Chapter 148
Thinking of this, she put down the bowl and chopsticks and left the table in a hurry.

Seeing this, Ye Fugui also stood up, and asked worriedly: "Zhaoyan, what's urgent?"

Ye Zhaoyan looked back at Ye Fugui, and said with a smile, "It's okay, maybe a friend came to find him."

Ye Fugui saw that her expression was quite calm, so he didn't ask any more questions, but only told her a few words.

Ye Zhaoyan went back to the house and changed into a set of clothes, and then rushed to the gate of Ye Mansion.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Zhuo Tianxin standing proudly beside a snow-white horse from a distance.

The guard beside her was riding a tall horse with a mighty and domineering expression.

At this moment, there were many people surrounded outside the gate of the mansion. Ye Zhaoyan stood outside the crowd and looked at Zhuo Tianxin and his party from a distance, thinking to himself.

How could this arrogant and domineering Miss Zhuo Palace come to her?
Just as he was wondering, he saw Zhuyu running towards him in a panic.

"Miss, that person sent another letter last time!"

Ye Zhaoyan hurriedly took the envelope in her hand and opened it.

It was obviously only a few sentences, but she couldn't put it down after reading it several times.

A faint sense of loss sank into the bottom of my heart along with doubts.

But the gate of Ye Mansion has already opened up.

"Miss Ben came here with King Zhuo's invitation, why didn't the Patriarch of the Ye Mansion come to receive him?!" Zhuo Tianxin was wearing a light pink shirt, made of high-quality materials, which made her dazzling, but her domineering appearance, But extremely disgusting.

"I'm afraid the people in the mansion haven't eaten breakfast at this hour, so please take a rest." Elder Qi stepped forward, cupped his hands and said politely, "The Zhuo Palace and his party have worked hard, please forgive me for being negligent."

"Which onion are you?" Zhuo Tian curled his lips in displeasure, "What this lady wants to see is the master of the Ye family, and it's not your turn to intervene!"

Hearing this, Elder Qi couldn't help but change his expression.

Although he is only a housekeeper, he is considered highly respected in Jindu City, and he has never been ridiculed like this before.

"Miss Zhuo, Patriarch Ye is still having breakfast, so I'm afraid he doesn't have time to greet you. Besides, the old man was ordered to come to greet you, and he didn't make decisions on his own." Qi Lao replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Ordered to meet Miss Ben?" Hearing this, Zhuo Tianxin couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong?" Elder Qi frowned.

"It's just an old bastard trying to reason with Miss Ben!"

While speaking, the guards beside Zhuo Tianxin pushed Old Qi away with a wink.

Seeing that a sharp palm was about to hit Old Qi, Ye Zhaoyan's pupils shrank slightly, and was about to step forward to stop her, but someone stepped ahead of her and blocked Old Qi.

"stop!"

Following an angry reprimand, Ye Zhaoyan looked up, and saw Zhuo Yibai in a moon-white brocade robe arriving at the gate of Ye Mansion at some point.

For some reason, a faint haze shrouded his delicate brows, dispelling the sunshine on his body.

Ye Zhaoyan thought of what was said in the letter again, and couldn't help but feel tight.

Zhuo Yibai looked directly at Zhuo Tianxin, "Tianxin, you are the daughter of King Zhuo, you really shouldn't make such a fuss in front of his house."

He quietly looked at Ye Zhaoyan, who was wearing a light blue embroidered dress in the crowd, and saw her looking at him with a complicated expression, and his heart moved slightly.

She looked at herself like this, did she misunderstand the letter?

Zhuo Yibai's gaze fell on her, and Ye Zhaoyan felt her heart beating violently. She hurriedly looked away to conceal the throbbing in her heart.

Qi Laozheng was wondering why Ye Zhaoyan was so slow to move forward. After seeing this scene, he finally realized something. He had an idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to speculate.

He quietly ordered someone to close the door of the mansion.

Hearing Zhuo Yibai's scolding voice, Ye Tianxin felt a sense of grievance, and his eyes immediately turned red, "Brother Yibai, why did you treat me like this? Could it be that I am in your heart, even a servant can't compare to me?" up?"

After saying that, her tears fell down, her charming and charming appearance was very pitiful.

Seeing this, Zhuo Yibai's expression changed a little.

In the past few years, if it weren't for the sake of the blood of the Zhuo people flowing through her, he might have misinterpreted many details.

"you"

Zhuo Yibai wanted to say something else, but Old Qi beside him said, "This is the young master of Zhuo Wang's mansion, right?"

Zhuo Yibai looked at Old Qi and nodded slightly.

"This old slave is the old housekeeper of the Ye family. Today are the two of you. The Ye mansion should be showing the friendship of the landlord. Unfortunately, my master is busy with business and is not free for the time being. Please stay with me." Qi Lao said earnestly. Persuade.

Zhuo Yibai glanced at Old Qi, then at Zhuo Tianxin who was about to cry, and nodded, "Okay!"

A trace of viciousness flashed across Zhuo Tianxin's eyes.

"You two don't have to worry, there will be opportunities to visit in the future." Seeing this, Mr. Qi continued to comfort him.

"Since that's the case, I don't want to stay for a long time, and I'll visit another day." Zhuo Yibai stretched his brows, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart.

"The old slave still needs to prepare some breakfast for the family, so I won't leave two more."

Old Qi said goodbye to Zhuo Yibai and Zhuo Tianxin politely, then turned and left.

Ye Zhaoyan watched the two go away, and did not come back to his senses until they disappeared at the corner of the street.

"Miss." Old Qi's voice sounded from behind, "Are you worried that Miss Zhuo will come to the Ye Mansion to cause trouble, so you won't let them in?"

"That's not true." Ye Zhaoyan smiled wryly and shook his head, "This is what Master Zhuo meant."

"Oh?" Elder Qi was surprised for a moment, "It seems that this Zhuo Palace is a bit complicated."

"For some reason, I always feel that Zhuo Tianxin is very weird, and seems to be very hostile to Ye Fu." Ye Zhaoyan asked doubtfully.

"Miss, although Miss Zhuo was born in a noble family, she is not a good person." Qi Lao sighed and continued, "It's better to be careful."

"Well, I understand." Ye Zhaoyan nodded.

"However, our Ye Mansion will definitely not allow others to bully us wantonly." Qi Lao continued, "Although the Zhuo Wang Mansion's status is respected, we will never be afraid of them."

After Zhuo Yibai and Zhuo Tianxin left Ye Mansion, Zhuo Tianxin found an excuse and slipped away. Zhuo Yibai was worried that she would come to the door again, so he quietly walked to the northwest corner of Ye Mansion.

The numerous guards from January ago have long since been withdrawn, and the remaining daily patrolling guards have returned to their former cleanliness.

Thinking about everything that happened during this period of time, he subconsciously bypassed the guards, climbed over the wall and entered the yard.

It was here that he took away Ye Zhaoyan who was trapped in Ye Mansion.

He came to the side yard and found that the door was closed but not locked.

There was a sound of broken dishes accompanied by the sound of coughing, and Zhuo Yibai went straight in.

This is a dilapidated and narrow courtyard, which seems to be the residence of servants.

He followed the sound and walked into a room, which was simply furnished without too many decorations, only a table and two chairs, and a pot of tea and several plates of delicate pastries were placed on the table.

In addition, there is only one lamp hanging alone on the window sill.
