8 Chapter Seven

"No, it's just that, we still need to clear things up!" Yu You Lei once again explained the rationale behind her interruption, almost infuriating Yu You Jia to death!

This was the third time Doctor Ye's life had been saved by Yu You Lei!

At this point, he was so grateful he could almost cry.

Guilt swallowed him whole as he remembered the harm a moment of his greed could've caused her.

Realizing the guards and Yu You Jia were staring at him with murderous intent, he quickly tried to clear up the whole situation.

He didn't care if he was punished anymore, the truth needed to be revealed! Who asked Yu You Jia to try and push the blame of the whole thing on him?

"General, I will admit everythin-" Just as he was about to speak, the guards suddenly suddenly pulled out a sword each! They raised their swords simutaniously, wanting to kill Doctor Ye right there and then to silence him.

As they were about to bring the sword down, a silk ribbon suddenly wrapped itself around both their hands.

They originally thought with their strength, a measly ribbon wouldn't be able to do much to stop them, but they didn't expect to be unable to move at all! No matter how hard they tried to tug their hands away, the ribbon wouldn't budge.

They could only watch as Doctor Ye was tugged away by a similar ribbon, and before their eyes, their victim escaped from them!

Turning to the owner of the ribbons, they were shocked to see she was actually Yu You Lei, the wastrel!

They wanted to strike out and hit her like they usually would've, but under the intense glare of Yu Jiang Jun, they could only watch with gritting teeth as she gently spoke to Doctor Ye.

"You're okay now, don't worry. Please hurry up and explain, I don't approve of you trying to slander my sister!" Yu You Lei's words started off comforting, but ending in an annoyed tone.

It was clear to see that she sincerely just wanted to get to the bottom of things, despite being annoyed by the process!

The others wanted to question how she managed to use ribbons to stop two blue high-levelled guards from attacking, but held themselves back.

They knew they'd get a chance to ask her later, after the matter was settled.

"Thank you, Fifth Young Miss!" Doctor Ye kowtowed heavily, three times this time round. He felt thankful from the bottom of his heart, and was willing to give up his pride for this young lass who saved his life several times! He valued his life more than anything else, unless it was a matter of getting revenge on someone.

"No need to thank her, just hurry up and explain! What exactly happened?" Yu Yuan Jin furrowed his brows impatiently, wanting to know what actually happened.

The whole situation was confusing to such a degree, nobody knew what to believe!

"Answering Fourth Young Master's question, this lowly one was indeed at fault! It was the Eldest Young Miss who bribed this lowly one into poisoning the medical soup of the Fifth Young Miss, in case she woke up. Yet, she wanted this lowly one to tell everyone the Fifth Young Miss was dead, or had no hope of survival anymore, just so no one would realize the cause of her death was actually the medical soup. After that, she made this lowly one promise to tell the story told earlier. It's only now I realize, I have been completely tricked by her!" Huffing with anger, Doctor Ye glared at Yu You Jia and handed something to Yu Jiang Jun.

"General, please look! This is the agreement we signed, and that is obviously the Eldest Young Miss's signature and handprint!"

Indeed, it seemed to be true.

Even the elegant handwriting was Yu You Jia's, and it wrote out very clearly all the terms to their deal.

Quickly scanning through the whole thing, Yu Jiang Jun raised his head and glared straight at Yu You Jia.

"How dare you try and harm your own sister?" Breathing heavily, it was clear Yu Jiang Jun had suffered a heavy blow. He honestly never knew about his daughter's evil side! He was sure of the truth now. It was exactly as Doctor Ye had said - he himself knew better than anyone his own daughter's handwriting and signature.

"What? Father, what Doctor Ye says is true? Eldest sister was the one who bribed him into harming me and forming such a story?" Yu You Lei's eyes widened in 'shock', making the people Li Juan Tian sent shake their heads. Too great of an actress, really too great.

Nodding gravely, Yu Jiang Jun turned his gaze to Doctor Ye.

"I will let Lei'er do what she wants with you. From now on, you must follow all her orders!" Yu Jiang Jun demanded, deciding to let his daughter choose the doctor's punishment.

Kowtowing once more, Doctor Ye actually thanked the General for the punishment. It was better than being killed at that instant. Right?

He looked over to the shocked Yu You Lei, and decided to continue kneeling and keep his head down for now. She didn't look to be in the best condition.

"H-how could this be? Sister, did you rea-" Yu You Lei looked around for Yu You Jia, and let out a gasp.

"Sister? What are you doing?" Yu You Jia was halfway climbing out the window, obviously looking to escape! Yu You Lei couldn't help but shake her head on the inside. Truly an idiot, I wonder how she survived all these years. Oh, now she remembers - her mother helped her.

Such a shame Li Min Hui didn't follow her daughter over. Otherwise, she possibly could've turned the situation around.

"Slander! Pure slander!" Jumping back on to the floor, she screamed these words hysterically while pointing at Doctor Ye. The spotlight was turned back to Yu You Jia by Yu You Lei in a few words.

"I will kill you for daring to slander me like this!" Raising a hand, a ball of blue energy began to gather on her palm.

Who would expect, with a single glare from the General, the ball of energy disappeared?

"Slander? Isn't the evidence right there? If it is fake, then why were you trying to escape?" Yu Jiang Jun pointed out these points, glare softening for a moment.

He didn't want to believe his own daughter would do such a thing, and offered her a chance to explain herself first. Her trying to escape showed she was truly guilty, yet, maybe she had a reason to try and do so?

"That's because. . . That's because. . . I was too infuriated by that sl*t! That's right, I was too infuriated by Yu You Lei and had no choice but to leave! She obviously worked with Doctor Ye to try and bring me down, all because I told everyone she had lost her chastity!"

"Are you saying Lei'er was the one who framed you? She wanted the doctor to poison her, and diagnose her as unable to ever recover?" In obvious disbelief, Yu Jiang Jun overlooked the fact that Yu You Jia referred to her sister as 'sl*t'.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying!" At this point, Yu You Jia's white lotus act had completely fallen apart. Without her mother there to help her keep it up, it fell apart very quickly.

Yu Jiang Jun wanted to speak. The evidence was literally right there, and she still had the face to deny? He was hoping his daughter would say something sensible to explain the situation, but she actually went on to scream and blame her wastrel of a sister!

Just before he could begin issuing out a punishment for Yu You Lei. . .

"Fifth Young Miss! Wake up!"
