"Well, it makes sense. It really can't be so cheap, ye ChuChu!"
Ye Wei nodded approvingly, and then handed the marriage letter hidden in her sleeve to Ye Xiyue.
"That's it. Look, I searched the whole room and found it in the dark box under the bed panel. My mother likes to hide valuable things under the panel. Unexpectedly, the housekeeper is also."
Ye Xiyue took the old yellow marriage letter in his hand. After opening it, she saw several lines of regular script vows.
"The marriage of the two surnames is a contract of marriage, and the marriage will last forever. The match has the same name. Look at the peach blossoms burning the next day, yiroomikea, and the melons rolling in the year of divination. I would like to write to Hongjian with a white head appointment, so that the alliance of red leaves can be recorded in the Mandarin spectrum."
"You see, Chu Yun behind the oath is the lady's maiden name, and Qiu Qiming on the side is the housekeeper's name. There are their fingerprints below. This is irrefutable evidence."
Although Ye Wei only stayed in the prime minister's house for a few days, he suffered inhuman torture, and all this was done by the housekeeper instructed by Chu Yun, plus ye ChuChu.
Now he wants to bring these three down together and let them taste the pain!
"OK, I'll take this wedding letter first. It can be of great use at that time. Of course, no matter whether it can be done today, I'll go to your mother's side to see it. I'll send someone to find you when I have news."
Ye Wei nodded, "OK, thank you. I'll do something first and wait for your news."
"Wait!"
He just turned around and was stopped by Ye Xiyue. He looked back in surprise, but saw her take out a small porcelain vase from her arms and hand it to him.
"Take it. It can be used to wipe your wounds. The effect is pretty good."
Ye Wei subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it. The small porcelain bottle also took Ye Xiyue's temperature and a little warm, just like a warm current that warmed his heart in an instant.
Although she had such a big black birthmark on her face, he looked at her and thought she was more beautiful than ye ChuChu.
This sentence is true indeed!
Being looked at by Ye Wei with grateful eyes, ye Xiyue smiled and whispered, "well, don't be stunned, let's go."
"OK."
Ye Wei answered, turned and walked out quickly.
……
Ye ChuChu covered his face and hurried to the inner yard on the other side with anger, ready to find her mother to help her out.
She walked very fast, turned the corridor and went straight to Chu Yun's yard. As soon as she entered, she ran into a servant girl with a tea cup.
"Ah!"
The servant girl was hit and staggered, and the hot tea in the tea cup splashed out, and some splashed on ye ChuChu's chest.
With a "pa", ye ChuChu raised his hand and slammed it, directly beating the little servant girl's face to one side.
"Excuse me, miss. I didn't mean it. Excuse me, miss!"
The little servant girl's face was burning with pain. It was clearly that ye ChuChu hit her and the tea splashed out, but she was the one who pleaded guilty.
She knelt on the ground, half of her cheeks swollen high, and the whole person trembled like a sieve.
Because I know ye ChuChu's temperament and know that if I don't complain at this time, I will be punished.
Ye ChuChu was already angry. Although his clothes were splashed a little, he was still angry.
She raised her foot and kicked it on the little servant girl, directly kicking people over.
"You don't have long eyes, don't you want to die!"
Ye ChuChu kicked the man over, but he didn't release his anger. He kicked her again.
The servant girl was kicked so pale that she fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
"Well, what's the trouble! Clear, look at what you look like. You're a lady, not a shrew!"
Suddenly, the female voice stopped ye ChuChu's movement. She looked up and saw Chu Yun, and immediately rushed over with red eyes.
"Mother, you have to decide for your daughter!"
Ye ChuChu jumped into Chu Yun's arms and told her everything about today. He also pointed to the fingerprint on his cheek with a wronged face.
"Mom, you have to decide for your daughter. Look at Dad, he... He beat me for that bitch! And that bitch, she told me to bark like a dog and hurt my face!"
Half of her cheek was slightly swollen, but the little blood mark left by the top of the dagger had disappeared, leaving only a little less obvious.
Chu Yun looked at her face, showing a trace of heartache on her face, but the bottom of her eyes was cold, "you said that ye Xiyue's mind has recovered, and your face was beaten by your father?"
"Yes, Niang, more than that, ye Xiyue said she would not let me go or you go. She said she wanted to get all the things we owed her back!"
"Oh, get it back. I'll see why she can get it back! She thought Xiao lie woke up and she had a backer. Dream!"
Chu Yun knew that there were guests in the front yard. She was originally ordered by Ye Zhiyuan to go out to meet the guests. Seeing that her daughter was bullied, she naturally wouldn't swallow it.
"I'll go out with my mother later. Take care of your mouth. Don't say anything. My mother will help you out. You know?"
Ye ChuChu took her arm and bit her lower lip, "but mom, my father ordered the servants to lock me up and said I couldn't go out without his orders. I escaped those people and came out of the room without permission. Will my father be angry when I go out?"
