LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 20 Only One Person
Ye Zhuoyu opened the door and found her, and immediately turned sideways to let her in.
"What's wrong? What's the matter with coming here so late?"
Ye Qingran found a stool and sat down with a relaxed expression: "It's nothing. I just found out why the uncle's family was able to avoid jail."
Hearing this, Ye Zhuoyu was not as calm as her. He sat next to her and frowned slightly: "You mean there is something fishy in it?"
"Yes. Think about it carefully, why after arriving at the county magistrate's side, only the uncle's family was taken away alone to serve them deliciously? And we were imprisoned in prison and ate sour food that was poisoned. Rice. The difference in treatment is obvious."
She snorted coldly, "There is only one person who wants them alive and us dead at the same time."
"You mean... Concubine Xian?"
"Yes, there is someone who can do this and has the power. I can't think of anyone else. Besides, I just went to see my uncle and the others, and I got the words out of Ye Ziqiang's mouth. It was indeed arranged by Concubine Xian."
Ye Zhuoyu's expression became serious.
If it was Concubine Xian, then they couldn't even think of a way to fight back for a while. They could only find a way to survive in such an environment, and then think about how to rely on her control.
He thought of the change in the county magistrate's attitude after Ye Qingran left during the day, and couldn't help but ask: "If you put it this way, how did you get the county magistrate to betray Concubine Xian and obey you?"
Ye Qingran was a little proud, but did not elaborate: "It's just some small tricks. After all, I am studying medicine."
After hearing what she said, he guessed a thing or two in his mind and stopped asking further questions.
"If the county magistrate can listen to you, then can we find a chance to leave here? Can the county magistrate control those officials?"
"Although the county magistrate does not dare to touch us now, it does not mean that we can leave easily. After all, after letting us go, if Concubine Xian finds out about it, the magistrate will still not survive. This matter needs to be considered in the long run. Don't tell my father and mother for the time being. Mother, so they don’t have to worry.”
"Okay, I understand." Ye Zhuoyu nodded in agreement.
As soon as they finished speaking, Ye Qingran turned around and saw the figure printed in the corner of the window, and he guessed who it was after just a moment's thought.
Ye Zhuoyu's room was between her and Ye Qinglian. Ye Qinglian must have heard the knock on the door and ran over to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingran turned up his voice and said: "Now that uncle and the others have found a backer, they may not be prepared to take care of us anymore, and may even hold a grudge against us, and may even want to kill us. Alas, blood relations are nothing more than this. But it hurts the peace a little bit, they actually want to abandon us to survive alone."
When Ye Qinglian outside the window heard this, she immediately frowned, became angry, and went back to the room with a breath.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Ye Qingran said no more, got up and returned to his room.
Early the next morning, she heard a commotion outside the room, as if someone was arguing.
She stretched and finished washing up slowly before opening the door and walking into the yard.
As soon as she raised her head, she saw Ye Qinglian saying angrily: "This is absolutely true. Uncle and the others have already thought of a way, but they refused to help us. Otherwise, how could we let us suffer like that in the cell?" ? Maybe they did those poisoned meals!"
She didn't know the situation at all. She just guessed it after hearing a few words from Ye Qingran last night. But she was sure that it was what she thought, so she woke everyone up early in the morning and told them about it. severity.
Ye Qingran had long known that she was someone who couldn't hide things, so he deliberately let her hear those words.
After hearing her words, everyone in the Ye family had solemn expressions. Ye Guodong couldn't help but say, "Lian'er, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."
"Dad, I'm not talking nonsense, everything I said is true! Otherwise, why would everyone be exiled together, only they could eat and drink in the county government office, but we were locked in a cell and almost poisoned?"
When the second aunt heard these words, she recalled her experience of almost being poisoned to death, and her face turned pale.
But she didn't dare to complain in her heart. If it was true as Ye Qinglian said, then if they wanted to avoid being exiled and live a normal life, they still had to rely on their uncle and the others.Instead of getting angry with them, you might as well think of ways to beg them to help you.
After Ye Qinglian finished speaking, everyone dispersed.
Although they didn't say anything, it was obvious that they had thoughts in their minds. Only Ye Zhuoyu walked up to Ye Qingran and asked, "How did Lian'er know? But what she said was not entirely correct, and the poisoning was not necessarily the case. They did it.”
"Don't worry about her. She eavesdropped on our conversation and guessed those things. It has nothing to do with us. Don't worry, it's just a few words, nothing will happen."
After everyone went back to their rooms, the second aunt slowly walked to the side of the maid with soft legs, asked the uncle's family where they were, and then knocked on their door.
The uncle's family had just heard this morning that the county magistrate had released Ye Qingran and a group of others from their cells and treated them the same way. Just as they were guessing the reason, the second aunt came to their door again.
When he saw her, it was Ye Ziqiang who opened the door. His attitude was not good: "What's the matter?"
"I do have something to talk to your parents about. Can you let me go in and talk to you?"
Ye Ziqiang had long heard what they said that morning, and was angry in his heart: "What are you talking about? Didn't you say that we abandoned you? Why are you here?"
The second aunt felt uncomfortable when he yelled at her like this. I originally wanted to beg them with a face, but I didn't expect that I got scolded before I even opened my mouth.
"Ziqiang, those words were not said by us, but by that girl Ye Qinglian. They have nothing to do with us!"
Before her body recovered, her legs were already weak. She could no longer stand after walking all the way and was about to fall to the ground.
"Let her in."
After all, it was the eldest aunt who spoke and asked Ye Ziqiang to let her in.
"Let's talk if you have anything to say. After that, we have to take a rest."
Although she let people in, it didn't mean that she was willing to tangle with them.I didn’t have much deep feelings in the early days, and the journey from the capital was even more drained.
Seeing that they were about to use their daughter's power to escape, they didn't want to cause any more trouble.
But as luck would have it, the second aunt said what she least wanted to hear: "I know there is a way for you to avoid exile and live in a safe place. I would like to ask if you can take our family away together?"
"No." The uncle immediately refused.
The second aunt looked embarrassed: "You see, we are a family. Ye Qingran's family has caused us trouble, and we are also victims. They can care about life and death, but they can't care about us!"
