Chapter 29 The Song Family
At Yue Lai Inn, Ye Yuxuan stood in front of the window and looked at the starry sky outside the window. Her thoughts gradually drifted away with the twinkling stars in the sky. In the past two days, she had been idle in the inn and inquired about many things.
At first, due to the news of Ye You's death, there was some internal turmoil in Yun Qingguo. Then the news of the destruction of the Ye family spread, which made many generals who were already close to the Ye family start to panic.
Although Ye Xinghe took the blame later, anyone who is not stupid can see that this matter is full of doubts. After all, how could the eldest son compete with his sister for the family business? This reason is more like an excuse.
The military officers, generals, and ministers with whom the family was close were all a bit insecure, and they suspected that the emperor wanted to clean up the world, so he took such a heavy step.
And at this time of turmoil, the Li family took action. They asked the emperor for an order to let Ye Yuxuan take over Ye Yun's cavalry. They married Ye Yuxuan into the Li family and married Li Ruohu into the Ye family. They also planned to rebuild the Ye Mansion.
Will move back to Ye Mansion to live.
This edict is very subtle. If the emperor is accurate, it will prove that the emperor does not want to target the Ye family. Then the reasons for wanting Ye Xinghe before are true no matter how outrageous they are. If the emperor is not accurate, then these will have nothing to do with the Ye family.
The close military, generals and ministers should think carefully about how to settle down.
To everyone's surprise, the emperor actually approved this memorial, and the somewhat turbulent situation stabilized for a while. Although it was still a bit unbelievable to think that Ye Xinghe could do such a thing. But since the emperor also asked Ye
Yun Tieqi was returned to the Ye family, so what Ye Xinghe thought had nothing to do with them.
Of course, what everyone didn't know was that the eldest daughter of the Ye family had been replaced at this time. The Li family's move could be described as killing two birds with one stone. It not only confirmed Ye Xinghe's crime, but also took Ye Yun's cavalry into his own hands.
Ye Yuxuan thought about the news that she had inquired about in the past few days. Although she knew that it was all a conspiracy of the Li family, she could not do anything to them. She shook her head as if to get rid of the thoughts that were bothering her. Ye Yuxuan closed the window.
, returned to bed and fell asleep lightly.
The next day, the caravan did not show up as promised. It was not until the morning of the third day that Ye Yuxuan heard the noise downstairs in her room. When she opened the door, she saw that it was the fat man who had arrived late with the caravan. He seemed to be there.
He spotted Ye Yuxuan at a glance and was greeting her with a smile. Ye Yuxuan walked to the boss. The fat man smiled sheepishly.
"Hey, sir, I'm really sorry. I was forced to stay for one day and my appointment with you was delayed."
"It's okay, can I?" Ye Yuxuan waved her hand nonchalantly, then pointed to the carriage parked in the yard.
"Oh oh oh! Okay, okay, sir, please come over here." After saying that, the fat man led Ye Yuxuan towards the carriage.
After turning around, Ye Yuxuan's face became a little ugly. She turned around and asked the fat man.
"I saw a dark and skinny girl in your motorcade that day. Why is she not here?" She asked the fat man anxiously.
"Well, sir, if you don't find anything here, it means they have all been left behind by the Song family. Why don't you take a look at the others or tell me if you have any requests. We will be there in two days.
The caravan passed by here." Fatty explained.
"No need, it's just that I suddenly felt happy that day." Ye Yuxuan waved her hands, feeling a little frustrated. She then asked the fat man, "Boss, I wonder if it would be convenient for you to reveal what the Song family did to buy these slaves back?"
"
Hearing Ye Yuxuan's question, the fat man looked at her with a somewhat embarrassed expression. Ye Yuxuan looked at the fat man who was hesitating in front of her, reached out and took out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it over. The fat man quietly took the bill handed over by Ye Yuxuan.
, secretly glanced at the face value, and then the fat face that was full of embarrassment just now smiled and looked at Ye Yuxuan.
"Haha, sir, what are you doing? With our friendship, is this a trivial matter still a big deal? Just ask whatever you want."
Ye Yuxuan looked at the fat man in front of her who could turn around faster than turning the pages of a book.
He said, "I think it's true that you have a relationship with Qian. You'd better forget it with me." The fat man saw that Ye Yuxuan ignored him. He coughed twice in embarrassment and continued.
"Ahem, the people who were sold into the Song Dynasty were, according to them, working as domestic slaves, but they were nothing more than that!"
"But what?" Looking at the fat man who was hesitating again, Ye Yuxuan thought he wanted money again, so she gave him a sharp look and asked.
Looking at Ye Yuxuan's eyes, the fat man trembled, as if he knew what she was thinking, and continued quickly, "Please don't get me wrong, sir. It's just that we have been walking on this trade road all year round. This Song family has been here since ten years."
Those who started buying slaves from us not long ago have sold more than half of the slaves to the Song family in the past ten years. If they buy them back to serve as slaves and servants as they say, then I'm afraid the entire Song family won't be able to accommodate them."
Hearing this, Ye Yuxuan frowned slightly and was a little confused. If it was true as the fat man in front of her said, the Song family might not be that simple. After asking about the location of the Song family, Ye Yuxuan waved the fat man away and turned to walk out the door.
, she planned to go around the Song family to see what the Song family was like.
It's not that Ye Yuxuan is nosy, it's just that the girl she met a few days ago does look similar to Hanmei, which arouses her compassion. If the girl is really just taken into the Song family as a maid, she can be fed and clothed.
It was better than continuing to be beaten in the caravan, but if she was admitted to the Song family just to satisfy some people's bad tastes or other things, then Ye Yuxuan would inevitably feel a little guilty if she ignored her.
We walked all the way to the Song Mansion. From the elegant carvings on the gate and the box-shaped stone pier next to it, we can see that the Song Mansion should be a scholarly family, and such a scholarly family usually has people who are knowledgeable and sensible.
