“Indeed, how can you still be considered human?” A young man from the Yun family, standing beside Yun Qingyue, stepped forward, pointing at Ye Wushuang indignantly. “Second Miss was terrified last night, waking up several times in fright. She is still confined to her bed. And because of you, the eldest miss was punished by the clan head, forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for an entire night.”
“Had it not been for the eldest miss’s plea for mercy, you wouldn’t have just had your limbs broken and your meridians destroyed. You would have been killed on the spot by the clan head. But look at you now!”
Only then did the onlookers fully grasp the gravity of the situation.
“This Ye Wushuang is truly despicable.”
“He is utterly ungrateful, worse than a scoundrel, worse than a beast. On his wedding night, he dared to take advantage of his own sister-in-law…”
“No wonder Master Mo Chuan refuses to treat him. Such a wretch deserves to be flayed alive!”
“The Yun family should have been even harsher with him. Leaving him alive is too lenient!”
Hearing the condemning voices around him, Ye Wushuang’s gaze sharpened into a piercing glare, directed straight at Yun Qingyue.
This woman, who had always supported his family, whom he had always regarded as a close family member, had finally torn off her mask of hypocrisy, hadn’t she?
“Yun Qingyue!”
Ye Wushuang clenched his teeth, looking at her coldly.
“Everyone in Liuyue City knows that I, Ye Wushuang, lack talent. After three years of martial cultivation, I still cannot sense the spiritual energy and haven’t even reached the first level of physical training. Your sister, Yun Ziyan, is only fifteen years old and has already reached the fourth level of physical training. How could I, an ordinary person, possibly drug her and intend to violate her?”
Ye Wushuang spoke coldly, “What schemes does your Yun family have? You know it well! You thought my Ye family still had some precious treasures left after our downfall. But once you realized we had nothing left, you turned your back on us, cast me aside, and even set up such a vicious trap to make me, Ye Wushuang, die with a tarnished reputation!”
“How ruthless!”
“How heartless!”
“Yun Qingyue, I am indeed worse than a scoundrel. I am, because I actually believed in you, in your family’s laughable and hypocritical kindness!”
As soon as Ye Wushuang finished speaking, Yun Qingyue’s eyes turned red. She trembled as she extended her delicate hand, looking at Ye Wushuang in disbelief. Her voice quivered, “Ye Wushuang, I treated you sincerely. Everyone in Liuyue City knows that. Now that you’ve done such a despicable thing, you actually… actually… slander me as the one who harmed you… you…”
Yun Qingyue seemed to be deeply offended by Ye Wushuang’s accusation, and tears began to stream down her face.
The onlookers, seeing this, mostly sided with the “wronged and gentle” eldest miss of the Yun family, and curses against Ye Wushuang were heard all around.
Listening to the barrage of insults, Ye Wushuang let out a bitter smile.
Yun Qingyue was such a skilled actress. It was truly laughable that he had been deceived by her for three years!
“Qingyue!”
At that moment, Liu Yuemei stepped forward, standing in front of Yun Qingyue. She grasped Yun Qingyue’s hands tightly and pleaded, “Qingyue, there must be some misunderstanding. Please, save Wushuang.”
Yun Qingyue’s face showed a look of helplessness as she replied, “Aunt, it’s not that I won’t help, but Ye Wushuang…”
With a sudden thud, Liu Yuemei knelt down on the ground, banging her head repeatedly. Blood began to flow, and her once elegant hair became disheveled.
Ignoring the pain and the mess, Liu Yuemei continued to beg pitifully, “Qingyue, I beg of you, please save Wushuang. There must be some misunderstanding, there has to be. Please, Qingyue…”
