Chapter 51 An Yu killed for Ye Qiongying!
While they were shouting, this group of drunken young masters had already rushed forward with their men.
When Uncle Ye heard the title of Prime Minister, he was instinctively stunned.
Generally speaking, the current Prime Minister Du Ming was a good official. He was efficient and decisive in his work, and there was no major problem with his work style. He never took bribes and was not interested in beautiful women. He had been married to his wife for many years and did not even have a concubine to warm his bed.
But he has one biggest weakness, which is his youngest son Du Chengxiu.
Unlike the previous children, perhaps because he was the eldest son in his old age and was more favored, Du Chengxiu had been disobedient since childhood. At that time, he just had minor problems like not liking to go to school and being naughty. But as he grew up, he became more and more unruly and caused a lot of trouble in the capital.
Lord Prime Minister Du, who had always been fair and honest in the past, was confused about the affairs of his youngest son.
After his wife passed away, this doting reached a new level.
Du Chengxiu tasted the sweetness and knew that he had a father who was the prime minister to help him cover up his mistakes. He became even more daring and became a notorious playboy in the capital.
I didn't expect to run into him today!
Uncle Ye naturally couldn't be harsh with the Prime Minister's youngest son. If anything went wrong, it would inevitably bring trouble to the Ye family.
But protecting the older girl is also his duty.
With the concerns in mind, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone so many people?
Seeing that someone had already lifted the curtain of the carriage, Uncle Ye was furious and was about to rush over and kick the person away without caring about anything.
Unexpectedly, someone took action before him.
"what!"
A scream was heard.
It was the young masters who had just opened the curtain and climbed into the carriage under the influence of alcohol.
The ones who screamed were the ones at the back. They seemed to be frightened and fell off the carriage, tumbling.
Only then did Uncle Ye see what had happened.
It was the young man named An Yu in the carriage who pulled out a dagger and stabbed it directly into the chest of the man who was rushing in the front!
Blood continued to flow out from the knife wound, staining his chest red.
The man obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to do such a cruel thing to him. He stared straight ahead with his eyes wide open, and didn't even close his eyes until he covered his chest and fell backwards.
I saw foamy blood gushing out of his mouth, and soon he died.
"Ah! Murder... murder... you... you are all going to die... it's all over, it's all over. This matter has nothing to do with me. It was not me who killed Master Du... it was not me!"
Those rich young men who had drunken expressions before were finally sobered up by the stimulation. They threw away their responsibilities in fear, and some servants who saw something was wrong ran away, obviously going to report to the authorities or to the prime minister's residence to report the news.
Uncle Ye and Ye Qiongying in the carriage approached immediately to check the condition of the fallen man.
But the location of the knife just now was too accurate, leaving no chance for rescue. I am afraid that even if Hua Tuo were alive, he would not be able to bring such a dead person back to life.
Ye Qiongying didn't expect that things would develop to this point.
Hearing some strange noise outside, she was planning to come out to lend a hand, but she didn't expect the curtain of the carriage to be lifted by someone.
Then, the group of playboys fell into the carriage and rushed towards her.
Ye Qiongying was ready to kick the man off the carriage, but she didn't expect that the harmless-looking boy next to her would accurately take out a dagger from the secret compartment of the carriage and stab the leading man in the chest.
That person happened to be the Prime Minister’s youngest son Du Chengxiu.
The whole process took less than half a minute and it was all over.
There are only Ye Qiongying and Uncle Ye here, and An Yu is obviously not considered a normal helper.
Therefore, it is impossible to stop others from fleeing.
Since there is no guarantee that no one will leave, there is no difference between one person running away and two people running away.
They could only watch those people disperse.
"What should we do?" Uncle Ye touched Du Chengxiu's neck, "Miss, this man is completely hopeless."
"It was my fault that I didn't react in time and failed to stop An Yu." Ye Qiongying looked to the side and saw An Yu still holding the bloody dagger in his hand, and even his face was splashed with some red spots.
Those colors, on his white jade face, were as enchanting and beautiful as blooming red plums. Against the backdrop of the lights in the dark night, An Yu was like an elf that had escaped from the mundane world.
After sensing her gaze, a silly smile quickly appeared on the handsome young man's cold face, and he instantly turned from a deadly dark elf into a silly and innocent person.
"Young lady, take this fool back quickly. Leave this to me," Uncle Ye made up his mind. "Just say that I was the one who did it. I will ask Lao Niu to make the arrangements. Anyway, those people are drunk and it is not bright here during the day. You are in the carriage and your identities may not be exposed. If they really find out about me, you can say that I have left the Ye family for a long time. In short, the matter ends with me and will not involve the Ye family and you."
Although he was dissatisfied with this amnesiac boy who always stuck to Ye Qiongying, now that he has caused such a big problem, Uncle Ye is not angry anymore.
He could sense that the young man was willing to risk his life to protect the girl.
It was incredible that a sick man like him could kill that scoundrel with one knife.
Ye Qiongying naturally couldn't let Uncle Ye die like this, so she directly rejected his proposal and pulled An Yu over. When the young man approached happily, she directly snatched the dagger from his hand, and then wiped the blood off his face and hands with a handkerchief, rubbing his face until it turned pink:
"Prince Du loves his youngest son the most. Uncle Ye, if you carry this matter behind your back, you will definitely die.
I am different. The Ye family is full of loyal and brave people, and now I am the only legitimate daughter left. Even if Lord Du is angry, he will not kill me to avenge his youngest son. At most, he will punish me. "
"But……"
"Don't say buts," Ye Qiongying pushed the silly boy who was still smiling at her towards Uncle Ye, "Uncle Ye, take him back to the mansion. It's impossible for us to run away. Our features are too obvious. It's only a matter of time before we find the Ye family. So... just leave this to me. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I still want to be a female general and protect my grandmother, my aunt, and everyone else!"
Uncle Ye certainly didn't want to leave his daughter here to bear all this alone.
But there were faint sounds of approaching in the distance, and it was obvious that the people who had just escaped were calling for reinforcements.
"Go!" Ye Qiongying could only shout, "Grandmother and the others are still at home! Her health was not good before, and she must not be stimulated again. Uncle Ye, you are also considered as an adopted son of Grandmother. If you die... do you want Grandmother to die with you?"
"I..." Uncle Ye gritted his teeth.
"I'll leave the mansion to you," Ye Qiongying made the final decision, and then said to An Yu, "Follow Uncle Ye back, I'll come find you later, be obedient, okay? If you make trouble again, An Yu will not be a good brother."
An Yu really didn't make any trouble. He just followed Uncle Ye who had been persuaded and left while looking back.
Just as the two of them disappeared into the shadows, a group of people appeared at the other end:
"It's right here! Master Du was killed by them here!"
