Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Aunt Li decided to find a matchmaker to propose marriage. She was worried that Mrs. Qiao had too many conditions, so she asked her daughter-in-law Erni to go next door to test the waters first.

Mrs. Qiao was uncharacteristically very serious. She had only one request: she hoped her daughter would not leave home after getting married. She either wanted to marry a live-in son-in-law or let her daughter live at home.

Aunt Li thought that since the two houses were next to each other, it didn't matter, so she agreed.

Qiao Ling was not happy about it. The place she lived in now was very small and her room was right next to her parents' room, which was very inconvenient.

But Aunt Li's yard is only slightly bigger than his own, and it seems inconvenient for six people to live there.

But she was too embarrassed to bring it up, so when she came back from the academy with Li Zhi in the evening, she asked Li Zhi what he thought.

"I'll listen to you."

"How about we rent a separate yard nearby or buy a small yard?"

Li Zhi was very honest: "What if your parents are unhappy?"

"Don't worry about it. Just buy it first. I have two taels of silver. How about you take it?"

Li Zhi laughed, and Qiao Ling glared at him: "What are you laughing at? Do you think I don't have enough money?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "You are so nice."

With the help of a real estate agent, Li Zhi secretly bought the house next door to Qiao Ling's. An old widower lived there. After receiving a higher-than-market price for the rent, he happily moved to the north of the city and lived in a better yard.

The Qiao and Li families had no objections, so the house renovation was handed over to Qiao Da and Li Zhu. Qiao Ling and Li Zhi would go to the next door every night when they returned home, imagining a happy married life.

When Ye Youlan heard that Li Zhi and Qiao Ling were preparing for their wedding, she asked people to send them a lot of good things. Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Ling couldn't let go of the high-quality soft silk quilt covers.

"Mom, why don't you take a quilt back and use it as a cover so you can enjoy it too."

"I'm satisfied that you have such a filial mother."

Song Wen also asked Xiao Bao to send a gift to the Qiao family. Mrs. Qiao told Qiao Ling: "Mr. Song is our benefactor after all. I will make some delicious food and send it to his family tomorrow to express my gratitude. We can't afford anything else."

"Mother, Madam Feng has gone to the capital. Please come back soon. Don't stay any longer."

"I know."

Song Wenmu was on leave at home and asked Xiaobao to have a couple of drinks with him. He had given everyone in the mansion a day off today, so he left Xiaobao alone to talk to him.

The midsummer night in Gucheng was very hot. The master and servant sat under the grape trellis in the yard, drinking and talking.

Xiao Bao told him that those people had been investigated by the government, but fortunately nothing was found. Now there was nothing to do, so it would be better to send them all away. The daily expenses were too high.

Song Wen played with the cup in his hand: "No rush, hold on for a while."

Xiao Bao looked at Song Wen puzzledly: "Sir, are you planning to make a big move?"

Song Wen smiled with a sinister aura, "I will make sure that the Seventh Prince and Ye Youlan die without a burial place."

Xiao Bao scratched his head: "Mr. Song, how big is the hatred between you and the Seventh Prince?"

Song Wen suddenly leaned towards Xiao Bao and said, "I mainly want to avenge your young master. Your young master is my only good friend in the capital."

Xiao Bao doesn't believe it. He has been with the young master for so many years, and the young master doesn't have any friends except his bad friends.

"What do you intend to do, sir?"

Song Wen patted his thigh lightly and looked at Xiao Bao with a smile: "When Xiao Hong died, what was your biggest regret? Was it that you didn't sleep with her?"

Xiao Bao blushed. "I want to, too, but she doesn't want to marry me. She says I look like a little carrot head and that the guard Li Yi, married to the princess's maid Xiao Mei, is tall and handsome. Actually, I don't like her that much, but I'm tempted by her beauty."

Mr. Song, you don't know how many beautiful women my young master has slept with. I have to keep watch for him outside every day. It's so hard to endure."

"Your young master's greatest wish is not to sleep with Ye Youlan, so how about I help him fulfill his wish?"

Xiao Bao smiled flatteringly: "I wish your wish will come true. I also hope that Mr. will agree to let me marry Caiwei."

Something outside fell to the ground with a clang. The two men were startled and quickly got up and walked around to the screen wall, where they saw Mrs. Qiao standing there in a daze.

It’s over. Mrs. Qiao heard the whole conversation.

Mrs. Qiao finally reacted: "I didn't hear anything. I came to bring some food to my husband. I'll go back first."

Song Wen gave Xiao Bao a look, and Xiao Bao picked up a wooden stick from the wall and hit Mrs. Qiao on the head from behind. Blood oozed from her hair, and Mrs. Qiao fell heavily to the ground.

Song Wen felt Mrs. Qiao's breath and said, "She's dead. You were quite cruel."

Xiao Bao was so scared that he dropped the stick and asked, "What should I do?"

Song Wen gave orders calmly, asking Xiao Bao to help drag the body aside first, and then go into the house to find a sack to put it in and tie it up.

"Go hire a carriage and take her to the ravine at Shanggu Peak to feed the wolves."

"What about you, sir?"

"I'll clean up the marks on the ground."

So the two of them divided the work. Xiao Bao quickly hired a carriage and drove it himself out of the city while the city gate was still open. He estimated that he would not be back until tomorrow.

"When you come back, find a river and wash the car."

After Xiao Bao left, he washed the stick with water, then cut it into several pieces and stuffed them into the woodshed. He also cleaned up the blood and food on the ground.

I took two identical coarse porcelain bowls from the kitchen and placed them in the food box. I also put away Xiaobao's wine glass and chopsticks. Coincidentally, it rained heavily that night, on and off all night.

Qiao Da came knocking on the door in the middle of the night holding an umbrella. Song Wen opened the door for Qiao Da with sleepy eyes and yawned, and saw Qiao Da holding an umbrella with a worried look on his face.

"Brother Qiao, is everything okay? What happened in such heavy rain?"

"Have you seen Qiao Lingniang? I heard she was coming to bring you some food tonight, so why hasn't she gone home yet?"

Song Wen patted his head and said, "Mrs. Qiao brought me food. She said she would collect the dishes after I finished eating, but after I finished eating and washed the dishes, no one came. I thought she forgot. Maybe she went to someone's house to chat and couldn't leave because of the heavy rain?"

Qiao Da said he would look for it again.

The next morning, Song Wen arrived at Qiao's house, carrying a lunch box. He found the door open and Qiao Ling and Qiao Da were not at home. Aunt Li, who was standing nearby, told him that they had gone to see Mrs. Qiao.

Song Wen said, "Then I'll go and help look for her. Mrs. Qiao is such a nice person. She even brought me food yesterday!"

Mrs. Qiao suddenly disappeared, and Qiao Ling and Li Zhi's marriage came to a halt. Now they are all focused on finding Mrs. Qiao, and they want to see her alive or dead.

Ye Youlan thought that the last person to see Sister Qiao should be Song Wen, but there was no reason for Song Wen to kill Sister Qiao? Song Wen was on his day off that day, and everyone in the mansion was on holiday. It wasn't just this time, it was always like this when he was on his day off.

The young man left the city yesterday and came back at noon the next day. There were many fruits, vegetables and half a leg of lamb in his car. It was reasonable that things outside the city were cheap.

Missing person notices were posted in all three states and eight prefectures, but half a month passed and there was still no news.
