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

Zhilan's heart tightened and her face turned pale. Shen Siyan waved his hand, and a sharp knife appeared in his palm. He cut the ropes that bound her in a few strokes. Zhilan was stunned, not understanding what Shen Siyan's intention was. Why would he suddenly let her go?

Shen Siyan changed the subject and gently placed the tip of the knife against Zhilan's neck. "What is your purpose in staying with her? Who sent you here? Do you want to harm her?"

As soon as Shen Siyan finished speaking, his face seemed to become even colder, and there was no ripple in his dark eyes. When he thought that someone would pose a threat to Ye Yunzi, his anger was hard to contain.

When Zhilan heard this, she shook her head like a rattle, "No, no..."

"I will never hurt you, young lady. It was you who gave me a new life, provided me with food, and allowed me to live until now... I just want to repay you, even if I have to work like a slave for you, I would be happy to do that!" Zhilan said firmly, her eyes full of determination.

"Hmm?" Shen Siyan stared straight into the eyes of the maid in front of him. He seemed to have seen that determined look before. Recalling the day he was arrested and imprisoned, it was his followers who stepped forward and told him to flee quickly.

It was a look of loyalty, an unwavering loyalty even in the face of death.

No one knows.

Zhilan herself could not remember who she was two years ago. When she woke up, she was disheveled and ragged. She mingled with beggars, fighting with their companions for leftovers on the ground, and drinking dirty water on the roadside when she was thirsty.

At that desperate moment, a pretty woman appeared in front of her and handed her a basket full of steamed buns.

"My mother told me that these might be more practical to you than silver."

The woman's eyes were clear and bright, without any prejudice, just like the warm sunshine in winter, giving infinite comfort.

"My mother also taught me that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. If you are willing to work in my house, I can arrange a job for you and you will be paid every month."

So, she followed the woman into the Lin Mansion without knowing what was going on and became a servant in the Zijin Courtyard.

No matter what the outside world says, the young lady is always the most gentle and kind person in her heart, with a heart as soft as cotton and as pure as pearls.

She had vowed that as long as she lived, she would do her best to repay the young lady's kindness.

Now that she can serve the young lady personally, she swears to protect her and not let any harm come near her.

"I will never let anyone hurt the young lady in any way!" Zhilan said in a firm tone.

Even after she recovered from her head injury and regained her memory half a year later in the Lin Mansion, and knew that she was the top killer trained by the White Crane Tower, her determination never wavered. Because, in her life journey, the only person who gave her warmth and smiles was the young lady.

Shen Siyan's lips curled up into a smile. The maid in front of him said something sincere and genuine. It was not bad for Ye Yunzi to have a protector who knew martial arts.

"Very good, but I warn you, if one day you feel like betraying me, I will personally deal with you!"

Zhilan raised her head. Does this mean...he is going to let her go? Why?

"I don't want Ye Yunzi to get hurt. She is not an ordinary person. The road ahead is full of dangers..." Shen Siyan muttered to himself, frowning, "I can let you go and keep it a secret so that Ye Yunzi won't find out your true identity, but... you have to do me a small favor."

"What help do you need?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Zhilan's eyes. She longed to stay by the young lady's side and protect her. She absolutely did not want to die here.

"From now on, you must tell me everything Ye Yunzi does."

"What did you say?" Zhilan was surprised.

"Just like today, she secretly hid the account books of the Marquis' Mansion. This is playing with fire. If someone finds out, the entire Marquis' Mansion will be turned upside down, and she won't be able to escape even if she wants to." Shen Siyan said calmly.

After hearing this, Zhilan's expression became complicated. She knew the importance of the account book, and if she got involved, she would be in trouble.

"So, you have to steal the account book and hand it over to me. If Ye Yunzi does anything dangerous in the future, you must report it to me!"

Zhilan bit her lip, feeling mixed emotions. Agreeing to Shen Siyan felt like betraying the young lady behind her back, and she felt guilty.

Shen Siyan seemed to see through her contradiction and said slowly: "You stayed with Ye Yunzi, wasn't it to protect her?"

"That's right, I want to protect the young lady!" Zhilan said firmly.

"That's right. I also hope that she is safe and no longer suffers that pain." Shen Siyan said in a flat tone.

Zhilan was full of doubts and always felt that Shen Siyan was hiding something.

……

Coming out of the study, Zhilan frowned.

"Master Shen..." She showed a struggle on her face, "As long as it is beneficial to Miss and does not harm Miss, I am willing to do anything!"

Ye Yunzi searched every corner of the Marquis' Mansion, but could not find any trace of Zhilan. She had the account book of the Marquis' Mansion's smuggling hidden in her sleeve, and her heart became even heavier.

"We must leave the mansion as soon as possible, lest there be more trouble at night."

"I have to ask Lin Yiqing directly about the matter of Zhilan's child, if she refuses to reveal Zhilan's whereabouts." Ye Yunzi's eyes were stern. If it really came to that, she would never show mercy.

Thinking of this, Ye Yunzi quickened her pace and rushed to the hall.

From afar, the figure of Ye family's third daughter Ye Ziru came into view. She was smiling charmingly and seemed to be in an especially good mood.

"The plan is going just as I wish. That concubine Jiaojiao really dares to do it." Ye Ziru's eyes moved, she smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, calculating the time in her mind. According to the plan, Ye Yunzi should be disgraced by now.

Originally thought that there was nothing she could do to Ye Yunzi this time, but unexpectedly she found the earrings left behind by Zhilan. Ye Yunzi cared so much about the people around her, how could she sit back and watch when the maid was in danger?

Ye Ziru took advantage of the situation and set up a trap, waiting for Ye Yunzi to jump in. The maid just came to report that she had successfully led Ye Yunzi into the yard. The next plot is self-evident. At this time, I am afraid that she has been entangled with a man.

"Ye Yunzi..." Ye Ziru smiled charmingly, but with a chill in her voice.

Here, Ye Yunzi stared at Ye Ziru coldly. Just as she was about to step forward, a crisp call interrupted her steps.

"Miss!" Zhilan's voice rang out, making Ye Yunzi startled. She turned around and Zhilan's figure came into her sight.

"Zhilan?" Ye Yunzi couldn't believe it.

"Miss!" Zhilan shouted again.

"Zhilan, you're okay, you're really okay, that's great." Ye Yunzi stepped forward quickly and held Zhilan's hands tightly, "How did you escape?"

Zhilan looked bewildered, "What is Miss talking about? I've been standing by there the whole time, and I haven't seen Miss Four do anything else!"
