After leaving the city gate, the carriage turned to the bustling streets of the inner city. Song Ruoxi insisted on getting off the bus, with sufficient reasons, "Of course you have to use it when shopping. Sitting in the car to watch, that's not called shopping, that's called taking a quick look, and there's no meaning at all."

Ye Shuhua went out to the streets to make her happy, so she naturally would not disturb her intentions. She helped her get off the carriage and accompanied her along the bustling stream of people. There were many shops on the street, and there were a wide range of goods on the stalls on the street. From time to time, hawkers shouted and bargained.

Song Ruoxi was very interested in the things he bought at the stalls on the roadside, such as clay dolls, grass-woven grasshoppers, bamboo fruit baskets, wooden-carved pen holders, various gadgets and snacks. He picked a lot of them all.

As long as it was something Song Ruoxi was interested in, Ye Shuhua would pay the bill without saying a word. Only half of the street had passed, not only Xiangxiu and the four of them were full of things, but even Ziwen and the other two were not empty.

Song Ruoxi stood in front of a small stall selling strange stones, and was about to reach out to get the stone that looked like fat when a shout suddenly came, "Catch her, grab her, and grab the female thief in front of him."

Hearing the shouts, everyone turned their heads and looked over. A dirty woman ran over from the other end of the street, and two men were chasing her from behind. Passers-by heard the shouts and prepared to help catch people, but the woman's movements were very flexible, and she was hiking around in the crowd, unable to slid, and passers-by couldn't catch her at all.

Seeing the woman running towards her, Ye Shuhua took two steps forward and used a gripping hand to catch the woman.

The woman was grabbed with her hands, screamed loudly, struggled a few times, and found that she could not break free. She turned around and stared at Ye Shuhua fiercely, and shouted in surprise: "Young City Lord save me, Young City Lord save me."

The woman's face was covered in mud and oily, and her hair was as messy as thatched. Ye Shuhua couldn't recognize her, "Who are you?"

The woman said anxiously: "I am Yan'er, I am Jiang Yan'er."

When Song Ruoxi heard this name, he suddenly remembered the letter written by Zhou Siyi that Jiang Yan'er had elopement with someone. He walked over and looked at her up and down, "Are you really Jiang Yan'er? Why are you here?"

"I...I..." Jiang Yan'er thought of what she had experienced in the past few months, and she didn't say anything, sorrow arose from her heart. Tears instantly burst out from her eyes, and the tears that had fallen rushed out of black and white traces.

Ye Shuhua let go of Jiang Yan'er, took two steps back, and stood beside Song Ruoxi.

At this time, the two men chasing her from behind arrived and bowed to Ye Shuhua, saying, "Thank you, my son, for helping us catch this female thief."

Jiang Yan'er hid beside Ye Shuhua, shrank her head and looked at the two men with a timid look. After several months of hardship, she had already known each other and no longer had the spoiledness of the past.

"Two, I know this girl. I wonder what she took you?" Ye Shuhua asked politely. From the perspective of in-laws, she is his niece. Since she meets her, she cannot stand by and watch.

Seeing Ye Shuhua was so majestic, luxuriously dressed, and with female family members and guards around him, the two men did not dare to be too arrogant, and bowed, "This woman, she stole the wallet of my second son."

Ye Shuhua looked down at Jiang Yan'er, "Why are you stealing?"

"I'm hungry and I don't have the money to buy something to eat." Jiang Yan'er said.

"Where is the wallet? I will give it to others." Ye Shuhua said.

Jiang Yan'er handed out the purse that she was holding tightly in her hand.

"Two, please see if there is less money in it?"

The two men took the purse, opened it and looked at it. The silver and silver notes were there, but there were not many. They could not confirm and said, "Young Master, this is the purse of my second son. We don't know how much silver we have."

"Where is your second son now?" Ye Shuhua asked.

While speaking, a big fat man panting in from the crowd watching, holding a shiny pig elbow in his hand and asked, "Did you chase it back?"

"Second Young Master, the purse is recovered." The man who took the purse handed the purse to the fat man, "It was this young master who helped catch it."

The fat man looked at Ye Shuhua and laughed. He stuffed the pig's elbow into the man's hand, rubbed the oil on his hand on his sleeve, hugged his two fat hands together, and said, "Mr. Ye, long time no see, are you okay?"

"Are you?" Ye Shuhua's tone hesitated, obviously unable to recognize who the fat man in a grass-green brocade robe with eyes, nose and mouth were squeezed together.

The fat man reminded him: "I am Chen Yin, and we have met several times in Jinglian Temple."

Chen Yin!

Chen Mo's younger brother.

Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi were both surprised, but they didn't expect to meet him here.

The passers-by saw that they knew each other and it was easy to resolve. There was no excitement to watch, and they all dispersed.

Seeing Ye Shuhua staring at him with a look of defense, Chen Yin smiled and said, "Young Master Ye, I have heard of my elder brother's actions. I know that Young Master Ye suspects that I have a different purpose in coming to Yingcheng."

