Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

The next day, Ye Chongjin woke up. She was fed a bowl of hangover soup by Anshi last night, and her head was still clear.

He stretched out comfortably, called out, and a few maids got into the inner room and said, "Master, you're awake, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Chongjin just shook his head and asked, "How did I get back?"

Qiu Zi smiled and said: "The master was so drunk last night that he was carried back by the eldest son. His whole body smelled of alcohol. Madam was so frightened that she even trained the eldest son."

Thinking of her mother, Ye Chongjin secretly broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that she would be nagged a few times when she turned around.

He put on shoes and socks, and only wore a thin layer of clothes, and opened a side window. It was March in Yangchun, and outside the window was a scene full of flowers and full of spring.

Xia He put a cloak over his shoulders and said, "Master, be careful not to catch a cold."

Ye Chongjin nodded, watching the colorful butterflies fluttering in the flowers, and whispered softly: "It turns out that a year has passed, time flies so fast."

It has been a whole year since that man came back from Saibei and ascended the throne as emperor.

Xia He heard his words, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "My servant has seen the master grow from a half-grown child to a handsome young man, and I also feel that time passes quickly."

Ye Chongjin said: "Sister Xia He is no different from before, as if she will never grow old."

Xia He leaned back slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Miao Zan, there is no one who can't grow old. Every time I look at the young and beautiful girls who come to the courtyard, I really envy them."

Qiu Zi said: "Sister Xia He was joking, among us, who is as beautiful as my sister?"

The girls joked with each other, and Ye Chongjin smiled and said: "The people in my son's yard are naturally beauties, so don't be humble and flatter each other."

Only then did they stop and wash and change clothes for him.

Because he drank wine last night, today's decoction was added with some medicine, Ye Chongjin drank it bitterly, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the door.

"Hold on, Lord Hou, our master is having breakfast..."

Ye Chongjin was taken aback, put down the bowl and spoon and went out to take a look. The person who was stopped outside the house was Lu Lin with a murderous look on his face.

Ye Chongjin frowned unconsciously. Lu Lin looked like he was about to kill someone. He asked, "I don't know why Lord Hou is here, why?"

Lu Lin said in a deep voice, "Where is Yan'er?"

Ye Chongjin wondered: "Master Hou's words are strange, and I didn't hide Ziyan, how can I ask for someone?"

Lu Lin's face was even more ugly. He was silent for a long time, then turned and left.

Ye Chongjin quickly caught up and said, "Hold on, Lord Hou, Ziyan didn't go back last night?"

Lu Lin said: "The Marquis asked the people in Prince Sheng's Mansion, and they all said that the servants of the Ye family escorted Yan'er back to the mansion last night, but he didn't come back all night. The Second Young Master Ye thought that this Marquis should find someone to ask for someone."

Ye Chongjin looked a little more serious.

"Don't be impatient, Lord Hou. I was very drunk last night. It was arranged by my brother. I will send someone to ask about it."

Lu Lin calmed down a little, and said, "There is the second son Lao, I will take someone to look for it elsewhere first, if there is any news, please go to the Hou's mansion and let me know."

Ye Chongjin nodded.

After Lu Lin left, Ye Chongjin said to the boy in the yard: "Go and invite my brother back, hurry up."

"Yes."

Xia He said: "Master, is Master Lu missing?"

Ye Chongjin glanced back at her, tilted his head and smiled, raised his hand and sent the others out.

Sitting on the Arhat bed, he looked at the maid in a pink dress and asked softly, "Sister Xia He, tell me, where is Ziyan now?"

Xia He was slightly startled, shook his head and said: "Master, I don't know."

Ye Chongjin took a sip of tea by himself, and there was a streamer in his eyes, as if he was hiding sadness.

"Sister Xia He, how could she not know? Wasn't my sister at Prince Sheng's Mansion last night? Over the years, every time I encountered danger, it was Sister Xia He who secretly protected me. That time I was thrown into Longzhi Mountain by Princess Ancheng. The big cat led me to run around without seeing any beasts on the road, but there was a very faint smell of blood, didn't someone clean it up in advance because they were afraid that we would be attacked."

Xia He said: "Even if someone secretly protects the master, it must be someone from His Majesty, or someone sent by the lord. How could the master doubt the servant..."

Ye Chongjin said: "A few days ago, someone found a corpse in the abandoned dry well in the outer courtyard. Looking at the clothes, it should be a maid from the outer courtyard. Spring is here, sister Xia He, why haven't I heard you mention spring in these years?" , I remember that you had a good relationship at that time, she was driven away by me, but you never pleaded for her, did you know she was dead?"

Xia He said: "The master once said that he never wants to see Chun Yi again, but the slaves just dare not disobey the master's wishes."

Ye Chongjin smiled and sighed: "Sister Xia He, I believe what others say, but you, you are never afraid to talk back to me. And do you know that beside Chunyi's corpse, besides her own clothes, there are also There is one other thing."

Xia He's complexion finally changed slightly, she frowned and asked, "I don't know what it is."

Ye Chongjin said: "It's just a sachet with a crooked lotus flower embroidered on the front. It's just that Ah Jin has such a good memory. After many years, sister Xia He learned embroidery for the first time. I actually remember the brocade bag embroidered clearly." Clearly."

