Chapter 139 The Uninvited Guest

Xue Buzhong watched the two talking to each other without caring about Xue Fu's face at all. He couldn't help feeling annoyed in his heart, and couldn't help scolding: "Shut up! Look at the two of you like this, how decent it is! It's too embarrassing. Isn't it enough to lose?!"

Xue Buzhong's roar immediately silenced the two of them, they were so frightened that they trembled all over, and dared not speak any more.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at Elder Qi, "Since the Ye family asked so, there is no reason why our Xue family should not do so. It's just that the [-] taels of silver must be approved by the head of the family. Let the accountant pay for it today Ask Mr. Qi to take the thousand taels back to scare Xi Yun, and in two days, the steward of the Xue family will take the remaining nine thousand taels and personally send them home to make an apology, how about that?"

Hearing this, Elder Qi nodded in satisfaction, "Since the Xue family is so sincere, it's hard for me to refuse. I hope that the Xue family can prepare a compensation of [-] taels by then!"

Seeing this result, Xue Buzhong felt a little more at ease, turned around and told a steward beside him, "Immediately ask the accountant to pay a thousand taels of silver and send it to Yefu!"

The Ye family's close brothers settled accounts clearly, which made him have another plan in his mind.

Since they don't want to settle down and make peace with others, the Xue family no longer has to worry about face and friendship, and treat them in the same way as others!
After Mr. Qi came back, Ye Zhaoyan looked at the one thousand taels he had brought back, felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and walked to Xiyun courtyard.

There was no sound in the yard, the door was closed tightly, and it looked lifeless.

Ye Zhaoyan saw Lian Luo who was resting under the eaves with his eyes closed.

Even the slight sound of footsteps failed to wake him up, apparently falling asleep from exhaustion.

Ye Zhaoyan sighed softly, and walked towards the side room.

"Miss." Xing'er and Tao'er, who were in charge of taking care of Xiyun's daily life, saw Ye Zhaoyan coming, and hurriedly saluted.

"How is Xiyun recently?"

"Reporting to Miss, Sister Xiyun has improved a lot these past two days compared to the previous period. I just ate a few cakes in the morning." Xing'er replied honestly.

"I've worked hard for you these few days. I'll send two more people to take turns with you. Be sure to keep an eye on Xiyun, and don't let her do stupid things." She looked at the figure not far away under the eaves, and said worriedly: " Lian Luo is a man, you must be careful, and don't let Xi Yun be frightened by men again."

"Yes." Tao'er glanced at the direction outside the house, and asked hesitantly: "Miss, it is thanks to Mr. Lianluo that sister Xiyun can recover. Sister Yun sneaked out, we probably lost her several times."

In addition, she is also curious why Xiyun is willing to eat. In the past, once Xiyun was restrained to prevent her from running around for half a day, she would not eat or drink. In the past two days, she made an exception and used some food.

"Yeah." Ye Zhaoyan nodded, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

A few days later, the members of the Xue family did not come to the door to apologize as promised, so Mr. Qi sent someone to the Xue residence to urge him, and only then did he find out that there was something wrong with the accounts of the Xue family, and they couldn't get it out for the time being. With so much money coming, Xue Buzhong and others are trying to find a way to raise money.

Mr. Qi knew in his heart that Xue Buzhong and the Xue family were really like rats, with a good face, they would just run away when they encountered trouble, and they didn't take any responsibility at all.

Ye Zhaoyan is not in a hurry, if this matter is put on hold for a day, the Xue family will be wronged for a day, not to mention talking about friendship, which will help the Ye family get justice with interest.

She will pay back the debts they owe to the Ye family one by one.

"Miss, let's heal this wound for a few more days before going out!" Zhuyu advised Ye Zhaoyan distressedly while removing the gauze.

The wound had healed a lot, but Ye Zhaoyan still had a thin layer of scab on his arm, which looked very hideous.

"It's okay." Ye Zhaoyan smiled and looked at her, "I don't feel any pain anymore, if you don't believe me, touch it."

Zhuyu knew she couldn't be persuaded, so she had no choice but to apply the ointment for her.

Ye Zhaoyan opened the brocade box that had been on the table for a long time.

In the brocade box, the green and transparent jade pendant lay quietly on the brocade, exuding a soft and moist luster, looking very beautiful.

"What is this?" Zhuyu leaned over curiously.

I saw a complicated and gorgeous flower pattern carved on the jade pendant, which was very eye-catching.

"Biluoyu." Ye Zhaoyan held the jade pendant in his hand and looked out the window, "The season when the blue flowers bloom must be beautiful."

"Bi Luohua?" Zhuyu was stunned for a moment, then repeated with some doubts, "Miss, what is Bi Luohua?"

"A very special flower called Bi Luo is a rare exotic flower in the world. It grows in extremely cold places. Because it is covered by ice and snow all the year round, the stamens that bloom are lavender and emit a light fragrance. Its The juice can cure diseases and disinfect, and is very effective for wounds.”

Ye Zhaoyan explained patiently.

"Biluo? What a beautiful name!" Zhuyu exclaimed.

She has stayed in Yefu for many years, and she has never heard of this kind of flower. Presumably this kind of flower is also a rare species in the bustling Jindu!

Ye Zhaoyan glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, remembering the serious eyes of the young man in red, a warm feeling flashed in his heart, "It's time to return it to its original owner."

After Mrs. Xue sent her off, she took people to visit the Zhuo Palace secretly.

Although he was not allowed inside to see him, he could confirm that the young man in the mansion had turned the corner.

Now that the internal troubles in the Ye Mansion have subsided for the time being, she has the time to think about this matter.

This thing is too precious, it is always wrong to put it in her hands.

She put Biluoyu into her arms, turned around and walked out.

Before he went out, he heard a commotion.

Ye Zhaoyan followed the sound, and saw crowds of people in front of Ye Mansion's gate, and a somewhat familiar carriage parked there.

She raised her eyebrows and stopped, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, go and have a look quickly, the Xue family has brought people to the door to argue." The guard guarding the gate of the mansion shouted anxiously.

I saw Steward Liu of the Xue family standing at the door with many followers, stalemate with the guards guarding the gate of Ye Mansion.

It turned out that people from the Xue family came to make amends.

Steward Liu of the Xue family saw Ye Zhaoyan's figure, his face was overjoyed, he waved his hand to silence the servants, and rushed towards her impatiently.

The expression was as if the wolf saw the meat.

Mr. Qi hurried over from behind, stood in front of Ye Zhaoyan calmly, smiled modestly, "It turns out that Xue's family is in charge, but this time I have prepared enough money?"

Guanshi Liu was annoyed when he heard that Mr. Qi had advanced the money. He wished he could smash the gate of Xue's mansion, but he had to put on a hypocritical face and said with a smile: "I came here this time to solve this matter. .”

Old Qi nodded, but didn't talk to him, he felt strange when he came, if the Xue family wanted to lose money, why bother shouting in front of this house?

I am afraid this matter is not simple.

Just when Ye Zhaoyan was also wondering what the Xue family's intention was, a well-dressed woman walked out of the carriage.

　The second half of tomorrow's update will involve Zhuo Wangfu, the preview is over.
