268 Threat

Liu Lu sighed, "Isn't it for the sake of the adults and the wife? They don't make peace this day. What good things can we eat when we serve you?"

"Sir and Madam?" Chang'an frowned in confusion, "Didn't you all go home?"

"Just go back home?" Liu Lu sneered, "You don't know that the adult treats his wife now as usual. He scolded her in the main room just now. After the adult left, the wife cried for a while, but it was still my aunt and I who took a lot of time to persuade her. Didn't you say that the adults were in a bad mood?"

Chang'an suddenly realized, "It turned out to be because of this." Then, he became anxious again, "This...didn't this adult treat his wife very well before? Why did he suddenly..."

"What's sudden? I saw the last time, and I was afraid that there was still a knot in my heart. Alas! This is not something that we servants can manage. Forget it, go back and rest!" Liu Lu frowned, waved his hand, and walked out first.

Taohong made a gesture towards Chang'an, pushed Chang'an out of the kitchen door, turned off the candlelight, and then went out and locked the kitchen door. She gave Chang'an two more gestures, followed Liu Lu and left.

Behind the two, Chang'an was chewing steamed buns, but his eyes were shining.

The next morning, before dawn, Shen Yue went to the yamen again. This time, no one even sent someone to say something to Ye Xinyi.

When Ye Xinyi got up, his expression was a little depressed. Liu Lu and Aunt Cai looked at each other. Liu Lu helped Ye Xinyi dress up and said, "Madam, you have made a lot of clothes for the adults before, but you forgot about yourself. The weather is very good today. I heard that the silk shop on Qianmen Street has newly entered a lot of the most time-to-lasting materials in Jiangnan. It's okay to stay in the mansion. Why don't we go to Qianmen Street to relax?"

Ye Xinyi was not very concerned about these food, clothing and food. When Liu Lu made this suggestion, she was a little worried, afraid that his wife would not agree to it, and she would be scolded. When she saw Ye Xinyi frowning, her heart tightened up.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xinyi frowned and thought for a moment, but his brows suddenly loosened and even smiled slightly, "Okay! Your adult's salary is useless on weekdays, so let's go and help him use it." The smile and the expression of Yinya's secret biting, Liu Lu and Aunt Cai both felt a chill of their adult's neck.

After breakfast, Ye Xinyi really took Liu Lu out, and the one who drove was Chang'an.

Spring is flourishing, and Qianmen Street is really lively.

The carriage stopped at the intersection. Ye Xinyi told Chang'an to drive the carriage to the street and wait, and then took Liu Lu to walk into Qianmen Street.

Ye Xinyi came today for spending money, so he took Liu Lu to the largest silk and satin farm on Qianmen Street. There were indeed a lot of new fabrics in the silk and satin farm, with fresh colors and fine workmanship. Ye Xinyi took a lot of favourites. According to his daily habits, he might not be willing to buy them, but today he was cruel and ordered a lot.

When the shopkeeper of the silk shop saw that he was a big customer. He smiled so hard that he couldn't stop and greeted him in person. Ye Xinyi still felt that it was not enough and asked Liu Lu to go with the silk shop guys, and move the selected materials to the carriage at the intersection of the street before coming back. The two of them continued to stroll.

I bought silk and satin, isn’t it even less than gold and silver jewelry, rouge and powder?

Liu Lu dared not object, so she took the guys away with the fabric.

The shopkeeper diligently invited Ye Xinyi to sit behind him, and even served tea fruit. He accused him of guilt and said that he wanted a friend to take care of him, so he went to busy greet the other guests.

The business of this silk shop is really booming.

The place where Ye Xinyi sat was unique behind him, but it was quiet. With a half-open window, you could see the small courtyard behind the silk shop. Although the yard was small, it was still well-organized. There was a peach tree by the window. Although it had passed the flowers, it was full of greenery, which looked gratifying.

Hearing a faint sound around him, Ye Xinyi held his head with one hand and the tea bowl with the other, and said without looking back, "You are busy with business, just go to entertain others. I don't need anyone to serve you here. I'll sit here alone, and wait for my girl to come back and leave."

"Mrs. Chen is really leisurely. It's time to drink tea here leisurely." A cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Ye Xinyi was startled and suddenly turned around and saw a person standing beside him. He was of medium height, medium figure, and an ordinary dress. Even the raised face was thrown into the crowd and could not be found. However, even if the body was restrained, the cold murderous aura that could not be hidden was still unusual.

Ye Xinyi's eyes were calm and he sneered, "You are really anxious when you chase me here."

"We are anxious, so Mrs. Chen naturally has to worry. Otherwise, when our hall master comes to remind Mrs. Chen in person, Mrs. Chen will naturally suffer."

There was a shady threat in these words.

Ye Xinyi couldn't understand it, but because he understood it, he was even more angry, "It's not that I'm not in a hurry. Didn't I go back to my mother's house after listening to you and coax Chen Yue home? But, as soon as I mentioned the topic, he scolded me and rested in the study all night. What can I do?"

"What's more, I don't even know what you want to ask."

The man was silent for a while, probably knowing that Ye Xinyi was not lying. After pondering for a moment, he briefly told the matter, "Five days ago, Dali Temple cracked a case and searched a workshop, and found a latest gun barrel drawing from the Ministry of Works. The court suspected that someone secretly communicated with the enemy country. The emperor was furious and ordered the Jinyiwei to investigate. All officials of the Ministry of Works were suspended and temporarily placed under house arrest. The Dongchang and Jinyiwei were ordered to supervise the investigation. This investigation found the head of Zhang Xu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works. Now, Zhang Xu and Zhang's family have been taken to the imperial prison."

"Mr. Zhang... is yours?" Ye Xinyi raised his eyebrows slightly invisibly.

The man frowned and his voice became cold and hard, "This is not a problem for Mrs. Chen. This time, the emperor assigned the presiding of the imperial prison torture was personally appointed by the emperor, and it was Lord Shen. Earlier, we had never troubled Mrs. Chen. This time, Mrs. Chen always had to show some sincerity to help us explore. What did the people in the imperial prison call?"

Ye Xinyi's eyebrows were tighter, "Don't say that my family's parents are clear about their private affairs, I'm afraid they can't help you even if I have a relationship with him now. You are so powerful that no matter how thick the wall of the imperial prison is, it's afraid that it can't stop you from entering. Why do you have to rely on me?"
