Chapter 275 Doubts

Ye Jiayao had a sleepless night and went to the training class early the next morning. This morning was Lu Xiaotian's class.

Lu Xiaotian is very attached to this training class and will be there almost every morning and evening, regardless of whether he has classes or not.

The class hadn't started yet when Ye Jiayao arrived, but the students were already preparing. When Cui Dongpeng saw her, he ran over quickly and smiled like a dog: "Good morning, Second Young Madam."

Ye Jiayao nodded: "Is shopkeeper Lu here?"

Cui Dongpeng said: "Here, he has been here a long time ago."

Ye Jiayao went straight to the lounge, where the lecturer rested and prepared.

I knocked on the door first, and a clear male voice came from inside: "Come in..."

Lu Xiaotian was still considering the lecture notes. Influenced by Ye Jiayao, everyone began to write lecture notes. It was necessary to combine theory and practice so that students could better understand and master it.

"Shopkeeper Lu."

Ye Jiayao took a deep breath and walked over. She had been thinking about what to ask when they met last night. If the note was really written by Lu Xiaotian, it wouldn't be awkward for her to go straight to the point, but if it wasn't, it would be embarrassing.

But she would rather embarrass Lu Xiaotian than Chunyu misunderstand.

Lu Xiaotian raised his head when he heard Ye Jiayao's voice, and a faint smile immediately appeared in his eyes: "Why is Shopkeeper Ye here?"

Ye Jiayao took out the note and placed it on the handout in front of him.

After Lu Xiaotian saw the words on it, his expression became solemn and he looked at her steadily: "Where does this come from?"

Ye Jiayao had been paying attention to his expression. After the fleeting accident, there was a solemn coldness.

"This note is tucked into my handout. Shopkeeper Lu, did you write this?"

Lu Xiaotian took the note and read it again and again, took out a piece of paper from the drawer, picked up a pen and wrote the exact same sentence.

Then, his face became even more ugly.

"Shopkeeper Ye, I have to admit that these are my words, but I swear, I have never written such words, not even to my wife."

He already knew the seriousness of the matter, otherwise Ye Jiayao wouldn't have rushed here so early in the morning. Yes, he did appreciate her very much, and he praised her without any words in front of others. Only he knew that there was a little bit of admiration in this appreciation for her. He would never let anyone else know about this subtle thought. It was only his personal matter and a secret forever. How could he write such words to offend her?

But he really couldn't understand why the handwriting was exactly the same.

His eyes were open and there was no hesitation in his eyes.

"Are you sure you haven't written it?" Ye Jiayao actually believed what he said, but for the sake of caution, she still asked one more question.

Lu Xiaotian said: "I, Lu, may sometimes be involuntarily, but I will never cross the bottom line. If I decide to say such things, I will not deny it."

Ye Jiayao breathed a sigh of relief, but then became sad again. If it wasn't written by Lu Xiaotian, then who wrote it? Why imitate Lu Xiaotian’s handwriting? Why did this only happen yesterday? Yesterday Mrs. Zhou came to visit. Who suggested playing cards? And while she was away, there was an extra note in the handout...

Could it be that Xiang Tao was lying?

No, from what she has observed over such a long period of time, Xiangtao is a straightforward person. Although he is a bit reckless, he is still loyal and will not frame her.

Who on earth has such magical power, can sneak into Xiang Tao's room without telling her.

But it's also possible that she was stuffed in during the training class and she didn't notice it in time.

There are many questions in my mind, but I can't find a breakthrough.

Lu Xiaotian looked at her sad expression and asked, "Did someone see the note?"

Ye Jiayao nodded gloomily.

Lu Xiaotian frowned and said: "If you think about it again, whose hands your handouts have passed through, who might have framed you, or in other words, who would benefit from framed you..."

Ye Jiayao was silent. She had also thought about this last night. In the Hou Mansion, the person who had an irreconcilable conflict with her was Liuli. It was not impossible to go to such great lengths to set up such a scheme to harm her, but it had to be done in a magical way. Unknowingly, there must be a mole around her. According to Ye Jiayao's analysis, Jin Yao is the most suspicious of this mole.

It was obvious that Jin Yao had some serious thoughts about Chun Yu. Although she had been very careful to hide it, her occasional expressions of uncontrollable feelings revealed her thoughts.

However, this is just her speculation and there is no evidence.

"I will also check. Starting from the people around me, it is not easy to imitate the handwriting so similar. There are no more than three people in the entire Jinling City who can do this." Lu Xiaotian pondered. .

Ye Jiayao's eyes lit up, yes, this is a clue.

"Shopkeeper Lu, I'm sorry to trouble you. This matter is very important to me. Please help me find out." Ye Jiayao solemnly asked.

Lu Xiaotian smiled bitterly. Of course he knew that this matter was serious and related to their reputations. If this matter could not be explained clearly, both of them would be in trouble.

After leaving Lu Xiaotian, Ye Jiayao immediately returned home and went to Youshi's first. Youshi was entertaining guests, so Ye Jiayao asked Mother Sun to inquire.

"Who suggested the card game last night?"

