Chapter 33: Selling Off Her Daughter: The Cousin's Confession
“Jiuge, it is pointless to put yourself out trying to blame me: Xing Hua has already confessed.” The corner of Su Yufeng’s eyes revealed the slightest hint of triumph as she turned and bowed to Ye Yuxuan saying, “Old Master, if you do not believe me, you can ask Xing Hua.”
Ye Yuxuan glared at Xing Hua and demanded angrily, “Tell me what is going on.”
Xing Hua blinked her brass bell-like eyes and said with a little injury, “Old Master, I do not know what is going on either. I…I only saw a belt similar to the one the man is wearing on the table of Fifth Concubine’s interior room.”
Xing Hua might have been honest, but she was no fool. She was careful not to say that the adulterer’s belt was beyond a doubt the same one she had seen in Fifth Concubine’s room.
Nevertheless, Ye Yuxuan flew into a rage after listening to her, and his eyes, which were looking at Fifth Concubine, turned bloodshot. He wanted nothing more than to kick her to death.
“Old Master, Fifth Concubine has committed such a disgraceful act that I lack the self-respect to plead on her behalf.” Su Yufeng sighed and looked at Fifth Concubine as if she were dead.
“Father, Xing Hua did not say that the belt on the thief was without a doubt the one that she saw in Fifth Concubine’s room. Why don’t we wake up Fifth Concubine and hear her side of the story? You see that she has yet to show any signs of stirring, even though you have been here for some time. That doesn’t seem right!” Ye Jiuge urged, standing beside him.
In fact, when she had first stepped into the room, she had perceived that someone had knocked both Fifth Concubine and the adulterer unconscious. Needless to say, that someone was Ye Yu. Hence, she did not make a fuss about it.
Ye Yuxuan stepped forward, his face darkened, and he pinched the acupuncture points on Fifth Concubine’s philtrum. The adulterer did not have such good fortune: Ye Yuxuan kicked him in the stomach.
