"The capital is at the feet of the emperor, they are so brave!" When Ye Zhichen heard this, he slapped his hands on the table angrily.
After a subtle "click", a deep crack appeared on the oily huanghuali wood table.
"Master, you are trying too hard -" Leng Qiu glanced at the table, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but speak. However, after seeing Ye Zhichen's frosty face, he stiffened the rest of his words.
He swallowed it alive.
It was just a table, and it was cracked by his master, so he was not frightened to the point of being helpless. When he spoke, he just wanted to remind his master: Don't let anger go to your head.
But now Ye Zhichen couldn't listen to the words of persuasion at all. He squinted at Nanny Qin and asked: "That day in Prince Xian's Mansion, was this the only thing you saw and heard?"
Aunt Qin nodded repeatedly and replied: "That masked woman is even more powerful than His Highness the Xian Wang. She said directly in front of Prime Minister Su that she would present evidence of his crime to the Emperor!"
"I don't know whether this matter was successful or not. After all, that night, Su Xiang and the others were imprisoned in Prince Xian's Mansion, and I was also imprisoned somewhere else."
"On the evening of the next day, His Highness the King Xian asked the guards to send the old woman, me, and Su Xiang's family back. Since then, they have been locked in the woodshed, and they did not escape until today."
Ye Zhichen closed his eyes hard. He finally knew why Su Wan became like that. It turned out that something happened to Su Chen and Su Yu...
"First drag her down and lock her up. Give her a mouthful of food to prevent her from starving to death." After Ye Zhichen finished speaking, he took a few cakes on the table and threw them to Nanny Qin.
Grandma Qin took it in her hand and started chewing it without saying a word. She didn't even salivate and almost choked herself to death.
It was past the ugly time, but Ye Zhichen couldn't sleep now. He got up and walked out of the house, out of the yard, wandering aimlessly in the house, and unknowingly walked to the garden.
Summer is coming to an end, and the lotus flowers in the lake have all withered, leaving only the lotus pods filled with lotus seeds. Several driving poles near the lake are bare, obviously they have been picked away.
There was a pavilion not far away. Ye Zhichen walked over and sat down. While blowing the night breeze, he thought about everything he and Su Wan had experienced in the years they had known each other.
They had known each other for more than four years, and the first time they met was when she had just arrived in Jiangnan and a few months after giving birth to Su Chen and Su Yu.
At that time, he had just taken over the Ye family's property. Seeing that Su Wan was alone with her two infant children, walking through the streets all day long. He understood her hardship and gave her some money.
She still remembered the way Su Wan looked at him at that time. In addition to surprise, there was gratitude in her eyes.
"May I ask the young master's name? Where should I look for him in the future and return the money I borrowed today?" This was the first thing Su Wan said to Ye Zhichen.
Ye Zhichen just smiled at that time and replied: "These coins are given to you by me, there is no need to return them."
After saying that, he turned back to his shop and forgot about it.
But Su Wan firmly remembered his kindness that day in her heart. You know, at that time, she didn't even have five taels of silver in her body.
She thought that Su Wan would use all the money he gave her on her two children. But she didn’t expect that a year later, she would pass by a newly opened pharmacy shop and watch her standing with the shopkeeper and several important people in the shop.
In one row, they all held scissors in their hands to cut the ribbon for the shop.
I don’t know where she came from. After everyone cut the red silk and set off firecrackers, she announced that her shop was open...
In the blink of an eye, so much time had passed. He watched with his own eyes as Su Wan's shops opened one after another. He also saw that in order to give her two children the best life, she also changed the houses she lived in one after another.
Finally, I bought a house with five in and five out in the most beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, and lived there comfortably with my two little dumplings...
During the more than four years that Ye was there, Su Wan also fulfilled her promise to find him and returned the money she "borrowed" from him.
The Ye family mainly specializes in tea making, making a lot of tea every year and sending it to shops everywhere for sale.
When Su Wan saw him, she not only returned him ten times his money, but also presented five scented tea recipes. Once scented tea was released, it received praise from wealthy families and official ladies from all over the world.
In just a few years, the types of scented teas in their shop have accounted for more than half of the tea house's business...
