Ye Chuchu: 【Ah, ah, ah! My father is going to official court to file a complaint. I’m so excited!】
【Zhazha, let’s follow them to watch the fun.】
Zhazha giggled: 【Alright, alright! Tomorrow morning, this will definitely be a headline that shocks the entire city.】
After shouting, Ye Changlin sat back down on the armchair with his head lowered, picking at his fingernails.
Ye Chuchu was puzzled: 【Huh?】
【Isn’t my father going to report this to the officials?】
【Why is he sitting there motionless after shouting?】
Zhazha: 【Hmm… after all, it’s not an honorable matter. Your father should be building up his resolve.】
Ye Changlin: …
Building up his resolve, his foot!
He was waiting for evidence.
Didn’t that Zhazha just tell him to check the evidence of Chen-shi hiring a assassin to murder his virtuous wife fifteen years ago?
He had to get the evidence before he could step into the Court of Judicial Review’s government office!
Ye Chuchu: 【Oh, right. This is going to expose the matter of the vast green grassland on top of his head. He really does need to build up his resolve; an ordinary person wouldn’t have this kind of courage.】
Ye Changlin wanted to cry but had no tears. Wasn’t he being driven up Mount Liang and left with no way out? Otherwise, who would want to tear away their own face and pride?
After a short while, Ye Chuchu looked at Ye Jinmo, who had already applied the Daktarin athlete’s foot cream.
【Eldest Brother has already washed his feet, so why hasn’t my father built up his resolve yet?】
【Is it really that difficult?】
Zhazha: 【Little Chuchu, why don’t you urge your father?】
Ye Chuchu: 【Fine!】
【Wait, I’m a mute right now and can’t speak. How do I urge him?】
Zhazha: 【Oh, right. Does Little Chuchu want to exchange for the Voice Pill now?】
Ye Chuchu looked at Ye Changlin, Ye Jinmo, and the others in the room, pursing her lips: 【There are a bit too many people here. If I inexplicably take out a medicinal pill, won’t they treat me like a monster?】
The Ye father and son duo: We won’t, we won’t! Hurry up, exchange for it and eat it!
Zhazha: 【Alright, then I’ll exchange it for Little Chuchu in a moment.】
【Little Chuchu, you can’t open your mouth to talk right now, but you can write words.】
Ye Chuchu: 【Oh right, Zhazha is so smart.】
Just as Ye Chuchu wanted to look for a brush and ink, Ye Changlin coughed and looked toward Ye Jinmo.
Ye Jinmo was also thinking just now about how to open his mouth to remind his younger sister. Receiving his father’s hint at this moment, he hurriedly said: “Father, your son has been investigating the matter of Mother dying in the great fire all these years.”
“Your son feels something is amiss; it must have been caused by human hand.”
“Regrettably, your son has no evidence!”
Ye Jinmo clenched his fists tightly: “If your son uncovers evidence, I will definitely make the person who committed murder and arson pay a tragic price.”
The fury and sorrow radiating from Ye Jinmo’s body infected Ye Changlin and Ye Chuchu in the room.
Ye Chuchu’s eyes reddened slightly. She knew this was the original owner’s emotion for her mother.
Ye Chuchu: 【Zhazha, did you find the evidence of Chen-shi harming my mother back then?】
Zhazha: 【Little Chuchu, I found it, I found it! I wanted to tell you just now.】
【The murderer hired by Chen-shi back then was named Chen Dagou, who lived at Shili Slope in West Village on the outskirts of town. His wife, Zhou Dahua, also knows about this matter.】
【Chen Dagou is dead. All these years, Zhou Dahua has used this matter to threaten Chen-shi and has taken a lot of silver.】
Ye Chuchu: 【Threatened? Chen-shi isn’t a submissive person either. Since she could hire an assassin to kill my mother, why didn’t she hire an assassin to kill Zhou Dahua who was threatening her, instead of leaving such a calamity around?】
Zhazha: 【Little Chuchu, that Zhou Dahua isn’t a fool either. She knew Chen-shi wouldn’t let her off, so she placed the evidence in a very safe place a long time ago.】
【Zhou Dahua declared that as long as Chen-shi killed her, someone would send that evidence to the Court of Judicial Review and proclaim Chen-shi’s evil deeds to the world.】
Ye Chuchu: 【Wow, Zhou Dahua did a great job!】
Bam!
