Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 98: Disturbance

In the Ye family, after the Ye Ming Hui brothers left, the Ye family were somewhat silent.

Old madam Ye's health was not good and she had not been able to get out of bed nowadays. Nobody dared to mention this to her. Zhuo-shi and Guan-shi had to force a smile when they took care of old madam Ye so she would not discover any clues. Old madam Ye's health had improved with great difficulty, they must not let this ruin everything.

Pertaining to what Jiang Li said about Tong Zhi Yang's brother-in-law who was a Zhong Guan Ling in Yanjing, aside from letting people be astonished that Jiang Li had a clear memory of what these people do as officials, it didn't interest the Ye family.

But Jiang Li didn't think so. The Li family and Tong Zhi Yang's relationship could be pulled with a Zhong Guan Ling. Such a close relationship, it's very difficult to not let her think more.

It's just that she's afraid the Ye family people would not believe if she mentioned this to the Ye family.

After returning to her courtyard, Jiang Li sat in the room and thought hard.

Tong'er and Bai Xue did not dare to disturb her and quietly retreated outside. Due to Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan's matters, the people under the Ye family were also much more taciturn. The whole residence instantly became more depressed. As if there's an unseen haze shrouding everyone's hearts, making people listless.

As the saying goes, the truth will be seen in trials and tribulations. Although nobody wanted the Ye family to meet with mishap, for Jiang Li, it wasn't necessarily not an opportunity. To melt a block of ice, it's doable to not do anything and just let it melt slowly. But too much time will be spent. Moreover, what she lacked most was precisely time. Supposed this time the Ye family met with mishap, she could exert her capability, and be able to help the Ye family to break out of the crisis, perhaps afterwards, the previous estrangement would, for the most part, disappear.

At that time, with the Ye family, "repairing old relationships" would be an easy matter.

However, at present, the first thing to handle clearly was the thing pertaining to the Ye family's ancient fragrant satin and get to the bottom of the matter as to what actually happened. Jiang Li vaguely smelled a conspiracy. So far, she only suspected that this matter was related to the Right Minister Li family, but there wasn't any evidence.

She could only wait for the two brothers to return to the residence before discussing it.

......

Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan did not return to the house that night.

Not only that, they seemed to have vanished in the following days. At first, Guan-shi and Zhuo-shi were still waiting anxiously in the house. After several days passed by, there wasn't even any news and the two people were unable to hold back. They personally went to the government office to look for Magistrate Tong, wanting to understand clearly what actually happened.

But Magistrate Tong did not meet with Guan-shi, only made the guard by his side to come out and be the spearhead, saying that the eldest master Ye and the second master Ye were staying in the government office as guests. The matters were not yet done, when the matters were completed, they would naturally return home.

Despite Guan-shi's usual smooth handling of things on normal days, she also felt helpless when facing this slick Tong Zhi Yang. She turned around and complained to Zhuo-shi: "I can't even see Tong Zhi Yang! Not to mention asking about the master and the second brother, I see Tong Zhi Yang is clearly being deliberate. He already knew from earlier that I would drop in, so he avoided and did not meet!"
