Xiu'er's face turned pale with anger. She angrily asked, "You, how could you say such harsh words? What right do you have to humiliate our young lady? She is pure and innocent, and is the most precious second young lady of the Ye family!"
Deputy General Han laughed bitterly, narrowing his eyes as he said, "What a pure and innocent woman! In your mouth, pure and innocent can be compared to offering oneself for the bed!"
Xiu'er argued loudly: "No, you are talking nonsense!"
Lieutenant General Han ignored her and turned to look at the soldiers watching the excitement and said, "Don't be fooled by her pitiful appearance. She and her daughter are harboring evil intentions. They are trying to get their hands on our Marquis like a dog-skin plaster. Before, when we were at the City Lord's Mansion, they even used dirty medicine to offer themselves to him. Fortunately, the Marquis saw through it in time, otherwise, he would have been caught by them!"
Everyone was in an uproar, spitting at Xiu'er one after another: "You master and servant are really shameless. No wonder you rushed to catch up with us in the middle of the night. It turns out you wanted to seduce our Marquis!"
Xiu'er was so scared that she hid backwards. She subconsciously pulled the straw raincoat on her body tightly, but it was pulled off by Lieutenant General Han.
He stomped his feet hard on the ground and said, "It's dirty, too dirty. I can't use it at all!"
After saying that, he asked everyone to disperse quickly.
Xiu'er stumbled away and after stepping onto the carriage, she burst into tears: "Miss, this servant is so ashamed!"
Ye Ling's weak voice came immediately: "I heard everything, Xiu'er, don't cry. Even if we, master and servant, have to endure humiliation, we must force Zhan Yan to take us in!"
Xiu'er looked at her worriedly: "He's avoiding me, what else can I do, Miss?"
Ye Ling smiled bitterly: "Everything depends on human effort. Help me out, and I'll personally explain the misunderstanding of offering myself as a partner. Otherwise, this scandal will stick to us forever and we won't be able to get rid of it no matter what!"
Xiu'er didn't hesitate any longer and quickly reached out to help her up.
Ye Ling was only wearing a plain brocade skirt, and the wounds caused by the whipping had already oozed a lot of blood.
When her fair little face was drenched by the rain, it revealed a fragile, pitiful and broken beauty.
She trembled as she walked to the outside of Zhan Yan's tent and said in a hoarse voice, "Marquis Zhan Yi, Ye Ling is here to apologize to you. That night was truly a misunderstanding. The drug on the brocade skirt was put there by my concubine who took the initiative. It was not my intention!"
"I've already taken her punishment. Look, my father whipped me fifty times with his own hands. There's still blood flowing from my back!"
She stood stubbornly in the heavy rain, and sure enough, blood kept dripping down with the rain.
Deputy General Han and his men hid in the tent to watch the fun. The soldier next to him whispered, "This Miss Ye Ling is truly pitiful. Look at how stubborn she is. It doesn't look like she's resorting to dirty tricks!"
Another person followed suit, "Well, didn't she just say it? It was her aunt who did it. I'm afraid she was also tricked!"
Deputy General Han clenched his fist in anger: "Is he still a human being? He even plotted against his own daughter!"
The soldier next to him said, "General, why don't you go and ask the Marquis for mercy? She was already whipped, and now she's been caught in the rain. Even strong men like us can't stand it!"
Lieutenant General Han looked over and saw that Ye Ling was staggering and had fallen into the mud.
Without hesitation, he rushed towards Ye Ling.
At this moment, Shadow Soul, who had opened a crack in the tent, turned to report to Zhan Yan: "My Lord, General Han has shown his kindness again and has taken the initiative to help someone!"
Zhan Yan paused while drinking the ginger soup and asked without hesitation, "Han Lie isn't married yet, right?"
Yinghun shook his head: "No, he said that he hasn't saved enough money for a wife yet, and since he's not at home all year round, there's no one to arrange a marriage for him!"
Zhan Yan was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Then I'll take care of it for him!"
Yinghun's eyes lit up: "My Lord, do you mean to pair up the second young lady of the Ye family with him?"
Zhan Yan nodded: "Go out and tell her that if she wants to stay, she can only go to Han Lie's tent, otherwise, tell her to get out!"
"Yes!" Yinghun hurriedly walked out.
Han Lie was comforting Ye Ling when he suddenly saw Ying Hun approaching quickly. He asked anxiously, "Guard Ying, what did the Marquis say?"
Shadow Soul said, "The Marquis is merciful. He said he can let Miss Ye live in your tent. If she doesn't agree, she will have to leave!"
Han Lie looked at Ye Ling, whose face was covered in tears, somewhat helplessly: "Second Miss Ye, why don't you just bear with it for a while? Don't worry, I'm not in the tent. I'll go squeeze in with my subordinates!"
Ye Ling finally agreed, because this was already the closest she and Zhan Yan were to each other.
And her body really can't take it!
She is almost dying of pain!
She was helped into the tent by Xiu'er and collapsed on the ground.
Xiu'er burst into tears: "Miss, how are you?"
Ye Ling shook his head firmly: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry, I know my body well!"
At this time, Han Lie walked in quickly with a bowl of ginger soup and said, "Miss Ye, drink a bowl to drive away the cold!"
Ye Ling took it with a look of gratitude, saying, "General, your kindness is so great. Ling'er will never forget it. I will repay you in my next life by tying a knot with a grass and holding a ring in my hand."
Han Lie waved his hand quickly: "No need, Miss Ye Er, you are too polite. You are so badly injured, no one will stand idly by and watch!"
Xiu'er wiped Ye Ling's face with a handkerchief while complaining angrily, "Didn't the Marquis just stand by and watch her die? He's so cruel! He knew the young lady was innocent, yet he allowed his disgusting guards to spread her bad name!"
Ye Ling interrupted anxiously: "Xiu'er, don't talk about the Marquis like that, he just still has a misunderstanding about me!"
Xiu'er's eyes suddenly turned red with grievance: "Miss, it's already this time, and you are still speaking for him. All along the way, you begged him to clear up the misunderstanding, but he simply avoided you and didn't even give you this chance!"
Ye Ling coughed violently with an ugly expression. She waved her hands repeatedly: "He's still angry. Once he calms down, he will definitely not be like this anymore!"
When Lieutenant General Han saw how considerate she was, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He almost blurted out: "I will help you to ask the Marquis to clear up the misunderstanding and clear your name!"
Ye Ling looked at him with surprise: "Really? General, are you willing to help me?"
Han Lie nodded heavily: "Well, I can't just watch Miss Ye suffer the injustice alone!"
Ye Ling coughed with difficulty: "But he won't see me at all. He avoids me like a snake or scorpion!"
Han Lie clenched his fists quickly. "What should we do? Miss Ye Er, tell me, how can we get the Marquis to see you?"
Ye Ling cursed in his heart, what a fool!
But he still put on a sad face: "Why don't you try and tell him I have something important to report to him, it concerns my father's armory, and he will definitely come!"