Ye Changlin slammed the tea table fiercely!
Ye Chuchu was startled: 【Which of my father’s nerves is wrong again?】
【Using so much force, doesn’t his hand hurt?】
Zhazha: 【Your father is probably driven mad with anger!】
Full of rising fury, Ye Changlin stood up with a swoosh: “Mo’er, I didn’t expect you to also hold suspicions regarding your mother’s death.”
“Your father has also been investigating this matter all these years. Heaven does not disappoint those who are faithful, and your father has finally uncovered the key figure.”
Ye Jinmo clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red: “Father has found out who did it?”
Ye Changlin snorted coldly, placing his hands behind his back and straightening his posture: “The scoundrel who murdered my virtuous wife was called Chen Dagou. His wife is precisely Zhou Dahua of Shili Slope in West Village on the outskirts of town!”
Ye Changlin’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Today, I will definitely make that scoundrel pay the price he deserves.”
Ye Jinmo stood up and said respectfully, “Father is wise. Your child will go together with Father.”
Ye Changlin nodded, “Good!”
Ye Chuchu: 【Holy cow, my father is so amazing!】
【He has actually already found out about Zhou Dahua.】
【It must be that he also suspected Chen-shi all these years, which is why he didn’t enter her room.】
【My father really is a good man!】
Zhazha: 【Who says he isn’t? Little Chuchu, are we going to follow them to take a look?】
Ye Chuchu: 【Heehee, we haven’t finished eating this gossip yet.】
【Moreover, this is to cry grievance for my mother and slay the enemy with our own hands. We must go.】
Ye Changlin looked at Ye Chuchu with a face full of heartache, his lips moving: “Chu’er, all these years your father was busy with official duties and neglected you. It is your father’s fault.”
“Can Chu’er find it in her heart to forgive Father?”
Ye Chuchu: 【Forgive your big head! I’ll look at your performance in the future.】
Thinking this in her heart, she still nodded obediently on her face.
Ye Changlin: …Is she really this two-faced between her mind and her expressions?
Ye Changlin sighed: “Chu’er, your father and your eldest brother are going to avenge your mother. Do you want to come along?”
Ye Chuchu nodded.
【Go, go, go! How can I miss such a lively event!】
Clang…
“I have a great grievance! Today I cry grievance along the street, the Court of Judicial Review must uphold justice for me…”
Ye Changlin wore a plain white robe, holding a gong and drum in his hand, shouting while striking it. He quietly observed the commoners who followed, straining his ears to listen to their discussions.
Ye Jinmo was also dressed in a plain white robe. Behind him were two servants pinning down Chen-shi, whose hair was disheveled, looking extremely wretched, and whose mouth was stuffed with a smelly sock. Four maids were also pinned down, their mouths stuffed as well.
Ye Chuchu wore a white dress. Seeing more and more commoners following behind them, she couldn’t help but secretly admire her old father.
The bigger this matter became, the better.
Only then could he cleanse himself and the Ye family completely from Chen-shi.
“Isn’t this the Minister of Rites, Lord Ye?”
“It’s so late, why is he still crying grievance along the street?”
“Standing beside him is Young General Ye who just returned to the capital after winning the war, right?”
“What kind of great grievance does the Ye family actually have?”
“Look quickly, look quickly! Is that woman being pinned down at the back Lord Ye’s wife, Chen-shi?”
“Oh my god, it really is Chen-shi!”
“This Chen-shi is the legitimate second daughter of Grand Tutor Chen!”
“There is going to be a good show to watch now.”
Someone in the crowd had already run hurriedly toward the Grand Tutor’s Residence.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Outside the Court of Judicial Review, the grievance-drum was struck so hard the sound shook the heavens.
Ye Changlin’s voice was also exceptionally rousing: “I, Ye Changlin, have a great grievance. I request the Court of Judicial Review to make decisions on behalf of my Ye family…”
