Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 356 Stigma (Second update)
This kneeling was really kneeling on the apex of Murong Ye's heart.

He was startled and quickly stepped forward to help Ye Shixian up, feeling angry and distressed at the same time.

"What are you doing!"

Although he was angry, Ye Shixian was still the person in his heart.

"I'm just, I'm just angry for a moment. Too many things have happened recently, and I've been scolded a lot by my father. That's when the boss said nasty things. You, don't take it to heart, how could I send you away? How about going to Shuntian Mansion?”

Ye Shixian refused to get up: "Since my father's accident, I have brought you too much trouble, and now even my mother has passed away so miserably. Maybe I am an unlucky person to begin with, and will only drag the young master down in the future... "

"What are you talking about?"

Murong Ye still had feelings for her after all. Seeing this scene and hearing such words, most of the accumulated resentment dissipated.

He put his arm around Ye Shixian's shoulders and sighed.

"It's also my fault. I should have been more polite that day. If I had known that her condition was so serious, I would have sent a few more people to look after her outside the house day and night."

Ye Shixian seemed to finally be unable to bear it anymore, so she lay in his arms and cried.

The clothes on Murong Ye's chest quickly became wet, and his heart also softened from crying.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. This person has passed away. There is no point in thinking about the past. The most important thing right now is to quickly prepare for your mother's funeral."

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment.
"In a few days, the case should be concluded, right?"

Ye Shixian knew what he was asking. Although there were widespread rumors that Ye Chutang forced his aunt to death, there were other voices.

There are also very few people who say that Gao did not hang himself, but was strangled to death. Although he tried to break free, he failed in the end and died.

She sobbed and nodded softly: "Master Zhang said that if no other evidence can be found, the matter will be over. My mother's mood has been better in the past few days. I thought she was thinking about it, so I relaxed a little. , unexpectedly led to a big mistake——"

Murong Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Gao had indeed hanged himself.

Although it would be a little troublesome to get this case through trial, it is normal for someone to die in the middle of the night without anyone noticing.

This storm will subside after a while.

Murong Ye didn't stay too long. His father was extremely dissatisfied with him and Ye Shixian's entanglement, so he had better keep his tail between his legs.

When sending Murong Ye out, the door just opened and Shaoyao who was guarding outside was startled and quickly saluted.

Murong Ye frowned: "Why are you so distracted?"

Shaoyao hurriedly admitted her mistake: "I know my mistake, please forgive me, Mr. Murong!"

Murong Ye turned back to Ye Shixian and said, "This girl used to look quite smart, but why is she so slow now? Can such a person serve you well if you stay here?"

Shaoyao's face turned pale.

Ye Shixian glanced at her and said softly: "Maybe she was frightened by what happened before."

Murong Ye shook his head: "I'll pick out a few good ones later. You choose the one you like. If there are more people to take care of you, I'll feel more at ease."

When Shaoyao heard this, she immediately panicked: "I am loyal to the eldest lady, and I will be more responsible in the future! Please give me another chance, Mr. Murong!"

Ye Shixian's smile froze slightly.

Others thought he was pampering and caring, but she understood that he was placing spies around her again to keep an eye on her every move!
But Ye Shixian couldn't refuse.

She nodded: "Thank you."

Murong Ye showed a satisfied smile and stroked the white jade hairpin on her temples.

"You'd better look best wearing a carnelian bouquet. Please change it next time."

Ye Shixian twitched her lips: "...Okay."

Murong Ye finally left, and Ye Shixian stood there, feeling as if all her strength had been drained away.

Shaoyao knelt forward and said, "Miss, please -" "I want to take a hot bath." Ye Shixian said expressionlessly.

Shaoyao bit her lip and said, "...Yes, slave, I'll go right away."

Ye Shixian turned around and returned to the room, naturally not noticing the resentment and determination flashing in Shaoyao's eyes after she closed the door.

……

At noon, the streets are very lively with people coming and going.

A carriage slowly drove in from the city gate, followed by mounted guards on the left and right.

Many people were in awe and admiration when they saw the carriage.

——That is the carriage of Dingbei Hou Mansion!
The person sitting on the carriage, without even thinking about it, is the Crown Prince Dingbeihou!
Shen Yanchuan leaned against the inner wall of the carriage and closed his eyes lightly.

When the noisy sounds outside reached his ears, Lian Zhou clicked his tongue and couldn't help but said: "The capital is still lively!"

During this time they were out, getting more and more remote and desolate.

Especially in Changzhou, after seeing the scenes of refugees suffering from hunger and cold, the prosperity of this capital became even more prominent.

Comparing the two, they are like heaven and earth.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, I'm afraid many people here would never know in their lifetime that there are still many people in this world who are so poor and miserable that they can hardly even eat a full meal.

Thinking of this, Lian Zhou felt a little uncomfortable.

He rode forward and asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want to enter the palace directly?"

Shen Yanchuan said "hmm".

This time I returned to Beijing, firstly, to return His Majesty's holy orders, and secondly, to report the disaster situation in Changzhou, Ming Dynasty.

No matter which one it is, don’t neglect it.

However, as the carriage continued to drive forward, some harsh words gradually came.

"You tell me, how can there be such a cruel person in the world? He even refused to let go of his own aunt and forced her to death!"

"No! This is really a crime! Isn't she afraid of being begged for debts and life by evil spirits in the middle of the night?"

"Hmph, I'm so powerful, why should I be afraid?"

"I see that she is very proud now. The whole family is going crazy and dying. Finally, she got her wish!"

"There is reincarnation in the way of heaven, and I would like to see who dares to deal with such a vicious woman like her again! Even if she has a backer, why can't she hide if she can't offend her? Sooner or later, she will be punished!"

Shen Yanchuan opened his eyes.

He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and saw several vendors on the street talking about something.

At the same time, the words of one of them came out more clearly——

"Her reputation has been ruined! From now on in this capital, let alone her, I'm afraid even her two brothers will be criticized!"

There was a chill in Shen Yanchuan's eyes.

"Lian Zhou."

"My subordinate is here!"

Lian Zhou naturally heard what those people said. His mind was in a mess. When he heard his master's voice, he quickly responded.

When he looked up and saw his master's face, his heart trembled even more.

Shen Yanchuan said coldly: "Go and find out what happened while I was away from the capital."

"Yes!"

Lian Zhou did not dare to neglect and immediately rode away.
