After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

The police arrived the next day and took statements from those who needed to be taken and conducted inspections as needed.

Ye Wanyin must have used some kind of spell on Cheng Yanye again, because he actually admitted that he wanted to do something to Ye Wanyin, which is why he used the drug.

However, since the two were engaged, Ye Wanyin stated that she would not pursue the matter further...

As for Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu? Sorry, they were just collateral damage.

Moreover, blood test results also proved that they were not severely affected by the medication, which makes perfect sense.

In other words, Ye Sanqing can basically only ask for some compensation.

If we file a lawsuit now, it will still take some time before the trial begins.

The most troubled person is Zhu Song. If a legal troublemaker appears, his episode will be canceled.

This result was acceptable for Zhu Song, and was somewhat expected, but Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu were not very satisfied.

After the police left, Ye Wanyin raised her eyebrows triumphantly at Ye Sanqing.

"..." Ye Sanqing looked around.

The live stream hadn't started yet, and everyone else unrelated to the incident was inside the room; only a few people involved were outside.

So Ye Sanqing walked over, picked up Ye Wanyin with one hand, and walked out.

"Let me go, sister!" Ye Wanyin struggled and shouted.

What? Can't I even look at her?

“Shut up, or I’ll make you shut up manually,” Ye Sanqing said.

Cheng Yanye wanted to chase after him to stop him, but Mu Zhihong held him back.

“Xiao Ye, the conflict between the sisters is not something you need to resolve,” Mu Zhihong said. “Besides, your presence will only make things more chaotic. Just trust Wanwan this once.”

Cheng Yanye was not entirely at ease, but thinking back to how his previous involvement hadn't yielded any good results, he could only anxiously pace around the yard.

"Young Master Cheng, shall we discuss compensation?" Sheng Hanyu said.

"You're alright, aren't you? There's no need for compensation." Cheng Yanye didn't take these words to heart at all.

Ye Wanyin told him that she thought the fragrance was just a simple allergen, and she didn't know it contained aphrodisiac ingredients.

The seller may have sent the wrong item.

Ye Wanyin's explanation was utterly absurd, but coupled with her innocent and self-reproachful expression, Cheng Yanye felt so sorry for her that he couldn't bear to see his Wanwan suffer any criticism.

"That's what you think? Okay then." Sheng Hanyu didn't say anything more, just nodded and walked away.

Since you're not planning to talk now, let's wait for the court hearing.

"If you don't want to talk, I'll talk to them," Mu Zhihong advised, seeing Cheng Yanye's indifferent attitude. "Remember, don't get into any more conflicts with them. You have connections with the Ye family, but not with the Gong family."

"I know, I know, it's so annoying." Cheng Yanye waved his hand as if shooing away a fly.

Ye Sanqing pulled Ye Wanyin to a deserted riverbank before stopping, her hand still gripping the back of Ye Wanyin's collar.

"Ye Wanyin, I'll ask you one more time, when exactly will you stop what you're doing?" Ye Sanqing tightened his grip slightly, exuding an aura that threatened to push her down if her answer didn't satisfy him.

"Sister, you've misunderstood me. It was clearly Brother Yan Ye who attacked me this time. I'm the victim here."

The river wasn't deep, but it was cold, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the surface. Getting pushed in wouldn't be pleasant.

Ye Wanyin said this because she was certain that Ye Sanqing would not actually make a move.

Ye Sanqing pushed her forward, "If you like being a victim so much, then be one to your heart's content."

With that push, Ye Wanyin had one foot already on the edge of the riverbank.

She desperately leaned back, trying to escape Ye Sanqing's grip, but Ye Sanqing's hand had changed from holding her by the collar to clamping her neck, like an iron clamp that could not be shaken.

"I told you I'm the victim!" Ye Wanyin shouted when she couldn't break free.

"I already said, you can be, and you can be today too." Ye Sanqing continued to exert force. "I can make sure you can't get out after you fall in. Do you want to try?"

Ye Wanyin's little tricks really annoyed her.

That's right, she never falls for her traps, but even after she sets up her defenses, her opponents can't really be hit. It's all because the damage is too low; even if they retaliate, it's useless.

It's like someone throws a banana peel at you. You dodge it and don't slip, and the banana peel can't cause you any physical harm. But the most reasonable counterattack is just to throw the banana peel back at you.

But the banana peels just wouldn't stop, so the only solution was to cut down all of the other person's banana trees.

Ye Sanqing is currently cutting down trees.

"In other words, what exactly do you want to do to me?" Now that things had come to this, Ye Sanqing's patience returned. "Or what do you want me to do?"

"I hope my sister won't misunderstand me and can be my true sister..." Ye Wanyin naturally didn't easily reveal her true feelings.

"Speak like a human." Ye Sanqing gave her another push, and now Ye Wanyin had to rely on Ye Sanqing's strength to hold her up so she wouldn't fall into the river.

