The high threshold of a house was a building habit since ancient times. Many wealthy families had high threshold, which represented a ” noble family.” In the Great Chu Country, there were many requirements.
It was a symbol of the master’s dignity and status. When the officials entered the kings door, they had to walk sideways and not step on the threshold. It was the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects, and it was the distinction between superiority and inferiority.
The height of the threshold for ordinary people was divided into several types. It could be five inches, which was the number of earth in the five elements. It can be three inches and six minutes, and the number is the same as the days of a year. It can be one inch and two minutes, which is the same number as the months of a year.
Now, it seemed that the high threshold used by the Ye family was probably to show their unique identity.
After crossing the threshold, they entered the front courtyard. With the servant leading the way, they soon arrived at the backyard.
There was no one in the front yard. It was not until they entered the backyard that they finally saw the Ye family.
“There’s actually such a strange person in the world. “Xu Bai said subconsciously.
There were people coming and going in the backyard, men and women, old and young, but they all had one thing in common.
Ugly.
Really ugly!
Although it was not to the point of being infinitely ugly, everyone was ugly in their own way. It was simply unbelievable.
The Ye family used to be in the business of carrying corpses, so they had to be ugly to do so. Xu Bai did not know how they passed down their good genes, but he had never seen anyone who looked normal.
These two servants were considered normal. After all, they were only hired by the Ye family to guard the gate and were not members of the Ye family, so their appearances were much more normal.
When Xu Bai and Yun Zihai walked in, they naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding people. A woman in her forties walked over.
Just now, Xu Bai felt that everyone was ugly and unique, and this woman was the same.
He couldn’t tell where it was ugly. In any case, every part of it looked extremely ugly.
“Greetings, Lord Yun, this Lord and this lady. May I know why you have come to the Ye family?”The woman bowed slightly, very polite.
The servant hurriedly introduced, “This is the Eldest Mistress. She happened to be in the residence, so she came over.”
First Madam was naturally the wife of the Ye family’s master.
“I have something to do. I’m going to look for your Ye family’s master. I have some questions that I want to ask him.”The clouds came from the sea.
Knowing Yun Zihai’s identity, Lady Wang did not dare to offend him. She quickly asked the servants to bring them to the guest hall and went to find the Ye family’s master.
The servant brought them to a luxurious room, served them a pot of good tea, and left.
Chu Yu appeared listless as if she was not interested in anything around her. Instead, she was extremely interested in the prison cell from before.
After all, she was born in the royal family. She had seen all kinds of splendor and wealth. To Chu Yu, all of this was too normal. She was even a little poor.
On the contrary, Chu Yu was even more interested in the novel item.
The few of them did not drink any tea and waited patiently. After less than half an incense stick’s time, a commotion came from outside, accompanied by a few screams.
“Something happened.” Xu Bai and Yun Zihai looked at each other and took the lead to walk out to observe the situation outside.
Outside, there were a lot of people running in the direction of the house, as if there was something big going on.
“Let’s go take a look.”
Xu Bai and the others didn’t say anything else. They followed behind and rushed in that direction.
The Ye family’s house was very big. It took them a few minutes to reach their destination.
It was an extremely luxurious house. From the appearance of the decoration, it seemed that a lot of money had been spent to build it.
At this moment, the house was surrounded by a sea of people.
From the outside, he could not see anything strange, but he could hear some crying.
“Move aside!” Yun Zihai frowned and shouted, causing the surrounding people to turn their heads.
These people from the Ye Family naturally recognized Yun Zihai’s identity and did not dare to block in the middle. They all made way for Yun Zihai and the others to walk in.
The door of the luxurious house was wide open. Lady Wang was kneeling on the ground and crying. Xu Bai walked closer and heard the sound of crying. “Why can’t you take it! If there’s anything, you can say it and discuss it with everyone!”
“If you leave, the burden of such a big family will fall on me. How can I support
“Why did you abandon the entire Ye family? Why did you leave alone?”
The wails were endless.
When Xu Bai got closer, he saw a corpse lying on the ground.
There was a knife stabbed into the chest of the corpse. It was obviously a fatal wound, and blood was gushing out of the wound.
There was nothing unusual in the house, but there was a letter not far from the corpse.
The letter was open. Obviously, Lady Wang had read it.
Xu Bai bent down and picked up the letter from the ground.
At this moment, Lady Wang saw Xu Bai and the others, but she didn’t say anything and just cried.
Xu Bai opened the crumpled letter and read it from top to bottom. His frown deepened.
[I sent people to attack the order without permission. I’m the most evil person.
I only hope that I die to protect the Ye family.]
It was a simple sentence, but it described the cause and effect of the matter clearly without any delay.
“Take a look.” Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and handed the letter to Yun Zihai..
