Chapter 271 Secrets and Trust

Slowly, Yin Tao actually fell asleep, and she dreamed of her previous life's home.

Dad drank tea with himself under the tree, and mother was busy doing things in the kitchen.

But she clearly knew that that girl was not herself. Although she was exactly the same as herself, her expression was completely different.

At that time, I was very tired every time I went home, and my brows were never completely opened.

Even in the face of her long-lost parents, she is always distracted by work.

But this girl's eyes are clear, looking at her father's eyes full of pure admiration.

Hearing her mother calling her to serve the dishes, she also flew happily to the kitchen like a butterfly.

Dad also went to eat leisurely with his hands behind his back, and the family of three ate happily. There was a TV series on the TV, and the girl watched TV from time to time, and her mother would bring her some food, urging her to watch it after eating.

Yin Tao seemed to be watching all this through a barrier, and she didn't know whether she should be comforted by someone who took her place to accompany her parents filially, or felt sad that her parents gave her love to another person.

Suddenly, someone patted her face lightly, and Yin Tao suddenly opened her eyes. After being dazed for a while, she realized that the person in front of her was Ye Xiuwen.

She stared at him blankly, and Ye Xiuwen also leaned over to stare at Yin Tao like this.

After a long time, Yin Tao said, "Didn't you say you would come back later?"

Ye Xiuwen stretched out his fingers, and gently wiped away the tears on Yin Tao's cheeks.

Only then did Yin Tao realize that tears were streaming down her face.

"Sorry for scaring you today, I shouldn't have let you go through this!" Ye Xiuwen's eyes were full of self-blame and regret, as well as deep distress.

The corner of Yin Tao's mouth curled up: "I know it's the best way for you to arrange this, and I don't blame you!"

Ye Xiuwen hesitated to speak, but Yin Tao looked away, obviously avoiding Ye Xiuwen.

He swallowed back what he wanted to say, lowered his eyes, reached out and hugged Yin Tao out of the water, wrapped her in a big towel, and carefully wiped off the water stains.

He picked up the clothes on the side and slowly helped Yin Tao put them on, with a very serious expression, but unusually silent.

Yin Tao cooperated with Ye Xiuwen obediently. After getting dressed, Ye Xiuwen took her by the hand and walked outside. After telling her to sit down, he stood behind her and helped her wipe the water from her hair.

Yin Tao knew that Ye Xiuwen might have misunderstood the reason for her crying, but she didn't want to talk at this moment, so it was exactly what she wanted.

Huai Ye and Bai Zhi stood outside the door, hearing that there was no conversation inside, both of them were a little worried.

Bai Zhi complained and said in a low voice: "How could the second master put his wife in such a dangerous situation?"

Huai Ye disagreed, and although she lowered her voice, her tone was very serious: "If my wife hadn't followed me today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to catch a big fish."

"But why do these men's affairs involve the family members?"

Huai Ye turned around and looked at Bai Zhi carefully: "Second master and his wife share weal and woe. If the second master has troubles, do you think the wife can stay out of it? How difficult can it be?"

Bai Zhi pouted, she couldn't say Huaijiao, but she didn't agree with it in her heart.

How could any female relatives go to fight and kill like this?
Huai Ye stopped talking, and stood up straight with her sword in her arms. Today's incident also sounded the alarm for her. After so many years, she and Huai Jiao have become a little slack. Except for the routine exercise every morning, they did not regard themselves as dead Sir so desperately.

The door was opened, and Ye Xiuwen walked out holding Yin Tao's hand.

Yin Tao, who was extremely obedient, silently followed Ye Xiuwen back to the house.

He put Yin Tao on the bed and lay down, while he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Yin Tao with complicated and persistent eyes!

"You go to bed first, I'm going to wash up, I'm a little dirty."

After speaking, he got up and went out, but he had obviously changed his clothes.

Yin Tao watched his back disappear, Bai Zhi came in and wanted to talk, but Yin Tao said lightly: "Bai Zhi, you go out first, I want to be alone!"

Bai Zhi had no choice but to back out, and when she closed the door, she saw Ye Xiuwen standing quietly by the window, with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

All that remained in his mind was Yin Tao's tearful face and the sentence: I want to be alone
Yin Tao stared at the candles on the table in a daze. Today's incident really had a big impact on her, but she didn't blame Ye Xiuwen, but Ye Xiuwen found her crying, but how can this be explained?

