step by step

Chapter 7
Soon came the auspicious day of prayer.

Ye Fugui accompanied his daughter to the front yard early in the morning, with a warm smile on his face.

Ye Zhaoyan rested carefully for a few days and looked very good.

"Zhaoer, your father is very concerned about your affairs. He has been searching around for the past two days, day and night, and he is almost exhausted."

When Ye Fugui spoke, there was a bit of distress in his words.

Only she knew that her distress was mostly for her daughter.

Ye Zhaoyan was amused when he heard the words, he was afraid that the wine and the cup were lost, which made Xue Huaidan extremely anxious, wishing to dig three feet into the ground.

He never imagined that it would be Ye Zhaoyan himself who walked along.

The soft sedan chair made her get twice the result with half the effort like giving her a pillow when she was drowsy.

"Zhaoyan will remind father to rest more." She responded obediently.

Long before Xue Huaidan became suspicious, Ye Zhaoyan had already handled this "big gift" properly.

The two walked to the front yard, only to see someone was already waiting there.

Xue Huaitan was dressed in black riding attire, with a gold chain and saber around his waist, looking like a servant of the world.

Mrs. Qin put on a moon-white brocade robe embroidered with bamboo forest patterns, combed a flying fairy bun, and wore a cloak.

Ye Fu closed his daughter's neckline and told her to be careful all the way.

The ear doors opened, and Ye Zhaoyan walked out, wearing a plain white gauze skirt and pearl hairpins on her head, her appearance was beautiful and elegant, like a green lotus that emerged from the mud without being stained.

Ye Zhaoyan nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Father, Mrs. Qin."

She has an elegant and refined charm, which is completely opposite to the vulgar fragrance of powder on her daughter's house.

This kind of her calmed down the anger in Xue Huaitan's heart a little bit.

That pure aura does not seem to be a cunning person who is well versed in strategy.

Perhaps the previous speculation was that he was paranoid.

His face softened a little, and he said: "Zhaoyan, father will escort you and Mrs. Qin to the Yin Temple today."

"Father has been working hard for days. My daughter can't bear it." Ye Zhaoyan was slightly stunned, not knowing what Xue Huaidan was planning.

Xue Zhiyan who had just walked to the gate of the mansion at this time also heard Xue Huaidan's words, and her footsteps paused.

She knew that Mrs. Qin wanted to bring Ye Zhaoyan to pray for blessings, so she was a little unhappy at first.

In the past few years, Ye Zhaoyan and General Ye have been away all year round, even when they return home, they seldom go out.

Most of the occasions when this kind of female relatives go out are she and Xue Youling.

The two of them used to regard themselves as Miss Ye Fu when they were outside, and they received countless preferential treatment, which made them quite respectable.

Now that Ye Zhaoyan is going out, this preferential treatment may not be the same as before.

Fortunately, the temple to pray for blessings this time is a remote small temple, not very famous, even if Ye Zhaoyan went, it would not affect her.

It's just that Ye Zhaoyan went out in person, whether it was a coincidence or other plans, it is not known.

It was thinking of this relationship that she woke up early to inquire about the situation.

Unexpectedly, the elder would personally escort him.

This can't help but make her a little suspicious.

Could it be that Ye Zhaoyan played tricks in it, trying to regain the glory lost in these years?
Thinking of this, the jealousy in her heart surged up like a tide, making her clenched her fists involuntarily, and her nails pierced her palms, which hurt a little, but also made her a little sober.

The reputation of Miss Ye Mansion, who has worked hard for several years, is now going to be picked peaches, how can she hold her breath.

She took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, and called softly: "Uncle!"

Hearing the voice of his niece Jiao Didi, Xue Huaidan turned his head to look over, and saw that it was Xue Zhiyan, and frowned.

He has always had a kind attitude towards Xue's daughter, let alone such an outstanding Xue Zhiyan.

In his eyes, Xue Zhiyan has a special meaning.

But today he has more important things to do, Xue Zhiyan's appearance is a bit of an eyesore at the moment.

