C9 The Wrong Man

"I say, this matter is consensual, why do you need to say it?" Li Changle looked around, then looked at Ye Yujiao again and laughed.

"Consistent? Do you mean that I like you, an old man who is already forty years old?" Hearing Li Changle's shameless words, Ye Yujiao could not believe it. She stared at him with her red eyes, "I went to the flower room to look for someone, you drugged me and did such a thing to me, yet you still dare to say that you are consensual!"

As she spoke, Ye Yujiao cried again and again, lying on her mother's body and wailing. Her heart was filled with hatred. In such a situation, Li Changle still dared to slander her and continue to damage her reputation.

"Heh." Hearing this, Li Changle snorted, "If you had agreed to marry me earlier, why would I do this? This is good, you can marry me directly!"

"Agree to marry me?" Lady Wen was curious, "Didn't you say that you wanted to marry Yujing?"

Seeing Lady Wen's question, Concubine Qiao secretly cursed, "Not good! Ye Yuning must have framed Yujiao and wanted Yujiao to marry Li Changle, so that she wouldn't have to be the stepmother! Everyone knows that Li Changle fell in love with Ye Yuning at first sight! If there was no one who could stop this marriage, then she would have to marry Li Changle sooner or later! But if this person was her own sister, Li Changle would not be able to have any thoughts!" The guests around were all stunned. Concubine Qiao continued to add fuel to the fire, "That's right! Ye Yuning is not here! He must have fled for fear of punishment! It must be Ye Yuning!"

However, Li Changle could not understand the look in the eyes of the Concubine Qiao, so he continued to ask with a silly expression, "What does this have to do with Ye Yujiao?"

Lady Lu glanced at Li Changle and waved her hand for the servant to go find Ye Yuning. Then she looked at the official's wife standing by the side, "Madam Liang, may I trouble you to go find Third Miss Ye with my servant?"

"Of course." Madam Liang nodded and let the servant beside her follow Lady Lu.

"Who is this?" Lady Lu stood in front of Li Changle and Ye Yujiao, pointed at Ye Yujiao with a serious expression, and said, "Master Lu's wife is here. If you don't answer all of the questions one by one, I will immediately turn you into a prisoner and let Master Lu investigate this matter!"

Such a thing!

It was best to settle it privately. If it was reported to the yamen, then it would be a different situation. At that time, not only would it affect one's reputation, it would also affect the family and even more.

The power of the Lu Residence and the Li Residence was equal. Li Changle should not be afraid of Lady Lu, but since this matter had happened in the Lu Residence, Li Changle's position naturally had to be lower than Lady Lu's. He could not act like a hooligan.

Thinking of this, Li Changle felt extremely aggrieved, but he had no choice but to answer. Glancing at Ye Yujiao, Li Changle ignored Concubine Qiao's gaze and shouted, "Ye Yuning!"

"Eh?"

Ye Yuning walked out of the room, surrounded by four servants, with a confused expression on her face. Hearing this, she turned around and looked at the source of the sound.

Looking at Ye Yujiao and Li Changle who were in a mess, Ye Yuning was surprised. Her hazy eyes suddenly became clear.

Walking in front of Lady Wen, Ye Yuning stood beside her and looked at the two of them. She asked in confusion, "Mother, Sister Yujiao and Master Li are …"

"Where was Third Miss Ye just now?" Lady Lu looked at Ye Yuning and turned to ask the two servants.

"We found Third Miss Ye at Qingfeng Pavilion. Third Miss Ye's maid said that she was tired a while ago and went to Qingfeng Pavilion to sleep." After pausing for a moment, the maid added, "I asked the guards downstairs, and they also said so."

Lady Lu nodded and let the maid go back to her own place.

Hearing that, Lady Wen looked at Li Changle and Concubine Qiao with extreme anger, "Ye Yuning? Ha! It seems that someone wants to harm my family's Yu Ning!"

"Isn't this Ye Yuning?" Li Changle was shocked and looked at Ye Yujiao, then at the crowd, "Isn't this Ye Yuning?"

"Sister Yujiao, when did you call Ye Yuning? I am Ye Yuning." No one could explain to Ye Yuning what was going on. Ye Yuning could only look around at his mother and Fei Xiu, "What happened to Master Li and Sister Yujiao?"

As for Fei Qing, she had already heard everything from the other maidservants. She immediately whispered into Ye Yuning's ear and explained everything to her.

Hearing this, Ye Yuning's eyes opened wider and wider, and when she heard the end, she immediately took a step back, "Strictly adulterous?"

"..."

In the end, Ye Yuning did not shout out the next words. She had already been pulled by Fei Xiu.

Li Changle, on the other hand, was completely unable to accept the truth. He stepped forward and took the blue and white silk draped over Ye Yujiao's shoulders, showing it to everyone, "I clearly followed Ye Yuning into the flower room! I remembered this silk when Ye Yuning entered the residence! How could I have followed the wrong person! "

Madam Liang had been watching the interrogation the entire time. At this moment, when she saw Li Changle's actions, she couldn't help but ask, "Silk? You only recognize silk, but don't you recognize the Third Miss Ye? After fainting, you can't even tell the Third Miss Ye and the Eighth Miss Ye? "

"I … I …" Li Changle was unable to answer. He looked at the silk in his hand, and could not help but cast his gaze towards the Concubine Qiao.

However, when Ye Yujiao saw this silk, she struggled out of the embrace of the Concubine Qiao in shock. She snatched the silk and looked at it over and over again, then glared fiercely at Ye Yuning, "Bitch, you dare to harm me!"

Everyone saw a figure flash by, and Ye Yujiao appeared in front of Ye Yuning. Her raised palm was about to fall on Ye Yujiao's snow-white face.

Ye Yuning wanted to dodge, but there were people on both sides, so she could only close her eyes.

"How can you hit me as you wish?"

A dissatisfied male voice sounded beside her ear, carrying a hint of ridicule and disgust. Ye Yuning opened her eyes, and a shadow enveloped her from behind. The man's face was like jade, and his sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, but his eyes were filled with a hint of cynicism.

He grabbed Ye Yujiao's palm that was about to hit her, and pressed his fingertips tightly onto Ye Yujiao's wrist, pushing her away. When Ye Yujiao was thrown out, her footsteps were unsteady, and she fell onto the ground. Her hair and clothes were completely polluted by the mud.

Ye Yuning was startled, and her lips trembled. Ye Yujiao thanked him blankly, "Thank you …"

The man smiled and said, "Saving a beauty is what a hero should do."

Ye Yuning did not know what she should say, but the man had already turned around and returned to the crowd.

Ye Yujiao got up from the ground. She ignored her ugly face and tightly held the blue and white silk in her hands. She pointed at Ye Yuning and scolded, "Bitch! This silk was given to me by you! You must know that Li Changle is following you! You let me wear it to let Li Changle follow you! "
