Chapter 270 Disappointment
However, Jin Yao must not be allowed to leave now. Instead, she must be kept. If this is a conspiracy among several people, then there must be a back-up plan. She must get evidence to prove her innocence.

It's just too chilling and terrifying.

Her generosity, her letting bygones be bygones, her repeated tolerance, is the result no good reward?
Xia Chunyu was uneasy the whole day.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Yaoyao. He is sure that Yaoyao has not done anything to let him down. What makes him angry is that Yaoyao clearly knows how Lu Xiaotian feels about her, but still doesn’t keep her distance. Does she enjoy the feeling of being loved?
When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it makes people feel sick and want to vomit.

Lu Xiaotian, you dare to covet my woman. Are you tired of living?
He originally wanted to grab Lu Xiaotian and beat him up, but this matter concerned Yaoyao's reputation and the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion after all, so he had to think carefully and listen to Yaoyao's explanation. She would go to confront Lu Xiaotian today to see what tricks he could come up with.

After working absent-mindedly for a whole day, Xia Chunyu left his shift and rushed home as soon as the time came.

Ye Jiayao has also been waiting for Chunyu to come home. She doesn't want to explain anything to him. There is not enough evidence now. He won't believe her even if she explains. He might even think it's an excuse. She just wants to wait for him.

Xia Chunyu walked straight into the house and sat there looking at her in silence.

Ye Jiayao also sat down and looked at him.

When he had no expression on his face, he looked particularly dignified and solemn, with an invisible sense of oppression. Moreover, his eyes were cold and distant, which made Ye Jiayao very sad.

He always said that he would hold up the sky if it collapsed, but he didn't know that, in a sense, he was already her sky, and it was this sky that was about to collapse and put pressure on her.

Wait for Qiao Xi to serve the tea, then leave.

The room was still silent, dead silent.

Xia Chunyu suppressed his anger again and again. Was she just going to remain silent without giving any explanation or statement?
Ye Jiayao thought about it and said, "I asked Lu Xiaotian, and he didn't write anything like that."

"He said he didn't write it, and you believed it?" Xia Chunyu said coldly.

"Yes, I believe him. Although the handwriting is exactly the same as his, I believe him, it was not written by him." Ye Jiayao said sincerely.

Xia Chunyu could no longer suppress her anger, and until now, she was still speaking for Lu Xiaotian.

"It wasn't written by him, it was written by a ghost? Ye Jinxuan, Xiangtao said last night that she was outside the whole time and no one came in. How are you going to explain this?"

Ye Jiayao tried hard to keep herself calm. If she started arguing now, it would only make things worse.

"Xiang Tao admitted today that she went to the toilet during the trip."

"Haha..." Xia Chunyu sneered: "Went to the toilet? What a good excuse! Is going to the toilet something shameful? Why didn't she tell me last night? Ye Jinxuan, if you thought about it for a whole day and night and only came up with this way to solve the problem, then you really disappoint me."

I had expected him to say that, but hearing it now still felt like someone poured a bucket of ice water over me, chilling me to the bone.

"Chun Yu, do you really not trust me?"

Not only was he disappointed, she was also very disappointed! When she was attacked from all sides and needed his support the most, he stabbed her heart again and again.

Has he been blinded by the vinegar?

Is this what is called love? Such a love that cannot stand the test makes people despair just thinking about it...

"I only believe in my eyes." Xia Chunyu suddenly stood up and left.

Ye Jiayao didn't call him, nor did she move, like a frozen statue.

It was still autumn weather, so hot that people would sweat if they moved, but she just felt cold, as if she was in an ice cellar.

Ye Jiayao, be strong and don't cry. The innocent will be innocent. When you have the evidence, give those shady villains a slap in the face and let them know how wrong they are.

Ye Jiayao looked up at the beams of the house and let the tears slowly flow back into her stomach.

This time, she will no longer indulge or tolerate them. Just wait, you gutter bugs!
That night, Xia Chunyu still stayed in the outer study.

After three days, You Shi got the news.

"Could it be that the couple is having a quarrel again?" Yu Shi guessed.

Grandma Sun sighed and said, "The Young Master and the Second Young Madam have always been on good terms and in harmony. I really can't imagine what could have caused them to quarrel to this extent."

You Shi pondered and said, "You go and ask around, so that we can have an idea. However, we should not interfere in their affairs and let them solve it themselves."

Chunyu and Jinxuan are both sensible people. Maybe they are just having a little temper tantrum and it will be fine in a few days. If their elders intervene, it will make things worse.

However, the news that Mother Sun found out surprised Mrs. You.

"What? You said Jinxuan has a man outside?"

Youshi was stunned. The impact of this news on her was like a bolt from the blue.

Madam Sun said, "Everyone in the Second Young Madam's courtyard said that everything was fine, but it was the other people in the mansion who were talking about it. They said that the Second Young Madam was hanging out with men all the time, and that something was wrong."

Youshi shook her head and said, "I don't believe it. Jinxuan is not that kind of person."

