step by step

Chapter 93
Mrs. Xue opened her eyes and glanced lazily at Ye Zhaoyan, "Zhaoyan, is your mother still ill?"

She is knowingly asking.

Ye Zhaoyan sneered in his heart, but his face didn't show the slightest clue, "I'm afraid my grandmother knows better than I do! Then Dr. Yuan is a quack doctor, he can't cure my mother, so please ask my grandmother to hire another doctor!"

Mrs. Xue seemed to have expected Ye Zhaoyan's reaction in this way, and she was not angry.

Xue Youling fanned the flames from the side, "Sister Zhaoyan, Dr. Yuan was hired by the Xue family himself, and the medicinal materials used were all provided by the Ye family, how dare he neglect auntie."

She yelled "Auntie" one after another very smoothly, and Ye Zhaoyan felt even more disgusted when he heard it.

"How can grandma want someone to treat my mother?" Ye Zhaoyan suppressed the anger churning in his chest, and got straight to the point.

"If you are obedient and make grandma feel at ease, these things are easy to say."

Mrs. Xue spoke in a leisurely manner.

She knew that with Ye Zhaoyan's temper, she would definitely not give in easily, but this time, she was not afraid that Ye Fugui's life would be threatened.

Sure enough, upon hearing Mrs. Xue's words, Ye Zhaoyan took a few steps forward.

"Oh?" Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Mrs. Xue with a half-smile, "Grandmother means that if Zhaoyan doesn't agree to grandmother's conditions, mother's illness will not be cured?"

"Zhaoyan is a smart boy." Mrs. Xue smiled slightly, "Zhiyan, bring the things up!"

Xue Zhiyan came in response.

She was holding a tray in her hand, containing a delicate red dress and a set of jewelry.

Xue Youling picked it up and shook it open gently, it turned out to be a wedding dress.

This wedding dress is very gorgeous, embroidered with phoenix spreading its wings, colorful butterflies playing flowers, and lifelike phoenix tail and butterfly wings.The hem is made of delicate and complicated floral yarns, which are stacked layer by layer, which looks very festive and looks extraordinarily beautiful.

Ye Zhaoyan's eyes were piercing, staring at the wedding dress in her hand, and his voice was cold, "What does grandma mean?"

Xue Youling smiled coquettishly, and said: "Sister Zhaoyan, these are the clothes my grandmother ordered someone to prepare for you, and this set of red coral jewelry is also what my grandmother meant."

"Zhaoyan, you are about to become the mistress of the Ji family, so you can't still wear plain dresses, right? It's time for you to put on your wedding dress. It's too early for your father to come back, and grandma loves you for staying in the empty boudoir every day. Si Nian can't meet each other, so tonight I will arrange for you two to catch up with each other."

Mrs. Xue's words reached Ye Zhaoyan's ears word by word, and she felt as if her whole heart was immersed in an ice cave, which was bone-chillingly cold.

She looked at Mrs. Xue, and saw that Mrs. Xue had a kind face, with a gentle smile all over her face, as if she was saying something very good.

Is this to let her serve Ji Sinian like a housemaid?

Among the high-ranking families in Jindu, even the stepmother could not do such a despicable thing to the concubine daughter.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at Mrs. Xue, his eyes were like sharp swords, "Grandmother, your heart is clear. However, Zhaoyan does not intend to reminisce with Ji Sinian."

"If younger sister Zhaoyan refuses, wouldn't it be against my grandmother's wishes?"

Xue Zhiyan glanced at Ye Zhaoyan, her eyes flickered, and she secretly cursed in her heart, this bitch really doesn't know what's good or bad.

She wanted to see if Mrs. Xue really allowed Ye Fugui to die of illness, would Ye Zhaoyan be as calm as before!

The smile on Mrs. Xue's face gradually subsided, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she scolded in a stern voice: "So you plan to elope with other foreigners?!"

Alien?elopement?
A bad premonition rose in Ye Zhaoyan's heart.

She said calmly, "Grandmother, Zhaoyan doesn't understand what you mean."

"You don't understand?" Madam Xue sneered, "Lian Shuang, tell me!"

Hearing this, Lian Shuang quickly knelt on the ground and told Mrs. Xue exactly what she saw in Ye Fugui's yard yesterday morning.

It's just that she was far away after all, and couldn't hear what the two were talking about, but she remembered that the two were very familiar with each other, probably because they had a long friendship.

This person was identified by Xue as the person who wanted to elope with Ye Zhaoyan.

The blood on Ye Zhaoyan's face faded, and his pupils shrank violently.

It turned out that Mrs. Xue sent such an unremarkable maid to spy on her mother's yard secretly.

"How is it? Zhaoyan, do you have nothing to say?" Mrs. Xue stared at Ye Zhaoyan sharply, "If grandma didn't wrong you, you should know what to do!"

She naturally knew that this arrangement was unreasonable and would not be on the table, but once Ye Zhaoyan married to Jiangnan, things would gradually subside.

What's more, the man in black is very skilled, he can come and go freely in the backyard of Ye Mansion, which makes her afraid.

If he and Ye Zhaoyan really exchanged secrets, or even had a secret relationship with Ye Zhaoyan, wouldn't there be endless troubles?
In order to prevent this, she had to take precautions and resort to some extraordinary means.

Ye Zhaoyan pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Mrs. Xue saw that she did not let go, and there was a hint of meanness in her eyes, "If you don't agree, grandma will treat you as if you never came! Yuliu, put away the medicine! Without my order, no one is allowed to let outside doctors in!"

The nanny beside her hastily removed the medicine pot from the stove.

Ye Zhaoyan stepped forward to stop her.

Mrs. Xue stood up and met Ye Zhaoyan's gaze with a calm demeanor.

"Zhaoyan, I only give you a stick of incense time to think about it, you have to think about it, this shop will disappear after passing this village!"

Old Mrs. Xue asked Mammy to put down the medicine jar while talking, "This medicine can provide temporary relief. If you agree, I will send it back to the yard immediately."

Ye Zhaoyan looked gloomy at the soup in Madam Xue's hand, and all sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Nanny Yin's words "hurt the root" echoed in her mind repeatedly.

Seeing that she was loosening a bit, Madam Xue took a sip of the medicine juice with a spoon. The medicine was so bitter that she frowned, "Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with the medicine this time!"

Ye Zhaoyan looked down at the concoction stained on the spoon, and there was a crack in his heart.

At least she has to overcome the current difficulties. As for Ji Sinian, she had several thoughts in her mind.

Maybe start there.

"If you agree, after tonight, I will give you the medicine to get rid of the cold poison, and I will guarantee that your mother's medicine will be cured!" Seeing that Ye Zhaoyan didn't stop her, Mrs. Xue continued to add fuel and vinegar, "Zhaoyan, grandmother is right. You have worked so hard, why are you so stubborn?"

She knew that she had grasped Ye Zhaoyan, so she was not in a hurry.

Ye Zhaoyan's eyes sharpened suddenly, "Grandma, don't you feel guilty for doing this?"

Mrs. Xue's face froze when she heard the words, and then she returned to normal. She glanced at her indifferently, "Grandmother is just doing her duty!"

It is her mission and her honor to protect the interests of the Xue family and ensure the longevity of the Xue family!