Mother Sun felt strange why the second young lady asked this, but she still answered truthfully: "It's the third lady. She said she wanted to play cards when she came."

Ye Jiayao snorted and thought, Qiao Mingxiu can be excluded.

There is no difference between Zhou's suggestion and Liuli's suggestion. The two often wear the same pair of pants.

Mother Sun watched the Second Young Mistress leave thoughtfully, and thought to herself: Was there something wrong with the card game last night?

Qiao Xi followed the second young lady. She had never seen the second young lady in such trouble and wanted to help the second young lady.

She couldn't help but ask: "Second Young Mistress, please forgive me for asking, what on earth is the prince so angry about?"

Ye Jiayao came back to her senses and said seriously: "Qiao Xi, go and ask the concierge if anyone around the third young lady has been to the third lady's place in the past two days."

Qiao Xi took the order and left the second door.

Not long after, he came back and replied: "The concierge said that Xiaoya went out the afternoon before yesterday and came back in less than a stick of incense."

Ye Jiayao understood that it was indeed the case. One stick of incense was enough time to go to the street and buy a bun. In such a short time, it was enough to go to Zhou's.

"Qiao Xi, let Xiang Tao come in and say that I want to ask questions and shout louder so that everyone in the courtyard can hear."

Qiao Xi understood what the Second Young Madam meant, opened the bamboo curtain and went out, stood at the door and said loudly: "Xiang Tao, the Second Young Madam is here to ask you, where is he?"

"Hey, here we come..." Xiangtao ran out of the ear room.

When Xiang Tao entered the room, Qiao Xi closed the door, then lay on the window crack to pay attention to what was going on outside.

Ye Jiayao stared at Xiang Tao quietly without saying a word.

Xiangtao's scalp was numb from being stared at. After all, she couldn't hold on any longer. She knelt down and cried, "Second Young Mistress, I lied yesterday. I didn't see anyone come in. But, but... But there is someone among you. I only went to the toilet for a while, and last night I saw the Second Young Mistress and the Prince were very angry, so I was afraid, so I didn’t say anything."

Ye Jiayao gritted her teeth with hatred: "Xiangtao, Xiangtao, I almost got killed by you."

Damn it, if I hadn't mentioned it last night, Chun Yuxiang would have looked at her like a clown who was full of lies. Just thinking about it would make him vomit blood.

Xiangtao said with red eyes, "It's all my fault. I left my post without permission. I accept my punishment."

Ye Jiayao said angrily: "What's the use of punishing you now?"

If she didn't say it at the time, would Chunyu still believe it if she explained it later? Could it be that she threatened Xiang Tao and asked Xiang Tao to say this?

The best opportunity has been missed.

Qiao Xi suddenly turned her head and winked at Ye Jiayao.

Ye Jiayao understood that a suspect with ulterior motives appeared.

He continued to scold Xiang Tao: "Even if it's useless, I still have to punish you, otherwise you won't have a long memory. It's a shame that I still value you so much, so you can give me the blame..."

Xiangtao had never been scolded so harshly by the Second Young Mistress, and she started to cry.

"Just kneel here and reflect." After Ye Jiayao finished scolding, she walked quietly to Qiao Xi and looked through the window, only to see Jinyao leaving in a hurry.

Ye Jiayao sat down again and sighed: "Xiangtao, get up."

Xiangtao knelt there sobbing and wiping away tears, refusing to get up.

Qiao Xibo scolded: "What's the use of crying now? Come here quickly, the Second Young Mistress has something to say."

Xiangtao got up and moved over timidly.

Ye Jiayao said with some frustration: "I will also tell you about this matter. I will need your help. You two are the only people in this yard that I can still trust."

Qiao Xi and Xiang Tao both looked serious.

Ye Jiayao said: "Last night, Qiao Xi and I went to the upper room. Someone took the opportunity to come in and stuff a note into my lecture booklet. As for what was written on the note, you can guess it by seeing the prince's face."

Qiao Xi's face changed greatly and she said in surprise: "Second Young Madam, did someone throw dirty water on you?"

Ye Jiayao nodded helplessly: "It's not just ordinary dirty water. If we don't figure this out, the prince will always have a knot in his heart."

Xiangtao wanted to cry more and more. If she had known she would have peed her pants before leaving.

"Second Young Mistress, please beat me, beat me to death! I'm too embarrassed to see anyone..." Xiangtao said as tears rolled down her face again.

Ye Jiayao glared at her: "Wipe your tears quickly and don't say anything when you get out of this door."

Depending on Xiangtao's temperament, she might be able to scold the street.

"Qiao Xi, help me keep an eye on Miss Diansan. If she does anything strange, come and report to me at any time."

Qiao Xi thought to herself: "Second Young Mistress, when you say this, I will remember that Third Miss likes to go to Wei's house recently, and she even went to Wei's house yesterday."

Ye Jiayao's heart trembled, and a depressing thought emerged. Could it be that this matter has anything to do with Jin Rong?

I thought that Jin Yao would be allowed to go to Wei House, and then Jin Yao would be allowed to live there. If the guess was true, it would be her own trouble.
