Chapter 1317: The One Engraved in My Mind

ed Xunluo and others to distribute all the gunpowder in the manor among their brothers.That night, everyone in the Northern Frontier Wangfu couldn't sleep.Best of all, after a night had passed, the pa...The carriage, traveling smoothly along the road, suddenly came to a halt. Moreover, the two men seated outside the carriage, who looked rather menacing, even drew their swords.

This action instantly terrified the surrounding commoners.

Even extremely timid women, terrified of losing their lives, screamed.

Such a big reaction naturally drew the people in the upper private rooms to peek out and see what was going on.

And the woman who had been standing by the window turned around at that moment. Seeing Ye Er's face, she was stunned for a moment. After reacting, she gave Ye Er a slight nod and then closed the window with her own hands.

After Ye Er came to her senses, she hastily lowered the curtain and told the coachman to continue on his way.

But this time, the carriage didn't head straight back to the Ye residence. Instead, it circled several times before finally turning into an alleyway.

One of his subordinates looked around, seeing nothing amiss before turning to Ye Er and saying, "Sir, with all the tails out of the way, we can come out now."

Having said that, Ye Er only then came out of the carriage. At this moment, he had changed into an unassuming civilian outfit. He had given his official robe to another subordinate and said, "Change into this and go back to the mansion first."

"Yes."

Ye Er turned and ran, his eager appearance was something they had never seen before. Having followed Ye Er for some time, they had never seen their master so anxious.

The coachman and one of his men returned to Ye Mansion first. Ye Er only took the other man with him to the street they had just been on.

Both of them were dressed in plain clothes and went unnoticed as they walked down the street. Ye Er hurried up to the second floor of a restaurant.

He looked at the closed door of the private room and raised his hand as if to knock, but then, for some unknown reason, he suddenly put his hand down and took a deep breath.

The men following him had a confused look in their eyes. They wanted to ask their master what was wrong, but when they saw their master seriously looking down at his clothes and even adjusting his hair, they held back.

He instantly felt like he knew what was going on, but adults' minds were ever-changing, and he didn't dare to guess randomly. Right now, he could only remain silent and lower his head as if lowering his head would make him unable to feel the tension of his parents.

After taking several deep breaths outside the door, Ye Er waited until she had calmed her nerves before raising her hand to knock.

The people in the private room seemed to be waiting anxiously, as soon as the door was knocked on, it was immediately flung open.

Seeing that it was indeed Ye Er who had arrived, the maidservant's eyes lit up slightly. She looked towards Xiao Qin who stood in the private room, "My Lady, Lord Ye is here."

Xiao Qin was also willing to take a gamble. In her eyes, she and Ye Er, and between her and the Ye family, there were several lives separating them. Given her relationship with him, they could actually be considered enemies.

So she wasn't sure if Ye Er would really come up, but seeing him here in person now, her heart truly leaped with excitement for a moment.

Xiao Qin walked toward the door, "Lord Ye, would you be willing to come in for a few words"

Ye Er nodded slightly, his expression was quite calm. He walked in leisurely, but if one looked closely, his hands behind him were slightly clenched, and his palms were sweating.

His subordinates behind him also wanted to follow in, but he stopped them promptly, saying, "You stay here and guard the door."

He hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yes."

Xiao Qin also had her maid leave the private room. She gestured to Ye Er, "Please sit down, Lord Ye."

Ye Er was pretending to be calm at this moment. As soon as he sat down, he placed his sweaty hands on his knees and wiped them, afraid that Xiao Qin would notice anything amiss.

After Ye Er sat down, Xiao Qin also sat down. The two faced each other. Perhaps both knew their identities, in this world anyone could be connected, only her and him, from any angle, were the least likely to be connected.

Their relationship was so complicated that they hadn't expected to find themselves in this situation, sitting face-to-face in a private room.

On the one hand, Xiaoqin accidentally killed Ye Xiaoming, Ye Er's brother, in the past.

Secondly, even though Xiaoqin was an enemy of the Ye family, the Ye family surprisingly requested that Xiaoqin marry into their family. They then set a wedding date for her and Ye Er.

The Ye family actually wanted to torture Xiaoqin instead of letting her die. They thought it would be more interesting than just killing her, so they took her into the Ye family and slowly tormented her.

So, all these years, Xiaoqin and Ye Er have actually been a couple who haven't gotten married.

But such a marital relationship was only torment for Xiaoqin, after all, all these years her heart belonged only to Qingyang Jiang, her childhood sweetheart.

Because she was in love with Jiang Qingyang, she took such drastic action when the Ye family came to propose marriage that year, even causing Ye Xiaoming to die at her hands.

So she always knew that the Ye family wanted her to marry Ye Er, not out of genuine affection, but because they wanted to bring her into the fold and then slowly settle scores.

In her heart, she had always been an enemy of the Ye family. As for her marriage to Ye Er, she had never given it much thought. She only knew that if she didn't want to die or be tortured, she couldn't marry into the Ye family.

Had it not been for the help of the Northern Xinjiang Princess later on, she would have likely already entered the Ye family and been tortured beyond recognition.

But all these years, she had only been afraid of Ye Xiaoming's mother and had never seriously thought about marrying Ye Er.

After all, Ye Er was a mute and simple-minded. She seemed to have never truly looked at him as a person.

So when Ye Er suddenly appeared and rescued her from Jiang Qingyang’s grasp shortly after, she didn't know how to face him anymore. It was as if she had just met Ye Er for the first time.

Her impression of Ye Er was still stuck on: sickly, silly, mute, and so on.

At the moment he appeared to save her, she didn't know how to describe her feelings for him.

But after Ye Er disregarded past grievances and saved her from Jiang Qingyang, she could see very clearly that Ye Er was indeed a good person. Her own grievances with the Ye family, if anyone else had been related to them, they wouldn't have reached out to save her.

But Ye Er saved her. Even though he was weak, he still saved her from Jiang Qingyang's hands.

So whenever she saw Ye Er, she felt even more uncomfortable. After all, after becoming betrothed to Ye Er, she knew that after serving her filial piety in the Ye family, she would definitely marry Ye Er. In fact, countless times in her heart, she had fantasized... how wonderful it would be if Ye Er suddenly died.

With only Ye Er left in the Ye family, she had countless times thought over the past three years: If Ye Er died, would her marriage to the Ye family be considered void

Then would she be able to get rid of the Ye family

It was precisely because of her previous vicious thoughts that she felt even more guilty after Ye Er forgave her and saved her.

For all these reasons, she now felt ashamed whenever she saw Ye Er and couldn't bear to look him in the eye. Mo Yunjing smiled this time and didn't make things difficult for her. "Good."Then I'll be going. You read your book well, okay I'll have someone wait for you outside. Just call them if you need anyth...
