The bulging bag of cloth was opened by Ye Zhenzi. Everyone stretched their necks to see what was going on. For a moment, no one said anything.
In the silence, there was a light sound. On the cloth around them, there were a few round bells. Because the opening movement was too big, a few bells fell down, letting out a crisp sound on the ground.
That golden light was too dazzling. Ye Jinsu's hand, hidden in his sleeve, suddenly tightened. His heart was instantly lifted, and even his breathing became unstable.
However, he still maintained a cold expression and lowered his eyes slightly.
The candle flame flickered in her face.
For a moment, Ye Chong didn't recognize the sound, but the old lady could only watch helplessly as the golden bells rolled down the stairs. Mixed with the wet soil, it became dull.
The old lady jumped up from her seat and looked at Aunt Kong. "This …" "What is this?"
The old lady was already old, so she only had a rough idea of what was going on.
Aunt Kong followed up, "That's right. This is the bell that appeared in the old lady's room when she was causing trouble. It was said to be the bell that Master Si Xiang wore on her body when she was still alive."
The hand holding Little Red's umbrella suddenly shook as it stared at Aunt Kong in shock.
It was impossible for such a thing to appear in a late spring garden. When Shuofeng was doing well, she had rushed out to take the rest of the bells and destroy them.
This could only be blamed on the Xie Clan.
Xiao Hong looked anxiously at Ye Jinsu. Ye Jinsu shook her head and couldn't sit still anymore. She took two steps forward and picked up the bell on the ground.
Before Ye Jinsu could pick up the bell and speak, Ye Zheng's stifled red face rushed over. The remaining few bells along with the cloth bag were thrown at Ye Jinsu's face.
Ye Shisui finally realized that Ye Jinsu was the culprit behind this incident!
Causing him to go through so much trouble, causing this house to become restless, causing Yu'er to suffer so much grievance, and scaring the old lady into old age. All of this was something that she, Ye Jinxiu, had done.
Ye Zheng was itching to get someone to beat her to death.
Ye Jinsu was slapped hard on the face. The soft cloth strips fell on her face. It didn't hurt, but the feeling was very strong. Her smooth fingernails dug into the gaps of the bell. Ye Jinsu looked down at the bell and turned it.
It was exactly the same.
It's exactly like what she did.
Even long-term wear and tear is the same...
Ye Jinsu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
If she could do it, the Xie Clan could as well.
Putting his hands down, Ye Jinsu kneeled down. He asked coldly, "Aunt Kong, have you found anything else?"
Aunt Kong, on the other hand, was neither servile nor overbearing. "Apart from this bell, there's nothing else out of the ordinary. However, when this servant asked Cui Er about her, I discovered that she was a little unusual. "
"This servant thinks that there is a problem with Cui Er."
Ye JinSu sneered when she heard this. She turned her head to look at Aunt Kong, "You found something unusual with Cui Er?"
"Aunt Kong really knows my courtyard's people like the back of her hand. She even knows how they normally look like."
Aunt Kong's expression changed. She panicked a little and said, "I have been in the Ye Residence for dozens of years. I think people have good eyes."
Ye Jinsu did not expose her and turned to look at the old lady, "Your granddaughter is completely unaware of this."
The old lady didn't move as she sat on the chair, but it was obvious that she was greatly shocked as she stared at Ye Jinsu with wide eyes. For a time, things had completely changed. Even she, Ye Jinxiu, had to pay more attention to this matter.
Seeing that the old lady did not say anything, Ye Chong threw his clothes back to the side and took back the power of speech.
"Men, investigate this Cui Er!"
He restrained his anger and did not immediately punish Ye Jinsu because he was worried about the Old Granny and the Old Master. However, things had already come to this point. Ye Mo immediately picked up Xie Shi and Ye Jinru and brought them in from the rain. Feeling heartbroken, he put on his cloak.
Madame Xie knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness, crying miserably. "Old master, believe me, I really didn't harm little sister Si Xiang."
Of course, Ye Zheng believed her.
Ye JinRu felt cold and her voice turned hoarse from crying. She finally had a place to vent her anger. She could not help but pounce towards Ye Jinsu and raise her hand.
The palm in the air suddenly dropped down, but was stopped.
Xiao Hong threw away its umbrella and ran all the way over, pushing Ye Jingru away in one breath.
"Second Miss, whether our Eldest Miss is at fault or not is up to the Old Granny and Old Master to decide. You can't touch her without permission!"
Little Red's voice was calm and powerful.
On this cold rainy night, Ye Jinsu felt an inexplicable sense of warmth. Ye Jinsu smiled faintly and looked at Xiao Hong's determined profile as it tried to protect her.
"Father, it's better if you bring your second sister to rest first. A moment of cold is not a small matter. If she suffers from it, it will be a big matter." Ye Jinsu opened his mouth again and looked up at Ye Shisui.
Ye Shisui was on the verge of erupting in rage. He almost wanted to attack again.
Ye JinRu was pushed down by Xiao Hong and fell to the ground. But in Ye Zizai's eyes, this was not a fall, this was a fall on Ye Zizai's heart.
Ye Jinsu's words were useful as expected. After hesitating over scolding Xiao Hong and sending Ye JinRu off, he finally chose to send her off without hesitation.
Seeing that Xiao Hong was fine, Ye Jinsu finally felt relieved.
"Little Red," Ye Jinsu suddenly called lightly.
As he handed the bell to Little Red, Ye Jinsu asked, "Can you tell what's so special about this bell?"
Lil 'Red held it and read it for a long time. After carefully inspecting it many times, it shook its head and replied, "Miss, there's nothing special about this bell."
Ye Jinxiu smiled in satisfaction. Indeed, there was nothing special about it.
"Then, how many clans in the capital can make such an ordinary bell? "How many stores can you buy?"
This is a big area. Lil 'Red thought for a moment and said, "There are so many shops in the capital. The style of this bell is ordinary, but every shop has it."
Hearing Xiao Hong's words, the old lady's expression finally changed.
Back then, Ye Jinxiu had chosen to use this bell just for its ordinary design, something that could be bought anywhere. Now that he was going to use Madame Xie instead, Aunt Kong started to get anxious.
"What Eldest Miss means is that the number of bells cannot be counted?"
Ye Jinxiu did not say anything, but Little Red accepted it without a trace of politeness. "A bell that can be bought anywhere. You might have intentionally bought it to blame my family's Miss!"
Aunt Kong was shut up and shut her mouth in anger.
Ye Zheng looked at Ye Jinsu with displeasure, then turned to Cui'er, who was tied up on the side. Since the bell did not have any major breakthroughs, he would first examine Cui Er.
He wanted to see what other tricks this Ye Jinsu had up her sleeve.
But before Ye Song could say anything, the old lady suddenly stood up with her crutch. "No …"
"Si Xiang's bell is different …"
