Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 116 Identity
Ye Qiongdan sighed, reached out and knocked on the door.

Xiang girl embarrassedly reached out to wipe her face, took a deep breath, and tried her best to pretend to be calm and said, "Come in."

When Ye Qiongdan entered, she reached out to wipe her tears again, but turned her head away and didn't look at her, maybe she wanted to give herself a little dignity, and didn't want her to see her embarrassed and fragile side.

"You... are you okay?" Ye Qiongdan asked cautiously after closing the door.

She didn't have many friends in her previous life, so she wasn't very good at comforting others.

"I'm fine," she shook her head vigorously, pretending to be nonchalant, and smiled softly, "what's the matter with me, it's just that when I was in the yard, the wind was too strong and the gravel was blown away. When it got into the eyes, I tried it for a long time, but it didn’t come out.”

"It's fine," Ye Qiong nodded hesitantly, "Well, do you need me to accompany you?"

"I'm fine, it's just a piece of gravel," Xiang girl said pretending to be strong, she didn't dare to look at the pair of shoes she threw on the ground, for fear that if she took a look at them, she would be sad again and cry in front of Ye Qiongdan Come out, "Adan, you are right, I should plan for the future, I will go back to Shanghe Village with you this afternoon, I will learn to read with Brother Qingyu, and I will be admitted to the government office in Yiling County for you Women's school, do your best for our Ye family!"

"You're right to think so." Ye Qiongdan heaved a sigh of relief.

"Actually," she said, suppressing the pain in her throat, pretending to be relaxed, "Actually, Liu Xiusheng is a liar, right? The so-called hero saving the beauty is a scam, right? Afterwards, she also tried every means to defraud me of prescriptions and prescriptions." Is it the recipe?"

"Maybe, it's really a hero who saves the beauty?" Ye Qiongdan didn't want her to be too sad, and forcefully explained, "No matter how bad a person is, he will stand up when he sees a woman alone and being bullied?"

"No, I've already figured it out." Ye Qiongxiang shook her head.

She is honest, but she is not stupid.

Before, she asked Ye Qiongdan if she could give Liu Xiusheng the recipe and recipes, and Ye Qiongdan said let her figure it out.

At that time, she tentatively said what if she told the recipe and recipe?Liu Xiusheng said that he had to leave, and he took a step back and said that he didn't want to force her. It seemed that he was waiting for her to make up her mind.

Yes, she really made up her mind at that moment.

She said "Then I have no choice but to...", in fact, the half-sentence that was not finished was "Send you away".

It's a pity that he didn't have time to say that half of the sentence, and was interrupted by his wife's shout.

She never thought of betraying Adan, everything she had was given by Adan, even if she lost the first person who made her heart flutter, she would not regret it.

But I didn't expect that this person was not worthy of her entrusting her life at all!
Fortunately, she never thought of betraying A Dan. If she pushed A Dan's business into a cliff because of such a person, then she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"Ah Xiang," Ye Qiongdan stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and patted it gently on the palm of his hand, "It was just an accident."

"Don't worry, I won't be sad." Xiang girl took a deep breath, and her eyes gradually became firm, like a chick that has been afraid to fly, finally jumped out of the nest, and bravely flew down the tree. Raised its immature wings.

"Actually, you should have told me earlier." Xiang girl said again.

"At first, I was just skeptical, and I was afraid that you wouldn't listen. We only confirmed this matter in the last two days." Ye Qiongdan stroked her hair and said embarrassedly.

"Well," Xiang girl nodded, not giving herself any more time to be sad, "I'll go and pack up the salute, so as not to be in a hurry when I leave."

"Okay. Shall I help you?" Ye Qiongdan asked with concern.

"No, let me be alone for a while." She pulled the corners of her lips.

Ye Qiongdan had no choice but to leave her room.

After going out, she saw Maid Xue and her second wife waiting in the yard.

"How?" The two asked in unison.

"Hush..." Ye Qiongdan made a silent gesture, "She said she wanted to be alone for a while."

"I'm going to persuade her!" The second daughter-in-law said anxiously.

"Don't go!" Ye Qiongdan shook her head at her, "Let her alone for a while, she will figure it out on her own, besides, you haven't washed your body yet, so you are not afraid of fuming her?"

The second daughter-in-law glanced at her dirty clothes and nodded reluctantly.

After solving the scourge of Liu Xiusheng, Ye Qiongdan immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

Soon, the Yamen handled the case.

The victim's brother sued Liu Xiusheng for raping his sister, but Liu Xiusheng insisted that he did not defile her, that she pursued him so hard that she threw herself into a well because she couldn't think about it.

Therefore, the plaintiff took out some letters, saying that Liu Xiusheng had talked with his sister and promised to marry his sister.

Liu Xiusheng had no choice but to admit that the two had indeed had a relationship, but he refused to admit that he had defiled the victim.

