Granny Wang said, "The young marquis went to the Lan family to propose to Miss Lan, but was severely injured by General Lan and had to be carried back!"
"What!" The old lady slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her face full of anger: "How dare the Lan family lay a hand on Jin'er? Their daughter's reputation has already been tarnished, and Jin'er is still willing to marry her. It's a blessing she has accumulated over eight lifetimes!"
"Madam, the one who defiled Miss Lan in the past was not the Second Young Master, but the Young Marquis! Because the Young Marquis came to our door today, Miss Lan was furious, and she told us the whole truth!"
"How could it be Jin'er? Impossible!" The old lady was struck dumb, stunned, but then she suddenly realized something, her gaze fixed, and the surprise slowly disappeared from her face and eyes.
She seemed to understand something and quickly came to believe that Ye Cunjin was the one who had defiled Miss Lan!
"Mrs. Min is so foolish! She actually made Jin'er do such a thing! Now she's ruined Jin'er!" The old lady gritted her teeth, feeling extremely angry with Mrs. Min!
Perhaps we shouldn't have let the Min family manage the household or raise the children; they've ruined Ye Cunjin and Ye Yabing!
The old lady was shocked and quickly asked, "Is Jin'er seriously injured? Are there any vital organs damaged? Also, how many people know about this?"
Wang Mama said, "When the incident happened, the Princess Consort of Yu was present. She immediately went to the palace to inform the Emperor about it. I'm afraid the imperial edict stripping her of her title and dismissing her from office will soon be sent to the Marquis's residence."
The old lady slumped heavily into the chair.
Granny Wang added, "The eldest young lady and the second young master were also in the General's Mansion at the time. This old servant suspects that it was the two of them who plotted to lure the young marquis into this trap, making his past misdeeds known to everyone. Their goal was to ruin the young marquis's reputation!"
"Disgraced and ruined..." the old lady murmured softly. Wasn't Ye Cunjin already disgraced and ruined?
Not only was Ye Qingxue's attempt to ruin Ye Cunjin's marriage to the Prince's Mansion thwarted, but now she's also causing his reputation to be tarnished.
"This wretched child is truly the nemesis of the Marquis's mansion!" The old lady gritted her teeth, determined to kill her, and kill her as soon as possible!
Fortunately, after the Princess Consort of Yu left, she summoned Madam Zhou and asked her to take action.
Soon... soon, Ye Qingxue will die without a burial place!
The old lady got up and went to Ye Cunjin's room to visit him. Her poor grandson was lying on the bed covered in blood.
Upon seeing her, he said with eyes full of hatred, "Grandmother, I want Ye Qingxue dead! I want Ye Cunsi dead! They conspired to bring me to this state!"
Overwhelmed by hatred, he could no longer suppress even a trace of it.
The old lady dismissed the servants, leaving only Granny Wang guarding the door. She held Ye Cunjin's hand and said, "Don't worry, Grandmother will help you. They'll die sooner or later!"
Ye Cunjin burst into tears: "Grandmother, it hurts so much! I have never suffered such humiliation!"
The old lady felt increasingly distressed, and her hatred grew stronger: "Grandmother knows, Grandmother will avenge you, and will never let them cause trouble in the Marquis's mansion!"
"They will be dead in two days at most. Just wait, and once they are dead, you and the Marquis's mansion will regain their former glory!"
Driven by an intense desire for revenge, Ye Cunjin gritted his teeth and endured the pain throughout his body. He wanted to personally tear Ye Qingxue and Ye Cunsi to pieces and grind their bones to dust!
Meanwhile, when Ye Cunjin was being carried away from the General's Mansion, she and Ye Cunsi were still in Lan Yi's courtyard.
Lan Yi had calmed down considerably. She wiped away her tears, walked up to Ye Cunsi, squatted down, and looked him in the eye. "I'm so sorry that you've suffered because of me these past five months."
She bit her lip, her voice choked with emotion, "Don't worry, after today, I will tell the truth to everyone, so that everyone knows you are brave, that you are a true hero!"
She spoke in a deliberately relaxed tone and even smiled at him.
Ye Cunsi pursed his lips. He had never regretted keeping her secret, but there was no point in saying it aloud. He simply asked, "What about you? What will you do?"
Lan Yi laughed: "I've made up my mind. If I have the chance, I will go with my father to guard the border and fight the enemy!"
So, she was actually saying goodbye to Ye Cunsi.
She smiled, but the atmosphere was very sad.
On the way back to the Marquis's residence, Ye Cunsi was very silent. Ye Qingxue sat beside him, noticing his expression, and asked him, "You like Miss Lan? You liked her even before the accident?"
Ye Cunsi, as if a cat had its tail stepped on, almost jumped up and immediately denied it: "No, don't talk nonsense!"
Ye Qingxue rarely saw him act so childishly, and couldn't help but tease him: "Why didn't you try to keep her here in the capital?"
The carriage stopped outside the corner gate of the Marquis's residence.
Ye Qingxue did not receive a reply from Ye Cunsi.
Because she saw someone she never expected, someone she thought she would never see again until her death.
