Chapter 6

Instigator?
Like young women?

Ye Qingyou was immediately stunned!

This doesn't sound like something Xia Ying could say?She even felt King Luoning's sharp knife across her neck... Things were getting out of control!

"Did you tell me who you caught? Why are you spreading such bad rumors?" she asked quickly after regaining her composure.

The mother-in-law shook her head, "I don't know. This old slave is not worthy of serving in the main courtyard. I will tell you as soon as I hear the news."

Chuntang's lips trembled with fear.

If Xia Ying is caught by King Luoning, whether she is willing to admit it or not, Lady Ye will definitely be implicated!

"Don't panic, don't panic!" Ye Qingyou grasped Chun Tang's hand tightly, "We are the victims of random rumors, and we are the innocent ones!"

Chuntang nodded repeatedly, not daring to speak.She shrank half of her face behind Ye Qingyou, fearing that her secret would be exposed if she didn't notice.

But who wouldn’t be afraid after hearing this?That is the cold and bloodthirsty King Luoning!

Ye Qingyou calmed down and asked her mother-in-law to inquire again, "Mom is not allowed to come near to serve me, so just ask the people in front of the hall."

She took two taels of silver and gave it to her mother-in-law, "It's a small gesture to treat the girls to some snacks."

The money was given to facilitate the work.

The mother-in-law smiled, accepted the money, and ran off to the front hall to inquire.

Chuntang's heart felt as dull as a ball of cotton, "Why don't you run away now, madam? If the general finds out that you encouraged Xia Ying to do what he did, he will definitely beat you to death!"

Yin Wenzhao had been violent to his wife before, and Chun Tang was still frightened.

Ye Qingyou sat on the wooden bench in the courtyard and shook her head, "If Xia Ying is really caught, we won't be able to escape anywhere. The person we have to face in this matter is not Yin Wenzhao, but King Luoning."

He was aloof, and his hands and eyes were all over the sky. Won't she be chased back wherever she ran?
Chuntang's heart was beating fast, "Then shall we wait here to die?"

Ye Qingyou pondered for a long time, "Calculate how much money we have. If we are really targeted by King Luoning, we can only sacrifice our family wealth to save our lives."

Spending money to eliminate disasters is the last resort.

Chuntang's heart grew colder the more she listened to it. King Luoning was a prince favored by His Majesty. He was not an ordinary citizen. How could he be short of three melons and two dates like my wife?

But she didn't dare to talk nonsense, and Ye Qingyou didn't have time to feel sorry for herself.

She went back to the house and wrote a letter. If Xia Ying's secret was really revealed, she would have to go beyond the Yin family and establish a relationship with King Luoning before she could negotiate terms.

Otherwise, her private property will definitely be misappropriated by Yin Wenzhao, and she will never be left with a way to survive.

"If Yin Wenzhao brings someone to arrest me later, you must not show your face, immediately change your clothes and jump out of the small door, and then give the letter to Uncle Dong. He will understand after reading it."

Uncle Dong is Ye Qingyou's mother's dowry shopkeeper. After her mother passed away, Uncle Dong did not leave. He has been helping Ye Qingyou manage the store. He taught the Xia Ying brothers their skills.

Chuntang took the letter and felt very nervous, "I can help you delay this. Wouldn't it be better for me to go find Uncle Dong myself?"

"What can you delay, little girl? Yin Wenzhao will beat you to death with one slap. He is a cannibal and won't talk nonsense to you." Ye Qingyou had already seen through Yin Wenzhao that he was not a human being at all.

Chuntang could only wrap the letter in a handkerchief several times and put it on her body to hide it.

The master and servant just waited.

I waited until nightfall during the day, but the mother-in-law still didn't come to say a word.

Ye Qingyou wondered, could it be that she was overthinking?But no matter what, the mother-in-law would not show up, and the doubts in her heart became even heavier!
"Madam? Madam, are you there?"

At the second watch, the mother-in-law quietly shouted outside the courtyard.Chuntang jumped up in excitement and ran out of the house.

"What's going on? Why did you only reply in the middle of the night?" Ye Qingyou put on her clothes and saw someone, and couldn't help complaining.

The mother-in-law took a look around, then put her hand behind her back and shook it. Like a little wild cat, Xia Ying quietly slipped out from under the wall.

"Xia Ying?" Haitang shouted in surprise.

Ye Qingyou's eyes narrowed, and she immediately pulled Xia Ying in, "Don't speak, let's talk inside first!"

"Madam, please make a long story short. There was a big commotion in the mansion today! The old slave took the risk to guard here. If the princess finds out, his life will be in danger!" The woman tiptoed, as if she was a thief.

"Thank you, mom. I will let her go back after saying a few words. I will never embarrass you!"

Ye Qingyou thanked her and hurriedly brought Xia Ying into the house.

Chuntang did not follow him in, but stood guard at the door.

"What's going on? You're not in trouble, are you?" Ye Qingyou looked at Xia Ying, filled with worry.

Xia Ying hurriedly spoke, "I'm fine, slave! That's not what I'm saying! I only passed it to three small teahouses to see the results, but my words went wrong! I saw something was wrong, so I quickly sent everyone to Withdrew!"

"I guessed it wasn't you!"

Ye Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that the general has many enemies, and those words were directed at King Luoning."

"King Luoning has a special status and is ruthless in his actions. I'm afraid there are many people who hate him." Xia Ying said hurriedly.

"Said the instigator has been caught? Who is it?" Ye Qingyou asked.

"The deputy general under Yin Wenzhao."

Xia Ying no longer respectfully addressed Yin Wenzhao, "She said she was jealous that he married Princess Xi, so she talked nonsense when she was drunk, and it spread when people heard her."

"It's just a scapegoat, otherwise it would be impossible to target King Luoning. The person behind the scenes has a high status." Ye Qingyou didn't believe that a deputy general dared to be so bold.

"So what should we do in the future? This momentum has gone astray, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to reverse it." Xia Ying came over in the middle of the night, first to reassure Ye Qingyou, and secondly, she really didn't know what to do.

Ye Qingyou pursed her lower lip, "Although the words were unpleasant to hear, Yin Wenzhao didn't dare to touch me for a while... How is the investigation of Mrs. Hu's case?"

She can't sit still.

No matter how much energy she expends, she will find the person who pushed her into the water and drowned!
"Ms. Hu has been very honest these days and has not left the house. I have already got the guest list for Princess Xi's wedding. I will go with my elder brother to check them out one by one later to see who can talk to you. match."

Ye Qingyou was very confident about what the brothers and sisters were doing, "Be careful in everything. Let the messengers leave the capital first to avoid the limelight. If they are really targeted by King Luoning, your life is the first priority."

Xia Ying immediately nodded in agreement. In fact, she was also very nervous when it came to King Luoning.

The master and servant chattered a few words, and Xia Ying quickly followed her mother-in-law and quietly slipped out of the back corner door.

Ye Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xia Ying disappear.

The mother-in-law sent Xia Ying away to report that she was safe, and Ye Qingyou gave her some money.

The mother-in-law did not accept it this time, "Old slave, I am not helping you for money. I really feel sorry for my wife."

"Today, people from the royal palace came to our door. The general put all the blame on you. Not to mention how unpleasant those words are. Even the bitches in the alley can't say those words!"

The mother-in-law was disdainful and spat to the side, "With such a narrow heart, you can't even think of how you can lead troops in a war? You must be hiding behind and letting others die first!"

Ye Qingyou was too lazy to scold him and asked further, "Didn't it last all day? The people in the palace said who the messenger was and left so easily?"
