The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 96 The Chilling Mrs. Ye

"Elder, eldest prince?"

As soon as this remark came out, the boy's sleepy eyes widened suddenly. He looked out from the side of the guard in disbelief, and he saw a gorgeous carriage standing quietly under the stone steps at the door. They're all guards with knives.

The little servant almost peed in fright, and hurriedly said: "Masters, wait a moment, the servant will go in and report!" After the words fell, the others had already turned around and rushed in.

A moment later, there was a 'crack! 'A sound, as if someone fell down.The guard who had turned around and was about to leave immediately turned up his mouth, revealing a mocking smile.

Li Yu who was sitting in the carriage also sneered: "I don't know what expression Ning Guohou will have when he sees you appearing with me."

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at him, and said calmly: "What else can I do, I found it again, be happy!"

"Don't worry about those who are behind the scenes?" Li Yu said in a deep voice, "How did the fire happen, who was ambushing outside the window, and who was behind the scenes? Don't you want to find out the truth? "

"It depends on my father, whether he intends to choose me or my grandmother." Ye Zhaoqing smiled softly, and said calmly: "No matter who he chooses, I don't expect him to avenge me. .”

After hearing this, Li Yu looked into Ye Zhaoqing's eyes. For a moment, he seemed to understand the girl's heart, but he didn't seem to understand.Those eyes were clear and translucent, as bright as autumn waters, but also seemed to be deep and bottomless, making people unable to see the end at a glance.

"I support you!" He said: "Ning Guohou is unreliable, you still have me!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing looked up at him quietly for a moment, then laughed again: "Then thank you, Your Highness."

Seeing her happy appearance, Li Yu felt a burst of happiness from the bottom of his heart.

……

In Ningguohou's mansion.

Ye Chen stood in front of the courtyard, staring at the flames soaring into the sky in dismay. There were firefighters and guards coming and going on both sides. People were constantly being carried out of the fire, but none One is Ye Zhaoqing.

And watching, this courtyard is about to collapse.

The chances of being able to rescue people from it are really too small.

This blow was too great, Ye Chen staggered a few times, stretched out his hands to cover his cramped chest, a pained look appeared on his face.

How could such a thing happen?This is his mansion, this is the courtyard that he has spent countless money and manpower to build!The most important people to him live in it, but now, a big fire has burned everything up.

"Master Hou, how are you doing?" Seeing that Ye Chen was about to pass out, the butler immediately rushed forward and was about to take him away immediately: "Master Hou, you have angina, you should go back and rest first!"

"Go away!" Ye Chen suddenly waved away the butler's hand, panting heavily: "I'm standing here, waiting for you to find me the eldest lady! I'm not going anywhere!"

"Master Hou!" Hearing this, the butler was helpless: "The fire is too big, everyone can only put out the fire as much as possible on the periphery, no one dares to enter the house! The beams of the house were burned and collapsed. The eldest lady has not come out, how can there be a way out?"

"Help, can't you save him?" Ye Chen turned his head and looked at the butler in disbelief when he heard the words, the despairing and angry look in his eyes made the old butler tremble all over.

"Master Hou, isn't this obvious?" The butler said tremblingly, and quickly backed away in fear.

Ye Chen suddenly became angry: "You old bastard! How dare you curse the eldest lady! Come on! Pull down the stick and punish me fifty!"

"Master Hou!" Hearing this, the steward immediately wailed, "Please forgive me!"

"Take it away!" Ye Chen was still angry.

"Master Hou!" But at this moment, a soft female voice came from behind the two of them: "Steward Xie has been working diligently in the Hou's mansion all these years, and there is hard work even if there is no credit, why should Master Hou do such a terrible thing? Didn’t fifty boards kill him?”

Ye Chen turned his head abruptly, and saw his wife Shi Shiran walking in from outside, followed by many servants.

"Something happened to Qing'er." At this moment, he suddenly regained his composure.

Madam Ye nodded, turned her head towards the flame that almost lit up half of the night sky, nodded and said: "I saw it."

Ye Chen suddenly approached her, grabbed her by the collar of her clothes, and said viciously to her: "That's your daughter! Her life and death are uncertain now, can't you show a worried expression?"

"What are you talking about, Lord Hou!" Mrs. Ye pushed him away, straightened the collar of her clothes, and said in a leisurely way: "She is my daughter, so I am naturally worried about her."

"But your behavior, and your expression, I can't see any worry." Ye Chen said word by word: "Ye Qingning, you don't love that child at all!"

"Is Hou Ye planning to tear my face apart here?" Mrs. Ye raised the corners of her mouth when she heard this, showing a faint smile, and looked at Ye Chen leisurely.

