Chapter 62 Cheap Abacus
In the garden of Ye Mansion, Ye Zhaoyan was being led by Nanny Li to the main hall.

The morning dew is still heavy, and the wind is a little cold on the face.

The flower branches swayed gently in the wind, and the leaves made a soft sound when they fell on the ground, which seemed extraordinarily hollow.

The chirping of birds could be heard faintly outside the courtyard wall.

There are many more guards in Ye Mansion than usual.

Ye Zhaoyan stretched out his right hand and smoothed the hair from his sideburns behind his ears, his eyes became clearer.

In the past few days, she has been paying attention to Xue's movements, but she has not found any clues, and she does not know what Xue Huaidan is planning.

"Miss Zhaoyan, come with me quickly."

Seeing that her steps were a bit sluggish, Nanny Li hurriedly waved at her.

Having learned the lesson from last time, she dared not trip Ye Zhaoyan again in the open.

It's just that today's errand was personally confessed by the old lady.

What's more, after today, the wind direction of Ye Mansion may change drastically.

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace.

As soon as the two walked out of the garden, they saw a gorgeously dressed figure.

Xue Zhiyan stood at the entrance of the arched door, saw Ye Zhaoyan and hurried up to meet him.

"Sister Zhaoyan, here."

Seeing Xue Zhiyan looking at her enthusiastically, a stiff arc formed at the corner of her mouth.

"Sister Xue, what's the matter?"

Her tone was polite and distant, neither salty nor bland.

Xue Zhiyan gave the nanny a wink, and the nanny hurriedly withdrew.

"Sister Zhaoyan." She then pulled Ye Zhaoyan's left hand enthusiastically, and said affectionately, "Thanks to you for saving me that day, I was not harassed by that disciple."

Ye Zhaoyan was slightly taken aback, and the scene of praying in the backyard of the Yin Temple instantly came to mind.

She pulled out her hand indiscriminately, and said in an indifferent tone: "I don't know if sister Zhiyan has been harassed by Deng Tuzi."

Ye Zhaoyan saw through her intentions at a glance if she didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall.

Xue Zhiyan actually had a wishful thinking and asked Ye Zhaoyan to clarify the dirty things that day for her.

"Isn't Sister Zhaoyan blaming Sister? It was Sister who was rude that day, and I hope Sister Zhaoyan doesn't care about it."

Xue Zhiyan apologized to Ye Zhaoyan sincerely.

Thinking about the big event that will happen in the main hall, she had to do some work in advance.

If Ye Zhaoyan came to a corner and bit her, the loss would not be worth the gain.

"My sister is serious. If my sister is offended by that person, I really shouldn't let Zhaoyan testify."

Ye Zhaoyan said lightly, with a distant smile on his face.

Her words hit the nail on the head.

Xue Zhiyan couldn't hold back immediately, her pretty face flushed red.

"Sister Zhaoyan, it was because I was reckless that day, and it was also because of my urgency. I hope sister Zhaoyan will understand me."

Ye Zhaoyan chuckled when he heard the words, and said in a cold tone: "Sister, don't worry, Zhaoyan is a person with clear grievances and grievances. Back then, it was my sister who blocked the apprentice for me and suffered that humiliation. Zhaoyan will never Forget about this kindness."

Her tone was calm, but every word pierced Xue Zhiyan's heart like a sharp blade.

Xue Zhiyan's face turned pale.

She originally thought that as long as she spoke nicely, Ye Zhaoyan would willingly agree to help her.

But he didn't expect that this girl was so difficult to deal with, and she showed weakness again and again, but this girl still insisted on her mouth.

It seems that she is still too naive, this little bitch simply doesn't like oil and salt.
She gritted her teeth, secretly hating in her heart.

If it wasn't for her uncle's scheming and Ye Zhaoyan's cunning, how could she have encountered such a thing.

At this moment, I still have to endure this kind of ridicule.

After Xue Zhiyan's face changed several times, she finally returned to normal. She raised her head to look at Ye Zhaoyan, and said with a smile, "Sister Zhaoyan is indeed a sensible person. Since that's the case, my sister will stop beating around the bush. If sister Zhaoyan can help me, I will also reciprocate and explain a thing or two for Sister Zhaoyan."

She stretched out her slender white fingers and gently grabbed Ye Zhaoyan's clothes, with a low attitude.

Now that Ye Zhaoyan's reputation has been damaged irretrievably, she can only explain things nicely.

It would be different for Ye Zhaoyan to say a few nice words for her, the maidservant was the only person who witnessed the truth in the Yin Temple that day.

And Xue Huaidan, who knew some inside information, would naturally keep it secret for her.

Ye Zhaoyan
If something wrong comes out of her mouth, I'm afraid it will cause others to speculate and suspect.

Although Ye Zhaoyan has been silent since he came back, but if it is today, she is a little worried about what Ye Zhaoyan will say when he gets to the critical point.

After all, if Ye Zhaoyan retaliates against her for holding grudges, it will be difficult.

"Oh?" Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows, and his tone was not salty, "How can I help you?"

Xue Zhiyan lowered her eyes slightly, covering up the sly look that flashed across her eyes

"Sister Zhaoyan just needs to say that that day when we were in the house where we were praying for blessings, that apprentice was not alone with me."

Her tone was full of pleading, which made Ye Zhaoyan feel sick.

Not alone?

That's her, Ye Zhaoyan, with that apprentice?
Or three together?

Whose voice should the woman in the room belong to?

She is not a fool, so she naturally heard the plan in Xue Zhiyan's words.

Can't help but find it funny, does Xue Zhiyan really think she is an idiot?
He actually wanted her to be his scapegoat.

Ye Zhaoyan showed doubts on his face, and asked in a slightly surprised tone: "Sister Xue, excuse me for being stupid, there are clearly only two people in the room, if the woman is not you, who should it be?"

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyan cursed inwardly, the damn bitch didn't accept her favor.

But she just thought about it in her heart, so naturally she wouldn't say it.

She smiled slightly and said, "Sister Zhaoyan, why do you think so? I just want my sister to be a witness for me! What's more, my sister really has nothing to do with him. It's just that there is no one to prove it, so I asked my sister to testify."

Her beautiful fox eyes blinked, as if looking forward to it.

A mocking smile flashed across Ye Zhaoyan's eyes, this man is really shameless.

She looked at her pretending to be surprised, with a hesitant expression.

"Sister Xue, don't you tell Zhaoyan to lie to everyone?"

Ye Zhao asked sarcastically.

Xue Zhiyan did not expect that she would be so uncooperative.

The smile froze on her face.

"Isn't my sister unwilling to clarify for my sister?"

she asked eagerly.

Now Ye Zhaoyan has not really fallen into the quagmire.

For a while, she really had nothing to do with her.

Ye Zhaoyan didn't answer, but glanced at Xue Zhiyan indifferently, and continued walking forward.

Xue Zhiyan watched Ye Zhaoyan pass by her, and then walked into the main hall without looking back.

His face instantly became extremely pale.

She had no choice but to clenched her palms tightly and followed behind silently.
