step by step

Chapter 137
She is a person who cherishes her own reputation, she doesn't want to discredit her, and she doesn't want to be stabbed in the back by others...
But that strength couldn't match the strength of the guards, and he was quickly pushed out of the room by the guards.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at the back of the being pulled out, his eyes became colder.

Don't the Xue family like to play tricks?

She just had fun with them.

The rattan woman whose arm had been removed had already passed out from the pain. Ye Zhaoyan walked around her and walked to the square table in the corner.

Tong Laoliu was playing dead against the wall under the table, when he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a gloomy shadow cast on the ground in front of him.

"what!"

"boom!"

Before Tong Laoliu could see the situation in front of him clearly, his whole body was hit by a heavy object, making a muffled sound.

The square table has been torn apart, and two broken pieces of wood are embedded in him.

Three of his ribs were broken, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face was pale.

Ye Zhaoyan kicked away the broken wood on his body, revealing Tong Laoliu covered in blood.

"You... don't kill me... I didn't do anything, the old lady ordered me to do it..." Tong Laoliu shook his head at Ye Zhaoyan, He didn't dare to wipe the bleeding from his mouth, with a look of sincerity and fear.

A look of disgust flashed across Ye Zhaoyan's face.

She never believed in such nonsense. In her heart, these people would do anything to achieve their goals, and they were just like a ravine.

"Madam Xue ordered you?" Ye Zhaoyan sneered, "Don't you have evil intentions?"

Tong Laoliu trembled a little when he heard the words, but he dared not deny it, "The little one was also fooled by the old lady's coercion and profiteering, so he did such a stupid thing!"

Seeing that Ye Zhaoyan's face turned colder, he was sweating anxiously, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly said: "In order to make the young one marry Xiyun with all her strength, the old lady made an exception and let the young one be the housekeeper's apprentice in Xue's house. Said that when she married Xiyun, she would let Xiyun be the maid of the inner court."

"The butler's apprentice? The maid in the inner courtyard?"

Ye Zhaoyan frowned slightly, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.

Mrs. Xue would actually give such a lowly servant like Tong Lao Liu a position in charge?Do you still think so highly of Xiyun?
This was a bit beyond her expectation.

Do they really want to treat Xiyun well?
impossible······

In the eyes of the Xue family, only power and interests

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Xue did make such a promise to Xiao..." Tong Laoliu hurriedly nodded and agreed, "The old lady said that Xiyun and his wife are like sisters, if Xiyun marries For her sake, Madam will take care of her a lot. If Xiyun intercedes, Madam will definitely help the Xue family. Besides, this is also a kind of marriage between the two families."

Tong Laoliu eloquently explained.

Hearing this, Ye Zhaoyan finally understood.

It turned out that Mrs. Xue had such a plan to let Xiyun become a bargaining chip in the Xue family's hands to fight for their interests.

This old temptress really has bad intentions, but this move is a good one.

"Miss, please forgive me..." Seeing that Ye Zhaoyan remained silent, Tong Laoliu hurriedly begged for mercy.

"How can I let you go?" Ye Zhaoyan sneered, "If it wasn't because killing you is too cheap, do you think I would let you live?"

Tong Laoliu's face froze, and the look of fear on his face became more intense.

"Miss... I really didn't do anything, I just followed orders, please forgive me!"

Ye Zhaoyan drew his sword out of its sheath, a cold light flashed, and he pointed at Tong Laoliu fiercely, "You touched Xiyun with these dirty hands that day?!"

After finishing speaking, she raised her hand and stabbed Tong Laoliu's wrist, flicking the tip of the sword a few times, breaking all the tendons in his hands.

In an instant, the flesh burst open, and blood dripped on his hands.

"what!"

A sharp pain hit, Tong Laoliu couldn't help screaming, his hands were stiff and rolling, looking like he was being chopped alive.

Ye Zhaoyan's gaze was as cold as a blade, "I tell you, if you still dare to mention Xiyun to others, I don't mind cutting your tongue!"

Tong Laoliu fell silent in fright, his screams turned into hoarse whimpers and gasps, his face was full of horror.

Ye Zhaoyan retracted the long sword into its sheath, "Put them in prison!"

"Yes!"

The guards immediately agreed and took Tong Lao Liu and Mrs. Teng away.

The next day, Mr. Qi took Mrs. Cui and Aunt Qiu, who had been imprisoned overnight, to Xue's house.

The two were imprisoned overnight, their wounds had turned purple, and they described themselves as being in a state of embarrassment. In addition, there was no drip of water, and they looked weak.

The Xue family found that the two of them hadn't returned all night, and the servants who went with them were nowhere to be seen.

Now the servants of the Xue family in Ye Mansion are either severely punished or driven back to the Xue family. Even if the remaining people have the intention of tipping off the news, they are powerless under the control of Ye Mansion's falling power.

Because of this, no one in the Xue family knows what happened to the two female relatives until now.

When Mr. Qi arrived near Xue's mansion, he asked someone to take care of the two of them in the carriage for a while, and brought a few servants to the gate of the mansion.

Before reaching the door of Xue's house, he saw many servants looking around at the door.

When Liu Guanshi saw that it was Mr. Qi, his face was shocked, and he greeted him in surprise and joy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two female family members of the Xue family went out, they would be able to invite Mr. Qi from the Ye Mansion.

Mr. Qi asked him to invite the elders of Xue's family out, and Liu Guanshi agreed without thinking about it.

When he asked about the whereabouts of the two masters, Mr. Qi just smiled and said nothing, which made him a little puzzled.

When the two elders arrived, Elder Qi asked Mrs. Cui and Aunt Qiu to be invited in front of everyone.

"This, who is this?"

"How did you make it look like this?"

Seeing Mrs. Cui's miserable appearance, the two elders couldn't help gasping, and their eyes widened in surprise.

The servants of the Xue family who were waiting on the side were also full of disbelief.

They never imagined that Madam Cui, who was usually dignified and noble, would turn into such an appearance.

Mrs. Cui was imprisoned for one night, and she was already emaciated, her clothes were disheveled, her hair was disheveled, her bare skin was still covered with dust and stains, and there was even a faint smell on her body.

The two elders are both very experienced, so they can naturally see Madam Cui's embarrassment at this time, and they are a little worried for a while.

"Who hurt them?"

"Madam went to Ye Mansion yesterday, I'm afraid this injury is here." Liu Guanshi replied in a low voice, the meaning in his words was very clear.

"Nonsense!" One of the elders was furious when he heard this, "They are all the masters of the Xue family, how can they be abused like this?!"

Originally, Mrs. Xue was severely punished and kicked out, which already made them feel resentful. If they didn't think that the benefits of the Ye family hadn't been brought back, they would have already torn their skins. The Ye family is really pushing their noses and faces more and more!
