Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Ye Yunzi looked calm on the surface, but in her heart she felt that there was an indescribable weirdness in this study, as if the air was filled with mystery.

Not far away, a pair of nervous eyes were fixed on Ye Yunzi, while Zhilan was controlled by Shen Siyan, unable to move, and hiding behind the screen.

Shen Siyan stood quietly behind Zhilan, his hands on her shoulders, ready to strangle her at any time and end everything easily.

"..."

Miss, please don't come near here!

Zhilan screamed desperately in her heart, hoping that Ye Yunzi would not see this scene.

Ye Yunzi strolled back and forth, her eyes scanning the bookshelves like a radar, and finally locked onto the screen. The screen was painted with the scenery of the four seasons, and the brushstrokes were so wonderful that it was as if the talented scholar was there in person, with white cranes flapping their wings and ready to fly, so vivid that anyone who saw it would be full of praise.

However, what she was paying attention to at this moment was not the painting on the screen, but her eyes were fixed on the height of the screen, with a calculating look in them.

If it were true, there might really be someone hiding behind the screen.

"Is there someone else in the study? Could it be Zhilan?" Ye Yunzi began to wonder in her heart, and a hint of solemnity appeared in her deep eyes.

She approached step by step. Zhilan, who was hiding behind the screen, felt her heart almost jump out of her chest. She breathed heavily and shook her head desperately to signal her not to come over.

Shen Siyan on the side also frowned secretly. Seeing Ye Yunzi getting closer and closer, her beautiful face and worried eyes became clearer and clearer. Her long eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and her dark eyes seemed to be locking onto a target.

Ye Yunzi, ah, Ye Yunzi!

Ye Yunzi walked to the screen, slowly stretched out her hand, and prepared to lift the barrier.

Her eyes accidentally fell on the winter scene in the painting of the four seasons. The white crane stood alone on the snowy rock, with lush feathers and eyes as red as blood.

A painting should be impeccable and perfect no matter how you look at it, but Ye Yunzi suddenly paused and fixed her gaze on Bai He's eyes.

"The crane has flown to the lonely mountain and has not returned yet, a piece of cloud and bamboo..."

Her voice suddenly stopped and she turned sharply to the other side, which was exactly the direction that Bai He on the screen was looking at.

She paced away, her fingers tracing along the bookshelf.

Even if you clean every day, some corners are bound to be covered with dust. Ye Yunzi's fingertips touched a patch of gray, and she explored to the side a little bit, and finally touched a round object.

With a clear "click" sound, the bookshelf not far away slowly moved away and retreated to both sides.

The ordinary study room now seemed mysterious. There was such an ingenious mechanism hidden behind the bookshelf, concealing a secret space.

"I see!"

Ye Yunzi secretly sighed in her heart that her observation and memory were extraordinary.

When she first entered the courtyard, she took a quick glance and remembered that there was a room on the west side of the study. However, after entering the study, she could not find any trace of that room. She did not pay attention to it at first, but now all signs indicate that there is something hidden in the study.

"There's a dark room hidden in the study."

Ye Yunzi stared at the secret room in front of her. There were some books piled in it. It didn't look like it had been carefully maintained. Everything was arranged according to the owner's temperament.

"What kind of tricks are hidden in this mansion? What secrets are there that cannot be seen?" She muttered to herself as she kept walking and exploring inside.

An account book was spread out on the table, with densely packed words coming into view.

"Is this the account book of the Marquis' Mansion? Logically, the accountant should be in charge of these, so why is he here..."

Ye Yunzi frowned slightly and scanned the records on the account page. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed. Although she had never managed the accounts herself, she was the apple of the Jiang family's eye before she became blind. Although she had not experienced it personally, she had heard and seen a lot, and had her own opinions on the accounting matters. At this moment, in her eyes, this was not an ordinary account book, but a black account book that recorded private transactions!

"The Marquis' Mansion... embezzled money and property..." Ye Yunzi's heart was shocked and her face turned pale. This account book was very important, and the Marquis' Mansion would have to protect it at all costs. Once it was leaked, the status of the Marquis' Mansion would be difficult to preserve, and it might even bring disaster!

"So there is such a hidden compartment in the study room that is not known to outsiders. Everything inside is thrilling enough!"

Ye Yunzi whispered, holding the account book tightly in her hand. Such a big secret was discovered by her by accident. This account book was like a hot potato. There were countless eyes outside watching it. Whoever got hold of it would be holding the throat of the Marquisate!

From the initial panic, Ye Yunzi gradually calmed down, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

"The black account of the Marquis' Mansion..." She held the account book in both hands, her eyes brighter and brighter, an unprecedented idea sprouted in her heart, and it became stronger and stronger. Even though the Jiang family was extremely powerful, it was almost overthrown by Shen Yuming. And if she and her mother had not escaped, even if they had a foothold in the Lin Mansion, the Lin Mansion would not necessarily help the Jiang family.

In the past, she had a narrow vision and thought that she could protect herself by eliminating Jiaojiao and all threats. Now, it seems that she is like a small boat in the ocean, which may be swallowed by the huge waves at any time.

"Power..." Ye Yunzi frowned, clutching the account book, "Without enough power, how can I protect my loved ones? Without power, the tragedy will only happen again."

She took a deep breath, her body trembled slightly, and her pale face was full of determination and difficulty.

In the shadows, Shen Siyan quietly watched Ye Yunzi's back. Seeing her open the secret compartment and discover the secret account book of the Marquis' Mansion, his face was full of disbelief. How could he not be surprised that a woman could find the treasure he had been searching for for many days with only a tiny clue?

He had been secretly following the Marquis's residence for several days and broke into the study today, with the goal of obtaining the smuggled account book. However, he searched through all the drawers and boxes for two hours without success. However, Ye Yunzi accidentally found the account book and recognized its identity at a glance.

"She is really not simple!" Shen Siyan thought to himself. And what does she mean by "repeat the same mistakes"?

Shen Siyan's eyes became deep, and his attention to Ye Yunzi became stronger. Now Ye Yunzi was the most favored one in the world, and with Old Madam Ye as her backer, she was indeed a golden branch and jade leaf. Although the Lin family had a new concubine and a young lady, they could not cause any big waves.

Why did she mention "repeating the same mistakes"?

Shen Siyan's thoughts became deeper and deeper, and this matter became more and more interesting.

Ye Yunzi pondered for a moment, her hands trembling slightly. She knew that taking the account book would mean a heavy burden for her in the future. But for the Jiang family, for her grandfather and mother... she had no choice.

She hid the account book in her sleeve and left quickly, not forgetting to restore the secret door.

"This account book is very important. I will keep it for you first. Don't let anyone find out!" Ye Yunzi frowned and said earnestly. The study door closed gently, as if nothing had happened.

Behind the screen, Shen Siyan slowly appeared, turned to look at Zhilan, and asked in a cold voice: "She is your young lady?"
