Chapter 250 Instigation
Ye Jinrong collapsed immediately. Ye Jiayao tried to pull her back, but couldn't move her. "Someone come quickly..."

Qiao Xi and others rushed in, and everyone helped Ye Jinrong to the bed.

Ye Jinrong's eyes were dull, her pupils were dilated, she didn't breathe for a long time, and her face was frighteningly pale.

Ye Jiayao was so anxious that she pinched her philtrum. Only then did Ye Jinrong breathe a sigh of relief. Tears began to fall like strings of beads as she murmured, "It's over, everything is over..."

"Jinrong, cheer up. If not for yourself, think about the child. Besides, Wei Liujiang's crime is not worthy of death penalty. At most, he will be exiled..."

"That's over, what else can he do? Such a talented and high-spirited person has now become a prisoner. How could this happen? How could he..." Ye Jinrong burst into tears.

How could this happen? Isn't it because of evil intentions? So what if you are talented and ambitious? If your heart is not right, your path will be crooked. Who can you blame?

"It's too late to talk about this now. You should pack up and go back to Yangzhou first. I will tell you if there is any news here."

"I don't want to go. I want to see Liu Jiang. I want to see him..." Jin Rong struggled to get out of bed.

Ye Jiayao held her down, "Jinrong, calm down, okay? In fact, you should have expected this result after the incident, but you just had a glimmer of hope. Now, not to mention that you want to see him, even your brother-in-law can't see him. Before Minister Mu's case is investigated, no one can see Liu Jiang. All you can do is take care of yourself and give birth to the child. Leave the rest to God!"

"Yes, second sister, you were right to listen to your eldest sister. Your eldest brother-in-law really helped with all his heart and came back very late last night." Jin Yao said.

Ye Jiayao felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Jin Yao lived in a side courtyard, and Chunyu never passed by her side when he came in and out. How did she know so much?
Jinrong cried for a while, and slowly accepted the fact. She sobbed and said, "I don't have anything left to pack."

Ye Jiayao looked around and told A Lian: "Take a look and pick up anything valuable."

He added, "As for your mother, she is not here right now and we don't know when she will come back. If the government comes to search, everything will be gone."

Jin Yao said: "Otherwise just pick the lock!"

So, Ye Jiayao asked Jinyao to accompany Jinrong, and she went to find Song Qi to pick the lock.

After the door was opened, Ye Jiayao told Qiao Xi to put away all the gold and silver jewelry, and she searched everywhere, knocking here and there.

Qiao Xi was puzzled. What was the Second Young Madam looking for?
Finally, Ye Jiayao found a secret cabinet behind the statue of Guanyin on the shrine and took out a box.

The box was locked and felt heavy in the hand, but not as heavy as if it were filled with silver.

"Song Qi, open this lock too."

Song Qi responded, knocked it with a hammer, and then pried it with the handle of the hammer, and the lock fell off.

Ye Jiayao opened the box and saw that it was actually a pile of notebooks that looked like account books. She picked up one and flipped through it, and suddenly felt horrified. Every entry on it recorded the amount, name and time of Ye Binghuai's acceptance of bribes. She flipped through it again, and still...

Ning was really terrible. Looking at the time, she had started recording it a long time ago. At that time, Ye Binghuai was still very good to Ning! Ning started to do all this. Did she have foresight? Her every move was recorded by this person beside her. Did Ye Binghuai have nightmares at night?
No wonder the Ning family is so arrogant, so powerful, and so fearless!
Ye Jiayao took out all the booklets, wrapped them in a piece of cloth, and asked Song Qi to take them and put them on the carriage. These things must not be kept anymore.

"Sister, are you done packing?" Jin Yao walked in.

Song Qi quickly kicked the bag under the bed.

Ye Jiayao pointed to some gold and silver jewelry and banknotes and said, "They are all here. Wrap them up with cloth so they won't be too conspicuous."

The Ning family was quite well-off. The deposit slips from the Datonghui Money House alone amounted to more than 100,000 taels of silver, and they also had miscellaneous items, which added up to more than 200,000 taels.

"Is your second sister's place ready?"

Jin Yao said, "I've finished dressing up and have almost packed my things."

"Tell the servants to prepare the carriage and go directly to the dock." Ye Jiayao said.

Ye Jiayao sent Ye Jinrong to the dock, bought her some food for the journey, and told A Lian and others to take good care of her. The boat would not leave for another half an hour, so Ye Jiayao went back first.

On the way, Ye Jiayao was holding the stack of books, speechless. Ye Binghuai was such a scumbag, a scumbag to the extreme, and this scumbag happened to be her father.

Ye Jinrong sat on the boat in a daze, her heart was filled with confusion and she saw no hope.

She originally thought that even if Liu Jiang did not pursue a career in politics and could do something else, as long as the two of them were together, she would be satisfied. However, disaster struck and her world was turned upside down overnight, and even her last bit of hope was shattered.