"..." Ye Wanyin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Don't try to take Yan Ye away from me."

This was just a delaying tactic on her part; in reality, she was thinking about what she could say to make Ye Sanqing satisfied and let go.

"I..." Ye Sanqing laughed angrily, "I've said eight hundred times that we don't collect garbage, and you haven't heard a single word?"

"Okay, then don't try to take Hanyu away from me," Ye Wanyin said again.

Although she had already understood Sheng Hanyu's attitude, that was under the premise that Ye Sanqing was present.

If Ye Sanqing stops paying attention to the other party, the outcome is still uncertain.

"First of all, how many good... no, how many men do you want? But that's your freedom, and I have no right to interfere. Similarly, I have the freedom to make friends, and you have no right to interfere," Ye Sanqing said.

She thought her words were very logical, but to her surprise, Ye Wanyin seemed to have been stimulated by something, and her struggle became more intense.

"How is Yan Ye inferior to Han Yu? You gave up on him so easily, but why can't you let go of Han Yu? You even said you have no intention of dating? How can we be sisters with such a lie?"

"..." Ye Sanqing felt his brain freeze upon hearing these words. "No, if you think Cheng Yanye is good enough, then why do you need anyone else? Besides, it's your freedom to pursue whomever you want, and I didn't stop you, so what's the point of telling me all this?"

"...?" Ye Wanyin was equally unable to understand Ye Sanqing's line of thinking. "You're occupying this place while talking to me about pursuing freedom? Is this freedom yours alone?"

"I don't feel like I need to explain to you, but that's just how it is," Ye Sanqing said. "I've said I'm not dating him. If you want to pursue him, go ahead. If you can't, you should go find him. Why are you coming to me? Are you that stupid?"

"Then you have to help me pursue him, otherwise I still won't trust you," Ye Wanyin said, rolling her eyes.

"Do you believe me? It's his freedom to choose whoever he wants. Do you think I have to interfere with other people's freedom for your sake in order to be your sister? Why don't you ask your older sister for that?"

"...In short, if you don't help me, then we can't be sisters." Ye Wanyin said through gritted teeth.

She calls herself the eldest sister? If she heard this, her eldest sister might just say, "Then don't do it," and throw her out of the house.

"Is it possible that I actually didn't want to be sisters with you?" Ye Sanqing let go of her hand.

"!" Ye Wanyin didn't expect her to let go, and slipped into the water while struggling.

She struggled for a while before finally managing to stand up, clinging to the riverbank. The water only reached her calves, but even in the dead of winter, it was still quite uncomfortable.

Shivering from the cold, Ye Wanyin looked up and said, "Sister, if this makes you feel better, I'll just stay here..."

Ye Sanqing squatted down, staring at her as he said, "I'm very dissatisfied with your answer. I asked you how to stop your behavior, and what did you say? That you should help me chase after men? If I disfigure you now, will the problem of chasing men disappear?"

As she spoke, her hands didn't stop; she was searching for sharp stones on the ground.

Ye Wanyin was startled when she saw her like this.

If the other party is capable of pushing someone into the water, then casually slashing their face is just... a piece of cake.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered something unrelated.

If she possessed the martial arts prowess of Ye Sanqing, she wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble and scheming to gain her own interests in the past.

Why is it that she can attract men's attention just by standing there? Why is it that she can get expensive jewelry as soon as she goes home? It was me who lived in that house for more than 20 years!

A huge surge of emotion rose within her, and then exploded.

Whether out of jealousy or resentment, she shouted, "Do you think everyone is as lucky as you! Wouldn't it have been better if you had just stayed in the countryside? Why did you come back? If you hadn't come back, none of this would have happened!"

"Me, lucky?" Ye Sanqing pointed to himself and suddenly laughed.

"Master..." The little insect seemed to sense that Ye Sanqing's anger had exceeded the threshold and spoke up to remind him.

It knew that although His Majesty appeared calm on the surface, he was suppressing a volcano that was about to erupt in his heart.

No one wants to be thrown from their familiar place into another world, accept a strange identity, and at the same time have to try to survive.

Besides, she also had such heavy responsibilities on her shoulders; these two hundred years were not just about the glorious moments on that throne.

More often than not, there was bloodshed, resource scarcity, and years of war, not to mention the infighting within the court and the precariousness of his ascension to the throne... But His Majesty weathered it all.

"It's alright." Ye Sanqing knew that excessive anger would affect his health, so he took a few deep breaths and said to Ye Wanyin, "You are the one who is truly lucky, and you are also the one who is never satisfied."

Ye Wanyin was in a daze.

What was that emotion Ye Sanqing just displayed? He's only lived in the countryside for over twenty years, and life there should be pretty good... It shouldn't be like that...

She shouldn't have this overwhelming grief and indignation.