Except for this matter, she had no reservations about Ye Xiuwen.

In the middle of the moon, Ye Xiuwen was still standing motionless, while Yin Tao in the room had already fallen asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, fine sweat dripping from her forehead.

There was only one candle in the room, so it looked a little dim.

Yin Tao, who had calmed down, found that Ye Xiuwen hadn't come back to sleep.

She froze for a moment, lifted the quilt and got up, put on her coat and came out.

As long as Ye Xiuwen came back, there would be no one on duty outside, so Yin Tao opened the door and walked out.

Huai Ye came out quietly: "Ma'am, what are you doing out here? You're not dressed properly, it will chill you."

Yin Tao put her index finger on her lips, made a silent gesture, and asked softly, "Where is the second master? Why don't you sleep in the room?"

Huaijiao replied in a low voice, "Second Master went to the ancestral hall!"

What are you doing at the ancestral hall so late?
Huaijiao gathered her clothes and was about to go out, Huaijiao naturally knew what she was going to do, so she hurriedly took a lantern from the porch to illuminate Yin Tao's way.

"No need, I can see it, you go to rest, I'll go find the second master myself." Yin Tao stopped her, Huai Ye was tired after a few days, she didn't want her to follow.

Seeing that Huai Ye was worried, Yin Tao said again: "I have something to say to Second Master, you don't have to follow."

Now that the talk is on this point, Huaijiao can only be sent to the bridge and watch Yin Tao go alone.

Someone was guarding the gate of the ancestral hall. Yin Tao came over and was about to report, but was stopped by Yin Tao.

Just as she was about to lift her foot to enter the ancestral hall, she suddenly stopped. The candles inside were flickering and bright.

Ye Xiuwen sat cross-legged on the ground in the middle, staring at the tablet above in a daze, his tall back was a little stooped, looking a little lonely and pitiful.

Yin Tao's heart ached for no reason, she touched her heart, and stepped into the ancestral hall.

When Ye Xiuwen heard the sound, he thought it was someone from the family. He didn't look back, until a pair of cool and soft hands covered his shoulders, and he looked up at the person behind him.

But when she turned around, she found that Yin Tao was wearing very thin clothes, she immediately got up and said anxiously: "Why are you running here, and you don't wear an extra layer of clothes, your hands are cold!"

"Let's go, let's go back to sleep." He was about to drag Yin Tao out, but he saw that there was no one outside the door, so he said dissatisfiedly, "Why is no one following?"

Yin Tao broke away from Ye Xiuwen's hand, went to the futon and knelt down, kowtowed seriously, then got up and walked out holding Ye Xiuwen's arm: "Let's go!"

The two walked out of the yard, the moonlight was good tonight, and the two walked slowly along the winding bridge.

"What are you doing here so late without going to sleep? Are you here to sue me?" Yin Tao asked in a teasing tone after she slept and felt better.

"Today can be regarded as avenging my mother, I want to come and talk to her!" Ye Xiuwen smiled lightly: "You are so kind, why should I complain?"

"Then why don't you ask me to join you? Doesn't your mother-in-law think that my daughter-in-law is not filial?" Yin Tao made jokes.

Ye Xiuwen suddenly hugged Yin Tao, and said with an evil smile: "It's late at night, let's go back to sleep quickly!"

Yin Tao let Ye Xiuwen hold her, and reached out to touch his chin: "You have stubble!"

"Ok!"

"Ye Xiuwen, I have a secret, but I'm not ready to tell you. Maybe, I will say it on the day I die. Will you be angry?"

Ye Xiuwen stopped in his tracks, and looked down at the woman in his arms under the moonlight.

After a while, Ye Xiuwen put her down, turned around and leaned against the railing, and sighed softly: "Sometimes I think, there must be a reason for you not to tell me your secret, I am willing to wait, but sometimes I And I can’t help but wonder if it’s because I’m not good enough that my wife doesn’t trust me that much.”

Yin Tao snuggled into Ye Xiuwen's arms, hugging Ye Xiuwen's waist tightly.
