286 Doubt
Ye Xinyi was already asleep in the dark lamp tent, but Chen Yue opened his eyes and looked at her sleeping face, without any sleepiness. His lacquer eyes were calm and dark.
Is it really just a coincidence? In the box in his study, there was a random paper. It was the list of Gu Huan's love and evil that Xiang Si listed for him when she came to see him for the last time.
Although Chen Yue only took a few glances and locked it in the box, and never looked at it, those words always suddenly came to my mind at some point. Gu Huan doesn't like sweetness and likes to eat crispy, salty and fragrant pastries, and the same goes for Ye Xinyi. Gu Huan likes to use slingshots, and she is used to holding the bow with her right hand and pulling the strings with her left hand, which is somewhat different from others. Therefore, her slingshot is also somewhat different from those used by others. The slingshot that Ye Xinyi picked up today has the differences in the subtleties, which are used by people who are used to holding the bow with their right hand and pulling the strings with their left hand.
Of course, these two things cannot mean anything. But are you afraid of cats? You are afraid of being like that. I am afraid that there will be many people in this world, right?
Why is Ye Xinyi so afraid of cats? She said she doesn't remember it. However, he knows why Gu Huan is so afraid of cats.
Xiangsi once said that that year, Gu Huan was only five years old, and her temperament was completely different from that of her later. She was cowardly and timid. However, because of her outstanding appearance, Yuxue was cute and even in the Gu family. Therefore, her two half-sisters were particularly disliked. In addition, her weak temperament was so common that being bullied was common.
Then, Gu Yi and Gu Xin tricked her into an abandoned side courtyard and locked her up. Two wild cats who had been hungry for many days were placed in the room at the same time. It was said that rabbits were anxious and wanted to bite people, let alone cats. Moreover, Gu Huan had just been splashed in front of him by a pot of fish-raising water, and the smell of fish was stained with fish. Chen Yue had seen a hungry cat pounce on him and bite a strong man. His claws were no worse than those of a ferocious beast. However, his strength was too great. When the strong man threw it away, he was still caught by the cat.
However, he was a strong man, and Gu Huan at that time was just a five-year-old girl.
How could she be the rival of two hungry cats?
No one knows how she spent that night.
I only knew that when I found her, she had fainted in the abandoned house, and there were two bloody corpses of wild cats lying beside her. There were traces of being bitten by the wild cat on her body and limbs, and there were several places, even deep and visible bones. There was also one on her face, but it was a blessing that it was behind her ears.
Moreover, the cat's minions were not clean, and she was very scared. After being brought back, she had a high fever and was unconscious. Others thought she was helpless, but she survived it. However, since then, her temperament has changed and she is not as cowardly as before. If Gu Yi and Gu Xin wanted to bully her, she would bully her back hard, double the kind. Even if she was punished later or even beaten by her father, she would still be the same. Moreover, except Linlang, no one knew that since that night, she had a problem, which was that she was afraid of cats.
It’s not ordinary fear. Even if you hear the cat’s meow, your whole body will be stiff, your hands and feet will be out of control, your face will be pale, and your body will be cold and sweat, just like a serious illness.
It's similar to Ye Xinyi's symptoms just now.
Since it was a secret, only Linlang in this world, except for Linlang, he knew. If Ye Xinyi was the little girl four years ago, he had suspected that she had a relationship with Gu Huan, but now he was also suspicious. At that time, she knew that Xiangsi had a reaction when she died. Now she thought about it, wasn’t it too strong? However, Xiangsi was sure that she didn’t know her, and he knew the relationship around her. She had no ties with Gu Huan, the Gu family in General Mingwei’s house. It was obviously impossible... Then, why?
What is the connection between her and Gu Huan?
Chen Yue raised his hand, gently pushed her hair away, and looked at her white earlobe carefully. There was no cinnabar mole there, but there was a little light mark, which was only slightly lighter than the skin tone. It was a scar and very inconspicuous. If you didn't look at it carefully, you would never notice it.
It's so obvious that it's so obvious... Chen Yue's eyes are as deep as the dark sea.
Ye Xinyi didn't know the entanglement in Chen Yue's heart at all, so he slept very peacefully in the second half of the night. When he woke up, it was already midnight and Chen Yue had already gone to the North Town Fushi.
Ye Xinyi got up as usual, washed up, and had breakfast.
But Chang'an came to ask for a meeting.
"Madam, a few days ago, the younger one accidentally heard Sister Liu Lu talk to his wife, saying that she wanted to find two relatives for the adults. Just so, the younger one had a cousin who had been in the world earlier and followed the escort agency. His kung fu was pretty good and he was the most honest. Therefore, the younger one thought to ask his wife to give her a chance to give her a meal to her." Chang'an smiled and said beautifully as before.
Ye Xinyi seemed to have not expected that Chang'an came for this matter, and she looked a little surprised. After looking at Liu Lu, she smiled and raised her hand, making Chang'an spare her.
"It turns out that it's for this matter. I mentioned this matter to the adults, and he thought it was good. However, this person is following the adults, and I can't decide. So, I mentioned it to the adults. If the adults agree, I will reply to you again. If you bring your cousin to show you, you must be favored by the adults. As for loyalty and honesty, I will be at ease with you if you recommend it."
Ye Xinyi spoke kindly, and Chang'an was happy to hear it. He said loudly, and then said, "I'm sorry, my wife is troubled", and then bowed down.
Ye Xinyi's smile on his face faded, and he turned to Liu Lu to look at him. After sprinkling the bait for a long time, the fish finally took the bait.
When Chen Yue came back from the yamen, Ye Xinyi personally went to the courtyard gate to pick him up and talked about this in front of Chang'an.
Chen Yue looked at Chang'an. He usually valued him, so he naturally would not refute his face. He nodded and asked Chang'an to bring his cousin here in two days while he was resting.
Chang'an was naturally overjoyed and responded in a hurry.
On the second day, Chen Yue had a rare time and took a free time to come back to have lunch with Ye Xinyi.
The dish was just put on the table, but the uncle Cai came to report that someone came to the palace.
The person who came was the cicada who was serving Princess Zhaoning. She also brought some gifts, saying that it was rewarded by the imperial concubine.
What Concubine Xie showed in front of others was that she liked Ye Xinyi. She even took Ye Xinyi into the palace to accompany her for so many days when she was sick. Regardless of whether it was true or not, she wanted to reward things, but it was not so eye-catching.
It is only for what the gift is, both the gift givers and the gift recipients know it well.
Ye Xinyi was afraid that if she didn't accept it, Concubine Xie would think that her goal was bigger. Therefore, after thanking her, Aunt Cai and Liu Lu accepted the gift.
