Twenty-three: Secret
After dinner, Chu Zhiheng took Ye Chuchu to his study.
Mingyu was walking towards the study with tea, but heard two maidservants talking there.
"The woman the general brought back today is so beautiful, no wonder the general has been thinking about it."
"It is estimated that she will be the wife of our General's Mansion in the future, and we can't neglect her."
Mingyu was angry when he heard these words in the dark, and stepped forward and shouted, "It's all okay, don't go down quickly." β
The two maidservants hurriedly begged for mercy, and when Mingyu left, one of the maidservants snorted.
"Isn't it the general's personal maidservant, and she really regards herself as her master. When I have the general's wife, I will have her good fruit to eat. β
Lin Mo reported the news he found one by one.
Ye Chuchu asked rhetorically, "You said that Shen Qingyue was taken away by Ye Yiyi." β
Lin Mo nodded.
"Then Ye Yiyi, they probably already know that the current young lady of the Shen family is a fake."
Chu Zhiheng opened his mouth and said, "Chu Chu, if you have any ideas, you need my help." β
"I guess Ye Yiyi and the others will definitely use this matter to blackmail Yun Yao. Yun Yao is still useful to me, if it is really exposed. I need you to help me try my best to save Yun Yao. β
Seeing that he needed to use himself, Chu Zhiheng hurriedly agreed.
Lin Mo couldn't bear to look directly at Chu Zhiheng's unpromising appearance.
Ye Chuchu always felt that Ye Yiyi and the others were too calm, and they couldn't help but be a little worried.
Mingyu came in at this time, and Chu Zhiheng just asked her to take Ye Chuchu back to rest.
Mingyu looked at Ye Chuchu's arrogant appearance as he walked in front, and his heart was full of dissatisfaction.
couldn't help but speak, "County Lord Anning, I have been with the general for so many years, and I have never seen the general so good to a person. β
Ye Chuchu didn't bother to talk to her, and replied casually, "I am in love with General Chu, and he is naturally good to me." β
"Since the county lord is about to get married, he naturally has to abide by the rules of the General's Mansion. It's unseemly to live in before you're married. β
Ye Chuchu snorted coldly, "I am the county lord of the emperor's own title, and I use your little maid to teach me the rules." Believe me or not, I can sell you into a brothel. β
Mingyu knew that he was scared, and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
Ye Chuchu didn't want to worry about her, so he punished her for kneeling for two hours.
Although Mingyu was resentful in her heart, she didn't dare to disobey, she was afraid that Ye Chuchu would really sell her to a brothel.
After Ye Chuchu left, Lin Mo took out the secret letter handed by Gu Zhiqiu.
Chu Zhiheng burned the letter after reading it.
"Send someone to check on Yun Yao. In addition, let the people who secretly protect Chu Chu be careful, so as not to be discovered by her. β
Lin Mo opened his mouth and asked, "General, why don't you ask Miss Ye directly?"
Chu Zhiheng sighed, "Chu Chu, she has something hidden in her heart, but she never wants to tell me." β
Lin Mo stopped squeaking, when will he and the red kite have results.
Chu Zhiheng saw Lin Mo's thoughts, "You also know that Chu Chu just wants to see your attitude towards the red kite. β
"I don't have the ability to give the red kite its rightful place right now. When the time comes, I will show my heart and marry the red kite in a beautiful manner. β
Chu Zhiheng patted Lin Mo on the shoulder, "Good brother, I'm optimistic about you." β
Early the next morning, Chu Zhiheng personally sent Ye Chuchu back home.
happened to bump into Ye Yiyi, "Sister, the general is really good to you, and he personally sent you back." β
Chu Zhiheng helped Ye Chuchu get out of the carriage.
"Miss Ye Er laughed, Chu Chu is my fiancΓ©e, so I naturally have to take good care of her."
Ye Yiyi looked regretful, "General Chu's affection for his sister is unmatched, but it's a pity for Shen Ergongzi." β
Ye Yiyi suddenly stopped, as if realizing that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly apologized to Ye Chuchu.
"Sister, I didn't mean to be in front of General Chu."
Ye Chuchu laughed at her clumsy acting skills, she was not afraid of what Ye Yiyi would say, she was afraid that Chu Zhiheng, the vinegar jar, would be angry again.
Chu Zhiheng pretended not to know, "Who is the second son of Shen?" β
"General Chu is not in the capital, so naturally he doesn't know. Sister, she has always been in love with Shen Zhiyan, the second son of the Shen family. But General Chu, don't worry, my sister must be pleased with you now. β
Chu Zhiheng naturally knew what Ye Chuchu had done for Shen Zhiyan before, although he now knew that Chu Chu liked himself, but he was still curious when he thought about it.
Chu Zhiheng's face turned cold, and the murderous aura accumulated on the battlefield for a long time made several people around him tremble.
Chu Zhiheng gritted his teeth and said, "Chu Chu, you'd better give General Ben an explanation." β
What Chu Zhiheng thought was that I was so angry, Chu Chu would definitely come to coax himself.
Ye Yiyi added fuel and vinegar and said, "General Chu, sister, she is just confused for a while. Don't worry about her. β
Ye Yiyi couldn't wait for Chu Zhiheng to immediately withdraw from the marriage and embarrass her in public.
Chu Zhiheng felt that Ye Yiyi was really noisy at the moment, and ordered Lin Mo to take her back to Ye Mansion.
Ye Yiyi, who was originally watching the play, was dragged by Lin Mo and thrown into the gate of Ye Mansion with her clothes.
