Coming out of the government office and sitting in the carriage, Luzhu and Lianqiao looked guilty.

The two men only watched the entrance of the alley, but they didn't expect that there was a remote corner gate behind the government office.

If Zhou Wuwei hadn't warned them, they would have been in great trouble.

"Don't cry, you two. I've lived in the government office for such a long time and I didn't even know there was a corner gate. It's understandable that you didn't notice it."

Having said that, the two little girls still had tears in their eyes.

"Girl, we must be careful in the future and will not cause any trouble for you."

Luzhu wiped away her tears and looked determined.

"Okay, from now on you should learn more from Aunt Liu. She is the most steady and thorough in doing things."

As soon as Aunt Liu was mentioned, Ye Jintang looked up and saw her standing at the entrance of Feicui Hutong, looking around.

When she saw the carriage carrying Ye Jintang and his group, she immediately strode over to greet them.

When Ye Jintang saw the attitude of Nanny Liu, he vaguely felt that something must have happened at home.

"Miss, you are back. Young Master Ye came to the mansion early this morning. I told him that you went to the temple to pray for the master and his wife."

"Yesong is here? He is on time."

Ye Jintang didn't have a good impression of the Ye family.

Ye Song is his cousin. He looks handsome and eloquent, but in fact he is extremely selfish.

In the original novel, he came to pick up the original owner and made a lot of money from it, especially some antiques and jades, which he secretly took away.

He came to Yuezhou in such a hurry, not because he was worried that Ye Jintang would be bullied, but because he was afraid that the Ye family's property would be stolen by someone with ulterior motives.

"Did Ye Song ask you a question?"

"Master Ye asked me why the young lady didn't live in the government office. I only said that I arrived late and didn't know why the young lady moved out."

"He also asked me if anyone had been in contact with the young lady recently, and I replied that only Governor Song occasionally took care of the young lady."

"Okay, all of you keep your mouth shut and don't let yourself be tricked."

"I understand."

"Little understands."

Ye Jintang instructed the people around him before heading towards Feicui Hutong.

Ye Song came at the right time. She was worried that no one would expose the fact that Governor Song had embezzled disaster relief funds, so this was the perfect opportunity for Ye Song to handle the matter.

And she has always been that poor little girl with no one to rely on.

This identity makes it very convenient for her to act.

The carriage stopped, and Ye Jintang, wearing a gauze hat, walked slowly into the courtyard.

Hearing the noise, Ye Song came out of the main house and saw Ye Jintang, who was wearing a white dress, a gauze hat, and had a slightly petite figure.

"Sixth sister is finally back. If you don't come back, I will go find you."

Ye Song walked forward with a smile.

"Meet the Third Brother."

Ye Jintang took off his gauze hat and walked forward to bow to Ye Song.

Ye Song in front of him was indeed a handsome man. With a height of 1.8 meters and a handsome face, he was very conspicuous standing in the crowd.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and went into the house together. As soon as they sat down, Ye Song said with a sad face, "Sixth Uncle and Sixth Aunt left in a hurry. I'm sorry that you have been wronged these days."

"The letter said that due to the epidemic, Uncle Six and Aunt Six were hastily cremated and there was no funeral. As a young man, I feel very sad."

"Before I came here, my grandmother told me to hold a funeral for Uncle Six and Aunt Six in Yuezhou City, and then let me take you back to the capital after it's over."

As he spoke, Ye Song's eyes turned slightly red, and if you didn't know better you would think he was very sad.

Ye Jintang on the side secretly complained that Ye Li was the sixth child in the family and was not a favored one, otherwise the second son of the Marquis of Danyang would not have only been a prefect, and he had been in that position for more than ten years without any promotion.

In the original novel, Ye Jintang and Ye Song only met twice when he was a teenager, once on the old marquis' birthday and once when the old marquis passed away.

We have only met twice in more than ten years, so it's impossible to force any relationship between us.

"Fourth brother, my parents have been dead for such a long time, there is no need to hold a funeral."

