1729. Chapter 1729 Account
Ye Zhen was pretty sure she was alone when she woke up in the cabin. She had never seen Ye Jingshu, let alone killed any nanny. However, Ye Wei seemed to have regarded her as the murderer.
"You don't have to argue. You are the only outsider in the forest. If you weren't the one who killed him, who else could it be?" Ye Wei snorted.
"Ah, so you know it so well. So, you saw me kill someone?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
Ye Wei sneered, "You don't have to quibble. If it wasn't you, who else would it be?"
"If you want to come to me today to accuse me, I will still say the same thing. I don't know Ye Jingshu, and I have never met her, let alone a nanny. It's your business to believe it or not. Over the past year, thanks to Ye Jingshu, Thank you very much for your care." Ye Zhen said lightly, "If nothing happens, I will leave first."
"It's not that easy to leave!" Ye Wei stopped Ye Zhen.
Huo Huang, who was standing next to Ye Zhen, chuckled, "I have never seen anyone dare to be so arrogant in Tianhao City, and be so rude to the city lord's wife."
Ye Wei's expression changed. He had forgotten that Ye Zhen was still the wife of the city lord of Tianhao City.
"Marriage is a matter of parents' order and a matchmaker's appointment. We have never received a marriage proposal from the Lord of Mo City. How can Ye Zhen be considered his wife?" Ye Shizhong had other plans in mind and was naturally unwilling to admit Ye Zhen's status in Tianhao City. .
"Didn't you just say that? Ye Zhen is not the real legitimate daughter of your Ye family." Huo Huang said coolly. The people of the Ye family are indeed ill-intentioned and want to plot against Ye Zhen.
Ye Shizhong did not dare to be too rude to Huo Huang. He said seriously, "Even if Ye Zhen is not a girl from our Ye family, in the past year, the old man has regarded her as his granddaughter. Her marriage is our Ye family's business. We can’t ignore it.”
"Dad?" Ye Wei was surprised, should he let Ye Zhen go?
A sneer flashed in Huohuang's eyes, did he regard Ye Zhen as his granddaughter? Who are you talking about?
Ye Zhen smiled slightly, "Master Ye, thank you for your concern, but I can make my own decisions."
"Even if you can make the decision on your own, you still have to go back to the Ye family with us." Ye Wei said coldly, "You killed Jing Shu's nanny, and you must go back and give an explanation to the Ye family."
"I want to meet Ye Jingshu." Ye Zhen didn't want to explain anymore. She felt that this should be a misunderstanding with Ye Jingshu.
"You..." Ye Wei was about to refuse, but Ye Jingshu's voice came from outside the door.
Ye Jingshu walked in slowly, her eyes like water roses with a hint of chill, she looked at Ye Zhen with sad and angry eyes, "Ye Zhen, we meet again."
"Have we met?" Looking at this beautiful young woman, Ye Zhen was even more sure that she had never seen her before. If she had never seen her before, how could anything else happen?
"It turns out that you are so forgetful, but after just over a year, you forgot about me." Ye Jingshu laughed at herself, "It doesn't matter if you forget about me, then you will never forget the mute mother, right?"
Ye Zhen looked at Ye Jingshu calmly and listened to her question, "If I had seen it, I would naturally remember it."
"I told you, I don't care about returning to the Ye family. If you had told me that you wanted to take over my identity, the mute mother and I would definitely agree to you. Why do you have to be cruel? The mute mother has nothing. Yes, she..." Ye Jingshu took a deep breath, "Now that you have gotten what you want, are you satisfied?"
She didn't look like she was lying. The grief on Ye Jingshu's face was so real that Ye Zhen almost thought she had committed a murder.
"Are you sure it's me?" Ye Zhen asked helplessly, "Today is the first time I saw you. When I woke up in the cabin, I didn't see anyone else."
"Is this your explanation?" Ye Jingshu smiled bitterly and shook her head, "You said that you fled to the woods to avoid being hunted. You still want to find someone. I sympathized with you and wanted to help you. ,now……"
Ye Zhen frowned tightly. She was confused by what Ye Jingshu said. Was she lying, or had she done something and been forgotten?
Huohuang walked over and looked up at Ye Jingshu, "Your cultivation is at least at the peak of the Qing realm. A person who is close to the spiritual realm is framed by a person who has no cultivation. How many people do you think can do this? believe?"
"It's really unbelievable, just like I never knew that Ye Zhen had a divine beast like you." Ye Jingshu said.
"Of course you don't know. If I wake up early, I will still need you to save her and give you the opportunity to slander her?" Huohuang said sarcastically, "You said Ye Zhen killed someone, and you just said it without any evidence. Do you have any evidence? "
Ye Jingshu shook her head, "There is indeed no evidence, and I don't need others to believe it. Since you don't admit it, I have nothing to say."
"If I had done it, I would naturally admit it." Ye Zhen said quietly.
"Ye Zhen, I underestimated you." Ye Jingshu looked at her and said.
To say that she underestimated Ye Jingshu, she probably underestimated Ye Jingshu. For some reason, Ye Zhen felt that the sad and helpless woman in front of her was probably the biggest opponent she had ever encountered.
"Ye Zhen, you must give the Ye family an explanation for this matter." Ye Wei said.
"What explanation do you want me to give?" Ye Zhen asked coldly, "I haven't done it, that is, I haven't done it. There is no need to give an explanation to the Ye family."
Ye Shizhong signaled Ye Wei to stop talking, "Ye Zhen, we believe there is a misunderstanding about this matter, but we still hope you can explain it to the old man in person."
"So what if you explain it?" Ye Zhen looked at Ye Jingshu, "You believe that I killed your wet nurse, but there is no evidence. You came to Tianhao City to find me today. You want to do more than just question me. Why don't you get straight to the point, everyone? What do you want to ask for?"
"I'm not here to question you." Ye Jingshu looked at her calmly, "I have been practicing in seclusion for so long, and for no other reason than to kill you. The mute mother is like a mother to me, and you are my mother-killing enemy. No matter what your status is now, I will never let you go."
Ye Zhen nodded lightly, understanding Ye Jingshu's position. She turned her head and looked at Ye Shizhong. After entering the door for so long, Ye Shizhong's attitude towards her was unprecedentedly kind. It seemed that he was not helping Ye Jingshu kill her, "Well, Mr. Ye, besides Verify your identity with me, do you have anything else?"
"The old man hopes you can return to the Ye family." Ye Shizhong whispered. Only today did he realize that Ye Zhen was different from the first time they met. Is it because she became Emperor Mo's wife?
"I can't leave Tianhao City." Ye Zhen said lightly, "I will explain to Mr. Ye when I have the opportunity to see him in the future."
In fact, all the explanations are just excuses. If she didn't have Tianlinggen, how many people in the Ye family would care about her life and death? Looking at the entire Ye family, only Tang Hanyan and Ye Muxin were sincere to her, and the others... She felt that she didn't need to explain to them at all.
