step by step

Chapter 152
Ye Fu.Ye Zhaoyan stood in front of the mansion, watching the pouring rain, his eyes grew cold.

"This rain is coming hard."

"Miss, do you hate rain? Maybe it will stop after a while." Zhuyu opened an umbrella to cover her from the raindrops.

Before she could finish speaking, a flash of lightning pierced the night sky, followed by a loud "bang" that was deafening.

The thunder was rolling, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.

"The sky is not beautiful, which makes the rain even stronger." Ye Zhaoyan said lightly, and glanced into the distance, only to see a guard rushing in on a horse.

The guard jumped off his horse, walked quickly to Ye Zhaoyan, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Qi, Master Xue has already passed Fengxi Market."

Ye Zhaoyan nodded, "Report this matter to Commander Ye." After speaking, he went to Ye Fugui's yard.

Ye Fugui was waking up from a nap, looking sleepy, Ye Zhaoyan saw this, and gently combed her temples.

"Zhaoyan, why are you here?" Ye Fugui rubbed his eyes, sat up straight, and asked with a smile.

Ye Zhaoyan handed her the mirror in front of the dressing table, "I invited my uncle to come to Ye's mansion, this meeting should be on the way here."

Ye Fugui was stunned, and said with a look of surprise: "It's raining heavily today, why did Zhengping come here? Could it be he's back?!"

"Yeah." Ye Zhaoyan nodded lightly, "he's here."

The return date of the officers and soldiers going south is not two days, Xue Huaidan thought that if he came back without anyone noticing, he would catch the Ye family by surprise.

As everyone knows, Ye Fu received Wei Linfeng's letter a few days ago and was already prepared.

Ye Fugui's expression became serious, she looked at the pouring rain outside the window, her brows were full of worry.

Xue Huaidan's personality has always been gentle and refined, but in recent months, he has shown a violent and ruthless side. If he calculates the score of the year, he will make some extreme actions.
When Ye Fugui was thinking wildly, Zhuyu rushed in from outside the yard and said anxiously: "Miss, the master has brought someone back!"

As soon as Ye Zhaoyan and others walked to the main hall, they saw a thin dark green figure coming through the rain curtain with a few cronies.

That person is none other than Xue Huaidan.

His haggard face was full of stubble, his clothes were soaked, and the rainwater from his head kept dripping to the ground, splashing flowers on the bluestone road.

Ye Zhaoyan's pupils shrank slightly, and the hatred in his eyes quietly revived.

It was such a rainy night in the previous life, the Ye Mansion changed overnight, blood was mixed with rainwater and flowed endlessly.

This heavy hatred has gone through two reincarnations and accumulated in her heart, making her heart restless for a long time.

In this life, she absolutely cannot let Xue Huaidan succeed again.

Xue Huaitan walked quickly to the door of the living room, looked at the people in the living room, with a look of eagerness on his brows, "Fugui, Zhaoyan, I'm back!"

His voice was hoarse and dry, and he had obviously experienced a lot of ups and downs. His body looked a little weak, and he didn't return to the high spirits he had when he set off.

Looking around, the furnishings in the main hall of the Ye Mansion have changed, and they look a little strange. The usual gold inlaid jade ornaments have long since disappeared.

Xue Huaitan remembered that it was a rare item that Mrs. Xue loved the most.

Mother was really driven away without leaving any traces.

Xue Huaitan was slightly taken aback, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and strode into the hall.

Mr. Qi took a few loyal servant girls to wait around Ye's mother and daughter, and did not show Xue Huaitan a seat.

Usually, these courteous things are done by Butler Xue.

Now that he is gone, no one is saddled.

Xue Huaitan walked to the nearest chair, sat down quietly, and looked at Ye's mother and daughter.

Ye Zhaoyan was not afraid, and his delicate face was calm.

Ye Fugui's eyes were filled with fear, "You're back."

"Fugui, long time no see!"

He already knew about the turmoil that happened in Jindu on the way, but he didn't know what the inside story was.

Seeing the cold attitudes of Ye Zhaoyan and Ye Fugui, Xue Huaidan guessed that there must be something hidden in it, "Fugui, do you and your mother have any misunderstandings?"

Half a month after Mrs. Xue was sent out of Ye Mansion, he received a message from Xue's family.

The Xue family bitterly complained that the Ye family treated the Xue family harshly, and even drove the Xue family out of Ye Mansion, but did not mention the reason why they came to this point.

If it weren't for the many people in the accompanying team, and he often accompanied the governor to observe the people's situation, he might have already figured out the inside story.

Now that he has arrived in Jindu, the Xue family has not sent any news for a long time, which makes him less confident.

Xue Huaitan reckoned that Ye Zhengping was responsible for all this, and with the scheming and abilities of Ye's mother and daughter, it would not be so decisive.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In this way, there is still room for redemption.

The present predicament can be easily solved as long as Ye Fugui is coaxed well.

"There is no misunderstanding, you are in such a hurry to return to Jindu in advance to seek justice for your mother?" Ye Fugui said coldly.

"Fugui." Xue Huaitan looked at Ye Fugui, a little shocked by the alienation in her words, "She is also your mother!"

Ye Fugui turned his face away, "I don't have such a mother-in-law."

"Fugui!" Xue Huaidan was horrified when he heard the resentment in Ye Fugui's words, "If Mother offends you, it's just a momentary impulse, so don't take it to heart!"

"Don't take it to heart?!" Ye Zhaoyan walked forward with a sneer, "Do you know what she did to my mother?!"

"Zhaoyan, what are you talking about!" Xue Huaitan couldn't help blurting out with anxiety in his heart.

His eyes were filled with deep puzzlement, "It's good that mother has been helping her, but she's just a bit willful and confused every now and then, why would she do something excessive to her?"

"What if she finds a foreigner to humiliate my mother!" Ye Zhaoyan said angrily.

Xue Huaidan's voice stopped abruptly, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

"The Xue family instigated the Xue family's slaves to humiliate Mrs. Ye's family. He committed a heinous crime and has confessed in the Ye family's ancestral hall!" Ye Zhaoyan yelled angrily, "How can our Ye family swallow our anger?!"

When Ye Zhaoyan said this, the address was already extremely cold, "If your Xue family is not willing to treat my mother kindly, even if you make a clean break, why bother to abuse her and slander her like this?!"

After hearing these words, Xue Huaidan was completely taken aback, with an unbelievable look on his face, "Mother, how could that be? Fugui, did you make a mistake?"

When Ye Fugui saw that he was still favoring Mrs. Xue after all this happened, the lingering warmth in his heart disappeared without a trace, "If you don't believe me, why bother to ask again?"

"Wrong?!" Ye Zhaoyan sneered again and again, "Everyone in the Ye Mansion saw it with their own eyes, how could they be wrong?!"

"Impossible!" Xue Huaidan did not want to believe such a result.

"It's fine if you don't want to believe it, the matter has been settled, and there is no room for turning around." Ye Fugui's voice was very soft, but very firm.

Xue Huaitan's figure trembled slightly, and his face was as white as paper in an instant.
