Ye Qian suddenly opened his eyes and was silent for a moment. Then he asked dissatisfiedly, "Who asked you to come? Didn't you say you would never set foot in the Duke's Mansion again?"
Zhan Xuan frowned and retorted: "Ye Qian, can you please speak properly? Ye Li was very sad when he learned that you were sick. He cares about you very much!"
Ye Qian retorted without hesitation: "I'm teaching my brother a lesson, what does it have to do with you? Don't meddle in other people's business!"
"You!" Zhan Xuan was so angry that he clenched his fists and was about to hit him.
Ye Li subconsciously stopped him: "Boss Xuan, don't do this!"
Zhan Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "In my opinion, he is not seriously ill at all, he is just bored!"
Ye Li immediately said, "Go out first. I want to talk to my brother alone!"
Seeing his pleading eyes, the anger on Zhan Xuan's face disappeared instantly.
He turned and walked away quickly, only to see a maid standing not far away, peeking in. He shouted angrily, "How dare you watch the masters' fun? Believe it or not, I'll dig out your eyeballs and kick them like balls."
The maid shrank her neck in fear and hurried back to report to Madam Ye.
After hearing this, she scoffed: "Lin Yiwan, I thought you raised our son so well, but I didn't expect you to be so rude and disgusting!"
The maid said worriedly, "Second Master Zhan is guarding outside like a door god. I can't hear the conversation inside!"
Madam Ye waved her hand: "No need to listen deliberately. With that unfilial son around, Lin Yiwan will definitely come to visit. When that happens, it will be her death!"
At this moment, Ye Li was staring at Ye Qian pacing back and forth in astonishment. "Didn't you say you couldn't walk? Why do I see you're still quite nimble?"
Ye Qian snorted coldly: "I was pretending, otherwise how could I have fooled my mother?"
Ye Li asked in surprise: "Lie to her? Why would you do that?"
Ye Qian sighed helplessly, "She's using me as bait to lure the Marquis's wife and you into the Duke's Mansion, and then catch you both in one fell swoop!"
Ye Li was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that she could be so cruel.
Hatred really makes people look hideous!
Is she planning to not have a son at all?
Seeing the confusion on Ye Li's face, Ye Qian gritted his teeth and said, "I think she has gone insane. She is now dominated by the resentment in her mind. Revenge for Xiao Yu and his mother is just a cover. What she really resents is that the Marquis's wife should not have a happy life and should not have both fame and fortune!"
Ye Li understood how terrible jealousy could be. He said sadly, "Will the gentle and kind mother from before never come back?"
Ye Qian couldn't help but sneer: "How can she come back? She even dared to poison me. It's enough to show that her heart is as hard as a rock!"
Ye Li quickly asked, "So what are you going to do? You can't just keep pretending to be sick, right?"
Ye Qian closed his eyes tightly and said, "Let Madam Hou expose her conspiracy. No matter what, the Duke's Mansion cannot keep her!"
Ye Li knew very well that it was a difficult decision for his elder brother to make. He held his wrist tightly and comforted him: "No matter what you do, I support you!"
"Yeah!" Both brothers nodded vigorously.
When Ye Li walked out of the Duke's Mansion, his steps were already staggering.
Obviously, he was deeply shocked by Ye Qian's illness.
He walked to the door and looked at the gatekeeper: "Go and inform your master that tomorrow morning, the Marquis's wife will come to the mansion to see the eldest son. All this is to save my eldest brother's life!"
"Yes!" The gatekeeper responded quickly.
After hearing the news, Mrs. Ye immediately began to make arrangements around Ye Qian's house.
She secretly buried kerosene at the base of the wall and piled a lot of dry firewood behind the window.
Everything is ready, except for Lin Yiwan leading Ye Li and others into the death trap.
Thinking of that exciting scene, Mrs. Ye was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.
She struggled until dawn and finally heard the news that Lin Yiwan had entered the mansion.
She quickly asked her maid to lead the way to the room that had been decorated long ago, and lying on the bed was a dummy covered in kerosene.
However, when she reached the gate of the yard, Lin Yiwan suddenly stopped.
She asked coldly, "This isn't right. I've been to Duke Ye's Mansion before, and the eldest son Ye Qian's courtyard isn't even here!"
Ye Li also spoke up: "When I came here yesterday, Big Brother was indeed not in this yard!"
The maid hurriedly and carefully explained, "Madam, there was a sudden rat in the eldest son's room last night, so Madam moved him here temporarily!"
Lin Yiwan nodded in understanding: "So that's how it is!"
But even after saying this, she still didn't move forward.
She lowered her eyes to look at the medicine box and said, "Oh no! I forgot to bring a medicine. I have to go back. Ye Li, please wait for me outside for a while. I'll be back soon!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left in a hurry.
How could the maid let her go? She quickly reached out to stop her: "Madam, what medicine did you forget to take? Why don't you tell me and I will run to the Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion. Our eldest son is still waiting for you to save his life!"
Lin Yiwan raised her eyes to look at her and found that although she seemed calm and composed, her forehead was actually covered with cold sweat.
She feels guilty!
She smiled calmly: "Okay, then you can go to the Zhan Yihou Mansion, but you have to come back quickly, because that medicine is very important!"
The maid nodded hurriedly: "Yes, then please ask Madam Hou to go and see our eldest son!"
Lin Yiwan walked in without any hesitation.
The maid watched as everyone entered the yard and quickly retreated.
Then she suddenly opened the tinder and threw it directly into the pile of dry firewood behind the window.
Just when she thought the whole yard would become a sea of fire in an instant, she didn't expect that it was only dry firewood that was burning, and the surrounding area was not affected at all.
She was stunned. "How could this be? What went wrong?"
Madam Ye, who was hiding in the dark, was also very anxious. She couldn't help but rush out and threw out several fire starters in succession.
At this time, Lin Yiwan walked out of the house slowly and said, "Madam Ye, what are you busy with?"
Madam Ye suddenly froze. She looked at Lin Yiwan and the people standing behind her in horror.
After a long while, she finally managed to squeeze out a few words from her throat: "Ah Qian, you, you're feeling better so soon?"
Ye Qian walked up to her and looked at her with disappointment: "Shouldn't you ask why I am here?"
Madam Ye's eyes suddenly flashed with sternness, and she scolded coldly: "Ye Qian, are you colluding with them to deceive me?"
Ye Qianhuo sneered: "At this point, you are still pushing the responsibility away. It was obviously you who poisoned me first and planned to use me as bait!"
