Ye Jiayao didn’t think she was so popular. When she returned to marquis house, people went to tell each other.
QiaoXi and Xiangtao rushed out, crying and laughing around her.
” Second lady, you didn’t suffer?”
” Second lady, you are back. If you don’t come back, we will all cry.”
” Second lady is a lucky woman. God will bless her. She can turn every evil into a good one.”
Everyone was talking noisily. Although they didn’t hold back tears, their smiles didn’t stretch and they were very happy.
Ye Jiayao didn’t feel bored at all, and felt well cared for.
” All right, don’t cry. Everyone go back to work. I’m back. If I find someone slacking off, I’ll punish you.” Ye Jiayao sent everyone away smiling.
Only Qiao Xi and Xiangtao were left.
Qiao Xi’s tears never stopped. She looked at second lady and said nothing.
” You also don’t cry, I’m back, right?” Ye Jiayao urged.
Xiangtao said, ” Second lady, sister Qiao Xi cries miserably these days, saying it’s her fault that doesn’t follow second lady.”
Ye Jiayao smiled and said, ” What’s the use of your following? I’m glad you doesn’t follow.”
Qiao Xi sobbed and said, ” if I follow, I can serve you somehow.”
” I’m back now, and you can continue to serve.” Ye Jiayao laughed.
” Well, I’m going to see madame at the moment, and you will go with me. By the way, do you have any news about the marquis house or anything?” Ye Jiayao wanted to go back to take a bath and change clothes first, but she thought You was still waiting for her, so she went to see You first.
Ye Jiayao got a general idea of the situation.
After her disappearance, the emperor ordered Little Jing to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Little Jing, Chunfeng, Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan all made great efforts to rush about her affairs almost every day. Her friends in Tianshang Ju Restaurant and people from the Chamber of Commerce also looked for her everywhere. If it wasn’t for everyone’s dedication, she wouldn’t have known how long she would stay in that chamber of secrets.
Qiao sent away Cuiyan, but it was not clear where she would be sent. the young master was quite well. Dr. Jiang said there should be no problem.
The duke and his wife arrived home today and rushed to save her as soon as they got home.
Ah! There were such parents-in-law, there was no need to say. They were so kind.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have Chunyu’s news all the time. It was New Year’s Eve soon. Could he come back to the Spring Festival?
When You heard the second lady had been rescued, she couldn’t sit still. The Mother Sun urged, ” Madam, you can rest assured. Second lady will come back to see you first.”
You sighed, ” This child is really troubled.”
At home, she was attacked by stepmother and sisters, and then didn’t get along well with Liuli. She also had a lot to worry about when she got married. When You was away, so many things had happened in the home that would have gone wrong if Jinxuan hadn’t stopped the scene. Besides, the queen mother died, and she had been worried that Jinxuan would not be able to cope with it. You didn’t think she would have handled it properly.
She was extremely intelligent and capable, but she also had a bad fate.
Mother Sun said, ” If the Second lady dies hard, there will be happiness. I see Second lady’s face as a lucky person.”
You sighed again: ” I am worried that … after all, she has been missing for so long, in case something bad happens …”
Mother Sun knew what madame was worried about and she was also worried. If so, what could be done?
” Second lady is coming …” The maid outside reported.
You’s face was pleased.
” Please.”
Ye Jiayao came in quickly and saluted respectfully: ” Daughter-in-law pays respects to mother.”
” Get up quickly.” You said in a busy way.
You secretly looked at Ye Jiayao and saw her look as usual. She was not in such a mess as she thought. You was very pleased, but her doubts were like sticking in her throat and stabbing in her heart. How would she ask? Asking bluntly, if it hadn’t happened, she was afraid Jinxuan would have thought much of it.
” Jinxuan, these days, where are you locked up? Have you ever been wronged?” You asked with concern.
Ye Jiayao sat down on the embroidered mound: ” I didn’t know that I was locked up in Datong Hui until today. These days, the maid deaf and dumb brought tea and water to me, but there was no other grievance except lack of freedom.”
” You haven’t seen anyone who tied you up?” You’re surprised.
Ye Jiayao shook her head and said, ” I haven’t seen someone. I asked for it many times, but no one cared about me. I don’t understand why the people of Datong Hui wanted to tie me up. For money? But their money will soon be piled up in the mountains.I am not the beauty of the whole country, and the person who tied me should have shown up. So, I am also confused about it, and now I will wait for my father to find out why.”
You and Mother Sun looked at each other, their eyes were full of relief.
Thank God.
You said, ” You are suffering. Go back to rest quickly. Don’t forget to burn a piece of paper before entering the courtyard to dissipate the bad luck. Let the kitchen give you two eggs later, hoping that life will be smooth after this robbery.”
Ye Jiayao said yes and got up to leave.
