Madam Guan didn't care about the Nies at all, and wouldn't even bother to look at these lowly people. She coldly sneered: "You don't need to put on a show for me either. My granddaughter has been in the Nie residence for only a few days and was harmed like this, do I still need to be grateful to the Nies? If I were to kowtow to you, I'm afraid the Nies wouldn't be able to handle it!"

  The Nie family is like a local emperor in this area, and wherever Mrs. Nie goes, she is surrounded by flattering voices, everyone trying to curry favor with her, who dares to be even slightly disrespectful? Even if there are occasionally people who don't know their place and have some conflict with her in conversation, once she reveals her identity and shows a bit of intimidation, they immediately become frightened and tremble with fear, kowtowing and begging for forgiveness. Who has ever seen anyone like Guan's wife, who doesn't take her seriously at all? Moreover, she is completely unimpressed by you, whether you are showing off your status or flaunting your power, she doesn't care at all, and instead uses a shrewish tone to scold and curse.

  Mrs. Nie never thought much of the Ye family to begin with. If it weren't for Mr. Nie's usual pose as a man of the people, she wouldn't have come today. At this point, after several rounds of verbal sparring without gaining any advantage, she couldn't sit still anymore and stood up, waving her hand at the old woman: "Enough, you can't reason with someone like her, let's go, we'll go see how Mr. Du is doing."

  Guan's words left Madame Hao speechless, and she finally vented her anger. Seeing Ye Zhuo waving at her from afar, signaling her to stop talking, she closed her mouth and let Nie Furen lead a group of maids out.

  "We've offended her like this, she won't bear a grudge and not let the doctor come to prescribe medicine for you?" Zheng Manwen was worried about his daughter's body and saw that the doctor had not arrived for so long, and couldn't help but feel some worry.

  "I was afraid of the incense, so I only put it on the windowsill at first, and the medicine I inhaled wasn't much. Now I don't feel uncomfortable anymore, Mother, you don't have to worry." Ye Zhuo said, "Besides, with Nie Daoshi's character, he definitely wouldn't not even invite a doctor for me, giving us another topic of conversation. It's just that there is only one great doctor here who is formidable, and since they invited the doctor to come, naturally Du Gongzi would be treated first before it's my turn, no need to rush."

  Guan and Zheng Manwen saw that Ye Zhuo's face was not as red as before, and she was no longer calling out in a hot voice. Even her breathing was no longer so urgent. After hearing this, they felt less anxious in their hearts.

  At this time, Guan's family finally had the leisure to think of other things and said in a low voice: "Zhuo'er, there are only me and your mother here. You honestly tell us, has Young Master Du done anything out of line to you?"

  "No, really not. He also knew he was poisoned and desperately controlled himself. When you came in, it just happened that he couldn't control himself, so...so it was like that..." Ye Zhuo's face turned red with embarrassment as she spoke of such matters, despite having been married before, and she lowered her head, feeling awkward.

  Guan and Zheng Manwen exchanged a glance, then asked: "Zhuo'er, what do you think of Du Gongzi? If you like him and want to marry him, we'll risk our lives to make him agree to this marriage. I heard he's also from a commoner background, but has some skills, which is why the Nie family values him. You don't have any shortcomings that would make you unworthy of him."

  "No, no, don't mention it, Grandmother. Whatever you do, don't bring this up." Ye Zhuo hastily waved her hand. She knew that if she said Du Haoran was unwilling, it would be pointless, and for her sake, Guan Shi would really go all out to force Du Haoran. She had no choice but to use Nie Wei Yue as an excuse: "You don't know, Master Nie's daughter, Miss Nie, the one wearing red just now, has a crush on Young Master Du. Last time I was given a laxative, it was because I went to see Young Master Du once, and she misunderstood that we had a private relationship, so she took revenge on me. I suspect this time she also used her tricks to frame me. Young Master Du just happened to come to watch me carve jade, and mistakenly got involved. Now thinking about it, she must have hated me to death. If I were to marry Young Master Du now, forcing him to marry me, Miss Nie would go crazy, and I'm afraid our whole family would be killed on the way back to Nan Shan Town."

  She raised her eyes and looked at Guan Shi and Zheng Manwen: "Besides, do you think the man who is forced to marry me will be good to me? Marrying such a person is not as good as finding an honest man in Nanshan Town!"

  "That's right." Guan said those words, just thinking of Ye Zhuo in her heart, afraid that Ye Zhuo liked Du Haoran but didn't dare to say it. In her heart, she naturally hoped that Ye Zhuo would find a honest and down-to-earth son-in-law in Nanshan Town, so that she could have a good life with her grandchildren.

  Zheng Manwen didn't say anything either. She herself had suffered from a mismatched marriage, so she naturally didn't want Ye Zhuo to follow in her footsteps and marry someone who wasn't truly fond of her and whose family background was not suitable for her. Although Du Haoran was said to be of humble origin, he was valued by the Nie family and sat on an equal footing with the young master of the Nie family, which already made him several levels higher than Ye Zhuo's good match.

