To satisfy Yè Zhuó, Yè Yǔ Zhāng let Yè Zhuó watch the whole process of punishing Wáng Yí Niáng. After seeing Wáng Yí Niáng being dragged away by the servant girls, he turned to Yè Zhuó and said with a gentle smile: "Zhuó'ér, you've been wronged. I'll issue an order today to prevent the people in the mansion from gossiping, and the marriage between our families won't be affected. You can rest assured."

  Ye Zhuo Ba couldn't help but be affected by the family affairs of Xie's household. Today, Gong Shi was punished severely and Wang Yiniang received such a heavy punishment, which made her very satisfied. She bowed and said: "Thank you, Grandfather, for making decisions for Zhuo Er."

  Ye Yuzhang nodded and looked at her: "When you went to Guangneng Temple last time, did you see Master Nengren? Did he help you with your fate?" Although the marriage between Ye's family and Xie's family was not bad, if Master Nengren could help Ye Zhuo get a good fate, then this marriage would still be insufficient. Ye Yuzhang would not mind regretting the engagement with Xie's family.

  Ye Zhuo's face turned pale upon hearing this, her fingers clenched tightly around the handkerchief, and she lowered her head in silence.

  Ye Yuzhang saw the situation was not good, and hastily drove out the maid servant who was waiting in the house, asking: "What's wrong? Is it that Master Nengren's fortune-telling is bad?"

  Ye Zhuo glanced at Jiang Shi and said in a low voice, "Master Neng Ren said he would no longer help people with fortune-telling. However, when I asked him, he looked at me, sighed, and shook his head regretfully."

  So Ye Zhen's life is in danger?

  Ye Yuzhang's mouth was slightly ajar as he stared at Ye Zhuo, not speaking for a long time. After a while, he comforted her, "This thing, you can't believe it completely, nor can you disbelieve it entirely. Don't take it too seriously either. Being able to marry into the Xie family and become their daughter-in-law is already a good fate. Alright, you go back first."

  Ye Zhuo made a bow and backed out.

  Jiang Shi watched as Ye Zhuo's figure disappeared at the door and turned her head to call out in concern: "Old Head..."

  Ye Yuzhang waved his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip before putting it down and saying: "Don't care about her fate, as long as she can marry into the Xie family, that's a good fate for our Ye Manor. This marriage must be rushed through. I'll go discuss the wedding date tomorrow, you also quickly prepare the dowry."

  Ye Zhuo had just left the main courtyard and was passing through the garden on her way back to Bi Yu's residence when Autumn Moon suddenly appeared in front of her, whispering softly in her ear: "Miss, Eldest Miss is coming from that direction."

  Yè Zhuó's eyebrows moved, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. It was just what she needed, this Ye Lin, who had been thinking of finding an opportunity to put on a show in front of her, but didn't expect to see her now. How timely!

  She turned around and ordered Qiuyue: "Do as I say."

  Akizuki nodded slightly.

  The two servants pretended not to see anything and slowly walked towards the corner. While Qiu Yue looked worried and said: "Miss, don't worry, didn't the old master say it earlier? This thing can't be believed or disbelieved entirely. Now you're about to marry Young Master Xie, after getting married, you'll become the young mistress of the Xie family, with endless blessings, doesn't that mean your fate is good? I think Able Ren's words are completely unreliable!"

  Ye Zhuo furrowed her brow, stopped at the corner, and shook her head sadly: "Since Master Nengren can help the noble concubine to avoid disaster, I suppose my fate won't be wrong either. Alas, thinking that I'll have to live a life like Eldest Madam's in the future makes me afraid. You say, if I marry into the Xie family and become a widow, where's the happiness? I'm afraid it will be even worse than being a maid. If the Xies find out that Master Nengren helped me avoid such a fate, they'll eat my heart raw. Autumn Moon, do you think Grandfather and Grandmother won't reveal what I said today?"

  "Don't worry, don't worry. This matter, you know and I know, and also the old master and mistress know, but others don't know. We two won't say anything, and the old master and mistress are your own grandparents, they also wish for your well-being, so naturally they won't say anything either. And Master Eneren has said that he won't give anyone a hard time, so he absolutely won't tell anyone either. So, miss, you can rest assured. No matter what the future days bring, Autumn Moon will always be by your side."

