Chapter 420 Is it really that powerful?
As soon as Ye Zirui entered the room, he couldn't help but frown. It was broad daylight, but the room was dimly lit. The windows were covered with curtains, but there were still lights on inside.
Seeing Ye Zirui frown, Granny Li quickly said, "It was Madam, Madam told me to do this, Madam..."
Granny Li sighed: "Madam said the light outside is too bright and glaring."
Ye Zirui responded and glanced around the room. He then saw a woman hiding behind the bed curtains, looking at him with a panicked expression.
The woman seemed terrified, her eyes filled with fear, yet she also seemed unable to contain her joy and excitement. She hid behind the bed curtains, only revealing a sliver of hair, peeking out every now and then before quickly retreating back inside.
Ye Zirui was somewhat surprised. He had thought that the messages from the people in the mansion, Ye Qing'an, and Granny Li were all exaggerated. But now that he saw Liu Xueying, he realized that Liu Xueying's current situation was really too bad.
"Mother..."
Ye Zirui stared intently at Liu Xueying: "Mother, I'm back. Don't you recognize me?"
Under his gaze, Liu Xueying's face grew increasingly flustered: "How could this be? You're my Zirui..."
Ye Zirui frowned even more deeply, turned to Li Mama and asked, "Mother's voice?"
"It's probably because the lady was too emotional on the night of the incident. She screamed and shouted for a long time, ruining her voice. Her voice has been hoarse ever since."
As Li Mama spoke, her voice choked with emotion: "Fortunately, the young master has returned. I really feel that the madam has suffered too much. Her voice is now hoarse, and because she has been crying for so long, her eyes hurt whenever she sees even a little bit of light."
“The eldest young lady is now in charge of this household, so she doesn’t care about the madam’s affairs. The second young lady… although she also lives in this courtyard now, she has completely broken ties with the madam and doesn’t care about her at all.”
"I'm so worried about you, Madam, seeing you like this all day long, but I have no idea who to talk to."
Ye Zirui nodded and walked towards Liu Xueying.
Liu Xueying immediately panicked, hurriedly taking a few steps back before collapsing onto the bed: "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
Ye Zirui paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Mother, it's me, Zirui. You recognized me just now. How could I kill you? I just wanted to see you."
Liu Xueying seemed not to hear Ye Zirui's words at all, only shaking her head rapidly with tears streaming down her face.
"No, no..."
Ye Zirui pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and waved to Granny Li.
Li Mama understood, lowered her head, and left the room.
"Granny, Granny Li..." Liu Xueying seemed to see Granny Li leave, and she became more and more flustered, calling out repeatedly, wanting to get up and chase after her, but when she saw Ye Zirui standing not far from the bed, she only shrank back into the corner of the bed.
Ye Zirui narrowed his eyes: "Mother, I'm all alone here. You don't need to be afraid. I'm your Zirui."
Liu Xueying ignored him and simply hid in the corner again.
“Mother, if it were only Wei Lan who treated you that way, you wouldn’t be in this situation. Wei Lan is just a pawn in our game. A pawn is nothing more than that; if she’s destroyed, she’s destroyed. Why did you have to do this?”
Hiding in the closet, Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. A chess piece?
What kind of chess pieces?
Liu Xueying, who was hiding in the corner of the bed, narrowed her eyes, but her eyes gradually cleared up. After a while, she said, "But now this chess piece wants to get out of my hand and even wants to turn around and bite the person who played the chess piece. I should teach her a lesson."
"I need to let her know that although I may not be her eternal support, she has nothing without me..."
Ye Zirui finally smiled and took two steps back: "She should be taught a lesson, but that's all. Why should Mother hurt herself like this?"
“It’s not just for this one thing.” Liu Xueying pursed her lips: “The person who treated me before was Ye Qing’an’s lover. I had to pretend, didn’t I? Now that Ye Qing’an has power in her hands, if I were to go crazy, how happy Ye Qing’an would be. She could do whatever she wanted.”
"You shouldn't have come back at this time..."
"However, the impact is not significant."
Ye Zirui responded, "Ye Qing'an, is he really that powerful?"
Liu Xueying chuckled, "Impressive, how could she not be impressive? Look, she's only been back in the manor for a short time, and she's already completely transformed the place. Even your father trusts her completely."
"Is that so?" Ye Zirui narrowed his eyes. "Then I'll have to see just how amazing she really is."
Liu Xueying waved her hand: "Don't stay here too long."
"Okay, I understand. I'm relieved to know that Mother is alright." Ye Zirui lowered his head, and after a while, he asked again, "Mother didn't retaliate when Ye Qing'an did that?"
"A counterattack?" Liu Xueying pursed her lips, gently clutching the quilt. "Of course I did. I once thought of eliminating Ye Qing'an directly, and I went to great lengths to lure her to my courtyard, but I never expected that she would escape."
A look of surprise flashed in Ye Zirui's eyes: "They escaped?"
After a pause, Ye Zirui tentatively looked at Liu Xueying again: "Mother, is it ready to use..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Qing'an, who was hiding in the closet, suddenly realized what Ye Zirui meant.
Ye Zirui... does he know that Liu Xueying is Ye Mei?
Liu Xueying remained silent for a long time before saying, "Of course I used it, but Ye Qing'an still managed to escape. I don't even know how she escaped, or whether Ye Qing'an even discovered it..."
"She escaped?" Ye Zirui frowned as well. "That's strange. Mother previously summoned a servant from the clan to try and trap Ye Qing'an, but it didn't work. Now Mother has taken action herself, and it still didn't work. Is Ye Qing'an really that powerful?"
“Yes.” Liu Xueying pursed her lips. “I don’t know if I’ve been exposed, so the best way is to play dumb. If you’re going to face her, you’ll have to be careful.”
"Okay, Mother, don't worry, I know. I will definitely not let her find out my real secret..."
Ye Zirui flicked his sleeve lightly: "Then I'll take my leave first. Mother, please rest well. If you need anything, you can ask Granny Li to come and fetch me."
"Okay." Liu Xueying nodded, and as if still worried, she added, "You must be careful."
"Okay." Ye Zirui smiled, bowed, and left.