Ye Shuhua's eyes flashed slightly, and she pursed her lips and said nothing, accusing him of his suspicion of Chen Yin.

"Young Master Ye, please rest assured that I am not him. He is greedy and powerful. I like delicious food. Although we are brothers, we have different ideas and do not make plans. He is now his Dongbi Hou in He Kingdom, and I am high above. I travel around and eat my delicious food, free and easy. This time I came to Yingcheng for the Huanhua Banquet on April 19th. If this small accident had not happened, I would not have met the streets with Mr. Ye." Chen Yin cleared his relationship with Chen Mo.

"Mr. Chen Second Master, this Miss Jiang encountered a little accident. Unfortunately, she was wandering on the street. She had no choice but to steal your wallet because she was hungry. Now that the wallet has already returned to the original owner, I would like to ask you to have a lot of it. Don't bother with her." Song Ruoxi didn't want to have too much involvement with Chen Yin. He said it well. Who knows if it is true. Explain Jiang Yan'er's affairs clearly and go their own way.

"This is a small matter, I won't care about it." Chen Yin laughed.

"Miss Jiang, thank you Mr. Chen for your generous pride." Song Ruoxi Road.

Instead of listening to Song Ruoxi's words, Jiang Yan'er walked out to thank Chen Yin, but leaned against Ye Shuhua. Her little movement made Song Ruoxi very unhappy, and her face hidden under the veil was slightly dark.

"No need to thank you, no need to thank you." Chen Yin smiled and bowed again, "I won't disturb the elegant atmosphere of the couple, and there will be a date later."

Seeing Chen Yin leading the two followers away, Ye Shuhua gave Ziwen a wink. Ziwen and Ziwu understood and handed over the things to Zishi and Ziri, and followed them away.

Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi took Jiang Yan'er into a small pasta shop on the roadside. When the shop saw Jiang Yan'er look like a beggar, they didn't want her to go in. Qinghe gave the shop five taels of silver, so they had to enter.

Jiang Yan'er was hungry and didn't care about the dining etiquette. As soon as she served the noodles, she grabbed the chopsticks and started eating. After eating a bowl, she said, "I want another bowl."

When Jiang Yan'er took the second bowl of noodles, Song Ruoxi looked at Ye Shuhua. Seeing that he had no intention of asking, the corners of his lips raised slightly and asked, "Miss Jiang, what are your plans in the future?"

Jiang Yan'er lowered her head and said nothing.

Song Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "We can send someone to send you back to Qingyuan."

"I won't go back to Qingyuan." Jiang Yan'er said sharply.

"Where are you going if you don't go back to Qingyuan?" Song Ruoxi asked with a frown.

Jiang Yan'er looked up at Ye Shuhua, "Young City Lord, I am young and ignorant, I believe in slander, and ran away from home. Now I am wandering on the streets and have nowhere to go. Please take me in. I am willing to serve you as a slave and a maid. I don't ask for anything else, I just want three meals a day, and live a life of food and clothing."

"We are not short of people to serve, not to mention your previous identity, I am afraid that you can't do anything to serve people." Song Ruoxi curled his lips and sneered.

"Young City Lord, I really have no way out. If you don't take me in, I will have only one way out." Jiang Yan'er said sadly.

"If you insist on not returning to Qingyuan and want to stay in Dengying City, I can help you register and change your name and start over, but do you have a way to make a living?" Song Ruoxi had no good feelings for Jiang Yan'er. Seeing that she fell to her current field, she not only knew how to restrain herself, but also dared to seduce men. Her eyes were slightly dark and she asked with a sarcastic expression.

"Young City Lord." Jiang Yan'er ignored Song Ruoxi and looked at Ye Shuhua with a sad look. However, her face was covered with mud and oil, and she couldn't show her pitiful and charming appearance, but she seemed to be an ugly person who was making trouble.

Ye Shuhua didn't even look at Jiang Yan'er from the corner of his eyes, and only Song Ruoxi sitting opposite him was in his eyes.

Song Ruoxi coughed lightly and signaled him to speak.

Ye Shuhua put down the teacup in his hand and said, "What my wife said is what I mean."

"You..." Jiang Yan'er seemed to have suffered a great grievance and covered her face and cried, "You guys are so cruel."

Song Ruoxi was extremely disgusted with Jiang Yan'er's pretentious behavior, and sneered contemptuously, without any pity, and said coldly: "Since Miss Jiang thinks we are cruel, we won't meddle in other people's business. Miss Jiang will still go to find those kind-hearted people to help."

After saying that, Song Ruoxi stood up and walked towards the door. She was really not interested in helping Jiang Yan'er. She could get rid of Jiang Yan'er like this. She decided to go to the Buddha to sing three incense sticks to thank the Bodhisattva.

Ye Shuhua followed closely behind.

"No, don't leave me behind." Jiang Yan'er shouted anxiously.

"Is there anything else for Miss Jiang?" Song Ruoxi looked at Jiang Yan'er with a squinted look.

