The next morning, Ye Shuhua went to Zhongyong Hall to discuss matters as usual.

Song Ruoxi finished handling the common affairs of the Yuanzhong in Rongqing Hall. When he returned to Shuyuyuan, Ye Shuting had already come and brought a needlework basket, which contained an unfinished embroidery piece.

"Sister Ting is going to compete with me for needlework?" Song Ruoxi asked with a smile.

"I embroidered this table screen to give it to my elder brother as a birthday gift. I am afraid that my elder brother will not like it, so I want my elder sister to help me see it." Ye Shuting said shyly.

The maids spread the embroidery, and the five boys dolls were drawn on it and crawled on the Maitreya Buddha to play. Song Ruoxi smiled and said, "The five boys are making trouble for Maitreya, your brother will definitely like it. The embroidery is so good, I like it too. When will you embroider one for me?"

"As long as my sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, I will embroider one for my sister-in-law when this is done." Ye Shuting said happily.

"How could I dislike it? I can't ask for it!" Song Ruoxi smiled, "Don't go back on your word."

Ye Shuting took out the golden thread from the basket and asked with a smile: "What kind of pattern do my sister-in-law like?"

"Everything is OK, I like everything you embroidered." Song Ruoxi was not picky.

Ye Shuting's eyes turned and she smiled sly: "Then I will embroider a Qilin to send her to my sister-in-law."

"It is better to embroider the qilin to give birth to a noble son than to embroider the qilin to give birth to a noble son." Song Ruoxi raised his eyebrows, without any shyness.

Ye Shuting was kind and nodded, "Then I will listen to my sister-in-law, Xiu Lian gave birth to a noble son."

"The young lady is a lucky person. She will definitely give birth to a noble son in a row, and five sons will pass the imperial examination." Ouyang said with a smile.

Xiang Xiu smiled and said, "Miss Ting, Xiu Wuzi is the best to pass the imperial examination!"

Others also agreed.

Song Ruoxi knew that the ancients valued having more children and more blessings, but was the requirement of having five children in a row? Is this a little too high? He was under a lot of pressure and asked, "Everyone, I'm not a sow!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, covered their mouths and started to laugh.

The fifth son passed the imperial examination, also known as Jinyu Mantang, is embroidered by a big pig leading a group of piglets to play happily, which means that the fifth son passed the imperial examination, and the six animals prospered.

The atmosphere in Shuyu Courtyard is relaxed, but Zhongyong Hall is completely opposite.

After nightfall yesterday, Ye Xiaoshu was shocked to hear that a few days ago, more than 500 killers were poisoned overnight. Such a cruel thing was definitely not what Ye Shuhua did, but his father! His father already knew that he had done privately and had not had any attacks for so many days. There should be no definite evidence to prove him. But Wen Shu had been arrested and he would confess after not long after. By then...

Ye Xiaoshun remembered the torture of the clan's prison, shivered, sat in the study without sleeping all night, suffering until dawn, picked up a pen and wrote the "self-crime statement", presented it in court at the morning meeting, kowtowed and said, "Father, son deserves to die for death."

Ye Fan looked at the "self-crime" with complicated eyes. Although the position of the city lord was passed down to the legitimate and not the legitimate son, he valued the legitimate son and loved the legitimate son, but he did not mean that he wanted the legitimate son to die. As a father, the palms and backs of his hands were flesh. After a long silence, he said, "Shuhua, this matter is left to you to deal with."

"Yes, father." Ye Shuhua stepped forward and took over the "self-crime" with both hands.

In his own guilt, Ye filial piety and honestly wrote down what he did over the years. However, he did not know that the Prince Mo who cooperated with him was Chen Xin, the Dongbi Hou of Heguo, and did not mention the murder of Ye Shuhua in Qingyuan.

"How did you know this young master Mo?" Ye Shuhua asked.

"Mr. Mo is a grain merchant and salt merchant in Heguo. He has done several business with my father-in-law and gradually became familiar with him. He wants to monopolize the entire salt transportation in Heguo and do his own business."

"Do you know where he is now?" Ye Shuhua asked knowingly.

"After the failure of Amitabha Temple, he left without saying goodbye and did not know where to go."

"How can I contact him?"

"Transfer messages with flying pigeons."

Ye Shuhua asked about some details and temporarily detained Ye Xiaoshu in a secret prison in the city.

When Ye Xiaoshu had an accident, the crazy man became Mrs. Li. Like Ming, he forced him to die and broke into Wenlan Pavilion. "City Lord, Shun'er would not do this. Someone must have framed him. It must be the young city lord. He used heavy punishment and Shun'er was beaten up by the young city lord. The city lord..."

"Shut up!" Ye Fan shouted angrily, "It was him who confessed himself to "confession of guilt". No one used severe punishment to force him and frame him."

Mrs. Li rushed to Ye Fan and wanted to hold his legs. Ye Fan took a step back. She pounced on the ground and wailed, "City Lord, I am the only son. You are so pitiful, please spare him!"

Ye Fan sneered and raised Mrs. Li's chin with her toes, "You know what he did, right?"

A hint of panic flashed in Mrs. Li's eyes with tears in her tears, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't know. If I knew, I would definitely stop him."

"Do you know that when you lie, you will call yourself me, not a concubine?" Ye Fan looked at her coldly, "You have lost your morals and have no virtue and will not teach you, so you will let him commit the murderous act of brothers and sisters. From now on, you will be demoted to a slave concubine, and you will never be allowed to leave."

"No!" Mrs. Li screamed, feeling no more hope, her eyes turned dark and she fainted.

