Chapter 155 The Person in the White Brocade Robe

When Ye Yaoyao returned home, she learned that Ye Li'an had been hit by a carriage, so she rushed to see him and carefully examined him.

"I was kicked in the back by a horse, and it's pretty bad. My face is also scraped and bruised. Brother, take off your clothes and I'll massage it for you."

"No need, I already had a massage at the clinic."

"No, I need to check it again."

"Li An, let Yao Yao get checked out, so that Mother can feel at ease," Liu Yunshu said anxiously.

“Okay!” Ye Lian took off his clothes, revealing heavy bruises on his back.

"It's too serious. We need to push it a little longer. Brother, bear with the pain."

Ye Yaoyao frowned as she looked at the severe bruises on Ye Li'an's back, her eyes filled with heartache.

Apply the medicated wine, gently press your hands on the bruises, and begin to massage.

"Big brother, if it hurts, just yell it out."

Ye Lian gritted his teeth, sweat pouring down his forehead, and said through gritted teeth, "Sister, I'm fine, you can push me as much as you want."

Liu Yunshu watched from the side, her eyes reddening, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from the brother and sister's brows.

Ye Yaoyao was very focused. If she didn't handle it properly, it would definitely leave her with a chronic illness in the future. After a while, she finally stopped.

"Alright, brother, you'd better not move around too much for the next three days. Just lie down and rest. I'll get you some ointment to apply."

Ye Lian nodded, "Little sister, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Yunshu stepped forward and said, "Li An, you should rest well and not worry about anything else."

A few minutes later, Ye Yaoyao applied the heated ointment to his back.

Ye Lian was already exhausted and fell asleep with his eyes closed. Ye Yaoyao went out to find Xin Chuli to find out what was going on.

The mother and daughter came out, and Ye Mian looked anxious as he was pushed around to wait outside.

"Madam, how is Li An?"

“You’re injured, but you won’t die,” Liu Yunshu said coldly.

"Who attacked him?" Ye Mian was also puzzled. How could Ye Li'an be so lucky?

Liu Yunshu sneered. He really knew how to act. Just as she was about to say something sarcastic, Ye Yaoyao's thoughts came through.

[This really wasn't done by that scumbag father and his cronies. Could someone else be trying to get my brother into trouble? Could it be that well-hidden friend?]

"My elder brother has gone to sleep, Father, you should go back too!"

Ye Mian had someone push it back to Qingzhu Courtyard.

"Little sister Yaoyao, how long will it take for Brother Ye to recover from his injuries?"

"If you apply the medicine on time within three days, you will recover quickly, and you should be fine within seven days."

"The scientific expedition will last another two weeks, that's good." Xin Chuli felt relieved.

"Sister Xin, did you spot anyone suspicious when this happened?"

"The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't pay attention," Xin Chuli shook her head.

The fact that both carriages went berserk at the same time, one in front of the other, was certainly not an accident. The two coachmen were taken to Chang'an Prefecture.

"I'm going to Chang'an Prefecture."

"I'll go too."

Ye Jingyang followed the head constable in the prison to interrogate the two coachmen.

"I don't know why the horse went crazy; there really was no one who ordered it."

"Yes! I don't know why the horse went crazy. It's usually fine when carrying people."

The two drivers spent a long time explaining.

"The horse was found to have eaten something it shouldn't have. What did you feed it?"

"Officer, what can we eat? Just the fresh fodder we usually eat."

Ye Yaoyao was brought here, and Ye Jingyang explained the situation to her in a low voice.

"Little sister, I asked, but I couldn't get any information out of her."

They were hoping the system could determine whether they were lying.

【system. 】

The hosts were not lying.

"Officer, they don't seem to be lying. Let's check their previous movements and see who has been in close contact with the horse!"

After interrogation, they all admitted to delivering goods to an inn.

"Let's go check out Laifu Inn."

Those at Laifu Inn who had contact with the driver couldn't find anything wrong.

"No, it's not someone who's here to dine, is it?"

"We can only start by looking at those people."

Ye Yaoyao asked about the list of shopkeepers.

"Miss Ye, this is really difficult for me. There are so many people coming and going every day, it's impossible to keep an eye on everything." The shopkeeper looked troubled.

"Shopkeeper, all we need is the list of those two drivers before they left."

"There are also many people who don't recognize them."

"It's okay, just tell someone you know."

Ye Jingyang placed the ingot on the counter, and the shopkeeper accepted it.

"Alright! I'll have the waiter come over and tell you that he has a lot of people to serve."

Not long after, they left the inn with the list in their hands.

When Ye Lian returned, he had already woken up.

"Brother, we found Laifu Inn, and the waiter gave us a list."

Ye Yaoyao gave the list to Ye Li'an, which included several people he knew.

"We suspect it's one of them."

“After I left the academy, I went to the bookstore on East Street to find some books. Those who know my whereabouts know all of this.”

Ye Li'an looked at the names on the list, his lips pressed tightly together, his expression dark. There were still half a month until the imperial examination, and everyone had their own motives.

"Young Master, your friend has come to visit you," a servant announced from outside the door.

"What a coincidence, let them in."

Before long, four or five people arrived, with Wei Shaohan walking at the front, his eyes full of worry.

"Li An, I heard you were hit by a carriage on the street. How could you be so careless?"

"Yes! How did this happen? We heard about it and came to see you. How are you?"

The others echoed this sentiment, their faces showing the same anxiety.

"We don't want to miss seeing you at the exam venue in two weeks."

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ye Lian smiled, looking at them one by one, and none of them seemed to be acting strangely.

[System, check them one by one.]

【OK! 】

"Little sister Yaoyao, how badly is your older brother injured?" Wei Shaohan asked anxiously.

"If it's serious, you won't be able to get into the college entrance exam."

"That won't do. It's not his hand that's injured. He can still write if he can bear it. We'll carry him in if necessary."

Looking at Ye Yaoyao's expression, Wei Shaohan knew that there was no major problem, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

[Host, it's not them.]

[These people just happened to go to Laifu Inn. If it wasn't them, then who else could it be?]

Ye Li'an breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it wasn't the people in front of him, and then he remembered the white brocade robe he had seen rushing by when he fell to the ground.

After looking at Ye Lian and joking around for a while, the group told the injured person to rest well before heading back.

"Brother, does anyone else know you went to the bookstore?"

"Just them, but it's possible that others know as well."

"Hmm! Maybe they told someone else. Brother, can you think of anyone else?"

Ye Li'an hesitated for a long time before finally expressing his doubts.

"When I fell to the ground, I saw a person in a white brocade robe hurrying past at the alley entrance. I wonder if he was the person behind it all?"

“Brother, you should rest well. I’ll go investigate.”

Ye Yaoyao got up to leave, but Ye Li'an stopped her.

"Little sister, you suspect him?"

"Brother, you have your doubts too, don't you?"
