Lin Yiwan felt very sorry for the little guy. Her face had turned pale with pain, but she still spoke up for Zhan Xuan.

She reached out and rubbed his head: "Madam Hou is not someone who doesn't know right from wrong. Even if I beat Zhan Xuan, I will investigate the whole thing. You don't have to worry about him. Let me help you check your injury first, okay?"

Ye Er didn't answer but asked, "Can you please stop beating him? He really didn't mean it!"

Lin Yiwan just felt that the little guy in front of her was so kind, especially those big eyes with clear black and white, which made it impossible for her to feel angry at all.

She soothed him softly, "Okay, I won't beat him, don't worry!"

Ye Er's face instantly lit up with smiles: "Thank you, Madam Hou!"

Lin Yiwan immediately treated his wound. It would take a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. I'm afraid Ye Er will have to spend the whole year bedridden.

After all, he was young, and after being injured and frightened, he was in very bad spirits.

By the time Lin Yiwan said goodbye and left, he had already fallen asleep.

Madam Ye escorted her out of the house, and she also earnestly warned her: "Don't punish Zhan Xuan again. He is a good friend of Ye Er and Ye Qian, and would never intentionally hurt him!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Yes, I understand, please go back, old lady!"

Old Madam Ye watched her get on the carriage before turning around and returning home.

She saw Madam Ye peeking out of the door and couldn't help but scold her: "Ci'er, I know you feel sorry for Ye Er, but Madam Hou has done a favor for our Ye family. No matter what, you can't resent her in your heart!"

Madam Ye argued anxiously: "Mother, I don't hate her, I just feel sorry for Li'er. He has to lie in bed during the New Year. How lonely he must be!"

Madam Ye sighed helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it. Who let him get hurt?"

At this time, Lin Yiwan also returned to Zhan Yihou's mansion. She asked Zi'er to find a stick that was convenient for her.

Zi'er's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly sent a message to Yinghun, asking him to tell Zhan Yan to come to the study and rescue Zhan Xuan immediately after he returned from the palace.

Zhan Xuan was called in front of Lin Yiwan, looking a little nervous.

He subconsciously asked cautiously, "Mother, how is Ye Er injured? Did he really break all his bones?"

Lin Yiwan frowned and shouted angrily, "Kneel down!"

"Bang!" Zhan Xuan immediately knelt down firmly.

Lin Yiwan frowned and asked, "Tell me, why did you hurt him?"

Zhan Xuan hurriedly explained, "I really didn't mean to do that. Xiaoshu and I were playing Cuju together, and today we were short of people, so he insisted on joining us. Originally, we really didn't like to play with him. He was too weak, with skinny arms and legs, and he was always crying. I directly refused, but he refused to leave and even begged Xie Xiaoshu pitifully. What could I do? I had to let him join!"

Lin Yiwan took the stick and hit him where his flesh was thick: "Then you can't kick his legs. You are so strong, who can withstand such a kick from you?"

Zhan Xuan was beaten so hard that his teeth were bared. He kept shouting, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Can't I just never play with him again?"

Lin Yiwan hit him with the stick again: "No, can't you hold back a little? If you accidentally kill someone one day, you won't be punished by a stick!"

Zhan Xuan quickly agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to Mom, I won't use so much strength anymore, ouch, my butt is almost broken, it hurts!"

Lin Yiwan frowned. "Only by loving you can you learn a lesson. Do you know how much suffering Ye Er is suffering lying on the bed? Tomorrow you should pack your bags and go to the Ye Mansion to be his walking stick. You should serve him personally. No matter what he wants to do, you have to take care of him!"

Zhan Xuan widened his eyes in shock: "Mother, you don't want your son anymore?"

At this time, Zhan Yan hurried into the study, and when he saw Zhan Xuan was still alive and kicking, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhan Xuan seemed to have seen a savior, and he immediately begged: "Dad, please save the child quickly, my mother wants to kick me out of the house, she doesn't want me anymore!"

Zhan Yan asked Lin Yiwan: "Where should we send him?"

Lin Yiwan replied, "Of course it's the Ye family. He hurt Ye Er, so he has to take responsibility for him. Those who know that he was injured because they were playing together, but those who don't know think that our Zhan Yihou Mansion bullied the orphans and widows of the Ye family!"

Zhan Yan collected his thoughts and looked at Zhan Xuan: "Your mother's decision is correct. Ye Er is a descendant of a meritorious service. If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of this matter, our Zhan Yihou Mansion will be thrust into the spotlight again!"

Zhan Xuan scratched his head: "Is it that serious? Why did things become so complicated? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let Ye Er take the blame!"

Zhan Yan said, "Don't wait until tomorrow morning. Pack your bags and follow me to the Duke's Mansion now. Don't delay any longer!"

Zhan Xuan had a sad face and went to the Duke's Mansion carrying his small bag.

On the way, he asked aggrievedly: "Dad, when will you take me home again?"

Zhan Yan replied: "When Ye Er recovers his normal walking ability, you will return to the Marquis' Mansion!"

Zhan Xuan pursed his lips and said, "Okay, it will take three months."

Old Madam Ye received Zhan Yan again. She originally thought that the matter would be over after just an apology, but she didn't expect that Zhan Xuan would be asked to stay in the Duke's Mansion to take care of Ye Er. This surprised her very much.

She subconsciously said, "We have servants in our house, and we also have Ye Qian. There is really no need for Master Xuan to stay in the Duke's Mansion!"

Zhan Yan spoke directly: "Old Madam, please don't refuse again. Zhan Xuan did something wrong and he should take responsibility. Otherwise, he will never know how to repent. Let him be Ye Er's servant until he recovers!"

Old Madam Ye didn't know what to say and had to keep Zhan Xuan.

She originally wanted to prepare a separate courtyard for him. She couldn't really treat Zhan Xuan as a servant.

However, Zhan Xuan disagreed. He took out his bedding roll and spread it directly under Ye Er's bed, saying, "I'll sleep here so he can use it when he's hungry or thirsty!"

Ye Er was so frightened that his face turned pale. How could he order Boss Xuan around?

He would rather suffocate to death!

He huddled on the bed, not daring to make a sound, not even to breathe.

Zhan Xuan was also bored, but when he saw Ye Er's pitiful appearance, he immediately regretted it.

He frowned and said, "Ye Er, you are too weak. Look at Xie Jianshu. Even if I kick him several times, his legs won't break!"

Ye Er replied fearfully, "My mother said that when I was in the womb, I wasn't as tall as my older brother. Plus, I have a small appetite, so naturally I'm short!"

Zhan Xuan said in surprise: "Then why don't you eat more? The food is so delicious, but I always feel hungry!"

Ye Er closed his eyes. He also wanted to eat more to grow taller, but he just couldn't eat.

Just as I was daydreaming, I suddenly felt a little unwell.

He subconsciously held his breath, his brows tightly knitted together.

Zhan Xuan noticed something was wrong and approached him curiously: "Ye Er, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so grim?"

Ye Er interrupted without hesitation: "I'm fine, Boss Xuan, go to sleep quickly, don't worry about me!"