Due to the lack of evidence on both sides, the county magistrate was unable to make an accurate judgment, so he had to ask them to mediate.

The victim's elder brother took this opportunity and asked Liu Xiusheng for compensation of 20 taels of silver.

Naturally, Liu Xiusheng couldn't afford so much money, but the county magistrate felt that it was not too much to use 20 taels of silver to pay for a life, so he asked the master to draw up a document in court, demanding that Liu Xiusheng must pay for it within a three-day period. , Pay 20 taels of silver to the other party.

After the two signed and pledged, the victim's brother happily left with a document. If he had a tail, it must be up to the sky at this time.

Liu Xiusheng was angry and helpless. After returning to Liujia Village in Luoshan Town, he took all his anger on his wife and children. Kicked out of the house, not even the burden of his son.

Bao'er and Niang had to temporarily live in the mountain temple halfway up the mountain. Some kind-hearted villagers sent some daily necessities to the mother and son.

At three o'clock in the morning, the new house in Shanghe Village.

After the group of craftsmen who built the house were sent away, the new house gradually became quiet.

Inviting craftsmen to rebuild the house requires two meals, lunch and dinner.

The lunch is arranged by the girl Hai, and the dinner is arranged by Ye Qiongdan.

When Hai girl was helping to clear the table, she said to Ye Qiongdan: "By the way, Adan, I forgot to tell you something. Today the yamen came to search the village in Shanghe Village."

"What happened again?" Ye Qiongdan thought of the two guards stationed in Qinghe County, and suddenly became vigilant.

"Ye Jiwu ran away! It is said that someone robbed the prisoner, and even hacked and wounded several yamen servants in charge of escorting him!"

"All the prisoners have been released?"

"No, they only robbed Ye Jiwu alone, it looks like it was premeditated," Hai girl sighed, "Today the old house was heavily searched, and things were thrown everywhere, but our new house , the yamen servants know that you are appreciated by the magistrate, so they are kind to Brother Qingyu and me. Sister Adan, what do you think is going on here?"

"Who knows." Ye Qiongdan lowered her eyebrows and kept wiping the table, thinking in her heart that the jade pendant hidden by the second brother on the front foot was stolen by Ye Jigang, and Ye Jiwu was robbed on the back foot. There must be an inevitable connection.

It's just that the matter of the dragon pattern jade pendant should not be explained to outsiders, so she didn't plan to tell the three girls in the second room about it, for fear of causing them great disaster.

"Now everyone in the village is talking about this matter, the old man's face has been completely humiliated, and the old man was so angry that he almost had a stroke!" Hai Yatou said in a low voice.

"Have you invited the doctor?"

"Please, the doctor said it's all right, I need to recuperate for a few days. People in the village say that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the way of heaven is reincarnation. In the past, the big house oppressed the second and third houses for many years, and now it is retribution. Now, the second and third houses The days of Ye’s family are getting more and more prosperous, but the big family is in decline, not to mention his wife and children, and there are fugitives in the family! People in the village, anyway, they don’t sympathize with the Ye family’s big family at all.”

"It's really not worthy of sympathy." Ye Qiongdan nodded.

After a busy day, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

After Ye Qinghan entered the room, he took out the torch and blew it up. Just as he was about to light the lamp, he suddenly found a piece of folded paper under the lamp.

He moved the oil lamp aside, unfolded the note, and looked at it in the clear moonlight.

There is only one sentence on the note - if you want to know your identity, see you at Huaishupo at Zishi today.

Identity?

Could it be an old friend?
Ye Qinghan frowned slightly, wondering if he should believe what was said on the paper.

After a while, he lit the oil lamp and burned the paper to ashes.

The moonlight outside the window gradually moved towards the sky.

When it was almost midnight, Ye Qinghan, who was lying on the bed with all his clothes on, opened his eyes, put on his shoes and walked out gently.

When he closed the gate of the house, Ye Qiongdan, who was meditating on the bed, opened his eyes, frowned suspiciously, and then followed him as lightly as a swallow.

Huaishupo is not far from Shanghe Village, where there are few people.

Some poor families have too many daughters, and they will throw the babies who cannot afford it into the pagoda tree slope, and let them fend for themselves.

Therefore, there is a lot of cloudiness there, even in broad daylight, no one is willing to walk through the forest, let alone go there at night.

Before Ye Qinghan met Ye Qiongdan, he was a staunch atheist, but after seeing him subdue the mother and son, he began to believe that there are demons and ghosts in this world.

But even so, he was not afraid of going to such a gloomy place in the middle of the night.

After arriving at Huaishupo, he stood still and looked around.

A light figure descended from the treetops, half kneeling in front of him.

"My subordinates refer to the Lord." The visitor respectfully gave him a big gift.

"Who are you?" Ye Qinghan stared vigilantly, and unconsciously released a coercion from his whole body.
