The daughter is so cute

Chapter 498 13 years ago

As the night gradually deepened, the entire East Palace fell silent.

Wei Yun lay there, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

In his mind, he recalled Ye Chaoge's extremely violent reaction when hunting was mentioned twice.

He knew that her resistance to hunting was not because of Ye Cibai, but because of him!
He didn't know what made her like this, nor did he know what she was hiding, let alone what she was worried about.

It's not that she doesn't want to ask, nor does she want to find out, it's just that she doesn't want to talk, and he doesn't want to force her.

Don't ask or force, it doesn't mean you won't think or doubt.

Not only he was puzzled, Ye Cibai was also puzzled.

He didn't want to embarrass her, so after he came out of Yi Ning Yuan, he went to find Ye Cibai and prevaricated on the grounds of his safety.

It's just that Ye Cibai was fooled, but he couldn't be fooled by himself!
What is she hiding, and what is she worrying about, or...

What are you afraid of?
The more I think about it, the more sleepless I become.

However, I thought about it all night until dawn, but I never came up with a reason.

From her return to Beijing to the present, no one knows better than him what has happened around her. None of them are related to hunting, and they can't even be matched...

At this moment, a familiar and long-standing panic surged in my heart.

she……

……

The hunting matter was like a wild goose passing by without a trace, without a trace, as if it had never happened.

This made Ye Chaoge heave a sigh of relief, she really didn't want to deceive her brother.

Fortunately, since that day, he never mentioned it again.

After two days of such peace, Ye Chaoge slowly let the matter go.

It's just that there is a string in my heart, which is still tense.

Today, she was looking at the dowry list sent by Nanny Chen in Yining Garden, and the servant came to report it, and Uncle Tian came.

Presumably, the matter of entrusting Tian Bo to send people to Dongdu to find Yu NaiNiang and others came to fruition.

as predicted.

After exchanging pleasantries, Tian Bo said: "Miss Sun, not long ago, the people sent by my subordinates to Dongdu came back and brought back the people who were involved in the incident back then, but they only brought back four people."

"Four people?"

Ye Chaoge frowned. She remembered Liu Mama said that including Nanny Yu, her mother sold six people in total.

Tian Bo nodded, and said again: "According to the investigation by the people sent to the Eastern Capital, those six people were all sold to the Wang Mansion in the Eastern Capital by the toothmaid, but now there are only four of those six people left."

"Nurse Yu passed away a few years ago, and another servant named Hong Chuang died unexpectedly not long after going to Wang's Mansion, so only four people were brought back. They are now in the General's Mansion."

Nanny Yu died?
Serving her personally back then, is the most likely to know that the nanny she got lost back then died?
"How did Nanny Yu die?" Ye Chaoge asked.

"It is said that he is ill."

"Where's Hong Chuang?"

"I got up at night and stepped on the sky and fell into the well."

Ye Chaoge pursed his lips.

After pondering for a while, he decided to take a trip to the General's Mansion.

Immediately let people prepare the carriage, and told Madam Liu to go over to Ning Yuan and Qi Shi to speak, and then went out with Tian Bo with Hongmei Hongchen.

Before leaving the mansion, he met Ye Cibai who had just returned to the mansion.

He looked at his younger sister, who had a strange expression, and then at Uncle Tian.

He wanted to ask, but this is not the place to talk, he said: "I haven't seen my grandfather for a few days, I will go back to the general's mansion with you."

Ye Chaoge nodded.

After the carriage drove two streets away, Ye Cibai just asked what happened?
Tian Bo looked at Ye Chaoge, and after getting the latter's nod, he said the matter again.

After hearing this, Ye Cibai was furious: "Why did you tell me such a big thing now?"

"It's not that I won't tell you, it's just that it hasn't been confirmed yet." Talking about unconfirmed guesses will only make him worry, and the grandfather can't hide it, there is no way.

"what about now?"

Ye Chaoge shook his head, "I don't know either."

……

The front hall of the general's mansion.

Qi Jiren was away, Ye Cibai and Ye Chaoge sat separately.

After a while, the four people were brought up, two men and two women, both in their 30s.

The women have already made women's buns, one is called Qiuyue and the other is called Qiuhua.

The two men were named Chen Ping and Ren Sanlei.

"Miss……"

As soon as she entered the door, Qiuyue looked at Ye Chaoge and knelt down on the ground with a thud, choked up, "Miss, it was the servants' fault back then, I lost sight of my little master..."

The other three also knelt down one after another.

"Miss, what happened back then was due to the carelessness of the little ones. I beg you, for the sake of the passage of time, please forgive us. We didn't mean it at the beginning."

"Yes, Miss, there were too many people at the Lantern Festival, and we were scattered..."

"Miss, please forgive me. There are old people and younger ones, please let us go."

Several people begged for mercy.

When people from the General's Mansion approached them in Wang's Mansion, they were extremely uneasy, especially when they were brought back to the long-lost Shangjing City, they were even more uneasy.

Although Dongdu is far away from Shangjing, after all, it is not separated by hundreds of thousands of miles. They naturally heard all kinds of rumors about Shangjing in Dongdu.

Knowing that the young lady they lost back then has been found; also knowing that she has suffered a lot outside these years; knowing that the young lady is now the master of the Ye family, and knowing that she is about to marry the prince...

They were afraid, afraid that Ye Chaoge would settle accounts with them.

After all, if they hadn't lost her, she wouldn't have endured hardships outside, and she wouldn't have been homeless for more than ten years even though she was a rich lady!

"Everyone be quiet, Miss came back with you not to settle accounts with you, but to ask you something." Tian Bo said loudly.

Hearing this, the crying of the four people paused.

"Really?"

"Can it be fake if it's not true? You don't even think about it. If Miss settles accounts with you, just send someone to Dongdu to settle the matter. Why bother to bring you to Beijing?"

Hong Chen had a temper tantrum, and said angrily.

The four of them looked at each other in blank dismay, which was indeed reasonable.

Moreover, they were never saddened on the way back to Beijing, and it was the same after they came to the General's Mansion.

It really doesn't look like you want to settle accounts with them.

Seeing that they were quiet, Ye Chaoge said, "How much do you remember when I was lost?"

"I remember clearly. Although many years have passed, I never forget even a single moment of what happened that day." On that day, they not only lost sight of their little master, but also a turning point in their fate.

If it wasn't for this, they wouldn't have been beaten up and sold out.

The other three nodded in agreement.

"Okay, each of you will talk about the details of the day, who will say it first?"

The four of them looked at each other, and Qiuyue said, "Let's talk about it first, slave girl. Back then, slave girl and Qiuhua were maidservants serving the young lady. On the Lantern Festival that day, the two servant girls went out with the nurse to watch the lanterns with the young lady..."
