After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Chapter 192 Dry Well

The broken gate had obviously been tampered with. Ye Qingyu turned around and asked Madam Hou, "Excuse me, Madam, whose courtyard is this? Can we go in and look for it?"

The Marquis's wife hadn't expected to find herself here. This courtyard had been deserted for a long time. "No one has lived here for a long time. Princess, please come in."

She wondered how Ye Qingya could have gotten in here. Wasn't the gate to this courtyard locked?

Wu quickly pushed the door open and walked in, calling out anxiously, "Qingya, Qingya, are you there?"

Ye Qingya's voice came faintly with tears in her eyes, "Mother, Mother, I'm here."

Ye Qingyu's eyes were deep and she spoke quickly, "Second Aunt, Qingya's voice came from that dry well."

Wu looked around the deserted yard and found a well on the east side of the yard amidst the weeds. She walked over quickly and Ye Qingyu followed.

There was a large stone beside the dry well, and Ye Qingya's terrified voice came from the well, "Mother, mother, I'm here, wuwu, mother, save me!"

Wu looked into the well and saw Ye Qingya slumped in the well, with Xiao Qi and Shen Junchen's pale and terrified faces beside her.

Ye Qingyu walked closer and looked at the well. The well was not deep, about the same height as a man. If they could go in, they should be able to come out.

Ye Qingyu looked at the expressions of the three people and knew that the things in the well must have been discovered by someone.

"Qingya, Qingya, mother will rescue you right away, don't be afraid."

Shen Junchen said ashamedly, "Madam Ye, I can drag Qingya up, and you can find two strong women to catch her from above."

Ye Qingya said angrily, "I don't need you, don't touch me!"

She glared at Shen Junchen angrily with her clear, tearful eyes.

Shen Junchen also knew that it was all his fault that she encountered such a thing. He felt guilty and distressed, so he spoke softly, "Qingya, please don't be angry with me. Let's go out first, okay?"

Ye Qingyu said, "This well is not deep. Qingya, stand up and we will pull you out."

Ye Qingya blinked her watery eyes and said, "Big sister, I, my legs are weak and I can't stand up. Woo woo, big sister, I'm scared. There are dead people in here!"

"What! Dead people!"

Ye Qingya’s words shocked everyone present and they looked at the Marquis’ wife.

The marquis' wife was also shocked. This yard had been abandoned for almost ten years. How could there be a dead person here?

Ye Qingyu was helpless and said to Shen Junchen, "Young Prince, please drag Xiao Qi up first."

Shen Junchen followed the instructions and dragged Xiaoqi up. Madam Pei and Pei Xuqing personally took Xiaoqi in.

Xiao Qi was too young to understand what a dead person was. She was afraid that she was frightened by Ye Qingya's crying. "Mother, sister, sister Qingya is still in there."

Mrs. Pei hugged her daughter excitedly, "Don't worry, Xiaoqi. With so many people here, your sister Qingya will be fine."

At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open again, and Gu Huaizhi and Ye Yanzhi walked in quickly.

Ye Qingyu said, "Second Aunt, Big Brother is here."

Wu was stunned, and the question of why her son was here flashed through her mind. However, saving her daughter was the most important thing at the moment, so she put that doubt behind her and said, "Yanzhi, go down and rescue your sister."

Seeing her elder brother coming, Ye Qingya felt even more aggrieved. "Woo woo, elder brother, I, I'm scared."

Ye Yanzhi calmly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Ya'er, big brother is here." He turned to look at Shen Junchen and said coldly, "Little Prince, please come up first."

After all, this is a well, and the space inside is limited. Even a grown man like him can't turn his body around if he goes down.

Seeing the cold face of his future brother-in-law, Shen Junchen didn't dare to say anything. He grabbed the edge of the well and jumped out with force.

Ye Yanzhi didn't even look at him. He lifted the corner of his robe and jumped down neatly. Ye Qingya saw her elder brother and sobbed and muttered, "Brother, brother, there, there are dead people! Wuwu, so scary, so scary!"

Ye Yanzhi helped his frightened sister up and patted her back to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, big brother is here, big brother will take you up first."

Ye Qingya nodded. She helped her elder brother stand up, her whole body trembling.

Ye Yanzhi picked her up and lifted her up. There was a maid from the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion holding her up. Ye Qingya and Wu also lent a hand and pulled Ye Qingya out of the well.

As soon as Ye Qingya came out, she fell into Wu's arms and cried uncontrollably.

Ye Qingya was sent up, but Ye Yanzhi had no intention of coming up.

It was dark at the bottom of the well. With the help of a ray of light coming through the hole, Ye Yanzhi tucked up the corner of his robe and squatted down to observe the body buried in the soil.

Seeing this, the Marquis's wife looked panicked and anxious. "Master Ye, this well has been dry for a long time. There must be a lot of rotten and dirty things in it. Master Ye, you'd better come up quickly and don't hurt yourself."

If there really was a body in the well, an outsider could not be allowed to interfere. The Marquis's wife thought of covering up the matter first, sending all the guests away, and then bringing people to deal with it.

Unfortunately, Ye Yanzhi's reaction was completely beyond her expectations. "There is a body in this well. It's a murder case. As a deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice, I must investigate."

Mrs. Hou was choked by Ye Yanzhi's words. How could she know that Ye Yanzhi was from the Ministry of Justice? This, this just happened to fall into the hands of someone in the Ministry of Justice!

What should I do?

The Marquis's wife smiled flatteringly and said to Wu, "Madam Ye, you are also the mistress of the house. I think you will understand. This must be a little maid in the Marquis's mansion who jumped into the well."

"Today is my birthday party, a great day for a big celebration. Discussing such ominous matters, haha, you see, this is really not a good idea. Please persuade Mr. Ye to forget it for now."

"Everyone has servants and maids who can't figure out what's going on in our inner house. Well, we're all the masters of the inner house, so we should all understand."

The Marquis's wife smiled helplessly, as if she felt embarrassed that such a small thing at home was seen by the guests.

After all, Wu had lived in the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion for so many years, so she was naturally aware of the dirty things going on in the big family.

However, she did not agree. Instead, she apologized awkwardly, "I came here to celebrate your birthday. My children and I have caused you so much trouble. I want to apologize to you."

She said to everyone helplessly and ashamedly, "My son has always been stubborn, just like his father. If he wants to do something, even ten oxen can't stop him. Moreover, he has run into something that is his job. I beg you, Madam, to forgive him and let him have his fun. Once he finds out which servant in your house it is, you can rest assured, right?"

All the ladies thought Wu's words made sense. "Yes, there happens to be someone who understands these things. Madam, you can rest assured and let Master Ye check it out."

"Don't worry, Madam. We all understand. Such things happen to everyone."

Everyone looked at the Marquis' wife, their eyes filled with sympathy and hidden gloating.

What bad luck.