  "Autumn Moon..." Ye Zhuo choked back a sob and threw herself into Autumn Moon's arms.

  "Alright girl, let's go back. If others see us, it won't be good." Qiu Yue patted Ye Zhuo's back and comforted her.

  "Hmm." Ye Zhu wiped away her tears, supported by Qiuyue, and slowly walked towards the direction of Biyu Residence.

  Ye Lin originally came running after receiving the news, but saw Wang Niang being dragged to the small courtyard. She had no choice but to pay money to make the two women's hands and feet lighter, and ordered her maid to go back and fetch golden ointment to apply on Wang Niang. Only then did she turn around again, wanting to go to the main courtyard to plead for mercy, but unexpectedly ran into Ye Zhuo. Seeing Ye Zhuo, all old and new grievances surged up in her heart, and just as she was about to rush forward and slap her twice to vent her anger, she heard such a conversation.

  She stood behind that clump of flowers for a while, her emotions surging up and down, before walking towards the main courtyard with a stern face.

  Everything is ready, and now it's up to Yelin to make a big splash. Ye Zhuanan put his mind at ease, and the next day he went to the main house. She was already able to suspend the stone in her wrist to write words, and now she has come to ask Ye Yuqi to teach her carving. As for the matter of adoption, she never mentions it again.

  Yeh Chou and the people of Hsieh's family had already heard about the engagement, so when they saw her, they didn't take the talk of adoption seriously. Since Yeh Chou was able to fulfill his own requirements, Yeh Yu-chi did not decline and began teaching Yeh Chou how to carve.

  "Miss, today Eldest Miss has gone out, she went to the Lin's house in the eastern part of the town." Yu Zhuo reported as soon as he came back from the main house.

  "Great." Ye Zhuo's spirit lifted. She was also worried that Ye Lin would be scared off by Wang Niang's affairs and not dare to take action again. If that were the case, she would have to go provoke Ye Lin and bring about her revenge. Now it seemed, there was no need to worry at all, Ye Lin's every move was going according to her predictions.

  "Qiū Jiù has already left the house, next, which one of you will go out first?" She turned her head to look at Qiū Yuè and Qiū Jú.

  "Miss, now Wang's wife has been locked up; the madam is being watched by Zhou Mama and can't stir up any big waves. And Miss's good days are not far away either. Even if you leave the mansion, no one will intentionally make things difficult for me. Let me stay by your side then. If Old Master allows me to accompany you to the main house, that would be best. If not, when the time comes, I'll just have someone from my family come and redeem me. Anyway, a year and a half later, I will also leave, now violating the contract, more than a few times the price of selling myself, I think Old Master won't keep me in the mansion either."

  Qiu Ju also knelt down: "I also request to stay with Qiu Yue sister and serve the young lady."

  "Get up, get up quickly." Ye Zhuo helped them up. "You know the old master's temper, he will never let you follow me to the main house. This mansion, whether it's early or late, is still a departure, so it's better to leave early and let me be at ease. Tomorrow, Autumn Jade can redeem herself first, and Autumn Moon can accompany me for a few more days." Seeing that Autumn Jade wanted to say something again, she waved her hand, "It's settled like this." She looked at Autumn Moon, then at Autumn Jade, and sighed, "Even if I were to be adopted into the main house, I couldn't immediately buy you back. After all, life on that side is not easy. Moreover, being a servant is not a good thing, and you are not young anymore. If there's a good family, then each of you should go your separate ways."

  "Miss..." Autumn Moon and Autumn Chrysanthemum grasped Ye Zhuo's hand, choking with sobs.

  "Second Miss." The voice of the new maid, Chun Yun, who had just been bought by Zheng Yuan, rang out in the courtyard. As for Bi Yu Ju, after Qiu Jiao left, she also got a new maid, called Qiu Ye. She was honest and timid, usually didn't call out, and hid in her room embroidering flowers, not daring to get close to Ye Zhuo's face.

  "Spring Bud sister, is there something?" Autumn Moon lifted the curtain and went out to greet her.

  Thank you Qin Mu Jin for the peace charm and Xixi BB's scallion pancake!
