Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As Xiao Yue’s accusation fell, Mrs. Ye Sr.’s gaze swiftly shifted toward Rong Qi.
“What do you have to say for yourself?”
Rong Qi remained unfazed, looking at Xiao Yue with a slight smirk, “I don’t know anything about a wooden box. Are you going to believe the words of a servant over me? Why not consider that Xiao Yue is trying to frame me?” “Unbelievable!” Xiao Yue cried out dramatically, clutching her chest, “Madam, how can you slander me like this? I’ve always been diligent and loyal. Why would I frame you? It brings me no benefit.”
Xiao Yue continued, tears welling up, “Since it has e to this, I will tell the truth, Madam, please don’t blame me for betraying you! You have harbored resentment against Mrs. Ye Sr. and Madam Liu for a long time.
“I saw with my own eyes you placed something in the box. It was a bloodied doll with their birthdates written on it, and you’ve been sticking needles into it every day, saying it would achieve your desired oute in half a month.
“Moreover, ever since you brought that thing home, strange things began happening in the house, with Mrs. Ye Sr. and Madam Liu being the main targets. I wanted to stop you but couldn’t, as you are Master Shen’s beloved. That’s why I didn’t speak up, and could only watch you make one mistake after another. Otherwise, how do you explain the crows circling our rooftops?”
Xiao Yue’s righteous tone incited Mrs. Ye Sr.’s anger. She stood up, her face darkening, “I’ve always tried to live peacefully with Rong Qi, but I didn’t expect her to bear such a grudge against me. Please give me justice. Otherwise, this house can’t have both her and me!”
Mrs. Ye Sr. knew Old Master Ye’s character well and doubted he would expel Rong Qi for Ye Nanshen’s sake.
Old Master Ye, looking grave, turned to Rong Qi, “Rong Qi, did you do it?”
“No, Grandpa,” Rong Qi said.
Rong Qi appeared exceptionally calm pared to Mrs. Ye Sr.’s fury.
Mrs. Ye Sr. was nearly seething with rage, unable to believe Old Master Ye still trusted Rong Qi despite the evidence.
However, Crescent also spoke up, his gaze fixed on Old Master Ye, “I usually wouldn’t intervene in family matters, but I must speak. The lady sitting beside you, Rong Qi, has an ominous aura and strong karmic energy. She may be a reincarnated jinx. It’s best to keep a distance, or else those close to her will be drained of their vitality and meet unfortunate ends.”
“Is Rong Qi really that dangerous?”
“I believe it’s true. Master Crescent is Master Zenith’s disciple, his spiritual depth isn’t ordinary. He wouldn’t speak without evidence.”
“Why else would Rong Qi always keep to herself?”
With Crescent’s statement, murmurs rose among the crowd.
Ye Nanshen’s aura turned frosty. Rong Qi took his hand, seemingly preparing for the inevitable oute.
Madam Liu stepped forward, “Father, for peace of mind, please confine Rong Qi to the attic. Otherwise, our family will never have peace!”
“I also request that Rong Qi be confined to the attic.”
“Master, we all agree with Mrs. Ye Sr. and Madam Liu. We’re all so scared..”
