The slowly opened door, but no one stepped forward to look.
The rooms for the pilgrims in Wolong Temple were originally spacious and not as luxurious as those in their own mansion. Moreover, this room was specially selected and even more spacious. The big bed was placed right in the middle of the room, without even a shielding screen. Because of this, everyone could see the situation in the room at a glance.
Ye Amy screamed first.
It could be seen that the clothes on the ground were torn into pieces. The blanket on the bed was casually thrown aside. The books on the table were all swept to the ground. The teapot was also broken, as if it had gone through a catastrophe.
However, the most astonishing thing wasn't this.
The woman on the bed was lying naked. She was almost not covered with the quilt and was half-lying by the bedside. On her back, there were spots of red marks, as well as some bloodstains and bruises, which were shocking to see. There was a bloody whip under the bed that was broken into two halves. Looking at the marks on the woman's body, it could be seen that the whip was broken during the torture.
"Oh my god!" Ye Amy covered her mouth and stepped back: "Who... Who is that... It can't be Big Sister, right?" She suddenly turned to look at Ren Wan Yun.
Since Ye Lily said she exchanged rooms with Ye Cindy, the one in the room at this moment should be Ren Wan Yun. However, everything in front of them clearly indicated that something happened to Ye Cindy! Even she, an unmarried daughter, knew that this scene was clearly the traces of a woman being violated!
Mammy Gui didn't expect there was someone in the room either. Just now when she heard Ye Lily speak, she thought Ye Lily had already agreed with Ren Wan Yun. This was just to enter the room and talk. But as soon as she opened the door and saw a woman, she was already surprised. Could it be that there were other women played by Prince Yu last night? If that was the case, her task would be ruined. But Ye Amy's words almost made her soul fly away. Ye Cindy? The woman lying inside was Ye Cindy?
Yan Mei and Shui Bi, seeing Ye Cindy like this, felt their hearts almost turn cold. If something happened to their young lady, they would surely have no way out. The two looked at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes. They both knelt down and kept kowtowing to Ren Wan Yun.
Ren Wan Yun stood there stunned.
"Second Aunt doesn't want to go forward and take a look?" In the silence, Ye Lily spoke softly. Her tone was calm as if she hadn't seen this tragic scene in front of her. Ren Wan Yun turned her head and saw the young girl looking at her quietly.
Turbulent waves rose in her chest, but she suppressed them extremely quickly. Her face pale, she quickly walked into the room and to the woman half-lying on the bed.
The woman's hair was messy and there were many fallen hairs on the ground. Apparently, a lot of her hair was pulled out. Ren Wan Yun trembled and reached out her hand, turning the woman over.
With a loud "boom", as if reflecting her mood, the rain that had originally stopped suddenly came again. Among the accumulated dark clouds, thunder startled everyone's ears.
Ren Wan Yun closed her eyes in pain. The woman in her arms was exactly Ye Cindy!
The closer she looked, the more shocking it was. Ye Cindy's face was swollen very high, obviously being tortured severely. And looking at her body now, there was not a single piece of intact flesh from top to bottom. And one of her hands was limply folded in a strange posture. It seemed that - it was broken!
Prince Yu was too cruel!
However, the one she hated the most was Ye Lily!
All of this should have been imposed on Ye Lily, but now it was her Qing'er who suffered. Being tortured like this, Ye Cindy's life was almost ruined for the rest of her life. She wished she could bite Ye Lily's neck, drink Ye Lily's blood, and eat Ye Lily's flesh!
Ren Wan Yun was the one in charge of the Ye mansion after all. Even at this time, she could suppress herself from going crazy. Instead, she trembled and ordered Xiang Lan beside her: "Find a carriage and go down the mountain immediately."
"But..." Xiang Lan looked at her fearfully: "Madam, it's raining heavily outside now and we can't travel."
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
Yang Jing Peak, with its high mountains and deep valleys, had a rough road. With the rain washing, it was even more muddy and impossible to move forward. If they forced to go down the mountain, they might have an accident due to the slippery road. In such weather, it was impossible to go out.
"What about Qing'er?" Ren Wan Yun finally couldn't suppress and screamed. She "slapped" and gave Xiang Lan a slap, and said viciously: "Then what about my Qing'er?"
Outside the room, Ye Lily watched quietly.
She stood under the eaves, watching the rain curtain cover the mountains and rivers, as if also covering some dirty schemes.
Originally, she was the one who should have suffered such humiliation. But now it was Ye Cindy who suffered such humiliation because of her.
Having heard that her daughter was violated all night and could have been saved but she stood by and did nothing for the whole night. Every time Ren Wan Yun thought of this, would she feel a heart-piercing pain? Would she feel as painful as when she knew Wan Yu passed away?
