Yao and Ye Jin a face.

Ye Jin hurriedly stepped forward to help Ye Xizhu sit down, and Ye Yao comforted her grandmother in a soft voice.

Ye Qiong held a cup of tea and presented it to Ye Cizhu, and when she got closer, she found that the fifth uncle was covered with wind and frost, and he didn't even have time to shave his beard. Ye Qiong's heart was even more sore, and she still shouted with a smile: "Fifth uncle, do you still recognize me?" ”

Ye Cizhu raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qiong, and saw that the delicate and childish boy who followed his ass and asked for candy in his memory had already become a pavilion girl, although he was only twelve years old, he already had a vague posture of falling into the city, and he was a little sudden.

Ye Xizhu wanted to reach out and pick up Ye Qiong as usual, but remembered that she was now older, so he just touched the top of her head and said, "We have grown up!" ”

The tears in Ye Qiong's eyes finally couldn't help but fall.

In her previous life, the last relative she saw was the fifth uncle.

Now, although the fifth uncle is full of wind and frost, he is still a good man, and he has not been bent by the hardships of the Ye family.

However, whether it is in her previous life or in this life, the fifth uncle loves her so much, and he is her closest fifth uncle!

Everyone slowed down for a while before they calmed down from the mixed feelings of the family reunion, and Mrs. Shen personally told Ye Xizhu about the recent situation of the Ye family and the process of the soul-calling case.

After Ye Xizhu listened carefully, he was still shocked, and he was even more indignant about the betrayal with Sifang: "The fourth brother deceives people too much!" ”

"It's not your fourth brother anymore." Mrs. Shen's tone was indifferent, "Since we are out of the clan, we will call him Ye Zuhui in the future." ”

Ye Xizhu said yes, and then turned his head and praised Ye Qiong: "Our Qiong'er is really Bingxue smart, and the result of this matter can be obtained now, relying on Qiong'er's wit!" ”

Mrs. Shen's eyes moved, and Xie's expression became unnatural, and the two glanced at each other with solemn expressions.

Seeing this, Feng's mother hurriedly beckoned and led a group of subordinates to retreat first.

Mrs. Shen beckoned to Ye Qiong and said, "Qiong'er, come here." ”

Ye Qiong already had a guess in her heart, and solemnly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen sighed in her heart, and became even more determined about the decision she was about to make, she called Mother Feng to come over, and Mother Feng respectfully presented the big key of the Ye family that had been prepared with both hands.

Ye Yao cried out in a lost voice: "Grandmother? ”

Mrs. Shen bowed slightly, solemnly put the key in Ye Qiong's raised hands, held Ye Qiong's hand tightly, and said, "Now that your fifth uncle is also back, I will officially announce it." Last time, I handed over the big key to you and Yao'er, but it was just a temporary helpless move, and you and Yao'er gave us a satisfactory answer. Qiong'er, during this time, you acted properly and dealt with it properly, and your mother and I both saw it. Not long ago, you and your sister gave me back the key, and I will now give it to you officially. Your mother and I have decided to hand over the entire Ye family to you, and we will take it back to your future sister-in-law after you leave the cabinet. ”

"Grandmother!" Ye Jin couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she heard that the matter had turned to her marriage.

"Grandmother......" Ye Qiong held the big key, not surprised, but felt that there was a heavy responsibility on her shoulders and did not dare to be careless.

Mrs. Shen brushed Ye Qiong's shoulder, as if to brush the burden off her shoulders for her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your aunt and I will also help you, you still have brothers and sisters, no matter how bad it is, your fifth uncle is also useful." Your mother and I will give you Mother Feng and the egret, and you can send them. ”

Mother Feng officially bowed her knees slightly to Ye Qiong and stood behind her, and Ye Xizhu smiled: "Qiong'er can use me." ”

Xie Shi also smiled with relief and said, "My dowry's tooth card will be kept by your sister for the time being, just look for her if you have something, I won't ask." ”

Ye Qiong bowed to Mrs. Shen Yingying and promised: "The granddaughter will not be dishonored." ”

As he spoke, Ye Qiong stood up straight and made a suggestion to Mrs. Shen and the Xie family: "Since the Ye family is now in my hands, then I will directly say what I think next." ”

