Chapter 141 Clues

"I can't figure this out either. Now that the ancestral hall has been reduced to ashes, there are only some ruins left. I'm afraid I can only know the specific situation when my father comes back." Ye Qingzhi explained softly.

Ye Yao furrowed her brows tightly, maybe this is the only way to go, she really has no clue in her heart.

Even if Ye Qingyao was a scum, with ten guts, he wouldn't dare to do something like burn his ancestral tablet.

Suddenly, she thought of those people who took so much trouble to kill her before, did they come again?
However, she immediately denied such a guess. If it was those people, they might have come directly at her. What is burning Yeshi's ancestral hall?After thinking about it, she felt that the thoughts in her head were even more chaotic.

"Sister, maybe this matter has nothing to do with my father. He just ran away because he was afraid of taking responsibility." Ye Qingzhi tentatively wanted to exonerate her father, and even wanted to find out about Ye Yao. tone.

"Thank you for your hard work today." Ye Yao interrupted Ye Qingzhi, she didn't want to say anything until the matter was clarified.

"Sister is too polite. If you don't know your identity, not only sister is the granddaughter of the Duke, but I am too." Ye Qingzhi immediately smiled and responded very sincerely.

Ye Yao turned her gaze out of the window and took a deep breath. After this incident, her attitude towards Ye Qingzhi changed a lot compared to before.

I hope that these people are only selfish for their own sake, and don't do anything to make the Duke sad.Otherwise, her hands are not afraid of being stained with blood again.

"Sister, you don't pay attention to the matter of the North Courtyard. You may not know what the North Courtyard has become now. Since the adoption of the Fourth Concubine, there has not been a single day of peace. My father has been dazzled by the Fourth Concubine all day long. He is almost When it comes to obedience, although my father didn’t have any opinions in the past, and several aunts also liked to secretly compete for favor, but it’s not like what it is now. This time, the fourth aunt must be behind the request for such a request to the Duke. Encourage."

Ye Yao frowned, knowing that the woman named Ying Tan was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

It's fine to make a fuss in the North Courtyard before, and she doesn't care about it at all, but this time such a thing happened, which hurts the Duke, so she naturally won't just sit idly by.

"Where is Fourth Aunt?"

"She didn't escape at all, she is still staying in the north courtyard obediently."

"He has a backbone." Ye Yao's voice was tinged with contempt.

Ye Qingzhi sat aside and poured a glass of water for Ye Yao, "Sister, don't be too angry, these days I'm busy with the Baiyue kingdom competition, I'll stay by the Duke's side and take good care of it."

Ye Yao picked up the water glass, took a sip and looked out the door, "Why hasn't Qing Hao come over yet?"

"Miss, the young master said that he went out for a trip, maybe he found the whereabouts of the second master." Rong Chun immediately came in to report.

"Sister, don't worry, brother will definitely bring my father back when he goes." Ye Qingzhi interrupted hastily.

Ye Yao stood up and said to Ye Qingzhi, "Go and rest first, I'll go to the ancestral hall to have a look."

"Yes." Ye Qingzhi nodded, watching Ye Yao's disappearing figure, her eyebrows furrowed.

In fact, she couldn't understand why such a thing happened suddenly, but then she showed a smile, no matter how it happened or who did it, at present, it is still beneficial to her at.

Isn't Ye Yao less defensive towards her now?

She lowered her head, looked at the water that Ye Yao drank, took out the paper bag hidden in the hidden pocket of her sleeve, looked at it a few times, and put it back carefully, the smile in her eyes added a bit of coldness.

……

When Ye Yao came to the ancestral hall, there was still a choking smell of smoke in the air. The servants of the Duke's Mansion were cleaning it up, and when they saw Ye Yao, they immediately bowed down and saluted.

"Miss."

"Don't worry about me, go do your work." Ye Yao waved his hand and walked forward.

A few days ago, she was still locked up here, and she was burned like this in a blink of an eye.Can't help feeling a little emotional in her heart, she took a few steps forward, and slowly squatted down in the ashes.

After being swept by the water waves, the ash turned into mud, covering the beams and buildings that were burned to pieces. Although there are some inflammable materials in the ancestral hall, there is still such a large space, even if the fire is strong. Big, it is impossible to burn so fast in such a short time.

She stretched out her hand, twirled some ash on her fingertips, and suddenly a faint smell came, and she immediately sniffed it carefully.

There are snow and silver threads in her body, and her five senses have become particularly sharp. She can be sure that there was absolutely no such smell in the ancestral hall last time.She immediately pawed aside a few times, and then took out a piece of burnt wood and smelled it, the smell of the broken wood was even stronger.

A snow-colored figure stopped behind her, and also slowly squatted down.

Ye Yao turned around and saw Sima Fengji Qinggui's figure, "You came here so soon?"

"I'm worried about you." He held her dirty little hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped it gently for her, looked around and fell back on Ye Yao, "What did you find?"

"I didn't find anything else, but I feel that this wood has a very strange smell." Ye Yao pointed to the broken wood she just held in her hand.

Sima Fengji frowned slightly, stooped to pick up the cut wood, put it in his nose and sniffed it, it really had a special smell.He sniffed it carefully a few more times, and his brows drew back a little more.

"This is?" Ye Yao had a feeling that he must know something.

Sima Fengji threw away the broken wood in his hand, and pulled Ye Yao to the side, "Don't be too sad, autumn is dry, and there are flammable objects in the ancestral hall, I will explain to the emperor that it will not Blame it on the Duke."

"En." Ye Yao nodded, took his hand, and quickly walked towards Jinxiu Garden.

Sima Fengji was dragged by her all the way, still pondering in his mind, he didn't expect these people to dare to act rashly, he didn't expect to hide in the Duke's mansion, but it is still impossible to find out where this person hides.

Once back inside, Ye Yao kicked the door shut and pressed Sima Fengji on the chair, "Did you find something? What is that smell?"

He looked at her anxious look, and smiled helplessly. This little thing is smarter than he imagined, and just when he hesitated for a moment, she saw the clue.

"It's a kind of tree fruit, which can secrete a kind of oil after being exposed to the sun. This kind of oil is flammable and difficult to extinguish. It is usually used to sprinkle on torches, and it will be used during the march. But this kind Things are very rare, especially in Qingxuan. It can be seen that the house of the ancestral hall has been brushed with this kind of grease."

Ye Yao sat aside after listening to him.I couldn't help but secretly guess in my heart, who can get close to the ancestral hall?Can you still apply this kind of grease without anyone noticing?
