Chapter 45
"Mother, this matter is not what they said," Ye Zhaoyan patted Ye Fugui's shoulder lightly, and looked at her solemnly, "I was not insulted by bad people."

"What did you say?"

Ye Fugui raised his head, tears were still on his face, shock was written in his eyes,

"You heard me right, Zhaoyan really wasn't insulted by the bad guys."

Ye Zhaoyan nodded lightly, with a bit of firmness and coldness in his voice.

Ye Fugui reached out and grabbed Ye Zhaoyan's arm, and said excitedly, "Zhaoyan, is what you said true?"

Ye Zhaoyan nodded.

"It's fine if you don't, it's fine if you don't"

Ye Fugui's tears welled up again

Seeing the determination and stubbornness in her daughter's eyes, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Zhaoyan stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the remaining tears on Ye Fugui's cheeks, and said in a clear voice, "Mother, you don't need to worry about me. I practice martial arts since I was a child, and I am very skilled in martial arts. Those people can't do anything to me. As for those so-called The evidence is nothing more than false accusations, nothing to fear."

Ye Fugui nodded again and again, the tears in the corners of his eyes still did not stop, "Mother thinks so too, but when Mother sees the mottled scars on your body, and those people's words, it really hurts my heart."

"Mother, don't worry." Ye Zhaoyan held Ye Fugui's palm and said solemnly, "I will investigate this matter."

Ye Fugui was stunned, his voice trembling: "Zhaoyan, what happened? You tell mother!"

Ye Zhaoyan pursed his lips, his eyes were cold: "I'm fine, it's just a misunderstanding."

She lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the complicated look in her eyes.

Her heart is full of hatred, but this hatred can only be suppressed in her heart.

Mother is a person who can't hide her thoughts.

I can't hide the concern and worry in my eyes.

Looking at the face in front of her who was not yet familiar with the dangers of the world, she was both grateful and heartbroken.

If it weren't for Xue Huaidan, the Ye Mansion in the previous life would not have suffered the disaster of extermination...

"Misunderstand?"

A strange feeling crossed Ye Fugui's heart.

"Zhaoyan, do you know who caused this misunderstanding?"

Ye Zhaoyan shook his head, and his voice sounded lightly: "I don't know."

"Mother will definitely uphold justice for you."

Ye Fugui's eyebrows reveal a bit of perseverance and determination

There was a strong feeling in her heart that this incident was by no means a coincidence.

"Mother, there's no need, I have my own discretion in this matter." Ye Zhaoyan looked at her and said with burning eyes.

"Zhaoyan, mother cannot tolerate others harming you."

Ye Zhaoyan stretched out his hand and grabbed Ye Fugui's sleeve, and said softly: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me! I have my own arrangements!"

Ye Zhaoyan's tone was full of strength.

Ye Fugui felt a little more at ease when she heard the words, she took a deep breath, suppressed the panic and fear in her heart, looked at Ye Zhaoyan and said, "Zhaoyan, you should rest at ease to recuperate, and then make plans after the injury is healed. "

Ye Zhaoyan didn't speak, but just nodded.

"Madam, the master invites you to the study."

While the two were talking, Mother Li's voice came from outside the door.

Ye Zhaoyan loosened Ye Fugui's sleeve.

"Zhaoyan, you have a good rest, and if you need anything, ask someone to tell your mother."

A gentle smile appeared on Ye Fugui's face.

"Don't worry, mother, I will take care of myself."

"Ah."

Ye Fugui responded and left.

As soon as she left on her front foot, a servant girl brought a bowl of tonic into the house on her back foot.

It was Xiangliu.

On the surface, it was the servant girl that Mrs. Xue had chosen for her, but in fact she was Xue Huaidan's servant.

Ye Zhaoyan's face changed slightly.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered the scene of Xiangliu serving her soup in her previous life.

Will there be any problem with this bowl of medicine?Such a thought flashed through Ye Zhaoyan's mind.

She looked up at Xiang Liu who was standing by the bed, and said in a flat and cold voice, "Take out the medicine!"

Xiangliu's body was slightly startled, and a look of fear appeared in her eyes.

She didn't expect that the eldest lady who rarely had contact with her would suddenly become so rude.

She clearly remembered that everyone in the mansion said that the eldest lady was informal and very approachable.

"Miss, the old lady specially ordered her servants to make medicine for you, saying that this is the best medicine for healing and is good for your injuries, please drink the medicine!"

Xiangliu's attitude was very respectful, and there was a hint of pleading in her voice.

Ye Zhaoyan frowned.

"Is this bowl of medicine what the old lady meant?"

Xiang Liu nodded: "Exactly."

Ye Zhaoyan's eyes were full of sarcasm, but his tone was very gentle: "The old lady really bothered."

Xiangliu's eyelids twitched.

"Put down the medicine and ask Ying'er to come in."

"Yes."

Xiang Liu put down the medicine bowl, then turned and exited Ye Zhaoyan's room.

Ye Zhaoyan skillfully poured the medicine into the flower pot.

After a while, Ying'er pushed open the door and came in with some food.

She put the things away, went to Ye Zhaoyan and knelt down, her face full of tears.

"Miss, you are finally back."

There was a hint of doubt in Ye Zhaoyan's eyes.

"Why are you crying?"

Ying'er shook her head, wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, choked up and said, "It's nothing, it's because Ying'er didn't take good care of Missy that she got hurt..."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, and continued to speak: "Miss Ying'er can't repay her kindness, and in her next life, she will definitely repay it by being a cow and a horse!"

Ye Zhaoyan looked at Ying'er who was kneeling in front of him, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Ying'er, what do you mean?"

Ying'er raised her head, glanced at the wound on Ye Zhaoyan's body, gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, Steward Xue said that we didn't take good care of the eldest lady, sent me and Zhuyu to the Sunrise Mansion, and we are not allowed to serve the eldest lady any more."

Ye Zhaoyan's face darkened slightly when he heard these words.

Did they lose their patience so quickly?
Ye Zhaoyan has a total of four maids. Ying'er and Zhuyu were selected from the servants of Ye Mansion in the past. Their personalities are similar, and their relationship with each other is naturally very good.

At this time, Nanny Li walked in quickly, followed by Zhuyu, and the two saluted Ye Zhaoyan.

Zhuyu's eyes were red, and she quickly knelt down beside Ye Zhaoyan.

"Miss Ying'er, the old lady asked you to leave the mansion because you failed to take good care of the miss a few days ago, so naturally you can't stay, so as not to neglect the eldest lady in the future, and there will be trouble again, please forgive me, Miss Ying'er. "

Nanny Li spoke, but her eyes stopped on Ye Zhaoyan.

"Leaving you to serve in the mansion for a day today is for the sake of your hard work in the past. If you don't want to, you can leave now!"

In the past, she would not have dared to be so stubborn.

But in the past two days, she has heard rumors that the eldest lady will leave the mansion soon.

Seeing that the eldest lady has been in a coma for the past few days, Mrs. Xue is very cold, and she doesn't even bother to ask a few words.

She knew it in her heart.

Today, Steward Xue ordered the two maids to be sent away by order. She has more confidence and is not afraid of what Ye Zhaoyan will say.
