step by step

Chapter 338
Ye Zhaoyan lingered under the big tree for a while, occasionally a dark cloud drifted across the blue sky, and soon, it started to rain lightly.

There is a canopy not far outside the school grounds, and it is still too late to walk over it now.

Looking back, amidst the rain and mist, the two sitting opposite each other in the pavilion not far away had a happy conversation.She was still thinking about Cheng Yuyan, hesitated for a moment, and walked back under the tree to avoid the rain.

The light rain gradually formed a layer of fluffy rain and mist on top of her head, which looked a bit cold, making her doze off unknowingly.

After an unknown amount of time, a call came from afar, "Miss! Something happened!"

It was Yinger's voice.

"what's up?"

Ying'er was sweating profusely, and looked very anxious: "Changfu, they are not in the mansion"

Such a sentence made Ye Zhaoyan suddenly have a bad feeling in his heart.

"Speak slowly."

Ying'er wiped the snow and rain off her face, "Master Zhuo is missing!"

Ye Zhaoyan stood up straight, "Wei Yu isn't in the mansion either?"

Ying'er nodded quickly, and continued, "I went to deliver an umbrella to Mr. Zhuo, but I didn't see him, let alone come back. After asking the guards in the mansion, I found out that he and Wei Yu left with a girl."

"Girl?" Ye Zhaoyan frowned. .

Ying'er nodded, "I heard from him that she is a young girl, dressed in fancy clothes, but came alone, with a curtain on her face, making it difficult to see her appearance clearly."

A flash of light flashed in Ye Zhaoyan's mind, "So, they followed that man voluntarily?"

Ying'er shook her head, and replied hesitantly: "It's not like the guards said that Mr. Zhuo and that girl have a very good relationship."

"Is that so—" Ye Zhaoyan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Could it be that this person came to rescue Zhuo Yibai?
But in an instant, she threw this ridiculous guess out of her head.

"They left a message when they left, saying they would come back again, but we don't know how long it will be."

"Since that's the case, I'll find someone to keep an eye on the inside and outside of the Chang Mansion in the past few days."

"Yes."

Ying'er took an umbrella for Ye Zhaoyan, and left in a hurry. The rain became more and more hazy, covering the school grounds with overgrown trees.

Not long after, Cheng Yuyan came out of the pavilion, her eyebrows and eyes were stretched, like the sky where the dark clouds were blown away, but the corners of her brows and eyes were a little more determined, as if she had made up her mind.

Chen Jingqiu took a few steps behind her, and bid farewell to Ye Zhaoyan in the distance.

Looks like a very humble gentleman.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan's solemn expression, Cheng Yuyan grabbed Ye Zhaoyan's wrist worriedly, "Zhaoyan, what's wrong with you? You look a little pale."

"It's okay." Ye Zhaoyan sighed softly and waved his hands, "Let's go back to Ye Mansion first."

Cheng Yuyan nodded slightly, and before she walked out of the school grounds, she couldn't help but look back, seeing the man disappear into the depths of the woods, she couldn't help but feel a bit of melancholy in her heart.

This feeling is really strange.
***
When they returned to Ye Mansion, it was already half dark.

Ye Zhaoyan sat under the window and read books, Cheng Yuyan sat beside her and talked to her carefully, with a cup of steaming fragrant tea in her hand, and the fragrance of tea permeated the room.

"So, Mrs. Yan misunderstood him?" Ye Zhaoyan closed the scroll and considered his words.

As she thought, the Yan family really has her own little Jiujiu.In Cheng Yuyan's description, Yan secretly persuaded Cheng Yuyan to change her mind on the grounds that Chen Jingqiu was eccentric and withdrawn, but she admired the eldest son of Wei Yanhou's family.

The meaning of this has to be intriguing.
Cheng Yuyan pondered for a while, then hesitated and said: "My aunt has always been smart and capable, and she rarely misjudged people. Maybe she was deceived."

Ye Zhaoyan frowned, "It's not impossible. However, the Chen family's impression of you is that." She paused, and added, "It's not like such an evaluation was born for nothing."

When this matter was mentioned, Cheng Yuyan said bitterly, "I don't know who released the news, I'm afraid the world will not be chaotic."

Ye Zhaoyan was noncommittal.Today, through Chen Jingqiu's mouth, Cheng Yuyan found out that there had been a secret rumor circulating among the core members of the Chen family's inner courtyard. Cheng Yuyan married in the past to take advantage of Zhennan Wang's arrogance. After all, the Duke's Mansion has no man Ding, the fame and fame of starting a family will fade away one day along with being brave and good at fighting.

That's why the Chen family stayed calm and waited. Recently, there were rumors that the two families were dissatisfied with each other, and Yan's behavior of not stopping the rumors was seen by others, which created a bigger rift.

Ye Zhaoyan tapped on the table and said slowly, "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Cheng Yuyan lowered her eyes, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

"Then hold back for now." Ye Zhaoyan put the scroll on the table, "Even close people may be surprised by other reasons."

The meaning in this sentence is that the doubt that Ye Zhaoyan had long wanted to break through could not be more urgent now.

After all, no matter how close Cheng Yuyan and Yan Shi were in the past, they should be vigilant.

However, at this moment, she is more concerned about what happened to Cheng Yuyan in her previous life after she married into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and where is the source of Cheng Yuyan's tragic ending?Is it the Chen family?or something else.
Is the fact that the son of Zhennan Wang's son died in the battle has something to do with the tricks that are happening now?
She only knows the surface of the past life, but not the inner reason.

Cheng Yuyan understood the strangeness in her tone, "Zhaoyan, do you know something?"

Ye Zhaoyan looked at Cheng Yuyan's side face, and said patiently: "I live outside the two families, so I don't have the chance to deal with many things for the time being. Yuyan, times have changed, and it is not a good thing to stick to one person's opinion for too long."

At this moment, she couldn't be sure that it was Yan Shi who was playing tricks. She didn't even know what purpose Yan Shi was doing and whether there were other people behind it, so it was not appropriate to draw conclusions.

A wake-up call is all right.

Cheng Yuyan frowned and thought for a moment, then pursed her lips bitterly, "I understand."

Ye Zhaoyan sent Cheng Yuyan out of the house, and as soon as they arrived at the door, a maid came in and reported: "Miss Qi, Lian Luo is back and has been seriously injured!"

"what happened?"

The servant girl responded hastily: "He was originally ordered to protect the general, but was stabbed by the enemy on the way, and fell into a coma for three days and three nights. He couldn't be cured in the southern border, so he had to be sent back to Jindu. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive now." Already!"

Ye Zhaoyan's heart tightened.Although Lian Luo's status was not high, he was Ye Zhengping's most capable subordinate after all, and his strength was not bad. He was seriously injured to this point. I'm afraid Ye Wenxuan's side was extremely dangerous.

"Is there any news from the general?"

The servant girl lowered her head and looked depressed: "Commander Ye looked down after reading the letter, but he didn't say anything."

Ye Zhaoyan closed her eyes slightly, she was familiar with this reaction.Grandpa is seriously injured or his whereabouts are unknown, and the news is kept secret, so this is how it is handled
Seeing that her expression was wrong, Cheng Yuyan comforted her: "Zhaoyan, the matter is not yet settled, so don't mess yourself up. What's more, General Ye is surrounded by experts, and even Ji Sinian is by his side to protect him, so it will be auspicious. , saved the day."

　Thank you for your recommendation tickets. I have been busy these few days. I was planning to update today because I was busy and forgot. I will make up for it.
