The sound of rain fell unceasingly, and the cold wind blew again. The rain made his face feel very cold, but it also made him sober. Ye Jinxiu's eyelashes trembled as if she had thought of something.
Tightening her clothes, the worry on Ye Jinsu's face faded as she entered the room. "It's not easy to do things in the rain, but it's not impossible."
Xiao Hong was in the middle of closing the window when she suddenly heard Ye Jinsu's words. She asked in puzzlement, "What does Miss mean?"
Ye Jinsu leisurely sat there drinking tea. Her eyebrows were curled up as she thought of a cat, and her eyes were shining, "Recently, the Old Master seems to have caused quite a ruckus?"
Little Red nodded and sighed, "I heard that the Lord is still angry with the Lord and has been telling the Lord to divorce the Lady. But after so many days, the Lord hasn't made any big moves."
It was obvious that the old master did not want to divorce his wife.
Even though she could see it clearly through a maid, the Old Master insisted on doing it. That day was the only chance the Xie Clan had to die. The Old Master had been screaming for so long, but still hadn't been able to drag the Xie Clan down. Now that it had been so long, what was the use of mentioning it again?
"In the end, Miss is right. The one who really has the right to speak in this mansion is the old master. Even if the Old Master is an elder, he is still just an old man. Without any real power, he can only rely on filial piety to lead the Old Master. "
"But our old master is obviously not that kind of person. It's better to rely on ourselves than our old master." Little Red said snappily.
She finally understood now.
Ye Jinshu laughed in agreement. She was used to this, so she might as well listen to some idle jokes.
If she were to pay attention to all the filth in this courtyard, she would lose at least ten years of her lifespan.
"Go and call Chun Hua over. I have some orders for her." Ye Jinsu put down the tea and said.
Xiao Hong did not ask any further and nodded before leaving.
These few days, the Xie Clan had been extremely well-behaved. They never went out of the house, never contacted the outside world, and never caused a ruckus. Perhaps it was because the rain had obstructed the Xie Clan's movements.
Or perhaps when the Xie Clan guessed what they were going to do, they intentionally did the opposite.
No matter which one it was, it was always disadvantageous to him.
However, even though there was no movement in the garden, it did not mean that it was the same outside. The farmer's house saw it several times, and people were sneaking up near the east garden. Unfortunately, the East District was guarded, making it difficult to get close.
There was still a way to break through.
Ye Jinsu looked at Chun Hua and said, "I want the Xie Clan to be ill in the East District for a while. It's best if they stay bedridden, but don't kill them."
"Is there any way?" Ye Jinsu asked.
Chun Hua was stunned for a moment and then immediately said: "That's simple. The weather has been cold recently, and the bedding and clothes in the east garden haven't been changed. This servant told the old gatekeeper to do something at night and let his wife blow the cold wind. "
"Madam's injuries have yet to recover, so naturally, she will be sick from the cold."
Ye Jinsu smiled. Good idea. It was just a cold. Even if Ye Zheng realized it and started questioning him, he couldn't blame anyone else.
Ye Jinshu tapped on the map, "That's what I'll do."
Xiao Hong watched as Chun Hua left and asked curiously, "Miss, what are you doing?"
Ye Jinsu smiled meaningfully and spat out a few words, "Please enter the urn."
Wasn't that man extremely emotional? Let me see how deep he is.
Things didn't go smoothly, Huaiyu protected her master. The gatekeeper of the East District had to pester her for three or four days before he managed to make her sick. The sickness came like a landslide, and the Xie Clan's illness caused them to lose consciousness.
When Chun Hua came over to answer him, she was still a bit worried.
Ye Jinsu sneered. She was lucky to have died from illness.
It was currently evening and the sky was getting dark. Judging from this, it would be dark in another hour.
The rain was getting heavier. Xiao Hong looked at the sky and said hesitantly, "Miss, do you really want to go? "Why don't you let me go?"
It was raining so heavily, could something have happened?
Ye Jinsu nodded firmly and urged, "You're the one who should take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the situation. Hurry up and bring me all of your clothes, you won't be able to do it by yourself."
Xiao Hong held two sets of common maid clothing, as well as two sets of raincoats. He handed it over to Ye Jinsu helplessly and didn't say anything more.
It was difficult to reverse the decision of the young mistress.
However, she still prepared to speak up. "Miss …"
Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard. Meng Lan ran in and passed on a message, "Auntie Shui Sang has come to deliver a message saying that the Old Master wishes to see Miss."
Little Red quickly hid the clothes. Ye Jinsu calmly looked outside and walked out.
Shui Sang was waiting outside and bowed when he saw Ye Jinsu. "Miss, the Old Master said he wants to see the Miss. Would Miss and your servant please come over?"
Ye Jinsu frowned. Why did they have to do it at this time?
"What did you say?" Ye Jinsu asked.
Shui San shook his head, not knowing if he was unwilling to reveal it or not. "The heavens only said that they wanted to see the young mistress. As for the specifics, we'll know once the young lady arrives."
Ye Jinxiu lowered her eyes and her thoughts were in a mess for a moment. He directly sent Shui Sang to pass on the message; it seemed like he had to be brought over.
She had no reason to refuse.
After a moment of silence, Ye Jinsu spoke up, "Auntie, please wait for a moment. I will change my clothes."
After returning to the house, Ye Jinsu had a serious expression on her face.
Xiao Hong heard everything from inside the house and already had an idea. However, Ye Jinsu already had an idea. The two of them looked at each other and spoke.
"Miss, I'll go."
"Don't go today."
As soon as he said that, Ye Jinsu's expression became serious again.
Xiao Hong insisted, "The news of Madam's illness has already been spread throughout the palace. Master will know very soon. If we miss tonight, we might not have a chance in the future. "
Ye Jinsu was right about one thing. With such a heavy rain, it was most suitable to fish in troubled waters.
Mash this pond full of fish and prawns.
Afraid that Ye Jinxiu would not agree, Xiao Hong spoke up again, "Miss, don't waste your efforts. I will definitely protect you!"
The people outside were still waiting.
Ye Jinsu was silent for a long time before she finally gave in, "Alright."
"But remember, your life is more important than the Xie Clan's. Don't lose yourself." Ye Jinsu spoke very seriously, looking at Xiao Hong with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Little Red's nose suddenly turned sour.
The young lady really thought of her as a sister.
Xiao Hong nodded solemnly and replied with red eyes, "Alright, I'll remember it."
Only then did Ye Jinsu smile, change her clothes, and leave the room. In the rain that filled the sky, she suddenly felt a little flustered, her heart beating abnormally hard. Ye Jinxiu couldn't help but think back to the time when Xiao Hong was injured because of her.
She was worried.
But there was nothing she could do now.
Closing her eyes, Ye Jinsu took a deep breath. She comforted herself that the current Xiao Hong was much more intelligent than the one before. She would know how to protect herself.
Hopefully … Hopefully …
