At the mouth of Huaihua Hutong, two men who had returned from work were sitting on the threshold of their house resting, pointing at a house with a seal on the door.

"I heard that it seems that the abandoned ancestor Ye family on the other side has an unfilial son and has ruined all the houses in the family." One of them said.

Another old man nodded and said, "My mother also used this matter to educate me, so that I don't learn to be like that family, abandon my family and clan, and recognize the son of another family to cuckold myself, and finally end up like that." is also a good family like the Huaihua Ye family, and I still want to help them, which one didn't say that the fourth room of the Ye family brought the reputation of the second room to the bad one, and when it comes to the Huaihua Ye family, it is the fourth room of the Ye family with a very poor name, but now it is separated. ”

The man who spoke first nodded in agreement and said, "I don't know what guests are coming to the Huaihuaye family today, I saw a lot of cars parked at the mouth of the alley." ”

The men said something more, they didn't suppress the sound of talking, Ye Er, who was taking care of the carriage not far away, listened to most of it, and told Ye Qiong and his party in the carriage through the half-hidden curtain.

Xie Shi, Ye Jin and Ye Yao didn't react, Ye Qiong's fingers tapped down on the coffee table, and fell into thought.

The fifth uncle and Ye Er have been staring at the rumors in the market according to Ye Qiong's instructions, and Ye Qiong has heard a lot of praise for the second uncle these days.

It has only been a few days since the second uncle took the fourth uncle into the second room, and such a virtuous reputation has been spread, if there is no one behind this matter, Ye Qiong will not believe it.

What is the intention of the second uncle's move?

The carriage moved slowly again, and drove into the second gate.

The third room of the Ye family came with the Ye family's big house this time, and when Ye Qiong got off the carriage with her mother Xie, the sister-in-law Su in the lobby had already come over to salute Xie, and then grabbed Ye Qiong and said, "Sister Qiong and Sister Yao are getting more and more beautiful!" ”

After Su Shi finished saying this, he lowered his voice and said to Ye Qiong: "Wen Tingting had a miscarriage, and the third prince's mansion was made by her, and it was cleaned up by the third princess before it stopped, you can rest assured." ”

Ye Qiong raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and a sincere smile appeared on her face: "Thank you for reminding me." ”

The matter of the inner house of the prince's mansion, Ye Qiong is not easy to inquire. The Su family is the patriarch of the Ye family, and it is naturally easier than Ye Qiong to inquire about these, which is also one of the reasons why Ye Qiong supported the Su family to become the patriarch.

The second aunt, Jiang, had not received the news that the big house and the third room were going to visit together, so she came out in a hurry, and it took a lot of time to arrange for the carriages and horses of the big house and the third room to enter Huaihua Hutong. Now when he saw a few people getting out of the carriage, he pulled Xie Shi with a smile and asked, "Why is this coming?" ”

Su Shi took over the conversation and said, "We just got the news, Lord Zhengdu of Dali Temple is going to come to the door to ask the fourth uncle a few words today, so I took the third aunt over." ”

Jiang Shi let out an "ah", lowered his voice and asked Su Shi: "What's going on, is it to check Ye to play, or ......?"

Xie Shi on the other side whispered: "I don't know, we are afraid that it will have something to do with my lord and eldest brother, so we hurried over to listen to it." ”

Jiang bowed his head and led the group into the main courtyard first, Ye Mei and Ye Qin had already arrived in the main courtyard, busy serving tea to a few people.

As soon as a few people sat down, someone reported that Du Siheng was coming, and after a while, Du Siheng followed Ye Qiong's second uncle, Ye Chanyan, in, followed by Ye Huan, the eldest son of the second room.

Ye Mei and Ye Qin hurriedly hid in the inner room to avoid it, Ye Yao also hid in the inner room when she saw this, and only Ye Qiong, a female relative who had not left the cabinet, was left in the main courtyard. Ye Qiong's non-evasion was agreed with Du Siheng, and after Du Siheng met the others, he called Ye Qiong "Senior Aunt" with a smile.

Ye Huan and Ye Chanyan's expressions changed, but they didn't say anything.