"Yeah! You're here too!" Xue Huaidan nodded, still giving Xue Zhiyan some face.

Xue Zhiyan was delighted in her heart, still showing no trace on her face, she just responded weakly: "Yes, Yan'er heard that my uncle is going out, so I came here specially to see off my uncle, and take a look at Sister Zhaoyan by the way."

Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help sneering when he heard this.

Xue Zhiyan was wearing a lake-blue brocade blouse, which made her delicate melon-seeded face fair and juicy.

Evidently groomed.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Xue Zhiyan couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Uncle, Zhi Yan wants to go to the temple with Sister Zhaoyan to pray for blessings, so as to pray for Sister Zhaoyan." She continued softly.

Mrs. Qin was a little surprised when she saw this. The temple she went to today was just a small temple with little reputation, which could actually attract Miss Xue's heart.

I didn't see her caring so much about worshiping Buddha in the past.

Xue Huaidan frowned, and was about to refuse, when he heard Ye Zhaoyan's gentle voice: "Since Sister Zhiyan is willing to contribute, then Zhaoyan will thank you in advance."

After finishing speaking, she showed a grateful smile to Xue Zhiyan.

Seeing this smile, Xue Zhiyan was a little surprised, and said strangely: "Sisters should help each other."

Regardless of whether Ye Zhaoyan really appreciates her or not, at least her goal has been achieved.

Xue Huaidan frowned, which was somewhat different from his original plan.

He pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, Mrs. Qin will take them there together. The two girls will always take care of each other when they are together, so I can rest assured."

The carriage quickly drove out of Ye Mansion and entered the bustling market.

Xue Huaitan led a group of people and rode behind them far away.

Ye Zhaoyan gently lifted the car curtain and looked out, only to see people coming and going on the street, which was very lively.

All kinds of lanterns are hung in the shops on the street, which is a bustling scene.

She secretly sighed in her heart, she had not seen the sun for three years, and she had forgotten that the capital was so prosperous.

Ye Fu's carriage was spacious and comfortable, Ye Zhaoyan leaned against the cushion and began to close his eyes and fall asleep.

With Xue Zhiyan on her back, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

What's more, she has other backhands.

Xue Zhiyan sat on the other side of Ye Zhaoyan, looking at her from time to time.

Ye Zhaoyan didn't want to talk to her until another line of sight came over.

She opened her eyes and saw Mrs. Qin's eyes fixed on her cheeks.

That expression is extremely complicated.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at this lady seriously for the first time since her rebirth.

She is well maintained, with a delicate complexion, slightly curved eyes, and a very amiable smile.

Already in his forties, he still has an outstanding demeanor, with a frown and a smile.

It's just that those phoenix eyes are deep and bright, revealing a touch of shrewdness, as if they can see into anyone's secrets.

She looked at Ye Zhaoyan with pity in her eyes.

That look was like looking at a wounded child.

However, Ye Zhaoyan didn't have such a look in his memory.

Mrs. Qin in her previous life had very little contact with her, and she never took her to pray for blessings.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan looking over, Madam Qin smiled and said, "Zhaoyan, did you sleep well last night?"

Ye Zhaoyan withdrew his thoughts, smiled lightly, and said, "Thank you Mrs. Qin for thinking about it, I slept well last night!"

Her feelings towards Mrs. Qin are not bad, even though she is Xue Huaitan's aunt.

It's just that there should be some caution but can't be less.

After hearing Ye Zhaoyan's words, Mrs. Qin smiled gratifiedly, and said, "It's windy today, so be careful of catching a cold. I've prepared a cloak for you."

After finishing speaking, he reached out and took out a light red brocade cloak from the dowry box of the carriage and handed it over.

Ye Zhaoyan took a look at the cloak.

The shawl is made of fine sheep fur, and the tentacles are luscious and tender, making it very warm to the touch.

She was wearing a plain white gauze dress, and the cloak could just cover her exquisite curves.

Such a material is probably expensive.

Ye Zhaoyan glanced at Mrs. Qin calmly.

She was very thoughtful.

It's just that this kind of color is so eye-catching, which makes her feel weird.
