Ye Jinsu laughed even more happily than before, as if she had heard a good joke, "If I remember correctly, Grandmother was still on her way back then. She was very far away from the capital. Father did not leak the information, so how could I know that Grandmother had returned to the capital? "

"Isn't it too inappropriate for my second sister to lie?"

Ye Jingru's face turned pale.

"It must be you. You knew the news in advance, so you came to incite my Ru'er."

Ye Jinsu smiled and spoke calmly, "Don't tell me Second Mother is confused and is speaking nonsense?"

"Since there's no evidence, then you can slander me with your bare teeth. Second Mother, are you trying to hide something?" Ye Jinsu smiled and said with a hint of meaning in his words.

The old lady's pinky moved, signalling for Ye Jinsu to stop, and asked: "You said cover up? "What do you mean by cover up?"

Ye Jinsu lowered her head and nodded, "In reply to Grandmother's words, granddaughter remembers that when the news came out, the servants of the Qing Lotus Courtyard would talk the most. His granddaughter guessed that his second younger sister must have been dissatisfied with Lady Shixiang at that time, for the servants to overhear her. "

The old lady's eyebrows knitted together in anger.

Ye Jinru was trembling with anger, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Ye Jinsu smiled apologetically, "I must be thinking like a petty person towards a prince. Since second sister has a dignified character, she definitely wouldn't do such a thing."

"If it was just rumors spreading like this, I would have guessed so. "I don't know what the other servants will think, so I might as well take this opportunity to investigate, and return the innocence of my second sister."

Ye Jinsu spoke with sincerity, as if she was really thinking for Ye Jingru's sake. However, Ye Jinru was panicking as she stuttered, "No! "No way!"

Ye Jinsu looked at Ye Jingru's flustered expression and smiled, "Second sister doesn't want to be investigated. Could this really be true?"

Ye Jingru could not wait to bite off her silver teeth.

How could she investigate? When she first investigated this matter, she used a lot of people from Ye Zheng's courtyard. It would be a big deal if they found out that he and his mother had planted themselves in Ye Shisui's yard and bribed their trusted aides.

Ye Jingru could only cast a pleading gaze at the Xie Clan.

The Xie Clan knew what Ye Jingru was thinking and opened her mouth, "She is the second lady of the Ye Residence, and because it is such a trivial matter, she should investigate the courtyard thoroughly."

"If word of this gets out, how can we, Ru Er, continue to be human?" "Master, you can't do this to Ru'er."

Ye Zhenzheng's heart softened, and he did not believe Ye Jinsu's words. She supported Madam Xie up, "I know who Ru'er is the most. Is there even a need to investigate?"

"Father's words are incorrect," Ye Jinsu said. "That's why we have to investigate even more."

"Although you know what sort of person she is, outsiders don't. Moreover, this matter is related to Miss Si Xiang, so it is impossible for one to be careless. " Ye Jinsu said.

The words were directed at Ye Zhenzheng, but they were meant for the old lady.

From beginning to end, Ye Zheng had leaned towards that Xie family. Now, even if it was just a search of the yard, Ye Shisui still had to obey her.

As it turned out, she no longer had the slightest bit of dignity as a mother. The old lady was infuriated and slammed the table fiercely. "Investigate!"

"Shui Sang, send a few people from my yard to investigate!"

Ye Jingru and Xie Shi's faces completely fell.

If it was before, even if they wanted to investigate and let others investigate, at least they could do something about it. This mansion was basically filled with the Xie Clan's people, so they weren't afraid of anything. Now, everyone in the Old Granny's courtyard was most likely following the Old Granny's wishes.

No problem, I have to find her a problem as well.

Ye Jingru was so anxious that her tears fell as she tightly held onto her wife's sleeve.

Madame Xie's eyes darted around as she suddenly said, "Investigate. Since the old lady says she wants to investigate, we might as well investigate and get to the bottom of this."

"Why don't we send some people from Master's courtyard with us?" She looked at him.

The old lady had been inside the house for many years, and when she saw Madame Xie speak up, she knew something was wrong. She stopped her immediately. "There's no need to trouble yourself. There's still a bunch of people in my old lady's courtyard."

Madame Xie's face paled, afraid that the old lady would discover something else. She was so anxious that blood dripped from her heart.

Si Xiang walked in from behind and knelt in front of the old lady. "I beg of you, old lady, please give me justice. Please give me justice, old master."

Si Xiang was filled with anger. She had suffered such a heavy slap for no reason at all. She couldn't just bear with it like that.

Now that the situation was on her side, she naturally had to add more firewood. The bigger the fire, the better. It would be best if they burned the Xie Clan to death.

Old Granny's heart ached for Si Xiang. Seeing her beautiful face in such a state, tears welled up in her eyes from anger.

Ye Shisui was also in a dilemma. The situation had already turned chaotic.

Ye JinSu was the only one left in the corner.

After an unknown amount of time, Shui Sang came back first and whispered into the old lady's ear. The old lady's expression changed drastically, and the teacup beside her fell to the ground.

Everyone trembled in fear. No one dared to make a single sound.

The old lady stood up from her seat, walked over to Ye Shisui and pointed a trembling finger at him. What a muddle! "

Ye Shisan was shocked by the old lady's reaction and asked her, "What did you find out?"

Shui Sang did not dare to speak, only lowering his head and saying, "When the people arrive, the old master will naturally make a distinction."

The old lady was already old, and now that she was being harassed like this, the scenery in front of her eyes turned dark. His chest felt extremely stuffy.

Shui Sang quickly helped her back to her room, where he and Xie Shicheng looked at each other. Ye Zheng was at a loss and anxious, while the Xie family was panicking and anxious.

Ye Zhenzheng felt a bad feeling in his heart.

There was a hubbub of voices from outside.

Not long later, several people from the Cyan Yard arrived. Most of them were girls with relatively high status, some were in Ye Shisan's courtyard, and some were in the kitchen in the backyard.

Master Ye came with a pen and paper in his hand. He was sitting at the back with his nose to see what was on his mind.

Shui Sang walked out from his room and said, "Master, we found these people when we were searching. They are linked to each other."

"A lot of them come from the money," Shui Sang said expressionlessly, "In addition, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and there are even more maids and servants who are the Madame's trusted aides. However, because of the large number of people, it's not good to bring them one by one and count them, so we only bet on these leaders."

The old lady was lying in her room with a splitting headache. She kept saying, "You are really stupid! I have a pack of jackals by my side! "

Ye Shou froze on the spot. There were all kinds of expressions on his face. Some of the people below him were old men who had followed him for more than ten years. He was actually one of the Xie Clan's trusted aides, and he dared not to believe it.

Ye Jinsu tilted her head slightly to the side and asked Little Red, "How's the situation with the Old Master?"

Xiao Hong raised its head and looked at the sky, "It should be soon, Miss."

Ye Jinsu retracted her gaze and remained calm.

Standing in the hall, Shui Sang spoke up for the old lady, "The old lady has instructed that this is not a small matter. Please do your best to investigate and find out how many people the Madam has. "

Ye Zheng stood in the hall for a long time, not daring to believe what he had just heard.

He grabbed Madame Xie's hand and asked her, "Yu'er, are these all real?"

She shook her head, tears streaming down her face, "Ah Ya, Yu'er didn't."

Whether or not she had the final say, Shui Sang once again said, "Madam, the old lady also said that it's better for you to speak less for the sake of avoiding suspicion."

"Master has his own decision on this matter."
