A flash of coldness crossed Ye Jingyan's handsome, scholarly face when he heard the first half of her sentence, but it vanished as quickly as it came. The second half, however, made him pause for a moment. "Sister, where do you want me to go?"
Ye Chutang explained succinctly, "She claims I drove Second Aunt to hang herself and that my crime is grave. So, I'd like to ask Shuntian Prefecture to investigate this thoroughly."
Hearing her say such a thing was utterly bizarre.
This was especially true for Ye Shixian. She knew perfectly well that if she didn't intervene now, things would go terribly wrong!
So, before Ye Jingyan could speak, she suddenly cried out, "Why go through all that trouble! Shaoyao! You go right now!"
Shaoyao's heart trembled. "M-Miss..."
But seeing Ye Shixian's resolute expression, she didn't ask again. With a quiet acknowledgement, she headed toward the Shuntian Prefecture government office.
