Ye Cunjin said happily, "I was just about to come and talk to you about this. There's been some progress. My men have sent word that the acacia seeds have entered the capital. I'll definitely find them for you within three days, brother!"

Ye Yabing was overjoyed: "Really? Big brother didn't lie to me?"

It is said that Xiangsi Zi has no fixed abode. He basically goes wherever he goes to treat patients. People only know his name but never see him. It is very difficult to find him and it depends entirely on luck.

"Why would your brother lie to you? Is your face badly injured?" Ye Cunjin said, and was about to lift Ye Yabing's veil.

Since Ye Yabing's accident, he has never seen the injuries on her face and cannot imagine how serious they are.

But Ye Yabing dodged his hand in time, somewhat angry: "Is Big Brother trying to mock me? Since I can become the Princess Consort, my face can be restored to its original state. Big Brother should be hoping for my recovery. Only when I recover can Big Brother's status rise accordingly."

Ye Cunjin was taught by Madam Min from a young age that he should be more tolerant and generous towards his younger sister. Moreover, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what conflict occurred between him and Ye Yabing, Madam Min always required him to give in to Ye Yabing and apologize to her.

Ye Cunjin was already used to this way of getting along between the two, so he wasn't angry at the moment and apologized directly: "Big brother didn't mean to laugh at you, he was just concerned about your injury. Big brother will apologize to you right away."

Ye Cunjin is now the pillar of the Marquis's mansion and the hope for its future. Ye Yabing is not really angry with him; she is just nervous and flustered because it involves her face.

After Ye Cunjin apologized, she also apologized for her attitude, and the two siblings reconciled with a smile.

When they parted, Ye Cunjin made a special promise to her: "Just wait for my good news. I will definitely find the love-sick seeds for you so that you can be a beautiful bride and marry into the Prince Ding's mansion!"

Ye Yabing was in a bad mood, so she just hummed in agreement and left.

On the way back, she was still preoccupied with worries: Since Xiangsi Zi is a divine physician, shouldn't she have the ability to change faces? Otherwise, how can she be called a divine physician?

Ye Cunjin then turned to find Madam Min.

After dismissing everyone, Ye Cunjin said, "Mother, we have news of the acacia seed. We will be able to bring it to my second sister to treat her injuries soon."

Upon hearing this, Madam Min exclaimed, "Excellent! Excellent!"

This is the best news in two days. It is said that the acacia seed has the power to bring the dead back to life and will definitely be able to cure Ye Yabing's face.

Ye Cunjin added, "Mother, there's more good news. When I sent people to search for Xiangsi Zi, I discovered that Qiu Shen, who was by Ye Qingxue's side, was also looking for him!"

Madam Min was taken aback upon hearing this, but immediately realized: "That's right, Ye Qingxue is poisoned and can't get the antidote from us, so the people around her will definitely try to find the Acacia Seed!"

But what kind of good news is that?

Madam Min said coldly, "Since only Qiu Shen is outside, find someone to kill her so that Ye Qingxue will never find Xiang Si Zi."

Ye Cunjin smiled and said, "Mother, you are mistaken. I have informed Prince Ding about this matter. His Highness believes that we should not only not kill Qiu Shen, but also help Qiu Shen find the Acacia Seed and have Qiu Shen bring the Acacia Seed to Ye Qingxue."

He leaned closer and whispered the whole plan in Madam Min's ear: "This matter still requires Mother's full cooperation to prevent Ye Qingxue from discovering anything amiss!"

Madam Min narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing within them: "Fine, I'll go find my sister-in-law right now. This time, I won't let her escape alive again!"

.

At noon, Ye Qingxue was sitting in the front hall, looking at the list of family guards. This list was forcibly taken from Madam Zhou's room by Dong Bai last night.

Just as she was engrossed in watching, Xia Lu stepped forward and said, "Madam is here, Miss."

Xiao Bao stopped running in the yard, and Qi Zai almost bumped into him, so he stopped abruptly.

Madam Zhou did not come alone; she was followed by Granny Kang and two maids.

Ye Qingxue watched them cross the courtyard, step over the threshold, and enter the main hall without saying a word.

When Madam Zhou entered, she had a smile on her face, but perhaps the whole Guanju Courtyard was too indifferent, and no one took the initiative to greet her. Her expression showed a bit of embarrassment, and when she walked to the middle of the main hall, she felt a little awkward, not knowing whether to stand or sit.

Ye Qingxue merely glanced at her indifferently before continuing to study the people on the list.

The number of people is small, and the information provided by Madam Zhou is very limited; one cannot learn much from this list alone.

She had initially wanted to find these people to find out whether they, as her father's subordinates, had truly lived a good life after his death. If not, she was determined to take them with her to seek justice from Madam Min!

But now, she hopes to use these people to find out the truth about her father's death and bring Madam Min down completely.

She could kill Madam Min directly, but what about Dongbai and the others? What about those people on the estate who watched her grow up? Would they all have to pay with their lives for her hatred?

"Qingxue..." After an unknown amount of time, Madam Zhou finally spoke.

Ye Qingxue was engrossed in her thoughts when she was suddenly interrupted. Annoyed, she said in an unhappy voice, "Speak!"

Madam Zhou was stunned for a moment, her eyes instantly reddening, and she said with a sob in her voice, "Regarding your matter with Pan Heng, I misunderstood you before, and I have come here specifically to apologize to you."

Ye Qingxue looked at her in surprise, and indeed did not expect that Madam Zhou had come to apologize!

Madam Zhou walked forward with a limp body, seemingly wanting to take her hand, but perhaps because her eyes were too cold, Madam Zhou suddenly stopped in front of her.

"When we forced you to go to the Prince Ding's mansion to break off the engagement, not only did your mother misunderstand you, but everyone in the Marquis's mansion also misunderstood you! We just didn't expect that you would be a great hero like your father, doing things that would benefit the Great Zhou..."
