Chapter 380 There is news

After the two of them had discussed it, Xia Chunyu hurriedly took action and took Manager Zhao out. Ye Jiayao also wrote a letter and asked Song Qi to deliver it to Prince Helian's Mansion.

After finishing all these, Chunfeng brought Xiaoya back.

Xiaoya's face was pale, her willow-shaped eyebrows were tightly knitted, and she looked very painful, but she tried her best to endure it, and she didn't cry, and her eyes were calm. She had never thought of retreating unscathed since she returned to the princess.

She had served the princess since she was a child, and had seen countless palace maids being punished by the princess, some were beaten to death, some were strangled, and there were all kinds of tortures, such as having thin long needles pierced into their internal organs until they died of pain, some were forced to drink boiling water, and some were forced to eat a whole basin of red peppers until they vomited blood and died...

Those were just small mistakes that led to such tragic consequences, let alone betrayal. The princess gave her a mute potion and saved her life, but it was just to show the third young master, to make him feel guilty and suffer.

But... she didn't expect that the Third Young Master would just barge in, kick away the maids who were holding her down, and take her out.

It was tantamount to a complete break with the princess.

Along the way, the Third Young Master held her tightly and kept comforting her: "Don't be afraid, I won't let you die..."

His voice was shaking.

She huddled in his arms, greedily feeling his body temperature and breathing in his scent. Although her throat ached as if it had been filled with boiling water and as if it were being pierced by thousands of steel needles, she didn't care at all. Even if she died at that moment, she would be content.

Until now, she still feels that she is dreaming and that the scene is just an illusion.

Chunfeng said solemnly: "Second sister-in-law, Xiaoya is in your hands."

Ye Jiayao also said solemnly: "She is with me, don't worry."

Even if Chunfeng wasn't the factor, just because Xiaoya was willing to reveal the information to her that day, she would not sit idly by.

Chunfeng looked at Xiaoya worriedly, his eyes full of concern: "Don't worry, just recover here. The doctor said there is still hope."

Xiaoya forced a smile and nodded.

She was not worried at all. It didn't matter if she became mute. She would be willing to die if the Third Young Master cared about her so much.

She knows herself well and she doesn't have any fantasies. Really, just like this, it's more than enough.

Ye Jiayao asked: "What are you going to do? Are you going back?"

Chunfeng's face was resolute: "I have to go back. I can always keep an eye on her when I'm in the mansion, and she can't do whatever she wants."

"Okay, but you still have to stay calm. A little impatience can ruin a big plan." Ye Jiayao reminded.

No matter how much he hates Liuli now, he cannot act rashly before finding Cui Yan and eliminating the hidden dangers.

Liuli has a special identity, so even if she needs to be dealt with, it can only be done by the royal family.

Chun Feng pursed his lips tightly, was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "I will."

After seeing Chunfeng off, Ye Jiayao personally took Xiaoya to the side courtyard to rest, and asked Ye Xue to take good care of Xiaoya.

Xiaoya wanted to say something to express her gratitude, but she couldn't. She had helped the princess deal with the Second Young Madam and had given many bad ideas. Now, the Second Young Madam not only forgave her, but also took her in. She felt very ashamed.

Ye Jiayao understood the meaning in her eyes, smiled and said, "Let the past be the past, and you can stay with me peacefully from now on."

She wouldn't say much until Chunfeng spoke himself. She just had to take good care of the person.

Song Qi came back very quickly and said that Princess Yi De would enter the palace early the next morning.

Chun Yu came back more than an hour later. Jiu Ye agreed very readily and immediately ordered his men to ask around. He also used his connections in the fiefdom to find out as soon as possible.

The two were a little tired after being busy for so long, so they washed up and rested.

Xia Chunyu hugged Ye Jiayao, stroking her hair from time to time, and sighed, "I had said that I would accompany you to the south at this time to travel along the way, but in the end, we didn't go anywhere, not even to Zhenjiang, and we had to deal with so many stressful things. It was exhausting."

Ye Jiayao rested her head in his arms and said quietly, "It's not your fault. Plans can't keep up with changes. No one expected the Queen Mother to pass away suddenly."

Xia Chunyu smiled bitterly: "I think I made a mistake at the beginning. If I had used my own ability to dispel the Queen Mother and the Emperor's idea of ​​granting marriage, maybe Liuli would not hate you."

"Forget it. As long as you propose to cancel the engagement, no matter who you marry in the future, Liuli will hate that person. She is so proud and arrogant that she cannot stand any grievance. She will take revenge for any slight. What's more, I have offended her before."

What Ye Jiayao said was the truth. No matter whether Chunyu was with her or not, Liuli would hate her. She and Liuli were destined to be enemies. The relationship was irreconcilable and could not be resolved. Only one side would fall completely.

Xia Chunyu remained silent, unable to understand how there could be such a paranoid person in this world, so obsessed with hatred that the fire of hatred burned others as well as himself.

"Go to sleep and don't think too much. Maybe there will be good news tomorrow." Ye Jiayao sensed his low mood and comforted him.

The next day, news came from Yi De.

