Chapter 1215 Ye Cui’s suspicion!
Seeing An Miaoyi lowering her head and not speaking, Ye Cui looked at her deeply and then began to speak:
"Miaoyi, do you know how Zibo contracted this disease?"

An Miaoyi's doubts about Ye Cui's question grew stronger. After Cui Zibo's syphilis was exposed, some details about his illness, such as the fact that he had sex with several women in brothels at night, were also dug up by people...
Ye Cui had gone out of the house to visit Cui Shao before. An Miaoyi believed that Ye Cui should know the news, but if that was the case, why did Ye Cui ask?

Although she didn't know the reason why Ye Cui asked this question knowing the answer, An Miaoyi said in a low voice while meeting Ye Cui's gaze:
"It is rumored that Cui Zibo was criticized by his uncle and became unhappy, so he went to a brothel to fool around, and that's why he contracted this disease!"

After listening to An Miaoyi's words, Ye Cui looked at her deeply and said in a deep voice:
"Miaoyi, can you tell me if this is really the case?"

After hearing this, An Miaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then she was also very puzzled:
"That's what the rumor says! Why do you say that, mother?"

Facing An Miaoyi's question, Ye Cui did not give any answer, but closed her eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Miaoyi, tell me if Mingsheng did this."

An Miaoyi was also very shocked when she saw Ye Cui mentioned Ye Mingsheng's name. She didn't understand what the connection was between Cui Zibo's syphilis and Ye Mingsheng who was far away in Huainan.

Seeing An Miaoyi's shocked expression, Ye Cui also said to herself:

"Miaoyi, although I don't leave the house usually, I am not deaf, let alone blind. I know that my third brother Cui Shao has a very high prestige in the court, which is also feared by Mingsheng. As early as when he was in Liaoyang, although Mingsheng valued his third uncle, he was always on guard against him!"

“If the Fengwu Army had not been fighting all these years and needed my third brother to stay in the rear and make plans, I’m afraid my third brother Cui Shao would have been captured by Mingsheng long ago…”

At this point, an expression of pain and helplessness emerged on Ye Cui's face. Ye Cui was also born into a prominent family. She was not the kind of rural woman without vision. Having studied in a private school, she knew very well that one should not allow others to snore beside one's bed. She also knew how the power struggle was a life-and-death struggle!
For this old lady, on one side is her third brother and her mother's family, and on the other side is her own son. It can be said that both sides of the hand are flesh and blood. She is really torn and doesn't know what to do!
Ye Cui had been thinking about the solution to this problem for countless days and nights, and she prayed to the gods and Buddhas to give her some inspiration!
After thinking for such a long time, Ye Cui also came up with some ideas. Specifically, this idea is to ensure that the position of An Miaoyi and Ye Jingren, mother and son, is not shaken.

Although An Miaoyi's surname is An, not Cui, after years of development, An Miaoyi and the Cui family have almost formed an inseparable community of interests. There are intricate ties between the two sides. Therefore, once Ye Mingsheng wants to take action against the Cui family, An Miaoyi will definitely dissuade Ye Mingsheng.

Although Ye Cui knew that Ye Mingsheng did not love An Miaoyi very much, as the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother. Ye Cui believed that An Miaoyi and Jingren, mother and son, still had an important position in Ye Mingsheng's heart. Therefore, if An Miaoyi and Jingren tried their best to dissuade him, it might be possible for Ye Mingsheng to change his mind!

It was with this idea in mind that Ye Cui unwaveringly became An Miaoyi’s biggest backer in the Ye Mansion, and when An Miaoyi and Ye Mingsheng had a conflict, she did not hesitate to intervene personally to help An Miaoyi ease the relationship between her and Ye Mingsheng...
Deep down, Ye Cui hoped very much that Ye Mingsheng could live in peace with Cui Shao and even the Cui family, that everyone could live in harmony and intimacy. The Cui family would do their best to assist Ye Mingsheng, and Ye Mingsheng would also ensure that the Cui family would be prosperous and wealthy for generations!

Therefore, Ye Cui was very relieved in the past few days, thinking that everything she had done might be unnecessary worries. However, the incident with Cui Zibo made Ye Cui realize that the relationship between the two sides might not be so harmonious!

