Chapter 61 – The Male Lead’s Counterattack : The Water Bath (2)

Wen Ru sat on the ground, trembling like a quail, and her eyes were filled with dread!

“Bitch!” Ye Li pointed the blade in his hand at her, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent. “What do you have to say for yourself?! ”

“I-I-I-I…” Wen Ru was scared out of her wits. Her lips were pale, without the slightest hint of blood. She scrambled down from the carriage and knelt at Ye Li’s feet as she spoke while trembling.

“No-It’s not me…That Zhao Yu—the one he really adores is the servant girl beside me. I have nothing to do with him! There really isn’t anything between us!”

During this time, Wen Ru was still ignorant of Mo Linyuan’s scheme against her: the medicine which had been poured in her bath, nor did she know how she had been tricked, so she subconsciously tried to stir up trouble, trying futilely to save her skin.

But how could she fool Ye Li? Every time she bathed, she would need to use the mountain spring water on the Beautiful Jade Mountain, ten miles away from the capital. That spring water was infused with the fragrance of flowers, and after being heated it would become even more aromatic and enchanting, so it was very easy to tell who would dare to use it.

“Not you?” Ye Li sneered as blood dripped down from the blade in his hand, drop by drop staining the earth. “Then, which servant do you think this man had been fornicating with?”

Thinking about Wen Ru’s prestigious background, Ye Li really wanted to give her a chance to explain herself, to prove everything she said was true.

When Wen Ru heard this, she thought there was an opportunity and pointed her shaking finger to her side, but whoever she pointed at, they would subconsciously avoid it. In the end, Wen Ru gritted her teeth and pointed to a girl wearing a long green skirt.

“It’s you?” Ye Li stared at her.

The servant girl shook her head again and again, but when she met Wen Ru’s warning gaze, her eyes filled with tears. She stuttered for a long while but didn’t say a single word.

Ye Li had no patience. With a wave of his hand, he immediately wanted to strip the girl out of her clothes!

“No, general! No! Madam, please save this servant!”

But Wen Ru was too preoccupied with her own matters. How could she even think of saving her?

Seeing that the poor servant girl was about to be ripped apart on the spot, Ye Mu couldn’t bear to continue watching and stepped forward, “Father! She’s not married yet!”

“Shut up!”

Ye Li interrupted her in anger. If it wasn’t for the people around her provoking him, how could today’s matter have happened?

But Ye Mu was still persistent.

“Father! You always reward and punish people justly. But how can you kill people for no reason? There’s a stable over there, so it wouldn’t be a big deal to ask a trusted mama to go over and check her body inside!”

She spoke so fast, so loudly that it was too late for Mo Linyuan to pull her.

It wasn’t that Ye Mu was trying to force herself, but that she couldn’t bear to watch any longer. The innocent, servant girls here would surely die one by if this was to continue. But this girl wouldn’t die if Ye Mu would reason out for her to be checked for a minute or two at the stable.

She would do everything to placate the rampaging Ye Li!

Ye Li was currently in a manic. After all, no man would be able to remain calm knowing that he had been cuckolded. He wanted to kill people in anger and frustration. He wanted to tear every person he was facing into two, alive!

Including this milk baby in front of her!

However, under Ye Mu’s resolute gaze, he actually didn’t do so. When he was stared at by her pair of dark, bright eyes, he could clearly see his overbearing figure reflected in those eyes. Her attitude was so resolute, refusing to dodge away from his wrath.

Ye Li’s chest heaved up and down. He flung his robe and roared at the butler beside him, “Take her to the stable and check!”

“Ah?! Yes, yes, yes!” The butler quickly agreed, but in his heart, he held a higher opinion of Ye Mu! To be able to make the furious General change his mind, this little girl was not simple at all.

What happened next was much faster. After the servant girl was dragged inside for a physical examination, the mama quickly came out to inform the housekeeper, who shook his head towards Ye Li.

Wen Ru realized that her lie had been exposed just like that. She didn’t even know where she went wrong. Before she could think of a way to save herself, her hair was lifted up by Ye Li!
