step by step

Chapter 147 each with a purpose
Zhuo Yibai did not speak.

He knew that with the importance attached to this jade pendant by the Zhuo Palace, once this matter was known, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.

With Ye Zhaoyan's character, she probably wouldn't want to be involved.

"Of course I don't doubt your ability, it's just that this jade pendant has not been stolen." Zhuo Yibai said slowly after pondering for a while.

"What?" Zhuo Tianxin's eyes widened, "Could it be that you handed it over?!"

This jade pendant is an extraordinary token, how could it be easily handed over to others?

Could it be that someone confused Zhuo Yibai and made him lose his mind and hand it over? !
Once this idea popped up, it grew wildly like a weed and quickly spread to her heart.

"How can you hand over such an important thing to others casually?!" Zhuo Tianxin's excited voice became sharp.

"I didn't do it on a whim." Zhuo Yibai said with a serious face.

"What did you say?!" Zhuo Tianxin looked at him in astonishment upon hearing the words, "Who is that woman?"

Her expression was too surprised, as if she was hearing something incredible.

"She..." Zhuo Yibai hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head, "This is a private matter between me and her."

There was a bit of bitterness in his heart, the current situation was too complicated, and she shouldn't be involved right now.

"Private matter?!" Zhuo Tianxin gritted her teeth angrily when she heard the words, she couldn't figure out why Zhuo Yibai wanted to protect that strange woman.

What kind of ecstasy potion did that woman pour into him to make him protect her like this regardless of his dignity and his parents' orders?
"You can't even say her name, which shows how unworthy she is. It's impossible for her to be a lady from a decent family! Yibai, why do you want to protect such a dubious woman!"

Her fingers were tightly pinching the hem of her clothes, and the anger in her heart was about to burn her whole body.

"Enough! Don't make random guesses." Zhuo Yibai said coldly, with a strange feeling in his heart.

"Guessing randomly?!" Zhuo Tianxin's eyes were red, "I'm your sister!"

"Since you are a younger sister, you shouldn't try to figure out what your brother wants."

His tone was filled with a touch of anger, which made Zhuo Tianxin, who wanted to continue spitting, suddenly silenced.

"Tianxin, you have always been obedient and obedient, why are you so paranoid about my private affairs? Next time if you are still so unscrupulous, don't blame your brother for getting angry with you." After finishing speaking, Zhuo Yibai left the yard straight away. Only Zhuo Tianxin, who was full of doubts, was left behind.

Seeing that Zhuo Yibai got angry, Zhuo Tianxin was even more embarrassed.

Rarely had he been so ruthless with her.

It seems that the woman who took the jade pendant this time really has a lot to do with Zhuo Yibai.

She was confused, thought for a long time, and decided to go to Zhuo Wang.

At night, the study room of King Zhuo's Mansion was brightly lit, and a middle-aged man was buried in the documents.

He was dressed in a purple robe with a gold belt around his waist. He was of medium stature and had a good appearance. There was a trace of majesty between his brows, which made one feel the urge to worship him.

This person is Zhuo Wang Zhuo Shicheng.

Seeing Zhuo Tianxin coming in, Zhuo Shicheng put down the pen in his hand and waved to her.

"Daddy!" Zhuo Tianxin walked to his side and called him respectfully.

"Tianxin, why are you free today?"

Zhuo Shicheng looked up at her and smiled gently.

His proud daughter has always been courteous when she asks for something, and there must be a reason for coming here at night.

"Daddy, my daughter encountered a troublesome matter today, and I don't know how to solve it."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Zhuo Tianxin hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to tell Zhuo Shicheng what happened in the mansion today.

"Daddy, do you think Brother Yibai is confused? He actually gave such a precious jade pendant to a woman of unknown origin."

"Oh?" Zhuo Shicheng raised his eyebrows, "Yibai has his own considerations for doing this. Tianxin, you have to trust Yibai, he is not a dull person."

He couldn't help thinking of what Helianbi said when he came to him during the day.

What happened to this big and small?
Maybe that was really on the agenda.

"Of course my daughter believes him." Zhuo Tianxin nodded, with a look of anxiety on his face, "Father, do you also think that brother Yibai did this because he liked that woman too much?"

It stands to reason that if these things of love were not settled, they would never be handed over easily, even if they are temporarily kept.

She always felt that Zhuo Yibai's protection of that woman was a little too much.

"Tianxin, let's not mention this matter for the time being." Zhuo Shicheng pondered for a moment, then said: "If you want to know the details of that woman, I can help you."

"Really?" Zhuo Tianxin's eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at her father expectantly.

Zhuo Shicheng nodded.

Ye Mansion, when the sky was about to dawn, there was still a light on in Ye Zhaoyan's room, and a shadow was cast on the window lattice.

Ye Zhaoyan was leaning on the couch, dressed in a simple and elegant green shirt, his long hair was simply pulled up in a bun, revealing a smooth and full forehead, and his eyes were slightly closed under the long eyelashes.

She didn't fall asleep, she was just thinking about the choice before Ye Fu.

She knew in her heart that the coveting of the Ye family's power by the Xue family's forces was just a small obstacle, and the interests of the Xue family behind it were the real mountain to face.

Just as he was thinking about it, a soft voice suddenly sounded outside the window.

Ye Zhaoyan opened his eyes, glanced outside the door, then got up and put on a cloak and walked outside, only to see Zhuyu coming from outside.

Seeing the person coming, Ye Zhaoyan was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Are you still resting at this time?"

"Miss." Zhuyu looked a little nervous.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zhaoyan asked.

Zhuyu glanced around, lowered her voice and said: "Miss, someone wants to send a letter in, but this servant dare not let it go without authorization, so I have to report to you."

"Where is the letter?" Ye Zhaoyan asked.

Zhuyu hurriedly took out the letter in his sleeve and handed it over, "Miss, look."

"Yes." Ye Zhaoyan opened the envelope and flattened the letter inside.

There are only two lines written on it.

"The Biluoyu has been returned to its original owner, don't read it. Choose a day to worship and meet together." The three words "Zhuo Yibai" are impressively engraved on the signature.

Ye Zhaoyan put the letter away after reading it.

"Miss, that letter is." Zhuyu asked curiously, "Who is that person?"

Ye Zhaoyan didn't answer, just smiled and said: "You will know after a while."

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Zhaoyan was having dinner with Ye Fugui when he suddenly received a call from Zhuo Shicheng.

"Miss, people from the Zhuo Palace are here to visit!" Old Qi walked in a hurry.

"Zhuo Wangfu?" Ye Zhaoyan was stunned for a moment, could it be Zhuo Yibai?

She thought it would take some time for him to come, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
