Chapter 16 The Art of Witchcraft and Gu
Ye Shu carried Gu Jiangmeng back to her boudoir before she got married.

Although Ye Shu's boudoir was seldom occupied, after all, she only stayed there for a few days when she occasionally returned to her parents' home, but the room was always tidy and clean, and it didn't look like no one lived there at all.

"Jiang Meng, be good, Jiang Meng, go to sleep~"

With Ye Shu's coaxing, Gu Jiangmeng fell asleep quickly.

"You watch the young lady carefully."

"Yes."

After Ye Shu gave the order, he called his closest maid Qiu Sang to accompany him out of the courtyard.

Ye Shu trusts Qiu Sang very much. After all, Qiu Sang grew up with her and has been with her for at least twenty years.

Qiu Sang followed Ye Shu to the front yard with a shovel. Although he didn't know what the young lady was going to do, Qiu Sang didn't ask. After all, if the young lady wanted to tell him, she would tell him directly.

This should be the place! Ye Shu looked at the big locust tree in front of him, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Through the locust tree, Ye Shu recalled the scene of playing with Ye Zhi under the locust tree. When Ye Zhi was young, she liked locust flowers very much and always asked Ye Shu to help pick them.

The family had many happy and beautiful memories under this locust tree, but now everything has changed.

Coming back to his senses, Ye Shu looked at the ground.

“Dig!”

Although the exact location is unknown, since it was buried by Ye Zhi and she wanted the buried things to be dug out, it was naturally not buried deep.

Ye Shu took a shovel from Qiu Sang and started digging, and Qiu Sang followed suit.

After an incense stick of time had passed, Ye Shu could clearly feel that the soil underneath was hard when she was digging with a shovel. Although she didn't know what it was, there was definitely something buried there.

"Qiu Sang."

Hearing the cry, Qiu Sang hurried to Ye Shu's side and helped Ye Shu dig.

Seeing the wooden box with mud on it slowly appearing in front of her, Ye Shu's heart tensed up.

Ye Shu slowly removed the dirt on the box with her hands, picked up the box and stood up.

Actually, I found it.

Ye Shu then took the box she had dug up and returned to her boudoir.

After all, it was buried in the soil, and the box didn't seem to have much wear and tear, so it probably hadn't been buried for long.

Ye Shu's hands were shaking as she opened the box. Although she knew what was inside from Jiang Meng in advance, Ye Shu still felt a little lucky, hoping that there was nothing inside.

But this is not possible.

The box was completely opened, and looking at the human-shaped doll in the box, Qiu Sang covered his mouth in fear.

"Miss, this!"

Ye Shu picked up the human-shaped doll and saw the birth date and time on it. Although she didn't know whose birth date it was, the emperor's name was written on it, so the birth date and time must be the emperor's.

Zhier! Are you really unwilling to let even one person from our Ye family go?
"Burn it." Although the tone seemed calm, only Ye Shu herself understood what it felt like.

"Yes." Qiu Sang took the doll, turned and walked towards the brazier, burning it cleanly.

Ye Shu walked to the desk, took out the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, ground the ink, picked up the pen, and wrote stroke by stroke.

Hopefully, this will keep the family safe.

After finishing writing, Ye Shu handed it to Qiu Sang, "Put it back in the box and continue burying it." "Yes."

Qiu Sang took it, stuffed the paper into the box and walked outside.

Although I don't know why the young lady was able to dig these things up, and I don't know who put them in. But fortunately I found them, otherwise the entire Ye family would be in danger.

After dealing with this matter, Ye Shu went to see Mrs. Ye again.

Mrs. Ye was not in good health, and she was just angry with Ye Zhi, so she was now lying in bed to rest.

Ye Shu slowed down his pace, walked slowly to the bed and sat down.

"Shu'er is here." Mrs. Ye was not asleep. Hearing the light footsteps, she opened her eyes and looked at her daughter in front of her.

"Mom, are you feeling better?" Ye Shu asked with concern.

"I'm feeling better now, Shu'er. It's all my fault." Mrs. Ye said suddenly while holding Ye Shu's hand.

"Mom, how can I blame you for this?" Ye Shu thought that her mother thought that she had not educated Ye Zhi well and that the evil person had taken advantage of her.

"Mother is reluctant to part with Zhi'er. After all, mother treats her as her own daughter. When you insisted on releasing her from confinement, I actually agreed and even persuaded your father and your husband to agree. Mother hoped to use these days to persuade her to change for the better, but she still hates us so much."

"Zhi'er wanted to kill Jiang Meng! She is your own daughter and my granddaughter. How could I be so confused?" Mrs. Ye couldn't help coughing a few times when she said this.

"Mom!" Ye Shu quickly helped Madam Ye calm down.

Seeing that Madam Ye was feeling better, Ye Shu finally replied, "Mother, I can't bear it either. After all, I treat her as my own sister. You are not wrong. No one would be heartless if this happened to them."

"Ah~" Madam Ye sighed, "Just pretend that I never had a daughter named Zhi'er. You can interrogate her however you want, but you must find out who told Zhi'er this nonsense."

"Mom, don't worry. After all, the matter has been transferred to the Dali Temple, and it will be investigated soon. Don't worry about it. Rest well and take good care of your body. This is what you should pay attention to right now."

"Okay, I'll listen to Shu'er."

After Ye Shu settled Mrs. Ye down, he went to the study to find Ye Mu.

As soon as Ye Shu entered the study, she saw Ye Mu standing in front of the window, looking out.

"father."

Ye Mu turned around and found that it was Ye Shu.

"Shu'er is here, where's Jiang Meng?" Ye Mu noticed that Ye Shu didn't come over with Gu Jiang Meng.

"Jiang Meng has fallen asleep. I came to see Dad to ask him something."

"whats the matter?"

"Does Zhier have any relatives still alive?"

"Yes." Ye Mu suddenly remembered, "Zhi'er has an uncle, but he was not willing to raise Zhi'er at first, so I brought Zhi'er back. Your mother liked Zhi'er very much and adopted her."

"Did Zhier's uncle look for her later?"

"I came to look for her once or twice. The first time she came, Zhi'er was about seven or eight years old. At that time, my father was still a deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue. At that time, he was at the end of his rope, so he came to our house directly to look for your mother. I was not at home at that time, and it was your mother who told me later."

"Zhi'er's uncle is called Li Erniu. He wanted to break in at first, but he failed. So he took a letter and asked me to deliver it to the mansion. He also said that it was very important and I must read the letter immediately."

"The guards were afraid of missing anything, so they passed the letter in. My father was not at home at the time, and your mother opened the letter for fear of delay. In the letter, Li Erniu stated his identity directly, and said that if they didn't meet, he would tell her that Zhi'er was adopted."
