Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

As Li Xuan expected, the Yao family soon caught up with them.

Ye Zhen knew that Li Xuan would not suffer in vain. Just by looking at the anxious look of the Yao family's nephew, she knew that the matter was not trivial.

There was still a little bitterness from the walnut kernel in her mouth. Li Xuan'an's warm palm pressed down on her shoulder. As if he was afraid that the newcomer would scare her, she unhappily ordered Yun Zhui, "What are you yelling about? Tell him to keep his voice down."

In just this moment, Ye Zhen suddenly felt that the hatred she had felt for being framed by Madam Yao could be forgiven, because this time was different from her previous life. Li Xuan loved her and protected her. Because of his existence, she felt that warmth was the only way to heal hatred. Revenge was right, but revenge could not heal the regrets in her heart.

It wasn't just this moment, maybe it was because she had just seen Li Xuan changing clothes behind the gauze curtain, or maybe it was because he had just fed her walnuts. In short, she found that the scale in her heart was more warm than hateful.

As she thought so, her eyes became bright and clear. Li Xuan could see clearly and his heart was warmed. However, this was not the time to speak. He subconsciously held Ye Zhen's hand tightly. Unexpectedly, she slightly stretched out her fingers and clasped them tightly with him.

Li Xuan suddenly forgot the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The nephew of the Yao family outside burst into tears, "Please ask the Imperial Master to return to the prefecture. My aunt suddenly doesn't recognize anyone and won't listen to anyone who talks to her."

"One moment he said he was Zhang Tianshi and wanted to catch a fox spirit, and the next moment he curled up on the bed and cried for help, not letting anyone get close to him."

"I've been crying and yelling for quite a while."

"Please ask the Imperial Master to save my aunt."

This man knelt in the mud, kowtowing as he spoke, as if he was planning to die right there if Li Xuan didn't agree.

Although Yun Zhui didn't know that Ye Zhen was drugged and transferred to Li Xuan'an, he knew that the Second Master was serious when he saw the cloth burned to ashes.

At this moment, he stopped the person on the side of the road and said rudely, "Mr. Yao, what you said is right. Madam Yao is sick and she needs to see a doctor. Besides, the Second Master is not feeling well, so how can he have the time to help those ruthless people to avoid disasters and seek good fortunes."

Yao Lingchuan couldn't raise his head, and only said, "If my uncle and aunt have offended the Imperial Master, I will kowtow to you on their behalf."

"Please have mercy and save my aunt's life."

Seeing that he was a grown man crying until his eyes were red, Yun Zhui said disdainfully, "I've told you everything clearly, why are you still refusing to listen? Who knows what evil things your Yao family has done? Save your life and find another way to go."

Yao Lingchuan was obviously shocked when he heard the words "harming the heaven and evil", "Auntie also had no choice..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly woke up, "Please, Master Imperial Master!"

Ye Zhen and Li Xuan looked at each other. "Normally, Yao Lingchuan is a junior and a stranger. He doesn't speak for his uncle and keeps calling him aunt."

Ye Zhen half-jokingly said, "Although Lord Yao only had a young daughter, she died last year."

"But Madam Yao is still young. It's not the time for her to adopt a child from the clan. Besides, even if she does, she can't adopt a child this old."

"Lord Yao didn't come, but he was sent here. Look at him crying and snotting. I wonder if he thought Yao Lingchuan was Madam Yao's biological son."

Li Xuan liked to hear her insinuating words, and kissed the back of her hand lovingly, "You guessed wrong, they are not mother and son."

Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows, "You're crying so sadly, but... "

She was indeed confused.

Li Xuan lifted a corner of the car curtain with one hand and said coldly, "Master Yao, you are blocking my car like this, aren't you afraid that Master Yao will find out and become suspicious?"

Yao Lingchuan's expression froze, and he showed panic at first, and then, as if he had made a great decision, he pursed his lips and said, "As long as the Imperial Master is willing to save my aunt's life."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lian Yunzhui could sense something was wrong.

Ye Zhen's eyes trembled, and he said in surprise, "So..."

Li Xuan nodded, patted the back of her hand considerately to calm her down, and then leaned out to say to the dejected Yao Lingchuan, "Young Master Yao is so affectionate, I'm afraid if your uncle knew, not only would he not save Madam Yao, he would even wish her dead to save her from embarrassment."

