step by step

Chapter 51
Not only that, Xue Youling had to find a way to tell Mr. Zhuo about this matter.

She can be sure that if the other party knows the inside story, they will definitely abandon Ye Zhaoyan.

Besides, she helped Mr. Zhuo expose Ye Zhaoyan's true face, which would definitely make him look at him differently!
Seeing Xue Youling leaving in a hurry, Xue Zhiyan could not help but sneer in her heart.

She doesn't mind borrowing someone else's hand to get rid of Ye Zhaoyan.

Thinking of the lesson Xue Huaidan taught her in the dark room, her eyes dimmed.

No matter what, she will do her best to facilitate this matter, after all, it is related to her future in the Xue Mansion.

However, now is not the time, this matter needs an opportunity.

And this opportunity.
When Xue Zhiyan thought of this, a strange arc was drawn at the corner of her mouth.

On the other side, Zhuyu reported the news to Ye Zhaoyan.

Nanny Yan was a cunning and tricky person, she took five taels of silver, and then squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "Mr. Zhuo met the two young ladies".

After Ye Zhaoyan heard it, he thought about it and couldn't make it.

The son of Zhuo Wang's mansion came to Ye's mansion to meet the two ladies?

Is there any plan that could involve the Xue sisters?
Ye Zhaoyan's brows were furrowed, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't guess a reasonable possibility, and he felt extremely depressed.

When she heard that Zhuo Mingxuan had come to her door, she originally thought of looking for him to clear up all the doubts in her heart.

As a result, Zhuo Mingxuan went straight to Xue Huaitan and the others when he arrived in the mansion, which made her lose her mind.

The friend of the enemy is no longer a friend.

"Miss, how about I ask for more money?" Seeing her frown, Zhuyu was very worried.

Ye Zhaoyan shook his head. I'm afraid that the really important news is not something that can be known by the status of Yan Nanny.

Fortunately, this evening, I finally received a message from Qi Duanshu.

Qi Duanshu said in Feige's message that she was already on the way to Mount Shangbi and would arrive within two days.

Ye Zhaoyan felt heavy and sighed again.

Sure enough, there are traitors among the soldiers at Chengguan.

I'm afraid this person's status is not low, otherwise how could even an "old man" like Qi Duanshu have no way to shake him, so he could only retreat to Mount Shangbi.

She asked Zhuyu to send the two little girls to stroll around the gatehouse from time to time, and continue to keep an eye on the situation in Ye's mansion.

If this person is a traitor, he must have some contact with the master behind him.

She is [-]% sure that this person has something to do with Xue Huaidan's power.

The enemy is still unknown in the dark, but anyway, this is a very good clue.

The soldiers at Chengguan are useless, and if something happens now, it will be tricky.

Although Mrs. Xue hasn't moved yet, both she and Mr. Qi can feel that a deep conspiracy is brewing ahead.

She looked at the night sky outside the window, and suddenly remembered what her mother had said, and a name appeared in her mind.

Wei Linfeng.

When Ye Zhaoyan disappeared, he was the one who went to Ye Mansion to suppress the demons and monsters who were making trouble.

As a powerful military officer in the imperial court, although his rank is not high, he holds real military power.

It's a pity that General Ye is not around, Xue Huaidan, as the temporary Patriarch of Ye Mansion, will never allow him to protect Ye's by his side.

However, if he can provide some help, he can also turn things around at critical moments.

"Zhuyu, ask someone to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to write a letter to you." Ye Zhaoyan pondered for a moment, then ordered.

She wanted to write to Wei Linfeng to ask for support.

Even if you can't intervene on the surface, it can provide an "unknown" force.

She believed that Wei Linfeng would not refuse.

"Yes! I will order someone to fetch it right away!" Zhuyu immediately turned around and walked towards the bookcase upon hearing this.

She quickly fetched the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Ye Zhaoyan picked up the pen and began to write quickly on the paper.

"Miss!" At this moment, Qi Lao rushed over.

Ye Zhaoyan put down the pen in his hand, and asked, "Old Qi, what happened? Why are you so anxious and flustered?"

Elder Qi walked into the room and said eagerly, "Just now, Scholar Zhong's cronies have sent news that the imperial court has issued a transfer order, sending many officials to various places in the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief in three days!"

When Ye Zhaoyan heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "A transfer order?"

She suddenly remembered what Xue Huaidan mentioned at the family banquet some time ago.

The emperor ordered him to go to Jiangnan in the second ten days. He was "worried" about the safety of his wife and daughter and wanted to take them away along the way.

It's just that the transfer order was not mentioned at the time.

Could it be...

"When did you download it?"

"It was said that it was issued yesterday! Scholar Zhong said that he would also go to the south of the Yangtze River with some officials." After Qi Lao finished speaking, he looked at her worriedly.

Scholar Zhong was also one of General Ye's students. He was not outstanding in martial arts, but fortunately he was upright and organized, so he was promoted by General Ye to become a civil servant.

Ye Zhaoyan's eyes fell on the letter on the table, he picked it up, and quickly opened it to read.

After reading each line, her complexion became more and more serious.

She knew, she had guessed right.

This letter lists dozens of people who went south, and half of them are disciples and supporters of General Ye.

She could almost imagine Xue Huaidan's rhetoric to the Holy Majesty.

General Ye's son-in-law recommended the old man's disciples to go with him, which was very reasonable.

"Miss, what's the matter?" Seeing her uneasy expression, Zhuyu felt worried.

Ye Zhaoyan handed the letter in his hand to Zhuyu, and told him, "Don't say anything about it beforehand, keep the things away."

"Yes, Miss." Zhuyu nodded.

"Also." Ye Zhaoyan looked at Zhuyu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Go to the madam's yard early tomorrow morning, and when you see her after breakfast, tell her that Miss is not feeling well, please come and visit her."

Seeing this, Mr. Qi looked at Ye Zhaoyan in surprise, as if he didn't understand what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd.

Ye Zhaoyan explained: "I think Grandpa may leave some rescue method for Mother. I have the right to try it."

When Old Qi heard the words, he came to a sudden realization.

Ye Zhaoyan wanted to find the dark support belonging to Ye Fu from his wife.

This idea is very tricky. He originally thought that it was impossible for the young lady to think of this level.

I didn't expect her to be so quick-witted.

Old Qi couldn't help affirming Ye Zhaoyan in his heart.

"The old slave will send messages to several familiar adults with trustworthy people." He nodded and promised.

The more you prepare, the more hope you have.

If it comes to a critical juncture, they still have some bargaining chips.

The next morning.

"Miss, Zhuyu and Ying'er are gone."

Ye Zhaoyan had just finished her breakfast when she saw a maid from the outer courtyard rushing into her room, her tone full of anxiety.

Ye Zhaoyan frowned, Zhuyu didn't come back after going out for more than half an hour, she thought it was the little maid who was waiting for her mother to finish her meal, so she didn't care.

On the other hand, Ying'er was inexplicably anxious, "The maidservant left food for Zhuyu, it will be cold if she doesn't come back" and ran to find someone.

At this moment, Ye Zhaoyan felt a vague uneasiness in his heart.

These two girls are usually lively and optimistic, even if they are playful occasionally, they have never neglected the things she confessed.

Could it be, what happened?
Ye Zhaoyan was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

She said lightly, "Can you see where they disappeared?"
