The originally serious and tense atmosphere was instantly shattered by Ye Ke's shout.

"Puchi——" The aunt laughed out loud instantly. After she came to her senses, she looked around, especially Ye Wenxin's face which was flushed with anger. Suddenly she felt that this was not an appropriate time, and quickly covered her mouth to hide the bright expression on her face.

Ye Wenhui didn't have time to slap him, and the slap stopped awkwardly in mid-air.

He Siyuan was still being held tightly by Ye Wenhui's collar, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should continue begging for mercy.

The atmosphere at the scene was really ruined by Ye Ke's inexplicable words "spare his life". Ye Wenhui had no choice but to put her hand down. She was holding back her anger and frowned as she gave Ye Ke a blank look.

Terrible stuff.

Ye Ke was not afraid at all. Even when she did something wrong, she could still approach her with a shameless face. Moreover, she was just a bystander now, so of course she was even braver.

"Hehe." Ye Ke opened his mouth with a short laugh, the purpose of which was to ease the mood of everyone present.

Ye Ke slowly walked up to Ye Wenhui and He Siyuan, nudged He Siyuan with his elbow, and squeezed himself in between them to separate them so that He Siyuan wouldn't be dealt with again if they had a disagreement.

Ye Ke herself was brought up by Ye Wenhui's beatings. It wasn't just her; every other child in the Ye family, and even in Yejia Village, was beating her to death. If a child disobeyed, a beating would be enough. The only difference was the severity of the beatings. Some parents beat their children to death, while others simply wanted to teach them a lesson.

But no matter which one it is, it will leave an indelible mark on the child.

The only thing they were thankful for was that Ye Wenhui was the latter. She could discipline people, but not harshly. Furthermore, this kind of education mostly happened when they were young. Now that they had grown up, they hadn't experienced it for a long time.

Having experienced it herself, she naturally understood the drawbacks of this kind of education, and even more so, the resistance and rebellion of young people to it. Even when being taught a lesson, they knew they were wrong, but they would still grit their teeth and refuse to admit it.

Ye Ke stretched out his hand to hold Ye Wenhui's arm, both to comfort and suppress her, and said with a playful smile, "Oh, Ms. Ye, you are so angry, doesn't it ruin your outfit image today?" Today she was going for a gentle and ladylike style.

How could Ye Wenhui not understand her little trick of changing the subject? She first glared at the smiling Ye Ke, and then glared at He Siyuan who was peeking next to Ye Ke.

The brother and sister were in unison, and it seemed like they were even more angry.

But the atmosphere of the fight had passed, so Ye Wenhui had no choice but to hold back her anger, brush Ye Ke aside, and return to the sofa without saying a word. After sitting down, she stared at the siblings, waiting to see what tricks they would play.

The three elders sat together, while Ye Ke and He Siyuan stood together, creating an atmosphere of a three-court trial.

"Hey, actually, I also think Xiaoyuan is really ignorant." Ye Ke first stated her position, in order to win over the three elders. The three elders nodded repeatedly, thinking that she was right.

He Siyuan was left staring blankly with a confused look on his face.

No? I was just moved by your courage to stand up for yourself. That's it?

Ye Ke completely ignored He Siyuan's complicated emotions and continued, "Xiaoyuan is still young and hasn't experienced any hardship. He doesn't know how important education is."

These words really touched the hearts of these people. They had experienced an era where they wanted to study but couldn't. Now it was He Siyuan's turn. He really had the opportunity but didn't cherish it. Of course they were angry.
