Chapter 286 Doubt
With the lights dimmed, Ye Xinyi had already fallen asleep, but Shen Yue kept his eyes open, looking at her sleeping face, completely devoid of sleepiness.A pair of lacquered eyes were concentrating, casting a dark color.

Is it really just a coincidence?In the box in his study room, there is a piece of paper that was put aside randomly.It was the list about Gu Huan's likes and dislikes that Xiangsi gave him when he came to see him for the last time.

Although Shen Yue only glanced at it and locked it in the box without looking at it again, those words always popped into his mind at certain times.Gu Huan doesn't like sweets, but likes to eat crispy and salty pastries, and Ye Xinyi does the same.Gu Huan likes to use a slingshot, and she is used to holding the bow with her right hand and pulling the string with her left hand, which is a little different from others. Therefore, her slingshot is also a little different from what others are used to.The slingshot that Ye Xinyi picked up today has those subtle differences. It is used by people who are used to holding the bow with their right hand and pulling the string with their left hand.

Of course, these two things mean nothing.But afraid of cats?Still afraid of being like that, I'm afraid it's hard to find a few people in this world, right?

Why Ye Xinyi was so afraid of cats, she said she couldn't remember.However, he knew why Gu Huan was so afraid of cats.

Xiangsi once said that at that time, Gu Huan was only five years old, and his temperament was completely different when he was young, timid and timid.But because of her outstanding looks and Yuxue's cuteness, she can be considered a pick even in the Gu family.Therefore, it also made her two half-sisters very uncomfortable, and her temper was weak, and it was commonplace for her to be bullied.

That time, Gu Yi and Gu Xin tricked her into an abandoned courtyard and locked her up.Two wild cats who had been hungry for many days were put in that room at the same time.It was said that rabbits would bite people when they were in a hurry, let alone cats. Moreover, Gu Huan had just been splashed with a pot of fish-raising water in front of him, and his body smelled fishy.Shen Yue has seen an extremely hungry cat pounce on a strong man, and its claws are no less sharp than ferocious beasts.It's just that he lost his strength, and when the strong man threw it away, he was still scratched several times by the cat.

However, that was a strong man, while Gu Huan at that time was just a five-year-old girl.

How could she be a match for two hungry cats?

How she spent that night, no one knows.

All he knew was that when she was found, she had passed out in that abandoned house, with two bloody wild cat corpses lying beside her.As for her body and limbs, there were signs of being bitten by the wild cat, and in several places, the bones were even visible.There is also a spot on the face, thanks to it behind the ear.

Moreover, the cat's minions were probably not clean, and she was quite frightened. After being brought back, she developed a high fever and fell into a coma.Others thought she was hopeless, but she survived.However, since then, her temperament has changed, and she is no longer as cowardly as before.If Gu Yi and Gu Xin wanted to bully her, she would bully her back, doubly so.Even if she was punished later, or even beaten up by her father, she would still be the same.Moreover, except for Lin Lang, no one knew that since that night, she had developed another problem, that is, she was afraid of cats.

It's not ordinary fear, even if you hear a cat meowing, your whole body will become stiff, your hands and feet won't work, your face will be pale, and your whole body will be sweating cold, just like a serious illness.

However, it couldn't be more similar to Ye Xinyi's symptoms just now.

Since it is a secret, in this world, except for Lin Lang, only he knows it.If Ye Xinyi was the little girl four years ago, he suspected that she had something to do with Gu Huan at the beginning, and he still doubts it now.And at that time, she knew that Xiangsi's reaction when she died of illness, thinking about it now, isn't it too strong?However, Xiangsi definitely doesn't know her, and he is also very clear about the relationship around her.There is no entanglement with the Gu family of General Mingwei's residence, nor with Gu Huan.Obviously impossible, so why?
What is the relationship between her and Gu Huan?
Shen Yue raised his hand, gently brushed aside her hair, and took a closer look at her white and tender earlobes.There is no cinnabar mole there, but there is a slight imprint, which is only slightly lighter than the skin color. It is a scar, very inconspicuous, and you will never notice it if you don't look carefully.

I want to cover it up. Shen Yue's eyes are as deep as a dark sea.

Ye Xinyi didn't know the entanglement in Shen Yue's heart at all, but he slept very soundly in the second half of the night. When he woke up, it was already high in the sun, and Shen Yue had already gone to Beizhen Fusi.

Ye Xinyi got up as usual, washed up, and had breakfast.

Chang'an came to see him.

"Ma'am, a few days ago, I overheard Sister Liu Lu talking to my wife, saying that she wanted to find two followers for the adults. It just so happened that the little one had a cousin who was in the rivers and lakes earlier, and went through the escort agency with him." , the kung fu is not bad, and he is the most honest and honest, so the younger one thought to ask his wife to give him a chance to reward the younger cousin with a meal." Chang'an said Qian'er, smiling, talking as usual That's pretty good.

Ye Xinyi didn't seem to have expected that Chang'an came here for this matter, he looked surprised, and after looking at Liu Lu, he smiled and raised his hand, letting Chang'an excuse him.

"So it's because of this matter. I mentioned this matter to my lord, and he thinks it's good. However, I can't decide whether this person is following your lord. So how about it, I will talk to your lord later. Titi, if your lord agrees, I will call you back. You bring your cousin to show your lord, after all, you have to like him. As for honesty, you recommend it, and my lord is right. rest assured."

Ye Xinyi said it kindly, and Chang An was happy to hear it, he let out a loud "Hey", and then said "Thanks for your trouble", and then bowed his hands and retreated.

The smile on Ye Xinyi's face faded away, and he turned to glance at Liu Lu. After casting the bait for a long time, the fish finally took the bait.

When Shen Yue came back from the Yamen, Ye Xinyi personally went to pick him up at the gate of the courtyard, and talked about it in front of Chang'an.

Shen Yue glanced at Chang'an, he valued him normally, so naturally he would not refute his face, so he immediately nodded and asked Chang'an to bring his cousin over to have a look while he was resting in two days.

Chang An was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed.

On the second day, Shen Yue was rarely free and came back to have lunch with Ye Xinyi.

The dish was just put on the table, but the rich uncle came to report that someone had come to the palace.

The one who came was actually the cicada who was serving by Princess Zhaoning.He also brought some gifts, which he said were rewarded by Concubine Xie.

What Concubine Xie showed in front of people was that she liked Ye Xinyi, even when she was ill, she specially took Ye Xinyi into the palace to accompany her for so many days.Regardless of whether it is true or false, it is something to appreciate, but it is not so eye-catching.

As for what it was for, both the gift giver and the recipient knew it well.

Ye Xinyi was afraid that if she didn't accept it, Concubine Xie Guifei might think that she had bigger plans, so after thanking her, Aunt Cai and Liu Lu accepted the gift.

Only then did Chan'er take out a letter, handed it to Ye Xinyi and said, "Mrs. Shen, this servant is here mainly to deliver a letter to Mrs. Shen on behalf of my princess."
