Chapter 173 The Le Family's Daughter

After Qingqing put on her clothes, she did not go to the next room, but jumped directly from the upstairs to the ground. If she fell freely from such a high distance on purpose, she would either die or be crippled!

Fortunately, Ye Qi discovered it in time, rescued her, dragged her into the room, pressed her against the table, and waited until she calmed down before letting go!

"I've brought shame upon the Le family. Now, I've entered Leyang City without my parents' consent. I've truly brought disgrace upon the Le family!"

Qingqing couldn't hold back the suppressed emotions in her heart and burst into tears. Her voice reached the ears of those outside. For a moment, those who didn't know the inside story were all imagining things.

"Qingqing, what happened? Who are you wearing mourning clothes for?"

Hearing Ye Qi asking about this, Qingqing could no longer hold back her tears and they rolled down. Her chest was heaving and could not calm down for a long time. This invisible pressure made her breathless.

While the three of them were sitting quietly in the room, the Le family's undercover agent had already passed the news to the head of the Le family. He had always disliked this daughter who had brought shame to himself and his family. Now these rumors had spread throughout the entire Leyang City. Wouldn't this make people point at his Le family and mock them for having a weak family tradition?

If he let her off easily, how would the women of the Le family get married in the future, and how would the men of the Le family make their living in the world? This was truly a bad apple that spoiled the whole barrel. This evil child he had given birth to was going to cause chaos!

"You bastard, you actually brazenly committed such a vile act during your grandfather's mourning period!"

Just when Ye Qi wanted to comfort her, the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, and the hand Ye Qi just extended seemed particularly abrupt. Normal men and women know that it is not advisable to touch each other, but the two of them behaved so intimately. It is hard not to imagine that Qingqing was divorced by her husband's family for no reason. Was it because she seduced men?

"Father! I didn't do that. I'm innocent. How could I do something that would bring shame to the Le family?"

Seeing that her father had misunderstood, Qingqing hurried over and slammed her knees on the floor, and then she began to explain. However, she knew that her father was not happy about it and was afraid that he would not believe her.

"Who is your father? From now on, you are no longer the daughter of my Le family. Get out of here with your bastard man!"

Just as the head of the Le family finished speaking, a graceful figure appeared in front of him at an extremely fast speed, and just as the white jade sword was about to pierce the throat of the head of the Le family, Qingqing suddenly grasped the blade with both hands.

"Miss Qingqing!" Mu Qingyao called out subconsciously when she saw Qingqing holding a sharp blade in both hands and blood flowing freely.

"He is my father, I can't just watch him die!" Qingqing said with tears in her eyes.

Just when Mu Qingyao was distracted, a man suddenly appeared beside her at an extremely fast speed. Before she could react, he slapped her on the shoulder. The man immediately flew backwards and smashed hard into the wooden table.

Fortunately, Ye Qi rescued her in time, preventing her from suffering a second injury. But even so, Mu Qingyao's shoulders, which were vaguely exposed through the gauze, were obviously red and swollen, which showed that this person was extremely powerful!

"How could we, the dignified Le family, allow two young brats like you to show off your power here?" The head of the Le family walked away with a look of disdain on his face.

"I'm sorry for getting you into trouble!" After seeing her father leave, Qingqing bent down with an apologetic look on her face and bowed deeply to apologize.

Seeing this, Ye Qi hurriedly helped her up and said, "We're all friends, there's no need to be like this. It's just that you seem to be... I don't mean to pry into your privacy, I just want to know, what can we do to help you?"

"If you want to know, that's fine, but it's a long story!"

Seeing her suddenly hesitant and awkward in her words, completely lacking the cheerful and free-spirited demeanor she had in the trial grounds, Mu Qingyao immediately became interested and said frankly, "It's okay, we can listen slowly!"

Mu Qingyao's sudden words made Qingqing feel a little overwhelmed. After calming down, she sat down and said, "Over the years, my Le family has grown greatly in strength in just a few years because of the free income from Traveler Port, and my father's ambition has also grown. In recent years, my father has intended to win over the Lin family to join forces and thoroughly consolidate the control of Traveler Port. So, when I came of age, he betrothed me to the eldest son of the Lin family. Women from big families like ours have no say in their marriages. I had already accepted my fate, but I didn't expect that what I received in the end was a divorce letter. I never even set foot in the Lin family. My innocent body was as dirty as mud because of a few words written by him. I became the laughing stock of the entire Leyang City. For the sake of the Le family's reputation, my father drove me out of Leyang City!"

"How is that possible? Since you have never even entered the Lin family, why do you have to belittle yourself?" Ye Qi felt sympathy for her situation, but his heart was also full of doubts and confusion.

Seeing Ye Qi's curiosity, he mustered up the courage to keep his words to himself. He took a deep breath and said, "How could it be that easy? In this world, if a woman is divorced, she is considered unfaithful. Do you think that marriage certificate is just a piece of paper? It is a shackle that imprisons a woman for life. A man as carefree as you will never understand the helplessness of women in this world!"

Ye Qi was in disbelief after hearing this, but when he looked at Mu Qingyao, she nodded with a depressed look. Perhaps because of her physical condition, she was not forced to marry someone she didn't like.

"But I believe that Master Ye is a man who would never betray his friends. That's why I'm willing to tell you these secrets of a girl's family. So I hope Master Ye can help me keep the secret!"

Ye Qi scratched his head awkwardly, but suddenly he understood something. No wonder Luo Yanxin, despite having a different personality from him, was so concerned about their marriage. Qingqing's words revealed the sadness of girls, and he didn't know how to have the best of both worlds!

"Mr. Ye?" Seeing Ye Qi lost in thought, Qingqing called out tentatively.

"Qingqing, please don't call me Mr. Ye. It sounds awkward. Just call me Ye Qi as before. I still like you back then!" Ye Qi said with a wry smile.

However, Qingqing's pretty face turned red. The word "like" means two different things when spoken from a man and heard from a woman. However, she did not scold him for his obscene words. It was Mu Qingyao who saw something. After being together for a long time, she knew that Ye Qi's words were always direct expressions of praise or approval, but these unintentional words were easily misunderstood!

Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming awkward, Mu Qingyao quickly spoke up to help: "Ms. Qingqing, are you coming home this time to see Grandpa for the last time?"

Qingqing nodded. Her grandfather had always treated her the best since she was young. If she couldn't even see him for the last time, she would never be able to forgive herself in her entire life. She even felt a little regretful. She didn't lower her attitude and beg her husband's family not to divorce her. Even if they could spend their whole lives respecting each other, at least it wouldn't be so difficult to even see her grandfather!

"Then what are you waiting for? If you're any later, the flowers will be cold. I'll take you to see Grandpa!"

After hearing this hard-to-believe but true story, Ye Qi felt disgusted with the irresponsible young master of the Lin family and the head of the Le family who drove his daughter out of the house for profit after she was wronged. In the end, all the suffering and right and wrong were borne by a powerless woman. He was really unworthy of being a father and a husband!

Thinking of this, Ye Qi was so angry that he immediately stood up, grabbed Qingqing's wrist and was about to pull her home, but unexpectedly Qingqing broke free and said with tears: "No! This is my business, I can't let you get involved anymore, the worst that can happen... the worst that can happen is that I will go to the underworld to accompany Grandpa!"

"What bullshit are you talking about! I'm going to take you to see Grandpa today. If anyone dares to stop you, I have a sword in my hand!"
