第205章 难熬的夜(一更)
隔着窗户,依稀能看到点点火把,以及越来越近的脚步声。

那的确不是寻常情况会有的动静!

高氏急急起身:“到底怎么回事儿!?”

丫鬟哭着道:“听说、听说是定北侯世子亲自带人过来的!说、说要查封——”

“怎么可能!?你在说什么胡话!今夜中秋宫宴,世子殿下怎么会带人来此?”

高氏打心眼里是不信的。

她一边往外走,一边高声怒斥:“我倒是要看看,到底是谁来找叶家的麻烦!”

叶恒现在是出事儿了不错,但罪名未定,他仍是当朝的四品大员!

更何况,他身后还有那位!谁来了不得掂量掂量?
走了几步,冷风吹来,高氏忽然想起自己出来竟是忘了带面纱。

她脸上的红肿溃烂已经持续月余,用了各种法子,都不见好转,平日里她尽量待在屋内,不与外人接触,可现在这——

高氏想回去取面纱戴上,却已听见了外面急促而整齐的声音。

人已到了!

顾不得其他,高氏只得硬着头皮继续往外走,一边走一边急声问道:“娴儿呢?她还没回来吗?”

丫鬟又哪里知道这些,只胆怯茫然地摇头。

“奴、奴婢不知……”

“真是废物!关键时候一个个的都不顶用!”高氏烦躁不已,“愣着干什么,还不多派几个人去少爷那边守着!若惊扰到了他,我拿你们是问!”

高氏心里最宝贝的,自然还是这个儿子。

他的身体情况本就不好,这要是再闹出点事儿,更不知猴年马月才能好了。

说话间,高氏已经来到了前院。

她一眼看到叶家大门已经大,开夜色黑沉,依稀只能看到外面似乎已经被彻底围堵。

府内下人齐齐瑟缩站在一处,竟无一人上前阻拦。

高氏的火气瞬间上来,上前一步,厉声喝道:“放肆!当这里是什么地方,岂容你们随意查封!?”

她叶家还没落魄到被人上门欺辱的地步!
然而就在高氏准备继续质问的时候,一个身着黑色劲衣的男人出现在了大门之外。

看着那张有些熟悉的脸,高氏瞬间失语。

“连、连舟大人?”

这不是定北侯世子身边的心腹吗?怎么会出现在这里?!
连舟抬头看了眼门匾。

“风陵巷,叶恒叶家,查的就是伱们。叶夫人,烦请让上一让吧!”

一番话落在耳边,每个字都听得清楚,可连在一起,却突然让人听不懂了。

高氏张了张嘴:“什、什么?”

就在这时,她又看到了一道熟悉的身影。

“娴儿?”

高氏瞧见她,瞬间感觉抓到了希望,急急道:“娴儿,这里面是不是有什么误会?你快和连舟大人解释解释啊!”

叶诗娴唇色苍白,双眼无神,听到她这话,也只是迟钝地转了下眼珠。

高氏这才发现她双眼通红,竟像是哭过的样子。

她心里一沉。

“娴儿,你——”

“二婶。”

一道温和清润的嗓音传来,高氏抬头,这才发现她最讨厌看到的那个人,居然也在!
“叶初棠?你怎么在这!?”

叶初棠似乎没看出高氏的嫌恶与警惕,唇角轻轻弯了一下。

“多谢二婶关心,不过,您还是先顾及一下自己吧。您也别太担心,他们只是查点东西,只要二叔清清白白,自然会安然无恙。您让下面的人都听话些,早些查完,免得耽搁了过中秋,是不是?”

侯爷的掌心娇是朵黑心莲
Author:

Heir of a traditional medical family, Ye Chutang rolled through life for a lifetime, only to unexpectedly die just as she was about to inherit. Reborn, she only wanted to be a slacker and live a carefree life. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, she suffered a critical blow: her parents and eldest brother were assassinated, leaving her with three younger siblings. The third brother was seriously injured, the fourth brother was in a coma, and there was also a baby crying for milk. She weighed the cold steamed bun in her hand, looked despairingly at the sky, and thought that managing three at once was worse than starting over. The little baby tugged at her pant leg. "Hungry." Ye Chutang: "..." Get up and work! ...Ye Chutang’s plan was perfect; once she raised the children, she could retire and enjoy her later years. Yet, a man had different intentions. "Miss Ye, after all these years, shouldn't there be an explanation?" Ye Chutang: "6." You used to linger at my doorstep and now it’s my fault? ... The Ye family was impressive: Ye Sanlang was the top scholar of the current dynasty, Ye Si-lang had made great military achievements in the northwest, and Ye Wu girl had a commercial empire rivaling the rich and powerful. Only Ye Er-girl was busy raising her younger siblings, unknowingly aging and facing difficulties in marriage. Until one day, the powerful Duke of Dingbei, Shen Yanchaun, arrived with a bridal procession ten miles long to welcome her. Ye Chutang remained silent for a long time. "This time, you take care of the kids."
