8 Chapter Seven (1/2)
”No, it's just that, we still need to clear things up!” Yu You Lei once again explained the rationale behind her interruption, almost infuriating Yu You Jia to death!
This was the third time Doctor Ye's life had been saved by Yu You Lei!
At this point, he was so grateful he could almost cry.
Guilt swallowed him whole as he remembered the harm a moment of his greed could've caused her.
Realizing the guards and Yu You Jia were staring at him with murderous intent, he quickly tried to clear up the whole situation.
He didn't care if he was punished anymore, the truth needed to be revealed! Who asked Yu You Jia to try and push the blame of the whole thing on him?
”General, I will admit everythin-” Just as he was about to speak, the guards suddenly suddenly pulled out a sword each! They raised their swords simutaniously, wanting to kill Doctor Ye right there and then to silence him.
As they were about to bring the sword down, a silk ribbon suddenly wrapped itself around both their hands.
They originally thought with their strength, a measly ribbon wouldn't be able to do much to stop them, but they didn't expect to be unable to move at all! No matter how hard they tried to tug their hands away, the ribbon wouldn't budge.
They could only watch as Doctor Ye was tugged away by a similar ribbon, and before their eyes, their victim escaped from them!
Turning to the owner of the ribbons, they were shocked to see she was actually Yu You Lei, the wastrel!
They wanted to strike out and hit her like they usually would've, but under the intense glare of Yu Jiang Jun, they could only watch with gritting teeth as she gently spoke to Doctor Ye.
”You're okay now, don't worry. Please hurry up and explain, I don't approve of you trying to slander my sister!” Yu You Lei's words started off comforting, but ending in an annoyed tone.
It was clear to see that she sincerely just wanted to get to the bottom of things, despite being annoyed by the process!
The others wanted to question how she managed to use ribbons to stop two blue high-levelled guards from attacking, but held themselves back.
They knew they'd get a chance to ask her later, after the matter was settled.
”Thank you, Fifth Young Miss!” Doctor Ye kowtowed heavily, three times this time round. He felt thankful from the bottom of his heart, and was willing to give up his pride for this young lass who saved his life several times! He valued his life more than anything else, unless it was a matter of getting revenge on someone.
”No need to thank her, just hurry up and explain! What exactly happened?” Yu Yuan Jin furrowed his brows impatiently, wanting to know what actually happened.
The whole situation was confusing to such a degree, nobody knew what to believe!
”Answering Fourth Young Master's question, this lowly one was indeed at fault! It was the Eldest Young Miss who bribed this lowly one into poisoning the medical soup of the Fifth Young Miss, in case she woke up. Yet, she wanted this lowly one to tell everyone the Fifth Young Miss was dead, or had no hope of survival anymore, just so no one would realize the cause of her death was actually the medical soup. After that, she made this lowly one promise to tell the story told earlier. It's only now I realize, I have been completely tricked by her!” Huffing with anger, Doctor Ye glared at Yu You Jia and handed something to Yu Jiang Jun.
”General, please look! This is the agreement we signed, and that is obviously the Eldest Young Miss's signature and handprint!”
Indeed, it seemed to be true.
