When Ye Lily met Ye Amy early this morning, she said that Jing Zhe and Gu Yu had gone to the kitchen to get food and hadn't appeared until now. They didn't know about what happened to Ye Cindy here. Now think about it, how could it be such a coincidence? The maids of Ye Cindy and Ye Amy witnessed the ugly incident and couldn't escape, but none of Ye Lily's maids were there. It was clearly that she deliberately sent them away.

She knew long ago that this would happen today. She knew long ago that Ye Cindy would have an accident. Ye Cindy's current situation was arranged by her!

Ye Amy looked back. Walking along the eaves, there was no figure of Ye Lily. But that clear yet sharp gaze seemed to appear in front of her, making her involuntarily feel a chill.

...

The rain finally stopped at noon.

Xiang Lan searched the entire mountain but couldn't find a doctor. Usually, except for the occasional pilgrims, this place was rarely visited. When the monks in the temple got sick, they just grabbed some herbal medicine and fried it to eat. Xiang Lan couldn't find a doctor and had to ask the monks for some calming medicinal materials and external injury medicine for Ye Cindy.

The room was filled with the smell of medicinal materials and a certain strange smell. Even though it had been cleaned, the smell still lingered for a long time. The woman on the bed had her eyes closed. Ren Wanyun sat by the window. In just a few hours, she seemed to have aged ten years between her eyebrows.

The maids in the room didn't dare to breathe loudly. After such a big incident, it was hard to guarantee that the master wouldn't vent her anger.

When Ren Wanyun was staring blankly at the curtain, suddenly, Ye Cindy on the bed moved. She hurriedly lowered her head and called, "Qing'er?"

Ye Cindy opened her eyes. Seeing Ren Wanyun at first glance, she showed a frightened expression and reached out to scratch Ren Wanyun's face, "Let me go, go away! Help!"

"Qing'er, I'm your mother! I'm your mother! Don't be afraid. Mother is here!" Ren Wanyun's heart was like a knife. But Ye Cindy seemed not to know. She just struggled vigorously, stared at the ceiling all the time and screamed crazily.

Xiang Lan and Cai Ju hurriedly came forward to help hold her down. Ye Cindy was like crazy and had no sense at all. She didn't even recognize Ren Wanyun. With her struggle, all the medicine that was just applied was smeared. Those bloody wounds were all exposed in front of Ren Wanyun. Ren Wanyun's face immediately showed a painful expression and couldn't help screaming "ah".

"Madam." Xiang Lan and Cai Ju were shocked and frightened. Ren Wanyun had always been decisive. No matter what big thing happened, she could handle it calmly. She had seen many big waves over the years. But now she was forced to this point. The two maids who had followed Ren Wanyun for many years couldn't help being shocked.

"Where is Ye Lily?" Ren Wanyun asked angrily.

"Fifth Miss... is in the temple hall." Cai Ju said carefully.

"Take good care of Qing'er. If she has any more accidents, you two don't have to live." Ren Wanyun turned and went out of the door.

...

In the Buddha hall, the huge golden Buddha statue stood majestically, looking down on the believers with kind eyes.

In front of the straw cushion, Ye Lily knelt on the ground, holding incense in her hand, but didn't know what she was thinking.

From morning till now, she had knelt here for several hours.

"Miss, it's better to get up and have a rest." Jing Zhe persuaded, "It's not worth it to hurt your body by kneeling. The Buddha must have already seen your sincerity. What you ask for will surely come true."

What is asked for will surely come true? Hearing this, Ye Lily pulled out a wry smile. What she asked for could never come true. The mistakes of her previous life. Although she had a chance to start over in this life, in the already wrong life, those who passed away would not come back. Her Wan Yu, her Xu Yi, could they have a chance to start over?

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

I'm afraid they had already turned into a glimmer in this vast world of mortals, leaving nothing behind.

Besides, she wasn't a believer.

Ye Lily looked up at the huge golden Buddha statue. It was just a cold statue and couldn't really save all beings. If Heaven had eyes, how could it let good people have a tragic ending? But bad people were at ease?

She knelt here, constantly offering incense stick by incense stick. She wasn't worshipping the Buddha, but the deceased in her previous life. Those who died because of her.

Since her rebirth, she didn't have any chance or reason to worship these people, including her non-existent children. Now being here, she used the incense in front of the Buddha to memorialize the deceased.

"Ye Lily!" An angry voice suddenly burst in.

Ye Lily smiled. People in this world were always impatient.

