"Which Miss Ye?" the old man said in a deep voice.

There are several Miss Ye who have lived in Ye Mansion, but there is only one who has lived here since childhood.

Ye Zhaoyan, the eldest daughter of the Ye family.

"That's Miss Ye who left the house recently." Wei Yu played a trick.

The old man looked startled again. The person who had left the house recently was Ye Zhaoyan.

"What are you looking for her for?"

The old man asked the question without answering.

Zhuo Yibai and Wei Yu looked at each other and saw the suspicion in each other's eyes.

With such a mystery, could it be that Miss Ye really had something unspeakable to hide as they speculated, and had no choice but to hide in the dark?

"It's not convenient to reveal this, so please make it easier for me. We want to see Miss Ye!"

After Wei Yu finished speaking, he took out a few coins from his pocket and handed them to the old man.

"this......"

The old man hesitated for a moment and finally accepted the money.

"Let me inform you!" After he said that, he turned and walked back to the house.

After leaving for a long time, he didn't appear again, and the doubts in Zhuo Yibai's heart became deeper and deeper.

He brought Miss Ye's portrait with him, which he should have just shown for people to recognize.

I just don’t know why, but I always feel like there’s something fishy everywhere, and the people I meet don’t seem trustworthy.

At this time, a half-old woman walked by from a distance, wearing simple clothes, her expression and behavior showed a sense of humility, and she looked timid.

At first glance, he is a servant with an inconspicuous status.

"Ma'am, please stay." Wei Yu called out to the old woman.

When the old woman heard someone calling her, she turned to look at the two people in extraordinary clothes in front of her, with a look of fear on her face.

"Mommy, what's your name?"

The old woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then lowered her head, not daring to look into Wei Yu's eyes, and respectfully replied: "My surname is Zhang, and my name only has the character Yu."

Wei Yu nodded and asked straight to the point: "Does Grandma Zhang know where Miss Ye lives?"

"Which Miss Ye?"

She has served in the Ye Mansion for more than ten years, but has met many girls from the Ye family.

Zhuo Yibai thought for a while and then had an idea: "That's Miss Ye who is outstanding in martial arts!"

There were not many women with such extraordinary skills in Jindu even if they were holding lanterns. He didn't believe that there could be two of them at the same time in Ye Mansion!

The old woman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Are you talking about the eldest lady?"

When Zhuo Yibai heard the name of Nanny Zhang, his heart moved slightly.

Is she really the young lady of Ye Mansion?

Thinking of this, his expression changed and he suppressed the surprise in his heart.

Grandma Zhang felt a little uneasy when she saw the two people looking strange.

"The eldest lady lives in the inner courtyard, men are not allowed to enter at will!"

Her voice was very sincere and didn't sound like she was lying.

Zhuo Yibai took the painting from Wei Yu's hand and slowly unfolded it.

It is Ye Zhaoyan on the scroll.

When Grandma Zhang saw this painting, her expression obviously relaxed, and a flash of appreciation flashed in her eyes, "It turns out that the young master sent the painting to the eldest lady!"

"Um."

Zhuo Yibai did not correct the other party's misunderstanding and responded softly.

A touch of warmth appeared in his clear eyes, and he added: "I want to hand over this painting to Miss Ye personally. I wonder if grandma is willing to inform me?"

Grandma Zhang looked shocked, her lips trembled, and she stopped what she wanted to say.

"Sir, the eldest lady is weak and is recuperating, and..." She hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The old lady said that the eldest lady doesn't like outsiders to disturb her, so she won't be allowed to see guests."

She heard that when the head of the Xue family left, his wife was seriously ill and the eldest daughter rarely left the hospital.

Mrs. Xue had given orders the day before yesterday not to allow outsiders to disturb the peace of the eldest lady and madam.

She did not dare to go against Mrs. Xue's wishes, so she did not tell them the truth.

"oh."

Zhuo Yibai nodded, his eyes flickering.

"In that case, let's wait for another day!"

He put the scroll away again.

Grandma Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, quickly bent down to salute, and then left quickly.

After Nanny Zhang left, Zhuo Yibai and Wei Yu looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

It seems that what they expected was indeed good!

"There is indeed something weird about this Ye Mansion!"

Wei Yu frowned and said, staring at the door of Ye Mansion with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Although they didn't know what exactly happened to Miss Ye, they all had a hunch that there might be something fishy here.

"It seems that I won't see Miss Ye today."

Wei Yu shook her head helplessly.

They came here this time to confirm whether the person in the portrait was in Ye Mansion.

Now that they saw that Miss Ye was indeed in the Ye Mansion but could not be seen, they could only put their plans on hold for the time being.

Zhuo Yibai sighed and walked slowly towards the gate of Ye Mansion.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, the moment when Nanny Zhang was about to speak but hesitated appeared in his mind.

So he turned his head again and said to Wei Yu:

"Follow me, let's go in and take a look!"

Wei Yu was stunned after hearing this, with a trace of worry on his face.

"Young Master, think twice. The Ye Mansion is heavily guarded, and the guards in the mansion are all elite. If anything goes wrong, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you!"

"It's okay." Zhuo Yibai chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't act impulsively. I just want to work hard for you."

Wei Yu looked at Zhuo Yibai's harmless smile and felt a thump in her heart.

Zhuo Yibai asked him to come over and speak a few words to explain the key points clearly.

Wei Yu's face turned even darker, why didn't the young master become the bad guy?

He raised his head and saw that the young man had clear eyes and a pure smile. He didn't look like a bad guy.

Forget it, different people have different fates!

The two came to the main courtyard of Ye Mansion.

"Stop, you are not allowed to come or go at will!"

Just as the two of them entered the courtyard, a tall and burly man walked out of the courtyard.

His face was full of flesh, his muscles were bulging, and he exuded a strong aura.

"The eldest lady of the Ye family has customized a portrait for us and specially asked us to send it over! I wonder if you can pass it on?"

Wei Yu was not afraid of him, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.

The strong man looked at the two of them and snorted coldly, "My eldest lady has a distinguished status, so why does she need to work hard to customize the painting herself?"

Wei Yu couldn't help but frown slightly, and said in an unhappy tone: "We are just ordered to deliver paintings. Is it possible that your Ye family's tutors are like this?"

The strong man's expression changed slightly when he heard Wei Yu's mocking words.

"Hmph! I will never let you two in! If you are sensible, just leave!"

"I'm sorry, we have to hand this painting to Miss Ye personally, otherwise we won't be able to leave."

Wei Yu said in a calm tone, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

When the strong man heard this, his face darkened.

He raised his feet and took two steps closer to Wei Yu, with a sinister light shining in his eyes.

"I want to see who is better, you, the weak scholar, or me, the rough guy?!"

After saying that, he raised his fist and swung it at Wei Yu.

When Wei Yu saw this, his eyes darkened.

“Don’t overestimate your capabilities!”

He snorted coldly, stretched out his right hand, and went straight to the chest of the strong man.

Wei Yu's palm seemed simple and casual, but he grabbed the fist of the strong man and then lifted it up suddenly.

"boom!"

The strong man was thrown to the ground by him.

"What are you doing?"
