Because Ye Qingyin had been accompanying Ye Ziyu these days, Ye Kexin had not found a chance to meet Ye Ziyu alone.

Ye Qingyin had something to do that day and did not come to Ye Ziyu's place in the morning, so Ye Kexin came to see Ye Ziyu again.

"Third sister." Ye Kexin called sweetly.

Hearing this, Ye Ziyu saw Ye Kexin walking in with another food box.

"I heard that Third Sister accidentally sprained her foot a few days ago, so I came to see her."

Ye Ziyu: My foot is almost healed. You came to see me because of your foot injury...

"Fourth sister is here, please take a seat." Ye Ziyu got up from the bed and prepared to walk to the table.

Ye Kexin hurried over to stop her, "Third sister, if your foot is injured, you should stay in bed. This way it will heal faster."

Ye Ziyu: Really... does everyone have to repeat this?

"In that case, I'll sit on the bed." Ye Ziyu smiled.

Ye Ziyu did not continue the topic, but just sat on the bed and drank the pork bone soup that Liqiu brought. Ye Ziyu had been drinking this pork bone soup every day in the past few days and was almost sick of it.

Seeing that Ye Ziyu didn't speak for a long time, Ye Kexin became a little anxious, "Third sister, my brother's matter..."

"Oh, I told my elder sister about my younger sister's matter, but..." Ye Ziyu shook her head.

"Third sister, can you please ask big sister for your brother again?"

"Fourth sister, it's not that I won't help you, but my eldest sister said that if I talk to her about this again, she will turn against me. If you really want to ask my eldest sister for help, why don't you go talk to my eldest sister yourself?"

Ye Kexin lowered her eyes, "I understand, thank you, Third Sister."

Ye Kexin sat with Ye Ziyu for a while and then left.

"Miss, it seems that the fourth young lady wants to make friends with you recently. She didn't come once when you were back home for such a long time, but she came recently. It's just that she saw the eldest young lady here before and didn't come in." Li Qiu said.

"Maybe you want to ask me for something. Oh, can we not drink the pork bone soup?" Ye Ziyu looked at Li Qiu with a bitter face.

"This pork bone soup was specially ordered by the young lady to be made in the kitchen. Young lady, you must not let the young lady down." Li Qiu advised.

"But I've been drinking pork bone soup for almost a week. Now the smell of pork bone soup makes me want to vomit."

"No, this pork bone soup tastes so delicious." Li Qiu said and smacked his lips twice.

"How about..." Ye Ziyu handed the pork bone soup to Li Qiu, "Will you drink it?"

Li Qiu covered her mouth with both hands and shook her head frantically, "No, no matter how greedy this servant is, I cannot drink what the eldest lady prepared for the young lady. This servant does not want to not be able to eat good food next time."

No matter how Ye Ziyu tried to coax Liqiu into drinking the pork bone soup, Liqiu refused. Ye Ziyu had no choice but to drink it herself.

"Miss." Yifeng came over.

Ye Ziyu handed the bowl to Liqiu, who took the bowl and went out.

"what happened?"

"Shi Encai and his wife are dead."

"Dead? When did he die?"

"They have been dead for some time. I was dealing with the shop's affairs. I finished yesterday and went to investigate recently. I found the bodies of Shi Encai and his wife in the mass grave."

"Understood, let's go down."

"Yes."

After Yifeng left, Ye Ziyu stared out the window in a daze, "Isn't the mass grave the best place to find corpses? Bluffing."

"Sir, the servant at the gate reported that someone dumped the bodies of a man and a woman in front of our gate and left."

Huang Boyi frowned, "A man and a woman, could it be?" He stood up and walked out quickly.

"Bring these two bodies in, and find out who brought them in. And if anyone else saw them, if anyone saw them, silence them." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards the mansion.

"Sir, why did you move these two bodies in? Why not just dispose of them?"

"That person went to so much trouble to dump the body in front of the mansion gate. He must have had some purpose. We must be able to find some clues on the body." Huang Boyi said.

Fang Jingxiu: You're overthinking it. There's no purpose. It's just to make a big fuss so that Miss Ye San will know where the body is.

However, Fang Jingxiu's men did not choose a good time. When they threw the body, there were the least people on the street. Also, because the servants of the Huang Mansion discovered it in time and quickly brought the body into the Huang Mansion, almost no one saw the body being thrown into the Huang Mansion.