Du Siheng met with everyone, and then said in an official tone: "I came here today in my private capacity, first to be a pioneer for Dali Temple, to see Ye Zuhui's situation, by the way, ask about something, you don't have to care too much about me." ”

Ye Chanyan said with a difficult face: "Lord Du wants to inquire about the fourth brother, I shouldn't have stopped it. But the fourth brother is bedridden because of the blow of Ye Play before, and I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand any blows......"

Ye Qiong was very puzzled.

Du Juan is very measured, and Ye Zuhui went to the Yamen of Jingzhao Yin Mansion a few days ago because of Ye Wan's case, why is he bedridden?

Du Siheng still had a smile on his face, but his tone was very resolute: "Master Ye, don't worry, I'm just asking about some things, so I won't let Ye Zuhui lose his life." ”

Having said this, Ye Chanyan had no room to refuse, leading Du Siheng to the courtyard where Ye Chanyan lived, followed by Ye Huan.

Ye Qiong and Ye Jin glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed without ignoring the Jiang family's obstruction.

"Those two children, maybe they want to see how Master Du asks about the case." Xie Shi served tea and smiled at Jiang.

Jiang smiled awkwardly and did not speak.

On the other side, Du Siheng came to Ye Zuhui's bed.

Ye Zuhui was crooked on the bed, his face was yellow, and his spirit was sluggish. Ye Se sat on his knees, dressed plainly, and was holding a spoonful of medicine.

Seeing someone coming in, Ye Sese hurriedly put the medicine bowl on the head of the bed, bowed his head and left. Ye Zuhui raised his cloudy eyes, and those eyes opened in horror when he saw someone in the group who came.

Ye Qiong and Du Siheng were keenly aware of this, and Du Siheng first smiled and bowed his hand to Ye Zuhui: "Du Siheng is in the Lower Dali Temple, and I am here to ask Your Excellency about something." ”

Ye Zuhui swallowed his saliva, his eyes unconsciously swept over Ye Chanyan and Ye Huan, who were calm, and said, "Lord Du, please speak." ”

Du Siheng said: "On the twenty-eighth day of July, did you ever bribe the jailer and enter the prison of Jingzhao Yin Mansion to have contact with the two monks who died of poisoning in the soul calling case? ”

Ye Zuhui's eyes widened, his body trembled unconsciously and trembly, and he even knocked over the porcelain bowl that Ye Sesse had placed at the head of the bed before leaving.

Ye Chanyan quickly took the porcelain bowl and said apologetically: "Master Du, the fourth brother below may have been a little frightened when he thought of the ending of the two monks who died of poison. Fourth brother, are you okay? ”

Ye Zuhui gasped, but he really calmed down slowly, and then said to Du Siheng: "I bought it through the jailer and entered the prison of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, but it was because I had a friend who drank and fished for someone. I don't know what happened to the two monks you mentioned, maybe they have seen it, I have a kind heart, and when I went, I brought a lot of food and clothing to my friend, and then I gave it to the other prisoners when I couldn't finish it, maybe it was then? I don't remember. ”

There was no flaw in this statement, Du Siheng did not give up, and asked again: "Do you remember which prisoners were assigned to, and where they were probably kept." ”

Ye Zuhui shook his head and only said, "How long has it been, where will I remember!" ”

After saying this, Ye Zuhui couldn't help but glance at Ye Chanyan again.

Ye Qiong was shocked.

How can there be a feeling that the fourth uncle seems to have been looking at the second uncle's face?

Ye Qiong interjected in a timely manner: "Fourth uncle, think about it carefully, those two monks died pitifully, bleeding from the seven orifices, and dying of poison, if you can find the truth as soon as possible, it will also be considered a merit, maybe the fourth uncle's illness will be cured." ”

Ye Qiong emphatically accentuated the words "poison death" and "illness" in her words, so that Ye Huan, who had been silent, couldn't help but glance at her.

Ye Qiong felt something, and when she looked over with her eyes, Ye Huan had already shifted her gaze.

Ye Zuhui listened to Ye Qiong's words, his face was even more frightened, and his eyes frequently looked at the second uncle Ye Chanyan, but he did not give new clues when Du Siheng asked.

Du Siheng couldn't ask, so he said, "That's all for today, I'm going to disturb Master Ye." ”

Ye Chanyan waved his hand again and again, only Ye Qiong noticed that Ye Zuhui quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Chanyan walked back with the group, Ye Qiong and Du Siheng had their own thoughts, and at the same time stared at Ye Chanyan's movements, not noticing Ye Huan, who had fallen behind.