"master……"

Ye Chongjin said: "I was really drunk last night, but when my brother asked you, I still had a little consciousness. His words reminded me that a person's disguise is so good that he can change his body shape, voice, and appearance." , but the smell cannot be concealed, so it can only be suppressed with other smells, but the smell is too strong, and it is easy to show whereabouts, which is especially bad for people who haunt in the dark, so every time I see Song Yi, he has a lot of smells on him. Heavy frost and dew breath."

The woman on the opposite side finally stopped arguing, and when she opened her mouth, it was the man's indifferent voice.

"Master is really smart in ice and snow. The smell of frost and dew can cover up Xuebai Qi for a while. After staying outside for too long last night, the Eldest Young Master still noticed it."

Ye Chongjin asked: "Chunyi must die, isn't your friendship with her all fake?"

Xia He said: "There is no friendship in the eyes of subordinates, only loyalty, and those who are unfavorable to the master can only be relieved by eliminating them."

Ye Chongjin looked at "her", that once lively and beautiful face, now only remained dull and cold-blooded.

The temperament of the same person can have such a big contrast.

He closed his eyes, stopped looking at this unrecognizable person, and asked, "Where is Ziyan now?"

The man replied: "Anjia, there should be a secret room hidden under the Anjia. It's not clear how to get in. It's just that the people sent by the eldest son to escort Mr. Lu have all been killed and their corpses destroyed."

Ye Chongjin nodded, this was expected.

The master and servant were silent for a long time, and neither of them spoke first.

Ye Chongjin knew of his existence long ago, and was willing to accept his existence, otherwise he would not have given him the name "Song Yi". For him, the surname "Song" is already a sign of his own people.

But he couldn't accept it. The lively, sincere, kind and lovely Xia He has always been Song Yi.It was like, his sister Xia He was killed alive in front of him, it was extremely cruel.

Ye Chongjin clenched her fists secretly, and said in a low voice: "Chunyi is certainly wrong, but the crime is not to die for. If you kill her, you should be punished."

The man said: "As long as you can stay with the master, the subordinates are willing to be punished."

Ye Chongjin turned his eyes away, and said calmly: "Killing will pay for life, Chun Yi is dead, let Xia He pay for life."

Song Yi lowered his eyes and answered.He never cared about life and death.

"I will arrange a new identity for you. From now on, you will be Song Yi, and there will be no Xia He in the world."

"Thank you, master, for your grace."

========

"Um……"

Lu Ziyan opened his eyes wide, looking at the dazzling jewels in front of him, he felt that he might have time-traveled again.

Could it be that he was too fond of money to have such a sweet dream? He pinched himself hard and grinned in pain, but it wasn't a dream.

"woke up?"

A question suddenly sounded in his ears, he turned his head, and met a pair of gentle eyes, the man was wearing a purple shirt, sitting in a wheelchair, his face was full of concern.

"You drank a lot of wine last night, I asked someone to feed you hangover soup."

Lu Ziyan nodded and said with a smile: "You are Ah Jin's cousin, thank you for taking me in last night, but I am awake now, can you take me home?"

An Qiming smiled lightly, and said, "What kind of family is the Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion?"

Lu Ziyan frowned, and said: "My only relative in this world is in the Hou's Mansion, of course it is my home."

"The only relative..."

An Qiming murmured softly, shook his head, and said, "Ziyan, your only relative is not in the Hou's mansion, but in front of you. What kind of relative is Lu Lin? With a dirty mind, that beast, from now on, you don't want to see him again."

Lu Ziyan finally corrected his expression, and said slowly: "I think you misunderstood something. For me, relatives have nothing to do with blood relationship. Lu Lin raised me with porridge and rice, no matter how naughty or annoying I am, He never thought of abandoning me. He treats me wholeheartedly. He is my relative. As for the dirty thoughts you mentioned, I actually provoked him first. I forced him to like me. Don't treat me as a nephew. I beg He loves me and treats me like his wife, I even drugged him and recommended himself as a pillow..."

Before he finished speaking, An Qiming grabbed his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Enough is enough, don't say any more."

Lu Ziyan said: "Why can't I say it? Those are all from my heart. I am such a brazen person. In the eyes of others, I am deviant and not tolerated by the world. Only Lu Lin tolerates everything about me and my shortcomings. It's good in his eyes."

An Qiming said in a deep voice: "You are still too young, Lu Lin has a deep mind, you can't beat him at all, you fell into a trap without knowing it, only your relatives will never harm you."

"Dear one? Are you my elder brother? I suspected it before, your eyes are too similar to mine."

An Qiming said: "These eyes are inherited from my mother. She and her father were both forced to death by the Gu family. In order to keep the last trace of blood between you and me, you can't imagine how many people sacrificed. On your shoulders and my family's hatred, we can no longer help ourselves to make decisions."

He couldn't understand a word about the Chen family, or the country's hatred and family feud, and he didn't want to understand it. If he wanted to return to Lu Lin, his uncle would definitely protect him.

Lu Ziyan got up from the bed, got out of bed, and said, "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me."

Suddenly, two men in black appeared in front of them, blocking the way.

An Qiming said slowly, "I said before, you can't make up your own mind."
