Chapter 78

Tan did not expect, a wave is not flat, a wave again, the tan family affair is not over, ye Zongyi is looking for trouble for her again.

"You're really... Forget it. It's all over. You should go to grandma's house to hide for some time. You'll come back when your father's down."

Ye Zongyi looked anxiously at Tan: "mother, father won't go after grandma, will he? If he catches me, he has to kill me. "

Tan's angry white Ye Zongyi one eye: "how? Now you know how to be afraid? Why should I have known that? Can't you just stay at home? "

Ye Zongyi took Tan's hand and said coquettishly, "mother, you know that my son is a person who can't stay. He has no interest, but he was told by his father that he couldn't stay. He had no choice but to go to chunmanlou. But you don't know that the beauties from the western regions are like Buddhas and fairies. I..."

Before he finished, Tan impatiently interrupted: "enough, I don't want to hear you say this, you go to grandma's, no matter how angry your father is, he will never go to the tan family important person, you are not going, when he comes back, no one can save you."

Hearing this, ye Zongyi left the Peony Pavilion dejectedly and rushed to the direction of the tan family.

Tan looked at the disheartened son, but shook his head and sighed: "Alas! When on earth will you be able to save my mother's energy? "

Soon, ye Lanyuan returns to the prime minister's residence from chunmanlou. After searching all the places, he can't find ye zongyise. He claims that when he comes back, his legs will be broken.

Tan sent guanyue to inquire about the news, and learned that ye Lanyuan didn't expect that ye Zongyi had arrived at Tan's home, so he was secretly relieved.

It was not until late at night that ye Hongshuang climbed over the wall to return to the prime minister's residence. She looked at the direction of the Peony Pavilion, her mouth slightly up, and pulled up a touch of condensation.

Tan's languid lying on the bed, Wanyue flurried into the door: "madam, big... Something's wrong."

Tan raised her eyes and looked at guanyue. She could not help frowning. She only wore one shoe, and her face was extremely pale. She was holding a letter in her hand.

"What's so flustered?"

Guan Yue handed the letter to Tan Shi with a look of shock: "madam, you'd better read it in person."

Tan's puzzled will open the letter in his hand, by candlelight saw Juanxiu font written a few lines of words.

"If you don't want your son to die, tomorrow noon, prepare 1000 Liang silver to be sent to the old locust tree in the west of the city. You can also report to the government. In that case, ye Zongyi may survive, but I don't guarantee that he will return to the prime minister's house in good health."

Seeing this, Tan almost didn't fall off the bed, and his hand holding the letter was shaking.

"Guanyue, go and get the second lady."

Guanyue takes orders and rushes out of the Peony Pavilion to find ye yanrou.

Soon ye yanrou came to tan with sleepy eyes: "is Zongyi tied? Can mother believe such nonsense? "

Tan settled down and handed the letter to ye yanrou: "now, no matter what, the letter has been sent to me. We have to guard against it. You'd better go to grandma to have a look. If your brother is safe and sound with grandma, it's natural that he won't attack himself. If he's not, we can make plans as early as possible."

Ye yanrouman is disdainful to pick eyebrows: "recently, so many things have happened, and now Zongyi has been tied up. I'm not surprised. Since you don't trust me, I'll go and have a look. However, in my opinion, it's just a rumor. Besides, it's late at night. Will you go to grandma's place..."

Tan closed his head: "naturally, I know. It's only two or three miles from the prime minister's residence to your grandmother's, and I'm in Beijing. Who would so boldly hijack your brother? But for his safety's sake, don't worry whether it's late at night. You should go and have a look first. Don't tell your grandmother at this time, just let her worry, you know?"

Ye yanrou took a deep breath: "OK, I know."

She helplessly put the letter on the desk, then left the Peony Pavilion and went to the tan family.

Tan frowned and said to Guan Yue, "put away the letter. Don't let the master find it."

As she collected the letter, she asked: "madam, shouldn't you tell the master immediately about such a big thing? Why hide it? "

Tan looked thoughtfully at ye yanrou's back and sighed: "Alas! The master is still angry. If the master finds out the young master, he will be beaten and maimed even if he is not killed. Why do you want to hide it? "

Guanyue nodded, not saying much.

Ye yanrou just left the prime minister's house. Ye Hongshuang came out from the dark corner. There was a look of disdain in her amber eyes, and a sneer on her lips.

An hour later, ye yanrou turns back and runs to the Peony Pavilion in a panic.

Sure enough, ye yanrou went to Tan's home. Ye Zongyi had never been there. At this moment, Tan was really flustered.

She ordered guanyue to take out some jewelry and go to the pawn shop tomorrow morning. So far, in order not to be discovered by Ye Lanyuan, she could not use the money of the prime minister's office, so she had to sell her jewelry.

The whole night, Tan did not close his eyes, can not help but worry about the safety of Ye Zongyi.

The next morning, ye Hongshuang woke up early, dressed up and left the prime minister's residence.

Before noon, Tan took a thousand taels of silver and came to the west of the city with ye yanrou.

Near noon, Tan personally put the silver under the old locust tree. She was not stupid and did not leave. Instead, she and ye yanrou hid in the dark, trying to find out who would take the silver quietly.

The west side of the city is remote, and usually no one will pass by. The waiting time is always long. Just when ye yanrou is a little impatient, a man in a strong black dress and black gauze appears in her sight.

Tan frowned slightly and stared at the man in black for a moment, watching him take the silver away.

She gave ye yanrou a wink, and they followed her all the way.

Ye yanrou clearly saw the man in black walking into the alley, but when the mother and daughter arrived, they didn't see a half figure, only a letter was on the ground.

Tan closed his eyes thoughtfully and quickly picked up the letter on the ground and opened it.

"Ye Zongyi is safe and sound. He will return home in three days. If he keeps up, not only your son's life is in danger, but also your mother and daughter will never leave alive."

Tan's face was full of indignation, and her hand holding the letter was shaking slightly. She tore the letter to pieces, gritted her teeth and cried out: "you mean bastard, don't you mean that you will release Zongyi after receiving the money? If you have the courage to hijack him, don't you have the courage to come out and see him? "

No matter how abusive she is, no matter how hysterical she yells, the other party doesn't show up.
