The three unexpected words brought everyone into silence while turning their eyes towards the owner of the voice.
And what they saw was no less astounding, unthinkable for their little brains it would be him. Even the three ruling men were also made a little surprised. In fact, they were not aware of any additional scenes. It makes them have some thoughts.
As well as the others, Meng Pei Yun was also surprised even more surprised. This is not what he ever imagined. Nah! He never imagined this would happen.
"D-SHI!" he shouted in disbelief at the figure of the woman who had been standing beside him as a confidant.
Is correct. He was A-Shi, butler and servant of Meng Pei Yun.
His current sudden presence, could not make Meng Pei Yun think it was anything positive, especially during the short sentence before. He knew something bad was going to happen to him. Who would have thought that the person he trusted so much would be the dagger behind his back.
"A..what are you doing?" hard to believe, but he was really his loyal servant.
Seeing the look in Meng Pei Yun's eyes made A-Shi feel guilty. But, thinking his lord would continue to walk the wrong path he felt even more guilty. He knew, he was just a subordinate who had to obey his master's orders. But, he was on the other hand he was also the one who saw him grow up. That said, A-Shi is a loyal servant and caretaker who replaced the late biological mother Meng Pei Yun to care for Consort Meng when she was a child.
He still remembered vividly in his memories, during Meng Pei Yun's mother's last breath. The woman advised that A-Shi take care of her only child and guide her to be a kind woman and uphold virtue. Because basically, Meng Pei Yun's mother was a good woman inside out.
So, here he is...
"I'm sorry your servant, my lady... But, this was what this lowly woman had to do... This lowly woman could not let the Madam do anything worse. And that's why, Madam... Just admit it and ask for mercy from Master Ye to grant leniency. Madam, you can't do that more than this. That's enough" she said with a soft word like a mother who wanted to pull her child out of the brink of death.
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?! WHAT DID I DO?! DID YOU INTENTIONALLY WANT ZI XIAN TO SEE ME WORSE?! STOP YOUR BULLSHIT!" screeched Meng Pei Yun among her mounting uneasiness. He himself barely knew what he was doing at the moment.
Because there was only one thought in his mind, which was not wanting Ye Zi Xian to know his feelings. Because, he was sure that if Ye Zi Xian knew, he would not have the opportunity to be with the man he loved.
"Again, my lady. I can't this time. Even if I had to bet on life, I would still do it for your own good" A-Shi said in an imploring tone.
"Key what do you mean? In fact, it would be a bad thing for me if you were to carelessly talk! You know?!" angry Meng Pei Yun for fear A-Shi opened her mouth.
While looking at the deep red face of his lord who was now staring at him with murderous intent, A-Shi sat up. "They're right. This is Ye's family. There is no way out for my Madam to stay alive if she still insists on her self-defense. She's mistaken... He made a mistake... Why should I fall in love with Mr. Ye, Madam...?! Why should there be a forbidden love in your heart for her?!" his servant's heart grimaced sad and concerned for his lord.
Ye Zi Xian ignored the hysterical Meng Pei Yun, he immediately rained down on A-Shi with his cold gaze. No matter how A-Shi could turn from Meng Pei Yun's side, all she needed was the truth known to A-Shi.
This was the ease given, how could he ignore it.
"You just said you can testify, right?" the jeda. "Then, testify!" continued.
Hearing that Meng Pei Yun returned in the fog. He knows that if A-Shi opens her mouth, she'll run out. Not only will his life end, but his love struggle is also over.
Who wants that to happen?
Nah! He didn't want that to happen!
Sure enough, A-Shi had not yet had time to make a sound to answer, a force hit her body until it fell backward quite strongly. Luckily, A-Shi was able to survive and only spewed a little blood from her mouth.
BAM!
All eyes turned to Meng Pei Yun immediately after. Who didn't see his impulsive move just now. It was clearly done in a hurry.
The spectators who saw it, could only give a helpless look. This kind of thing cannot be done while the court is in progress.
Who doesn't know that?
For a small court, that applies.
And what they mean, right. Not only did Master Ye cast his displeased gaze, but also Elder Ye was enraged by it.
"NOT KNOWING YOURSELF! YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO EXERT YOUR POWER TO ATTACK AS THE COURT PROCEEDS?!"
Only then did Meng Pei Yun gasp in realization. He looked at both of his hands in disbelief. Just now, he attacked A-Shi just hoping that she could keep her mouth shut. But, it seemed that he had forgotten for a moment that he was in the Ye family court.
Never in the history of the Ye clan when the court was held, could the use of spiritual power for any purpose of its kind. Especially with his status as a defendant. This includes rebellion and self-righteousness from wrongdoing.
That was to say, he indirectly confirmed whatever Ye Zi Xian had said earlier about him.
"Do you think by doing that, you're free of charges? This was the true figure of a Meng Pei Yun?! BOD*H!" Elder Ye immediately insulted Meng Pei Yun even though it was not obvious. But, that alone was enough to give everyone an understanding of what he wanted to say.
