Watching the butler leave with a fawning expression, Ye JinSu's expression immediately fell, and she casually threw the bottle on the table. Meng Lan came in from outside. When she saw this scene, she asked in puzzlement, "What did the Master say to the Lady?"
Ye Jinsu glanced at the medicine on the table and stood up silently. She did not reply, but only said, "Help me wash up. Let's go see Lady Xie out."
Outside, the wind and rain was stronger than usual, bringing with it waves of chilliness. Ye Jinsu put the medicine into her pocket and walked towards a nameless house in the backyard while holding a thermos in her hands. Very few people went there. Mrs Xie was locked there, and the guards were all people from Ye Zizai, so no one knew anything about it.
Meng Lan held up an umbrella for Ye Jinsu. Within the hazy rain, the cold wind blew Ye Jinsu's rain mist. Ye Jinsu's face was slightly red from the wind, but her expression was clear.
No joy, no sadness.
"On father's orders, I have come to visit Second Mother." Ye Jinsu stood in front of the house and spoke with a calm tone. Those people had received the news in advance, and with a glance at each other, they let Ye Jinsu in.
This place was even more dilapidated than she had thought. It was originally a firewood house. The roof was damp and dark, and the corners were covered with cobwebs and reptiles. Madam Xie sat on a somewhat clean bed and bent over coughing. She did not even notice the door opening so loudly.
Ye Jinsu stood in front of the door and looked at the Xie family in the dim light.
He had lost a lot of weight, and he looked even more withered. After coughing, there was a hint of red at the corner of his mouth.
It seemed that if Ye Song hadn't intervened, the Xie family would not have lived for long. Huaiyu was the first to notice Ye Jinsu. She immediately hugged Xie Clan vigilantly, as if she was looking at a ferocious beast.
Ye Jinsu found a stool to sit down and exchanged a glance with Lady Xie. "When you caused the death of my mother and my wet nurse, did you ever think of this day for yourself?"
Lady Xie leaned on Huai Yu's shoulder and looked at Ye Jinsu's expressionless face. She suddenly smiled. His laughter was stifling, and his chest was trembling. He couldn't help but cough.
Lady Xie lifted her head, her eyes turning sinister in an instant. Blood gushed out from the corner of her mouth as she gritted her teeth and said, "Ye Jinsu, I should have let you and your mother die that year!"
Letting her go now was truly a disaster.
Ye Jinsu looked at her and replied with an expressionless face, "Yes, it's a pity that I survived."
"After so many years, it has not been easy for me to live."
The voice was calm, but the tone was clear. However, it seemed as if she was talking about some ordinary family matters. Ye Jinsu's expression did not change much. Meng Lan stood behind her and clenched her fingers.
She thought back to Ye Jinsu's days in such a mansion. She was clearly a direct descendant of a first-rate family, yet she had to struggle to live under the watchful eyes of her parents. Now that these matters had landed in Ye Jinsu's mouth, she actually became so calm and collected.
Ye Jinsu reached out her hand and slowly stroked her neck, then calmly said, "You caused the death of my mother, and also caused my wet nurse's death. "Chase me to the backyard, put me under surveillance, kill me, and poison me."
If it wasn't for Meng Lan's medical skills, she would have a scar on her neck.
After she finished speaking, she put her hand down and gently placed it on her knee. He tapped lightly with his finger, and the sound of friction was almost inaudible. Ye Jinsu's voice was clear and cold, "You even planned to harm me. You were punished to kneel for three whole days."
"And you don't know, your daughter almost disfigured me by slapping me twice." Ye Jinshu stood up together and approached Xie Clan step by step. His face was plain, but somehow, the Xie Clan felt a chill down their spine.
The look in Ye Jinsu's eyes was accompanied by an ice-cold storm, forcing her to not dare to look straight at it.
Huaiyu hugged Xie Shi and retreated a little. She had also lost a lot of weight, and now she could no longer be arrogant.
Lady Xie could no longer endure such a gaze. She suddenly extended her hand to push Ye Jinsu away and screamed, "You were the one who insisted on going against me! You are the one who must steal Ruo'er's limelight! "
"No wonder I can't tolerate you!" Lady Xie glared at Ye Jinsu and shouted, "Who can hold you in this mansion? Who can hold someone as scheming as you!"
"You deserve it!"
"Pah!" Ye Jinsu suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped Xie's face. He knocked her down to the ground, and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth as she started to cough violently.
Ye Jinsu's hands trembled slightly as she pinched the Xie Clan's people's faces, staring at her with eyes as sharp as ice. His eyes were fixed on her, as if he wanted to plunge her into an ice cave in the middle of winter.
Mrs Xie felt a little scared.
"Do you know who called me here?" Ye Jinsu looked at her and spoke word by word. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was slow and firm. Every word was like a drum beating on the heart of the Xie family.
She panicked.
"You should know who it is. After all, other than me, there is someone else in this mansion who wants you dead even more."
Lady Xie suddenly opened her eyes wide and tried to push Ye Jinsu away with all her strength. However, Ye Jinsu only extended her other hand and grabbed onto Xie's hair, stopping her from moving.
Lady Xie glared at her and suddenly shouted like a madman, "No, let go of me, I want to see old master!"
"I want to see old master!"
Ye Jinsu really let go of her and admired her crazy demeanor. She sneered, "Do you really think that he would still come to see you at this time?"
Mrs Xie abruptly stopped screaming, the tears on her face abruptly stopped.
After a long while, she sat up on the bed, looking somewhat dispirited. Lady Xie tilted her head and looked at Ye Jinxiu. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled at Ye Jinsu. Her smile contained a trace of ridicule.
"Speaking of which, you're the one who's more pitiful than me." Mrs Xie opened her mouth and laughed, she seemed to know the world's funniest joke, her laughter swaying left and right.
"I've lived for so long, and if things don't go well for me, I'll count to ten. In the past ten years, I've lived a glorious life in this mansion." Mrs Xie suddenly said complacently. She looked at Ye Jinsu mockingly and said, "What about you?"
"You will never have a happy life in this mansion for the rest of your life!" Mrs Xie laughed and said, "Do you think your father will treat you well just because you killed me? Do you think that just because you fawned over those two old bastards, they would treat you with sincerity? "
"In your dreams!" Mrs Xie spat harshly, her eyes fierce.
Even if she had to die, she would not allow Ye Jinsu to act arrogantly in front of her before she died!
Ye Jinxiu had already sat back down and looked at her with a calm expression, as if she wasn't affected by the Xie Clan's words at all. She lowered her eyes slightly to look at the pitiful woman and said slowly, "You're still worried about how your daughter will live in front of Ye Shisui."
