"Seven, you haven't seen your mother in a long time, have you? Come out quickly!" Xiao Bao called out to the door.
A moment later, a snow-white wolf leaped out from behind a big tree and headed straight for Ye Qingxue.
Ye Qingxue instinctively reached out and caught Qi Zai's two front paws. Qi Zai wagged its tail in front of her, showing its affection, and even rubbed its head against Ye Qingxue's arm to express its longing.
Seven was a wolf cub that Ye Qingxue picked up from the mountain two years ago. She fed it meat and trained it. The wolf cub grew up very well, was very obedient and capable, and had its own advantages in terms of fighting strength compared to Dongbai.
However, when the people from the Marquis's manor went to the estate to pick her up, they said that if Qizai followed them into the Marquis's manor, he would frighten the women and children of the manor. After all, no matter how obedient Qizai was, he was still a wolf, and it would be terrible if he hurt someone.
Ye Qingxue didn't want to disappoint her relatives in the capital, and also thought that Qizai was indeed naughty and had amazing destructive power. In addition, the manor was more suitable for Qizai to run wild, so she reluctantly left Qizai in the manor to be taken care of by Granny Xing.
Seven is very protective of its owner. Even the people who work on the estate year-round can hardly get close to it, and are even afraid of it, let alone strangers.
Xiao Bao is a complete stranger to Qi Zai, so why is Qi Zai here with Xiao Bao and listens to him so much?
Ye Qingxue asked Qi Zai, "Weren't you in the manor? How did you find your way here?"
Seven was just a wolf, so naturally it couldn't answer Ye Qingxue's question. It continued to rub against Ye Qingxue's arm and even pulled out a paw to touch Xiao Bao.
The meaning is clear: Xiao Bao brought me here!
Xiao Bao was very proud: "I went to find it and said I would bring it with me. It was very happy, circled around me a few times, and then came with me."
Ye Qingxue smiled quietly at Xiao Bao, a cold smile that clearly showed she didn't believe what Xiao Bao said.
Qi Zai was wild. She had a fight with Qi Zai before. Qi Zai lost and was not convinced. It wanted to pounce on her again. Ye Qingxue knocked it down and starved it for a few days. When it was in despair, she gave it meat to eat. Only then was it willing to follow Ye Qingxue.
Xiao Bao just said she was bringing Qi Zai to see her, and Qi Zai obediently came? Sure enough, a five-year-old's lies can only fool a three-year-old.
Xiao Bao struggled free from Dong Bai's grasp and stepped forward to hold Qi Zai's paw: "Qi Zai, tell your mother, am I telling the truth?"
With tears in his eyes, Qi Zai looked at Ye Qingxue and nodded painfully.
"Very good," Ye Qingxue thought to herself. The wolf cub she raised was actually threatened by a five-year-old child. What kind of ability did this child have to make the fearless Qi Zai obediently listen to him?
"Young lady, you've returned home. Your family was very worried about you. It's good that you're back." Granny Hu walked over from a distance, her attention entirely on Ye Qingxue, and smiled broadly.
Upon closer inspection, Ye Qingxue discovered a pure white wolf standing in front of her. Startled, she trembled, her smile freezing on her face, and she almost forgot what she was about to say.
Those who went to fetch Ye Qingxue earlier said that Ye Qingxue kept a wolf by her side, which was very frightening, but they stopped Ye Qingxue from bringing it back to the Marquis's mansion.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qingxue had just broken ties with the Marquis's mansion yesterday, and today she brought this terrifying fellow back.
If I had known this would happen, I should have brought Ye Qingxue back and then immediately sent someone to kill the wolf, so that it wouldn't have become an ally of Ye Qingxue.
I really regret it now!
Fortunately, Madam Min was prepared.
Hu Mama pulled Han Yu in front of her to shield her before continuing, "Young Miss, you may not know this, but you didn't come home all night, and the First Madam was so worried that she fell ill. Now that you're home, go and visit the First Madam so she can be at ease."
Did her mother fall ill because of her?
Ye Qingxue thought of how her mother had whipped her seventeen times, which was completely aimed at killing her. Now, she felt it was ridiculous that her mother said she had fallen ill because of her.
Granny Hu turned around and said to the crowd watching the commotion outside the door, "Everyone, stop watching. Since our eldest daughter is still willing to come home, she will always be a member of our Marquis Zhongyong's family."
“She used to live in the countryside and no one disciplined her, which led her to make a big mistake. But now it’s different. Now that she’s back home, her elders will teach her.”
"Who doesn't make a few silly mistakes when they're young? Our eldest daughter is still young, she's just making a few silly mistakes, I hope everyone can understand, let's all go home now!"
Hu Mama smiled, her voice clear and bright, but it was full of scheming. She even placed her hand on the door and gently pushed it forward.
Upon seeing this, the gatekeeper quickly stepped forward and slammed the gate shut, completely cutting off the public's view.
—How did Ye Qingxue die in the mansion, and who could have seen it?
All the people could see was that Ye Qingxue had committed such a serious mistake, yet even after returning to the manor, she was not turned away at the door, and the matrons in the manor even spoke up for her.
Granny Hu pushed Han Yu in front of Ye Qingxue. She hid behind Han Yu, revealing half of her body, and smiled at Ye Qingxue:
“Young lady, please come in. The Madam is waiting for you inside. It is immature of you to meet with a man outside all night, but the Madam is ill because of you. If you do not go to see her, it would be unfilial.”
Ye Qingxue looked at Granny Hu and met her gaze. She could clearly sense that Granny Hu's words were both a threat and a form of coercion.
She had already done something like "secretly meeting with another man all night," yet the Marquis's mansion still wanted her to voluntarily break off the engagement. They really didn't want to be tainted by any stain on her reputation. They wanted to steal her fiancé, yet they wanted her to bear all the mud and infamy alone.
As expected of a Marquis's residence!
However, Ye Qingxue was not surprised. After all, this was the Marquis's mansion under the control of Madam Min. She had given them leverage, so of course they would use it.
