Chapter 420: with translation of chapter title

Ye Sisi leaned on the wall, barely managing not to fall to the ground.

Dongfang Xuan's words just now echoed in her mind over and over, like a demonic chant.

She gasped heavily, her heart already riddled with countless wounds.

In this brief span, she had already traversed high mountains and low valleys, tasting every flavor of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy.

Heh!

Tears fell like rolling beads; she clenched her lips, refusing to let even a single sob escape.

He never loved me at all!

He has never loved me!

When he was with her before, it was only for novelty; now he's bored, turned around and went into another woman's arms.

It's all a lie!

How foolish I am!

I really am so foolish!

Shouldn't she have realized it earlier? She should have seen it when he was secretly meeting Zhao Yan at the inn.

Ye Sisi, you're a fool!

Ye Sisi moved like a walking corpse, heading downstairs, exiting the Wine House, standing amid the bustling crowd; yet she still felt an endless loneliness, bathed in warm sunlight yet still chilled to the bone.

"Ye Sisi, you're a joke! You're a complete joke!"

"You loved him for so long, and in the end, the women around him kept changing one after another!"

"All those oaths and vows, they're all lies!"

Ye Sisi didn't know how she had returned to the Ye Residence.

She passed the front hall and heard her father and mother whispering something.

"Ye Qingran has always ignored us, hasn't she? Since she's about to die, we'll drive her out, leave her dead on the street, and settle the hatred in our hearts!" said a maid. Zhao Shi was signing beside her, and she was translating.

Since Ye Qingran ordered her tongue cut, sign language became Zhao Shi's means of communication.

When Ye Yu heard, he felt it was quite satisfying.

But on second thought, he still felt a bit apprehensive.

"But Ye Qingran is the biological mother of the Emperor Sovereign's child at the Peak of the Hunt..."

"What exactly are you afraid of? The Emperor Sovereign left Xiliang City long ago; Huanhuan isn't scared, so we needn't be!"

Ye Yu nodded, thinking the words weren't without reason.

The Emperor Sovereign's sudden departure from the Peak of the Hunt showed that, in his mind, Ye Qingran wasn't that important.

If she were important, why didn't he take Ye Qingran with him to the Peak of the Hunt?

"If we drive Ye Qingran out now, outsiders will say we're ruthless..."

Ye Yu still remained full of reservations.

"What are you scared of? Didn't you already cut off the father‑daughter tie with her? You have no relationship now; she's an outsider and never should have lived in the Ye Residence! Driving her out is perfectly normal. I'd like to see what others will say!"

With that, Ye Yu's remaining doubts vanished.

"Fine, let's do it then." Ye Yu's expression hardened.

That scoundrel Ye Qingran, he's been wanting revenge on her for a long time!

Hearing their conversation, Ye Sisi temporarily forgot her own sorrow.

Her parents want to drive Ye Qingran out?

Ye Qingran is already gravely wounded, on the brink of death; they not only don't think of saving her, they want to drive her out?

Isn't that excessively cruel?

Although she once wanted to kill Ye Qingran, after everything she's been through, she no longer holds any prejudice against her.

Moreover, Ye Qingran once saved her life.

She feels deep gratitude toward Ye Qingran.

Therefore, she cannot stand by idly.

"Father, mother, you can't do this!"

Ye Sisi strode into the front hall, shouting in a deep voice.

Seeing Ye Sisi enter, Ye Yu and Zhao Shi were both startled.

The two exchanged a glance, and Ye Yu spoke first, "Sisi, we… we're doing this all for your good."

"For my good?" Ye Sisi could hardly believe it.

Seeing Ye Qingran driven out of the Ye Residence, how is that supposed to be good for her?

"Exactly. Think about it—Ye Qingran has always harbored hostility toward us, even once wanted to kill your sister. If we don't humiliate her properly now, we'll lose the chance later!"

"But Ye Qingran is already so pitiful; why are you still being so ruthless?"

Zhao Shi stared at Ye Sisi with an incredulous expression.

"Sisi, you weren't like this before! You've changed!"

Ye Sisi frowned.

"People always change. The old me was immature and made many mistakes; from now on I'll sharpen my eyes." Loneliness flickered in her gaze.

Zhao Shi and Ye Yu didn't know about her dealings with Dongfang Xuan, and thought Ye Sisi had resolved to help Ye Qingran.

"Sisi, don't persist in your delusion!"

Ye Sisi opened her mouth in disbelief, "Father, mother, isn't it you who are being delusional?"

"What exactly did Ye Qingran do wrong for you to treat her like this? If it's just mother's wish, that's one thing, but father, Ye Qingran is your bloodline's continuation! A tiger's poison won't eat its own cubs—how can you treat her this way?"

Ye Yu's gaze flickered, and he said nothing.

Ye Sisi, you forgot how she treated your sister? You heartless! A white-eyed wolf who turns his elbows outward!

How am I heartless? Ye Qingran is also my family!

She isn't!

Ye Yu suddenly shouted.

Ye Sisi was shouted into a daze.

Seeming to feel his reaction was a bit excessive, Ye Yu then said: "She treated Huan Huan like that before, I won't forgive her!"

After saying that, he glared at Ye Sisi: "You're not allowed to help her either!"

Ye Sisi refused to back down: "I will!"

You!

Zhao Shi directly ordered: "Someone, lock up the Third Miss for me; without my permission, she is not to step out of the courtyard!"

Ye Sisi could hardly believe her ears.

Crazy, you're all crazy!

The parents before her made her feel estranged.

Ting Yu Xuan

Miss, Ye Yu and Zhao Ya are discussing kicking you out of the Ye Residence.

Leng Yue reported.

Ye Qingran was not at all surprised.

However...

However what?

Ye Sisi seems to have turned over a new leaf; I heard they're planning to kick you out, and she even went up to argue with them...

Ye Qingran raised her eyebrows: "Not so stupid as to be hopeless."

Leng Yue laughed along: "She's been locked up by Zhao Shi; she won't be coming out anytime soon."

Ye Qingran nodded: "In that case, we should also prepare."

Ye Qingran finished speaking,
