Chapter 66 An Yu’s family appeared?
what happened?
Before Ye Qiongying could ask, Uncle Ye had already stopped the carriage outside and said to the inside:
"Miss, we've arrived at the government office. There's a woman and a group of people making a fuss outside... It sounds like it's related to An Yu."
Ye Qiongying also heard An Yu's name.
Thinking of the content of those words, she said to An Yu who was busy competing with Wen Ping for favor:
"Anyu, I'll be downstairs for a while. You wait here for me to come back. Remember, don't come out, or I won't take you out with me anymore."
An Yu naturally didn't want to leave her side, and was so nervous that he immediately reached out to pull her sleeve.
But after hearing the following words, he withdrew his hand aggrievedly, sat in the carriage, his mouth pouting, his fingers almost twisted together in front of him, he looked so pitiful.
Ye Qiongying looked at him as if he were a child and rubbed his head hard. Seeing that he was sitting quietly, she drew aside the curtain and got off the carriage. Before getting off, she asked Wen Ping to stay here and look after An Yu as well.
As soon as Ye Qiongying left, An Yu, who had been feeling aggrieved just now, snorted at Wen Ping, and moved away to hide to the side, almost sticking to the carriage, which directly widened the distance between the two of them.
Wen Ping was almost laughing at this boy:
"Hey! You guys, you change your face so quickly, don't you? There's nothing dirty on me, is there any need to hide like this?"
When she first saw this young man in the restaurant, she was amazed by his appearance.
Now I know that appearance means nothing. With this personality, it would be good enough if she doesn't get angry to death. Who would care about appearance?
But An Yu ignored her completely. He just turned the back of his head towards this side, quietly lifted the curtain of the carriage with his fingers, and looked out through the gap.
From this angle, other people couldn't see his expression at all.
The originally innocent face of the beauty finally revealed a bit of coldness at this moment, and all of a sudden the childish feeling disappeared.
Ye Qiongying had already gotten off the carriage and walked towards the government office.
There were already quite a few people around at this moment. The people brought by Ye Qiongying were still guarding the carriage. She and Uncle Ye were standing in the crowd, but they were not very conspicuous.
"Madam," several yamen runners outside the government office said to the woman in front of them, "The Anyu you mentioned is indeed not with us. We are also entrusted by someone to find her family. If you want to find your son, why don't you wait here? I will call someone to take..."
"I think you just want to buy time," said a woman wearing gold and silver standing opposite them, "Is it because my son is so handsome? Okay, okay, we ordinary people can't go against the government. If you like that boy, you have to give him the money, right? It's not right to get a boy for free."
The woman wore gold jewelry on her hair, neck, and wrists, and her clothes were made of brocade. She looked very rich.
At least, that's what it seems to ordinary people.
But to someone like Ye Qiongying, who was born into a wealthy family, she could tell the difference at first sight.
Those jewelries looked exaggerated and luxurious, but actually the gold used was not pure. It was obvious that they were old items with a lot of impurities mixed in them. They looked gray and not as golden as new jewelries.
Moreover, not much material is used. It feels light in the hand. It only has a rough shape and is hollow inside.
Even her clothes, the fabric and pattern were outdated, and some parts could even be seen to have been washed many times, and the color had faded.
Maybe it is very carefully maintained, so no patch has appeared yet.
Ye Qiongying is already very familiar with this situation.
After all, her ex-husband's family was wealthy, but later became impoverished, and many items in the house were in this condition.
She waved back.
Someone from the team beside the carriage quickly came over:
"Big girl?"
"Go check who this person is," Ye Qiongying ordered, "especially her family's financial situation and children..."
If one could barely say that her initial speech was a sign of deep love for her son, but the latter part...how could that be the kind of words a mother who loves her child would say?
The men took the order and left, and Ye Qiongying looked over there again.
After the woman finished speaking, the people following her also shouted:
"Yes! My sister has already said that the person belongs to you, so you should pay the money, right? Do you still want to dip your fingers in salt?"
"Either hand over the person or pay the money. The government can't be unreasonable!"
……
There was another older man who said to the woman:
"Big sister, you can't say that. I've given you the money, how can you send the person to someone else? There should be a first come first served principle in business!"
Ye Qiongying thought her hearing was pretty good, and she was able to hear what was said amid the noise of the crowd.
She frowned and looked at the two men.
"Miss, An Yu's family... I'm afraid there are some problems." Uncle Ye is also a martial artist, and his senses are sharper than ordinary people, so he naturally heard these words.
There are not just some problems, this is a complete disaster.
At the gate of the government office, the bailiffs were a little overwhelmed. They didn't expect to encounter such a few weirdos.
But the master had been called to the palace and didn't know when he would be back, so they didn't know what to do.
You can't really give money to get rid of disasters, right?
Not to mention whether this woman would ask for an exorbitant price, directly calling out a high price that these small yamen runners could not afford.
Besides, if the silver was really given, wouldn't it be acknowledging that the government had taken a fancy to the other person's son and deliberately hid him and did not return him?
At this moment, they saw Ye Qiongying squeezing through the crowd and walking towards here.
Suddenly his eyes lit up.
Isn't this Miss Ye? She was the one who asked the government to investigate this matter.
The bailiff was about to call for help, but suddenly it occurred to him that the woman and her group were really unreasonable. If he exposed the matter now, wouldn't it bring disaster upon Miss Ye?
When they are pestered, it will just cause them a headache or two, and they will know how to solve the problem when the adults come back.
But if it leads to Miss Ye, and if a conflict arises and she gets hurt... then it won't be something that can be solved by just paying some money.
Several yamen runners quickly gave up the idea of calling for help, and even wanted to hint to Ye Qiongying to leave quickly and not be noticed.
Ye Qiongying would not leave these troubles to the innocent yamen runners, so she walked forward directly:
"Are you Anyu's family?"
The sudden sound caught the woman's attention. When she turned around, she saw Ye Qiongying and her eyes immediately lit up.
What a fat sheep!
