Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

Chapter 70: The "Cannon Fodder" General Disguised as a Man (15)

That year, Ye Ling and Ye An went to Huguo Temple together to burn incense.

Unexpectedly, the two siblings encountered bandits on their way back, and none of the servants who went with them survived!

After returning, Ye Ling was in a miserable state and only brought back Ye An's body.

According to Ye Ling's tearful complaint, Ye An died at the hands of bandits in order to protect her!

Looking at the debris on the ground, Sui Ning said nonchalantly, "When Ye Ling returned safely, did she tell you that she was saved by the King of Qi?"

Aunt Li nodded in a daze.

Ever since Ye Ling regained consciousness, even her temperament has changed. Even her mother sometimes can't see through her.

She always felt that things were not that simple.

"My aunt may not know this yet, but it was actually she who saved the King of Qi's life. Think carefully, my aunt, has the King of Qi treated her differently since then?"

Aunt Li was slightly startled.

Since that incident, King Qi sent many gifts of thanks to the Ye Mansion and often helped Ye Ling with matters big and small.

When I first asked Ye Ling, she just looked shy.

Seeing this, she thought that King Qi had romantic feelings for Ye Ling.

If it was really as Sui Ning said, then her An'er...

Thinking of this, Aunt Li couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.

Sui Ning took in Aunt Li's expression and continued, "I know words are not enough, but I happen to have nothing to do today. Why don't you come with me to meet someone?"

"Anything you want to know, you will get the answer from him."

The two of them walked all the way to the restaurant. Sui Ning whispered a few words to the shopkeeper, and then went into a private room.

At this moment, a man wearing a conical hat had been waiting in the room for a long time.

Upon seeing Sui Ning, the man immediately took off his hat and knelt before her, "I greet the Second Young Master!"

Sui Ning looked at Aunt Li and said, "Aunt, take a good look. Does this person look familiar to you?"

The man in front of him had a scar running across his face, which looked terrifying, but the face was very familiar.

Aunt Li's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Li Gui? How did you become like this? Didn't you already..."

Li Gui is her nephew from her mother's side, and he has been working as a groom for Ye An.

Before, when Ye Ling and Ye An went to Huguo Temple together, he followed them all the way and died together with Ye An.

No one knows better than him how Ye An got into trouble!

Aunt Li was desperate to know the truth. She grabbed Li Gui and asked frantically, "Li Gui, tell me how An'er died! What exactly happened that day?!"

Li Gui also cried and said, "Aunt, the eldest son was killed by mistake!"

"Manslaughter?! What happened?"

When Li Gui recalls what happened, he still can't help trembling all over.

That day.

Ye An and Ye Ling were returning from burning incense at Huguo Temple when it suddenly started to rain on the way.

They could only drive to a dilapidated temple to shelter from the rain.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside. The man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with knife wounds all over his body, and blood was pouring out!

He staggered and kept shouting "Save me", and then fainted.

Ye Ling wanted to save this person.

In her opinion, this person was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore the finest white jade around his waist. He must be a child of a prominent family.

If they rescued him, the Ye Mansion would soar to the sky!

But Ye An doesn't think so.

Although this person has a prominent background, he is being hunted by someone and they don't know the other person's background.

The waters of the capital have always been complicated, and the grudges between the aristocratic families are not something that a small Ye family like them can easily interfere with.

As a result, the two had serious disagreements.

Just as the two were arguing, a group of men in black suddenly rushed in from outside the temple.

"Have you seen a seriously injured person come in?"

Ye An was about to hand the man over when Ye Ling said, "No! We didn't see him!"

But the man in black saw people entering the dilapidated temple with his own eyes, so how could he easily believe Ye Ling's words?

Then they drew their swords and killed several of the servants on the spot, and continued to press them, "I'll ask again, have you seen anything?!"

Seeing the corpse lying at her feet, Ye Ling was terrified, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "No... We didn't see anything."

But facing this group of murderous assassins, Ye An was not going to indulge Ye Ling, "I saw it!"

"Big brother!"

Ye An blurted out: "Are you talking about the man in brocade clothes covered in wounds? I know where he is..."

Long before this group of men in black came in, Ye Ling quickly moved people behind the Buddha statue.

"Brother! What are you doing?!"

Seeing that Ye Ling was still trying to stop him, before Ye An could rebuke him, the man in black beside him was furious, "How dare you play tricks on us!"

As he said that, the man in black raised his sword and was about to chop at Ye Ling.

Ye Ling panicked and instinctively pushed Ye An in front of her away.

Ye An was pierced through the chest by a long sword and died instantly.

Before he died, his eyes widened and he looked at Ye Ling in disbelief, his eyes full of disappointment and horror!

After Ye An's death, the group of men in black were afraid that the matter would be leaked, so they drew their swords and started killing the servants present.

Just when they were about to attack Ye Ling, Song Yan's men arrived in time and rescued her!

Li Gui was lucky. His injuries were not serious and he was lying in a corner, so he managed to survive.

But after witnessing everything, he was also frightened.

He didn't dare to go back to the Ye Mansion, so he had been hiding outside all this time.

After hearing all this, Aunt Li collapsed on the ground exhausted, her eyes empty and dull.

“Why…why is this happening?”

Her Ling'er used to be so innocent and kind, she wouldn't even step on an ant to death. How could this happen...

Her An'er loved his sister the most. How desperate must he have been to die at her hands...

When Aunt Li thought of this, her heart was broken and she was heartbroken.

"Impossible... This can't be true..."

Li Gui looked at Aunt Li's grief-stricken expression and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize, saying, "Aunt, I am sorry for you!"

"When that happened, I was so scared that I didn't dare to come to you. I was also afraid that you wouldn't believe what I said..."

After all, Ye Ling is Aunt Li’s biological daughter, and if things go wrong she might even be in danger of being killed!

Aunt Li calmed herself down, looked at Sui Ning, and asked, "Why did you bring me here to see Li Gui?"

It's really easy to talk to smart people.

Sui Ning asked, "Don't you think Ye Ling has become a different person since she regained consciousness?"

"She, who had never studied before, became a learned woman, composing poetry and songs effortlessly. She, once innocent and kindhearted, began to murder people and became obsessed with profit."

Aunt Li closed her eyes in pain, "I understand everything the Second Young Master said. If possible, I would rather Ling'er never regain her sanity..."

At least her An'er is still alive, and Ling'er is still as innocent and lovely as before, living a carefree life in the Ye Mansion.

"What if I say... Ye Ling is not your biological daughter now?"

Aunt Li suddenly opened her eyes, "What?!"
