e steps in total. She climbed with great difficulty.That flash of red was too striking to ignore. I turned back to her and said, "Can't you just come out openly Why are you acting like a thief"She was...Quan Qing hua stood a few steps away from them, then nodded slightly to Ye Wen.

"I was just coincidentally passing by," Ye Wenyan replied, opening his mouth and asking: "Coincidentally Don't tell me you were also coincidentally here." 。" Quinn shook his head, "I wasn't just a chance encounter. I came for that child." 。To be frank, ever since the last time, I've been keeping an eye on this place. The murders happened yesterday, and I sent someone to the scene. Those two people died terribly. 。The woman was beaten to death with a blunt force to her skull. The man had his throat slashed, and blood splattered all over the room. 。At that time, the little boy was inside the house and witnessed everything with his own eyes. He even went forward to try to cover the wound on his father's neck, but blood splashed all over his face, making him look like a ghost. 。I arrived at the outer city early in the morning and went to the government office set up in the outer city of Lin'an Prefecture. 。Because the case was simple and the perpetrator had already died, there was nothing much to investigate. They just let the man's brother take the body back, signed and sealed it, and the case was closed. 。The woman was not claimed by anyone, her family was not in Lin'an. The man's family refused to take her back, and even at the yamen, her brother said he would send the woman out of the house, and if she died, she wouldn't be buried in their ancestral tomb. 。So the female corpse remained in the yamen, and the officials were helpless. Thinking that if there was no other way, they would have to deal with it as an unidentified body. 。Later, it was this King who showed them the way, letting them carry the woman's corpse to find the men she had relations with in life. 。Then, one by one, we'll gather them all together and publicly acknowledge their presence. 。If someone claimed the body, they could take it away. If no one claimed it, then the body would be dismembered according to the number of men present, with each man getting a piece. No one could refuse. 。"Junior sister, don't you think my idea is fantastic" Ye Wenyan frowned and didn't say anything. Ye Chulian's face turned pale. 。Even though she liked the Fourth Prince deep down, she didn't dare to look at him now. 。To think someone could utter such words... they must be incredibly cruel. It's as if a terrible monster resides within a seemingly ordinary shell. 。If he hides well, he remains calm and collected; if he doesn't hide well, monsters will eat people. 。The weather in April actually made her shiver all over, one after another, she couldn't control it at all. 。

As if on cue, Quan Qinghua asked, “Fifth Miss, are you afraid”

Ye Wenyan squeezed her hand, and Ye Chulian felt a warm wave envelop her. The chill vanished instantly, and her body stopped trembling. She still didn’t dare to look at Quan Qinghua, nor did she dare to answer his question.

Yè Wēn Yán was very helpless, “My fifth younger sister is timid, why do you have to scare her like that” Quán Qīng Huà smiled and bowed to Yè Chǔ Lián, “Fifth Miss, I’m sorry” 。" Night Chulian calmed her emotions and replied politely, calling out: "Fourth Highness" 。Then he said nothing. 。Ye Wen asked Quan Qinghua, "Since the Fourth Prince has already disposed of that woman's body, what brings him here now" Quan Qinghua didn't hide anything from her: "I came to ask the child if he wants to come with me. If he agrees, I will take him in, either as a companion or a servant boy, and raise him." 。“Why” she asked, puzzled. “You’ve never met him before, you have no family ties, why would you raise him”Quan Qinghua smiled wryly. “Even if it’s fate! Taking him in is better than being abandoned by my family and left with nothing.” 。At his age, if he were homeless, there would be little hope for his life. 。Don't worry, little sister. I won't force him into slavery. Consider it a good deed, a kindness on my part. I hope that when he grows up, he can live like an ordinary person and not be like me. 。"