Jiang Yan'er lowered her head, her eyes flashed, and she said, "I want to stay in Dengying City."

Song Ruoxi sighed inwardly, indeed, this dog skin plaster is not so easy to get rid of. "Xiangxiu, go find an inn and let Miss Jiang stay first."

Jiang Yan'er looked up at Song Ruoxi in disbelief and asked, "Did you let me stay in the inn?"

"If you don't stay in the inn, where do you want to live?" Song Ruoxi sneered. She could help without grudges. She had done her best. This woman still wanted to be greedy and righteous. Do she think she was the reincarnation of Guan Shiyin? She did not have the hobby of attracting wolves into the house and feeding tigers with her body.

Jiang Yan'er asked in a sharp tone: "Is this your way of hospitality?"

Song Ruoxi curled his lips and sneered sarcastically, and asked back: "Are you a guest?"

Jiang Yan'er was speechless, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

Song Ruoxi kept paying attention to her, easily capturing the flash of anger and hatred, and even more convinced that this woman was not a good person. "Since Miss Jiang is unwilling to go to the inn, Xiangxiu gave her twenty taels of silver to Miss Jiang and asked Miss Jiang to arrange it on her own."

Xiang Xiu took out twenty taels of silver from her purse and handed it to Jiang Yan'er.

Jiang Yan'er didn't reach out to take the money. It was not that she didn't want it, but that she knew that she would not care about her after taking the money. Twenty taels of silver would not take long, "I'm willing to stay in the inn."

Song Ruoxi had expected that Jiang Yan'er would know the current affairs again, so she sneered and asked Xiangxiu to find the inn and asked Qinghe to go to the ready-to-wear shop next to her to buy clothes.

Qinghe Ermon bought two sets of clothes for Jiang Yan'er to change inside and outside. Xiang Xiu quickly found an inn nearby. After paying three days of room for Jiang Yan'er to move in, he asked the store to send hot water to bathe her.

After arranging Jiang Yan'er, Song Ruoxi was not interested in continuing to stroll, so he left a secret guard to monitor Jiang Yan'er and took a carriage home.

When the carriage left the inn, Song Ruoxi looked at Ye Shuhua and asked with a serious expression: "Senior brother, don't you think Jiang Yan'er's appearance is suspicious?"

Ye Shuhua said in a deep voice: "The followers beside Chen Yin are not ordinary people, but they can't catch a woman with no power and let her run to us, which is even more suspicious."

"Chen Mo did not succeed in supporting the second young master. He was unwilling to fail. He sent Chen Yin to climb Yingcheng to stir up the wind and rain." A hint of cruelty flashed in Song Ruoxi's eyes, "Senior brother, if Chen Yin dares to take action, we will let him cut off Chen Mo's arm without a return."

"Ziwen and Ziwu will keep a close eye on Chen Yin. As long as there is any trouble, he will get rid of him." Ye Shuhua frowned, "Jiang Yan'er, what should I do?"

"Jiang Yan'er should have followed Chen Yin's instructions and approached us intentionally. Now that we leave her in the inn, she will lose her value. It will not be too late to deal with her when the matter is over." Song Ruoxi smiled strangely. Jiang Yan'er dared to help Chen Yin and did not need to be polite to her. She didn't want to go back to Qingyuan City, so she sent her back to Qingyuan City.

In the evening, Ziwen returned to the city to report that Chen Yin, as he said, was fond of food and had been feasting in the restaurant.

"Continue to monitor." Ye Shuhua said.

The next day, Yefan received an urgent report from the Kingdom of He.

The emperor of Heguo passed away more than ten days ago, and the one who ascended the throne was his youngest son Yuan Xie, who was only one year old.

Yuan Xie was unable to preside over the government affairs when he was young. His biological mother, the imperial concubine of Yanfu Palace, was in charge of the court as the empress dowager. Chen Guifei's biological father, Chen Huaiguang, Duke of Huaili, and Chen Xin, the eldest brother, Dongbi, presided over the government affairs. The Heguo regime finally fell into the hands of the Chen clan.

According to the etiquette, when he climbed Yingcheng, he needed to send someone to attend the funeral. Ye Fan asked everyone about his opinions and ordered Ye Xiaogong to lead an envoy to Heguo.

Ye Shuhua did not hide what happened in Heguo. After saying the matter, he said, "Now he can only command the young emperor to the world. After a few years, the time is right, he will force the young emperor to abdicate the throne to him. The Yuan Dynasty will be replaced by the Chen Dynasty."

Song Ruoxi heard his tone a little sad, and said, "My master once said that Chen Mo's fate is extremely noble and has the appearance of an emperor. He replaced the ignorant emperor in the world, which is the fate of heaven. Everything in this world is prosperous and declining, and the cause and effect cycles from nothing to something, from existence to nothing, from existence to nothing, and from life to nothing, and it continues to turn around. This is the case with life, and the world is the same."

Ye Shuhua pondered for a moment and said, "The laws of heaven are clear and the cycle of reincarnation is clear."
