"Yunjiao, you disappoint me. You're my sister, but you're laughing at me like an outsider."
Her parents had taken care of Ye Yunjiao, but she had no conscience.
Their family treated her so well, but they raised an ingrate.
Madam Ye frowned and changed to a handkerchief to gently press on her daughter's bleeding forehead.
When she looked at Ye Yunjiao again, her tone became more severe.
"Yunjiao, you must be tired. Go back to your room and rest first. Your sister is in a bad mood. Don't make things difficult for her here."
Ye Yunjiao's face darkened and her hands clenched into fists.
Was she here to make things difficult for Ye Yining?
As expected, this woman only cared about Ye Yining. She didn't treat her as her daughter at all.
Her heart was filled with anger, but she endured it. On the surface, she was still calm and obedient.
"I understand. I won't disturb my sister here. Mother, I'll go back to my room first."
Madam Ye nodded, not paying much attention to Ye Yunjiao's attitude.
When Ye Yining saw Ye Yunjiao's clenched fists, she frowned slightly.
It turned out that Ye Yunjiao was already very hostile towards her at this time!
In her previous life, she actually didn't notice anything. She was really stupid!
Did she know that she wasn't a member of the Ye family now?
Thinking of this, she suddenly said,
"Mother, when I was knocked unconscious in the ancestral hall, I vaguely heard a female voice. That person's voice sounded like Yunjiao."
Ye Yunjiao stopped in her tracks and Madam Ye's face darkened.
"Ye Yining, are you serious?"
Before Ye Yining could reply, Ye Yunjiao screamed,
"Nonsense!"
At this moment, the servant girl who was supporting Ye Yunjiao, Xi Jian, also quickly spoke up for her young miss.
"Eldest Young Miss must have heard wrongly. This servant has always been with the Second Young Miss. We haven't been to the Yun Ancestral Hall at all."
Ye Yining covered her bleeding forehead and laughed lightly.
"You didn't go? If you didn't go, why did you see a masked man go to the ancestral hall?"
"Yes... It was this servant who saw it and told the Second Young Lady. The Second Miss was worried about the Eldest Miss and wanted to send some food over."
"Then you were the one who knocked me out?" Ye Yining looked at Xi Jian coldly.
This dog was Ye Yunjiao's minion. She had suffered a lot from her before she died.
It seemed that she had to think of a way to get rid of her.
Ye Yunjiao was so angry that her eyes turned red when she saw Ye Yining and she bit her lips.
"Mother, elder sister must have lost too much blood to speak nonsense. Xi Jian and I didn't go to the ancestral hall. We saw a masked man go there, so we informed you immediately."
Madam Ye looked at Ye Yunjiao's tearful face and waved her hand in frustration.
"Go and rest! Your father will investigate this matter!"
Ye Yunjiao was shocked and scared. She gritted her teeth and said,
"The only person in the capital who wears that mask is Jun Jiuji."
Many people knew that Jun Jiuji liked her sister. The man who died in the ancestral hall must have wanted to impersonate Jun Jiuji and take advantage of her sister.
"Father and Mother had better deal with it properly!"
After saying that, she rubbed her eyes and left them red.
That look was as aggrieved as she could be!
Madam Ye's face darkened and she didn't say anything. When her gaze fell on Ye Yining, she sighed with a heartache.
Even if her daughter didn't want to marry Mo Huanchong, she couldn't marry Jun Jiuji!
Jun Jiuji of Thousand Gold City was a terrifying and mysterious person.
But such a person actually gave Ye Yining a gift!
Ye Yining fell silent. A cold mask suddenly popped up in her mind. She couldn't see his face clearly, but she felt that it was familiar.
That man always appeared mysteriously when she needed help and left quietly.
Sometimes, he would bully her and even touch her…
She had always wanted to see his face under the mask.
Before she died, she actually saw it.
At that time, she saw that extremely cold man hugging her corpse and crying…
At the thought of this, she closed her eyes in discomfort.
She had actually mistook the wrong person and liked the wrong person all along…
She had always thought that the person who was secretly protecting her was that scumbag Mo Huanchong!
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the judge from the Rong Hospital came over.
After carefully examining the wound on Ye Yining's forehead, the hospital judge, who had been a doctor for decades, fell silent.
This girl's wound couldn't be treated with medicine!
Without medicine, it naturally couldn't stop the bleeding.
After pondering for a long time, the judge proposed a plan to General Ye.
"General, why don't you enter the palace and ask the Emperor to bestow a special blood-staunching pill from Xi Liang?"
General Ye loved his daughter dearly and immediately entered the palace in the heavy rain.
The blood didn't stop. Ye Yining was also a little anxious.
Normally, she would feel dizzy after bleeding for such a long time, right?
But in fact, she did not.
On the contrary, she felt that her body was filled with energy and warmth. She was so comfortable that she wanted to sleep.
"Mother, I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes." Ye Yining jumped off the bed.
Madam Ye quickly held onto her and called out,
"Chunlai, help Miss to bathe and change her clothes."
When Ye Yining heard the name Chunlai, she suddenly remembered something.
Although Chunlai was her personal maid, she had received Ye Yunjiao's favor and was loyal to her.
Thinking of this, she quickly said,
"Mother, Chunlai is too annoying. She's usually like a block of wood. She's not smart at all. I don't want her to wait on me anymore. Let her go to Yunjiao's place. She usually likes to serve Yun Jiao during spring. I'm Father's daughter. I'm very capable of taking care of myself. I just need to bathe myself."
Madam Ye's expression was slightly startled. She felt that her daughter was a little different from usual today!
However, Chunlai was indeed a little wooden. When her daughter was whipping Jun Jiuji, she just watched from the side. She didn't even know to come back early to report.
With this in mind, she immediately agreed to her daughter's request.
"Then let her go to Yunjiao's room! Ye Yining, you're still bleeding. Mother will help you wash it."
Madam Ye found clothes for her daughter and prepared to personally take care of her daughter's bath.
When Ye Yining heard this, she quickly waved her hand.
"Mother, I'm really fine. If I really lost too much blood and felt unwell, how would I have the strength to talk to you! I'm just a little hungry. Why don't I go to the kitchen and see what delicious food there is?"
"Alright, alright! Mother will go immediately."
Madam Ye saw that her daughter was indeed in good condition, so she got up and went to the kitchen.
…
In the bathroom.
Ye Yining had just taken off her blood-stained coat when her arm was grabbed and pulled back.
"Don't move!"
The magnetic and warning male voice made Ye Yining's body stiffen and she completely forgot to react.
The owner of this voice was…
She slowly raised her eyes and was surprised to see a terrifying black demon mask with a pair of eyes that were overflowing with cold light, as if they were filled with polar ice and snow.
His eyes were cold, but they gave off an indescribable sense of nobility and mystery.
She couldn't see his face clearly, but it was exactly the same as Jun Jiuji in her memory.
He was… Ye Shiyi!
