The maid servants rushed in to take a look. All they saw was that the second young lady, Dong Yiyun, looked as if she had been raped!
The screams almost woke everyone in the Dong family up.
An hour later, the room was filled with cries. Madam Dong was holding her stepdaughter in her arms, and her heart ached terribly. Dong Yiyun had also woken up. She did not feel anything, butâ¦
She was dumbfounded by what happened.
âAre you going to tell me or not?! Who exactly is the adulterer?! Heâs simply audacious, daring to barge into the residence and do such⦠shameless things!â Master Dong could not contain his anger.
âI didnâtâ¦â Dong Yiyun shook her head. âFather, I donât know anything⦠Youâre lying to me, right? How could I⦠Impossible!â
âWhen will you be as sensible as your sister!â Master Dong was so angry that he was trembling. âIf you donât tell me the truth, Iâll poison you to death with a cup of poisonous wine so that you wonât embarrass your sister!â
Dong Yiyunâs eyes were also red with anger.
She did not do anything, why did they not believe her?!
Moreover, there was a thief in her house, and she was raped. Why did her father not investigate it for her?!
âFather, donât talk about my sister like that. She didnât want that to happen either. P-Perhaps that man was too aggressive. She didnât dare to resistâ¦â Dong Xiyun stood forward.
Madam Dongâs eyes were filled with resentment as she looked at her nominal eldest daughter.
Although her second daughter was not her biological daughter, she was raised by her. Her personality was simple and she was not as well-rounded as her sister, Xiyun!
âDo you⦠know who that man is?!â Master Dong tried hard to suppress his anger in front of his eldest daughter.
âI-Iâm not sureâ¦â Dong Xiyun looked worried.
âItâs you who harmed me! Was it you? Iâm your biological sister, remember?! Why do you torture me over and over again?!â Hearing her sisterâs words, how could Dong Yiyun not understand?
She was not sure?! What was she talking about?!
Dong Xiyunâs face was filled with sadness. âSister, Iâm not trying to set you up. Itâs just that I wonât be able to hide it after something like this has happened. There were so many maid servants and grannies in the courtyard who had heard it. If someone were to spread it, wouldnât your reputation be ruined? Why donât you⦠confess and get married openly? Itâs better than⦠sneaking around secretlyâ¦â
Dong Yiyun was so angry that she wanted to kill someone!
It was her fault, her fault for being too naive!
She thought her sister would change. Even when the Fourth Prince came over to ask her sister about her preferences and even said that her sister seemed to be particularly concerned about Young Lady Xie, she tried her best to put in a good word for her. She was wrong. She should not have been so foolish and let others plot against her for nothing!
However, she could not understand. This was her biological sister. Why did she wish for her to die?!
âWho is it?!â
âFather, didnât I say earlier that my sister likes First Young Master Xie? I think there are quite a few guards in our residence. The only one who can come and go without a trace and even use such dirty tricks like sleeping incense, perhaps⦠it was that banditâ¦â Dong Xiyun said hesitantly.
Dong Yiyun felt as if her brain was about to explode. âItâs not him! âThereâs no one. I didnât commit adultery with anyone. Itâs my sister whoâs spouting nonsense and harming me! Mother, he saved me twice. Heâs not a bandit! Itâs my sister whoâs framing me. Iâve never crossed the line in any wayâ¦â
She cried, but she was mad.
She wanted to calm down, but she could not.
In comparison, it was as if one of them had been exposed and the other could not bear to continue covering up.
Madam Dong trusted her second daughter, but she would not be the one who could call the shots for this kind of thing, while Master Dong firmly believed what Dong Xiyun said..