She rubbed her sore knees, stood up, turned her head and looked at Ren Wanyun in front of her with a smile, "Second Aunt."

Seeing Ye Lily's smile, Ren Wanyun felt even more annoyed. She strode forward and raised her palm to slap Ye Lily in the face.

It was too late for Jing Zhe and Gu Yu to stop when they wanted to. But the expected清脆 slap sound didn't appear. Ye Lily forcefully grabbed Ren Wanyun's arm and the palm stopped right in front of her.

"Second Aunt is so impulsive. I don't know why. Although you can discipline me on behalf of my parents, but hitting someone without saying a word, I'm afraid there is no such rule even in an ordinary family." She said.

Ren Wanyun never expected that Ye Lily would actually stop her slap. The girl in front of her was slender but holding her arm hurt a lot. That original meek, easy-to-please and easy-to-control cousin didn't know when she had grown taller. She couldn't look at her with the condescending gaze as before. Even if she was not careful, she would be plotted against by this seemingly ruthless little bitch.

She unwillingly put down her hand and gritted her teeth, "Ye Lily, don't play dumb. Qing'er's matter, was it done by you?"

Now Ye Cindy was unconscious and couldn't know how things got to this point. But Ren Wanyun also knew that if this matter had nothing to do with Ye Lily, she wouldn't believe it even if she was killed. She didn't know what method Ye Lily used. But she moved Ye Cindy and made Ye Cindy like this. She certainly wouldn't let it go!

"Eldest Sister was harmed by the villains. I'm also very sorry. But why does Second Aunt suspect me?" Ye Lily smiled slightly, "After all, if I hadn't exchanged rooms with Eldest Sister, the one who was victimized today would be me. Such a dangerous thing, I can't do it."

The one who was victimized today would be me!

It was better not to say this. As soon as she said this, Ren Wanyun felt a sharp pain in her head. She clenched her hands tightly and her eyes were like venomous snakes, "That should have been what you endured. It was you who let Qing'er be harmed instead of you."

Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were shocked and angry when they saw Ren Wanyun like this. They were shocked that this Second Madam who always pretended to be kind tore off her mask and was so cruel. They were angry that if it weren't for Ye Lily's vigilance last night, the three of them, master and servants, wouldn't have a good ending today. But Ren Wanyun actually blamed. This was simply the villain suing first and had no shame at all!

"Second Aunt mustn't say such things. The Buddha is here." Ye Lily chuckled. Between her flowing eyes, there seemed to be a strange light, "Everything in this world has its conclusion. It wasn't me but Eldest Sister who had an accident last night. Maybe it was destined. Second Aunt doesn't blame the villains or the fate but blames me. What kind of reasoning is this?"

Ren Wanyun was almost driven crazy by Ye Lily. She sneered, "You have a sharp tongue. I underestimated you before."

"Oh, that's how Second Aunt saw me." Ye Lily smiled indifferently.

Ren Wanyun looked at Ye Lily in front of her. The girl in plain clothes had a gentle expression. The delicate features were beginning to show. She had already started to shed her original greenness. Somehow, that stupid and foolish Ye Lily had completely disappeared. In the past, there was no trace of the old Ye Lily in this person. She had played power games in the backyard for so many years and for the first time, she was defeated by a little girl at such a painful cost. And the more graceful Ye Lily was, the more it reminded her of the tragedy of Ye Cindy lying on the bed.

"Ye Lily, if you pretend to be confused but actually understand, I might as well tell you honestly." Ren Wanyun suddenly sneered. Since they had torn their faces, there was no need to put on a kind mask. She said, "Do you think this matter is over? The old lady won't let you go. Your Second Uncle won't let you go. That person... won't let you go either. Your ending will surely be tens of thousands of times more tragic than Qing'er. You will surely... be slept by thousands of people and always be a lowly bitch!"

"Madam, be careful with your words!" Jing Zhe and Gu Yu spoke at the same time. Ren Wanyun was the Second Madam of the Ye family. Anyway, Ye Gui was also an official. Ren Wanyun usually looked kind and noble. But she actually said such vicious and vulgar curses. It was no different from an enemy. Ye Lily was still young. How could her ears be dirtied by such foul language?

It seemed that Ren Wanyun only noticed Jing Zhe and Gu Yu at this time. She sneered, "You even took great pains to protect the two maids. I'll see how long you can protect them!" After saying this, she gave Ye Lily a strange look, turned and left with a flick of her sleeves.
