Chapter 14: Damaged Handkerchief

Ye Jian was shocked and angry when he heard the voice. He looked up and saw a handsome young man in blue clothes in front of Su Qiaoqiao, looking at him with a smile.

"Seventh Brother! You, a useless horse slave, dare to hit me?"

Ye Jian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face was grim, he was slightly startled, and suddenly shuddered. If Ye Xu was really a waste, how could he be slapped?

You know, he is not Zijuan. He has practiced the Cangming Body Refining Art to the fifth level, and his strength can be ranked in the middle among many clan children!

Could it be that this waste's cultivation has recovered?

Seeing that he was about to back down, Zijuan said sternly, "Master Jiu, the family rules of the Ye Mansion stipulate that if a servant commits a crime of rebellion and insults a member of the royal family, he will be beaten to death on the spot! This rubbish is still a horse slave, why are you afraid of him?"

Ye Jian was refreshed and thought carefully. The slap from Ye Xu just now was not as strong as he imagined. If this rubbish really recovered his cultivation, he would probably smash his head with one slap. He immediately became bolder and grinned, "That's right, you are a rubbish horse slave, and you dare to hit a member of the royal family! Slave, this time the young master will make you die without a burial place!"

Ye Xu glanced at Zijuan lightly, and felt that this slave who once served him was indescribably disgusting at this moment. He snorted coldly and said, "What family rules did the fugitive who swept away the master's property violate? How should the accomplice who harbored the fugitive be dealt with according to the family rules?"

Zijuan was so scared that she sat on the ground. She swept Ye Xu's property and fled to Ye Jian. According to the family rules, she should be punished with five cuts, digging out eyes, cutting off nose, cutting off tongue, cutting off hands and feet!

This is even more terrifying than killing her!

Ye Jian was also sweating coldly. For harboring a fugitive, according to the family rules, he would definitely abolish his cultivation, be demoted to a slave, and be sent to the mines to do hard labor!

Those miners have never been close to women for years. Many strong miners like male love and regard beautiful boys as pedophiles to vent their lust. If he was sent to the mine, he would probably be fired the next day, singing "The east wind breaks the chrysanthemums" in the cold wind.

Ye Xu looked at the two of them coldly, with great contempt in his heart: "A bunch of trash. Qiao Qiao, let's go!"

Zi Juan looked at Ye Xu's back, and then looked at Ye Jian who was dumbfounded. By comparison, she could see the gap between the two, like a phoenix and a rooster without feathers.

It was ridiculous that she was blind at the time. How could she abandon the gold bricks and fancy the dirt?

A trace of regret suddenly rose in her heart. If she had not left at the beginning, but followed Ye Xu, although she would be poor for a while, her status and scenery in the future would definitely be infinitely improved!

When Ye Xu was still the pride of the Ye Mansion, he doted on her very much. If Ye Xu became the next lord of the Ye Mansion, she might even become the grandmother of the Ye Mansion, second only to one person and above ten thousand people, and everyone would have to look at her face!

"There is still a chance now. With my beauty and skills in bed, as long as I use a little trick, won't the immature boy Qiye surrender? Qiaoqiao is just a little girl who has never tasted sex. She has no breasts and no buttocks. How can she be my opponent? As long as I get the upper hand, I can find a chance to kill her..."

Zijuan's eyes lit up and she hurriedly chased after Ye Xu.

Ye Jian was stunned and said angrily: "Zijuan, where are you going? Come back!"

Zijuan turned back and looked at him coldly, as if she was looking at a pile of garbage, with unspeakable disgust in her eyes. She quickly caught up with Ye Xu, straightened her clothes, knelt down, and cried: "Qiye, I know I was wrong..."

"Follow me again, I will kill you."

Ye Xu's tone was flat, and his eyes glanced at her lightly, as if he was not looking at a beautiful and pitiful girl, but a bitch.

Zijuan watched the two walk away, but she never dared to chase them. She could feel that Ye Xu was definitely not joking. If she continued to follow him, he would definitely treat her like a bitch and kill her with one palm, without even frowning!

Zijuan's heart was as cold as water. She turned around and saw Ye Jian leading other servants to her. She was refreshed and thought to herself: "If I can't be the eldest grandmother of the Ye family, it's not bad to be the wife of a royal family member. Although Ye Jian is incompetent, he is really good to me..."

"Master Jiu, I am young and ignorant, please forgive me..."

Zijuan said in a sad voice, and was about to appeal to her emotions. Ye Jian glanced at her with disgust and gritted his teeth and said: "I don't want a woman that Ye Shaobao doesn't want! Fengzhu, you drag this bitch out of the city, beat her to death with sticks, and throw her into the mass grave to feed the dogs!"

