C173 (2/2)

His tone was naturally not humble enough.

Other than the butler, everyone had the same attitude.

Lady Xie couldn't stop herself from struggling. Seeing that her strength had been drained, she said anxiously, ”What happened? I've been in the East District for so long, why did the old master suddenly want to see me today?”

The butler did not talk to her for long. He immediately called for someone to take her outside and tied up her maid, Huaiyu, with him.

”Madam will know once she goes.”

In less than an hour, Ye Chong felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

When Lady Xie was dragged in, her hair tied up in a bun as she struggled, she stumbled and fell onto the ground. She immediately changed her face and lowered her head to sob.

”Master... What are you doing? ” asked Xie Shi as she scanned the yard out of the corner of her eye. When his gaze landed on the Elder and Lady Wang, his face turned pale. Then, his gaze landed on Ye Jinsu who was standing in the corner. His face turned pale and black. He couldn't help but exude a bit of hatred from his eyes.

With just a glance, she could tell what had happened.

Grand Master Xie was so frightened by Lady Xie's glare that he started sweating profusely. Without caring about anything else, he cried out loudly, ”It was Madam! It was Madam who did it! This humble one has always been working for Madam. ”

Now that things had come to this, he couldn't turn back anymore. He could only desperately push the Xie Clan.

Perhaps the Xie Clan hated him as well, so they might as well push her down now.

After thinking this through, Master called her 'even more diligently than Lady Wang', knocking her head a few times on the ground. ”This servant has listened to Madam's commands, this isn't your fault!”

Madame Xie's face was pale as she lowered her head to look in Ye Jinsu's direction. Ye Jinsu didn't look at her, but lowered her head to drink her tea, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

At this moment, she wasn't clear about the situation. She wanted to see something on Ye Jinsu's face, but he was expressionless and couldn't see anything!

He looked at Ye Zhenzheng as if he had lost his soul, only to see that when Lady Xie cried, her eyes were still filled with heartache, and she even wanted to stand up and help her. In the end, the Old Master's gaze fixed him on the spot, not daring to move.

Xie knew that Ye Zheng still had her in his heart.

Wiping away her tears, Madam Xie spoke up sorrowfully, ”Old master, what mistake have I committed that you would treat me like this?”

Ye Zheng opened his mouth and wanted to ask her something, but no words came out in the end.

Now that the Xie Clan was crying in front of him, that part of his heart was still moved.

The Old Master looked at the Xie family gloomily and slammed his hand on the table. The shock made the Xie family tremble, not daring to look at him directly.

”Grand Master said that he had bestowed so much silver to you all these years. Do you admit it?”

Lady Xie was so frightened that she didn't dare raise her head. She could only shake her head. ”No!” How could it be a wife! ”It's not me!”

How could he admit it now? Admitting it meant walking into a dead end. Mrs Xie could only keep denying it as she lowered her head, desperately trying to think of a way to deal with it.

Now that things had progressed to this point, while things were still going well, only Ye Jinru could save her.

She was the Ye Family's blood and bone, and even the Old Master would care about this. Moreover, Ye Zhenzheng liked his daughter the most. Only she could save him.

Lady Xie seemed to be a little more at ease as she turned to look at the Grand Master, asking mournfully, ”Why are you slandering me like that? All these years, I've been in charge of matters within the estate, but I've never told you to do anything that would let the Grand Master down!”

The sound was heart-wrenching.

Grand Master Xie was flustered. He acted as if he really had been wronged. He was even more worried about his own situation. He was so nervous that he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the Old Master.

The Old Master sat high up in his seat, the majesty in his eyes still present. He coldly snorted, ”You said you didn't, then look at what all this is!”
