Ye Sili looked at the person on the bed. He was pitifully thin and his voice was extremely weak. His originally gentle and delicate face was frighteningly pale at this moment. However, his eyes were firmly looking at Ye Sili, as if he wanted to express his loyalty with all his heart.
Cut it out to show sincerity.
"Sir, we found it." Bai Yi quietly walked to Gu Liyou and said in a low voice.
"Qingluo was originally the eldest son of the Xu family. Later, the Xu family was confiscated. At that time, Qingluo was studying abroad, and Master Xu's friends protected him. He escaped death, but was demoted to a slave. It happened that Miss Zhou Jiuer fell in love with him.
, and took him back to Zhou Mansion."
"He is the eldest son of Xu." Gu Liyou put down the wine glass in his hand and said meaningfully.
The winter moon was coming to an end, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Ye Sili huddled in Yusheng Courtyard all day long, unwilling to go out.
"Princess, today is the winter solstice, and the night market is very busy. I will dress you up beautifully. How about we go out to play?" Munchun stood beside the bed and begged in a soft tone.
"I won't go, I won't go. It's getting colder and colder lately, and I'm too lazy to move." Ye Sili turned over and hugged her quilt tightly.
Late spring gave Huan Xia a look and asked her to help persuade her. Unexpectedly, Huan Xia just shrugged and said that she was helpless.
In late spring, he stamped his feet because he hated the iron, and racked his brains to persuade him:
"Princess, you have been hiding in the yard since you came back from hunting. It's time to go out and get some fresh air."
Late spring looked outside.
"Looking outside the window, the weather is nice. There must be sunshine today. Shall we go out to bask in the sun?"
Ye Sili remained motionless, which made Munchun and Huanxia very distressed.
Their princess is good at everything, just like an animal that wants to hibernate when the weather gets cold, and no one can call her out... No, it's not that no one can call her out.
Late spring walked towards the bed with a smile and whispered:
"Princess, I just met Bai Yi. He said that the young master went out early this morning to attend an appointment with Master Jiu Feng and the fifth princess. Today is the Winter Solstice. As the saying goes, 'The winter solstice is as big as the new year.' Princess, you really don't want to go with us."
Master, are you celebrating the New Year?"
"What? Ayou is out?"
Sure enough, late spring couldn't hold back her smile.
Ye Sili immediately sat up, and Munchun put on her coat.
"Where did Ayou go?"
"Zuiyun Tower."
"Okay, they didn't even call me during the holidays."
"Princess, the fifth princess sent Mo'er to the house yesterday to invite her, but you refused."
"..."
Under Ye Sili's urging, Late Chun Huanxia quickly helped her wash up and dress up. The three of them were hurriedly going out, but they met Bai Yi at the gate of the courtyard.
"Princess Princess, why are you out here?" Bai Yi felt that he hadn't seen Ye Sili for quite some time.
"Where's Ayou?"
Bai Yi looked at Mu Chun with questioning eyes, but Mu Chun made a proud face.
"Young Master is at... Zuiyun Tower."
Hearing this, Ye Sili left a message, "Call me Qingluo" and left in a hurry.
"Young Master, he..." Bai Yizheng was about to explain, but saw that Ye Sili had already left.
He grabbed Mu Chun and asked, "Liar! Didn't you promise me to keep it secret?"
Late spring slapped his hand away, knocked it down and said, "Who told the young master to abandon the princess and go out to play by himself?"
Ye Sili got on the carriage and said, "Qingluo, go to Wujia Village."
Late spring and Huan Xia also got on the carriage. Late spring said in confusion: "Princess, aren't the young master and the others in Zuiyun Tower? Aren't we looking for them?"
Ye Sili raised the car curtain and looked at the lively market, and said: "If my guess is correct, Ayou and the others must be going to Wujiacun today. Speaking of which, we haven't been there for a long time."
Munchun patted his head and suddenly realized: "I forgot about this."
Wujiacun is located in the west of the city and is in a remote location. The old and young in the village have a difficult life. Ye Sili and others often visit them when they have free time.
As the carriage headed towards the west of the city, the number of people on the street gradually became sparse, and the place where you saw changed from a bustling flower market to a place for selling livestock.
Ye Sili lowered the curtain, but heard a noise, and the carriage driven by Qingluo jolted.
"What's the matter?" Ye Sili asked.
Qingluo hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Miss Zhou."
Zhou Jiuer? Ye Sili was a little confused and ordered Qingluo to stop the carriage. She opened the curtain and looked around, and it turned out to be Zhou Jiuer.
The Chengxi Market mostly sells livestock, but there are also many poor families who sell their wives and children here, or slaves who have made mistakes elsewhere and are sold here at low prices.
Ye Sili didn't know much about this, but only heard a few casual conversations in late spring and summer.
"Why did Miss Zhou come here to buy slaves?" Huan Xia asked.
Munchun shook his head and was very puzzled. The Zhou family was a well-known family in Kyoto, and the servants in the mansion were naturally carefully selected and trained. Why did Miss Zhou need to come to the market to select them in person?
"That's all, this is a family matter of the Zhou family, we don't need to get involved." Ye Sili said, Zhou Jiu'er is very narrow-minded, she probably hasn't calmed down from last time, and she is too lazy to meddle in other people's affairs today.
Ye Sili was about to put down the curtain, but noticed that Qing Luo looked wrong. His eyes darkened, and his expression was a bit sad and forbearing.
"Qingluo, what's wrong?" Ye Sili asked softly.
Since returning from hunting, Qingluo has been recuperating in the mansion. Qingluo's injuries are very serious. There are new wounds all over his body covering the old ones. Even after more than ten days of careful nursing, his body bones are still not very strong, and his skin and flesh are just barely strong.
The injury is mostly healed.
Knowing his injuries, Ye Sili's heart ached tightly. He was clearly not much older than Ayou and Jiufeng, but he had suffered so much. This made her recall Ayou when she was young. Thinking about it,
I felt even more distressed.
"Snapped!"
Before Qingluo could answer, a clear sound of whipping came from nearby, followed by a cry for mercy. Along with the sound of begging for mercy, the whip seemed to be struck with more force, falling on the person one after another.
On his body, it seemed that he accidentally knocked over the iron object next to him and fell to the ground with a "crackling" sound.
Ye Sili quickly leaned out to take a look, only to see Zhou Jiuer suddenly surrounded by people. Those people were driven away and threatened by Zhou Jiuer's servants, so they had to watch from a distance and swallowed their anger.
"Is this how she usually beats you?" Ye Sili finally understood Qing Luo's expression just now.
Qingluo tried to stop Ye Sili, "Princess, think twice, Miss Zhou will retaliate, you still..."
Before Qing Luo finished speaking, Ye Sili had already jumped off the carriage.
Zhou Jiu'er's riding whip was longer than ordinary riding whips. At this time, he was raising it high and whipping it down hard. Just as the whip was about to fall, someone snatched it away.
"You are so bold and a slut, how dare you attack me!" Zhou Jiu'er was furious when he saw that his riding crop fell into the hands of someone else. When he saw that the person was Wuchun, he was even more surprised.
