Ye Xi was stunned for a couple of seconds before nodding and saying, "Yes, it was me who instigated it. I spoke ill of you in front of Song Musen. I said the child in your belly wasn't his and claimed that you had improper relationships with shady men before, I..."
With a "smack," Ye Xi's face took a slap, silencing her mid-sentence.
Ye Xi was entirely making things up, aiming to infuriate Ye Susu and draw her attention so that Lu Yingying could find a chance to escape.
Now, she had achieved her objective.
"It really was you, you wretch. No wonder Song Musen suddenly turned cold towards me. It turns out it was indeed you!"
Ye Xi, gasping slightly, looked at her, expecting her to strike again.
But Ye Susu did not. Instead, she took a moment to compose herself and then said, "At that time, you weren't any better than me. Song Musen detested you just as much, preferring you to carry another man's child rather than have one with you."
This was an eternal pain in Ye Xi's heart.
