Young Master Ouyang said coldly, "Young Master Yan is truly loyal to Prince Jing. Even though he repeatedly sent people to silence him, he remained so loyal to him. This affection is truly touching. I wonder what kind of feelings he has for you?"
"I'm afraid that in his eyes, your affection is nothing more than a toy for him to play with in his spare time. Master Yan, you don't think that Prince Jing is loyal to you, do you?!"
Young Master Ouyang had a hint of sneer on his lips.
"If he truly had feelings for you, he wouldn't have pushed you out in front of all the ministers to be the scapegoat. In fact, if he had bravely stood up at that time, the emperor would have only given him a slight rebuke and left him alone. He is the emperor's sworn brother, his right-hand man."
"If he truly is deeply in love with you and is unhappy with you, then what happened that day wasn't a bad thing. You two could have been together legitimately. Such things have been recorded in ancient books. Let's not even talk about distant past events. Take Ling Weihou of the previous dynasty, for example. He bravely stood up for love, unafraid of the world's opinions."
Yan Qing's face darkened slightly. He wanted to retort, but he didn't have the courage.
Just like what he said, if he really had feelings for her, how could he push him out without mercy and even kill him.
"Do you know what people outside are saying about you now?" Young Master Ouyang noticed that his expression began to change and knew that he was wavering.
He continued, "Everyone in Shangjing City is saying that Yan Qing is a shameless slut who seduced Prince Jing. After failing to seduce him again and again, he actually drugged and raped Prince Jing, hoping to use this to blackmail him into accepting you."
"In everyone's eyes, you are a shameless scoundrel clinging to the powerful, and Prince Jing is a poor man who was deceived by a shameless villain."
"No one sympathizes with you. They only spit at you and despise you. Even your family can't hold their heads up in front of everyone. As for your beloved Prince Jing, he is still the high and mighty prince, the beloved prince."
"Tell me the truth of what happened back then, and I can clear your name. I'll allow you and your family to start a new life, no longer scorned and despised by the world."
Yan Qing didn't say anything, and was completely confused.
The two young masters of the Ouyang family did not rush to ask him, but let him think about it himself.
After a while, Yan Qing raised his head, and his eyes were abnormally red.
“I, I…”
His reason told him that this was the best choice, the best choice for himself and his family.
Yuwen Changyun was unkind in this matter, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
The Fourth Young Master Ouyang said, "Do you really want to keep a secret for someone who toyed with your feelings and made you a public figure? If not for yourself, then for your family."
Yan Qing took a deep breath, "I'll say."
The eyes of the Ouyang brothers lit up and they looked at him sternly.
"This is what happened back then... After strangling Ouyang Yuyao to death, he bribed the imperial physician, and..." As Yan Qing revealed what happened back then, the two Ouyang brothers were so angry that their faces turned ashen.
Damn Yuwen Changyun, he had played the Ouyang family around like crazy, making them think it was just my bad luck. It turned out that my sister didn't die of illness, but was strangled to death by that beast.
