Chapter 55 - Thick Skin

"Mother ... what about our Yin Yue? We can't just let her be a mute!" Chen said while wiping her tears.

"Old man!" Liu's lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted at the back of Jiang Zhengyi, "Yin Yue was mute by Ye Yuqi, that murderous dead girl, when we get to the next county, let's go in and settle down, and find a doctor to give Yin Yue a look."

"Dumb!" Jiang Justice's eyes widened at the words.

Jiang Chunsheng heard that his daughter was made mute by Ye Yuqi, and was furious as he waved his fist and slammed it on the oxcart's board.

"I say this master, you can't smash it, I've used this oxcart board for several years, if you keep smashing it, it will rot, not to mention, fifty Wen will still have to pay for it." The man driving the oxcart turned back and said loudly.

"Father, I will definitely not let that bitchy girl go!" Jiang Chunsheng withdrew his hand and said with a resentful face.

"Don't worry, when we get to the capital, I'll definitely have your big brother send someone to ruthlessly clean up the mother and daughter duo." Jiang Justice said in a deep voice.

"Father, I only have one daughter, Yin Yue, she can't become a mute ah, please father take her to see a doctor." Jiang Chunsheng said with red eyes.

"Good, wait until the front of the Weishui County, we find a place to land, and then look for a medical center, find a doctor to treat Yin Yue." Jiang Justice agreed without hesitation.

Although he is stingy, but also protect the shortcomings.

However, the people he protects never include Ye Yuqi and her mother and daughter.

Once upon a time, he felt that his son's early death despite his promising future was due to this mother and daughter duo, so he was very disgusted with them.

When he knew that his son was a fraudulent death, but also in the capital to marry a noblewoman, after the official, but also feel that Ye Yuqi and their mother and daughter became a stumbling block to his son's promotion, hate them to die.

From beginning to end, he did not treat the mother and daughter as family.

While the Jiang family was braving the scorching sun to catch up, Ye Yuqi and the others had just finished their lunch and entered the room Qi Zhixuan had had prepared for them to rest.

It was too hot outside to avoid heatstroke, so they had arranged to leave in two hours, so they could sleep at this moment and catch up more at night.

Ye Yuqi lay down on the couch, and after a few yawns, she was a little drowsy.

Ye Mengwen looked at her daughter's pretty little face and a smile appeared on her face.

The more she looked at her daughter now, the more she liked her, and she had a sense of satisfaction that a daughter in my family was growing up.

Just when Ye Mengwen also felt a little sleepy and wanted to close her eyes, the door was knocked gently.

"Who is it?" Ye Mengwen put on her shoes and walked to the door, lowering her voice to ask.

"Mother, it's me!" Qi Mujiu said in a low voice.

Ye Mengwen sniffed and looked at the bed, seeing that Ye Yuqi was sleeping soundly, so she went back to put on her clothes and skirt, casually arranged her hair in a bun, and opened the door to go out.

Ye Yuqi, who was already "asleep", suddenly opened her eyes.

Mother and Qi Mujiu get along very well these days, and the two of them sometimes even sneak out, such as going to sit by the Yang Liu River, going to climb the mountain, etc. She doesn't know exactly what they do.

She didn't know exactly what they did, anyway, her mother said that there was nothing between them.

Seeing her mother's reaction, she must have fallen in love with Qi Mujiu, but because of Qi Mujiu's special status, her mother was a little hesitant.

Ye Yuqi didn't think there was anything wrong, much less that Ye Mengwen wasn't good enough for Qi Mujiu.

Those worldly views are all bullshit to her.

Anyway, with her here, even if her mother became the real princess, so what?

Anyone who dared to touch a hair on her mother's head would be waiting to die.

Thinking about it, Ye Yuqi slowly closed her eyes and really fell asleep.

When she woke up again, Ye Mengwen was sitting by the window, combing her hair in the mirror.

"Yu Qi you're awake, quickly put your clothes on, come over here and I'll help you comb your hair." Ye Mengwen turned her head to look at her daughter and said with a smile.

"Good." Ye Yuqi nodded and quickly got up.

In the next room, Ye Huai Lan took a hundred taels of silver bills and handed them to Qi Zhi Xuan, saying with some urgency, "Mr. Qi, I don't know how much silver will be spent along the way, so take this hundred taels for now, and if it's not enough, we'll slowly return it to Mr. Qi in the future."

This was all the silver Ye Huai Lan could take out.

Before they left, they sold their fields, land and mansions, and raised a total of two hundred and fifty taels of silver, renting two carriages cost one hundred taels, and he left fifty taels of silver to his eldest grandson, Ye Qingze, because that child was going to the Prefecture to catch the examination, and had to leave some silver for him.

There were also a hundred taels that he gave to Qi Zhi Xuan.

He had arranged the accommodation and food in advance today, and said that he would arrange for the whole journey, so that they didn't have to worry.

But Ye Huai Lan just feel uneasy, they can not take advantage of others for nothing?

Ye Huai Lan also heard those guards sometimes called Qi Zhi Xuan "Prince", but sometimes called him "Prince".

This proves that Qi Zhi Xuan has a high status.

What about Qi Mujiu?

Don't look at the fact that he was an exiled prisoner before, but he was Qi Zhi Xuan's ninth uncle, Qi Zhi Xuan was the son of the world, and Qi Mujiu's status made them even more unattainable.

If they followed them, they would definitely reach the capital safe and sound, but after reaching the capital, everyone would have to go their separate ways.

They were just ordinary people, it was better not to get involved with these dignitaries.

"Lord Father-in-law, what are you doing? Quickly take the silver ticket back!" Qi Mujiu hurriedly shoved the hundred taels of silver tickets into Ye Huai Lan's hand.

"Yanchang, I know that you have been pardoned, although Mengwen didn't tell me the truth, I know that your identity is extraordinary, and that you were desperate before before, before you became our family's son-in-law."

"But ... I said when you got married, we each take what we need, and if you want to separate in the future, you will get together and separate, I asked Meng Wen, she and you do not have the reality of husband and wife, so ... wait until after you get to the Prefecture, you guys go to the Yamen, and make peace."

"Father-in-law knows that my identity is extraordinary, but also let Mengwen and I make peace, not the slightest climb to the heart of the powerful and noble, so honorable, when really let my son-in-law admire!"

Qi Mu Jiu rushed to Ye Huai Lan made a bow, a face of sincerity said: "small son-in-law desperate, is the father-in-law adults you took me in, you do not mind my exile sinner's identity, but also married his daughter to me, if not, I would have been starved to death, and now ... small son-in-law has been exonerated, of course, I will do everything I can, let the father in law you live a good life, father in law if you still put small son-in-law as self family, in the future do not talk about the matter of peace and departure."

"But ..." Ye Huai Lan was still worried after hearing his words.

Even Jiang Chunshu could throw away everything in order to soar, not only swindling his death and not contacting his relatives for many years, but also killing his wife and daughter for the sake of his future, not to mention these powerful people.

He was worried that Qi Mujiu would regret it later, and at that time, it would be his daughter who would be sad and upset.
