Genius Fifth Young Miss: Transmigration - 7 Chapter Six

“How could this be? Doctor Ye, what is the meaning of this?” Yu Jiang Jun naturally knew of his own concubine’s medical ability. He slammed a hand onto the table, almost causing it to break. He raised that hand again, eyes flaring.

Yu You Lei saw this and weakly reached out to grab her father’s hand.

“W-wait, let him explain. . .” She coughed and weakly requested. She turned to the stunned Doctor and gave him a sweet smile, saying, “Take your time and explain. I trust you wouldn’t hurt me.”

Doctor Ye’s heart melted at the sight of Yu You Lei’s smile. She stood up for him!

“Yo- Sigh, Lei’er, you shouldn’t be this kind. . . What if someone takes advantage of you in the future?” The General’s eyes softened and he ruffled Yu You Lei’s hair.

He turned back to Doctor Ye, his eyes hardening once again.

“Explain.”

Doctor Ye shot a grateful look at Yu You Lei, then dropped to his knees.

He lowered his head and rushed to explain the situation.

“This lowly one was not the one who poisoned the medicine . . . It. . . it was the first young miss, Yu You Jia!”

Although Doctor Ye was arrogant, in the face of absolute power, he could only lower his pride and kneel down.

It was more important for him to stay alive!

“Nonsense!” Yu Jiang Jun had absolute trust in his daughter. He didn’t think she’d do such a thing!

“Guards, take him away!”, The General proclaimed, anger clear in his eyes. How dare a lowly doctor like him try and slander his daughter in front of him?

“No! General, have mercy! General!” Doctor Ye trashed around a screamed as he was dragged away by guards.

Yu Jiang Jun watched on coldly as this happened.

For someone to dare and lie to him like that, they better be prepared to face the consequences!

“Wait. . .” Just as Doctor Ye was about to be thrown out of the doors, Yu You Lei spoke again.

She sat up slowly, turning down the help anyone offered her.

The guards paused, looking at Yu Jiang Jun for approval.

With a single nod from him, the guards dragged Doctor Ye back in front of the bed, forcing him to kneel again, this time before Yu You Lei.

Doctor Ye looked up at her in slight gratitude again. She’d saved him twice now!

“What is it, Lei’er?” Yu Jiang Jun asked his daughter gently. As he saw her getting up independently despite being weak, his eyes flashed with pride and satisfaction for a moment.

“A-allow him to explain.” Yu You Lei sat up with great difficulty, and stared coldly at the doctor kneeling before her.

Yu Jiang Jun was confused for a moment. Didn’t she believe her sister? Did she think that Yu You Jia would actually use such a heavy hand and poison her own sister? His eyes once again flashed, instead this time with dissatisfaction.

He didn’t approve of her distrust toward her own blood related kin.

He was a man who strongly believed in family ties, so his anger wasn’t unfounded. He would naively believe anything anyone from his family told him, which was partly the reason he didn’t know about Yu You Lei being bullied behind his back.

Yu You Lei smiled on the inside as she looked at that father of hers.

It seemed he was truly only experienced when it came to wars and battles.

This type of strong belief and trust in his family, this type of genuine love, care and concern shown for his children, was rare to find.

Yu You Lei believed the previous owner’s words. Her father was truly a good person, at least when it came to family.

Realizing that as time passed, Yu Jiang Jun was beginning to become slightly annoyed, Yu You Lei hastened to explain herself.

“It’s not that I don’t trust First Sister. I really do, she wouldn’t do something like this to me! However, how could we allow someone to slander her like that? If rumours of her poisoning me were to spread out, her reputation would plummet! Only if we clear things up right now, will we be able to keep her safe. . .” Listening to Yu You Lei’s explaintion, Yu Jiang Jun’s heart shook.

It was true.

If people heard that Yu You Jia could’ve possibly poisoned her own sister, where would she put her face? She would be scorned for trying to hurt her own family member!

Yu Jiang Jun glared at Doctor Ye, silently ordering him to explain clearly again.

Doctor Ye gulped, and began to narrate what happened.

“I-it’s like this. I did indeed, indeed prepare the medicine, but, but, I . . .” His voice became softer under the glare of Yu Jiang Jun.

However, upon seeing the gentle and kind gaze of Yu You Lei, he mustered the courage to continue.

“But I wasn’t the one who poisoned it! I can s-swear on my lif-life, I didn’t add anything harmful into the soup. It was the Eldest Young Miss who i-insisted on personally bri-bringing the soup to the Fifth Young Miss, and it was her who poisoned it!” Doctor Ye proclaimed, repeating his earlier words.

“How could you say that? What evidence do you have?” Yu You Lei was the first to speak up after his explanation, seemingly in disbelief.

He didn’t have any evidence, did he? His words could have been twisted! In fact, it sounded like he was actually trying to frame Yu You Jia, and nobody believed him.

“This. . . ” Doctor Ye actually did have evidence, however, if he were to bring it out, he’d expose another fact- he was involved in harming Yu You Lei! Yu You Jia had actually bribed him into telling this story lest their plan to kill off Yu You Lei failed. It was partly true, yet still had falsehood in it, making it seem unfounded and unreliable.

Everyone was sure to question his words!

Had he been tricked?

She wanted him to blame the poison on her.

She herself had a way to get out of trouble, she claimed. However, it was only at this point did he realize he really was tricked!

Him saying this meant that Yu You Jia had harmed her own sister, yet without evidence, it was like slander.

If he brought out the evidence, it would prove he lied, and had indirectly allowed Yu You Lei to almost be poisoned!

Telling this story was the same as having framed Yu You Jia, but telling the truth meant that he almost allowed Yu You Lei to be hurt.

Yet, continuing with his story would be the best choice.

The punishment for harming Yu You Jia would definitely be lighter than that for harming Yu You Lei.

Just as he was about to give up and claim he didn’t have evidence, a voice sounded from the doorway.

“Doctor Ye, how dare you, you liar!” The person at the door was no other than Yu You Jia, who rushed back over the moment she heard the commotion. She didn’t want to be exposed!

If she hadn’t appeared, perhaps she could’ve pulled through without suffering too much damage. However, seeing her push all the blame on him, Doctor Ye got angry.

He decided, even if it were at the extent of his life, he’d do anything to let the whole world know of Yu You Jia’s vile nature!

He kowtowed heavily once, before shooting a glare at Yu You Jia.

“This lowly one would like to admit all his wrongings!” He was going all out to bring down the one who dared to play him like an idiot!

“Guards, he admits to slandering me! Take him down!” Yu You Jia screeched, trying to stop him from spitting out the truth.

In fact, Yu You Jia knew the nature of Doctor Ye. He was arrogant, petty and greedy.

She knew for sure, if he ever realized he had been used, he wouldn’t stop at anything to try and bring her down!

That was why from the start, Yu You Jia brought guards with her. They were ready to take down the doctor at any given moment.

“Wait!” Once again, Yu You Lei cut in.

“What is it? Do you want your sister to be slandered so badly, huh? You s-” Yu You Jia almost let her true nature show for a moment, but quickly covered it up.

The atmosphere had become rather strange.

This whole situation escalated into a bunch of lies and fabricated truths!
