step by step

Chapter 54
Ye Zhaoyan took a deep look at the boy's back, turned around and left quickly.

"Miss?" Seeing that no one answered, the people outside the garden door called out again.

With a "squeak", the heavy wooden door slowly opened.

After seeing the scene inside the house clearly, the people outside couldn't help but be taken aback.

"How is this possible!?"

Xue Youling's eyes widened in surprise, the eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, looking like a ghost.

There was indeed someone in the door, but Ji Sinian was the only one!

She was stared at by people, and locked the door only when people came in. How could there be no Ye Zhaoyan!

She just spent some time looking for the two maids, so they could pretend to pass by "catching rape" together.

Why did Ye Zhaoyan disappear after only a while!
"Why, could it be that there are thieves here?" Ji Sinian sneered, "If Miss Xue doesn't believe it, you can search it yourself, or ask someone to help you find it."

Xue Youling came back to her senses, and glanced at the empty garden, a little unbelievable.

"Go to the corner and look carefully, and don't let you go on the ground!" She ordered the two servant girls sharply.

The two maids responded tremblingly when they heard the words, and hurriedly searched for it honestly.

After a stick of incense passed by, I was afraid that even the grass had to be searched, but nothing was found.

Xue Youling suddenly became unhappy.

"What about Zhaoyan?"

"How do I know where she is? Where she goes is her own business." Ji Sinian looked indifferent.

Xue Youling's complexion suddenly became a little ugly.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "You obviously followed Zhaoyan just now! Both of you are obviously here!"

"I just happened to be passing by."

"Hmph! You two clearly stay here together!" Xue Youling said angrily.

She has sent several groups of people to watch, and she sent them away when she was sure that people had entered, so as not to miss the trick.

"Miss Xue really likes to joke, how could Miss Ye Mansion walk with me?" Ji Sinian pretended to be confused.

This guy actually pretended to be crazy and stupid in front of her, he really wasn't a thing!
A gloomy light flashed in Xue Youling's eyes, and his tone became stern.

"In that case, please tell me, Mr. Ji, what were you doing just now? Why did you appear in such a place?"

She had clearly heard a strange sound of weapons colliding just now, and she thought something had happened.

In the end, Ji Sinian was the only one who appeared in front of her.

Ji Sinian was frank and said seriously: "Miss Xue misunderstood, a maid told me that a lady surnamed Xue was looking for me in this garden, so she came in."

"Bullshit!"

Xue Youling shouted angrily

He dared to touch their Xue sisters.

"Why is Miss Xue getting angry?" Ji Sinian said calmly, "I'm just telling the truth."

Xue Youling was trembling with anger, wishing she could rush up and give him two slaps.

Her eyes suddenly fell on the boy's clothes.

"What's that?" she asked, pointing to the cuts and blood stains on her clothes.

"I was locked in and tried to climb a tree to get out, but accidentally got scratched by a branch."

"Impossible!" Xue Youling shouted. "How could that branch scratch you, it was clearly pierced by something sharp! Don't think I don't know!"

The more she watched, the more suspicious she became, and she couldn't help but stepped forward to take a closer look.

We must be able to find out the clues!
As soon as she was about to walk behind the young man, Ji Sinian's cold and stern eyes fell lightly on her face.

Seeing those cold eyes, Xue Youling felt timid, and stopped unconsciously.

"You, why are you looking at me like that!"

"Miss Xue, please respect yourself."

Ji Sinian's tone was very ordinary, not even the slightest threat.

But it made Xue Youling blush instantly.

"."

She was actually reprimanded by a man, Xue Youling felt that her self-esteem was seriously insulted.

She gritted her teeth and gave Ji Sinian a hard look.

When she sues grandma, let's see how stubborn he is!

Xue Youling thought viciously in her heart, and looked into the garden, but found nothing new.

"You are in such a mess, you must have done it with Ye Zhaoyan, right?" Xue Youling looked at Ji Sinian with a gloomy face, and asked in a cold voice.

She fixed her gaze on Ji Sinian, as if she wanted to see through him.

"It seems inappropriate for Ms. Xue to wrong me like this." Ji Sinian raised his eyebrows, with a hint of mockery on his face.

Seeing that he dared to contradict her, Xue Youling became even angrier.

"Why, you don't admit it?" Xue Youling said angrily: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, I have witnesses! I will confront Ye Zhaoyan immediately!"

"Miss Xue, if you want to go, you'd better find out what the situation is before you go, otherwise, once you appear in front of Miss Zhaoyan, she will definitely not let you go."

Ji Sinian glanced at Xue Youling lightly.

Although he spoke very politely, there was a chill in his tone that made people shudder.

When Xue Youling heard this, her face immediately changed.

If she took the initiative to ask, Ye Zhaoyan would definitely know that she was playing tricks.

Didn't she shoot herself in the foot with a stone? !

No!

Absolutely not!
Xue Youling forced herself to calm down, and she looked around carefully, and saw that except for the old pagoda tree, some branches fell to the ground, the rest of the plants and trees in the yard were normal.

She thought to herself: Could it be that she heard it wrong?

impossible!
Ji Sinian must be talking nonsense.

This man is too cunning!

"Okay! Then I will trust you for the time being. But you have to remember that today's matter must be kept secret, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"Okay, Miss Xue, since you already know that I didn't deceive you, please leave, there is nothing to stay here." Ji Sinian said flatly.

He didn't even look at Xue Youling, but lightly brushed the scabbard of the saber with his right hand.

Xue Youling only felt an inexplicable panic.

She always felt that the man in front of her was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

There are so many things hidden in his eyes.

She bit her lower lip, then gave a cold snort, and left with the servant girl in a flick of her sleeves.

The direction of walking is the Pearl of Mercy Courtyard where Mrs. Xue is located.

Mrs. Xue was sitting in the room, holding an account book in her hand and looking at it. From time to time, she used a brush to draw lines on the account book, as if she was very satisfied.

Many of the property of the Ye Mansion has been managed very well in her hands, especially in the past two years, the income has been so rich that it is not enough to describe it.

Which naturally includes the dowry of Ye's mother and daughter.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught Xue Youling walking in, sighed helplessly, and immediately showed a kind and kind smiling face, greeting Xue Youling.

When she saw Xue Youling, she thought of the shitty things Xue Zhiyan had done.

Originally, Xue Zhiyan was her most valued granddaughter, but Xue Youling was inferior in every aspect.

Now it cannot be treated differently as before.

"You Ling, come and sit down. How is your body recently? Is the wind and cold better?"

Xue Youling walked to the table, and rarely sat down obediently.

"I'm fine Grandma, everything is fine."

"That's good." Mrs. Xue said with a slight smile.

Xue Youling poured a cup of tea from the side and handed it to Mrs. Xue.

"Grandmother, try it."

Mrs. Xue took a look at Xue Youling, and said with a smile: "Why did you come to see me today? Are you bored after being detained for a long time?"

Xue Youling shook her head, and said hesitantly, "Actually, I have some private matters to ask my grandmother."
