At this moment.

Master Ye frowned and strolled over with his hands behind his back.

He had just woken up, and his face still showed a bit of impatience.

"What happened?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an inherent air of authority:

"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket so early in the morning?"

The butler immediately bowed.

He quickly stepped forward, pointed at Su Muyao, and began to complain:

"Sir, you've come at the right time! It's Miss Su who started making a scene at the crack of dawn!"

"She insisted that Biyun was dishonest and had stolen her precious gemstone necklace!"

The butler took a breath, his voice tinged with anger:

"As it turned out, Master Yan had sharp eyes and immediately saw through her. It was she who took advantage of the situation when no one was paying attention."

"You secretly slipped that necklace under Biyun's pillow! This is clearly a frame-up, sir!"

Master Ye's face, which had been relatively calm, was now pale.

It changed color instantly.

He suddenly turned to Su Muyao, his eyes wide as saucers, his beard trembling with anger.

"This is outrageous!"

His angry shout was like a thunderclap from a clear sky:

"Su Muyao, how dare you! You actually dare to do such despicable things in my Ye residence! Frame an innocent person?!"

Su Muyao's face turned pale instantly.

She looked at Master Ye's murderous gaze.

So frightened he was scared out of his wits and his tongue was tied in knots.

"No, Mr. Ye! You...you must let me explain! It's not like that!"

She waved her hands frantically, stammering:

"I didn't...it was Biyun! It must have been Biyun who hid it..."

Her mind was in complete chaos.

Trying to find a reasonable excuse, the more they said, the more outrageous it became.

"I just wanted to test Su Yanning's abilities! Yes! That's it!"

Her eyes lit up, and her voice rose, "Mr. Ye, think about it, everyone says that Su Yanning is a brilliant judge of cases."

"I just wanted to see if it was true! Just...just kidding!"

This explanation is utterly weak and feeble.

Master Ye has been navigating the business world for decades; he's quite shrewd.

He could see right through Su Muyao's guilty conscience and panic.

What, test your skills?

This is clearly nonsense spouted after his malicious intentions have been exposed!

"fart!"

Master Ye was so angry he almost jumped up and down, and he even swore.

His finger trembled as he pointed at Su Muyao. "So, you're trying to prove yourself! Using such despicable methods? You've utterly disgraced your Su family!"

Su Muyao trembled all over from his shout.

Tears welled up instantly; she was truly terrified.

"Mr. Ye... I was wrong... I really know I was wrong..."

With a sob in her voice, she tried to step forward and plead for mercy.

"Too late!"

Master Ye waved his hand fiercely, as if shooing away flies, his voice icy and chilling:

"Guards! Throw these three troublemakers out of here!"

"Immediately! Right now! Don't you dare dirty the grounds of my Ye residence!"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Several servants who had been waiting nearby immediately rushed forward.

Like an eagle catching a chick.

He grabbed Su Muyao, who was still trying to argue.

The others rushed toward Qi Minghao and Feng Jun, who were still looking bewildered as they walked to the gate of the courtyard.

"Hey? What are you doing? Why are you arresting us?"

Qi Minghao's hands were tied behind his back, and he grimaced in pain.

“What does this have to do with us? We just got up!” Feng Jun also struggled and shouted that he was wronged.

The two were still sleepy.

Completely confused, they were roughly dragged out.

He was still shouting defiantly.

Master Ye didn't even bother to look at them again.

His face was ashen, and his chest heaved violently; he was clearly furious.

"Master, calm down, calm down!" The butler quickly stepped forward to soothe him.

The three of them were thus mercilessly thrown out of the Ye residence.

Outside the door.

Feng Jun and Qi Minghao were furious.

They glared at Su Muyao, who had also been pushed out.

"Su Muyao! It's you again!"

Feng Jun pointed at her nose and cursed, "You can't stand not causing trouble every day, can you? You always get caught red-handed, aren't you stupid!"

Qi Minghao also spat, "Exactly! You're just dragging us down! What bad luck!"

After saying that, neither of them looked at her again.

He stormed off in a huff.

Su Muyao fell to the ground in a disheveled state.

Watching the two figures walk away, she felt both ashamed and angry.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, her eyes gleaming with venom.

Su Yanning! You just wait! Next time, I'll make you pay!

...

The courtyard is finally quiet.

With tears in her eyes, Biyun thanked Yan Ning profusely before leaving.

Yan Ning stood alone under the corridor.

Sunlight streamed through the carved window lattice, bathing her in its warmth.

But it couldn't dispel the inexplicable unease in her heart.

"You're not fully recovered yet, and you're already out here upholding justice?"

A deep, pleasant voice sounded from behind.

With a hint of concern that was barely perceptible.

Yan Ning turned around and saw Xie Huaiye.

He stood tall and straight at the intersection of light and shadow.

He looked at her calmly.

Yan Ning forced a slightly weary smile.

"There's no way around it, I'm destined to be a busybody, I can't stay idle."

Xie Huaiye took a few steps closer, his voice tinged with sarcasm:

"Indeed, the renowned Master Yan is naturally very busy."

The way he said it carried a certain special meaning.

Yan Ning's vexation inexplicably dissipated a little.

She looked up at him and asked, half-jokingly:

"I'm feeling bored and want to go out for a walk. Would you do me the honor of accompanying me, sir?"
