Ye Mansion. Ye Zhaoyan stood in front of the mansion, looking at the pouring rain, his eyes getting colder.

"This rain is coming fiercely..."

"Miss, do you hate the rain? Maybe it will stop after a while." Dogwood opened her umbrella to cover her from the falling raindrops.

Before she finished speaking, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, and then a loud "bang" was heard, which was deafening.

Thunder rolled in and dark clouds filled the sky.

"God is not kind, and the rain has become heavier..." Ye Zhaoyan said lightly and glanced into the distance, only to see a guard rushing in on a horse.

The guard jumped off his horse, quickly came to Ye Zhaoyan, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Qi, Master Xue has already passed Fengxi Market."

Ye Zhaoyan nodded, "Report this to Commander Ye." After saying that, he headed towards Ye Fugui's yard.

Ye Fugui woke up from her nap, looking sleepy. Seeing this, Ye Zhaoyan gently took care of her hair.

"Zhaoyan, why are you here?" Ye Fugui rubbed his eyes, sat up straight, and asked with a smile.

Ye Zhaoyan handed her the mirror in front of the dressing table, "I invited my uncle to come to Ye Mansion. He should be on his way here now."

Ye Fugui was stunned and said with a surprised look on his face: "It's raining heavily today, why did you ask Zhengping to come... Could it be that he is back?!"

"Yeah." Ye Zhaoyan nodded gently, "He's here."

The officers and soldiers who went south were not due to return within these two days. Xue Huaidan thought that by coming back without anyone noticing, he would be able to catch the Ye family by surprise.

As everyone knows, Ye Mansion received a letter from Wei Linfeng a few days ago and was already on guard.

Ye Fugui's expression became solemn. She looked out the window at the pouring rain, her brows filled with worry.

Xue Huaidan's character has always been gentle and elegant, but in recent months, he has shown a violent and ruthless side. If he calculates the accounts of the year, and if he does some extreme actions...

While Ye Fugui was thinking wildly, Zhuyu rushed in from outside the yard and said anxiously: "Miss, the master is back with someone!"

As soon as Ye Zhaoyan and others walked to the main hall, they saw a thin dark green figure coming through the rain curtain with a few close followers.

That person was none other than Xue Huaidan.

His haggard face was covered with stubble, his clothes were soaked through, and the rainwater on his head kept dripping to the ground, splashing water on the bluestone pavement.

Ye Zhaoyan's pupils shrank slightly, and the hatred in his eyes quietly reappeared.

It was such a rainy night in the previous life. The Ye Mansion changed overnight, and blood mixed with rainwater flowed all over the house.

This heavy hatred passed through two reincarnations and accumulated in her heart, making her heart restless for a long time.

In this life, she will never let Xue Huaidan succeed again.

Xue Huaidan quickly came to the door of the living room, looked at the people in the hall, a look of eagerness appeared on his eyebrows, "Fugui, Zhaoyan, I'm back!"

His voice was hoarse and dry, and he had obviously experienced a lot of ups and downs. His body looked a little weak, and he no longer had the high spirits he had when he set out.

Looking around, the furnishings in the main hall of Ye Mansion have changed their appearance and look a bit unfamiliar. The usual gold and jade ornaments have long disappeared.

Xue Huaidan remembered that it was a rare item that Mrs. Xue loved most.

My mother was really driven away, leaving no trace.

Xue Huaidan was slightly startled, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't say anything and strode into the hall.

Qi Lao and several loyal maids and women waited around Ye's mother and daughter, but did not show Xue Huaidan a seat.

Usually, Butler Xue does all these attentive things.

Now that he is gone, there is no one to lead the way.

Xue Huaidan walked to the nearest chair, sat down quietly, and looked at Ye and his daughter.

Ye Zhaoyan was not afraid, with a calm expression on his delicate face.

Ye Fugui's eyes were full of fear, "You're back."

"Fugui, long time no see!"

He already knew about the turmoil in Jindu on the road, but he didn't know what the inside story was.

Seeing the cold attitudes on Ye Zhaoyan and Ye Fugui's faces, Xue Huaidan guessed that there must be a hidden secret, "Fugui, is there any misunderstanding between you and mother?"

Half a month after Mrs. Xue was sent out of Ye Mansion, he received a message from the Xue family.

The Xue family bitterly complained that the Ye family treated the Xue family harshly, and even drove the Xue family out of the Ye family, but did not mention a word about the reason for this.

If it weren't for the large number of people in the accompanying team and the fact that he often accompanied the governor to observe the people's sentiments, he might have already figured out the inside story.

Now that he has arrived in Jindu, there has been no news from the Xue family, which makes him less confident.

Xue Huaidan estimated that Ye Zhengping was causing trouble in all this. With the scheming and abilities of Ye and his daughter, they would not be so decisive.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In this way, there would still be room for redemption.

The current predicament can be easily solved as long as Ye Fugui is coaxed.

"There is no misunderstanding. Are you rushing back to Jindu in such a hurry to get justice for your mother?" Ye Fugui said coldly.

"Fugui..." Xue Huaidan looked at Ye Fugui, a little shocked by the alienation in her words, "She is your mother too!"

Ye Fugui turned away, "I don't have such a mother-in-law."

"Fu Gui!" Xue Huaidan was horrified when he heard the resentment in Ye Fu Gui's words, "If I have offended you in any way, it was just an impulse. Don't take it to heart!"

"Don't take it to heart?!" Ye Zhaoyan sneered and stepped forward, "Do you know what she did to my mother?!"

"Zhaoyan, what are you talking about!" Xue Huaidan was anxious and couldn't help blurting out.

His eyes were filled with deep confusion, "It's a good thing that my mother has been waiting for help, but sometimes she is willful and confused. How could she do anything excessive to her?"

"What if she finds a foreign man to humiliate my mother!" Ye Zhaoyan said angrily.

Xue Huaidan's voice suddenly stopped, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Xue instigated the slaves of the Xue family to humiliate Mrs. Ye's family. She has committed a heinous crime. She has already confessed her guilt in the Ye family's ancestral hall!" Ye Zhaoyan shouted angrily, "How can we, the Ye family, swallow our anger?!"

When Ye Zhaoyan said this, his title was extremely cold, "If you, the Xue family, are not willing to treat my mother well, just cut her off, why would you abuse her and slander her like this?!"

After hearing these words, Xue Huaidan was immediately confused and looked in disbelief, "How could mother... Fu Gui, have you made a mistake..."

When Ye Fugui saw that he was still favoring Mrs. Xue after everything happened, the remaining warmth in his heart disappeared without a trace, "If you don't believe it, why bother asking again?"

"Make a mistake?!" Ye Zhaoyan sneered again and again, "Everyone in Ye Mansion saw it with their own eyes, how could they be wrong?!"

"Impossible!" Xue Huaidan didn't want to believe this result.

"If you don't want to believe it, forget it. This matter has been settled and there is no room for change." Ye Fugui's voice was soft but very firm.