Zijuan was horrified and was about to call for help. Suddenly, several pretty maids behind Ye Jian came forward and covered her mouth tightly with a brocade handkerchief. One of the girls in a green skirt smiled and said: "Sister Zijuan, please forgive me. I have no choice." Without saying anything, several people carried her out of the city.

Ye Jian looked in the direction where Ye Xu left, a ray of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he thought: "This waste has recovered from his injury. I'm afraid he will be favored again soon, and then there will be no chance for me to make a name for myself! No, I have to discuss it with other brothers..." Thinking of this, he turned and walked towards the Ye Mansion.

Su Qiaoqiao pulled Ye Xu into a rouge shop, which was full of women, chattering, giving Ye Xu a headache, and he quickly ran away again.

"Qiao Qiao's enthusiasm for shopping is really terrifying!"

Ye Xu sighed, and suddenly saw the grocery street next to him. Compared with the bustling other streets, this place is sparsely populated, and there are not many pedestrians passing by. He told Qiao Qiao and walked in immediately.

The grocery street is actually a second-hand goods market, with a wide variety of products and cheap things.

The merchants here are unable to rent storefronts, and often set up stalls on the spot, piling up miscellaneous goods directly on the stalls. The goods are also of various kinds, and there is even a rumor that someone has found a witch treasure among these old goods.

Ye Xu is actually not very interested in the grocery street, and he does not believe that there will be a witch treasure here. If there is a witch treasure, it will inevitably cause a fight between all the witches and the three major families in Liuzhou City, and set off a bloody storm!

The preciousness of the witch treasure is simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even with the strength of the three major witch families, they only own a few.

When passing a grocery stall, Ye Xu suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.

In his Dantian, the Baiyulou, which had been calm all the time, suddenly became agitated, swam back and forth on the Cangming Qi, and jumped from time to time, shaking his Qi endlessly, and even the green jade seedling in the building seemed quite excited.

"Is there something that Baiyulou is interested in on this stall?"

Ye Xu couldn't help but become curious, and looked carefully, only to see that there were very few things on the stall, only three or four old books, and a tattered embroidered handkerchief.

The stall owner was obviously an old man, and smiled honestly: "What did this young master take a fancy to?"

Ye Xu smiled and said: "I am not a young master, but a horse slave of the Ye family."

The stall owner was amazed and said: "The horse slaves of the Ye family are more generous than the young masters of other wealthy families, they really deserve to be the Wuhuang family!"

Ye Xu smiled slightly, without saying much, and reached out to look through the old books, but they were the Four Books and Five Classics, nothing surprising, and the Baiyulou in his Dantian was still agitated.

His eyes could not help but fall on the embroidered handkerchief, which was incomplete, only half a foot in size, with broken edges and a strange pattern in the middle.

The pattern was also incomplete. Ye Xu looked at it carefully, as if it was a sun, and in the center of the sun was a three-legged strange bird, shaped like a crow, but the color was golden, not black like a crow.

"This broken embroidered handkerchief should be the corner of a big flag..."

Ye Xu picked up the embroidered handkerchief and gently stroked it. It was slightly hot to the touch, but the fabric was extremely delicate. It was light in his hand, as if nothing was there.

The Baiyu Tower in Dantian seemed to sense the breath of the embroidered handkerchief, and became more excited and agitated.

Ye Xu also noticed the peculiarity of this embroidered handkerchief, and he was moved. He asked, "Father, where did this embroidered handkerchief come from?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "This is what my wife picked up when she was washing clothes by the river. She usually uses it as a handkerchief. This embroidered handkerchief has a good thing. It won't breed insects or ants at home, not even a mouse! If it wasn't for the lack of money, my wife really wouldn't be willing to sell it. If you like it, take five taels of silver!"

Ye Xu pinched his purse and smiled bitterly, "I only have three taels here..."

The stall owner laughed "You can tell at a glance that you have never bought anything before. I said five taels, so you have to pay five taels. In fact, this handkerchief is a low-cost business. It only costs three taels of silver. Take it."

Ye Xu was overjoyed and took out three taels of silver. The stall owner gave him two more coins and said with a smile, "It's not easy to be a servant in the Ye family. We are all begging for food."

Ye Xu thanked him hurriedly and was about to put the handkerchief away when he suddenly stretched out a hand, grabbed a corner of the handkerchief, and said, "Shopkeeper, how much is this handkerchief? I'll buy it!"
