Dingbei Hou Mansion.

Shen Yanchuan reopened the file.

The battle at Tongtianguan three years ago was full of suspicions, and after chatting with Feng Zhang this time, he was even more convinced that it was very boring.

He has already been able to memorize this dossier backwards, but to find out the truth of the year, he needs to peel back the cocoon, and there are many difficulties.

Suddenly, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he said out of the window: "Why, isn't the gate of the Dingbei Hou Mansion wide enough, and you still have to turn in from the backyard?" ”

The next moment, the window was pushed open, and a dashing figure jumped in.

It was Xie Anbai, who had just returned to Beijing.

Unfolding the fan with a "swish", he shook his head and sighed lightly, "Your ear power is too good, can't you let me win once?" ”

Shen Yanchuan closed the file, put it aside, and looked at him.

"Running out of money?"

Xie Anbai: "......"

He coughed vigorously: "Where can it!" Am I that kind of person? What is our relationship? That's brothers who were born and died together! Can I trouble you for a few taels of silver? ”

Shen Yanchuan: "After you returned to Beijing, you haven't returned to Xie's house?" ”

Although it was a question, the tone was firm.

Xie Anbai suddenly had a headache: "What are you kidding!" I'll go back now, and my dad will make me kneel under the sun for two hours!" Isn't this looking for your own death? ”

His father cleaned him up, it was all true!

"Wait a few days to get cooler, he will be less grumpy, and it's not too late to go back."

Shen Yanchuan nodded: "The firewood house in the Dingbei Hou Mansion is still empty, and it can be lent to you to live." ”

Xie Anbai's eyes widened in disbelief: "Because I kept running to deliver you a letter, you did this to me?" ”

"Deliver a letter?" Shen Yanchuan's eyebrows raised slightly, "Didn't you just return to the capital, what kind of letter did you send me?" ”

"Doctor Ye!"

Xie Anbai put away the folding fan, leaned forward, and looked curious,

"I just saw her go to Xu's Mansion, or did Xu Rongqing go out to greet her in person!"

Shen Yanchuan paused.

Xie Anbai saw his reaction, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bring a little schadenfreude: "How about it, I sent this letter in time, right?" ”

Shen Yanchuan didn't speak, his eyes were lowered, and he couldn't see his emotions.

Xie Anbai couldn't bear it: "Hey, why don't you react at all?" ”

He leaned back: "I've inquired about everything, Dr. Ye's background is not ordinary at all, she is Ye Zheng's daughter!" ”

Speaking of this stubble, Xie Anbai couldn't help but sigh: "I just said that when I saw her for the first time, I inexplicably felt that she was familiar." It turns out that I really met her three years ago! ”

Shen Yanchuan raised her eyes: "After she entered Beijing three years ago, she only stayed in the capital for a few months, and because of her frailty, she almost never left the gate of Yefu. You—have you? ”

"Of course! How could I be mistaken! Xie Anbai immediately sat up straight, "She didn't go out much at that time, but I saw her, but on her first day in the capital!" ”

Xie Anbai touched his chin.

"That's a coincidence. That day happened to be the day you left Beijing and returned to Huizhou. I said I'm going to see you off, but I happened to run into Ye Xiting on the road. He was in a hurry to pick up people outside the city gate, but he only said that his family had entered Beijing, and I didn't ask in detail. Later, I found out that it was his mother and sister who came that day. ”

A dark color crossed Shen Yanchuan's eyes, and countless images flew through his mind.

“…… It turned out to be that day. ”

"So, you should have met you outside the city at the time, but you didn't see it."

It was an extremely ordinary day, and no one cared about someone passing by.

"I saw her from afar, and I felt so thin that it looked like a gust of wind could blow away. I didn't expect to see each other again after three years, but it seemed to be a completely different person. If it hadn't been for the reunion in the capital this time, I guess I'd never remember who she was. Xie Anbai said.

Three years is neither long nor short, but it is enough to change too many things.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, how is your body recovering?" Xie Anbai raised his chin, "I heard that during the time you returned to Beijing, you have been sick at home and have pushed a lot of posts." ”

Shen Yanchuan pressed his chest.

"Well, it doesn't seem to be quite good."

Xie Anbai was very surprised: "Really? So, you're more hurt than I expected! But isn't Dr. Ye's medical skills very good? I heard about her

Even the eldest princess has been rescued, why haven't you recovered for so long? ”

Xie Anbai looked at him: "Why don't you ask her to come over and help you take a look?" ”

……

Xu's house, study.

Xu Fengchi took out a wooden box and handed it to Ye Chutang.

"What is in here are some old things from your father and brother. Originally...... The accident happened so suddenly, and when I got the news, it was too late to rush there, and I only found that. ”

Ye Chutang took it with both hands and opened the box.

Inside lay a seal, a pair of pearl earrings, and a jade plaque.

They were all personal things of my father and mother and my brother at that time.

Ye Chutang stared at it for a long time, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his eyelids.

At that time, in order to take Ah Yan Ah Feng and Xiao Wu away safely, she made everyone think that they were also completely dead, and did not take anything from the carriage.

I didn't expect to see these objects again one day.

She held her breath, closed the box, and bowed earnestly to thank you: "Uncle Xu's thoughts, I, Ayan, Afeng and Xiao Wu are engraved in my heart. ”

Xu Fengchi sighed and smiled bitterly:

"Actually, it didn't help you, and I couldn't keep most of their belongings. Ye Heng is fully responsible for the things that follow, after all, I am an outsider, no more than he and your father are blood relatives, many things naturally have no right to ask, and there are very few things that can be obtained. Even when they openly moved to your house, they ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Fengchi was still very guilty.

Ye Chutang didn't seem to care, and smiled: "You have already done a lot for us." Besides, you didn't know we were still alive at the time, did you? ”

She gently stroked the box, and it was clear that it didn't put many things, but it weighed more than a thousand pounds.

She said lightly: "Even if they are blood relatives, it is common for them to turn against each other. Sometimes, the people who hurt people the most are the closest ones. ”

Xu Fengchi's heart moved: "Chu Tang, what do you say...... Did you find something? ”

The corners of Ye Chutang's lips curved: "I'm not sure for the time being, I'll tell you when I go back and make it clear." By the way, you said before that there was a person who used to be my father's subordinate in the Tongzhou River Embankment Corruption Case? ”

Xu Fengchi's expression was dazed: "Not bad." At one point, I suspected that he had something to do with the accident that happened to your father. ”

Ye Chutang nodded: "I want to see him." ”

Xu Fengchi frowned: "I'm afraid this matter is not so easy, he is now locked up in a prison, and he will be exiled soon." ”

"I want his testimony—"

Ye Chutang smiled slightly,

"Then there's a way to pry his mouth open."
