Ye Jinsu closed her eyes and allowed the rain to fall on her face.
She suddenly began to hate the heavens for plugging her back into such a body. The feeling of being alone made Ye Jinsu feel cold all around.
She was surrounded by cliffs, and everyone was looking forward to pushing her down.
However, Ye Jinxiu did not regret it. She did not regret that swing of the stick. If only that was the only way to protect Little Red, she would not regret anything.
The only sound that could be heard in the rainy night was the constant patter of the rain. It was a growing trend. As the raindrops fell, Ye Jinsu's thoughts were also thrown into disorder.
In the quiet yard, a grey figure suddenly appeared on the corridor. Xiao Hong opened its eyes wide and looked. Suddenly, it shook Ye Jinsu.
When Ye Jinsu opened her eyes, she saw the Old Master standing on the porch.
The Old Master seemed to have said something first, and Ye Jinsu could not hear clearly through the rain.
"I know. Si Xiang's death has nothing to do with you." The Old Master suddenly spoke to Ye Jinsu, lowering his head as if he was sighing.
"As for my wife, I will speak for you."
"I can't help you with the current situation," the Old Master said. "But you are the daughter of the Ye residence, so I won't let you die."
The Old Master paced back and forth. He didn't have any feelings for Ye Jinsu, and he couldn't be considered unprotective either. However, Ye Jinsu was still the bloodline of his Ye Clan. His son was confused, and he wasn't confused.
No matter what, it was still a life, so he could still protect it.
"Although your personality looks calm, it's actually the most lively. It is also easy to be impulsive. It is not suitable to stay in the House of Ye. "
Ye Jinsu looked at the blurry figure in front of her, and her eyes suddenly lit up. The rain was so heavy that it was hard to tell whether tears had fallen or not.
In the end, the Old Master waved his sleeves. "You're a smart child …"
Halfway through his words, he stopped.
"I'll find you a good doctor in two days, so don't be too sad."
With that, he turned and left.
Ye Jinsu suddenly felt her back sink. She could not help but bend down and bury her face. The faint sound of her crying could not be heard clearly in the rainy night.
Meng Lan arrived late in the rain. She held her umbrella and rushed into the yard. There were several red handprints on her face. There was even a hint of red on the corner of her mouth.
"Miss!" Meng Lan ran over and knelt down. She hugged the curled up Ye Jinsu and opened the umbrella above her head. Her eyes were red.
The moment Aunt Kong's men arrived, she knew something had happened. It was a pity that she was being watched and couldn't even take half a step out. What made her the most flustered was that there was probably something wrong with Hong Yun. She hadn't returned even after Jing Yun left.
After panicking for half the night, the only thing she could do was rush over at this moment.
Who knew that Ye Jinsu's situation was worse than she expected.
Meng Lanshan was two years older than Ye Jinsu, and she felt even more sorry for him. Ye Jinsu was only fourteen years old, and she was still half a year away from her prime. Yet, she had to grow up in an environment where her parents didn't love her and she was surrounded by enemies.
Meng Lan patted Ye Jinsu's back, trying to comfort her. When the words left her mouth, Meng Lan thought for a while, then opened her mouth again, "Young miss, I already told Shuofeng to go find Hong Yun, Nanny Liu and the rest."
These things should be known by Ye Jinsu.
Even if it was bad news.
Ye Jinxiu's body stiffened as she opened her red eyes, "What do you mean?"
Meng Lan looked at Ye Jinsu's face and gritted her teeth, "Something must have happened over at Shocking Cloud."
"When Aunt Kong brought someone over, I felt that something was wrong and told Jing Yun to look after Hong Yun."
"In the end, Jing Yun still hasn't returned."
Ye Jinsu suddenly tightened her grip on Meng Lan. The rain fell on her face, making it hard for her to lift her eyelids. Ye Jinxiu closed her eyes and heard Meng Lan speak, "It's fine, Miss. Jingyun followed the Prince since he was young. Who knows how many times he has walked through the Life and Death Grounds. It won't be difficult for him!"
Little Red couldn't hold it in any longer and started to cry loudly while hugging Ye Jinsu.
After a long while, Ye Jinsu asked, "Where's Jingyun?"
Meng Lan was about to say this when she saw Ye Jinsu ask. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. This meant that Ye Jinxiu hadn't fallen into despair yet.
"He's still investigating the relationship between General and Madam. There's already news." Meng Lan said.
"What news?" Ye Jinsu grabbed Meng Lan. This was the most important information, and it concerned the Xie Family's lifeline.
Meng Lan turned her head and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, she moved closer to Ye Jinsu's ear and whispered, "Privately."
Ye Jinxiu's eyes widened. She almost thought that she had misheard.
"What did you say?"
Meng Lan opened her mouth again and lowered her voice. "It's an affair."
The crime of fornication was a huge one. It was a capital offense for any woman. How dare the Xie Clan …
Ye Jinsu thought over and over again. Xie was just an ordinary raccoon girl who hooked up with Ye Zhicheng before flying onto a branch.
How was it related to General Sun?
Meng Lan saw through Ye Jinsu's doubt and explained, "When General Sun was young, he left his people and was then found by the Sun family. He made meritorious service and thus gained his current reputation as an official."
"And the place where General Sun lived in the commoners was right next to the Madam's courtyard when she was young."
"So …" Ye Jinsu said softly, as if she understood everything. "They are … childhood friends?"
"Right." Meng Lan nodded.
"When General Sun was brought back by the Sun family, he separated from his wife. After that, Madam met Master, and followed him. "
Ye Jinxiu lowered her head. "No wonder …"
The newlyweds were unreliable, and their old love was still fresh in her mind. Most importantly, this old love's power was even greater than the newlyweds'.
"Is there any evidence?" Ye Jinsu asked in a low voice.
This matter was extremely important. If he did not have concrete evidence, speaking of it would only end up harming himself.
"Not yet," Meng Lan shook her head. "The people under General Sun are all trained, so we won't be able to find any evidence."
As expected. Ye Jinxiu was not in a hurry. As long as there was an inkling of what had happened, she would definitely find out.
Thinking about it, Ye Jinsu nodded, "Alright, remember to clean up these matters."
The rain finally began to lessen after an entire night. The cold air also began to dissipate, but there was still a bit of cold left in the air. I wonder how Jing Yun is doing. Ye Jinsu lowered her head and thought.
Ye Jinsu trembled a little from the cold. She rubbed her palms together and raised her head to look at the place where the Qiuxiang Inn was located.
The Xie Clan's health was not very good to begin with. Now that they were drenched in the rain, they had been in a deep slumber ever since they returned to the house. He had a high fever and was in a daze. He did not know when it would be, but his mouth kept shouting, "Master, save me!"
The sound of it was enough to shatter Ye Ling's heart.
Ye JinRu's condition wasn't too good either, she couldn't back down even if she caught a cold.
Ye Zheng was too busy to do anything, but in the end he stayed in Xie's room, where the situation was more serious. Xie's disease was not light. His chest was tight and he was coughing violently as he lay on the bed.
Ye Mo's eyes turned red.
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said truthfully, "The odds are against us …"
