Chen Ruoqiu thought that if Ye Lily and the second branch were both defeated and hurt, then her Ye Amy would truly have an easy time in the Ye Mansion. After all, in their third branch, Ye Wan's power was not as great as that of the eldest branch, and the number of children was not as many as that of the second branch. If they didn't use some means, this huge Ye Mansion would only benefit others.

Ren Wanyun was crying and kowtowing to Old Madam Shen, "Look, Fifth Young Lady hates us so much. She harmed Qing'er but doesn't repent. She even wants to ruin my husband's reputation. So arrogant. Clearly, she's bullying us by relying on Eldest Uncle. Could it be that she learned this from Eldest Uncle? How could a young girl like her know so much? There must be someone behind her teaching her to do this. We supported each other with Eldest Uncle's family. How could they treat us like this..."

Ren Wanyun's crying was very dramatic, placing herself in a weak position. The stronger she usually was, the more her weakness shown at this moment made people believe what she said was true.

Unfortunately, she mentioned Ye Xin.

A dragon has reverse scales. Now, Ye Xin was Ye Lily's reverse scale.

Her gaze swept over the people in Rong Jing Tang. They were eyeing hungrily. They were a family. They could turn black into white and the dead into the living. Surrounded by them, she was like a piece of fat meat at the mouth of hungry wolves.

But what could all these smooth talk do? There were so many talkative women in the harem. How many of them remained in the end? How many of them became the fertilizer under the flourishing flowers in the imperial garden?

"Second Aunt keeps saying that I harmed Eldest Sister. Then let me ask Second Aunt a few questions. Can Second Aunt answer them for me?"

Ren Wanyun was stunned. Meeting Ye Lily's clear eyes, for some reason, she actually felt a little guilty. But when she saw the people around, she felt relieved again. All the people here were on her side. What ability did Ye Lily have to turn the world upside down?

"You ask." She wiped her tears.

"OK." Ye Lily's lips curved, "Let me ask. That day, Second Aunt was staying right next to Eldest Sister's room, very close. If something happened, why didn't Second Aunt hear it?"

Ren Wanyun froze.

"If Eldest Sister resisted, she would surely make sounds. That day, Eldest Sister had many injuries all over her body. She would surely struggle and call for help. Second Aunt was so close. Why didn't you hear it? Could it be that you heard it but were too tired to come and take a look?"

"You..." Ren Wanyun opened her mouth to refute but her palms sweated a lot immediately.

"Of course, maybe Second Aunt didn't hear the call for help at all. Why? Naturally because Eldest Sister didn't call for help at all. Why didn't Eldest Sister call for help? Could it be that she knew the villain?"

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

"You're talking nonsense!" This time, Ren Wanyun couldn't hold back anymore and sharply interrupted Ye Lily's words.

Ye Gui and Ye Wan were men after all. Their minds weren't as meticulous as women's. They didn't think much about these matters in the backyard. But Chen Ruoqiu and Ren Wanyun almost immediately understood. Looking at Ye Lily, their eyes were full of fear. Naturally, the former was shocked and the latter was afraid.

What Ye Lily said was terrifying. Yes, that day, Ren Wanyun and Ye Cindy's rooms were so close. If Ye Cindy called for help, how could she not be heard? If she was heard, why didn't she go and take a look? Could it be that Ren Wanyun did it on purpose? Ren Wanyun naturally wouldn't deliberately harm her own daughter. But originally, it should have been Ye Lily staying there. Ren Wanyun had no reason to harm her own daughter but it wasn't impossible to harm her cousin. Ye Lily said this directly and the secret plans in Ren Wanyun's heart were exposed to everyone without any cover.

And the other possibility she assumed, Ye Cindy didn't call for help at all. Why? Being insulted like this but not calling for help. Could it be on purpose? Why on purpose? This kind of thing, if it's said lightly, it's being insulted by the villain. If it's said seriously, maybe even the charge that Ye Cindy deliberately had an affair with someone would come out!

This world was especially hard for women. Better safe than sorry. Once the rumors started, it would be very difficult to stop them.

Ye Lily smiled slightly, "Second Aunt, I think there are many doubts in this matter. Since Second Uncle is also fair and reasonable, why don't you send me to the governor of the yamen and have an open trial? I will surely tell the adults everything I know exactly and let the adults decide. Maybe even who the villain is can be known."

"No!" Ren Wanyun and Ye Gui said at the same time.

Ren Wanyun said no. Naturally, she was afraid of complications. If Ye Lily said what she just said, any discerning person could see the trick. There were many big families in the capital. It was fine to hide and cover these things. Once they spread, it wasn't that no one could see the truth that she wanted to harm her cousin. Besides, if this matter was really said out. Ye Cindy's innocence would be gone. With those rumors and gossip, Ye Cindy was afraid that she would end her own life with a white silk.

Ye Gui said no but his thoughts were completely different from Ren Wanyun's. He was only afraid that this matter would involve Prince Yu. Now Prince Yu was finally willing to promote him because of Ye Lily. This matter was already botched. Ye Lily and Ye Cindy's identities were swapped. Prince Yu would surely be furious when he knew the truth. If he was involved in any case and caused trouble for Prince Yu for no reason, Ye Gui was afraid that his official career would be extremely difficult.

Therefore, the couple, who were just aggressive a moment ago, unanimously stopped Ye Lily's suggestion.

"Then what does Second Uncle want to do?" Ye Lily's gaze swept over the thick and long whip in Ye Gui's hand and asked carelessly, "Do you still want to use the family rules?"

The people in the room were silent for a moment. Ye Amy stared at Ye Lily in disbelief.

Even Ye Amy could see that she was threatening!

As if confirming everyone's surprise, Ye Lily chuckled softly, "If Second Uncle wants to use the family rules, there's nothing I can do. But I have always been a stubborn person. That villain wants me to bear the crime that doesn't belong to me. When Father comes back, I will surely think of a way to report to the yamen."

The meaning of her words was: Today, if Ye Gui beats her, when Ye Xin comes back, she will surely file a complaint. She might even persuade Ye Xin to report to the yamen. Saying that it was to report the villain, who knew who she would report in the end?

"Second Uncle, do you want to use the family rules or not? If you do, please do it quickly." There were smiles in Ye Lily's clear eyes and her words carried a vague mockery, "After all, with so many people, I can't escape anyway."

It was almost like describing the people in Rong Jing Tang as bandits. As if the next moment they would order someone to hold Ye Lily down and give her a beating.
