step by step

Chapter 26
As soon as these words came out, many eyes turned to Xue Zhiyan.

The allusion in the words is naturally self-evident.

Xue Zhiyan's face turned pale for a moment, her face was burning as if she had been slapped.

She didn't dare to look up, but secretly hated Ye Fugui for being too partial to her daughter, for embarrassing her like this in public, which made her look like a human being inside and out.

The monk listened to Ye Fugui's words, and snorted coldly: "You said it lightly! Your daughter has done such a thing, and there are already witnesses and evidences. How can you allow you to confuse right and wrong with a few words?"

Mrs. Xue slapped the table and yelled at him: "Presumptuous! How can you speak here?! Shut up!"

The monk trembled in fright at Mrs. Xue's scolding, and quickly shut his mouth, not daring to speak again.

Madam Xue then turned her head to look at Xue Zhiyan, frowned and said, "Zhiyan, you should get up first."

Xue Zhiyan glanced gratefully at Mrs. Xue, then stood up, with a look of guilt on her face, and whispered, "Grandmother."

Mrs. Xue sighed slightly, and said: "Zhiyan, you are a good boy. Although you have acted inappropriately this time, you did it to clarify the truth. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. But...if it is discovered that what you have done What you said is false, and I will definitely punish you severely!"

At this time, there was a noise outside the door, and a guard hurried over, saying as he ran, "Madam, there are new clues!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the guard.

The guard panted and ran to Mrs. Xue, bowed and reported: "The guards in the mansion found this in the Yin Temple!"

As he spoke, the guard brought up a broken girdle on a tray.

Mrs. Xue was taken aback for a moment, looked at the tunic suspiciously, and carefully sized it up.

There was no decoration on the plain white belt, and the edge was embroidered with elegant lace.

It looks unremarkable.

Ye Fugui's face changed drastically when he saw this waistband.

She naturally recognized her daughter's clothes.

When she personally sent Ye Zhaoyan out in the morning, she wore such a corset on her plain white dress.

Could it be that something happened to Zhaoyan?Ye Fugui clenched his fingers nervously, and various guesses could not help appearing in his mind.

Mrs. Xue frowned and said: "I found this in the Yin Temple?"

The guard said respectfully: "Go back to the old lady, I found it in the backyard of the Yin Temple."

When Xue Zhiyan heard it, she hurried up to take a look.

This... This is Ye Zhaoyan's corset!
Her eyes were wide open, her face full of shock and disbelief.

In fact, the bottom of my heart is full of joy, I really have nowhere to look for it, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.

Ye Zhaohua stepped forward to examine it carefully for a moment, then suddenly turned the waistband over, and there were a few drops of dried blood on the back.

The bright and dazzling red is shocking.

Ye Fugui's eyes were stung by the color, and he suddenly thought of some terrible possibility.

She shook her head in disbelief, and muttered to herself, "How could this be. How could this be."

There were no tears in his eyes.

Seeing the glaring blood stains, Mrs. Xue's expression became even uglier. She raised her head to look at the guard, and asked sharply, "Whose girdle is this?"

The guard was taken aback by Mrs. Xue's tone, and stammered, "Go back to Mrs. Xue, it's...it's Missy's..."

As soon as the voice fell, the entire hall fell into silence, and everyone was stunned.

"Damn things!"

Mrs. Xue was trembling with anger, raised her finger and cursed at the guard, "Do you know the consequences of perjury! You are the guard of the Ye Mansion, and you even colluded with outsiders to slander your master! Have you eaten the guts of a bear? !"

Mrs. Xue's words can be said to be heartbreaking.

The guard was suddenly frightened and fell to his knees with a plop, shivering.

"Old lady. The servant dare not lie to the old lady."

Seeing such a scene, Xue Zhiyan couldn't help gloating in his heart.

She looked at the guard kneeling on the ground, a trace of ridicule and contempt flashed across her face, but she was sniggering in her heart.

She had already gritted her teeth with hatred for Ye Zhaoyan, but now that she saw this situation, she felt even happier than before.

It's just that her superficial skills have not been forgotten.

"Sister Zhaoyan. Didn't she just meet that man privately for a while? How did she become like this?" Xue Zhiyan asked pretending to be worried.

Mrs. Xue glanced at Xue Zhiyan coldly, and shouted angrily: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!"

Xue Zhiyan's heart skipped a beat, and she hastily explained: "Grandmother, I'm just worried about the safety of Zhaoyan's younger sister."

"Okay!" Mrs. Xue waved her hand impatiently, "You are also responsible for this matter!"

Xue Zhiyan gritted her teeth unwillingly.

Mrs. Xue looked at the guard kneeling on the ground, glared at him with hatred, and scolded: "Is there any other witness for what you said?!"

The guard lowered his head, with cold sweat on his forehead, and said tremblingly, "There are more than a dozen guards who went to the Yin Temple to search, and they all saw this waistband in the backyard with their own eyes..."

"Okay! Very good!" Mrs. Xue was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She glared at the guard and shouted angrily, "Come here! Take all those guards down and deal with them!"

This is just the opposite!
My own slave didn't help his master to cover up his shame, but was still talking about the evidence so convincingly!
Ye Zhaohua couldn't help frowning, he smelled something unusual.

If these guards have no one to let go, how can they directly present such physical evidence?
Seeing this, Xue Zhiyan stepped forward cautiously and said, "Grandmother, these guards are also following orders, if this becomes a big problem, it will be difficult to handle."

On the surface, this remark was for the sake of the overall situation, but it confirmed the fact that Ye Zhaoyan had an affair.

With a sound of "Zheng", Ye Zhaohua suddenly pulled out the sword on the guard.

When everyone looked at the sword in Ye Zhaohua's hand, they couldn't help but gasped, their faces were horrified, and they didn't dare to say more.

With a turn of Ye Zhaohua's wrist, the sharp blade slashed straight at the tray in the guard's hand, with a cold light.

The guards were terrified and begged for mercy on their knees: "Master Ye, please spare me!!"

Ye Zhaohua lightly picked up the tip of the sword, and the girdle in the tray instantly broke in two from the middle.

Holding the long sword in his hand, he sneered and said, "Since you don't know black and white, I'll let you understand!"

He picked up the two girdles, put them in front of him and compared them: "The previous cuts on this girdle are smooth and clean, almost the same as the ones I cut off just now, and they are clearly scratched by such a sword in my hand! Sister Zhaoyan must have been attacked by gangsters and lost her waist during the fight!"

Everyone gasped suddenly.

Ye Fugui even burst into tears, and couldn't help crying while covering his face.

The most unthinkable guess in her mind came true.

Sure enough, Ye Zhaoyan encountered an accident.

She was too lax about her daughter's safety, thinking that no one would dare to offend with Ye Fu's power, but she never thought that someone would take advantage of her loopholes.

If something really happened to her daughter, she would never be able to forgive herself in her life.
