step by step

Chapter 84
"Of course it is possible." Ye Zhaoyan replied softly.

This thing was originally Zhuo Yibai's, and now it is only natural for it to be returned to its original owner.

However, thinking about the current situation, she felt a sense of sadness in her heart, and she couldn't help but cast her eyes on the young man.

Now the Ye Mansion is troubled by internal and external troubles, news is blocked, and there is a lack of someone who can communicate with the outside world.

The Zhuo Gongzi in front of him is a choice.

If he is willing to help himself, then there will be a breakthrough for Ye Fu's plight.

She was originally unwilling to embarrass Zhuo Yibai, but when she thought of Ye Fu, she didn't want to think about it so much.

"Then I won't be polite." Zhuo Yibai replied with a smile, put away the paintings in the box, and cupped his hands at Ye Zhaoyan: "Miss Ye, I will take my leave first."

"Wait." Ye Zhaoyan said.

"Miss Ye, is there anything else?" Zhuo Yibai stopped and asked with a smile.

There was a smile in his eyes, and the light in his eyes was clear, which made people lose their minds for a moment.

"I have one more request."

"Miss Ye, but it's okay to say."

Ye Zhaoyan thought for a while and said, "I want to ask you to make another painting today."

"Make another painting?" Hearing Ye Zhaoyan's words, Zhuo Yibai was taken aback.

He thought that the other party was going to mention something about the painting, but he didn't want to. She wanted to draw another painting by herself.

He was a little hesitant. When it comes to portrait painting skills, he is not as good as Zhou Ru.

What's more, his portrait paintings have their own style, which can be seen when compared with Zhou Ru's paintings.

If he paints again, he may not be able to do it.

"Miss Ye, I'm sorry that it's difficult for me to finish." Zhuo Yibai declined politely, "I mostly paint because of my interest, so I'm afraid I can't do it so deliberately."

"I believe in your painting skills." Ye Zhaoyan shook his head and said affirmatively.

It doesn't matter how the painting is, all she wants is a chance.

Seeing the girl's insistence, Zhuo Yibai pondered for a moment, and then agreed: "Since Miss Ye trusts me so much, how dare you ask Miss Ye what painting she wants me to do?"

"Painter Bai's painting skills are exquisite, why don't you draw a landscape picture of our house?"

Hearing this, Zhuo Yibai smiled slightly: "Of course there is no problem."

If it is a landscape painting, he is somewhat confident.

"Okay, thank you then, but I hope to observe it myself, is that okay?" Ye Zhaoyan asked, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

This place is not the place to talk, she wanted to find another opportunity to talk to Zhuo Yibai in detail.

Hearing this, Zhuo Yibai nodded without hesitation.

"Since Miss Ye invites you, I am naturally willing to serve you."

Seeing Zhuo Yibai's hearty answer, Ye Zhaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of gratitude on his face.

Hearing Ye Zhaoyan's words, Mrs. Xue, who had been sitting on the chair without speaking, stood up and looked at Ye Zhaoyan with displeasure.

"Zhaoyan, let him finish the painting by himself, there is no need to toss about like this."

"Grandma, you don't know how to paint." Ye Zhaoyan shook his head, "Painting is an elegant thing, and it is also a beautiful thing if you can appreciate the artist's painting skills."

These words made Mrs. Xue look embarrassed.

Most taboo others say she is vulgar!
She couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Anything that was indecent or indecent was just an affectation and pretentiousness of those literati!
"Hmph, what a beautiful thing! It's just smearing on paper, and you have to spend a lot of time on such a trivial matter!" Mrs. Xue snorted coldly, her face full of contempt.

Seeing this, Xue Zhiyan and Xue Youling at the side both lowered their heads to hide the smiles at the corners of their mouths.

"It's just a painting, so why should grandma care about it?" Ye Zhaoyan's eyes were a little cold, and if it wasn't forced by the situation, she wouldn't talk nonsense to Mrs. Xue.

She couldn't let this opportunity go easily.

Mrs. Xue wanted to reprimand again, but she caught a glimpse of the second butler Xue who was giving her a wink.

She suddenly remembered one thing, and hurriedly restrained her tone and said: "Okay, okay, I want to see how much the painter Bai weighs, Zhiyan, Youling, you also follow!"

"Yes, grandma." Xue Zhiyan and Xue Youling answered in unison.

"Painter Bai, let's go now." Ye Zhaoyan turned to look at Zhuo Yibai.

Zhuo Yibai smiled and nodded, then said a few words to Wei Yu who was beside him, and the group walked towards the backyard.

The second housekeeper Xue saw that the Xue sisters were behind the crowd, so he hurried forward and made a few words.

Ye Zhaoyan told Zhuo Yibai the layout of the Ye family mansion and the surrounding environment while walking.

The Xue sisters were reminded by the second steward Xue, and have been closely watching the two of them.

At this time, I have been listening for a while, but still have not gained anything, so I can't help but feel a little lack of interest.

After Ye Zhaoyan finished talking about Ye Mansion, the topic changed: "That day in Bai Huashi's Mansion, there was a scene in the southwest corner, which was quite new."

That day in Zhuo Wang's Mansion, Ye Zhaoyan climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, which was the southwest corner.

Not only is that place secluded and uninhabited, and the guards are loose, it is also a low-lying place where it is easy to escape.

"The view from the southwest corner?" Zhuo Yibai asked, somewhat clear, it seemed to be the second brother's yard.

"Yes, there is a lake in the southwest corner, and there is a big banyan tree beside the lake, with luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the sun with shade, and the scenery is excellent." Ye Zhaoyan nodded and said, "The scenery there is particularly prominent. Can Master Bai know why?"

"Why?"

"There is no high wall to cover that place, and the feeling of depression is dissipated, so it looks particularly elegant."

"So it is." Zhuo Yibai suddenly realized, then raised his head, his eyes fell on Ye Zhaoyan, and said with a smile, "So Miss Ye likes this style."

Ye Zhaoyan's eyes were deep, and he continued: "There is also such a scene in the northwest corner of Ye Mansion."

This place is also the place where Ye Zhaoyan often escaped for fun when he was a child.

If there are no guards outside, it is an excellent place to escape.

Only not anymore.

If there is no external response, it can only be displayed.

"So coincidentally?"

"Is it a coincidence?" Ye Zhaoyan said softly, "I don't think so."

"Miss Ye, what does this mean?" Zhuo Yibai frowned and looked at Ye Zhaoyan, he could feel what Ye Zhaoyan wanted to tell him.

"Painter Bai should be able to guess." Ye Zhaoyan looked at him and said every word.

Zhuo Yibai still had doubts in his heart, not knowing what Ye Zhaoyan meant.

She is not an ordinary woman, and it is impossible for her words and deeds to be without deep meaning.

I just don't know, what do you want to do?
Seeing this, Xue Zhiyan at the side became vigilant, and interjected with a smile: "Sister Zhaoyan is playing riddles with Master Bai?"

Ye Zhaoyan turned his head and looked at Xue Zhiyan with a mocking smile on his lips.

"This is a secret between me and Painter Bai, so I won't tell you anything."

The smile on Xue Zhiyan's face froze immediately.

"Sister Zhaoyan, why are you doing this?" Xue Youling had a trace of displeasure on her face, "Zhiyan just kindly reminded you not to say things you shouldn't say."

This Ye Zhaoyan is really shameless.

Even though she is already a girl waiting to be married, she still looks like the eldest lady of the Ye family!
Xue Youling felt very uncomfortable.
