7 Chapter Six (1/2)

”How could this be? Doctor Ye, what is the meaning of this?” Yu Jiang Jun naturally knew of his own concubine's medical ability. He slammed a hand onto the table, almost causing it to break. He raised that hand again, eyes flaring.

Yu You Lei saw this and weakly reached out to grab her father's hand.

”W-wait, let him explain. . .” She coughed and weakly requested. She turned to the stunned Doctor and gave him a sweet smile, saying, ”Take your time and explain. I trust you wouldn't hurt me.”

Doctor Ye's heart melted at the sight of Yu You Lei's smile. She stood up for him!

”Yo- Sigh, Lei'er, you shouldn't be this kind. . . What if someone takes advantage of you in the future?” The General's eyes softened and he ruffled Yu You Lei's hair.

He turned back to Doctor Ye, his eyes hardening once again.

”Explain.”

Doctor Ye shot a grateful look at Yu You Lei, then dropped to his knees.

He lowered his head and rushed to explain the situation.

”This lowly one was not the one who poisoned the medicine . . . It. . . it was the first young miss, Yu You Jia!”

Although Doctor Ye was arrogant, in the face of absolute power, he could only lower his pride and kneel down.

It was more important for him to stay alive!

”Nonsense!” Yu Jiang Jun had absolute trust in his daughter. He didn't think she'd do such a thing!

”Guards, take him away!”, The General proclaimed, anger clear in his eyes. How dare a lowly doctor like him try and slander his daughter in front of him?

”No! General, have mercy! General!” Doctor Ye trashed around a screamed as he was dragged away by guards.

Yu Jiang Jun watched on coldly as this happened.

For someone to dare and lie to him like that, they better be prepared to face the consequences!

”Wait. . .” Just as Doctor Ye was about to be thrown out of the doors, Yu You Lei spoke again.

She sat up slowly, turning down the help anyone offered her.

The guards paused, looking at Yu Jiang Jun for approval.

With a single nod from him, the guards dragged Doctor Ye back in front of the bed, forcing him to kneel again, this time before Yu You Lei.

Doctor Ye looked up at her in slight gratitude again. She'd saved him twice now!

”What is it, Lei'er?” Yu Jiang Jun asked his daughter gently. As he saw her getting up independently despite being weak, his eyes flashed with pride and satisfaction for a moment.

”A-allow him to explain.” Yu You Lei sat up with great difficulty, and stared coldly at the doctor kneeling before her.

Yu Jiang Jun was confused for a moment. Didn't she believe her sister? Did she think that Yu You Jia would actually use such a heavy hand and poison her own sister? His eyes once again flashed, instead this time with dissatisfaction.

He didn't approve of her distrust toward her own blood related kin.

He was a man who strongly believed in family ties, so his anger wasn't unfounded. He would naively believe anything anyone from his family told him, which was partly the reason he didn't know about Yu You Lei being bullied behind his back.

Yu You Lei smiled on the inside as she looked at that father of hers.

It seemed he was truly only experienced when it came to wars and battles.

This type of strong belief and trust in his family, this type of genuine love, care and concern shown for his children, was rare to find.

Yu You Lei believed the previous owner's words. Her father was truly a good person, at least when it came to family.

Realizing that as time passed, Yu Jiang Jun was beginning to become slightly annoyed, Yu You Lei hastened to explain herself.

”It's not that I don't trust First Sister. I really do, she wouldn't do something like this to me! However, how could we allow someone to slander her like that? If rumours of her poisoning me were to spread out, her reputation would plummet! Only if we clear things up right now, will we be able to keep her safe. . .” Listening to Yu You Lei's explaintion, Yu Jiang Jun's heart shook.