Mrs. Li was dragged into the alley.

Mrs. Xiao Bin saw Mrs. Li's fate and completely stopped her son's desire to fight for the throne.

After dealing with Ye Xiaoshuhua's case, it was late at night when he came back. Seeing that the lights in the west room were still on, he frowned slightly, "Why is the young lady still not sleeping so late? Don't you know how to persuade her?"

"Why didn't I persuade you? Then the young lady must listen to me." Xiang Xiu smiled helplessly.

"No need to report." Ye Shuhua stopped Qinghe who was about to report, pushed the door straight and walked in. He saw Song Ruoxi sitting in front of the desk, lowering his head, concentrating on outlining something, "It's so late, if you don't sleep, what are you drawing here?"

Song Ruoxi was startled by his voice, raised his eyes, glared at him with a angrily, and said, "If you don't come in, you will not be informed. You have scared me."

"You are too careful, and the notification will scare you." Ye Shuhua walked over with a smile.

When Song Ruoxi saw him coming, he quickly put away the paper on the desk.

Ye Shuhua was surprised and asked, "What did you draw? Can't you show it to me?"

"No." Song Ruoxi shook his head.

Ye Shuhua didn't think it was offended and looked at her with a smile, "So mysterious?"

"Hmm." Song Ruoxi raised his eyebrows and put the paper into the drawer. "We go back to the room to have a midnight snack. I'm hungry. Are you hungry?"

"Hungry, I didn't even eat much supper." Ye Shuhua was busy interrogating and took a few casual bites.

"Although doing things is important, you have to eat food. You can't do this in the future, as it will ruin your body." Song Ruoxi touched his face, "I don't want a thin monkey to be my husband."

"I won't be as thin as a monkey." Ye Shuhua laughed, took her hand, and returned to the main room.

The herbs brought the midnight snack, which was made with green japonica millet porridge and a few easy-to-digest side dishes.

Song Ruoxi personally brought the porridge to him and said, "It's getting late, eating something that is easy to cure. If you accumulate food, it's not good for your health."

After having a midnight snack, after washing up, the two of them leaned against the bed and talked.

Ye Shuhua held Song Ruoxi in his arms, "Everything was done by my second brother. Now he has done it. No one will come to deal with us anymore. It will be safe in the future. If you want to go outside the city, you can go out at any time."

"Can I really go outside the city?" Song Ruoxi asked in surprise.

"You can't go alone, you have to bring your maids and guards."

"If you know, don't worry, I'm not a person who doesn't know the importance of it."

Ye Shuhua lowered her head and kissed her forehead.

Song Ruoxi found a comfortable position on his shoulder, closed his eyes, "Late at night, let's sleep."

Ye Shuhua knew that she was tired last night, so she smiled and slowly closed her eyes.

The night is as cool as water, and the sky is full of stars. In a large mansion in the city, there is a lonely lamp, and the light is dim, and there are three people sitting under the lamp.

"Mr. Mo's move was indeed brilliant. Ye Xiaoshuhua must have thought it was safe. If we relax our guard, we can wait for an opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop." A slightly old voice said coldly.

"Ye Xiaoshuo Shun, he thought Mr. Mo was helping him." The sharp voice was filled with gloating.

"You must find a good opportunity to assassinate Ye Shuhua. You must hit it with one blow. If you fail, it will arouse his suspicion and things will be difficult to handle." Cang's voice said.

"The killers and death soldiers raised are useless. This time, we spend a lot of money to ask the top five people on the killers list to assassinate him, and he will definitely not be able to escape." His voice was a little hoarse.

"On the first day of September, Ye Shuhua celebrated his birthday, which was a good opportunity." said in a sharp voice.

"Just let him live for a few more months, and his birthday will become his death." Cang's voice said fiercely.

After the discussion, the candlelight was extinguished, everything fell into darkness, and nothing seemed to happen.

Ye's crime of filial piety has been revealed to the world, and there is nothing to hide from Ming'an and Wen's son, so they confessed one by one. Ye Shuhua presented their confessions to Ye Fan, and Ye Fan made a judgment.

Alum and Wen Zhu were the first offenders, and they were killed immediately and were immediately dragged to Caishikou and chopped their heads.

When Ming heard the news, he fainted.

Other accomplices are punished according to the city law. Adult men may either go to the salt well to serve hard labor or go to the weapon kiln to serve hard labor. Underage men may go to the Wenfang as slaves.

The female family members of each family either entered the sect and became a traitor, or entered the Xinshi as a maid.

As for Ye's filial piety, Ye Fan thought of the father-son relationship and did not kill him. As Ye Xiaoliang expected, he exiled his family of five to Wei Island and returned home without any loss.

Ye Xiaoshun was escorted to Yu Island, Ye Xiaoliang was about to set off.

That day, when I woke up in the morning, Song Ruoxi smelled a strange smell, wrinkled his nose and asked, "Where does such an unpleasant smell come from?"

"This year, the Grain Rain is at the beginning of the month, and the wet nurse leads people to sprinkle vinegar and medicine powder in the house." Ye Shuhua said.

"Why do you need to sprinkle vinegar and medicinal powder?" Song Ruoxi didn't understand this custom.

"People rumor that if Grain Rain is at the beginning of the month, there will be diseases and pests and diseases. Sprinkle vinegar and medicine powder can prevent the occurrence of disasters." Ye Shuhua explained.

Song Ruoxi suddenly realized and didn't say much, but the smell made her feel uncomfortable. After breakfast, she went out with Ye Shuhua to see Ye Xiaoliang off.