It was clear that the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion had no sincerity. Even if a funeral was to be held, it should be held in the capital. A decent funeral should be held for Magistrate Ye and Madam Wen, and the two should be buried in the Ye family's ancestral tomb.

We are going to hold a funeral for the two of them in Yuezhou, but there are no relatives or friends of the Ye family here, and there is no ancestral home of the Ye family. Who can we host the funeral for?

"I have already brought my parents' urns home. When I return to the capital someday, I will just take them with me. I believe my parents will understand my good intentions."

"That's fine too."

Ye Song responded and said no more about the matter. He changed the subject and asked about Ye Jintang's situation.

On the surface, Ye Jintang appeared gentle and answered every question, but in his heart he was actually madly complaining that Ye Song was a hypocrite.

She had already told him clearly that the urns of Ye Li and his wife were at home, but he was indifferent and didn't even think of burning incense for them.

Such people really have no humanity at all.

"Sixth sister, Uncle Six passed away suddenly. How did you manage the family business?"

Ye Jintang shook his head with red eyes.

"Besides the things I moved out, I'm not very clear about other properties. There's a shopkeeper named Wen at the silver shop who said he would help me sell my property. But the silver shop was sold and I didn't see any silver."

"Later, Manager Wen only left a letter saying that he was going back to the Wen family in Xingnan. Now he is nowhere to be found."

"And Governor Song. I was living well in the government office, but Governor Song told me that Governor Zhao would be taking office soon, so he asked me to move out. He only gave me one day to move, and I couldn't take most of the things in my house with me."

As she spoke, Ye Jintang's tears fell down. She held a handkerchief and cried quietly, her shoulders heaving, and she couldn't utter a word.

When it comes to acting, Ye Jintang has never been afraid of anyone. If it weren't for her good acting skills in her previous life, she would have been forced to death by those weird relatives long ago.

What she said was half true and half false. Ye Song clenched his fists secretly, wishing he could hack Manager Wen and Governor Song to death with a knife.

Before he came, he had thought that some people here might be eyeing Governor Ye's property. After all, the Ye family didn't have many relatives or friends in Yuezhou, and it would be difficult for a little girl like Ye Jintang to support the family.

But he didn't expect that this group of people would be so cruel as to swallow up all of Governor Ye's property.

When Nanny Liu went out just now, he looked around the entire courtyard. There were not many furnishings and furniture in the house, and the total value was only about one thousand and two taels of silver.

He just didn't believe that Ye Li, who had been the prefect for so many years, still had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in his hands.

Afterwards, Ye Song, under the pretext of showing concern for Ye Jintang, indirectly asked about the Ye family's property.

However, Ye Jintang was a girl from the inner house, so there was not much he could find out.

Ye Song donated money to become a fifth-rank official in the capital. Although it was a sinecure, it was much higher than the ninth-rank Governor Song.

Ye Song wanted to meet Governor Song, so he sent his servant to the Song family to tell Governor Song to come to Feicui Hutong to see him, as he had something to ask him.

In less than half an hour, Ye Song became the owner of the courtyard. He did not even ask Ye Jintang, but directly asked Madam Liu to sell all the items in the courtyard.

"Fourth brother, I want to keep a few of them as souvenirs."

Ye Jintang looked at Ye Song hesitantly.

"I'm going to take you to the capital. The journey is long, so I can't take any large furniture with me. But you can leave some small items, like a dressing box, as a keepsake for yourself."

"it is good."

Ye Jintang responded casually, feeling cold in his heart.

As he expected, Ye Song was only concerned about her family's property, and nothing else was within his consideration.

Fortunately, when she moved, she was careful and put all the valuable furniture in the space. The items she uses now are from the previous guest room.

"Madam Liu, please ask the servants to come over and see how much our furniture can be sold for."

"Sixth sister, you are a girl from the inner house, so let me do the things that are exposed to the public. You can pack up the valuables at home in the next few days, and we will set off in two days."

"it is good."
