The sound was coming from the east wing room, where Ye Cunsi now lives, next to the east wing room where Aunt Liu lives.
The sound was so loud that when Ye Qingxue rushed into the courtyard, she saw two figures hurriedly leaping over the roof and landing with a thud behind the house.
Ye Qingxue: "..."
It must have been a guard from the manor. I don't know why they came here and stayed on the roof. They were probably frightened by the noise earlier, which is why they made this mistake.
Dongbai has already gone to chase after someone.
Ye Qingxue quickly entered the east wing and saw Ye Cunsi slumped against the wall, looking completely disheveled. His hair was disheveled, his face was pale, and blood was constantly flowing from his forehead, covering his face.
Bai Qi stood in front of him, panting heavily, its fur standing on end. Even with Ye Qingxue's arrival, it remained wary.
Ye Qingxue looked at the scene in front of her for a while.
Finally, I understood. Ye Cunsi had gone mad and started banging his head against the wall. At first, he probably didn't hit it hard, but somehow, he suddenly got up and banged his head against the wall with all his might.
Bai Qi realized something was wrong and rushed towards the wall to try to stop Ye Cunsi. As a result, the two forces collided with the wall one after the other, making a loud noise.
The two guards on the roof were terrified and turned to run away. Her sudden appearance made them even more panicked, and they fell off the roof.
—This is what Ye Qingxue analyzed based on the current scene.
She felt it was almost certainly true.
At this moment, Ye Cunxi sat on the ground, laughing, crying, and bleeding. Ye Qingxue strode forward, grabbed his arm, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing!"
Ye Cunsi stared at her blankly.
Unlike her previous scheming act of deliberately hugging Ye Cunjin and letting him hit her, and also quite different from her arrogant and indifferent attitude yesterday.
But clearly his condition today is better than yesterday and before. His leg has been healed and the silver needles have been removed. Given time, he will be able to walk like a normal person.
But why is he going crazy like this?
“When I was lame before, I thought that once my leg healed, everything would be alright, and I could live a normal life like before and go to the military camp to do what I wanted to do,” Ye Cunsi said.
His gaze remained fixed on the window, as if looking at some scene from the past, a scene he liked and longed for.
He gave a bitter smile and finally looked at Ye Qingxue, blood streaming down his face, carrying endless bitterness.
"Now, my legs are really healed. The miracle doctor said that if I take good care of myself, I will definitely be able to stand up and walk normally in the future. But what good will it do if my legs can stand up? I, Ye Cunsi, will never be able to stand up again."
He could never leave the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion again, never go to the battlefield again, and never earn the respect of others again.
Lying in bed last night, he calmed down from his excitement and thought about it all night. Suddenly, he realized that what he had broken that day was not just a leg, but his entire life.
Ye Qingxue understood.
When he was lame, his biggest worry was how to cure his right leg and stand up again.
Now that his leg is healed, his suffering has changed. It has become a life of being trapped in the mire, sinking little by little. Even if he can climb out, he will be covered in mud, unable to stand up straight, unable to be clean, and unable to return to the world of light.
Ye Qingxue said, "Why was your leg broken back then? They said you bullied Miss Lan and were caught on the spot, but that's not true, is it?"
Ye Cunsi froze, his hand on his lap suddenly gripping his thigh, his fingertips digging into the flesh.
He stared blankly at Ye Qingxue, never expecting that after he caused such a scene, no one in the Hou family would believe him, and the person who would ultimately believe him would be Ye Qingxue, someone he had never interacted with since childhood.
"What happened back then that made you choose to bear everything?" Ye Qingxue asked. "Your mother and your eldest brother first destroyed you, then abandoned you, and finally wanted you to never be able to stand up again. Are you still going to hide it from them now?"
Anger and coldness surged into Ye Cunsi's heart like a tide. He recalled his elder brother's indifferent gaze and his mother's hypocritical comfort, and his eyes turned red.
His throat felt constricted, and his voice was hoarse: "My elder brother used the excuse of bringing me winter clothes, but it just so happened that Miss Lan wanted to spar with me that day. My elder brother deliberately sent me away and then bullied Miss Lan..."
A flicker of pain flashed in Ye Cunsi's eyes. He lowered his head, his voice low and suppressed: "The situation at the time was completely unexpected. I was not prepared at all. I never thought my elder brother would be this kind of person."
"He inherited his uncle's title and was the youngest vice minister in the court. His future was bright, so I was stunned at the time. It was Miss Lan's crying that woke me up."
Ye Cunsi suddenly raised his head, his eyes blazing with fury: "Miss Lan begged me not to tell anyone about this, otherwise her life would be ruined. She doesn't want to be forced to marry my elder brother because of this... My elder brother terrifies and disgusts her!"
“She was crying so hard. She hugged me and all I wanted to do was comfort her… I feel like our whole family owes her something for what my brother did to her.
"As a result, my older brother deliberately called other people over and falsely accused me of bullying Miss Lan. He then grabbed a stick from the side and attacked me on the spot."
"Miss Lan is General Lan's darling daughter, which enraged him. He kicked me so hard I vomited blood, and other colleagues joined in. Many people attacked me, and I didn't get a chance to speak at all. I was knocked unconscious, and my elder brother took me back to the manor..."
Ye Cunsi closed his eyes, his heart as cold as ashes: "So, my bullying of Miss Lan has been defined like this?"