"Madam, someone is looking for you outside?" A Lian came in to report.

Ye Jinrong's heart trembled: "Who? Is it the government?" At this moment, she was like a frightened bird, and she was afraid at the slightest sign of trouble.

"No, it's a lady." A Lian said, "Look at her clothes, she is very gorgeous."

Ye Jinrong was confused and uncertain. Who could be looking for her? Moreover, she left suddenly. Who would know her whereabouts?

"Is Miss Ye willing to leave like this?" A slightly sarcastic voice sounded, and then a pretty figure walked in.

Ye Jinrong was shocked. She could never have imagined that the person coming would be her.

He hurriedly stood up to salute, but his body felt heavy and his movements were slow.

"No need, I just came to talk to you." Liuli sat down leisurely.

Ye Jinrong was nervous, not knowing what the purpose of her visit was.

"Alian, you go out first." Ye Jinrong ordered.

"Princess, are you here to laugh at me?" Ye Jinrong said self-deprecatingly.

Liuli smiled and said, "Look at you making fun of me? This princess doesn't have the leisure time to do that."

Ye Jinrong bit her lip, silently waiting for Liuli's next words.

"I came here today to make a deal with you."

"What deal?" Ye Jinrong felt like she was listening to a joke. What capital did she have to trade now?
Liuli said slowly: "I will help you save Wei Liujiang, and you need to help me do something."

Ye Jinrong's eyes, which had been as silent as death, suddenly lit up: "Princess, are you serious?"

Liuli smiled calmly: "Do you think I'm joking?"

Ye Jinrong slowly knelt down and said resolutely: "If the princess can really save Liujiang, I am willing to do anything the princess asks me to do."

Liuli smiled and said, "Get up, you are pregnant."

Seeing Ye Jinrong’s big belly, Liuli felt a pang of pain in her heart. If her child was still there, her belly should be this big in two months!
"When you came to the Marquis' Mansion yesterday, I learned that something happened in your family. However, you are so naive. You could ask anyone else for help, but you went to ask Ye Jinxuan. She hates you to the core, so how could she help you?" Liuli sneered.

Ye Jinrong hesitated and said, "She is my elder sister after all, and I have nowhere else to go."

Liuli sneered: "You still think of her as your eldest sister, but she definitely doesn't think of you as her second sister. In fact, Wei Liujiang's matter is not without room for maneuver. If Xia Chunyu is willing to help with all his heart, oh, no, I should say, if Ye Jinrong is willing to help you, then with Xia Chunyu's ability, he can definitely help."

"But, my eldest sister said that Liu Jiang has confessed."

"He has confessed but there is no final verdict. Even if the government has made a verdict, there is still the Ministry of Justice. As long as there is a will, there is a possibility of overturning the case. The simplest way is to put all the blame on Minister Mu and just say that he was following orders. In this way, the government will sentence him with a much lighter crime."

"But Minister Mu is his uncle and he takes good care of us. This... isn't a good idea!" Ye Jinrong still had some conscience.

“Hehehe…” Liuli laughed for a while and said, “Do you think Minister Mu would care about this one more sin? His problems are so serious that one more or one less will not make any difference.”

Ye Jinrong was moved: "But my elder sister said that no one can see Liu Jiang now, so there is no way to communicate with him."

Liuli looked at her with a smile that showed a bit of pity: "It's a pity that you are a woman, and there is no one around you who can give you advice. You are being played around by your elder sister."

Ye Jinrong's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

Liuli said: "Isn't what I said clear enough? She didn't really want to help you. She sent you away early so that you wouldn't have to bother her again. She really wanted Wei Liujiang to be sentenced to death!"

Ye Jinrong bit her lips even tighter. Is that so? Is the elder sister lying to her?
"Think about it, Wei Liujiang was originally her husband, but you took him away from her, and almost caused her death in Black Wind Hill. How could she swallow this? The reason why you are in this situation is all thanks to her. If she hadn't been so persistent and begged Xia Chunyu to avenge her, Wei Liujiang's future would not have been ruined. With his talent and strength, it is entirely possible for him to enter the top three. That would be a different scene..." Liuli said.

The hatred that Ye Jinrong had suppressed surged up again. Yes, if her elder sister had not been so cruel and refused to show leniency, how could she and Liu Jiang have come to this point?
"Don't underestimate your elder sister, she is a powerful character, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Not to mention that you can't beat her, even I have suffered losses from her time and time again. You must understand that as long as Ye Jinxuan is in power, you and Wei Liujiang will never be able to turn the tables. Only if we work together can we get back 10%." Liuli knew that she had successfully aroused Ye Jinrong's hatred.

Ye Jinrong raised her eyes, her expression clear and resolute: "Princess, I will do whatever you say."

Liuli smiled slightly: "No hurry, you go back to Yangzhou first and give birth to the child, and then come over when I have everything planned out. During this period, you'd better keep in touch with her and be more intimate with her, so that she thinks you are really reconciled with her."
