The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

Ye Nianxi took a deep breath and then knocked on the door of Room 5.

Chu Yao poked her little head out and saw Ye Nianxi wearing a fox fur coat and surrounded by dozens of guards. She immediately asked weakly:

"Excuse me, madam, are you looking for my master, Ye Qianxuan?"

Ye Nianxi was stunned for a moment. This was the first time she met Chu Yao.

She never imagined that her brother, a lowly corpse seamstress, actually had a mistress in his mansion!

There is such a beautiful maid at home!

He really... has made it!

"Yes."

Ye Nianxi answered softly.

"The master has gone out and hasn't come back yet. Madam, please come back later."

As the daughter of a wealthy family, Chu Yao naturally knew how to mediate. After giving an apologetic smile, she prepared to close the door.

"and many more."

Ye Nianxi stretched out her hand and blocked the door:

"Can I go in and wait for him for a while?"

"This..." Chu Yao looked at the other party, who was either rich or noble. She felt that this might be a big deal. It was difficult to refuse on behalf of the owner, so she nodded and opened the door.

"Well, please come in, ma'am."

"Madam! This morgue is a filthy and smelly place. You'd better not go in!" The attendant immediately advised.

In everyone's impression, the morgue is not a good place.

Even the lowest-end morgues are just as filthy.

"It's not dirty! I clean it seven times every day!" Chu Yao said seriously.

"Don't be rude, just wait for me outside."

Ye Nianxi snorted coldly, then sent the servants outside and walked in alone.

The moment she stepped in, Ye Nianxi felt as if she was in late spring in the south of the Yangtze River!

With three honeycomb coal stoves and a clean and tidy floor, this house is even more comfortable than her Lady Zhenbei Mansion!

Ye Nianxi noticed that the honeycomb coal stove here was different from the one in her own home. There was actually a high-hanging copper bucket on top, and then a copper pipe extended from it, all the way to the wall and coiled up densely!

It was emitting warmth, just like the honeycomb coal stove!

Chu Yao noticed Ye Nianxi's look and explained:

"Madam, this is something the master invented that can dissipate heat. It's called a heater!"

"With it, the whole house can be like spring all year round!"

After Chu Yao finished speaking, she added some water into the high-hanging bucket.

Ye Nianxi couldn't help but sigh!

He is worthy of being my younger brother!

He is indeed a genius!

"Can you tell me more about your master?" Ye Nianxi said after sitting down.

"Okay! As long as Madam is willing to listen!"

Chu Yao showed a crescent-shaped smile, and then began to talk about Ye Qianxuan's various strengths!

From honeycomb coal to sweet potatoes, from being eager to help others to protecting herself, Chu Yao's words are full of admiration and respect for Ye Qianxuan!

Ye Nianxi was completely stunned.

Only then did she realize that she didn't know her brother very well!

I never expected that the sweet potatoes that were so hard to come by on the black market would become just a snack for Ye Qianxuan’s maid in this corpse-sewing room!

She felt extremely guilty!

I just regret why I didn’t come here earlier!

"It's a pity... the master doesn't like to talk about his past. I still don't know anything about his past."

Chu Yao pouted, as if she was very disappointed about this.

"The past..."

Yes, what is there to mention about Ye Qianxuan’s past?

It's just all these sad things about his mother abandoning him, his brother cheating him, and his fiancée abandoning him!

Even she, his sister, didn't stand up to protect him in time!

At this moment, Ye Nianxi's face was extremely pale.

Seeing this, Chu Yao was a little worried. She poured a cup of hot water from the honeycomb coal stove and handed it to her: "Madam? Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Ye Nianxi shook her head: "Go on, I want to hear more about him."

This……

Chu Yao pursed her lips.

Although she never knew her master's past, she knew that her master now had many enemies!

She also didn't know much about the origins of this lady with a luxurious background, so she didn't dare to speak carelessly!

It's okay to talk about her admiration for her master!

But it is impossible to trick the master's information from Chu Yao's mouth!

"If the Madam is the Master's enemy, take action now!"

"Chu Yao will never betray her master!"

Chu Yao raised her head, looking ready to be killed, with an extremely determined look in her eyes!

Ye Nianxi was stunned for a moment.

Does Qian Xuan have so many enemies now? !

I just asked more about Qian Xuan, but this little maidservant became so alert!

But... I never knew it!

Moreover, a little maid is willing to sacrifice her life for him!