Everyone bowed, and Ye Qiong continued: "Now there is no need to worry about the situation of the eldest uncle and father, Your Majesty Shengming, knowing the innocence and loyalty of the Ye family, and now they are still locked up just to give some punishment, the eldest uncle and father will suffer some hardships in the short term, and the Ye family will also decline for a while, we must have a number in our hearts." ”

Mrs. Shen smiled: "Even if it is Kunpeng, there will be times when it will be dormant, and we are not afraid." ”

Ye Qiong also smiled, and her tone unconsciously carried some pride: "Since you are a Kunpeng, you are not afraid of the days when you will soar to 90,000 miles." ”

Ye Qiong said, bowed to everyone again, and pointed to the sky outside: "There is still starlight tonight, it looks clear." But we have to have a number in our hearts, and my father said many times before he was imprisoned that it will be rainy this autumn, and I am afraid of a big flood, and the capital is afraid of a big disaster. In order to prevent a catastrophe, the Ye family should buy as much grain as possible at this moment, but it should not attract the attention of others, it can be purchased in small quantities and many times, or it can run a few more grain stores. ”

Ye Cizhu said: "Leave this matter to me, I have a few friends who happen to know a lot of grain merchants. ”

Ye Qiong vetoed: "No, leave this matter to A-Niang and my sister." Jiangnan Xie's name is not false, with A-Niang coming forward, this matter can get twice the result with half the effort. And now that there have been some floods near the capital, the food in the capital may not be enough, and you have to go to the more affluent south to buy it...... In addition to selling grain, Jiangnan Xie also sells many other necessary items, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, which are also very important and also need to be stocked up. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Qiong paused and locked his eyes on Ye Cizhu's body: "As for the fifth uncle, you have another task, I will tell you later." ”

Ye Jin, who was not mentioned, asked, "Little sister, then what should I do?" ”

Ye Qiong smiled, and her tone was encouraging: "Brother, you are the most important." You are the hope of our three rooms, and the most important thing you should do is to study hard and become a jinshi as soon as possible. Among the families in the capital, why only a handful of families can pass on for a hundred years is because most of the families have no successors! My Ye family has also been an emperor like my grandfather, my brother wants to achieve fame, enter the Hanlin, enter the six departments, and even enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, let all the families in the capital see, my Ye family is not no successor! ”

The words made everyone enthusiastic, Ye Jin immediately got up and shouted: "Okay, I'll hang my head every day, cone and stab the stock, and strive to get a first-class back!" ”

Ye Cizhu smiled embarrassedly: "I don't like to read, I only love wandering the rivers and lakes, it seems that I can't help with this." ”

"The fifth uncle has his own use for the fifth uncle." Ye Qiong smiled, her expression was fleeting but solemn, "I want the fifth uncle to become the back road of the Ye family!" ”

"What?" Ye Cizhu screamed, and even Mrs. Shen and the Xie family were shocked.

Ye Qiong continued: "In today's court situation, grandmother should also take it very lightly, several adult princes are restless, but the prince is still young, and the chaos in the court will be sooner or later." Not to mention the Ye family, looking at the hundreds of years of history of Daliang, it is so difficult to stand tall in the turmoil of winning the heir. The Ye family has already been on the chessboard after this incident, and it is time to think about their own back road. ”

Mrs. Shen thought about it for a long time and finally agreed.

Ye Qiong sighed: "I'll tell you the truth, don't worry about the fifth uncle." You have traveled abroad for many years, made a wide range of friends, and you are a concubine, and there are very few people in the capital who will care about you. I thought, my grandmother might as well share half of the Ye family's wealth and let the fifth uncle run under a pseudonym, this asset can become one of the forces that promote the rise of the Ye family, and retreat can become the Ye family's reliance on the fifth uncle to retire and escape in case of an accident. ”

Ye Xizhu shook his head and said, "If something really happens, how can I be alone!" ”

Mrs. Shen said: "Qiong'er is right, today's disaster can still be avoided, so what about the future?" We have to leave a way back. Old Five, you just listen to what Qiong'er says. ”

Ye Xizhu's lips moved, and he didn't disobey Mrs. Shen in the end.

Ye Qiong comforted the fifth uncle and said, "Fifth uncle, I have prepared for the worst, in fact, it is not necessarily. ”

Ye Qiong has confidence, since God let her be reborn for a lifetime, she naturally will not let the Ye family have another eventuality.