The grizzled Ye Yiyi got up from the ground and reprimanded the maids around her, "What are you laughing at, don't hurry up and help Miss Ben." A bunch of useless stuff. β
Ye Yiyi didn't dare to go out again, she was afraid that Chu Zhiheng would throw her back again, so she angrily went to Wang Suqin to complain.
Ye Chuchu saw that Chu Zhiheng asked people to throw Ye Yiyi in, and almost didn't laugh out loud.
Chu Zhiheng tugged on Ye Chuchu's wrist, "Chu Chu, you haven't given me an explanation yet." β
Ye Chuchu reached out and rubbed his hair, "You obviously know that I am happy with you, and I can't wait for Shen Zhiyan to die now." Well, I'll give you a gift when I get back. β
Chu Zhiheng was instantly coaxed by Ye Chuchu's obedient voice.
Awkwardly, he said, "I didn't care." General Ben still has something to do, I'll come back to you later. β
Lin Mo rolled his eyes silently, why didn't he find out that the general was like this before.
After Chu Zhiheng left, Ye Chuchu's smile immediately put away.
She hadn't looked for Ye Yiyi's business yet, but she came up first.
Speaking of Shen Zhiyan, he almost forgot about him.
"Miss, General Chu was so angry just now that he scared me to death."
"It's still Miss who has a way to coax General Chu well."
When the red kite thought of Lin Mo, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, and he didn't know when he would express his heart to himself.
"Is Father home today?"
"Your Excellency is at home today."
Ye Chuchu asked the red kite to go back by herself first, she was going to Lin Jixiao to ask for something.
At that time, Lin Jixiao was fiddling with antiques in the study.
"Father."
Lin Qixiao saw Ye Chuchu coming, and hurriedly asked her to get up.
"Chu Chu, how can I have time to find my father today."
Ye Chuchu saw all kinds of treasures on the table, "Father, this is?" β
Lin Jixiao explained, "Chu Chu, thanks to you for winning glory for the Ye Mansion. These are all gifts from His Majesty, and his father's official position has been promoted. β
Ye Chuchu sneered in his heart, no wonder he was so attentive to himself.
"It's good if my father is happy."
"Chu Chu has some things to ask my father to answer."
Seeing this, Lin Jixiao retreated from everyone.
"Chu Chu, if you have something, just say it."
"Chu Chu wants to ask, what is the identity of my biological mother."
Lin Jixiao's expression changed slightly, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this." β
Chu Chu begged his father to tell him.
"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Your biological mother is a female official next to Your Majesty, and when I first entered the court as an official, I won Your Majesty's favor, and Your Majesty married your mother to me. β
Ye Chuchu was shocked, it turned out that his father didn't know his mother's identity, and it seemed that the most critical person was Yun Yao.
Ye Chuchu found a reason and retired.
Lin Jixiao remembered that the emperor married a female official to him as his wife, and he had been ridiculed by his colleagues for so many years, but fortunately she died early, so he had the opportunity to marry Wang Suqin.
Ye Chuchu was thinking about the incident just now when he suddenly bumped into someone.
Only then did Ye Chuchu notice that it was Shen Qingyue, which was really a coincidence.
"Why, when you see the lord of this county, don't you kneel down, waiting for me to invite you?"
Shen Qingyue was stunned when she thought of Ye Chuchu's previous methods, "The grass people have seen the county lord. β
"Get up."
Ye Chuchu was about to leave, but was stopped by Shen Qingyue.
"Lord County, can you help me prove my identity."
Ye Chuchu looked at her with interest, how did she think I would help her.
"Why should I help you? What's more, the young lady of the Shen family has already recognized it, in case you are a fake. β
Shen Qingyue saw that Ye Chuchu refused to help herself, so she said cruelly, "The county lord is unwilling to help me, you will definitely regret it in the future." β
"Oh? You are threatening me, you really plan to rely on Ye Yiyi, don't end up becoming an outcast without knowing it. β
Ye Chuchu didn't pay attention to her anymore and turned to leave.
Shen Qingyue was shaken by Ye Chuchu's words, "Second Miss should be able to help herself." β
Xue Liu happened to come to Shen Qingyue at this time, "Miss Shen, the second lady is looking for you, come with me." β
As soon as Ye Yiyi saw Shen Qingyue, she enthusiastically pulled her over.
"Qingyue, you're just in time, try on these clothes."
Shen Qingyue touched the fabric of the clothes in her hand, she had never worn any good clothes.
"What is this for?"
"Tomorrow, the Shen family will hold a flower-viewing banquet, and I will take you there to expose her in one fell swoop."
Shen Qingyue didn't expect Ye Yiyi to really help her, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart.
"Second Miss, I don't know what to do without you."
"When you return to the Shen family, don't forget me."
"The great kindness of the second young lady, Qingyue will never forget it in this life."
Ye Yiyi took her hand, "Try on these clothes, you will definitely amaze everyone tomorrow." β
After Shen Qingyue left, Ye Yiyi immediately changed her face and wiped her hands in disgust.
"I really haven't seen the world, and she treats the old clothes I don't want as if they were any treasures."
Xue Liu echoed, "Second Miss, don't worry about her. β
"Is it all arranged?"
"It's arranged."
Ye Yiyi couldn't stop snickering joy when she thought of what was going to happen tomorrow.
"If that Yun Yao is willing to listen to us, the person you arranged must stop Shen Qingyue and not let her show up. If she doesn't want to, then she has to be exposed. β
