step by step

Chapter 131
Although she didn't smile much at that time, she was willing to listen to Ye Fugui calling her.

The two servant girls looked at each other, not daring to say anything, and lowered their heads guiltily.

Seeing their reactions, Ye Zhaoyan wondered what might have happened.

She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the resentment in her heart, "Don't report what you know, and deal with it according to government regulations!"

The two little maids trembled slightly when they heard the words, and knelt down to the ground.

"Miss, I dare not hide from you. The Xue family didn't come before. Sister Xiyun was fine, and she treated us well. But since the Xue family came to pack things that day, sister Xiyun has changed. , became weird, and sometimes said that she didn’t know the slaves, she hated us.” A little maid cried.

"Which time?" Ye Zhaoyan was full of doubts.

In her memory, apart from the few days when Mrs. Xue was sent back to Xue's house, Xue's family came to make trouble twice, so she didn't have any more memories.

During those two times, Xiyun was kept in the house, and she didn't see anyone from Xue's family.

After those two episodes, Xiyun's mind was still normal, if something happened, it must not be because of it.

"Missy went out of the house that day, so naturally she didn't know about it." Another little maid said timidly: "The previous two times people from Xue's family came to ask for things and failed. People's things, wanting to return them to their original owners, but the nanny who accompanied them brought a half-dead man and an old woman, saying that she wanted to kneel down and admit her mistakes to Sister Xiyun."

Ye Zhaoyan frowned, "A half-dead man?"

"The man's name is Tong Laoliu, and the old woman is his mother. The woman said that her son offended Sister Xiyun, and she wanted to say something to her to make amends," the little maid said tremblingly. Near the courtyard, sister Xiyun wanted to leave, so the woman fell to the ground crying and begging for forgiveness, the woman cried miserably, crying so much that many maids and women in the mansion looked sideways."

The little maid who was speaking saw Ye Zhaoyan's face getting colder and colder, his voice getting smaller and smaller, and gradually became silent.

Ye Zhaoyan frowned and looked at the other maid, "Come on!"

"Yes." The little girl's voice was also trembling, "I remember, sister Xiyun reluctantly agreed, but said she would not be in front of so many people, so the old woman told us to go far away. So let the servants watch from a distance, don't make any mistakes. The servants have been watching the three of them closely from a distance, while Tong Laoliu and the mother-in-law are talking on the sidelines, not approaching Sister Xiyun, but Sister Xiyun was stunned for a long time after hearing this. When the two left, the servant girl wanted to go up to see Sister Xiyun, but she turned away and left quickly. The servant girl could not follow her to Sister Xiyun's yard, so she didn't know what she thinks."

Ye Zhaoyan was even more puzzled after hearing this.

The Xue family has never done anything that is not beneficial, so why would they go to such lengths to make amends to Xiyun?
She didn't believe that the Xue family had such "useless" kindness.

"Why is that woman crying and yelling to kneel down for Xiyun?"

The little maid said: "The woman said from the very beginning that it was her family's sixth child who hurt sister Xiyun's heart, and the Xue family was furious. If she couldn't get forgiveness from sister Xiyun, she would no longer be able to work in the Xue family, and she would not be able to support the family. people"

"Where is that woman now?" Ye Zhaoyan asked.

"My servant heard from Sister Qingxiang that she had already been driven away by the Ye Mansion. But the people from the Xue family said that they hadn't finished moving the things, and they had to choose another day to come to the door. They also told the servant that they must call Sister Xiyun when the time comes. It's just that The maidservants don't understand, the Minzhu courtyard has been evacuated, and only some worthless old clothes are left, why come again?" The little maid was a little confused.

Ye Zhaoyan's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the Xue family wanted to take this opportunity to put their calculations on Xiyun and force her to do something?
Thinking of Xiyun's reaction today, Ye Zhaoyan's face suddenly became gloomy.

Xiyun is now in high spirits and can't stand more stimulation, so she can't ask her about it right away.

If it is really as I guessed, then the Xue family is simply too despicable and dirty!
"Miss, look." Seeing this, Lian Luo looked at Ye Zhaoyan worriedly.

Ye Zhaoyan said lightly: "Since the Xue family hasn't finished packing their things, let them come to the door earlier."

She wanted to see what the Xue family wanted to do.

"Yes! This servant will do it right away." Zhuyu replied quickly.

Ye Zhaoyan nodded, and then said: "Clean Xiyun's room again, and ask the maids to add a few more clothes to prevent her from freezing. Starting today, send a few more people to look after her, and never let her out of sight again." .”

"This..." the two little maids glanced at each other, both showing hesitation.

Xiyun is so out of order, I'm afraid it's not easy to follow too closely.

They absolutely can't force Xiyun, lest they irritate her, but in this way, many things will become very embarrassing.

Seeing this, Lian Luo said: "Miss Xiyun looks like this, I'm afraid it's not good to look at. In a situation like just now, those maids can't handle it. Miss, do you think this is okay? Why don't I take care of Miss Xiyun?" Keep watch in the dark in the yard, just in case."

Ye Zhaoyan shook his head and refused, "Xiyun is afraid of men now, it will be inconvenient for you to go."

Lian Luo looked at the little maid who was kneeling on the ground, hesitant to speak, "Commander Ye ordered me to keep Miss Xiyun's life safe, and if anything happens, I will bear the blame. I guarantee with my head that I will never be tough." Forcing Miss Xiyun, please let the eldest lady do it."

Ye Zhaoyan was a little moved when he heard this.

When Lian Luo said this, it was clear that he wanted to do his best to keep Xiyun.

Ye Zhaoyan saw that he insisted on this, thought for a while, and finally nodded and agreed, "Okay! Just watch carefully, don't make mistakes. If there is any change, report it immediately."

Lian Luo cupped his hands in thanks, "Miss Xie, it's all done."

He gently hugged the person in his arms, looked at her pale and thin face, frowned and turned to leave.

Early the next morning, people from Xue's family came to visit.

When the people from Xue's family arrived, Ye Zhaoyan happened to change the medicine for his arm.

The wound on the elbow was not shallow, and it hurt a little when he moved.

Ye Zhaoyan frowned, feeling bitter in his heart.

This kind of physical pain is really nothing compared to the pain Xi Yun suffered.

After the members of the Xue family arrived, Ye Zhaoyan did not show up, and asked people to lead the members of the Xue family into the house, ordered the servant girl to bring tea and water, and led them into the inner room.

I saw two gorgeously dressed women covered in jewels slowly walked into the house with the support of a few maidservants.

The older woman on the left was full of anxiety, while the younger woman on the right stood quietly, her eyes glanced at the woman on the left from time to time, with a somewhat dodgy expression.

Standing behind them were a few burly, muscular burly men, who could tell at a glance that they were not good people.

Ye Zhaoyan saw this scene behind the screen, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Those who came from the Xue family were not kind!