Ye Wen turned her head to look back at the small courtyard. She didn't know if the child would be willing to leave with Quan Qinghua, but just like Quan Qinghua said, having someone to rely on was always better than being driven out by relatives and having to wander the streets. "> 。The child's state just now gave her a bad feeling, it wasn't like something a kid should be. 。Whether it was the sight of his parents' death that scared him, or if he truly understood why his father killed his mother... 。She hoped she was the first kind, that way perhaps she could still console herself and there was still hope. 。If it's the second kind, I'm afraid that many years later, it will probably become another type of popular art. 。"As for my fellow disciple's matters, he is the one who makes the decisions. As for that child, I barely know him, so there's no need for me to thank you on his behalf." 。I just hope that my senior brother can get more sunshine. The sun will dispel the gloom in one's heart. Maybe as he basks in it, some things that used to seem important might lose their significance with time. 。"Okay," said Quan Qing, nodding. 。After finishing his words, he was about to walk into the courtyard. As he reached the entrance, he remembered something and turned back to Ye Wenyan, saying, “Princess Zhaolian wrote a letter. The compensation from Guiyue Country is on its way, and she’s returning with it.” 。Let me tell you, when she is about to arrive in Lin'an, please be sure to go out of the city yourself to greet her. This will show how much you value her. 。"Ye Wen listened and laughed, casually throwing out a sentence: "You're overthinking it!" Then he got on the carriage with his people. 。Quanqinghua watched the carriage drive away, and also smiled, but only smiled for a moment before she froze. 。He thought he was laughing at Ye Wen's words, calling it self-deception and insincerity. But it turned out he was laughing at the news that Gu Yue County Lord was coming to Lin'an again. 。Even after ten years, the girl who always wore a thin red silk skirt even in winter, began to miss him a little after he had been away for almost half a year. 。Originally, even in the hell-like scene of returning to the moon, there was still someone who existed like a redemption. Even after many years, he would still blossom into a red lotus in his eyes and heart, making him unable to escape. 。He tilted his head back. The sun at this hour was no longer as harsh as it had been at midday, but it still dazzled. 。Ye Wen said, being bathed in sunlight would dispel the gloom. 。Perhaps! But his shadow has been rooted in my heart for too long, it's hard to remove. 。So he wanted to take the child away, to live in the sunshine from now on. Perhaps in a few years, what should be forgotten would truly be forgotten, and what shouldn't be forgotten wouldn't matter anymore. 。He was powerless to save himself, all he could do was try to save the child. 。There are few people in the world like him, it is a blessing. 。On the way back in the carriage, Ye Chu Lian kept her brow furrowed, thinking hard about something. 。Yetang also didn't disturb her proactively until the carriage stopped at the General's Mansion. He only then heard Yechulian say, "Sister, what kind of person is he Is he good or bad Why does someone who looks so calm and collected say such things And why did he argue with you last time and then take me as a hostage"Although he didn't do anything to harm me, I just know that at the time, he used all his cultivation to suppress his anger and maintain his facade. In reality, he was already on the verge of exploding. 。At that moment, I really wanted to ask him what had happened. But I also knew there were some things I wasn't qualified to ask about. 。He and I were nothing more than acquaintances who had only met because of my elder sister and uncle. Besides, at the time, I was still a mere individual... 。But what he said today was too terrible. Although he had also sent his attendants to tell my father before, wanting to exchange me for my second brother's hand... 。But I always felt he was just letting off steam, saying things in the heat of the moment. 。Today, he made me feel like he really meant what he said. Even officials would listen to him and truly follow his orders. 。This is too scary, not like something he would do. 。"

Ye Wenyan tilted her head to look at her, after a while he smiled, then said: "So what do you think, what kind of person should he be Should he be as calm and collected as the clouds in the sky Chu Lian, people's appearances are only how they appear on the surface, it doesn't mean that they are actually like that>>> 。People often say that ears hear falsehoods while eyes see the truth, but sometimes even what you see with your own eyes may not always be true. 。You yourself said that you and the Fourth Prince are only slightly acquainted. How could someone who is only slightly acquainted with another person know more about them 。"Don't think too much, I might have sounded a bit serious. It's not that bad. " 。You ask me if he is good or bad. I can only say that relative to us, he is a good person, but relative to others, he may be a bad person. 。Just like the Third Prince, everyone says that the Third Prince is decisive and intimidating, but he's very kind to his second brother, and now he's very kind to us as well. So we can't say he's a bad person. 。Good and bad are all relative. Don't worry about what he has done to others, just look at what he has done to himself. 。Of course, him taking you hostage isn't a good thing either. 。"What kind of personality does he have" Ye Chulian still wanted to know more about that person. 。Ye Wen thought for a moment, then said: "I don't know what kind of personality he has, but there is hatred in his heart, a hatred that has been suppressed for many years." 。Imagine a person living with deep hatred for over ten years. Wouldn't his personality be influenced and change to some extent I once heard Quan Qingcheng say that his fourth older brother was a very sunny young man over a decade ago, frequently visiting him, talking to him, and even buying him fresh things from the market. 。Perhaps that is the true visage of the Fourth Prince, and what we see now is merely a mask he wears after being consumed by hatred. 。But I hope that one day he will be able to take off the mask and let us see the real him. 。"Go back!" she patted Ye Chulian, "Take Sui Xi in first, I'll stay here for a while." 。Now Ye Chu Lian listens to her very well. She does whatever she is told and doesn't ask why. 。Ye Wenyan let her enter the mansion first. She took her belongings and left. Soon, only Ye Wenyan with Zhuier, and Zhou Shang who was already urging his carriage to head towards the back gate remained outside the mansion gates. 。She called out to Zhou Shang, and the carriage stopped. 。Zhou Shang jumped out of the car, and Ye Wenyan also stepped forward two steps. 。She just stood there and watched Zhou Shang. She clearly had many questions she wanted to ask, but at that moment, she didn't know where to begin. 。Zhou Shang was the first to break the silence. She asked Ye Wenyan, "Miss, are you wondering about General's affairs at the border" the Sixth Prince's anger Sixth Prince, you can't stimulate Your Majesty anymore. Your Majesty hasn't slept well these past few days and has been talking nonsense. Don't upset her anymore." 。“While sh...