  Ye Zhuo saw that her grandmother and mother had no intention of persuading her, and was very satisfied. She changed the subject and said: "By the way, how did you guys come?" And it's so coincidental, they came just when she needed someone to help her argue.

  "Your uncle, your grandfather's brother, came to our house the day before yesterday and said he was going to Nanyun City to buy materials. He came to see you and said you were ill and didn't seem to be in good health. But when we saw you at home, you seemed fine, so how could you have fallen ill as soon as you got here? We were worried at home and couldn't put our minds at ease, so we asked your uncle Yang to come with us to see you. Who would have thought that as soon as we walked in the door, we'd run into this situation? My heart is still racing now. Manwen, if we hadn't come, wouldn't Ye Zhuo have been bullied by the Nie family?" She couldn't bear to think about it, but she was worried that if they hadn't come and hadn't exposed this matter, Ye Zhuo's reputation might not have been preserved.

  Zheng Manwen didn't want her daughter to think about what had just happened again, so she reached out and stroked Ye Zhuo's face, her expression full of heartache: "Look, you've become so thin! Let's go home today, we won't stay here any longer."

  "Uh-huh." Ye Zhuo nodded. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but hesitated and closed it again, only casting a apologetic glance at Guan Shi and Zheng Manwen.

  The two girls were chatting when they heard Ye Yuqi's voice outside: "Zhuo'er, the doctor is here."

  "Let him in," Guan said loudly after taking a look at Ye Zhen's clothes.

  Yeh expected to push open the door, and a doctor walked in with him. The doctor didn't say much either, stretched out his hand to take Ye Zhuo's pulse, nodded and said: "Nothing wrong." After finishing, he took out a pill from a small box he carried with him, "Take this pill, and you'll be fine."

  Guan took the medicine and thanked him. Seeing Ye Zhuo staring at her, she looked back at him inexplicably, not knowing what he meant. It was Zheng Manwen who quickly changed the subject, asking: "Doctor, you've already seen Du Gongzi before coming here, right? How is he?"

  "Master Du is fine now, he just took some medicine and that's it." The doctor didn't want to say more, muttered these two sentences vaguely, and then fell silent.

  Zheng Manwen glanced at Ye Zhuo, seeing that she had nothing else to say, and didn't ask any further. Guan Shi searched around the room, found a jug of water and several tea cups, smelled them, and finding no unusual odor, washed the tea cups, poured a cup of water, and let Ye Zhuo take the medicine with it.

  The doctor saw Ye Zhuo take the medicine, then gathered his things, stood up and bowed, wanting to leave.

  "Wait a minute." Ye Yuxiu spoke up, "May I ask if you know how Master Nie plans to handle this matter? How did his conversation with Du Gongzi go?"

  "Sorry, I'm just a doctor, I only take care of illnesses, not other things. If this gentleman has something to ask, he can ask the Nie family members, I don't know anything about it. Goodbye!" The old doctor picked up his medical box and was about to leave.

  "Grandfather, don't ask anymore. It's also difficult to be a doctor here. Why don't you go over there yourself and use the excuse of checking on Du Gongzi's condition to gather some information?"

  Just as Ye Yuqi was about to speak, someone rushed in from outside the door, crying and saying: "Miss, miss, how are you? I'm worried to death." It was Qiuyue.

  The whereabouts of Autumn Moon, Ye Zhen mentioned when talking about today's events, Guan Shi and Zheng Manwen knew that she was sent by Ye Zhen to monitor Nie Wu Gongzi making jade carvings. However, since Ye Zhen had an accident, she wasn't by her side which is a fact, after all, she didn't fulfill her duties as a maid. So now seeing her, her expression isn't very good.

  "I'm fine now," Ye Zhuo said with a smile.

  "It's nothing, almost got killed." Guan said with a gloomy face.

  Qiu Yue only saw Guan Shi and Zheng Manwen then, and it seemed extremely unexpected for them to appear here. Just as she was about to ask, Ye Zhuo pulled her over and said: "How did you get here? What was going on just now over there?"

  "The slave and Zhang Gongzi were together with Nie Wugongzi in that room, until the incense stick was finished before being let out. After coming out, I asked where you were, and then a servant brought me here. Miss, you don't know how worried the slave is about you, what happened to you over here? Why did both Old Lady and Madame come?"

  When Autumn Moon said that, Ye Zhuo knew she didn't know anything. It was also true that Nie Bo Yi was a clever person. Although he listened to Nie Wei Yue and led Ye Zhuo into this situation, he probably knew that once he got too involved, if things went wrong, he would be pushed to the front and become Nie Wei Yue's scapegoat. So, he tried not to come out unless necessary, staying in his room carving to avoid suspicion.

  She briefly told Qiuyue about the matter, but before she finished speaking, she heard someone talking at the door. She stopped and listened to Yang Jianxiu saying at the door: "Zhuo'er, Nie's family has sent someone to deliver a message." After finishing, it seemed like he was instructing that person, "You go in and tell Old Lady Ye what your master said."

  At the time of autumn moon entering the door, Ye Yuqi had already gone out to Du Haoran's place. At this moment, this person should be Nie Zhongkun sending a message.
