The old lady hurriedly spoke to stop him, her tone anxious and distressed, "Shuwen, where are you going? How can you stay at an inn when you can't live at home? Even if you hadn't saved Qingyu today, your relatives wouldn't let you live outside. Just stay here with peace of mind, and let the boss take you out for a walk and meet more people."

"This..." Ye Shuwen looked a little hesitant.

"Shuwen, just listen to your grandmother and stay here peacefully."

Ye Shuwen glanced at Ye Qingyu and said, "However, if I stay here, I'm afraid my cousin will be unhappy. I'd better leave."

Lord Ye glared at Ye Qingyu with displeasure, "Hmph, you don't have to care about her. It's not her turn to have the final say in this family."

In the end, Ye Shuwen reluctantly agreed to stay.

Lord Ye glared at Ye Qingyu and said sternly, "Ye Qingyu, you still have the nerve to sit there? Kneel down!"

Ye Qingyu's expression remained calm and she knelt down obediently.

"Do you know your mistake?"

"My daughter is telling the truth. I wonder what you think I did wrong?" Ye Qingyu asked neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Lord Ye was furious. "You've learned all the etiquette you need! You still don't acknowledge Shuwen's life-saving grace. Do you really want me to call the driver who drove you today to confront him?"

"Qingyu, your grandmother taught you to do good deeds and accumulate virtue since you were young, and to repay kindness. Your behavior today really disappoints me and brings shame to the Marquisate. If this matter gets out, regardless of how others view you, even the other people in the Marquisate will be unable to hold their heads up. Do you want me, an old man, to be ridiculed and mocked by others until I am old?"

The old lady was so ashamed and angry that she felt as if Ye Qingyu had committed murder and arson.

"Qingyu, think about it carefully, was it really not this young master who saved you?"

Wu looked at her worriedly. Looking at the expressions of the old lady and Marquis Ye, she really doubted whether Ye Qingyu would admit it.

Zhou followed up, "That's right, Qingyu, you should think about it carefully."

Ye Qingya watched as everyone in the room pressed Ye Qingyu to acknowledge the favor. Even though Ye Qingyu had said it wasn't Ye Shuwen who saved her, her uncle and grandmother seemed certain that Ye Qingyu wouldn't acknowledge her benefactor. What was going on?

"She already said it wasn't this person, so why are you forcing her to do anything?"

The old lady glared at Ye Qingya, "Qingya, shut up!"

Lord Ye looked at Ye Qingyu coldly, "Ye Qingyu, are you determined not to admit it?"

Ye Qingyu smiled coldly, "If I admit it, it would be disrespectful to my savior."

"Okay, okay, okay, come here, call the coachman in!" Lord Ye gritted his teeth, his face turning ashen with anger at her refusal to admit her attitude.

"I greet the Marquis and the old lady."

"Well, Sun Er, come and identify whether this is the young master who saved you."

Sun Er looked at Ye Shuwen and knelt down in front of him with a plop, tears streaming down his face. "Master Ye, thank you so much for saving my young lady and me. If it weren't for you, my young lady would have been kidnapped, and I would have been killed by those thieves. You are truly a living Bodhisattva sent down from heaven. I kowtow to you and thank you so much for saving my life."

Lord Ye looked at Ye Qingyu coldly, "What else do you have to say?"

With a witness, the way everyone in the room looked at Ye Qingyu changed.

"Miss, how can you not acknowledge your benefactor? In order to escape, you knocked me off the carriage. If you hadn't saved me, I would have lost my life." Sun Er cried with tears and snot, and his words were full of condemnation of Ye Qingyu.

"Evil girl, you dare to abandon your servants and run away! Who taught you to be so vicious?"

"Since I escaped on my own, what does this life-saving grace have to do with me? He is your benefactor, right?" Ye Qingyu said lightly.

Sun Er paused in his sobbing, but Ye Qingyu caught the loophole in his words. "Miss, you are wrong to say that. If it weren't for the benefactor who captured the thieves behind you, how could you have escaped?"

Ye Qingyu raised her eyebrows, "Have you captured them all? Then why not bring those thieves up for interrogation?"

Ye Shuwen lowered his eyes in panic, "Those thieves have escaped."

Ye Qingyu sneered, "Really? What a great time to escape."

"Father, this is just Sun Er's one-sided account. My daughter Nianchun was with me at the time, so he wasn't the only witness."

Lord Ye was stunned because he had not seen Nianchun for a long time and he had forgotten about the maid who was with Ye Qingyu.

Sun Er's expression became panic, and he spoke with a guilty conscience, "Miss, your maid will naturally do whatever you say."

Lord Ye said, "Humph, Ye Qingyu, you are not as sensible and grateful as a servant."

"Since Nianchun is also in the car, we can't just listen to this servant's words. Uncle, let Nianchun come in and speak. With your and Grandmother's authority, she wouldn't dare to tell the truth."

Although Ye Qingya didn't quite understand what was going on, she roughly understood the purpose of her uncle and the old lady, which was to force Ye Qingyu to acknowledge the favor of Ye Shuwen, although she didn't know what their purpose was in doing so.

"You don't get the point if you interrupt the master." The old lady glared at her, then turned and looked at Ye Qingyu coldly, "Qingyu, you still refuse to admit it, right? Your girl has grown up with you, and you hold her indenture. Her words are not enough to convince her. If you are so stubborn, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down in front of me. When you figure it out, come out again!"

"You so-called relatives, are forcing Qingyu to acknowledge a fictitious benefactor. What kind of filthy intentions do you have?"

The door of the hall was kicked open with a bang, and a beautiful lady in gorgeous purple clothes walked quickly to Ye Qingyu's side.

Hearing the voice of the person coming, Ye Qingyu's face, which had been calm and stubborn from beginning to end, was suddenly full of grievance. She looked at the beautiful woman, her pair of dark and clear eyes filled with tears.

"Third aunt..."

It was the living third aunt, not the lifeless one lying in a pool of blood.

At this moment, she finally felt the reality of her rebirth.

"Third aunt, wuwu..." Ye Qingyu hugged the beautiful woman and cried heartbrokenly.