When Ye Chen heard this, he didn't know what he thought of, his whole body trembled, he glanced at his wife in disbelief, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

"Mother was also awakened, and she and Ah Wan will come over later." Madam Ye said coldly, "I don't know when they come later, Lord Hou will also talk to them in this tone?"

Ye Chen frowned immediately when he heard the words, flicked his sleeves and said, "Isn't this messy enough? What if mother is frightened by such a scene? You don't even want to persuade her!" The guards came and told him to guard outside the old lady's Shangli courtyard and not to allow anyone to come out.

"You don't have to worry about it, I'm already here!" But at this moment, an old female voice sounded from behind again, accompanied by the sound of the crutches being stationed.

Ye Chen froze, slowly raised his head, and saw his old mother slowly walking in from the outside with the support of his second daughter Ye Xiangwan.

"My daughter has met her father." Ye Xiang greeted him at night.

When Ye Chen saw her alluring face, he thought of Ye Zhaoqing, and then felt sad. This daughter who was about to step on the throne of the princess in a few days actually passed away!
Is there anything more tragic than this?

Obviously he is about to become the head of the state, and he will soon be able to make a fortune, and the power will be in the hands of the government from now on!

However, a fire ended everything.

At this moment, he didn't want to see Ye Xiangwan at all.

"Get out!" Ye Chen said impatiently.

Ye Xiangwan was shocked when she heard the words, she looked up at her father in disbelief, a trace of grievance appeared on her face, even her eyes were red.

"Yes, father, my daughter will leave now." She said, turning around and about to leave.

"Don't go! With me here, no one can drive you away!" But at this moment, Mrs. Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed Ye Xiangwan's wrist, and said fiercely to Ye Chen: " what you up to?"

"Mother, I should ask you this question. What exactly do you want to do?" Ye Chen said with a gloomy face, "I'm bored and asked Ah Wan to go back first. What's wrong with me?"

Mrs. Ye listened quietly, and finally raised her eyes to look at Ye Chen, and said slowly, "What's bothering you? After all, Ah Wan is also Qing'er's younger sister. She wants to come and see her. What's wrong with that?"

"But can you stop making trouble?" Ye Chen finally broke down. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the burning yard behind him: "Qing'er's life or death is uncertain now, and my son is working hard to save her. You guys, can you stay far away and wait for the news in your yard?"

"According to me, you should not wait any longer." Mrs. Ye not only didn't get angry, but stepped forward and said, "Ye Zhaoqing is a mourner, and she has no qualifications to be a princess, but you I insisted on putting her in that position, and now it’s all right, God can’t bear to see it anymore, if you want me to say that such a big fire has come down, this is retribution!"

Ye Chen was stunned upon hearing this.

"You should write an edict of guilt at night, and hand it in early tomorrow morning." Seeing this, Mrs. Ye thought that he had listened to it, and she was secretly pleasantly surprised, but she didn't show it at all: "Maybe the emperor sees your attitude of admitting mistakes. For the sake of goodness, it is unknown if we can bypass our Ningguohou's residence."

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Chen was finally able to make a sound, but he couldn't agree with what his mother said.

"What did I say? I'm saving you!" Mrs. Ye has never seen such a dull person. His words are so obvious. Ye Chen, with his elm head, still doesn't understand!

"I said, you go to the emperor to issue an edict of pleading guilty, and tell the people in the world that Ye Zhaoqing is a mourner, and she is not worthy to be a princess at all..."

"Enough!" Ye Chen suddenly said, interrupting Mrs. Ye's chatter.

"Chen'er, what's the matter with you?" Mrs. Ye couldn't help being surprised when she saw the strange expression on his face.

"I won't go to the emperor for the imperial edict." Ye Chen said word by word: "Although I haven't taken care of Qing'er these years, it's because I believe that you relatives can take good care of her! I treat her His love is no less than that of Ah Wan."

With that said, he turned his head and glanced at Ye Xiangwan, his eyes were so gloomy that it was hard to see his expression.

Ye Xiangwan had never seen his father like this before, so he couldn't help but shudder.

"But I didn't expect that when she was caught in a fire and her life and death were uncertain, you relatives would plan to push her into hell!" Ye Chen said, his eyes slowly swept over everyone present, and finally landed on her. Mrs. Ye's body.

"What mother said is what you mean, right? This is what you have discussed, right?" he asked.

Mrs. Ye glanced at him quietly when she heard the words, and suddenly smiled: "Ye Chen, the matter has come to this, what else can you do besides doing this? Zhao Qing died in our house, and when the day of the wedding, you can't hand over the If a princess comes, she will be beheaded! Your black gauze hat, your glory and wealth, all of these belong to others, are you willing?"

"Who said we can't hand over the Crown Princess on the day of the wedding when the mourner is dead?" Mrs. Ye suddenly interjected, "Isn't there still Ah Wan?"
