Only when the object smashed down onto the ground did Ye Wenyu see that what Ye Hei had thrown was a bundle, tied with a brightly polished long sword at the opening.
By the time Ye Wenyu looked up, Ye Hei's figure was no longer visible.
Picking up the long sword, its exterior might seem simple and unadorned, yet upon unsheathing, the sharp blade revealed that this was no ordinary item.
Unwrapping the bundle, he found some loose silver and two large-denomination silver notes, the rest were various bottles and jars.
Ye Gaosheng picked up one, which was labeled as a medicine for injuries, then picked up another, and it turned out to be a Sleeping Drug.
Looking at these items, Ye Wenyu couldn't help but burst into tears.
Turning around and gazing in the direction where Ye Jiu had been, despite not being able to see her, Ye Wenyu still spoke earnestly, "Little auntie, thank you."
Ye Wenyu was not a flamboyant person. Having nothing extraneous to offer or promise.
However, the kindness Ye Jiu had shown him was etched in his heart. If he were to unfortunately die on the battlefield, then so be it, he could only let down his little auntie.
If he were lucky enough to return with honor and recognition to his name, he would then protect his little auntie as he would his own life for the rest of his days.
By the time Ye Jiu returned home following Ye Hei's swift travel, it was already light.
The Ye Family had searched for Ye Wenyu all night, but all had returned without success.
As soon as Ye Jiu touched down in the courtyard, she heard Zhao's shrill voice rising from outside.
Just as Ye Jiu dismounted from Ye Hei's back, Zhao charged in, marching straight towards Ye Jiu with anger, "Little Auntie, although I'm not always nice, Wenyu has never offended you. How could you be so heartless as to wish him dead..."
No sooner had Zhao finished speaking than He came from behind, "Zhao, cut the bullshit. With Wenyu gone from home, instead of finding the reason within yourself, you blame Xiaojiu. I think you're just asking for it, and if you don't want to stay in the Ye family, get lost now!"
If Zhao had been apprehensive the night before, a night without catching up to Ye Wenyu had driven her into a panic.
At this moment, for the sake of her son, she could care less about being afraid.
"I'm not wrong. If little sister hadn't given him a horse, even if he wanted to leave, he wouldn't have been able to get away so quickly for us to be unable to catch up.
Moreover, when do such coincidences occur in this world? Giving the horse neither earlier nor later, but specifically the day before yesterday, and Wenyu left as soon as he got the horse. It's clear to me, little sister instigated it all!" Zhao argued persuasively, as if she had witnessed everything herself.
By chance, Ye Gaoshui heard that Zhao was causing trouble, fearing that she would offend He again, he hurried over and overheard everything.
With a stern face, Ye Gaoshui stepped in, "Zhao, have you said enough?"
Zhao turned around to see Ye Gaoshui's serious expression and felt a sudden jolt of fear, "Dear, I'm just worried about our child. A son is the apple of a mother's eye, and besides, Wenyu is heading to the battlefield. How can I just stand by and do nothing?"
Zhao didn't notice that, as she spoke these words, Ye Qingzhi, not far off, suddenly sneered, an expression that did not suit a child her age.
Ye Jiu didn't move away from Zhao, instead, she looked at Ye Gaoshui, not because she was afraid of Zhao, but because she wanted to see Ye Gaoshui's attitude this time.
