step by step

Chapter 136
"Zhaoyan, she is talking nonsense! We are following the master's order to comfort Xiyun!" Mrs. Cui turned to Ye Zhaoyan and said.

When Ye Zhaoyan heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and his eyes were tightly locked on Mrs. Cui's face.

"Really? Then do you remember how you two threatened and lured you in this room just now?! And how you became so angry that you wanted to use violence and humiliation?" Ye Zhaoyan said word by word, with a cold tone, as if you were a hell Shura.

Madam Cui's heart trembled suddenly, a look of horror flashed across her eyes, and she subconsciously took half a step back.

This Ye Zhaoyan is not easy to be fooled at all, the current test cannot be passed.

Thinking of this, she no longer cared about face, turned around and fled outside.

She has to go back and report to Mrs. Xue and the master, and let them send someone over to take care of the matter...
Seeing her movements, Aunt Qiu hesitated for a moment, not daring to follow her.

Mrs. Cui only took a few steps when she felt her eyes blur. The next moment, she lost her center of gravity and fell out unexpectedly.

Mrs. Cui just felt her head go blank, blank.

Ye Zhaoyan kicked lightly with her toe, and she fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Slap!" She bumped into the little cockroach, and there was a sharp pain on her face, her forehead was cut, and blood slid down her cheeks, looking very embarrassed.

This fall was a solid one, and her nose was crooked. The pain made her cry, and her face was swollen and painful.

Seeing Mrs. Cui falling in front of her eyes, Aunt Qiu was so frightened that she quickly fell to her knees, obediently drooping her head, not daring to move.

Mrs. Cui was thrown to the ground, and when she regained her strength and raised her head, she saw Ye Zhaoyan looking down at her from above, with undisguised disgust and murderous intent in his deep black pupils. Let Mrs. Cui's heart tremble with fright.

"Ye Zhaoyan, you..." Mrs. Cui wanted to say something, but her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything, her throat seemed to be blocked, leaving only a tingling sensation.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and beat this wicked woman who offended the young lady..." Aunt Qiu suppressed the panic in her heart, and whispered to the two women not far away .

She already understood the crux of the problem, and this old lady Veng probably offended Ye Zhaoyan severely, which made them suffer as well.

Now only by calming Ye Zhaoyan's anger as soon as possible can he deal with the current level.

When the two women heard this, they shrank and did not dare to come forward. The wounds on their bodies were still painful, but they did not dare to test Ye Zhaoyan's bottom line.

Ye Zhaoyan sneered, grabbed Aunt Qiu's collar with one hand, dragged her forward two steps, and pulled Mrs. Cui up with the other hand, "Do you know what will happen to such calculating Xiyun?! "

Aunt Qiu's face was flushed when she was carried away, she just grabbed hold of her collar and breathed out, not daring to say a word.

"No...I..." Mrs. Cui wanted to argue, but she choked on Ye Zhaoyan's cold words.

"Just now I heard what you said clearly, and you still want to quibble?"

"I said, it was the Xue family's idea to persuade Miss Xiyun!" Madam Cui's face was flushed, and she shouted hoarsely, "It was the old lady who instigated me to do this, I am really innocent! Just let me go..."

"It's okay to let you go, but..." Ye Zhaoyan paused, and looked at the two people in front of him with a half-smile, "You have to admit your mistakes in front of the Xue family, and you have to take out ten thousand taels Come pay Xiyun with silver!"

"[-] taels?!" Madam Cui could barely accept the first half of the sentence, but couldn't hold back when she heard the latter, she stared at Ye Zhaoyan with wide eyes, "Where did I get so much money!"

Adding up all her savings in this life, even if all the dowry is discounted, it is only five or six thousand taels, and ten thousand taels is even more difficult for her.

Aunt Qiu's face turned ashamed when she heard the words, she was just an aunt, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous in her monthly food and clothing expenses, and the money she finally saved had to subsidize her mother's family quietly.

If the money-hungry Xue family were to take money for the two of them, they would probably have their skins stripped away.

What's more, if this matter gets to the master, it will be a big trouble...
"Why? Madame is reluctant?" Ye Zhaoyan sneered, "If it doesn't work, I'll ask Mr. Qi to send you two to Xue's house to reason. At worst, I will ask the elders of Xue's family to come forward and uphold justice..."

"Don't, don't!" Madam Cui turned blue with fright.

The comfort of these years made her almost forget that the Ye family is not an ordinary high-ranking family. They have made countless achievements in the military for generations. They can be regarded as tough and no one dares to bully them. It's just that after the new emperor ascended the throne, they gradually lost their edge, making people ignore their past. Prestige.

If the Xue family and the Ye family were to tear each other apart, the Xue family would definitely be injured.

"Aunt Qiu, could it be that you are also reluctant? Logically, you should pay [-]%!" Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows and looked at the quail-shaped Aunt Qiu.

"You..." Aunt Qiu's voice seemed to be stuck in a ball of cotton, she opened her mouth, her voice was extremely hoarse and unpleasant.

Although Aunt Qiu is greedy for money, she is not stupid and knows which is more important.

If this incident caused the Xue family to lose money this time, her humble aunt would not have to stand in the Xue family in the future.

Thinking of this, Aunt Qiu's face instantly turned pale, and she looked at Ye Zhaoyan tremblingly, her eyes full of pleading.

Ye Zhaoyan didn't intend to just let it go.

"Since the two of you are unwilling to take money out to make amends, then I have no choice but to send someone to take you to Xue's house!" Ye Zhaoyan's voice was low and gloomy, with a trace of ruthlessness. .

Mrs. Cui's heart skipped a beat.

She couldn't be sent to the Xue family like this, otherwise, all the money saved over the years would be ruined.

If there is no money, how can anyone listen to her, let alone do something.

Thinking of this, she immediately fell to her knees with a thump, begging Ye Zhaoyan repeatedly: "Zhaoyan, miss, your lord has a lot, I was wrong! I know I was wrong! I will never dare again... "..."

How could she still be in the mood to take care of that bitch Xiyun? She just hoped that Ye Zhaoyan wouldn't arrest her and go to Xue's house to collect debts.

Madam Cui kowtowed and begged for mercy, she kept crying, crying miserably.

Aunt Qiu was weeping silently at the side, crying desperately. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with her, and she didn't have much friendship with Mrs. Xue, whom she rarely met.

If she hadn't accepted Mrs. Xue's set of red gold face, thinking of the promised benefits, she would never have taken the risk to enter the muddy water.

Ye Zhaoyan shook off Mrs. Cui impatiently, her eyes were indifferent, "Ma'am, don't make any wrong decisions anymore, I will keep this account in mind, and you will definitely pay it back this time!"

After she finished speaking, she waved her sleeves, and the guards immediately came forward from the door, grabbed Mrs. Cui and Aunt Qiu and dragged them outside.

Looking at the guards who had been outside for a long time, the two realized that they had been fooled.

They really jumped into Ye Zhaoyan's trap, and they were caught!
Aunt Qiu recalled Mr. Qi's words and deeds, and finally woke up the meaning of his words.

The brawny men and maid women they brought were originally for self-defense, but they were separated by Mr. Qi's tricks and calculations. Now these people are probably under strict surveillance, and they can't save them at all.

Thinking of this, she was disheartened, and was dragged away lifelessly, without any struggle.

Madam Cui was frightened out of her wits and struggled to break free.