Mother Sun said, "I don't believe it either. I'm already investigating where this rumor came from." "Investigate, you must investigate. If you find out who is causing trouble again, I will not let him off easily this time." Yu said angrily.

"Also, the prince is coming back today, ask him to come see me."

Even she doesn't believe it, Chunyu can't be so stupid!
Before Xia Chunyu finished his shift, he got the news that Lu Xiaotian sent someone to the mansion to find Yaoyao, and Yaoyao rushed to meet him. Xia Chunyu immediately asked for leave, and this time he had to make a final decision and teach Lu Xiaotian a profound lesson.

They met at the Chamber of Commerce.

Ye Jiayao hurried over and asked as soon as she saw him, "Any news?"

Lu Xiaotian said seriously: "I found out one thing. Although the man did not admit it, his expression changed when he saw those words."

"who is it?"

"He is a failed scholar in Jinling City. He makes a living by writing letters and petitions for others. However, he has a unique skill. As long as he has seen the handwriting of a person, he can imitate it to the point of being 80% to 90% accurate. If he practices it deliberately, he can make it so realistic that it is indistinguishable from the real thing." Lu Xiaotian said, "I had to search for several people before I found him."

Ye Jiayao's eyes were cold and gloomy: "If you say so, then it must be him. No matter what method I use, I will pry his mouth open."

As long as this person gives out the mastermind, the truth will be revealed. Ye Jiayao was a little excited. After being depressed for several days, she finally saw a glimmer of hope.

Dong Dong Dong, someone knocked on the door.

It was the servant beside Lu Xiaotian who brought in the tea, put it down and then left.

Lu Xiaotian touched the rim of the teacup with his index finger and asked worriedly, "How are you doing now?"

Ye Jiayao pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled bitterly: "I can still hold on."

Lu Xiaotian felt guilty. No matter what, that person imitated his handwriting and caused her so much trouble.

"I asked the people around me, and they didn't find anything suspicious. I didn't see any calligraphy or paintings, letters, or anything like that was missing..." Lu Xiaotian sighed.

Ye Jiayao forced a smile and said, "Without evidence, it's hard to suspect anyone. Just like me, I know who set up the trap, but there's nothing I can do. Everything depends on evidence."

"You know?" Lu Xiaotian was slightly happy.

"Yeah, I basically have an idea." Ye Jiayao nodded and picked up the teacup to take a sip.

Lu Xiaotian said: "I plan to find that person later to prevent him from escaping. If this clue is broken, then it will be hard to explain."

Ye Jiayao nodded and said, "We need to move faster, but can you do it? If you can't do it, I'll do it."

Lu Xiaotian smiled, but a rare ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "It has to be done even if it's impossible. This is about your reputation and my reputation. I will do whatever it takes."

He has always been gentle to others, but that doesn't mean he is heartless. Using his own hands to harm Ye Jinxuan is the thing he cannot tolerate the most.

"How about I go with you?" Ye Jiayao said. This was the most important clue, the breakthrough to uncover the conspiracy, and there couldn't be any mistakes.

Lu Xiaotian said sternly: "You'd better go back early, otherwise Xia Chunyu will be unhappy and suspicious. If it wasn't such an important matter today, I wouldn't dare to ask you to come out."

Song Qi had been watching outside and suddenly noticed that the prince had arrived.

"My Lord, why are you here?"

Xia Chunyu frowned slightly. Why did it sound so strange? Didn't he send someone to tell him to come?

However, what he was concerned about now was the two people inside, and this doubt was quickly ignored by him.

"How long have they been in there?"

Song Qi said, "It's been a while. There's no one else in the Chamber of Commerce right now, and the Second Young Madam only brought Qiao Xi with her."

Xia Chunyu's eyes were blazing with anger. This really looked like a tryst!
"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

Xia Chunyu strode towards the door of the Chamber of Commerce.

All that needed to be said had been said, and Ye Jiayao felt relieved. At least she saw hope, so she stood up to say goodbye. However, as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy.

Lu Xiaotian was shocked, and hurriedly stood up to support her, and asked with concern: "Shopkeeper Ye, how are you?"

Ye Jiayao shook her head, still feeling a little dizzy, and also had a very strange feeling. She could clearly smell his scent, which penetrated into her nostrils, and something in her body seemed to be awakened. A certain desire spread like a wildly growing vine through her limbs and bones. She wanted to get close to him and even wanted to stick her whole body to him.

Something's wrong. It's so wrong. How could it be like this?
Lu Xiaotian's vision also became blurred. The person in front of him seemed to be separated by a layer of water light, so unreal. She was even smiling at him. That smile was indescribably charming and moving. He had always admired her, but could only think about her when it was late at night. Now, she was so close to him, and he was holding her hand. The faint fragrance on her body seemed to be the strongest aphrodisiac, causing a certain part of his body to suddenly become engorged with blood and swell and ache.

Ye Jiayao tried hard to stay clear-headed and pushed him away, but under the reaction force, she staggered a few steps.

Lu Xiaotian instinctively reached out and pulled Ye Jiayao, and she fell into his arms.

At this moment, there was a loud bang and the door was kicked open.