Ye Huan called Ye Sese and a few maids who served Ye Zuhui over and asked, "How did you take care of it today?" ”

The maids and women answered one after another, as big as asking a doctor to take medicine, as small as turning over a few times today, drinking a few more times of water, answering everything in detail, Ye Huan shook the folding fan in his hand, and listened carefully, without showing a trace of impatience, as if he was really a good son who cared about the daily life of the sick elders.

Ye Se stood aside and listened, it was not cold today, but the more she listened, the more cold sweat came out of her body, and her heart was cold.

She is not stupid, where does Ye Zuhui's injury need to lie down for so many days, and so many people need to wait. She fed three bowls of medicine a day, and every time the maid stared at the medicine bowl, there was not a drop of medicine left, just like that, Ye Zuhui's health was getting worse and worse.

What kind of medicine did she feed Ye Zuhui with her own hands, Ye Sese didn't dare to think about it.

Ye Huan looked at it coldly, and suddenly laughed: "Cousin Cersei, you have a bit of a posture, why don't you invite a teacher of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting tomorrow?" ”

Yes respectfully.

……………………

After Ye Qiong returned to the house, he called the fifth uncle Ye Cizhu and asked him to check the relationship and status of the second uncle Ye Chanyan in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and added: "If you can, go and check the relationship between the jailer who put the fourth uncle in prison and the second uncle." ”

Ye Xizhu was very surprised at the time: "Are you suspicious of the second brother?" ”

Ye Qiong bowed, but Ye Cizhu shook his head and said: "It can't be him, the second brother is smart, he looks alienated and cold, but he is the best to people, and when he was a child, he often gave toys to the third brother, the fourth brother and me to play with." ”

Ye Qiong didn't want the soul case to be related to the second uncle, and the third room was okay to say that the eldest uncle and the second uncle were brothers of the same country, but Ye Qiong didn't want to let go of this doubt, and still insisted on investigating.

Ye Xizhu couldn't resist it, and he also knew that Ye Qiong would not be untargeted, so he received the order.

After another night, before Ye Xizhu's news came, Steward Chen came to Ye Qiong and said something: "The two girls in the second room came to Qiluo Building to order clothes, and the clothes were set, but their behavior was really strange, I think it would be better to come and talk to the girl." ”

Ye Qiong was taken aback, straightened her expression and said, "You say, don't care that they are my cousins." ”

Steward Chen pondered and said, "Ordinary official ladies go to the box to buy clothes, but the two girls, Ye Mei and Ye Qin, are unwilling, and stay at the counter on the first floor for a long time. Originally, they had been entertained by me, but during this period, Mrs. Yun sent someone over, and I left for a while, and asked Aya'er to take care of me. Aya'er was also taken away by them, but Ye Er's family told me that they seemed to have rummaged through the record book on the counter, and also rummaged through the drawers, as if they were looking for the account book. ”

Ye Qiong frowned, and first said to Steward Chen: "Next time they come again, you don't have to care about the face of me and my sister, you can entertain you as you want, and don't let them succeed." ”

Steward Chen responded, and the cuckoo on the other side lifted the curtain and came in, and when Steward Chen saw this, he retreated, and the cuckoo said in Ye Qiong's ear: "The news sent by the fifth master just now, the jailer who was bought by Ye Zuhui fell into the lake and drowned last night when he was drunk. ”

Ye Qiong was surprised: "Drowned? How did you conclude that it was drowned, and when was it discovered? ”

The cuckoo said: "The puppet of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion said that he was drunk and drowned, and he was found by the watchman this morning when he found someone soaked in the river, and he was just salvaged shortly after." ”

Ye Qiong vaguely felt that she had caught something.

died last night, that is, on the night when Du Siheng went to the Ye family to inquire about the fourth uncle. Where is there such a coincidence in this world, just to find him, the person is gone!

Startling the snake, this snake was so ruthless that it directly cut off the clue.

is in such a hurry to kill people and kill people, it seems that he has found the right direction, and there is a big problem with Jingzhao Yin's Mansion.

Second uncle, there is a big problem!
