Ye Qingxue did not refute her words, but simply asked, "You chose to protect your reputation back then, and what was the result?"
And what was the result?
These three words stumped Lan Yi.
Her face grew paler and paler.
Ye Qingxue answered for her: "The result is that Ye Cunsi, who was protecting you, not only had his leg broken, but his life was also ruined, and he can no longer stand in the sunlight."
"As a result, not only did you fail to protect your reputation, but the devil is still relentlessly pursuing you and is now trying to ruin your life!"
Lan Yi was completely stunned.
As if struck by a heavy blow, he abruptly took a step back.
Ye Qingxue stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and looked directly into her eyes: "Do you know? If you hadn't hidden it from the beginning, but instead pushed the real villain out, Ye Cunsi wouldn't be crippled, his life wouldn't have been shattered, and you wouldn't be facing today's disaster!"
"Of course, I'm not saying 'if' to blame you."
"Instead, I want to tell you that there are many things in life that you must never back down from, because behind you may lie an abyss. Once you retreat, what awaits you is endless darkness and utter destruction."
These insights were gained through a near-death experience.
“I hope you can tell the truth in public and clear Ye Cunsi’s name. You are young, but he is not old either. He is just a fifteen-year-old boy!”
"Only by telling the truth can you protect him and yourself! Only then can the real bad guys be punished, and only then can many innocent and beautiful girls like you be spared from his harm in the future!"
Lan Yi was stunned, staring at her intently, unable to utter a word.
Ye Qingxue took a deep breath and continued, "Your father is a great general who protects the country. If you choose to remain silent, you are indirectly protecting bad people!"
"Your silence will not bring him to his senses; it will only make him more ruthless. Of course, you are the victim, and you have the right to choose what you want to choose."
After saying that, Ye Qingxue released her arm and stepped aside.
Lan Yi's face remained pale, and after a long while, he finally uttered a sentence: "If I don't tell the truth, will you blame me?"
Ye Qingxue replied, "From the perspective of Ye Cunsi's family, I would; from the perspective of the woman and the victim, I understand you."
Lan Yi's body swayed violently, and he quickly grabbed the door panel for support.
In the courtyard separated by a single door.
Ye Cunjin vaguely sensed voices inside the room, but when he tried to listen more closely, he saw Ye Cunsi's fist swinging towards him, which he quickly grabbed.
"Second brother, I only allowed you to hit me last time because I had things to do. You want to hit me again this time? Not so easy!"
Holding Ye Cunsi's hand, he moved closer again, his wicked and arrogant tone: "It's been several months since Miss Lan was defiled. Even if you tell the truth now, no one will believe you!"
"Second brother, do you need me to call the Lan family members to you now and let you tell them the truth? I'm afraid you'll die an even more miserable death."
"If you don't want to die like this, kneel on the ground like a dog and beg me to let you go."
As he spoke, Ye Cunjin used great force to try to pull Ye Cunsi off the wheelchair!
But just then, the courtyard gate was kicked open.
General Lan strode in, his face full of anger, accompanied by his wife.
Even the Princess Consort of Yu was there!
Ye Cunjin's mind went blank for a moment, and he abruptly released Ye Cunsi's wrist, staring blankly at the three people who appeared in front of him.
Why did they come?
Judging from their furious expressions, could it be that... they've been listening outside all along?
Did they all hear that?
Did they all overhear his conversation with Ye Cunsi?
Impossible! This is impossible!
They couldn't just stand outside and eavesdrop forever. He could tell that when he proposed to marry Miss Lan, the general and his wife were genuinely happy; their excited expressions didn't seem fake!
Moreover, they didn't know that Ye Cunsi would come to Miss Lan's courtyard. It was impossible for them to know in advance that he would talk to Ye Cunsi here, and then hide outside the gate to wait and hear the truth!
However, judging from the appearance of the three of them, it seemed that they had heard the whole story and knew the whole truth about the old military camp!
Ye Cunjin's face drained of color. He opened and closed his lips, wanting to say something, but before he could utter a single word, General Lan kicked him hard.
It kicked him straight in the chest.
He flew a full ten feet before crashing down, feeling as if his internal organs were about to shatter.
The general's wife also rushed forward, her eyes red and tears streaming down her face, pointing angrily at him: "It's you! It's you, you beast, who bullied my daughter!"
"You even made your own brother take the blame for you, and today you shamelessly came to my door to force my daughter to marry you. You are truly shameless and worse than an animal!"
"I know, they really all know," Ye Cunjin thought, his mind reeling.
Why are they hiding outside? Did Ye Cunsi call them here? Did he deliberately appear here to induce him to reveal the truth of the past?
He really underestimated Ye Cunsi!
But now is not the time to hold Ye Cunsi accountable. Princess Yu is here too. He absolutely cannot admit that he was the one who defiled Miss Lan. Otherwise, his entire life will be ruined, and his career will be completely over.
Ye Cunjin quickly got up: "General Lan, Madam Lan, what did you hear outside? It's not what you think. I absolutely did not bully Miss Lan. I can explain!"
He pointed at Ye Cunsi: "The one who bullied Miss Lan was Ye Cunsi. General Lan, you saw it yourself. Do you think it's fake when you saw it with your own eyes?"
