C173 (1/2)

After Old Lady Wang had finished shaking, she timidly crawled to the side of the Grand Master with a panicked look in her eyes.

The Ontario mothers had told them that they would only have a chance to escape if they brought the matter to the attention of the Missus. Grand Master knew that Ye Jinsu was after the Xie Clan, but they didn't want to be implicated!

The ones before, the checks and pleas for his sake, the ones that made Ontario help him get out of here, they were all there to get him on this road.

These two were not people he could afford to offend, and neither of them would benefit him. If the Xie Clan really fell, how could Ye Jinsu let him off? If the Xie Clan hadn't toppled over, would they have let her off?

Even if these two lords were both severely injured, how could the lord let him go?

No matter which way it was, it was a dead end.

The Grand Master was drenched in cold sweat, his fists clenched as he pounded the ground in a regretful and pained manner. Now, he didn't know if he should regret underestimating this young miss, or if he should regret working for the Xie Clan over ten years ago.

He only knew that he was on the verge of death.

He had nowhere to go.

Ye Jinsu raised her eyes and looked at him for a moment before turning away. He happened to see the old man looking at him as he scanned the old man's and Ye Zhenzheng's colourful faces. As their gazes met, a wave of pressure came crashing over. Ye Jinxiu lowered her eyes and silently looked away.

It did not collide with his line of sight.

Ye Jinxiu only glanced at him indifferently before regaining her composure and looking at Wen Liang's harmless appearance.

In the east garden.

The Xie family had been extremely restless the past few days.

She knew that Ye Jin would definitely not let her off, and she was also planning on how to deal with Ye Jinsu. He didn't expect Ye Jinsu to move so quickly, so quickly that she didn't even have the chance to move before he was forced onto the cliff.

Even the people guarding the gate to the east garden had been bribed by her.

Mrs Xie gritted her teeth. Had Ye Jinsu already won over so many people in the few months she was away?

This girl was getting harder and harder to deal with.

She knew very little information. It was all about the rumors outside. She heard that the Grand Master had been greedy for a lot of money and had been locked up by Ye Shou. No one knew better than she who had put so much money into the pockets of the Grand Master.

She knew exactly what Ye Jinsu wanted to do.

If the worst came to the worst and even the Grand Master was bribed by her, it was hard to say whether or not he would be exposed.

And now, she couldn't even find a way to send a message, let alone tell others.

Another day passed.

The gate to the east garden was suddenly opened. The housekeeper stood at the doorway with a solemn expression, but he was somewhat staggering as he walked. The plates from a few days ago still hurt.

Straightening his expression, the butler turned to Madam Xie and said, ”Master invites Madam back to the estate.”

Behind him were more than ten servants, some of them even had ropes in their hands.

How was this an invitation?

As soon as the steward finished speaking, those people were about to grab Madam Xie and lead her outside. Mrs Xie struggled for a bit, but someone actually dragged the rope over.

The alarm in Madame Xie's heart exploded as her eyes widened. ”What are you all doing!?”

The butler shot her a nonchalant glance. He was ordered by the Old Master, so naturally he had a stiff waist. In addition, with the current situation, the Xie Clan could easily escape from death and no one would be able to escape. Their prestige would definitely be gone, and there was nothing for him to fear.
