Xie Jinyao was furious.
Back in her room, she sent her trusted confidante to the estate to visit Lady Hou, mainly to inform her of what had happened at the manor.
She needs her mother's advice.
When Marquis Zhongyong learned of this, he did not stop it.
He had just received the news that Lady Liu had knelt all night and fallen ill.
It's good to let Jinyao know about her current situation so that she can learn from it and be more mindful of herself.
Do not repeat the mistakes of her mother.
He also wanted to see his daughter being filial to her elders.
Do you think Ye Zhen knows martial arts?
After venting her anger, Xie Jinyao remembered her purpose in seeking out Ye Zhen and asked her trusted maid.
The maid replied, "It doesn't seem like it to me."
She was following the young lady and kept an eye on Ye Zhen.
"It's all that lackey's fault."
Thinking of Xing Ze, Xie Jinyao's anger flared up again.
If this attempt fails, it won't be so easy to find opportunities in the future.
Her father had already begun to favor Ye Zhen, and she couldn't afford to anger him any further; otherwise, Ye Zhen would gain even more power.
That would make it even harder for the mother to come back.
The maid suggested, "Miss, why don't you let the Ye family deal with her?"
Xie Jinyao's eyes lit up.
She knew that the Ye family was involved in her mother's scheme against Ye Zhen.
Although she didn't know why the Ye family was targeting their only remaining daughter.
But since they've taken action, they certainly don't want to see Ye Zhen return to the capital unharmed.
The Ye family is Ye Zhen's maternal family, so it's much easier for them to deal with Ye Zhen than for her. The issue of filial piety alone is enough to overwhelm Ye Zhen.
Even if outsiders found out, most would suspect that Ye Zhen was wrong and that's why he was punished by his parents.
Thinking of this, she quickly beckoned to her maid and whispered instructions.
At the same time, Ye Zhen was also thinking about a question.
She had lived in the manor for over a decade. Although the Ye family didn't care about her, they also didn't send anyone to harm her.
Why did they help Lady Hou attack her this time?
What benefits did the Lady of the Marquis give them?
Or did something unexpected happen that made the Ye family no longer dare to keep her?
Or perhaps she did something that angered the Ye family?
Ye Zhen ruled out the latter. After returning to the capital, although he saw through the pretense of his parents, he still thought they were his real parents.
No child doesn't crave family affection.
She was no exception.
Therefore, knowing that the Ye family wanted to curry favor with the Marquis's mansion, she tried her best to be patient and low-key even though she was unhappy in the Marquis's mansion, so as not to implicate the Ye family and never cause them any trouble.
Ye Zhen pondered for a long time, but still had no clue.
"Has the letter to Yinyue been sent out?"
If you can't figure it out, then look it up.
But right now, she only has Wanxing under her command, so it's really inconvenient for her to do anything practical.
She trained some people outside, and Yin Yue has been managing them for her all these years.
In her past life, upon learning of her accident, Yin Yue led a group of people to the capital, only to find her being escorted out of the capital by the Marquis's mansion. Along the way, people surrounded her, hurling insults and throwing rotten vegetables and stones at her.
Yin Yue and the others couldn't bear to see her suffer such injustice, and intended to save her.
At that time, the people were misled by Lady Hou and Ye Wantang, believing that she was utterly wicked, and thus they took their anger out on Yin Yue and others.
Yin Yue and her group couldn't bear to kill the common people, so they were eventually captured by Ye Wantang's men and sent to the Ye family, where none of them met a good end.
This is also one of the reasons why she called the people to her side in advance. In this life, they, as mistress and servant, need to communicate in advance to prevent any accidents from happening to them again.
Unaware of Ye Zhen's inner pain, Wan Xing nodded hastily.
She never dared to slack off when it came to matters concerning Miss.
Thinking about what had happened today, she suddenly asked, "Is Miss going to cooperate with the Prince?"
Ye Zhen didn't hide it from her, "He holds a high position in the household and can help us."
As for the fact that the person behind the mask was not the heir of the Marquis of Zhongyong, Ye Zhen did not want Wanxing to know.
Sometimes, the more you know, the more dangerous it is.
Wanxing was thinking that Xing Ze seemed quite capable, and the young master valued him highly.
if……
She meant, if she won Xing Ze's heart, would Xing Ze then encourage the young master to help the young lady more?
Often, a confidant has a significant influence on their master.
Just as the young lady always treated her like a younger sister and never truly regarded her as a maid, she observed that the young master seemed to treat Xing Ze quite well as well.
Having served by her mistress's side for many years, even if her mistress hadn't explicitly said so, she could guess that the Ye family was behind this.
In the past three years, the young lady has never shown her skills in public. Why would the Lady of the Marquis need to use muscle-weakening powder to deal with a weak woman? Ordinary sleeping pills would have been enough.
When Miss first returned to the capital, Madam Ye accidentally sprained her ankle. Miss, worried, carried her all the way back to her room for medical treatment, revealing her strength.
The scar on the young lady's shoulder was known only to her, Yinyue, and Madam Ye in the capital...
There were too many bad people, and she was afraid that the young lady wouldn't be able to handle it alone and would get hurt again.
Her mission was to protect the young lady, but her abilities were limited, so she had to seek outside help for her.
Master said that no matter what kind of move it is, if it works, it's a good move.
Ye Zhen was unaware that her maid had such thoughts; if she had known, she would have stopped her.
She went to Xie Tingzhou's Moyuan after nightfall.
"Please draw his appearance, brother."
Ye Zhen said to Xie Tingzhou.
Her deal with him this time was that he would help her deal with Xie Jinyao, and she would make him a lifelike human skin mask.
This painting naturally depicts the true heir of the Loyal and Brave Marquis.
Xie Tingzhou nodded.
After an incense stick had burned, the portrait was handed to Ye Zhen.
The man in the painting bears a resemblance to the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor, both possessing a resolute appearance. However, he has a beauty mark under his right eye, which softens his resolute features.
Beneath the beauty mark were mottled, crisscrossing scars, which appeared to be burns.
Next to the portrait is another small portrait, depicting the right profile.
