Chapter 6 Lost and Found
Ye Zhaoyan played a trick and asked Ying'er to draw up the thick curtain and use her hands to let Dr. Zhang take his pulse.
She didn't expect that she would have to consult a doctor so soon, and it was Dr. Zhang who was outside the mansion.
Doctor Zhang rarely appeared in her previous life, and she was not sure whether he had any connection with Xue Huaidan.
In the past two days, in order to have the energy to deal with the problem at hand, she had not touched Xue Huaidan's things.
She disposed of the food quietly.
But every time Ying'er brought medicine and food, she had to take a bite.
In order not to alarm others, Ye Zhaoyan did not refuse the soup. Naturally, Ying'er, who was responsible for handing over the soup, had to check and taste it in person.
These tiny doses will not cause Ying'er to suffer from physical illness. At most, she will be able to doze off for half an hour at noon.
Ying'er, who takes a small amount of medicine, is the best person to handle the pulse.
Ye Fugui was worried at first, but he was relieved when Doctor Zhang came out and said he was fine.
"From now on, you can no longer put anything at your entrance at will." She said worriedly.
The scene at tonight's banquet made her feel worried.
However, Ye Zhaoyan looked like he was guaranteeing that the matter would be fine, which made her a little unsure of her guess.
After thinking for a moment, she turned around and told Xiyun beside her: "Take the lady's personal maid and teach her a lesson."
Ye Zhaoyan looked at his mother busy, feeling sad and happy at the same time, and let her take care of things.
Late at night, Ye Fugui finally followed Ye Zhaoyan's wishes and went out.
Ye Fugui left, and Ye Zhaoyan began to think about everything tonight.
She turned her head to look at the bottle of Kangtai wine and the neat sapphire cups and saucers beside it, and fell into deep thought.
I'm afraid Xue Huaidan is already dissatisfied with her secret resistance.
In the past, her daughter was too obedient and could be controlled firmly without him spending much effort.
The reason for this is naturally the lack of defense.
After more than ten years of peace and security, who would have thought that his biological father would attack his wife and daughter.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhaoyan's expression became solemn.
Sooner or later, there will be tit-for-tat confrontation, and it is inevitable that the father and daughter will quarrel with each other.
She had to prepare for that matter in advance.
In the middle of the night, Ye Fuguihe and two maids entered Xue Huaidan's study.
The candlelight was brightly lit in the study, and Xue Huaitan was sitting upright behind the desk, looking down at the documents in his hands with a stern look on his face.
Mrs. Qin stood in front of the desk with a box of snacks and whispered: "Dan'er, just listen to your aunt and use some food."
Seeing Ye Fugui coming, Xue Huaidan raised his head and asked, "Madam, why are you here?"
"Fu Gui, please advise Dan'er quickly. He is not thinking about food and tea because of Zhaoyan's affairs." Mrs. Qin said hurriedly.
"That's what I'm here for today."
The look on Ye Fugui's face was sad and a little aggrieved.
The maid behind her was wearing a blue floral cloth, dressed normally, not the usual big maids.
The two maids looked heavy, as if they were holding back something to say.
Xue Huaidan said bluntly: "But have you checked Zhaoyan's soup today?"
"Sir, I've already checked it." A maid replied respectfully.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"Sir, there's nothing wrong with that." The maid replied, "It's just..."
Xue Huaidan's face darkened when he heard this, and a deeper black color brewed in his eyes.
"Just what?" Mrs. Qin asked with a frown, as if she was afraid that the maid might spill the beans.
"It's just..." The maid hesitated, but stopped talking.
Seeing this, Ye Fugui felt a little anxious, complaining that the girl in the kitchen was so timid.
At this time, Xue Huaidan spoke slowly, with a cold tone, "Speak directly if you have something to say, no need to hide it."
"Yes, sir! The slaves discovered that the set of cups used by the eldest lady disappeared together with the Kangtai wine after the banquet." Another maid finally couldn't help but tell her what she discovered at that time.