As her biological sister...

Ye Nianxi felt inexplicably distressed, and even breathing seemed to be extremely difficult.

His eyes were filled with sadness and regret.

Brother, I’m sorry!

At this moment, Ye Nianxi's heart was filled with infinite guilt and regret!

Two lines of clear tears fell uncontrollably onto the ground.

The simple Chu Yao was a little surprised when she saw this scene!

Why is this lady crying? !

"Madam, are you and my master friends?" Chu Yao asked tentatively.

"Not a friend." Ye Nianxi shook her head and answered firmly:

"It's my brother!"

"It's my biological brother!"

What? ? ?

Chu Yao was stunned for a moment, then looked a little unbelievable, and asked suspiciously, "Madam, are you joking?"

"Do you still think Chu Yao is innocent and easy to deceive? Are you using this excuse to deceive Chu Yao?"

Ye Nianxi looked puzzled, not understanding why Chu Yao said that!

Chu Yao said directly: "My master is indeed a genius, extraordinary in every way, but my master is definitely not from a wealthy family, let alone a powerful background!"

Ye Nianxi was surprised: "Why do you say that?"

Chu Yao answered without thinking: "It's very simple. Look at the fox fur coat that Madam is wearing. It's enough to cover the annual income of a corpse tailor!"

"Who with such a strong background would be willing to let his younger brother become a lowly corpse-sewer?"

Chu Yao's words made Ye Nianxi's face look a little unnatural, and she hesitantly explained:

"I...I only became rich after I married into Beiliang..."

"He was willing to become a corpse-snatcher just to support his family..."

"Then my master can't be my wife's younger brother." Chu Yao said firmly.

"If the master entered the ranks of sewing corpses to support his family, it shows that he has sacrificed a lot for his family. Then why have I never seen his family come to visit?"

"Even my dear sister, Madam, this is her first time here since returning home!"

"How could there be such a family!"

Ye Nianxi fell silent, not knowing how to answer.

Chu Yao looked at Ye Nianxi, frowned, and asked, "Madam, why are you silent?"

Chu Yao's question directly pierced Ye Nianxi's chest.

The angle is tricky.

The attack was ruthless.

It’s a killer!

Yes!

Even she, the elder sister, who had been in the capital of Dong Zhou for a month, only came to the Corpse Sewing Street for the first time to see her younger brother!

She was unable to answer Chu Yao's question, and even burst into tears out of guilt and regret, without caring about her image.

Ye Nianxi finally realized at this moment that she had never considered Ye Qianxuan as a family member from the beginning to the end!

It was only when Ye Qianxuan did earth-shattering things again and again and appeared in front of her eyes and in her ears again and again that she realized that she had misunderstood her brother, and that's why she came here!

In fact, I, my mother and my brother are the same person!

She felt guilty and regretful, and at the same time, she couldn't explain herself clearly when faced with Chu Yao's questions!

You can't say that their family looks down on those who are willing to be slaves to support them!

This is the truth.

This was the truth that Ye Nianxi was unwilling to admit and unable to tell before and after.

Even at this moment, Ye Nianxi suddenly thought of a question that she had never thought about before.

I have always been pursuing a happy family. I brought Ye Qianxuan back to the family, hoping that everything would be reconciled as before and that everything would return to the way it was.

in the end……

Is it really correct?

Or maybe it was just because he saw Ye Qianxuan's rapid success that he had such thoughts?

Did he really just want the successful Qian Xuan to go back and continue to provide for his family?!

What if Ye Qianxuan is still just a lowly corpse seamstress?

Do I still want him to return to the family so much?

Even if Ye Qianxuan really returned to his family, what kind of treatment would he get?

Qianxuan himself is also living a very good life now!

Ye Nianxi took a deep breath, stood up and bowed deeply to Chu Yao:

"Been taught a lesson."

Then he turned and left.

From now on, she will make it up to her brother!

Even though she was far away in Beiliang, next time she asked her cousin to bring something home, she would make sure to bring double!

She wants to use her identity as the wife of the King of Beiliang Zhenbei to help her brother live a good life!

Chu Yao looked at Ye Nianxi's leaving back and couldn't help but raise her head proudly:

"She's obviously not the master's biological sister!"

"Humph! You still want to trick me! I'm smart!"

As Ye Nianxi left Room 5, the torture in the Ministry of Revenue's interrogation room was drawing to a close...
