Ye Jingru's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.
In a single night, Ye Zizai seemed to have become a completely different person. In the past, he would never have said such words to her. In his eyes, only his mother was his wife.
Wasn't that woman, who had died long ago, a piece of cake in his heart?
However, Ye Zhenzheng would say these words in front of her. She could clearly hear each word. It was like a bucket of cold water poured on her face. She couldn't help but tremble.
Ye Jingru took a step back and looked at Ye Shisui in disbelief.
Looking at Ye Jingru's dazed expression, Ye Shisui finally realized that he might have said too much. However, the guilt in his heart lasted only for a moment, and Ye Zizai's cold face quickly returned to normal.
What Ye Jingru did today was too much.
And once the true face of the Xie family was exposed, it was mostly Ye Zhenzi's guilt towards that woman.
He should feel guilty about that woman who was long dead.
The Xie Clan had deceived him for so long, his death was not to be regretted! Ye Zhenzi's heart sank, including Ye Jinru's position.
Today, in front of his servants, Ye JinRu had actually made a move on him. With such a huge situation, no matter how severe his punishment was, it would not be excessive. Ye JinRu dared to mention the Xie family's name in front of him over and over again, repeatedly slapping his face.
Ye JinRu swallowed a mouthful of blood and finally bowed her head while gritting her teeth, "Yes, it was my daughter who overstepped her limits."
However, the two hands by her side were tightly clenched. Ye Jinru wished that Ye Jinsu would disappear from the face of the earth. If not for Ye Jinsu, she would still be the most doted on young miss in the entire mansion, and her mother would be the most doted on young mistress!
It was all because of her!
Ye Jinru was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but she could only say, "Daughter is wrong. I was just muddle-headed for a moment, please forgive me."
Seeing that Ye Jingru had given in, Ye Mo's expression finally eased up a little.
This matter was not a small matter, so he naturally could not leave it at that. However, he couldn't do it as he pleased. After pondering for a while, he suddenly glared at Ye JinRu.
"Since you know your wrongs, then kneel here and reflect on it." Kneel until tomorrow at this hour, and think carefully about what you have done wrong! "
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he turned around and left.
Ye Jingru's eyes widened as she stood on the spot, seemingly unable to believe what she had just heard.
Ye Zheng told her to kneel here for the whole day?
Was he really going to punish her like this?
Ye Shisui had already walked away, leaving the butler to supervise and urge her on. "Second Miss, you should kneel down and take your punishment. Don't let Master know and be angry."
Clenching her fists tightly, fury gushed out from Ye Jingru's eyes once more. Staring in the direction of Ye Jingru's courtyard, she knelt down.
Ye Jinsu was lying on her bed, and Ren Menglan examined her wound carefully. After confirming that there were no major problems, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The wound wasn't deep, and it was just a little bit of blood. Now that the bleeding had stopped and the medicine had been applied, the pain was no longer painful.
He did not expect Ye JinRu to be this crazy, to dare to draw her blade and come to him.
[I am so used to this house!]
Ye Jinsu touched the gauze covering her stomach and heard Meng Lan's sullen voice, "First Miss, you should avoid Second Miss from now on. I think Second Miss has gone crazy."
The scene just now scared her to the point that she still had some lingering fears.
Xiao Hong also ran over and said worriedly, "Right, from now on, Miss must not stay with Second Miss anymore. Who knows what else Second Miss will do?"
Ye Jinsu massaged the space between her eyebrows and unconsciously thought back to how Ye Zhonglou had talked to her just now. As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to offer, then you're a thief.
Ye Jinsu thought for a while and suddenly asked, "It's already night time, why did Ye Chong come to the backyard?"
Meng Lan was putting away the medicine when she snappily said, "Who knows?"
"Go ask around," Ye Jinsu suddenly ordered. "By the way, what did Ye Zhiru do to Ye Jinru?"
She wanted to see what this Ye Zhui was up to.
Meng Lan had her doubts, but she still nodded and walked out. After asking around outside, they found that each news was more shocking than the last. Meng Lan ran back into the house with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
"Miss, I heard from the butler that Master heard that Miss was not feeling well and wanted to come over to see you."
Ye Jinxiu was drinking her tea and almost spit it out.
"Go on." Wiping her mouth, Ye Jinsu put down the tea in her hand and continued to ask.
"Also, the lord's second young miss is kneeling in the backyard, reflecting on her actions for the whole day!" Meng Lan said in disbelief.
Kneeling for a day was not a big deal.
But where he was kneeling was a huge matter.
It was a place where people came and went, and all the servants passed by. Ye JinRu knelt there for a day, and it would only take half a day for the news of her punishment to spread throughout the entire Ye Residence.
Ye Jingru had been pampered since she was young, so her skin was naturally very thin.
Ye Shisui made up his mind to make up for this humiliation.
He wanted to make Ye Jingru lose face in front of all the servants.
Ye Jinsu raised her eyebrows and was a little interested. She let out a short laugh. Ye Shisan was not only a ghost, but also a huge ghost.
Even if he wasn't as fond of Ye Jingru as he was of her because of the Xie Clan, the feelings he had for her for more than ten years had changed with every word he said. Even though Ye JinRu had said so many offensive words, she was still a person who didn't know. It would be a pity if she kept it a secret.
There was no point in doing so.
This action, seemed to be … He was trying to curry favor with her.
Ye Jinsu couldn't understand what was going on.
Meng Lan and Xiao Hong also couldn't understand why their master had suddenly changed so much. But no matter what, this was a good thing for Ye Jinsu. They thought that Ye Zhonglou had finally found out.
While they were chatting, the doctor called by Ye Chong finally arrived.
Ye Jinsu's eyelids twitched. She almost forgot about this matter. It was already late at night. Two hours had passed since her wound was treated, and she was already preparing to go to bed.
Ye Zhenzheng called a doctor for her.
Ye Jinsu wanted to sneer.
If he was really so stupid as to wait for the doctor he invited, he would probably be in bed in so much pain that he wouldn't be able to get up. This was the blessing of loving his daughter.
"Let him in." Ye Jinsu sneered and spoke disdainfully.
Checking his meridians, that doctor was simply too ashamed to show his face. It really wasn't useful at all. His pulse had already returned to normal and his wounds had been treated well. Even the prescription that he requested for after the incident was flawless.
His visit was like a joke.
Ye Jinsu gave him a polite smile and nodded his head, "Thank you, doctor, for coming over so late in the night. Please tell father that my wound is nothing serious and that I have to trouble you to take care of it."
The doctor embarrassedly wiped the sweat off his forehead. This really was the fastest patient he had ever seen. He quickly nodded his head and left to reply.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Even Xiao Hong felt that something was wrong and started to ask in bewilderment.
Ye Jinxiu shook her head. "Who knows. We'll see tomorrow."
Since he was going to be so attentive to him, he wouldn't offer only one day. I'm afraid I'll have to come over tomorrow.
She wanted to see what Ye Zizai really wanted to do.