Ye Cui was very worried about the harmony between the two parties because Ye Mingsheng had not yet conquered the world and therefore still needed the help of the Cui family.

If this is the case, then it means that now that Ye Mingsheng has conquered the world, the Cui family is no longer of any use, so Cui Shao and the Cui family have become thorns in Ye Mingsheng's eyes and thorns in his flesh!
Looking at Ye Cui with her eyes closed and a look of pain on her face, although An Miaoyi didn't know what Ye Cui was thinking specifically, she could probably guess something.

An Miaoyi took a deep breath, and then said firmly:

"Mother, I don't know if it was my uncle who told you something, but I can tell you that this was definitely not something that my husband sent anyone to do!"

"My husband is a great hero, a great man, how could he do such a despicable and shameless thing that would make people despise him?"

"My husband has great ambitions. He will not be satisfied with unifying the world. He has set his sights on Dongdao, Nanyang, and even more distant overseas. He believes that these places will be opportunities for the development of the new dynasty!
"So you can tell your uncle to rest assured that he will never do such things as cook the dogs after the rabbit is dead or hide the good bows after the birds are gone!"

“My uncle is still the pillar of the country that my husband relies on very much. The future Xin Dynasty will need him to continue working hard...”

An Miaoyi said this with absolute certainty, without the slightest hesitation, so Ye Cui was somewhat moved when she heard these words. She waved her hand and said:
"Although I went to see your uncle, he didn't tell me anything!"

An Miaoyi also continued to speak righteously after hearing this:
"Mother, those who say that my husband did this are damnable! They just want to sow discord and create conflicts, so that these evil spirits and despicable villains will have the opportunity to cause chaos. Mother, you must not fall for their evil scheme! Let the relatives be sad and the enemies be happy."

Ye Cui's expression changed slightly when she heard this, and then she nodded and said:

"Mother knows!"

An Miaoyi wanted to continue emphasizing, but seeing that Ye Cui looked a little tired, she tactfully bowed and left.

After returning to her own courtyard with an expressionless face, An Miaoyi immediately instructed Qiqige, "Who is investigating Cui Zibo's case? Has the Ministry of Justice intervened?"

Qiqige blinked and whispered:
"Madam, according to the procedure, someone needs to report the case for the Ministry of Justice to intervene. As for Cui Zibo contracting a dirty disease while visiting brothels, the Cui family will not report the case as they are too busy covering it up. And without a report, the Ministry of Justice will naturally not intervene!
“However, it is said that the Yijing government office is investigating this matter. After all, the brothel that Cui Zibo went to has a license, and the women inside are also subject to regular inspections. So now that something has happened, the government office must conduct an investigation according to regulations. But it seems that because the matter is not complicated, their investigation is about to end..."

Hearing the words "regular check-ups", An Miaoyi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then whispered to Qiqige:

"I want to see the Yijing government's investigation file on this matter! Keep it secret and don't let anyone else know!"

Although he didn't know why An Miaoyi was so concerned about this matter, seeing his wife's serious look, Qiqige nodded and responded without hesitation:

"Ma'am, I'll arrange it right away!"

"Ok!"

After explaining to Qiqige, An Miaoyi pondered for a while, then came to the desk, took out a piece of letter paper and spread it on the table.

After completing this step, An Miaoyi did not start writing immediately, but fell into thought again.

If Ye Cui hadn't said it today, An Miaoyi would have really believed that Cui Zibo's illness was a simple matter of pursuing prostitutes. After all, An Miaoyi, who came from a prominent family, had been accustomed to seeing men who couldn't control their lower bodies and fooled around with all kinds of women since she was a child!
There are many people like Cui Zibo who found themselves sick after fooling around, so An Miaoyi really didn’t think too much about this matter, and didn’t associate it with Ye Mingsheng.

But Ye Cui's question just now can be said to have ignited the spark of doubt in An Miaoyi's heart!

Although An Miaoyi was not surprised by such things, but because it was related to the Cui family and Cui Shao, she actually did have a brief understanding of it. According to what she knew, although Cui Zibo had had promiscuous relationships with women before, he did not go to brothels to have sex. Instead, he accepted a few women sent by others and kept them in a luxurious house outside...

