"Mom and Dad haven't been buried yet, we have to bury them."

"And Xiaoshan, mom loves him the most, but he has a lot of bad habits. We have to bury him next to mom and dad, otherwise he will get into trouble over there and no one will help him."

Lian'er, who looked like a dead person, now had tears streaming down her face.

She first shed silent tears, then slowly began to sob, and finally she couldn't help but throw herself into Ye Hai's arms and burst into tears.

Ye Hai had a steamed bun in his mouth, tears streaming down his face like crazy. He didn't dare to cry out loud, but his whole body was shaking.

On the official road from Wanning Prefecture to Anjing, Lu Jinghui was leisurely eating watermelon in the carriage.

He was humming a little tune, which showed that he was in a good mood.

Lu Liu rode a fast horse and caught up from behind, came to the outside of the carriage and moved parallel to it.

Lu Jinghui lifted the car curtain and glanced at him.

"The old one and the young one are all dead, leaving only two half-grown children."

"Has the arrangements been made?"

"It has been arranged. They will definitely think that Ye Shian hired someone to do it."

"Very good, very good, hahahaha..."

"Didn't the old immortal say that whoever makes things difficult for her will be made difficult by her? Today, I will also act like an immortal."

Wuyang County.

Tian Yong paced back and forth in the lobby.

This time he really bet on the wrong horse. He thought he could make friends with the powerful and influential, but who knew that instead of making friends with them, he offended Mr. Wei.

And there was Ye Shian. Who would have thought that a country girl like her could do business with the royal family?

Now he had to find a way to make up for the mistakes he had made before.

His way of making up for it was to arrest Ye Zhankui's family, charge them with slander, and then see how Ye Shian would deal with it.

The officers below rushed towards Tian Yong in the scorching sun.

"grown ups."

Seeing the people he sent out come back, Tian Yong excitedly stepped forward and asked: "How is it, how is it, have you caught the people?"

The officer shook his head.

"Hey, I asked you to catch someone, but you can't even do it. You really are..."

"No, sir, listen to me. When we arrived, three of Ye Zhankui's five family members were burned to death."

"What?" Tian Yong was surprised.

The official continued, "It happened last night. Half of Wanning Prefecture saw the fire. It was not completely extinguished until the morning. The couple and their youngest son were gone. Only the two older ones were left."

"Hey, so miserable..."

"That's right. When I saw this, I just couldn't bring myself to do it, so I came back to report to you."

"Did you find out how the fire started?"

The officer shook his head and said, "No, I was in a hurry to report back to you, so I didn't dare to delay."

Tian Yong walked around the room with his bulging belly, then nodded with a pursed mouth as if he had confirmed something.

The officer was curious: "Sir, sir..."

"Hiss, calling the soul, sir, I am not deaf."

"So, should we catch this guy or not?"

"Why are we still arresting them? They have already taken revenge on their own. Why do they still need us?"

The officer took a deep breath and said, "Sir, what do you mean..."

Tian Yong glared at him and said, "Go away, I didn't say anything."

After Ye Hai and his sister buried their parents and Xiaoshan, they knelt in front of the grave, not knowing what to do next.

"Brother, what should we do next?"

"Don't you want to go to Anjing to look for Qian Cheng? Go ahead. I'll leave in the next two days. As for the money, don't worry. I'll find a way to raise it for you."

"how about you?"

"Of course I'm staying."

"No, brother, come with me. Let's go to Anjing together. Mother said that we have an aunt in Anjing too. Maybe we can go to her for help when the time comes."

"I won't leave. I can't leave. Lian'er, you just have to listen to me and go alone. When I'm done, I'll come find you, okay?"

"No, no... You should go with me."

Ye Lian'er held Ye Hai's hand tightly. He was her only relative now, and she would never leave him alone here no matter what.

Ye Hai pulled his hand back stubbornly: "Lian'er, I can't leave. I can't let my parents die unjustly like this."

The four words "die unjustly" seem to have magical power.

The tears in Ye Lian'er's eyes stopped there: "You, you mean..."

"This fire was such a coincidence, so coincidental that it makes us think more."

The torment of the past few days almost made Ye Lian'er lose her balance: "No, it's not like that. It's absolutely impossible. Brother, you must be overthinking it. It's absolutely impossible to be like this."

"Lian'er, do you still think Ye Shian is a good person? Would a good person set fire to us?"

"Brother, you must be overthinking it. Shi'an her, Shi'an her..."

"Have you forgotten what Yu said in prison?"

How could Ye Lian'er forget: "Eldest aunt will definitely not let our family go if she tells us..."

"Look, you clearly know it, but you refuse to admit it."

Ye Lian'er held onto the small tree beside her and couldn't help trembling: "No, no, no, it's not like that..."

Just then, two officers came over here.

"I knew you two were here."

Ye Hai bowed to the two officers and said, "Two brothers, have you found out the cause of the fire?"

"I came here to tell you this. Your house was set on fire. Kerosene was found near the east window. If it weren't for the kerosene, the fire wouldn't have started so quickly."

Someone really set the fire.

Ye Lian'er could no longer bear the blow, her body went limp and she fainted.

Ye Hai was quick to catch Ye Lian'er when she was about to fall...

When Lu Jinghui returned to Anjing and handed in his assignment, he realized that he was just an errand boy and all the credit was taken away by Old Wei.

It turned out that when Mr. Wei came to Anjing, he brought a cart of things, and those things were really picked from Ye Shian’s fields.

The emperor and the empress dowager praised the dish highly after eating it, and immediately decided to let Ye Shian deliver the dish to the palace.

As for the high-yield grain, the second prince Li Hongting had already reported it to the emperor.

The emperor was naturally happy to know that Ye Shian could grow high-yield crops, and he was waiting for Lu Jinghui to transport the grain back.

Lu Jinghui didn't dare to say anything about this matter. After all, the Second Prince and Old Wei had already said everything that could be said.

He could only report the truth to the emperor honestly. After hearing it, the emperor was very pleased and immediately ordered that the grain collected by Lu Jinghui be distributed to the people as seeds and planted in the autumn, hoping that the people would be able to get rid of hunger from then on.

After leaving the palace, Lu Jinghui's face drooped like a donkey's.

His mother, Li Zhener, the second wife of the Marquis's Mansion, knew that he was coming back today and was eagerly waiting for him at home.

"Hui'er, you're finally back."

"How did the errand go?"

Lu Jinghui angrily passed by Li Zhener.

Li Zhener was confused: "What, what happened?"

After entering the house and drinking tea, Lu Jinghui told Li Zhener what had happened.
