Chapter 55
"Oh, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Xue asked with great interest.

Xue Youling looked around, lowered her voice and said, "Actually, it's about that Ji Shaoxia."

"Him?" Mrs. Xue asked suspiciously.

Xue Youling looked around to see if there was no one around, then she whispered a few words in Mrs. Xue's ear, and finally added something.

Mrs. Xue frowned when she heard this, her eyes were deep.

What Xue Youling said was not what she thought.

It's just that many of General Ye's disciples are still in Jindu, Xue Huaidan has already informed her, so we still need to wait for the right time.

"Grandma, what do you think?"

Xue Youling looked expectantly at Mrs. Xue.

A solemn look flashed across Mrs. Xue's face.

"I can't agree to your matter."

Xue Youling was taken aback for a moment, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Grandmother, why can't you agree?" Xue Youling asked anxiously.

Mrs. Xue sighed.

"Because our Xue family can't do this yet, it's better for you not to interfere in this matter, so as not to cause fire." Mrs. Xue persuaded earnestly.

"Why?" Xue Youling asked puzzledly: "You are the mistress of the Ye Mansion, and your uncle is the head of the Ye Mansion. Why are you still afraid of them?"

"You, you're still too immature!" Mrs. Xue stretched out her index finger and pointed the melon seeds on Xue Youling's head, with a bit of hatred in her tone.

How could this girl be so aggressive? When she thought of Xue Zhiyan who had behaved well in the past, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

After all, there is some gap between the two granddaughters.

Xue Youling's heart trembled, and she immediately realized that what she said just now was too impulsive.

She hurriedly apologized with a smile and said, "Grandmother, forgive me, it's my granddaughter who was rude."

"You child, grandma is not blaming you, but just thinks that you are too young to see through some things. Do you think your uncle is really capable of contending with the Ye family's power?" Mrs. Xue said earnestly.

Xue Youling pursed her lips, but said nothing.

Of course she didn't believe Mrs. Xue's words, and it was not their Xue family who had the final say in Ye Mansion.

Seeing that Xue Youling was silent, Mrs. Xue continued: "Grandmother knows that you are all for the benefit of the Xue family, but this matter is of great importance, not only involving the Ye family, but also involving the daughter of the Ye family. Grandmother also hopes Don't cause trouble for now. Ye Zhaoyan is not obedient, if you annoy her, you will be the one who suffers in the future."

Xue Youling felt a little resentful when she heard the words, where did she get into trouble?She obviously did a good job, okay?
But she didn't dare to refute directly, after all, she still had a lot to rely on Mrs. Xue.

I could only bear the aggrieved heart, and forced a smile.

"Thank you grandma for reminding me. You Ling will remember it, and I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."

"Well, just remember it." Mrs. Xue nodded in satisfaction seeing Xue Youling's respectful attitude.

After hesitating for a moment, seeing that Xue Youling still had some resentment on her face, she took out a jewelry box from the cabinet and stuffed it into Xue Youling's hands.

The box is embroidered with auspicious clouds outlined in gold silk, and one can tell at a glance that the items contained are of great value.

Seeing the exterior decoration of the box, Xue Youling's eyes quickly flashed a trace of surprise, and she couldn't help smiling and said, "What is this?"

She has seen this box before.

One time when she passed the warehouse of Ye Fugui, she saw Ye Fugui's big maids sorting things out, and they had such boxes in their hands.

She naturally knew that there were good things in this box.

Mrs. Xue smiled and opened it slowly.

I saw a whole body of emerald green hosta in full bloom, and the color was excellent.

The jade hairpin is inlaid with bright white jade stones the size of a thumb, and the jade stones are carved into the shape of a phoenix bird, which is as lifelike as a real living thing.A golden silk dragon is wrapped around the body of the hairpin, entrenched on it, majestic and imposing.On the top of the hairpin are three finely carved small peonies, which are delicate and charming.

"This jasper hairpin is said to be a treasure handed down from the previous dynasty, and it is of extraordinary value." Mrs. Xue said proudly.

Xue Youling stared at the emerald green hairpin in the box with sparkling eyes, with a frenzied gleam in his eyes.

"Grandma, who is this for?" she asked cautiously.

Mrs. Xue smiled and nodded: "Grandma took this hairpin from the storeroom, so it's naturally for you."

The warehouse is naturally Yefu's warehouse, but the things are not theirs.

Originally, Ye Zhaoyan had to wait until Ye Zhaoyan got married before he could take out the good things inside and dispose of them.

However, in the past few days, preparations have been made for Ye Zhaoyan's going south to Ji's house.

Sending a daughter-in-law out of the mansion naturally requires a heavy dowry.

The warehouse was taken over by Mrs. Xue in the name of "choosing for her granddaughter".

When she took care of Ye's granddaughter, she naturally had to think about her own granddaughter.

"Grandma, you love You Ling too much."

Xue Youling said gratefully.

She didn't expect her grandmother to give herself such a precious thing.

"Silly boy, you are my granddaughter. If grandma doesn't love you, who else will you love? Grandma only wants you to be good. If others treat you badly, you don't have to take it to heart. Do you understand?"

The meaning in the words is self-evident.

Xue Youling's heart warmed up, and a certain idea in her heart became stronger.

On the other side, Ye Zhaoyan had already returned to his yard.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ye Fugui waiting for her.

"Zhaoyan, where have you been? Let your mother find it easier."

Ye Fugui's eyes fell on Ye Zhaoyan's clothes.

Her clothes were stained with a lot of dust, the clothes were wrinkled, and there was still a lot of dust left.

Seeing that there were red marks and blood on her daughter's hands, Ye Fugui immediately felt distressed.

"What's going on here? Why are you in such a mess?"

Ye Zhaoyan smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing, I fell down."

Ye Fugui bandaged her wound while complaining about her daughter's carelessness.

After freshening up and changing clothes, Ye Zhaoyan hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "Mother, did Grandpa leave anything special for you?"

Ye Fugui looked at Ye Zhaoyan in surprise, feeling a faint sense of danger in his heart.

In her memory, her father did give her some items and told her to keep them safe and not to show them to others unless it was absolutely necessary.

It's just that she has never used those things, and she didn't expect any use for them.

Seeing Ye Fugui's hesitant expression, Ye Zhaoyan knew that her guess was pretty close.

"Mother, can you show that to Zhaoyan?" Ye Zhaoyan begged.

Seeing this, Ye Fugui pondered for a moment, finally nodded, went back to the room and took out two keys.

Only one of them is the key to the warehouse, the other is her secret.

Although it was in the warehouse with other valuables, it was not together.

Ordinary people can't easily find it.

When the two came to the warehouse, Ye Fugui took out the key to unlock it, but he couldn't open it no matter what.

This made her a little surprised.

"Mother, is the key wrong?" Ye Zhaoyan asked doubtfully.

Ye Fugui changed the key again, but found that the lock was still motionless.

"How could this be?" Ye Fugui's face changed slightly.

Ye Zhaoyan took a closer look at the keyhole and found that the keyhole was as clean as new.

She understood immediately.

The lock has been replaced by a brand new lock.
