The next day, when Jing Yi came over, Yun Ying was sitting on the steps with her eyes downcast, looking dazed and lost in thought.

I heard footsteps and looked up.

In an instant, he came back to his senses, and became sober. There was a gleam of escape in his eyes, and he stood up and was about to run.

A black shadow flashed and instantly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

He tried to escape, but was caught.

"Are you feeling guilty when you see me?" The man's sneer did not reach his eyes, and the aura on his body was even colder.

Yun Ying tensed up and said, "It wasn't me who did it..."

"Since it's not you, why don't you dare tell the princess?" He asked coldly, "Are you afraid that the princess will drive you out of Prince Chen's mansion after knowing the truth?"

"I……"

Her breath caught in her throat.

She didn't dare to say it because once she said it, her loss of virginity would be exposed, and she didn't want to leave an embarrassing impression on the young marquis.

Yun Ying clenched her hands, pursed her lips into a straight line, and couldn't utter a word.

No matter how she explained, he didn't believe it.

"Mute?"

"I……"

The man sneered, brushed her shoulder, and strode into Hanfeng Courtyard to meet Qin Ye.

Yunying lowered her head and stood there, her face full of pain and struggle.

She didn't dare to say it because she didn't want to embarrass the princess.

She, Jing Yi, and the young marquis were all close friends of the princess. After something like this happened, it would be unfair for the princess to favor anyone.

She didn't want to make things difficult for the princess...

In the hospital.

"I'm here." Qin Ye saw Jing Yi and rubbed away the worry between her brows. She was very sorry about Zhang Fei's matter. After comforting him with a few words, she got straight to the point.

"Jingyi, I had a miscarriage that night and left in a hurry. It seemed like you and Yunying came back later. Do you know what happened? Yunying has been acting strange since she came back."

Jing Yi looked calm:

"That night I went to bury Zhang Fei, and Yun Ying and I left the Gu family and went our separate ways."

"Didn't she return to Prince Chen's Mansion? What could have happened?"

His tone was normal and his voice was steady, as if he knew nothing.

Qin Ye said in a deep voice: "The key point is that she didn't come back all night that night."

"Oh?" Jing Yi asked back, "She is from Dongning City and has no relatives or friends in the imperial capital. If she doesn't go back to Prince Chen's Mansion, where else can she go?"

"That's what I'm curious about. I guess something must have happened that night that distracted her from the young marquis."

"oh."

Jing Yi responded calmly.

"I know what you mean. I'll check it out."

"But, Miss, are you worrying too much? Yunying is good at martial arts, and ordinary people can't hurt her. She may feel that Zhang Fei's death is related to her, and she feels guilty."

Qin Ye knew that Zhang Fei had an accident and everyone was blaming themselves.

But, this is the Gu family’s fault.

She sighed, "I know Yun Ying has a kind heart, but this is not her fault. It would be a pity if she were to separate from the young marquis because of this."

The light in Jing Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Yunying is kind-hearted?

It's not her fault?

Whose fault is that?

Did Zhang Fei deserve to die?

The killing intent suddenly appeared, but he calmly put it away, "There are so many regrettable things in the world."

The voice became twice colder, "Miss, if all the love in the world can be successful, why are there so many regrets and missed opportunities?"

Qin Ye choked slightly.

There is some truth to this.

She just felt sorry that two people who were originally doing well suddenly broke up. If it could be saved, it would be a good deed to bring them together.

As the old saying goes, it is better to destroy ten temples than to destroy a marriage.

"But I don't think they should be separated."

"Those who are in love have also felt that love can overcome everything, but in the end, didn't they all succumb to reality? What do you think? If what you feel can really become a fact, would you still use the word 'feel'?" Jing Yi asked back.

Qin Ye was immediately speechless.

Without waiting for more words, Jing Yi had already strode away.

Why is Jing Yi like he's eaten dynamite today? Is he so angry?

He never contradicted her before.

Maybe Zhang Fei’s death was a blow to him and he was in a bad mood.

Qin Ye thought of this and did not think deeply about it, nor did he investigate Jing Yi. Little did he know that this careless laxity led to Yun Ying's three years of living a life worse than death...
