Chapter 385 - Chapter 385 385 looking for big brother number four

Chapter 385: 385 looking for big brother number four Chapter 385: 385 looking for big brother number four Sikong Mo had said yesterday that someone would come today to take her to find her fourth brother. She was waiting and already feeling a bit impatient.

At the same time, she was also worried whether Sikong Mo knew she was living here.

Ye Jiu always felt that a long time had passed, when in fact, it had only just been breakfast time.

And finally, the person she was waiting for arrived.

She had thought Sikong Mo would simply send a random guard to guide her, but to her surprise, it was Guard Si Nan who came.

Ye Jiu knew that although both were guards, there was a big difference in status. For example, Si Nan was Sikong Mo’s personal guard, a status that elevated him above many others.

Even some established Imperial Court officials didn’t necessarily have as much power as he did.

The saying, “An official at the Prime Minister’s gate holds the seventh rank,” was not just an idle remark.

Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng followed Si Nan onto a carriage, and after a convoluted journey, the carriage finally stopped.

Ye Jiu, unable to wait, squeezed out from behind the curtain, “Guard Si Nan, is my fourth brother here?”

Having said that, Ye Jiu’s complexion did not look very good.

The capital city was bustling, but there were also areas where the poor lived. The current scenery was not good, with muddy and messy roads, and the houses were even more dilapidated than their countryside home.

When her fourth brother left, the He family had given him plenty of silver–several hundred taels. Even if he had spent some in these past months, he shouldn’t have ended up in such a dire state, should he?

“Miss Ye’s brother has encountered some issues in the capital city, and his current state is not very good. I hope Miss Ye can be mentally prepared,” Si Nan began.

Ye Jiu felt a pang of anxiety in her heart.

Being in a bad state was not frightening, but what was frightening was exactly which state he was in.

“Please proceed, Miss Ye,” said Si Nan.

Ye Jiu felt heavy-hearted, especially after walking into the rundown courtyard.

Clearly, it was just a beggar’s den, with beggars of all sizes lying about.

Stopping her steps in fear, Ye Jiu’s voice trembled with fear, “Guard Si Nan, what exactly is wrong with my fourth brother?”

“Miss Ye should see for herself,” Si Nan, accustomed to life and death, was not particularly moved by Ye Gaosheng’s situation; he was here purely because of the Prince’s command and Ye Jiu’s special tie to their Prince.

Ye Jiu had no choice but to brace herself and walk inside.

As she entered the main gate, several beggars rushed toward her, “Kind sir, please spare something, we haven’t eaten in days…”

Sikong took the lead and pulled out a silver bar and threw it to a beggar in front, “Do you know where Ye Gaosheng is?”

…

In a corner of the dilapidated hall, a young beggar woke up Ye Gaosheng, who was still lying flat, “Brother Sheng, someone outside is looking for you, and they are more generous than those people from a few days ago.”

Ye Gaosheng had a bad feeling and hastily picked up a tree branch to support his crumbling body to get up. Through the ragged window, he looked towards the elegantly dressed person standing in the outer courtyard.

Then, Ye Gaosheng sighed with relief.

Fortunately, it wasn’t his little sister.

Some people had come looking for him a few days earlier, saying they wanted to take him away and settle him, but Ye Gaosheng had refused.

Having been away from home for almost half a year, Ye Gaosheng was no longer as naive as he was back at home, fully understanding that there are no free lunches in this world.

That person also said that his little sister had come to the capital to find him.

Ye Gaosheng didn’t believe it. His mother so dearly loved his little sister, even if his sister had really returned home, his mother wouldn’t let her come out to find him.
