The mother and daughter ordered Qin Ye in a righteous manner, as if they were commanding a slave they had bought with money.
Qin Ye smiled.
Who is asking whom for help?
Haven't you realized the situation yet?
She curled up the corners of her lips coldly, held An's arm with her hand, turned sideways nonchalantly, and a light and strange voice sounded in An's ear:
“Is this the attitude of asking for help?”
An was shocked all over and looked up in astonishment at the ugly face that was so close to him.
I couldn't believe that these words came out of Qin Ye's mouth.
The next second, his eyes were red and tears were pouring out:
"Qin Ye, you are so cruel. Are you clearly abandoning your sister? You can't be so ungrateful. Back then, when I was pregnant with you, it was winter..."
"In the middle of winter, you washed clothes by hand in the well, ate stale rice and vegetables, and were targeted by my wife. You risked your life to give birth to me, and became ill. I grew up drinking your blood. If I don't obey you, you'll be an ungrateful person."
Qin Ye interrupted her and recited it skillfully.
An choked.
It was clearly a statement to take credit, but when it came out of Qin Ye's mouth, something felt a little off...
It was as if he was... mocking her...
But she did have a hard life back then!
An clenched his fist and asked confidently, "I raised you to this age, shouldn't you repay me?"
If she ignored Jiaojiao today, tomorrow morning, the reputation of Princess Chen for ostracizing her own sister, turning her back on her, and being cold and heartless would spread throughout the entire imperial capital!
Qin Ye lazily picked his ears and looked at her disdainfully:
"Return?"
Oh!
She no longer owed anything to this 'mother' who had no feelings for her:
"I am repaying you by helping King Li go on his southern tour."
An glared, "Impossible!"
"From ancient times to the present, everyone has praised the greatness of maternal love. The grace of giving birth to a child can never be repaid in a lifetime. You just helped me do one thing, and you want to start your own business? I tell you, it's impossible! If you dare not listen to me, I will make you lose your reputation tomorrow!"
She grabbed Qin Ye's wrist, digging her nails deep into his flesh, and gnashed her teeth beside her ear with a ferocious look on her face.
On one side, Zong Zhengli, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke:
"Everyone please disperse. I will take care of Princess Li's affairs myself."
An was panicked.
If we don't explain clearly in front of everyone, isn't that the same as admitting that Jiaojiao made a mistake?
Be sure to make it clear!
"Qin Ye, quickly help Jiaojiao to testify!"
Qin Ye said calmly, "You can ask me to testify, but I have a request."
She whispered a few words into An's ear.
An's expression suddenly changed...
After four or five seconds, he slowly loosened his tightly clenched hands, his voice slightly hoarse: "Okay, I promise you..."
Zong Zhengli said, "Come here, take this man away and torture him severely."
"Wait a minute!"
With a crisp sound, the woman stepped forward, attracting everyone's attention.
Qin Ye said, "This matter concerns Princess Li's innocence. A woman's reputation is a big deal, so it's better to resolve it sooner rather than later. It's best to resolve it now."
Zong Zhengli raised his eyes and glanced at her with complicated eyes:
"Since this person showed up in the bridal chamber, she must have come prepared. If we don't torture her, it will be hard to get anything out of her."
“This is not difficult.”
Qin Ye curled his lips and turned his wrist, revealing a small and exquisite pocket watch with a long silver chain hanging between his fingers.
He walked up to the young man and shook the object in his hand:
"Look at it."
The young man covered his injured hand, his eyes dodging, "W-what..."
"After something like this, do you think you still have a chance to survive? If you keep looking at it, you will fall into a sleeping state and die without any pain. If you don't want to, then go to the cell and be tortured with the eighteen kinds of torture."