The two most suspicious people are Fang Mama, who loves Liuli very much. Last time, Chunfeng kicked her and broke her ribs. After she recovered, the empress dowager let her leave the palace to recuperate. Her address is still being investigated. She moved out of her original residence more than a month ago, and no one knows where she moved to. Another one is Lu Mama, who also loves Liuli very much. She left the palace three years ago. It is said that she is from Suzhou and went back to Suzhou to recuperate.

Ye Jiayao thought that Qiao released Cuiyan during the period when she disappeared, which was two months ago. Nanny Fang suddenly moved more than a month ago, which was very suspicious. Ye Jiayao was almost certain that the person was hiding at Nanny Fang's place.

Then if we find Nanny Fang, we will definitely be able to find Cui Yan.

The goal suddenly became clear.

Ye Jiayao immediately gained confidence and wrote back, asking Princess Yi De to find out which relatives or good sisters Nanny Fang had. At the same time, she sent Song Qi to the place where Nanny Fang used to live to inquire to see if she could find some clues.

At noon, Song Qi came back excitedly and said that Nanny Fang’s neighbors said that two months ago, a relative of Nanny Fang came to see her and stayed at Nanny Fang’s house for a while. According to the neighbors’ description, the relative looked like Cui Yan.

Ye Jiayao was shocked. Great, the idea was right. Then the next step was to find Nanny Fang.

In the afternoon, Yi De received another news that Nanny Fang had an older brother, but he died of illness a few years ago, leaving behind a nephew in Yangzhou. Nanny Fang's older brother was named Fang Zhiyu, and she told this to her old sisters herself.

In Yangzhou? That's easy. Just leave it to Ye Binghuai. As the co-magistrate of Yangzhou, it's a piece of cake for him to find someone. Of course, it's not ruled out that Nanny Fang is still in Jinling, renting a small house to hide.

Ye Jiayao made a series of arrangements in this way. When Master Jiu was looking for someone, he asked them to look for someone based on Nanny Fang's features and appearance. Cui Yan would definitely not show up.

Before dinner, Ye Jiayao went to see Youshi.

Yu's complexion was even worse than yesterday. Mother Sun quietly told her that Yu had not slept the whole night.

Ye Jiayao was worried. How could this be possible?

Originally, she didn't want to tell people about the progress of the search for Cui Yan in advance, wanting to wait until she was found. She liked to talk about it after things were settled, to avoid any mistakes that would make people think she was bragging. But for An Youshi's sake, Ye Jiayao had to report the truth.

"Mother, we have found out Cui Yan's whereabouts."

You was surprised: "Really?"

"Well, I suspect Liuli handed the person over to Aunt Fang. Aunt Fang suddenly moved more than a month ago, and the neighbors said they saw Cuiyan."

The joy on You's face slowly faded, and she said regretfully, "She moved... How can we find her? Jinling City is so big, and we can't mobilize a large force to look for her openly. What if she leaves Jinling, then there will be no place to find her in the vast world."

"Mother, it's actually not that difficult to find someone in Jinling City. There are obvious ways and covert ways. Even if they leave Jinling, where can Nanny Fang go with a pregnant woman? They must be seeking refuge with relatives. Now her relatives have been found, so there's no need to worry about not being able to find her. It's just a matter of time."

Yu Shi felt relieved upon hearing this and sighed, "Jinxuan, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise..."

"Mother, you are being too polite. You have handed over the household affairs to your daughter-in-law, and she will do her best. But you, mother, should recover as soon as possible, otherwise, no one will feel at ease."

Yu Shi thought about it and realized that she was sick now and couldn't do anything. It was useless to worry, and it would only make her children feel uneasy.

"By the way, I heard that Chunfeng settled Xiaoya in his mansion?" asked Youshi.

Ye Jiayao said: "Well, I asked Chunfeng to bring Xiaoya here. Xiaoya was slightly injured, but fortunately it's not serious."

Yu Shi looked confused and said quietly, "Xiao Ya was taken out on. This child used to be blindly loyal, but now she is affectionate and caring. You should take good care of her."

"My wife will."

At the exact moment, the two brothers Chunyu and Chunfeng came back together.

Ye Jiayao told them about the progress again. They were both quite excited. They didn’t expect that there would be some progress in just one day.

"How's Liuli doing?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Chunfeng really didn't want to mention this person, but he had to.

"She had a fight with me last night and I ignored her."

Yes, Liuli was like a madman last night. If he hadn't thought of his second sister-in-law's warning, he would have wanted to slap Liuli a few times on the spot, but he had to hold back.

"I'll send someone to keep an eye on her now. If there's any movement in the mansion, I'll know immediately." Chunfeng said.

Chunyu nodded: "I think we should ask Jiu Ye to send a few people to keep an eye on Liuli. I am worried about the people on your side."

Chunfeng said gloomily, "Second brother, you underestimate me too much. I have already made arrangements for the palace. Xiaoya is not the only one who has spies."

Ye Jiayao glared at Chunyu. This kind of thing should be handled in private. There is no need to say it in front of Chunfeng. Chunfeng is suffering from setbacks now, and you are still trying to attack him.

Chunyu touched his nose and stopped talking.

"Second sister-in-law, where is Xiaoya? Is her throat better?" Chunfeng began to care about Xiaoya again.