The Meng family could do nothing. They were in his place, only able to hold back the anger with clenched hands. Especially Meng's father. He was clearly unable to see his favorite daughter being persecuted. However, he also did not believe that his daughter could do such a humiliating thing.
Love your own son?
Is his daughter crazy?
Meng Pei Yun in silence did not dare to raise his head. He stood stiff in his place.
"You can continue?" asked Master Ye flatly after the small incident that just happened.
He's completely indifferent! It's hideous!
"Uhukis... Bi.can, Master Ye." replied A-Shi weakly. However, his chest was still painful due to the hit earlier, because he could not avoid.
Therefore, with great difficulty A-Shi said. "Indeed right. Uk... My mistress, have a taste in you, Mr. Ye. It's been a long time. That also triggers... Uhuk. His evil intention to get rid of future Lady Ye candidates once he finds out that you have found her. Uhuk..uhuk.." a mouthful of blood came back out of his throat.
That brief explanation was enough for the listeners to know who was wrong here.
Perhaps, A-Shi's testimony could be called treason. However, everyone could see that his eyes still had loyalty to Meng Pei Yun. If it had been this way, this betrayal would have had an important reason behind it.
As next, as soon as A-Shi's testimony finished Meng Pei Yun immediately threw herself onto the floor of the execution stage and squabbled while tightly gripping Ye Zi Xian's clothes.
He forgot his position and image for the sake of making Ye Xiao Nan want to believe him instead of others.
Unfortunately...
"Zi Xian, listen to my explanation. You can't just draw conclusions. That's not true! Hear me! Listen to me!" he said it was starting to get irregular.
Meng Pei Yun's current appearance was already far from fresh as when she had arrived just before the event began. Now he's squeaky and messy.
Frowning unhappily, Ye Zi Xian spoke while looking disdainfully at the woman he had shared his mother's love for him considering that he had helped take care of her. But, not expecting that he had any hidden intentions over her.
Who wants that?!
Obviously, he didn't!
It won't!
"What else do you want to explain? Don't make me more disgusted! You should know, whatever reason you want to give me. It will mean nothing! The love you have for me is wrong! You used your love excuse to attack my destiny wrong too! What else are you saying?!" ye Zi Xian's gaze was sharper than before. This one is more piercing to the point of being able to destroy anyone he sees.
Meng Pei Yun could only shake her head speechlessly again.
Ye Zi Xian's anger for him was something he didn't want to see for the rest of his life.
Squinting his sharp eyes, Ye Zi Xian dropped his decision steadily regardless of their past.
"Because it is clear who is guilty. We're going straight to the punishment stage!" his tone was low and deep like the night wind blowing. Able to stir up a scary air.
As soon as the decision came out of Ye Zi Xian's mouth, the helpless Meng Pei Yun earlier suddenly had the strength to get up and scream in panic.
"NO! YOU CAN'T PUNISH ME! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN, I'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF YOU ALL THIS TIME! HOW CAN YOU JUST IGNORE MY STRUGGLE! I IGNORED EVERYTHING JUST TO PLEASE YOU! HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO ME!!!" he shouted crazily in front of Ye Zi Xian whose face remained flat and cold.
However, even though he was rampaging before Ye Zi Xian. The love is still there, so that all the mistakes he gave to A-Shi who he considered betrayed.
That way, he suddenly turned around and directly lunged at the already weak A-Shi in place with the help of some people from around him.
Seeing Meng Pei Yun charging towards them crazily. Those who previously helped A-Shi immediately stepped aside to save themselves.
"BASIC TRAITOR! YOU DESERVE TO DIE! BECAUSE OF MU, MY ZI XIAN REJECTED ME! YOU DESERVE TO DIE!"
Strength gathered in his palm and was ready to be floated towards A-Shi. Meanwhile, A-Shi has resigned.
His speed made people unable to catch up to stop him.
"Mrs... Forgive me for not being able to educate your daughter to be what you expected... Forgive me.." inwardly A-Shi cried bitterly with guilt-ridden feelings to her late biological mother Meng Pei Yun for her failure.
BLARR...!
The steaming smoke mixed with the dust and the crushed ground around him, due to the powerful attack of Meng Pei Yun. It makes everyone wait expectantly anxious on the state of A-Shi.
They pity the fate of A-Shi, but can do nothing.
On the execution stage Ye Zi Xian frowned looking at all that. Inexhaustible with Meng Pei Yun's crazy actions. There was a bit of sadness in her heart, however the woman was once a good mother. But, it did not dampen his intention to not slack off in the slightest.
Wrong is still wrong.
It didn't take long to slowly dissipate the smoke and dust. But, what was faintly visible was something unexpected.
All eyes were wide at him, when the silhouette that stood upright like the middle of blocking something began to be made clear.
Even Ye Zi Xian himself was no less surprised.
jengjengjeng... Who is it...???
I'm not sure if you don't know?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
