"Don't listen to his nonsense!"
Ming Yue panicked. She had always believed Ye Xiu was unaware that the Ming Family was one of the masterminds behind the plot against him. To her shock, he had known all along.
But if he knew, why has he never taken action against my family? she wondered, unable to figure it out.
At this moment, she couldn't afford to dwell on that question. She couldn't admit the truth. If she did, the Xing Family would know her real reason for agreeing to the marriage was to use their power against Ye Xiu. So, she braced herself and demanded, "You claim the Ming Family was one of the masterminds who framed you. Do you have any evidence?"
"Are you sure you want me to present it?" Ye Xiu asked, his tone deceptively mild. "I should warn you, once I show the evidence, I'll have to take action against the Ming Family."
"The innocent have nothing to fear," Ming Yue said with a shrug. "If you have evidence, bring it out. Otherwise, I'll sue you for slander."
