step by step

Chapter 41 Cunning Yan Siqi
Ji Sinian clenched his fist slightly, looked at Xue Huaitan complicatedly, lowered his head and did not speak.

Xue Huaidan didn't care whether he agreed or not, he stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his robe, and said in a leisurely tone, "It's a pity for this martial arts, and it's a pity for your mother..."

Ji Sinian clenched his palms tightly and gritted his teeth: "How could Miss Ye be willing to..."

"Whether she is willing or not is not important, what matters is whether you are willing to make some sacrifices for your family." Xue Huaitan interrupted Ji Sinian, speaking indifferently.

Ji Sinian suffocated for breath, and there was a look of struggle in his eyes.

He remembered that on the mountain road, the girl's eyes were clear and firm, and the promise in her mouth was solemn and sincere.

Xue Huaitan approached him, and said in a cold voice, "If she doesn't want to, I have my own way."

His eyes were deep and dangerous, as if this matter was inevitable.

Ji Sinian shuddered violently, and a chill rushed into his mind from the bone marrow.

Her fate has already been arranged.

If not him, there will be someone else.

"How is it? Have you considered it?" Xue Huaidan continued to ask.

Ji Sinian took a deep breath, suppressed the churning emotions in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "I promise you."

A satisfied smile appeared on Xue Huaitan's face, "Very good! Don't worry, you just need to do what I tell you, and I will arrange the rest for you."

In recent years, he has managed in many ways and has eroded a lot of Ye family's power. Although he is not completely under his control, it is still easy to play with an unsuspecting Ye family.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone in the Ye Mansion is still in their dreams and has not yet awakened, he must seize the opportunity to make a good layout and strive for a hit.

Xue Huaitan waved his hand and said: "It's almost dawn, go get ready and treat the injury on your leg by the way."

Ji Sinian raised his head to look at Xue Huaitan, said "yes" with complicated eyes, then turned and left.

After Ji Sinian left, the smile in Xue Huaidan's eyes gradually disappeared, revealing a ruthless look.

Zhao Yan, even if Ye Fu forcefully keeps you, you won't be able to stay for long.

At this time, the Second Steward Xue walked in, bowed his hands to Xue Huaitan, and said in a respectful tone: "Master, the letter has been delivered, and the adults said that people can borrow it, but he can't guarantee what he will say."

Xue Huaidan hummed, with a faint smile on his face, as if he had expected this result.

"Master, do you want this old slave to remind him?" Second Steward Xue asked tentatively.

Xue Huaitan shook his head, "No need, as long as he admits what his eyes see."

"Yes." Butler Xue Er lowered his head and said, but a bright light flashed in his eyes.

Xue Huaidan was so willing to make this arrangement, and clearly wanted to put Ye's mother and daughter in a desperate situation. I am afraid that this time the Ye family will suffer a blow.

Over the years, many of Xue Huaidan's schemes have passed through the hands of his subordinate, and he is naturally aware of the contests among them.

It's just that the centipede is dead but not stiff, and the Ye Mansion's foundation is deep, Xue Huaidan may not be able to gain the upper hand.

After weighing the pros and cons, he didn't want to be in it yet.

Xue Huaitan looked at the expression of the second steward Xue, and said indifferently: "Butler Xue, you have been with me for more than ten years, right?"

Butler Xue Er said respectfully: "Yes, master."

Xue Huaitan nodded, looked at him with deep eyes, and said calmly: "I have always trusted you all these years. There will be a big event tomorrow, and it is time for you to show your loyalty. You should understand what I mean .”

"This old slave understands." The second housekeeper Xue thumped in his heart, and continued: "This old slave is willing to go through fire and water for the rest of his life, and I am grateful for the master's support and support."

"Well, you are indeed an old man who has been with me for many years. I am very pleased that you know how to measure." Xue Huaitan smiled.

Steward Xue heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, he saluted respectfully, and then quietly backed away.

The smile on Xue Huaitan's face disappeared instantly, his eyes were gloomy and cold.

He must enclose Ye's mother and daughter in Tangyuan, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Xue Huaidan's eyes were cold, and his pupils were filled with deep hatred.

"Zhaoyan, you'd better get caught obediently, otherwise, I will definitely not make it easier for you."

……

Zhufu, Zhuqianfeng's study room.

"My lord, the person Xue Huaitan sent to the Yin Temple in Qingzhou Pass to look for is probably a member of the Ye family."

A muscular middle-aged man stood in front of Zhu Qianfeng and told him in detail.

Zhu Qianfeng stared deeply at the dark sky outside the window, and asked indifferently, "Pei Jin, can you find out who it is?"

"I've found out, it's Ye Zhaoyan. Although Xue Huaitan didn't disclose it, the people he sent called that person Miss Zhaoyan." Pei Jin reported truthfully.

Zhu Qianfeng was sitting behind the desk, with a piece of paper in his hand, on which were written a few lines of crazy words, between the lines faintly revealed the rebelliousness of the person who wrote the pen.

Having looked at the pen and ink countless times, I am naturally familiar with it.

Zhu Qianfeng threw the note on the table, frowning slightly.

"My lord? Do you think there is something wrong?" Seeing that Zhu Qianfeng was silent, Pei Jin couldn't help asking.

Zhu Qianfeng shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing, it's just that I can't figure it out."

Zhu Qianfeng has been fighting with Xue Huaidan for many years, if not for the help of his father-in-law, Old General Ye, he would be sitting in Xue Huaidan's position right now.

After many years, he never imagined that there would be a day when Xue Huaidan swung a knife at his benefactor's family.

This person's greed is far more exaggerated than he imagined. He even felt that if Xue Huaidan hadn't been jealous of General Ye's power, the Ye Mansion might have changed hands by now.

More importantly, once Xue Huaidan's plan succeeds, the Xue family's encroachment on the Ye family will definitely be stronger than before, and the resulting power strife will also be reshuffled.

The confrontation between him and Xue Huaidan will never be the same as before.

Thinking of Xue Huaidan's ambition, Zhu Qianfeng felt a little palpitating.

Xue Huaidan, how much do you want to gain by using Ye's mother and daughter?

Or, a bigger game of chess?

"My lord, Xue Huaidan's plan this time will harm the Ye family, so we..." Pei Jin looked at Zhu Qianfeng and asked.

Zhu Qianfeng shook his head, and said indifferently: "He promised such a big benefit, and he only asked Yanzhong to go there. It can be seen that he has enough backing hands, and we can't easily shake him. We don't owe the Ye family, just wait and see Change."

"Yes." Pei Jin replied with a bow, although he was worried about the situation of the Ye family, he did not dare to go against Zhu Qianfeng's intention.

"In addition," Zhu Qianfeng looked out of the window calmly, and said in a deep voice, "Is there any news about the matter I want you to investigate?"

"Not yet." Pei Jin said, "But I have secretly dispatched more people to investigate this matter, and there should be news soon."

Zhu Qianfeng's eyes fell on the note, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You go to Ye Mansion yourself to make sure that Yan Zhong is not threatened."

"Yes, my lord."

"In addition, I asked you to send someone to spy on the Ye family's affairs, so that they don't notice my people." Zhu Qianfeng continued.
