Just as Yingyi was about to respond, she heard a shrill cry from afar: "Madam, please don't punish my mother. She has too many clothes to wash, so I'll help her wash them!"
Zhan Yan's pupils contracted violently. Was there another trick?
Shadow Soul was the first to react. He quickly reminded, "Hey, leader, didn't you hear the conflict ahead? Change the route!"
The servant immediately showed an embarrassment: "This is the only way to Qingzhu Garden. Three gentlemen, our Second Young Miss is really pitiful. Since you have come across her, why don't you plead for her? You are honored guests, and the Madam will listen to your advice for the sake of face!"
Zhan Yan looked drunk and urged them in a vague voice, "What are you two hesitating about? Hurry and leave!"
Yinghun and Yingyi looked at each other, and quickly supported him and walked forward quickly.
Inside the pavilion, a woman in brocade clothes was whipping a beautiful woman kneeling on the steps with a horsewhip.
She was thin, with a look of deep sadness between her brows and tears on her cheeks. When people saw her, they couldn't help but subconsciously have the urge to protect her.
However, Zhan Yan not only did not meddle in other people's business, he did not even stop for a moment.
Seeing that he was about to pass by, Lady Jinyi suddenly became anxious.
She kicked the woman directly, causing her to roll in front of Zhan Yan.
Now, he couldn't pretend not to see it.
After all, the woman was shrinking in front of him with a look of pain on her face.
In this situation, if it were someone else, they would subconsciously help her up.
Zhan Yan narrowed his drunken eyes and asked in surprise, "What is this? Where did this stone come from? How dare you block my way? I'll kick you away!"
The second lady Ye Ling, who was curled up on the ground, was scared to death. She was a human being, not a stone at all.
If he gets kicked away, how can he survive?
Zhan Yan is the god of war and the living king of hell of the current dynasty. Few people can withstand the power of his kick.
In a flash, she suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed subconsciously: "Greetings, Lord Marquis, Ling'er accidentally blocked your way, please forgive me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Jinyi suddenly lifted her ear and angrily scolded, "Don't think I won't punish you just because we're here. You're being lazy and slacking off. The City Lord's Mansion doesn't support idlers!"
Ye Ling's already pale face was immediately filled with pain. She pleaded in a trembling voice, "Madam, please spare my life. Please, for your sake, spare me and my aunt this time!"
Madam Jinyi raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Noble? If you can get the noble to plead for you, I will spare you and your aunt!"
Ye Ling's pleading eyes fell on Zhan Yan, and she sobbed tremblingly: "My dear, can you please help me say a word? Ling'er begs you!"
Zhan Yan frowned. He didn't want to be involved in this inexplicable peach blossom debt. What's more important is that he is a married man. How could he mess around with someone casually?
He spoke without hesitation: "I think your wife is right to teach you. There is no such thing as a freeloader in this world!"
Just one sentence confused the lady in brocade clothes and Ye Ling.
Why is this man so cruel?
Faced with the beauty before you, can't you feel even a little bit of pity?
Or was it that he drank too much and his eyesight was not working well, so he didn't see Ye Ling's appearance clearly?
Thinking of this, Madam Jinyi pushed her and said, "Can't you see that you are a little unsteady on your feet? Why don't you lend a hand and help?"
Ye Ling understood and rushed to Zhan Yan tremblingly.
He was startled and quickly hugged Yingyi beside him with both hands: "I want to vomit, carry me away quickly!"
Almost instantly, Ying Yi picked up Zhan Yan and ran forward.
Ye Ling was in a state of complete disarray, watching the master and servant disappear from his sight.
She whispered in a trembling voice, "Madam, didn't you say that all men in the world love to cherish women? As long as I take the initiative to approach him, he will definitely feel sympathy?"
Madam Jinyi gritted her teeth and said, "How would I know he could run faster than a rabbit? It's just that he can't escape our grasp. Doesn't he live in Qingzhu Garden? Go and make his bed yourself. I don't believe he can turn a blind eye!"
She paused and then scolded, "Don't wear this dress anymore. It makes you look like you're at a funeral. No one will like it!"
Ye Ling bit her lip in grievance: "Madam, didn't you say that generals like Marquis Zhan Yi like plain and elegant things the most?"
Lady Jinyi interrupted without hesitation: "But he's obviously not interested in you now, so you can only change the style of clothes!"
But when Ye Ling saw the new clothes, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
She said nervously: "Madam, this is not a dress for dancers. The neckline is very low. I dare not wear it!"
Lady Jinyi glared at her in dissatisfaction: "Doesn't your aunt wear it often? She can even make the master lose his mind, so why are you afraid?"
Ye Ling bit his lip hard, a hint of humiliation flashing in his eyes.
Lady Jinyi sneered, "Ye Ling, the master wants to win over Zhan Yan. If you can win his favor and make him give up on investigating the source of the weapon, you will have made a great contribution. Then your aunt will be promoted to a noble concubine, and your status will rise accordingly!"
Ye Ling nodded: "Ling'er understands!"
Seeing her so well-behaved, Madam Jinyi softened her expression and said, "You should know better than anyone that Zhan Yan commands a large army. If he can be used by the master, the entire Ye family will not be confined to this small Lingnan city in the future!"
Ye Ling leaned forward respectfully and said, "Ling'er will wear this dress to make the bed for Marquis Zhan Yi. Please rest assured, Madam!"
Lady Jinyi urged impatiently: "Go quickly. If you still can't do anything, I will ask the nanny to bring him a bowl of sobering soup. I hope you can help!"
Ye Ling responded, turned around and walked out quickly.
When her maid Xiu'er saw the clothes in her hands, her eyes suddenly turned red.
She said anxiously: "Miss, how can you wear such clothes? After all, you are the second daughter of the Ye family!"
Ye Ling lowered her head and gave a bitter smile: "Xiu'er, what kind of Second Young Miss am I? In the eyes of the Master and the Madam, I am just a small chess piece paving the way for them!"
Xiu'er felt heartbroken, but she also understood that she had no choice at all.
After changing his clothes, Ye Ling couldn't help but squint his eyes as he looked at the charming girl in the bronze mirror.
Although her appearance is not the best, she is still among the best in Lingnan City.
Who doesn’t say that the second young lady living in the city lord’s mansion is stunningly beautiful?
However, only she herself knows that her asset is her attractive figure.
The area around her chest was very eye-catching, and in order to protect her, her aunt even tightened it with a cloth strip every time.
But now, she doesn't want to be strangled anymore!
