Looking at Ye Jingyan's red and swollen eyes, Ye Jingchen also felt a bit of a headache.

After Ye Jingyan returns today, will there be more rumors in the palace about him abusing his sister?

Moreover, he and his sister did bully people today, and if such rumors spread, they would have no way to defend themselves.

"Second Princess, do you know that the number of tears a person can shed in their lifetime is actually limited? If you cry too much now, your tear ducts will dry up, and you might never be able to shed tears again in the future," Ye Jingchen said to Ye Jingyan with a smile.

"Once your tear ducts dry up, what comes out of your eyes might be blood. Aren't you scared?"

Ye Jingyan: !

Bleeding eyes?

Is it true or false?

Is her brother trying to scare her again?

But what if it's true?

Ye Jingyan dared not shed any more tears.

"If you don't believe me, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, Physician Zhang, is in the Eastern Palace. I can ask him to come and explain it to you," Ye Jingchen added.

Ye Jingyan's tears stopped instantly, her small face turning deathly pale.

Seeing that she stopped crying immediately, Ye Jingchen knew what was going on.

"Second Princess, tears are precious things and should not be used as weapons. Even if you want to use tears as weapons, they should only be used in the most critical moments."

"Besides—tears are actually the most useless thing. The person who will let you go just because you cried is someone who wouldn't hurt you!"

"For those who don't care about you, your tears will only embolden them and make them bully you even more, because in a way—only the weak shed tears, the strong bleed but don't cry!"

Ye Jingchen even resorted to modern melodramatic platitudes.
