Fourth Master was busy until he finished, Ye Zao had already fallen asleep with a book in his arms.

  Fourth Master had just discovered it and didn't care about her. He simply sped up his progress.

  This child, Fourth Master lowered his head and looked at the sleeping girl, a smile playing on his lips.

  This little fox is really likable.

  Fourth Master picked up Ye Zao, and Ye Zao woke up, rubbing his eyes: "Master?"

  Fourth Master didn't say anything, he just carried her onto the kang.

  Actually, Fourth Master thought Ye Zao was sleepy and didn't disturb her. He carried her to the bed and went to sleep. However, at this moment, the little fox woke up... It's time for a meal.

  After all, it's been several days since he last ate meat, Fourth Master is a bit hungry.

  When he was pressed on the couch, Ye Zao thoroughly woke up and was still eaten by Fourth Master.

  Fourth Master was satisfied and also knew to show some concern for the little servant girl: "Does it hurt?"

  At this time, even if it doesn't hurt, you have to say it hurts, otherwise how can a man be satisfied?

  "It hurts, Grandpa didn't go easy." Ye Zao complained.

  "Nonsense, am I not light enough? You little fox." Fourth Master gently pinched her face.

  It's almost ticklish, Fourth Master is somewhat unable to bear being too crazy on Ye Zao's body.

  It's also strange, just not crazy, Fourth Master also likes doing this kind of thing with her.

  Ye Zao hummed a few times and fell asleep in Fourth Master's arms.

  That night, Ye Zao slept soundly in Fourth Master's arms, but a maid died in the mansion.

  It was Li's second daughter-in-law, named Xiuer.

  Found dead in the house, hanged himself.

  In the morning, Fourth Master went out to attend to his business. Ye Zao returned to her own chambers and heard about this matter.

  "This is suspicious!" Song Danni shook her head.

  At this time, someone died at Li's place... how inauspicious.

  "It doesn't matter whether it's horizontal or vertical, we just need to take care of our own door." Ye Zao smiled.

  This Xiuer, it's probably related to Li Shi's miscarriage... Did she take her own life or was she murdered? Hard to say.

  However, with her death, it's likely that there will be no one to testify against him. Li Shi's death is in vain, and even revenge can't find the right target.

  Yun's family is clearly not the direct cause of her miscarriage, even if she had a fall before, it wouldn't be possible to have a miscarriage at six months just because of a fit of anger.

  Yun's family didn't have a large estate in the capital city...

  Then who is it?

  Apart from Zhengyuan, Ye Zao didn't think of anything else. Who was the one who least wanted Li Shi to give birth to a son? It was Fugui.

  Now, it's unclear whether it was planned by Fu Jin and Yun Shi or if they improvised.

  However, no matter what, Li was being schemed against.

  It doesn't matter for adults, but unfortunately, that child has been six months old and still can't be born smoothly...

  "Song Danni, look at this, being lowly also has its advantages, right?" Ye Zao sat on the chair brought by A Yuan outside the door, playing with coal balls.

  Today's weather is good, early in the morning, the coal balls started to come out and have fun.

  This child is playing with twigs and leaves outside the courtyard.

  Ye Zao picked up a branch and teased Coal Ball, who excitedly barked and then jumped up to grab the branch.

  The leaves touched his head, and he took advantage of the situation to lie down, exposing his belly for the leaves to touch.

  The leaves were used to rub its belly.

  Song Danni watched Ye Zao fight the dog, her hands moving steadily as she trimmed the embroidered ball: "Yes, people all want to climb up because of their low status, just like ants, and if they're not careful, they'll get trampled to death. But these ants also have their own advantages."

  "After I fell out of favor, I found a quiet place to live, where I wouldn't be in the way or draw attention to myself." Ye Zao said with a smile.

  "Hey, Miss Ye is teasing the dog?" A eunuch with a smiling face came in from the main hall.

  "Is Grandfather here?" Ye Zao stood up and smiled.

  "I dare not, I dare not. It's the main courtyard that has something going on and they've called everyone from the back courtyard to go. Miss, if you have nothing else to do, then you can go?" The eunuch's attitude was very good, after all, Ye Miss is favored now.

  Ye Zao smiled and nodded, didn't change her clothes, washed her hands, and followed him. Ah Yuan thought for a moment, and then caught up with them.

  As soon as they arrived at the main gate, Chang Shi came and greeted Ye Zao. After exchanging greetings, Chang Shi whispered: "I guess it's because of Xiuer."

  Ye Zao nodded, indicating that he understood. In his heart, he sympathized with the Chang family, who lived next to the Li family and were also extremely unlucky.

  Ye Zao and Chang Shi went in, except for Li Shi who couldn't come out, only Yun Shi and Gao Shi were left.

  Ye Zao thought that these two would either be under house arrest or recovering from illness and wouldn't come out.

  However, in just a moment, Yun's family arrived first, followed closely by Gao's family.

  Gao's family member glared at Ye Zao as soon as he entered.

  The lady came out and everyone was busy asking for her well-being.

  "The mistress waved her hand: 'Everyone sit down, I called you here today because something unpleasant has happened in the mansion.'"

  Ye Zao Xin said, "This must be because of Xiuer's death."

  Yun Ning sat at the bottom, her belly was already bulging, and her complexion was better than before. She hadn't participated in anything recently, so she was also confused.

  "Li's family's second daughter-in-law, Xiuer, suddenly hanged herself yesterday and left a blood-stained letter. Bring it over for them to see." Madame Fu waved her hand.

  Li Daquan held a tray, on which was a snow-white old handkerchief, with the word "wronged" scribbled crookedly on it.

  Everyone's face didn't look good, after all, no one had ever seen anything like this before.

  At Ye Zao and Yu Ning's place, Ye Zao clearly found that Li Daquan stayed a bit longer in front of Yu Ning.

  "This Xiuer, having entered the manor for over a decade, died in such an unclear manner, I am also shocked. Our manor has never treated servants harshly. A good and capable palace maid from the imperial selection, assigned to our manor, how could she have died like this? Therefore, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly. You all, if you know anything, don't hide it. Changshi, you live in the East Wing, do you know something?"

  Chang's servant quickly got up and knelt down: "I didn't know, I went to bed early last night, really didn't know anything. This Xiuer usually doesn't get close to me."

  "Get up, you don't know if you don't know, there's no need to be afraid. However, if you do know something and don't say it, I won't forgive you." The mistress said sternly.

  Chang's family was startled. They were too busy to dare (to intervene).

  Her heart was turbulent and stormy.

  To say I truly know nothing is also too fake, living in a courtyard.

  But what can she say? Can she say that Xiuer absolutely did not take her own life?

  But what about the evidence? If it wasn't suicide, then was it Xie Fuquan who harmed her?

  However, if Ce Fu Jin wants to get rid of a slave, there's no need to go through so much trouble and arouse suspicion.

  So, is this matter really so simple?

  So what can she say? Can only be unknown.

  Everyone had nothing to say, so they just came and went their separate ways after a brief encounter.

  Gaoge continued to go back and stay in seclusion, while Yezao went back with Yun'erge. After all, they lived close by.

  On the road, Yun Gege said: "Miss Ye's dress is great, you look good in it, this fresh and tender fabric suits you best."
