step by step

Chapter 97

How come my uncle doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so he only asked for water for himself.

Another woman also came forward, carrying a bucket of steaming water.

The bride at the side lowered her head and didn't say a word.

"Let's put it down." Ji Sinian nodded, his forehead was already dripping with sweat.

The two women exchanged winks and immediately retreated.

Ji Sinian hurriedly took off his clothes and entered the bathtub, the cold water flooded his waist and abdomen, which restored his mind to a little bit of clarity.

He pressed his shoulder with his left hand, trying to ease the pain of the wound.

However, those desires are lingering.

This situation lasted for about half a cup of tea, and the heat on my body finally subsided a little.

"You wash it too, and put on your regular clothes." Ji Sinian tidied up properly, and said to Ying'er, who was on his back.

Mammy will come to clean up the tub later, if she sees that "Ye Zhaoyan" doesn't touch it, she might become suspicious.

Ying'er also thought of this, she didn't dare to delay, picked up the common clothes that Zhuyu had prepared for her, ran behind the screen, and stepped into another bathtub.

At this moment, in the courtyard wall, a black figure sneaked in quietly.

The door creaked open.

Ye Zhaoyan stepped into the room lightly, with a look of anxiety on his face.

She went to the courtyard in the northwest corner only to find that the building was empty, so she hurried over, but Nanny Yin couldn't keep up and stopped halfway.

There was no one in the room, only the sound of water coming from inside and the woman's suppressed sobbing could be heard.

Ye Zhaoyan panicked and quickly ran behind the screen.

When Ying'er heard the doorbell, her body froze, she quickly covered her body with her hands, and couldn't help but let out a cry.

"Miss!" Seeing that it was Ye Zhaoyan, Ying'er cried bitterly.

"Have you been bullied?!" Ye Zhaoyan looked at Ying'er, who was disheveled, with anger and hatred in his heart.

"Ye Zhaoyan?" A voice suddenly came from outside the screen.

Hearing Ji Sinian's voice, Ye Zhaoyan leaned over and put his sword against his throat, "What did you do to her?"

Ji Sinian looked at the murderous woman in front of him, his heart trembled, and he was about to speak.

Ye Zhaoyan tightened the edge of the sword in his hand, and he felt a bloody mark under his Adam's apple.

The gurgling blood stayed along the edge of the sword.

"Ah..." Ying'er behind the screen turned pale with fright, and finally came to her senses, "Miss, he didn't treat me."

At this point, she couldn't go on, the look on her face suggested everything.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Ye Zhaoyan asked, with deep concern in his voice.

Ying'er shook her head, feeling warm in her heart.

"Master Ji didn't touch me."

Ye Zhaoyan was slightly relieved when he heard this, and let go of his sword.

Ying'er breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away her tears, and wrapped her clothes around her body indiscriminately.

She looked up at Ye Zhaoyan, her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was crying: "Miss, I."

Ye Zhaoyan sighed, stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, and said distressedly: "In the future, you can't make decisions on your own."

"Yeah." Ying'er nodded with tears in her eyes.

"My lord, have you finished washing?" Suddenly there was a knock on the door, it was the two women.

Ying'er's body trembled violently, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing this, Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help frowning.

She threw the sword in her hand under the bed, turned around and walked behind the screen, and quickly changed into the wedding dress.

Seeing this, Ying'er quickly pulled her clothes to wrap herself tightly, and hid in the side room on the other side.

Ji Sinian wiped the blood off his body, and turned his back gently.

"Come in."

Two women pushed the door open and came in, taking out the already cold tub.

Seeing that Ye Zhaoyan had lifted his hijab and was sitting at the table with a stern face, their eyes were full of contempt and ridicule.

She has been reduced to this point, and she still looks so cold and unapproachable, who is she showing it to?
Their eyes swept under the screen, and seeing the messy clothes on the ground, they couldn't help but secretly scolded Ye Zhaoyan for being low.

But this uncle is also pathetic, to have such a marriage.

"Clean up here and move things away." Ye Zhaoyan ordered.

After the two women heard these words, they picked up the dress with disgust on their faces.

"Yes, miss." While speaking, he still looked at Ye Zhaoyan sideways with disdainful eyes.

After the two women walked away, Ye Zhaoyan turned around and walked aside.

"I'll go find my grandmother in a while and send these people away from the yard, and you will quietly run back through the back door."

Yinger nodded.

Ye Zhaoyan took a deep look at Ji Sinian, then turned and walked out of the room.

In the Pearl of Mercy Courtyard, Mrs. Xue was accompanied by the Xue sisters and did not fall asleep.

If you can't wait for what she wants, you won't be able to sleep well tonight.

"Oh? Did you go there on your own initiative?"

Madam Xue raised her eyebrows and looked at Aunt Yuliu.

"Returning to the old lady's words, the old slave saw it with her own eyes."

"Oh!" Mrs. Xue snorted lightly, "It's rare that she is so obedient, and the future will be smooth?"

This question is superfluous, she thought about the things on the golden step, so she naturally knew the result.

Although it is not as easy to use as the other things, it has its own advantages.

Sure enough, Aunt Yuliu replied: "It should be. The old woman said that Young Master Ji also ordered two buckets of water."

"Two buckets of water?!" Mrs. Xue showed surprise on her face, "I'm really shameless!"

The Xue sisters looked at each other with gloating expressions on their faces.

"I'm still wondering why sister Zhaoyan took the initiative this time, I'm afraid she has already taken a fancy to Mr. Ji." Xue Youling said with a smile.

"Don't look at Mr. Ji being cold, he is honest with everyone, but he is not normal for sister Zhaoyan." Xue Zhiyan also echoed.

Mrs. Xue's face showed a look of relief when she heard the words, and she thought to herself that Ye Zhaoyan really had some skills to subdue such a frosty man.

Standing behind Ji Sinian is Jiangnan Ji's family, maybe someday it will come in handy.

As soon as the words were finished, there was a noise coming from the gate of the courtyard.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Xue asked suspiciously.

"Go back to the old lady, the eldest lady is here, and she said she is here to get medicine."

Mrs. Xue was unhappy, it was really unruly to run towards her at such a late hour.

So what if he just waited for one night, would Ye Fugui still die? !
Xue Zhiyan covered her mouth with a veil, with a look of disgust on her face.

Ye Zhaoyan ran here just after finishing those things, it was really shocking.

"It's really bad luck." Xue Youling muttered.

Outside the Minzhu Courtyard, the maid guarding the gate looked impatient, "The old lady has already gone to bed, Missy, please come back tomorrow."

Ye Zhaoyan looked at the candlelight in the courtyard and the holes on the courtyard wall, a look of anger flashed across his brows, and he walked around her straight in.

"Miss, don't make things difficult for the servants, the old lady has already rested!"

"Go away!" Ye Zhaoyan yelled angrily, and slapped her away with his scabbard, but felt a slight pain in his arm.

She looked at her hands strangely.

The guard's little maid screamed in fright, fell to the ground, and looked at Ye Zhaoyan in horror.

Ye Zhaoyan was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, kicked open the courtyard door and walked in.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, Nanny Yuliu came out, holding a package in her hand, and saluted: "Miss, this is what you want."

Ye Zhaoyan took the package and inspected it carefully. The medicinal materials and prescriptions should be complete.

　Tomorrow is the escape from marriage, and the hero is online.

　　Off-topic, I don’t know if you have noticed the character design of the first male and the second male. Usually, the cold and cool iceberg male is the male protagonist, and the warm and sunny male second is mostly the male lead. This article is reversed.