Although these women were of low status, their bodies were still clean. Even the two women who came from brothels were considered to be pure prostitutes who sold their art but not their bodies.

Therefore, although Cui Zi Bo was promiscuous during the period of keeping a beautiful girl in a golden house, he did not get sick. Cui Zi Bo got sick because he was criticized by his father later and became mentally unbalanced after learning that Cui Hang was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel as a doctor. He went to that brothel and slept with Cui Hang, who was enjoying the feasting and drinking, and got sick!

However, Cui Zibo only stayed in that brothel for a few days in total, and that brothel was licensed and a place where women underwent regular inspections. So was Cui Zibo really so unlucky that he fell into the trap by accident?
Even though An Miaoyi solemnly assured Ye Cui in front of her at that time that Ye Mingsheng was a great hero and would never let anyone do such a thing!
However, An Miaoyi herself had no idea whether Ye Mingsheng actually sent anyone to do this kind of thing. The reason why she assured Ye Cui and told her not to have any extra thoughts about it was because the butt determines the head!
She, An Miaoyi, is Ye Mingsheng’s wife and the mother of Ye Mingsheng’s eldest son, Ye Jingren. Therefore, her interests are highly tied to Ye Mingsheng’s. So in An Miaoyi’s view, whether or not Ye Mingsheng sent someone to do this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this matter must not have been done by Ye Mingsheng…

It was precisely because of this that she acted so confident in front of Ye Cui and was so determined to believe in Ye Mingsheng!

Although An Miaoyi was not sure whether Ye Mingsheng had someone do it, but as a wife, based on her understanding of Ye Mingsheng, An Miaoyi was more inclined to believe that Ye Mingsheng did not give the order and was not aware of it!
An Miaoyi knows that Ye Mingsheng will sometimes do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, but An Miaoyi believes that Ye Mingsheng still has a bottom line and pride!

The things that Ye Mingsheng is willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish basically have two characteristics. The first characteristic is that this thing is very tempting and attractive to Ye Mingsheng. The second characteristic is that normal means are no longer enough to accomplish this thing, and he must break the bottom line to accomplish this thing.

So in this situation, Ye Mingsheng would stop at nothing to achieve his goal, even if it was dirty. However, for things that can be solved by normal means, Ye Mingsheng would still be very careful about his reputation and would not use any means necessary.

In An Miaoyi's opinion, if Ye Mingsheng used the same method he used to attack Cui Zibo to attack Cui Shao and the Cui family, it would barely make sense logically!

But the problem is that letting Cui Zibo contract syphilis is too despicable. If Ye Mingsheng really wants to strike Cui Zibo, there is no need to use such means...

Putting aside the question of whether Cui Zibo is clean or not, just framing someone on work issues is a casual thing. There is no need to use such means. This is totally unlike Ye Mingsheng's past style!
Because of this, An Miaoyi tends to believe that Ye Mingsheng was unaware of this matter because he did not give the order. However, Ye Mingsheng’s lack of order does not mean that this matter was not done by the Coordination Office or even the Internal Security Bureau!
An Miaoyi knew very well that in order to please Ye Mingsheng, the ministers of the court were all trying to figure out Ye Mingsheng's thoughts, hoping to please Ye Mingsheng and gain his appreciation and promotion!

Therefore, it cannot be completely ruled out that this incident was caused by Wang Xuecheng or even the internal security team who tried to guess Ye Mingsheng's intentions and acted on their own!
Thinking of this, An Miaoyi also began to write. She wanted to write a letter to Ye Mingsheng, telling him about Ye Cui's suspicion, in order to show him that she, An Miaoyi, had always stood on his side. An Miaoyi believed that this move would be able to gain more points in Ye Mingsheng's heart.

In addition to telling Ye Mingsheng about Ye Cui's suspicion, An Miaoyi believed that Ye Cui's suspicion was not something she came up with on her own, but it was very likely that someone had slandered Ye Cui. Therefore, An Miaoyi planned to investigate who had seen Ye Cui in the past few days, in order to analyze who was more likely to have slandered Ye Cui!

But as a daughter-in-law, investigating her mother-in-law is not a good thing, so An Miaoyi must report to Ye Mingsheng··················