Ye Zhiyuan used to dote on her. She could do anything, but today she got a slap. She suddenly understood that in fact, his father didn't indulge her in everything.
So when she went out like this, she was still worried that ye Zhiyuan would be angry.
Chu Yun reached out and patted her on the back of her hand. "I'm not afraid. My mother is here. My mother will protect you!"
She said this on her face and smiled gently to comfort ye ChuChu, but there were huge waves in her heart.
What kind of person Ye Zhiyuan is. She has married him for so long. She knows clearly in her heart that she is a person whose interests are supreme.
Naturally, he won't care about ye Xiyue's waste daughter. Only Xiao lie will care. He will slap clearly. It must be Xiao lie who wants to protect Ye Xiyue.
Chu Yun was calm, holding ye ChuChu's hand and going out together, but countless thoughts flashed in her heart in order to deal with the situation for a while.
……
According to what ye Wei told her, ye Xiyue touched the back kitchen and found a woman squatting in the corner washing vegetables.
She squatted there. Her figure looked very burly and her back was very wide. She was not as thin and delicate as ordinary women. Her hair was also very rough. Her hands were dark and thick when she was washing vegetables. It seemed that she was used to doing farm work.
She was surprised and raised her eyebrows. Qiu Qiming was also the housekeeper of the prime minister's residence. His wife arranged to do the heaviest work in the back kitchen, which was against common sense.
"Mrs. Qiu?"
Ye Xiyue stepped forward and shouted.
There is no one in the back kitchen at this time. Lunch has just passed and dinner is still early. Most of the servants are busy with other things. At present, there are only two of them in the whole back kitchen.
The woman subconsciously looked back when she heard the voice. The face revealed in front of Ye Xiyue was exactly the appearance of a rural village woman.
His complexion is dark, his skin is rough, his face is large, and his facial features are extremely mediocre. Although Qiu Qiming looks ordinary, he also looks like a scholar. At first glance, the two people standing together must feel mismatched.
"Are you calling me?"
Ye Xiyue hooked her lips and showed a warm smile on her face. "I heard that Mrs. Qiu came from the countryside recently. I should have never seen me. I'm Ye Xiyue. My wife should have heard my name. I want my wife to do me a favor. I don't know if my wife can help me?"
……
Ye Xiyue left the back kitchen and went to the front hall, ready to find Xiao lie and see a good play later.
The guest from the prime minister's house is the carefree king Qi Jingrui, who is the favorite son of the former Emperor.
At the beginning, the first emperor wanted him to inherit the throne, but later he didn't know what was going on. The first emperor died and the imperial edict left passed the throne to today's emperor. Qi Jingrui had only the name of King Xiaoyao, but he didn't have much real power.
He had some private friends with Xiao lie. It was originally heard that he woke up and was going to visit the general's house. Later, he knew that Xiao lie had come to the prime minister's house, so he simply came here directly.
Qi Jingrui is a prince in the end. Now the holy emperor obviously loves him very much, so he knows he is coming. Ye Zhiyuan personally went to the door to meet him.
Many servants and servant girls were also arranged in the front hall. The housekeeper poured tea by himself, which can be seen from his attitude.
When ye Xiyue moved in from the corner of the door, she saw a man dressed in royal clothes and holding a folding fan in his hand.
He shook the fan gently in his hand, smiled wantonly, and talked to Xiao lie all the time.
Xiao lie was cold on his face. Sometimes he said a few words back to him, and sometimes he didn't even respond. Even so, he was still enthusiastic.
As soon as ye Xiyue walked in a few steps, the remaining light from the corner of Xiao lie's eyes caught a glimpse of her figure. He immediately got up from the chair, walked to her in three or two steps, directly took her hand and pulled her in.
Qi Jingrui was about to talk to Xiao lie. When he looked up, he found that there was no one. Looking forward, he saw that Xiao lie came over holding Ye Xiyue's hand.
Looking at the clasped hands, it was the first time he saw Xiao lie as close as a personal ice cube. He guessed Ye Xiyue's identity in an instant.
He got up slightly and smiled gracefully on his lips, "General Xiao, this is my sister-in-law's wife. She looks very beautiful."
Ye Xiyue smoked at the corners of her mouth when she heard the speech. This compliment is really not distracted. If her face is really beautiful, how strange the aesthetics of the carefree king in front of her.
But obviously, this compliment is very useful to Xiao lie.
He looked at Qi Jingrui. For the first time, he showed a faint smile on his face. He didn't say anything. He just took Ye Xiyue to sit down in his position, and he sat on her side.
Ye Xiyue was still the fool in front of Ye Zhiyuan, so she lowered her head and pulled Xiao lie's sleeve all the way. She didn't say a word and sat waiting for the good play to begin.