When she left the door, Ye Jiayao looked sombre. With You’s eyes flashing and awkward, and the questions You asked, she knew in her heart that if she had lost her virginity during her disappearance, maybe You could not accept her.
Forgot it, the clean hands wanted no washing. Went back to take a bath first, and dissipated bad luck.
Ye Jiayao took a bath and slept until Qiao Xi called her, saying that the duke and the third young master came back and asked her to come over.
Ye Jiayao quickly got up and went to the duke’s study.
Little Jing was also there, but the three men looked dignified.
” Father.” Ye Jiayao made a ritual.
The duke reached out his hand to her and asked her to get up: ” Chunfeng, Little Jing, you say it!”
” Second sister-in-low, Zuo Qingyun, the shopkeeper of Datong Hui, we can basically confirm that he is the young leader of Jiangzuo number one gang Jiangzuo League, but we can’t get any evidence.”
Ye Jiayao didn’t know what Jiangzuo League was. But it sounded great.
” More than that, if he is indeed the young leader of the Jiangzuo League, then he may also be the grandson of Rong marquis. And Concubine Shu will call Rong marquis uncle.” Little Jing added.
Ye Jiayao dazed and quickly straightened out the relationship. So, this Zuo Qingyun and King Yu were still relatives. So, she was kidnapped, did King Yu instigate it?
” Now, Datong Hui’s Manager Bai contended that he kidnapped you. We also found a large number of weapons in the secret channel. Manager Bai said that he kidnapped you and hid weapons in order to deal with Zuo Qingyun, who killed his son, so he wanted to avenge his son.” Chunfeng said.
” We know this is a pretext, but we suffer from no evidence. And Zuo Qingyun was caught, neither Rong marquis Mansion nor King Yu’ Mansion moved.” Little Jing rued that if we could get some news from Zuo Qingyun, everything would be all right. The problem was that the Manager Bai was stubborn.
Ye Jiayao wanted to think and asked, ” How did you find me?”
What problems she couldn’t control were left to the duke to think about. Originally she wanted to ask Zuo Qingyun, but she’d better not meet him again because of the misgivings revealed by You.
Therefore, it was better to wonder how she was saved.
Little Jing said: ” This is also due to Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan. When you were kidnapped, you were just seen by a small bludger belong to the Ninth Master, who immediately informed the Ninth Master. and then the Ninth Master went to find Zhao Qixuan. Otherwise, we didn’t know you were kidnapped, and Su Yi was the first to suspect that you were in Datong Hui because your carriage and driver were found in the street near Datong Hui. Moreover, Su Yi has experienced a lot in society these years and had some knowledge of Jiangzuo League.”
” We took a look at Datong Hui and found that the Manger Bai went to the vegetarian restaurant to buy the seafood and poultry in casserole, and candied persimmons he bought the next day. We guessed you were transmitting the message.” Chunfeng added.
Ye Jiayao smiled: ” You are too good. I have drawn up many lists for them to buy, and I don’t know if you can receive my message. I don’t expect you to find it on the first day.”
” Not only that, he also visited Datong Hui at night and found that the layout inside was mysterious, and there were a lot of indisputable opponents.” said Little Jing.
” Wait … you said, what did you want to buy, they all promised?” asked the duke.
Ye Jiayao nodded and said, ” Yes, they didn’t seem to want to mistreat me. Everything I eat was excellent. During that period, I went on hunger strike in order to get out and walk around. After three days of hunger, they promised me to walk outside the tunnel every day. So I discovered another tunnel. However, it was sealed up later and I didn’t think there were weapons inside. What do they want? Rebel?”
” Definitely to rebel, I’m sure these weapons were hide by King Yu.” Little Jing said firmly.
The duke blew breath gloomily: ” Retrial, that Zuo Qingyun has a special identity and is not good to punish him. If we can’t get real evidence, we will be in great trouble again. Now they still hide behind to support King Yu and dare not take any big action. At that time, they can completely excuse us for framing their young masters to retaliate. These hooligans don’t tell you any rules, and they can deal with us by any means. Zuo Qingyun can’t be punished but the Manager Bai can. We must pry open the Manager Bai’s mouth.”
Chunfeng seriously said, ” Leave the matter to your son, I’m learned many ways to extract confessions in Dali Temple. ”
Ye Jiayao suddenly thought of something and said, ” Damn it, maybe someone will kill Manager Bai. Send more people to watch him! Don’t let him die.”
Not to say that Zuo Qingyun’s men were really good at Kong Fu? If someone was sent to assassinate him, Manager Bai would die, and all clues would be broken.
Chunfeng also reacted. ” I’ll arrange it now.” he said.
The duke also thought of the stakes: ” Go quickly.”
Fortunately, Thanked to Jinxuan’s reminder, otherwise, he old guy was negligent.
” Then I’ll leave first.” said Little Jing. ” Ancestress and mother are still worried about Yaoyao, and I have to go back to tell them the good news.”
