Chapter 27 The Evidence of Pity Frost
Mrs. Xue's guard was shocked when she heard Ye Zhaohua's words.

He hastily kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Master Ye, we are absolutely not lying! We just picked up the girdle, and we don't know anything else!"

Ye Zhaohua sneered, and said, "Since you are not lying, come with me to the Yin Temple to confront the person who witnessed it on the spot!"

Although Ye Zhaoyan didn't get along with him much, he watched him grow up.He is naturally very clear about her character.

What's more, this younger sister is quite talented in martial arts. Although she is young, she should not be underestimated. It is not something that ordinary men can do.

He would rather believe that she was kidnapped than agree with the slanderous words of the people in front of him.

Xue Zhiyan heard the words, and quickly spoke to dissuade him: "Brother Zhaohua, why do you bother? We"

"Shut up!" Ye Zhaohua shouted angrily.

Xue Zhiyan was so frightened that she trembled all over, and she didn't dare to say more.

She stole a glance at Mrs. Xue, and found that Mrs. Xue had a gloomy look on her face, and she seemed to have no intention of objecting.

Her heart skipped a beat.

If they went to search and found some clues...

After she had an accident in the house that day, although she was well concealed, it was hard to ensure that no one heard her cry for help, and then found that Ye Zhaoyan was not in the house...

Mrs. Xue looked at the guard on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "In that case, you should go with Zhaohua and find out the truth!"

Xue Zhiyan's pupils shrank suddenly, and her face turned pale.

If Ye Zhaohua also goes together, in case he really sees something.
Xue Zhiyan looked eagerly at Mrs. Xue, and pleaded: "Grandmother, sister Zhaoyan is definitely not willing to publicize this matter, and you insist on pursuing it. If sister Zhaoyan finds out, she might feel even more uncomfortable!"

"Shut up!" Ye Zhaohua snapped, "Xue Zhiyan, you don't need to intervene in the things that grandma has already decided!"

After finishing speaking, he went straight out regardless of Mrs. Xue's reaction.

Xue Zhiyan bit her lip, her face extremely embarrassed.

Ye Zhaohua actually reprimanded her so fiercely because of that bitch!

Seeing Ye Zhaohua's leaving back, she was full of resentment, gritted her teeth and shouted: "Wait!"

Ye Zhaohua paused slightly, then turned his head and glanced at her coldly.

Xue Zhiyan's heart tightened, and she took a deep breath before suppressing the fear in her heart, and said slowly: "The maid Lian Shuang who is next to Sister Zhaoyan also saw it that day."

If it was not a last resort, she would not have used Lian Shuang's mouth to frame this matter on Ye Zhaoyan.

After all, Lian Shuang was the one who broke into the house and witnessed the truth that day.

More importantly, Lian Shuang belongs to her uncle, not her confidant.

This move is somewhat risky.

But right now, she couldn't think of any other better way.

Hearing Xue Zhiyan mentioning Lian Shuang, Ye Zhaohua frowned slightly.

"Her?" Ye Zhaohua snorted softly, and said, "She's just a little maid, how can she know so much? How do you know if she knows the truth? If she really knows the truth, how should she explain it?"

There was a strong killing intent in Ye Zhaohua's eyes.

Xue Zhiyan couldn't help feeling a chill in her heart, but she still insisted: "Sister Zhaoyan's personal maid, Lian Shuang, said and acted against her master. If her own maid's confession is not credible, what outsiders say is even worse. Needless to say."

"When Lian Shuang heard Zhaoyan's sister's screams that day, she was the first to rush into the house. She must have witnessed the whole truth." Xue Zhiyan nodded as if remembering, but what she recalled in her mind was her own experience that day.

At this moment, Lian Shuang had been brought to the middle of the main hall by the guards.

When she heard Xue Zhiyan's description, her face turned pale instantly, and she felt as if a layer of fine sweat had sprouted from her spine, her heart was pounding wildly, and a layer of cold sweat soaked her palms.

Xue Zhiyan's hint couldn't be more obvious.

She thought of what Master Xue had told her, and felt uneasy and flustered.

She can't confess the truth, otherwise she will die, so she has no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

"Lian Shuang! What Zhi Yan said is the truth?" Seeing Lian Shuang's timid look, Mrs. Xue said impatiently

"Reporting to the old lady, this servant did indeed see Miss Zhaoyan coming out of the house." Lian Shuang said in a trembling voice.

Xue Zhiyan sneered secretly when she heard the words, and the worries in her heart gradually dissipated.

Lian Shuang, you will eventually betray Ye Zhaoyan.

"In that case, let's recall carefully, what did you see when you entered the house that day?"

Lian Shuang lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her head and said: "At that time, Miss Zhaoyan's clothes were disheveled, she seemed very sad, and she cried for a long time."

Mrs. Xue frowned slightly when she heard what Lian Shuang said, "You mean that Zhaoyan cried when he was bullied in the room?"

"Yes." Lian Shuang answered with a trembling voice, with beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.

Mrs. Xue was silent for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "Okay, you go down first."

When Lian Shuang heard Mrs. Xue's order, she hurriedly knelt down to thank Mrs. Xue and stepped back as if she had been pardoned.

Mrs. Xue glanced at everyone, and said with a deep expression: "I have a sense of proportion for today's matter."

She turned her head to look at everyone present, with a strong threatening tone in her tone, "I hope you all rot in your stomachs about what happened today, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

She had calmed down her anger and had a plan in mind.

Since the matter could no longer be concealed, Ye Zhaoyan could only be "hidden".

The famous families in Jindu place a high value on face. If any of the ladies in the family commits "such" wrong things, they will be quietly sent to other places to "ward off evil spirits" under the pretext of illness, and then quietly disappear.

People are naturally alive, but they can no longer see people openly.

Madam Xue's sudden change of tone made Ye Fugui's heart sink.

I'm afraid Mrs. Xue believed the words of those three people.

Her face became paler, and she ignored the tears that were falling, and hurriedly said: "Mother, what is your attitude? Do you believe that Zhaoyan really did such a thing?"

"Who do you think I should trust?"

Ye Fugui's lips turned white slightly, and he said incredulously, "She is your own granddaughter."

Mrs. Xue snorted coldly, "You don't have to clear up her grievances, I just trust my eyes. If she is innocent, why does she have to hide and hide until now? If she is innocent, why is she being held close to her?" Witnessing a private meeting with a man, the maid left behind a cloak, making everyone think she is a shameless woman?"

Mrs. Xue's words completely angered Ye Fugui.

"Are you doubting the character of our Ye family?" Ye Fugui asked angrily.

"I just doubt the truth of the matter. If Ye Zhaoyan does such a shameless thing, as the mistress of the Ye Mansion, I will naturally handle it fairly and not allow anyone to cover her up!" Mrs. Xue said loudly.