Now they wanted to take Ye Cindy back to the city for treatment but had to stay here because of the heavy rain. They couldn't move forward or backward. Ren Wan Yun, who was so smug before, would she feel a bit of despair?
"Go find a doctor! No matter what method you use, go find a doctor! If you can't find a doctor, you'll die here!" Ren Wan Yun screamed at Xiang Lan.
Xiang Lan had followed Ren Wan Yun for so many years and had never been scolded like this by Ren Wan Yun. Feeling both wronged and scared, she covered her face and agreed, then ran out quickly. When she ran out, she couldn't help but take a look at Ye Lily.
Everything was planned. Ye Lily should have stayed here last night. How could it be such a coincidence? Ye Cindy was never an easy-talking person. Now she had a grudge against Ye Lily and would definitely not agree to exchange rooms with her. There must be something strange about this. She saw the plain-clothed young girl standing gracefully. Her eyebrows and eyes were clearly pretty and pleasant, but for some reason, there was an intimidating aura around her.
"Cai Ju, you go and call a few people over and close the door." Ren Wan Yun gritted her teeth and said.
The door was closed. It was like two different worlds inside and outside the door.
Ye Amy still hadn't recovered from that scene. She looked at Ye Lily and couldn't believe it: "Fifth Sister, was Big Sister violated by a bad person?"
Ye Lily didn't answer. Prince Yu really only planned to play with the other person, so he left before dawn. He also understood that for noble ladies, having their reputation ruined by an unknown person was the most terrifying. But presumably Prince Yu wasn't stupid either. He would soon discover the truth. After all, the method of this substitution was really too simple and crude.
She was lost in her thoughts and didn't know that her current appearance in Ye Amy's eyes made Ye Amy tremble. Ye Amy was shocked: "Fifth Sister, could it be that you harmed Big Sister..."
Last night, it was clearly Ye Cindy who stayed in the south pavilion and Ye Lily who stayed in the north pavilion. But in the end, the positions were exchanged and then this happened. If the rooms weren't exchanged, it should have been Ye Lily lying there at this moment. And based on Ye Amy's understanding of Ye Cindy, Ye Cindy would definitely not give her room to Ye Lily.
Could all of this be done by Ye Lily? Ye Amy looked at Ye Lily as if looking at something extremely terrifying.
But she heard Ye Lily chuckle lightly: "Second Sister, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. How could I have such great ability to harm Big Sister? You think too highly of me."
"But..." Ye Amy still had some doubts in her heart. Somehow, she always felt that there was something wrong with Ye Lily. And this incident last night must have something to do with Ye Lily.
"Rather than worrying about these things here, it's better to worry about yourself." Ye Lily said.
"Me?" Ye Amy became nervous: "What about me?"
"Do you think that your two maids can still live after seeing such a private matter of Big Sister?"
"What?"
"It seems that Second Sister really doesn't understand the dangers of the world." Ye Lily chuckled lightly: "Those servants who know the master's secrets, especially those secrets that are ugly, do you think they can live long?"
The faces of Huang Ying and Qing Luan beside Ye Amy turned pale immediately. They naturally knew that in noble families, there were no shortage of those shady and dirty things. Once they were witnessed by the servants, the servants would only have a dead end. Only the dead could keep secrets. Ye Cindy was violated by a bad person and both of them saw it. Naturally, they had no way out.
Ye Amy was greatly shocked. She was just too surprised earlier and actually forgot about this. It wasn't that she was so devoted, but it took a lot of effort to train a personal maid. If they were sacrificed in vain because of this, especially the two most useful ones, how could she be willing?
"Not only them two." Ye Lily smiled slightly and her gaze swept over Yan Mei, Shui Bi, and Mammy Gui present. Her gaze was meaningful: "None of them can escape."
Mammy Gui and the two maids almost fainted.
What was there to be afraid of? When the master succeeds, the servants rise too. But if the master is in trouble, none of the servants can escape. In her previous life, when the Ye family was raided, these bullying servants were also double-crossing. Whoever the master was, they had to accept the corresponding outcome.
Otherwise, if only one person was hurt with one move, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
She turned to leave. Seeing this, Ye Amy hurriedly called out to her: "Where are you going?"
"Didn't we come to Wolong Temple to offer incense?" Ye Lily replied indifferently: "I also have many confusions. Naturally, I need to ask the Buddha and offer an incense stick. It wouldn't be a waste of coming here."
The plain-clothed figure just left like this. The indifferent back didn't stop at all, as if such earth-shattering events had never happened here today. Everything was as planned. Sleep for a night, then offer an incense stick and pray for peace.
"No!" Ye Amy suddenly said: "Her two maids, why aren't they here?"
Mammy Gui was also stunned.