Huang Boyi sent people to investigate for a long time, but they could not find out who killed the two men and sent them to the gate of the mansion, and they could not find any clues from the bodies.

"Sir, the person who delivered the body is really cunning. We can't find anything."

"A bunch of trash."

"What about these two bodies?"

"When they were dragged to a mass grave at night, it was upsetting to watch."

In the middle of the night, the servant of the Huang Mansion quietly sent the two bodies to the mass grave.

On the second day, after finishing his work, Yi Feng thought of Shi Encai and the other man. He had not looked for any trace of them recently. He also remembered that Fang Jingxiu had said before that he would kill them, so he thought of going to the mass grave to try his luck and see if he could find their bodies. As a result, Yi Feng found their bodies not long after he arrived at the mass grave and hurried back to report to Ye Ziyu.

In the afternoon, after Ye Qingyin finished her own business, she went to Ye Ziyu's place to accompany her.

"Ayu, look, what did I bring you?" Ye Qingyin held the wrapped candied haws.

"Oh, candied haws! Sister, please give it to me." Ye Ziyu sat obediently on the bed and stretched out her hand.

Ye Qingyin walked over with a smile and handed the candied haws to Ye Ziyu, "I know you're bored at home, drinking pork bone soup every day and having nothing else to eat, so I bought this for you to satisfy your craving."

"Sister is the best to me. She knows I am craving this." Ye Ziyu opened a package and started eating. "Why doesn't Sister eat it?"

"I'll give you both skewers. I'm afraid you're too greedy and one skewers won't be enough." Ye Qingyin tapped Ye Ziyu's nose.

"Sister, please eat it. It's not good to eat too much at once. You may get a toothache. One string is enough for me to satisfy my craving." Ye Ziyu held the string of candied haws that she had just eaten in her mouth, then took the other string from Ye Qingyin's hand, opened the package, and handed it to Ye Qingyin.

Ye Qingyin took a bite and then took the candied haws. Ye Ziyu smiled, took the candied haws from her mouth and started eating.

"Tanghulu is like this. I never get tired of eating it no matter how many times I eat it. I always want to eat it every time I see it."

"It's strange. My parents and brothers don't like sweets, but Ayu loves sweets very much." Ye Qingyin said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ye Ziyu paused and explained, "That's because I've never eaten these sweets before. Every time I see others eating them, I get so greedy that I love them now. Maybe I won't like sweets anymore if I eat too much in the future."

"It's okay. If you like to eat, then eat. No one will stop you."

"Yeah, oh, by the way, sister, Shi Encai and the others... are dead."

"Let him die." Ye Qingyin looked dejected. Although Shi Encai and Sun Min were not kind to her, they were still her last blood relatives after all.

"Sister, you have us." Ye Ziyu saw that Ye Qingyin was in a low mood and held Ye Qingyin's hand with one hand.

"Well, I still have you guys."

"You said before that you would find a day after the New Year to go back and pay homage to your biological mother and father. How about after the shop is ready, while you are still engaged, I will accompany you back?" Ye Ziyu said.

"I'm afraid not."

"Why?"

"Mrs. Ling and mother had someone calculate the date before. The best date for engagement is either the beginning of next month or half a year later. Mrs. Ling felt that half a year was too long, so she wanted to get engaged at the beginning of next month."

"The beginning of next month? Doesn't that mean there's only half a month left? Is half a month enough? And didn't they say that my sister and Mr. Ling should get along with each other first? If they get engaged so soon, what if they're not suitable later?" Ye Ziyu worried.

"Engagement is not marriage. Even if you are engaged, you can still cancel the engagement. As for the engagement banquet, Madam Ling said we don't have to worry about it. She will take care of everything. We just need to tell her the guests to be invited."

"Okay... Then we'll go after my sister gets engaged. If Mr. Ling is free, we can have him go with us to meet my sister's parents."

"Ah."

"There's still half a month left, so my foot will definitely be healed, and I won't be late for my sister's engagement party."

"You, you just want to have fun. Then you have to be careful in the next half month and don't hurt yourself again."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, please don't curse me, sister. I definitely can't and won't hurt myself."

"Okay, okay, eat it quickly, or the candied haws will melt."
