Chapter 345
"I clearly heard what you were discussing just now, and you also talked about food prices."
Li Yuezhu is very concerned about food prices. After all, he sells fruits and vegetables now. If food prices rise, it will have a great impact on him.
"Sister, you heard wrong."
Li Yuelan didn't want to talk about such a heavy topic in front of his sister. Even if he had doubts about this man, there was no evidence after all. Suspicions were just suspicions.
The reason why he had so recklessly accused the Crown Prince before was simply because he was worried that his sister would be wronged so that he could take the initiative.
"Brother, are you perfunctory with me?"
Li Yuezhu trusted his ears. He was holding something in his hand and was afraid that the soup would spill out, so he walked slowly. He clearly heard the movement outside the door.
Xuan Yue stood behind his young master, lowering his head, looking at his nose and heart, but said nothing.
In fact, he was very upset. Although Xuan Yue didn't want to be angry with his sister-in-law's brother, this boy named Li Yuelan was too young. Look at the questions he asked.
Li Yuelan murmured and said nothing. After all, he did say it just now, although he had no evidence yet.
"Xuan Yue! Say it!"
Li Yuezhu didn't want to embarrass his brother, let alone question Xiao Jinyan about this kind of thing, so Xuan Yue, who was standing in the corner, was shot for no reason.
"How can I say such a thing!"
Xuan Yue muttered in a low voice. On one side was his young master and on the other side was the aunt's brother. Neither of them could be offended. How could he be asked to stand in the middle?
"Are you going to say it or not?"
Li Yuezhu didn't know why her brother said that at that time, but she still believed him. Since he said so, it must not be based on rumors, although she didn't believe it either.
"Xuan Yue, tell me!"
Xiao Jinyan looked fearless and was actually drinking tea leisurely.
"Yes, yes..." Xuan Yue raised her eyes and looked at his young master carefully and then at the angry aunt: "The thing is like this, your brother suspected that my young master bought all the grain in the warehouse.
This has led to a surge in food prices this year."
After Xuan Yue said this, she stopped talking. After all, it is useless to talk more, and this young aunt is so smart, she should understand it by this point.
Li Yuezhu suddenly turned around, but the person she faced was not her brother, but Xiao Jinyan, who was leisurely sipping tea.
"Is what my brother said true?"
Xiao Jinyan paused while drinking tea, and sat there without speaking, but maintained this movement without moving.
Li Yuelan looked at his sister's behavior, and he didn't know that the two people knew each other. He had suspected that someone had kidnapped his sister before, but now it seemed that he had misunderstood.
"Sister, my brother just made a mistake and said the wrong thing. I haven't asked you why you came to the capital suddenly?"
Li Yuelan quickly changed the topic.
But after Li Yuezhu saw Xiao Jinyan's abnormality, he was convinced of what his brother said.
"My brother guessed it right, didn't he?"
Li Yuezhu felt a little sad, but still stubbornly asked cautiously.
"You girl have already guessed it, why do you need to ask so clearly again?"
Xiao Jinyan sighed and said helplessly.
Li Yuezhu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. In her impression, brother Jinyan had always been as gentle as jade and as pure as white, but she never expected that he would be a person who could drive people to their death.
"When food prices rise, what do you want the people to eat?"
Li Yuezhu was still choked up when he said this. Ancient times were no better than modern times. In ancient times, most people relied on the sky for food. Harvest was the lifeblood of farmers. Food was even heavier than gold to the ancients. How could brother Jinyan do this?
Xiao Jinyan still said nothing.
Li Yuelan didn't know how the two of them met, but looking at his sister's words, they seemed to be very familiar with each other. Although he didn't support his sister's unscrupulous behavior, he also wanted to know the identity of the prince.
What do you think?
"I'll tell you about this later. I finally met your brother. You two, brother and sister, have a good time together."
After Xiao Jinyan said this, he stood up and left. Xuan Yue also followed behind Xiao Jinyan, leaving only Li Yuezhu and Li Yuelan staring at each other.
Li Yuelan put down the things in her hands, walked to her sister, and carefully took her hand.
"Why are you dressed like this, girl?"
Li Yuezhu felt unhappy, and her thirst for knowledge made her feel very bad.
"Brother Jinyan knows that I am a girl, but for safety reasons, I still have to show myself in men's clothing."
Li Yuelan nodded after hearing this. He quite agreed with this approach.
"That's good, come and sit down and let me take a good look."
Li Yuelan had been in the capital for several months and really missed this naughty and mischievous sister. Now that there were no outsiders in the room, Li Yuelan gently hugged his sister's shoulders with a warm smile on his face.
"Why did my brother say that just now?"
Li Yuelan knew that her sister was still worried about this issue. Seeing her persistent little face, Li Yuelan finally sighed.
"When I first started, I really thought you were here, but when I came to this yard, I felt something was wrong. In this place where land is so valuable, most people can't afford a big house like this. Although you made some money,
, but you may not be able to afford a place like this.”
Li Yuelan explained his conjecture.
"After I entered the house and saw the Crown Prince again, I naturally thought that she had lured you here and wanted to blackmail me into doing something for him. That's why she spoke so openly. Don't worry about it."
Li Yuelan turned to comfort her sister.
"So what my brother just said was not based on speculation. You must have guessed something to threaten him with this!"
What Li Yuezhu didn't say was that Xiao Jinyan's approach was clearly his acquiescence.
"I didn't expect that he would be such a person."
The more Li Yuezhu thought about it, the angrier she became. In her heart, Jinyan's brother was kind and compassionate. Besides, he was weak and could collapse in the wind. Li Yuezhu would never think of him as a traitor.
Great evil people.
"Brother, why did he do this?"
Li Yuezhu's mind ached thinking about it, but he couldn't get the point at all. He originally wanted to chat with his brother about daily life, and the two of them were close to each other, but he was completely confused by such news.
"The prince should have his own way of doing things. You, don't worry too much."
Li Yuelan looked at her sister like this, and her curiosity became more and more serious.
"When did you two meet? Where did you meet?"
Li Yuezhu also knew that her brother was worried about her, so she briefly explained the whole process of their acquaintance.
"That's it, His Majesty is actually our neighbor."
Li Yuelan was even more surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect that their two families would be so close.
"No wonder you are so familiar with him."
