“小姐,刚才那是什么声音?”

芍药走进房中,有些奇怪地问道。

她方才又去把饭菜热了一遍,刚回来就似乎听到了什么声响。

叶诗娴眸光微闪,掩饰地将碎发别到耳后,在凳子上坐下:“没什么,我只是在想,不知爹爹那边情况如何了……”

芍药不疑有他,将托盘放下,叹了口气,劝道:“小姐,您如今被困府中,也是处处受限,为今之计,唯有希望老爷能早日洗清嫌疑,沉冤昭雪了。”

叶诗娴抚着胸口,长长吐出一口气:“是啊……”

虽然那慕容晔答应帮忙,但不到最后一刻,谁也不知结果如何。

毕竟他前夜中秋宫宴就没能成功劝说,让陛下将爹爹放回,这一次……

看叶诗娴还是愁眉不展的样子,芍药又劝道:“小姐,您别担心了,老爷在朝中也有不少往来亲近的同僚,总会有人帮忙的!”

叶恒长袖善舞,平日最擅此道。

然而叶诗娴听了这话,却没感觉到轻松。

“那些人岂能信得过?人人为己,风光时踏破门槛,落魄时门可罗雀,更有甚者,还会踩上一脚——”

忽然,叶诗娴心头一跳,猛地起身。

“等等!今天、今天——”

她快走几步,抓住芍药的胳膊,急声问道:“今天是韩桐问斩的日子,是不是!?”

芍药不明所以,楞楞点头:“好像、好像是,小姐,有什么问题吗?”

叶诗娴心脏莫名跳快了几分,莫名的不安渐渐涌上。

“你去——”刚想让芍药出去打探一下消息,又想起此时困境,叶诗娴生生将剩下的话又咽了回去,“罢了!”

她双手绞紧帕子,慌乱地徘徊几趟。

现在,只能期望一切顺利,正午时分——韩桐人头落地了!

……

韩尧的话犹如在平静的湖面投下巨石,瞬间激起波澜!
围观众人呆愣片刻,立时哗然!
听韩尧这意思,叶恒杀害亲兄,乃是证据确凿!而那韩桐,更是对此一清二楚!
“难怪!我就说之前好端端的,叶恒突然带人来韩家找麻烦,甚至还见了血!合着是要杀人灭口?”

之前种种,都有了合理的解释!
叶初棠愣怔原地,似乎好久才反应过来韩尧说了什么。

她轻微干裂渗血的唇瓣动了动,那双乌黑莹润的黑眸之中,充斥着全然的震惊与茫然。

“你说……什么?”

她的嗓音极轻,像是随时会被吹散在风中,却又在喧闹哗然的街道之中,显得尤为突出。

那些嘈杂的声音顷刻消失,无数双视线落在她身上,神色复杂。

京城皆知,叶初棠与叶恒一家早已决裂,但不管怎么说,他们都是叶家人,这一层血脉亲缘,是怎么都割舍不掉的。

可是现在——

天下谁人,能在知道自己至亲的父母阿兄是被曾经最信任最亲近的亲人谋害之后,还能淡然自若的?!

韩尧欣赏着她的神情,眼底染上疯狂与满意。

“怎么,很意外?叶初棠,你那位好二叔做过的丧良心事儿,可不止这一件!想当初,霍俞成——”

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."
