Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Many people knew that Xiao Chengqi was assassinated in the hunting ground. He had been claiming to be sick and recuperating in the mansion during this period, which happened to avoid Xiao Chengxuan's mess.

Now we have finally waited for those people to come back, but I wonder... have they brought back the antidote?

"It would be fine if I bring back the antidote, but if not, I'm afraid..." Ye Jingyan paused, many thoughts flashing through his mind at this moment.

This moment is a very sensitive one. Countless people are watching Prince Lie's Palace, openly or covertly.

After all, King Qi has been deposed. As long as King Lie's injuries can be healed, then he will definitely win from now on, right?

Ye Chutang did not comment: "Who knows."

Ye Yunfeng snorted coldly: "Speaking of which, the matter of King Lie being assassinated has not yet been investigated. If it is related to King Qi, I wonder if he can be punished more severely."

Ye Jingyan shook his head: "Unfortunately, it's not him."

Ye Yunfeng looked at him and asked, "Third brother, are you so sure?"

Ye Jingyan said: "It would not do him any good to do this. He has no reason to be so stupid. Moreover, even if he did it, it might not be able to drag him down completely."

Also.

The breath that was blocked in Ye Yunfeng's chest lingered and refused to dissipate.

He rubbed his face irritably.

"This capital city is really in chaos!"

Ye Chutang did not make any judgment on the conversation between the two brothers. He just looked outside and reminded them:

"arrive."

……

Xu Fengchi had been waiting in the front hall for a long time. When he heard the servant's message, he came out to greet them in person.

"Chu Tang!"

Seeing that beautiful and gentle face, Xu Fengchi was filled with mixed emotions.

But a lot has happened since we last met.

Ye Chutang took Xiaowu's hand, stepped forward, and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Master Xu, Chu Tang is grateful for this kindness."

Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng followed behind and saluted together.

Even Xiaowu bent down obediently.

Today she was wrapped in a thick pink and white short jacket embroidered with pomegranate flowers, and her whole body turned into a pink and tender little ball, so cute.

Xu Fengchi hurried forward to give him a helping hand:
"Chu Tang, there's no need to be polite! This is what I should do."

He was filled with mixed feelings and only asked, "Do you all know what happened at the court meeting yesterday?"

Ye Chutang nodded slightly.

The closure of Prince Qi's palace caused a huge stir, and the news had already spread throughout the capital.

Xu Fengchi looked at her and the others, his eyes swollen.

"Okay, okay! It's good to know, it's good to know! In this way, I can also give an explanation to Brother Ye's spirit in heaven!"

Ye Chutang also felt a warmth in his chest.

Unfortunately, Ye Zheng was killed by his own brother, but fortunately he still had such a close friend who was willing to run for him at all costs.

It is rare to have a close friend in life.

She still insisted on completing the ceremony seriously.

"Thank you for your hard work over the past few years."

"What's the point of working so hard!" Xu Fengchi shook his head, "There's no need for these empty words between us!"

After the initial sadness, relief welled up in my heart.

Xu Fengchi finally accepted their greeting and said hurriedly, "It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk!" After the group sat down in the house, the servants served them hot tea one by one.

Xu Fengchi smiled and said, "This is the Baihao Yinzhen you sent from the tea house last time. It is indeed clear and mellow. No wonder the tea house is doing so well."

After Ye Chutang took over those shops, they soon turned losses into profits, and the tea houses made huge profits every day.

She sent people to deliver it to several households regularly, and the Xu Mansion was one of them.

"As long as you like it."

Ye Chutang's eyebrows were curved.

Mrs. Xu Sun, who was standing by, couldn't help but say, "Not only the master likes it, even Rong Qing, who doesn't like tea, often brews it to drink."

Xu Rongqing didn't expect to be mentioned suddenly. He froze and subconsciously looked at Ye Chutang.

Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Really? That's great. The tea shop just got some new white tea. I'll have someone send some more over later."

Xu Rongqing opened his mouth, wanting to say that there was no need to bother, but when the words came to his lips, he paused.

"...Thank you very much, Sister Chutang."

The more Sun looked at Ye Chutang, the more she liked him.

It goes without saying that this girl is of first-rate character and appearance, and even among the noble ladies in the capital, few can compare with her.

More importantly, she had been with Xu Fengchi for all these years, and she knew best how difficult it was for Ye Chutang, a girl with several younger siblings, to seek justice for her parents and brother.

She felt both distressed and admiring, and naturally felt closer to him at this moment.

She smiled and said, "When you were little, Rong Qing only listened to you when you played together. Now that you gave him tea, of course he will also -"

"cough!"

Xu Fengchi suddenly coughed, interrupting her.
"Ayu, go check the kitchen. The food is ready. Ayan and Afeng are both growing up, so make sure to entertain them. Also, there's Xiaowu's longan and lotus seed porridge. She likes it the most."

Sun was stunned.

Isn't it still early at this time?

But she and Xu Fengchi had been married for many years and they had a mutual understanding, so she would not offend him in public, so she smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll go and urge him."

After she left, Xu Fengchi looked at Ye Chutang.

Ye Chutang sat there, with the hand warmer covering the scenery, his brows clear and a smile on his lips, as if he didn't notice anything wrong.

Xu Fengchi breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw his son drinking tea with his head bowed, his headache started again.

Sun had mentioned to him earlier that Rong Qing seemed to be interested in Ye Chutang.

He didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking it was just a token of affection from playing together as a child.

Rong Qing is a few years older than Chu Tang and has always treated her as a younger sister. Later, when the Ye family encountered trouble, they and their siblings finally returned to Beijing. It was only right for Rong Qing to take care of her a little more.

Sun was angry that he didn't understand her son at all, so she turned around and left.

He didn't expect that when someone came today, Sun's words seemed to indicate that he wanted to bring them together.

What he didn't expect was that his son seemed to really have special feelings for Ye Chutang!
Even if Xu Fengchi was slow to react, he could sense that something was wrong!
But the key point is, Rong Qing had never told him about this before, so what should he do now?

If it were someone else, Xu Fengchi would not have worried so much.

But it happened to be Ye Chutang.

He treated her as his own daughter. Ye Zheng and his wife were both gone, and Ye Chutang was only seventeen years old and had no one to rely on. Naturally, he had to be extremely cautious in this important matter of his life.

He originally thought that he would discuss this matter with Ye Chutang after all the matters were settled, at least to give her a thorough review and give her a generous dowry.

did not expect--

Xu Fengchi pondered for a long time before speaking carefully:
"Chu Tang, the affairs of your parents and brother have now been settled. His Majesty has been compassionate and has ordered additional compensation for you and your siblings, which will be delivered to the Ye Mansion soon. Have you...ever thought about what to do next?"

Ye Chutang raised his eyes, his dark and clear eyes were bright and clear.

She smiled and said, "Planning?" (End of this chapter)