"Bastard!" Xue Huaidan was furious when he heard this. He slapped the desk hard, causing the rice paper on the desk to fall to the ground. "The matter has not yet been investigated, and you actually lost the evidence?"
"Master, have mercy on me! Master, have mercy on me!" The two maids quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
They were just following orders. They were busy in the kitchen, but as soon as the dinner was over, they went to help clear the dishes without losing a moment.
Who knew what happened to the eldest lady?
It was already dark, so the lady ordered the butler to conduct a thorough inspection of everything used tonight.
Unexpectedly, I discovered that a set of cups and saucers was missing.
It was exactly the way the eldest lady used to drink Kangtai wine that night.
"If this matter spreads out, how will the Ye family lose face?" Xue Huaidan asked angrily, with a threat in his tone.
If the physical evidence falls into the hands of others, there will be endless hidden dangers, and there is no guarantee that some clues will not be discovered one day.
Even though he did many things in the name of Mrs. Xue in order to keep his hands clean, apparently he had never touched them with his own hands.
But there is no leaky wall in the world.
"Master, please calm down! Master, please calm down!" The two maids kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Come here! Give me twenty lashes, lock me in a dark room, and no one is allowed to visit!" Xue Huaidan shouted sternly.
"Yes!" the guard at the study door responded, rushed into the room and pulled the two maids out.
The two maids struggled desperately and cried: "Master, I don't want it, I don't want it, please be lenient...please...please spare the slaves..."
The cries of the two maids were gradually drowned in the sound of whipping.
Twenty lashes, if you are lucky, you still have half your life. However, Mrs. Qin knew that Xue Huaidan in front of her was obviously trying to kill him, and the guards' twenty lashes would never let the two maids survive easily.
She couldn't help but feel a chill running down her spine, and stepped forward to comfort her: "Dan'er, calm down and don't get angry. You can't blame these two girls for this matter."
Xue Huaidan glared at her angrily, his eyes like arrows, as if he wanted to pierce Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin shivered in fright and moved her body back to avoid his sight.
Ye Fugui could only see Xue Huaidan's back and was unaware of his terrifying expression at this moment.
She rarely saw Xue Huaidan lose his composure, and some of the grievances she felt dissipated with Xue Huaidan's rage.
He still cared about his daughter, but... Ye Fugui suppressed the weirdness in his heart.
But I saw that Xue Huaidan had sorted out his emotions and returned to his usual gentleness.
"Madam, if these two maids dare to be negligent, they must be prepared to be punished. I don't want this to happen again." He said, looking at Ye Fugui who was standing aside, with deep worry in his eyes.
and caring.
"Husband, it's also for the sake of publicity." Ye Fugui forced a smile, but he still hadn't recovered from the scene just now.
"There have been frequent strange things happening in the mansion recently, and Zhaoyan has also been affected. I think it would be better for Mrs. Qin to take Zhaoyan to Xunyin Temple to pray for blessings."
His tone was calm, but he revealed an irresistible majesty.
Mrs. Qin on the side felt a chill running down her spine and responded quickly: "I have had this intention for a long time. Zhaoyan has been seriously ill a few days ago, so it's time to seek the blessings of Bodhisattva."
Mrs. Qin is indeed somewhat famous in Buddhism.
When she was a young woman, she was recognized by the old lady in the palace and was given a jade as she wished because of a set of blessing rituals that she followed smoothly.
From then on, Mrs. Qin's reputation as a devoted worshiper of Buddha became known.
"That's fine." Thinking of Mrs. Qin's daily devout worship, Ye Fugui nodded, "Now that Mrs. Qin is here, I can take Zhaoyan to the Yinsi Temple to seek peace and quiet, which can be regarded as eliminating Zhaoyan's worries."
Mrs. Qin responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, this is Zhaoyan's blessing."
