Chapter 134 Who Did You Ask

Chapter 134
The first ray of sunlight in the morning finally shone, and when it fell on Ye Chutang's face, it made her look more calm and composed.

She sat there with her shoulders straight, looking down at the book in her hand, like a simple meticulous painting.

Ye Yunfeng came to her side and asked curiously: "Sister, you have read this book for a long time, but did you see anything?"

Ye Chutang didn't answer this question right away, and pressed his pale fingertips on one of the pages, caressing it carefully.

Then, she lifted the book and turned the page to the sunlight.

Compared with the one she bought from the bookstore, the one she has now is very different.

The most obvious point is that the paper in his hand is not thin enough, and the corners seem to be a little uneven, making the whole book look rough.

Ye Heng is the most face-saving person on weekdays, how could he read such a poorly printed book?

Ye Chutang was quiet for a moment, rubbing his fingertips lightly.

A layer of pages as thin as a cicada's wings, with slightly raised corners.

"This book has two layers!?" Ye Yunfeng saw clearly from the side, his expression shocked.

Ye Chutang tried to continue uncovering, but that page was tightly sealed, and she barely saw a fifth of the page, and the rest could not be completely uncovered for the time being, Ye Chutang did not insist, after trying twice, she give up.

This book is hard-won, so it must be preserved carefully, and it must not be damaged in the slightest.

Probably woken up by Ye Yunfeng's sound, Xiao Wu who was lying on the bed opened his eyes in a daze, subconsciously looking for Ye Chutang's figure.

Ye Chutang glanced at Ye Yunfeng.

Ye Yunfeng chuckled: "It's all my fault! I was so eager for a while, I forgot that Xiao Wu was there!"

Ye Jingyan got up and hugged Xiao Wu into her arms, looked over and asked directly: "Sister, can you see what is written inside?"

"Just a few words, not yet determined."

Ye Chutang rubbed Xiao Wu's cheek, Xiao Wu accidentally glanced at the book in her hand, and was startled.

Noticing her expression, Ye Chutang's eyebrows moved slightly: "What's wrong, Xiao Wu? What are you looking at?"

Xiao Wu tilted his head, raised his little hand and made two gestures with Ye Chutang.

Ye Chutang vaguely guessed something in his heart.

Ye Yunfeng was confused and couldn't help asking: "What does Xiao Wu mean by this?"

Xiao Wu simply ran out of Ye Jingyan's arms, stomping on his short legs.

Afterwards, she actually took out a book from the bedside cabinet.

To be precise, it is a ledger.

Ye Jingyan was slightly stunned, and looked at Ye Chutang: "Sister, these are not the ones you asked me to copy last time—"

Ye Chutang nodded slightly.

Xiao Wu had already run back, raised his face and held up the ledger in his hand.

Ye Chutang quickly recognized it: "This is the account book of one of the pawn shops."

At that time, she asked Ye Heng to get back the account books of those shops for the past three years, and asked Ah Yan to transcribe them all as quickly as possible, and copied the exact same set.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu turned it out at this moment.

Xiao Wu was a little anxious, so he simply opened the ledger, then stopped on one of the pages, and pointed with his little finger.

Ye Jingyan read it left and right twice, and finally found the problem: "April [-]th... Wait! Is this the real account book of that pawn shop!?"

In the opening opened by Ye Chutang, there is a line of unreadable handwriting hidden.

They didn't think so at first, but when the two books were put together, they realized that they looked exactly the same!
Ye Yunfeng blinked, the corners of his lips were raised high, his face couldn't hide his pride: "Okay, Xiao Wu! Can you find this out?"

If it were someone else, only relying on the one-fifth that Ye Chutang uncovered, and seeing the hidden writing and traces inside, they would definitely not be able to think of anything else.

Xiao Wu actually matched the account book just by looking at it twice!
Ye Chutang couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.

Xiao Wu's sensitivity to numbers was even more astonishing than she had expected, coupled with this photographic memory, it was simply terrifying.

Hearing the praise, Xiao Wu became happy, but soon she thought of another thing, looked up at Ye Chutang, pointed at the two books and shook her head.

——Sister, the date on it is the same as the name of the item pawned that day, but the numbers don’t match!

Ye Chutang touched her small face, bent his lips and smiled: "Thank you Xiao Wu, sister knows."

……

"Sister, what do you think he was thinking, that he went through so much trouble and recorded the real account between the pages of the book?"

Ye Jingyan had seen many people who hid their books and made false accounts before, but in this situation, he had never even heard of it.

"If sister-in-law hadn't noticed the abnormality of his book that day, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark."

Even though it had been a while, Ye Jingyan couldn't help but sigh when thinking about it again.

Ye Chutang looked down at the two books on the table.

Although the real ledger is in front of her eyes, it is not that simple to take a look at it.

This book is very delicately done. If it is done by brute force, I am afraid it will not work.

She gently crushed it with her slender fingertips, and suddenly asked: "How is the situation in Fengling Lane now?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Ye Jingyan immediately recovered.

"What else? The fire started from the west side room, and it is now in ruins!"

Ye Chutang tilted his head: "Only one room was burned?"

"Of course it's more than that!" Ye Yunfeng touched his chin, "Even a third of their small courtyard was burned down!"

Ye Chutang nodded slightly, and said softly:
"Second Uncle and the others have lost too much this time, so they should visit to comfort them."

……

Princess Palace.

Princess Qinyang got off her horse and strode inside.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure in front of her and hurriedly greeted him.

"elder brother!"

Shen Yanchuan paused and looked back.

Princess Qinyang followed immediately.

"Brother, I don't seem to see you much recently, what are you busy with?"

Shen Yanchuan's tone was lazy: "Say what you have to say."

Princess Qinyang: "..."

She took a look at the man in front of her, and suddenly showed a strange smile.

"Actually, it's nothing! I just wanted to ask, when do you plan to go to Wulan Mountain?"

Shen Yanchuan tilted his head slightly: "You want to go too?"

Princess Qinyang likes to be lively since she was a child, and has never been very interested in Wulan Mountain. This time, she took the initiative to ask...

"That's right!" Princess Qinyang replied immediately.

Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It's lonely and deserted in the mountains, I'm afraid you won't get used to it."

Princess Qinyang glared at him.

Can this person speak?

She rolled her eyes.

"Actually, I'm also helping people to ask. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it!"

After finishing speaking, she walked forward swaggeringly, as if she really didn't care.

Only then did Shen Yanchuan casually ask, "Help someone? Whom?"

The master of Qinyang County stood still, with a smile on his face.

"Of course—Miss Ye Er."

Shen Yanchuan's heart moved, and he looked up.