"dont you agree?"

Yao Lingchuan woke up as if from a dream, his whole body weak, "I, I..."

"I believe Master Yao knows Lord Yao's character better than I do."

"You chased me so far to save Madam Yao. The officers and soldiers of the prefecture government were not as dedicated as you. Afterwards, even if Master Yao didn't think clearly at the moment, if someone else said something, it might be a different story."

With just a few words, Li Xuan lightly removed the strongest wall in Yao Lingchuan's heart, making him nervous in an instant.

Yao Lingchuan was indeed a businessman, and he was able to quickly analyze the situation at this critical moment. He swallowed and said, "As long as the Imperial Master can save her, I will do whatever you say."

Li Xuan achieved his goal and did not beat around the bush. His expression turned cold and he asked, "Who asked Madam Yao to drug my people?"

For the sake of Madam Yao's safety, Yao Lingchuan pursed his lips and said, "It's a nobleman from the capital."

"Years ago, my aunt went to Beijing to meet the ladies. After she came back, she often sent people to bring letters to the capital. I asked her several times, but she didn't tell me."

"Aunt gave the Imperial Master drugs because that person wanted to find fault with the young lady next to you and say that she seduced you, so he asked Aunt..."

Li Xu'an's eyes were filled with ice, "Who is that person?"

"I have never seen her, and my aunt refused to say, but from what I know it is most likely a girl. Because every time my aunt sends someone a letter, she fumigates it a day in advance."

Hearing this, Ye Zhen suddenly asked, "Do you know what kind of fragrance it is?"

Yao Lingchuan thought about it and said uncertainly, "Sometimes it smells like flowers, and sometimes it seems like sandalwood."

sandalwood?

Ye Zhen pinched the back of her hand subconsciously, and suddenly remembered that she was pinching Li Xuan'an's hand. When he looked over, she quickly hid the suspicion in her eyes.

She didn't know if Li Xuan had noticed that Meng Qianru also liked to carry a little sandalwood on her body.

Yao Lingchuan slumped to the ground, "I've told you everything I know, Master Imperial Master..."

Li Xuan lowered the curtain indifferently and said, "I will give you two hours, Master Yao. If you can find out who that person is, I will help you. If not..."

"I'm sorry I can't help you."

I thought Yao Lingchuan would refuse and kowtow and beg again, but I didn't expect him to be silent for a moment. He gritted his teeth and stood up, "I hope the Imperial Master will keep his word."

He also knew that Madam Yao had done something wrong, and the Imperial Master only gave her a small punishment. Moreover, the Imperial Master wanted the person behind the scenes, indicating that he would not vent his anger on Madam Yao.

Yao Lingchuan is worth the risk.

After he left, Li Xuan looked at Ye Zhen and saw her eyelashes fluttering. He asked, "Do you have any suspicions?"

Ye Zhen shook her head.

She knew that Li Xuan'an liked her, but she didn't dare to easily weigh the pros and cons with Meng Qianru in Li Xuan's heart. After all, they had discussed marriage, and Li Xuan'an and the little maid were together after being rejected by Meng Qianru.

Has he really let go of his indifference towards Meng Qianru, or is he taking revenge unconsciously?

Ye Zhen didn't want to pursue these things, she just tried her best not to get involved in them.

But she underestimated Li Xuan's understanding of her. He leaned over and rubbed Ye Zhen's cheek affectionately with his nose, "You are lying."

"You blink when you're nervous and you pinch your fingers subconsciously."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen's whole body suddenly stiffened and she dared not move.

Li Xu'an asked again, "Who are you guessing in your mind?"

Ye Zhen was a little nervous, and her breathing was a little disordered, because she suddenly wondered if he could see through her thoughts. But then she ruled out this possibility. If he could see through her, why would she ask?

She calmed herself down a bit and was about to change the subject when she suddenly felt the carriage getting hotter.

It felt like the sun was descending on my head and the temperature rose instantly.

How can there be sun in the middle of the night?

Ye Zhen realized something was wrong and grabbed Li Xuan's hand again. The next second, he was hugged into Li Xuan's arms. He looked more solemn than ever before, "He's here."
