Chapter 448 - 449: Investigate Ye Zi’an
At this moment, in the Mu family residence in the county town, the divine doctor Mu Shaoling, whom the villagers have been talking about, sneezed loudly over a dozen times.
"Did you catch a cold?" Baili Yan asked worriedly.
"No, I just guess that dead girl is talking about me again," Mu Shaoling grumbled.
When he mentioned Yang Chuxia again, Baili Yan didn’t remind Mu Shaoling this time, because he had also heard the words that Mu Shaoling had said to Ye Zi’an last time.
"I thought you really had your eyes on that little girl." Baili Yan said, thinking about what Mu Shaoling had said at the last martial arts competition.
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaoling snorted, "I just think that little girl is interesting, okay? Besides, someone like this young master should at least marry someone gentle and lovely. That dead girl can choke someone with just one sentence."
Baili Yan just shook his head with a smile.
Thinking that Baili Yan didn’t believe his words, Mu Shaoling said seriously and profoundly, "Some young ladies are just for looking, but absolutely can’t be married. While some young ladies you may not look at, but they can definitely be married." In Mu Shaoling’s mind, as for that dead girl, not considering the issue of status, not even mentioning if she already had a sweetheart, even without a sweetheart, marrying her would be like inviting an ancestor to his home, and he still wants to live for a few more years.
"Alright, I think you’ve got an evil disease," Baili Yan laughed again. "How is the investigation on Ye Zi’an going?"
"Why do you want to investigate him?" Mu Shaoling asked, puzzled. "Like he said, his parents are both dead, he hasn’t had any contact with the Ye family for many years, and he has a stepmother and two stepbrothers, one was exiled, and the other was crippled. Nothing special there."
Upon hearing this, Baili Yan fell into deep thought, then said, "If that’s the case, let it be. But Quanya County still needs to be investigated, and as for that little girl’s home, someone should keep an eye on it. Maybe they will come in handy later."
He touched the little arrow on the table as he spoke.
Hearing this, Mu Shaoling’s eyes flashed with excitement, "Of course, we must pay attention to her, there must be other good things on her."
Baili Yan laughed lightly at his words, still maintaining his mysterious and aloof demeanor.
Yangshu Village
After Land Officer Yang and the others returned, Ms. Wang saw that Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an had come back and was very happy, adding many dishes for the evening meal.
When Yang Qingrui and his siblings came back, they naturally fussed over Ye Zi’an again.
To be honest, Ye Zi’an had been missed these past few days, especially by Yang Qingrui, who had the most contact with Ye Zi’an, and who had some questions from their schoolwork that he didn’t quite understand and wanted to ask Ye Zi’an.
So when he saw Ye Zi’an return, he hurriedly took out his textbooks to consult with him after dinner.
Ye Zi’an was very patient with their schoolwork, answering all of Yang Qingrui’s questions one by one.
"Alright, let your Brother Zi’an take a good rest tonight. He’s also very tired from the bumpy carriage ride. If you have any questions, ask them tomorrow," Ms. Wang said as she saw the two brothers still gathered around Ye Zi’an.
"Oh"
Hearing that, Yang Qingrui quickly put away his textbooks and said, "Brother Zi’an, why don’t you sleep at my house tonight? There’s no one to take care of you when you go back, and I won’t be able to help you if you need to get up at night."
"As if you needed to say it," Yang Dachuan laughed. "Your mother has already prepared bedding for your Brother Zi’an."
Hearing that, Ye Zi’an smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
"You don’t need to be polite with your aunt, it’s not appropriate," Yang Dachuan chided, before helping Ye Zi’an to get some rest.
