Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 44
Ye Mingze twitched his lips twice: "No..."

Ye Chutang was surprised: "You moved?"

Immediately, she seemed to think of something, and smiled clearly: "Oh yes, now that the second uncle has been promoted, the mansion will naturally have to be changed. I just don't know where you live now?"

Ye Mingze broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, the words stuck in his throat, he couldn't say anything.

After a while, he said with difficulty: "In, in Liuwan Lane..."

Ye Jingyan raised her head when she heard the words, surprised and delighted: "So, isn't it on the same street as our house? That's a good thing, it will be much more convenient for us to meet again in the future."

Ye Mingze swallowed, not knowing how to proceed.

He winked frantically at the boy beside him: "You, you go back first! Report to your parents, just say, just say—cousin and the others have returned to Beijing!"

The accompanying servant had never seen Ye Chutang and the others. Although he looked at his master's reaction a little strangely, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and immediately responded: "Yes!"

However, just as he turned to leave, he heard a clear and clean female voice behind him.

"Mingze, why are you in such a hurry?"

There was a very faint smile on Ye Chutang's lips, and he said warmly: "Our journey is full of dust and dust, where is it that we don't dress up and wash up, so we just send a boy back to pass on the principles of the elders? If you don't know, treat it like my Ye family They are uneducated and don't know the rules."

Ye Mingze suddenly felt that he had been slapped hard on the face.

Isn't what she said just saying that he doesn't understand shit and doesn't understand etiquette! ?

The boy turned his head and showed hesitation.

From the looks of it, this woman is really from the Ye family. In terms of seniority, her master has to respectfully call out "Cousin", so who is she listening to?

Ye Mingze forced a smile and said, "I don't want my family members to know the news of your return earlier and be happy together? I—"

Ye Chutang interrupted him calmly, "Three years have passed, so it's not too late."

It was clear that her tone was calm and gentle, even her eyebrows and eyes were warm, and there was a bit of a smile on her face, but when she said these words, there was an inexplicably irresistible aura.

Ye Mingze's hand hanging by his side tightened and then loosened, loosened and tightened again, his heart was in a mess.

He pursed his lips and looked at Ye Chutang, feeling extremely strange for a moment.

Three years, whether it is long or not, is not short.

The frail, sick, weak and quiet cousin in the memory, the youthful and timidity of the past faded from the eyebrows and eyes, replaced by a calm and introverted calm like a deep pool of still water.

The facial features are clearly familiar, but this elegant demeanor is completely different from before.

If Ye Chutang in the past was a pearl covered in dust, she was beautiful, but because of her timidity and quietness, she seemed very inconspicuous.

The current Ye Chutang seems to have washed away the lead, and gradually bloomed her own brilliance, which is hard to ignore.

Ye Mingze had no choice but to suppress his boredom, let the boy come back, and waited for Ye Chutang and the others to eat.

This scene was extremely strange and attracted the attention of many people around.

From time to time someone whispered.

"That woman is Ye Mingze's cousin? When did he have such a relative in his family?"

"Maybe he came from his hometown to seek relatives? After all, Mr. Ye is very successful now!"

"It doesn't really look like it... Can ordinary people raise such a girl? Even if she is not mentioned, the two young masters next to each other have their own tolerance, and even the little doll is sensible and well-behaved. The place is also generous, without showing any timidity, this is not like an ordinary background..."

"Wait! I remembered! Lord Ye used to have an elder brother who was also an official in Beijing, and he seemed to have a higher official position than him at that time! It seems, it seems that his name is... Ye Zheng?"

"That's right! That's right! I remember this one too! That Mr. Ye Zheng was young and promising, and he had a bright future! It was said that he was likely to be promoted to be the youngest servant of the Ministry of Punishment, but it was a pity that he offended Long Yan and was demoted. Went out of Beijing, and it didn’t take long to hear that there was an accident on the way, and the whole family was gone! Didn’t expect——all of his bloodlines are still alive?”

Most of the people who went in and out of Lanyue Building were either rich or noble. Even if they were not very familiar with the name Ye Zheng, they all knew what it meant to be almost promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

What's more, this person and Ye Heng, who is now in the limelight, are still brothers.

For a moment, the eyes of everyone looking at Ye Chutang and the others changed subtly.

I don't know who whispered: "It's a pity, my father and brother are not here, what can a weak woman do with a few young siblings?"

……

Ye Chutang turned a blind eye to the scrutiny and discussions around him, and finished the meal slowly.

Ye Mingze next to him was already waiting impatiently, but he didn't dare to rush. After Ye Chutang and the others had finished eating, he couldn't wait to ask: "Can we go back now? I'll send someone to find a carriage!"

Ye Chutang wiped the corners of Xiao Wu's mouth with a handkerchief, hugged her into his arms, and then declined with a smile.

"Thank you, but no need, we have a carriage outside. Besides, since we all live in Liuwan Lane, then you can go back with us, which happens to save trouble, how about it?"

Ye Mingze was very resistant in his heart, and was thinking about how to refuse, when Ye Jingyan called the waiter over to pay the bill.

He immediately said, "I'll treat you to this meal!"

Ye Jingyan looked at Ye Chutang hesitantly, Ye Chutang shook his head, and was about to refuse, Ye Mingze said again: "Hey—cousin, you came back after a long time, how can you still pay for this meal? Come often, just charge it to my account!"

When it comes to money, Ye Mingze's confidence seems to have returned a little.

He didn't pay much attention just now, and now he realized that the clothes of Ye Chutang and the others were very simple.

That's right, without the protection of their parents, they don't know how poor and hard they have lived these past few years!
This made Ye Mingze feel a strong sense of superiority, and even the fear and annoyance he felt when he saw Ye Chutang and the others dissipated a lot.

Yes!

Isn't it just a few helpless and shabby households, what is there to be afraid of! ?
Ye Mingze added: "You don't know, the price of Lanyue Tower has increased now, and a meal will cost a lot of money."

The implication was that Ye Chutang and the others couldn't afford it.

Ye Chutang's eyelashes twitched slightly, as if he didn't hear his yin and yang aura, and responded with a smile: "Thank you then."

Ye Jingyan immediately put away the unopened purse, and thanked Ye Mingze: "My cousin is too kind, thank you so much."

"Hiccup~"

Xiao Wu, who was nestled in Ye Chutang's arms, suddenly burped, and a look of sadness flashed across his chubby face.

——Say it earlier!She will order a few more dishes!
……

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage turned into Liuwan Lane and stopped in front of a mansion.

The two stone lions in front of the door are magnificent, and the gold calligraphy on the door plaque is powerful: Ye Fu.

Ye Yunfeng looked at the familiar door, and his long-suppressed mood surged, and he turned around and shouted excitedly: "Sister! We're home!"

As he spoke, he jumped off the carriage and wanted to go there.

However, at this moment, the closed door was suddenly opened from the inside.

A man who looked like a butler poked his head out of it.

Ye Yunfeng suddenly stopped at the same spot, utterly astonished—why is there a stranger in their house?

The next moment, he heard the man yelling anxiously at Ye Mingze behind him: "Hey! Second Young Master! Why did you come back! Master has been waiting for you for half an hour!"
