Tong Wen saw Yun Si was in a good mood and asked out of curiosity, "Your family is wealthy, and you have many siblings, so it must be lively, right?"
With so many people and such a lively atmosphere, Yun Si was a legitimate son, not an illegitimate child like Li Zhihai, so how could he not feel the warmth of family?
Yun Si indeed felt good at the moment, he laughed and said warmly, "My dad married three wives in total, and my mom is the second one. My oldest brother and sister, as well as my second brother, were born to his first wife. After the first wife died, they had the protection and warmth of my grandparents. My younger brothers and sisters were born to his third wife, his current wife, and they too were not lacking in warmth. But me, I’ve always been neglected. If it weren’t for my bad reputation, posing no threat to the interests of my brothers and sisters, I might have already ’kicked the bucket.’ Also, I’m not that bad; I’ve taken the blame for many others’ misdeeds."
Tong Wen was speechless.
Just as she began to feel a bit sorry for him, his words reminded her of how he bullied her, making her so angry she gritted her teeth: If he’s not bad, who is?
Isn’t he the one who would start hitting her out of nowhere?
Who bullied her like that?
She expressed her protest with silence, but Yun Si suddenly sneered, "Tong Wen, I know you look down on me, thinking I’m too harsh with you and no good person, but did I ever say I was? I’m just saying I’m not as bad as the rumors make me out to be. But bad, definitely.
However, don’t consider yourself innocent either.
Because I’ve thoroughly investigated what happened that night.
Li Fangwei was indeed trying to set up Song Enshu, but you’re far from innocent.
You just wanted to steal the show.
You messed with me by accident, took my virginity, and then lied through your teeth; how do you not deserve a beating?
It’s only because you are indeed friends with Meng Chuyue, you didn’t lie to me about that, that I’m being a bit nicer to you now. Otherwise, I was prepared to sell you deep into the mountains."
Tong Wen’s face went from white to red to green, turning exceptionally colorful with embarrassment.
But she was also a bit curious. Was she really Yun Si’s first woman?
Seeing her staring at him, Yun Si snapped in embarrassment, "Behave yourself, I won’t treat you poorly; otherwise, no matter who’s got your back, I will treat you exactly as I see fit."
Tong Wen bit her lip and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "If I don’t lie to you anymore, you really won’t hit me again in the future?"
"Of course, there’s no fun in hitting you, let alone the fear of accidentally killing you, which wouldn’t be satisfying at all."
Damn, I want to beat you to death.
However, if what Yun Si said is true, she indeed deserved it.
In this matter, she was the perpetrator, and Yun Si the victim; getting beaten... was lenient.
When Meng Chuyue heard this recorded conversation brought back by Erhu, she was somewhat speechless; what kind of situation was this?
She asked Shen Ci, "Is the Yun Family really ?"
Shen Ci stroked her hair, "The Yun Family is indeed in such a state. However, Yun Si has apparently been chaste all this time... which contradicts our previous findings. They all say he’s a philanderer who loves every girl he sees."
Having read many novels set in later times, Meng Chuyue said with a smile, "Maybe it’s just a facade to confuse his siblings. Of course, it could also be utter nonsense; we’ll keep investigating."
If Yun Si was telling the truth, they could be a little lighter in their punishment when the time comes.
After all, put this way, he really is a pitiful guy.
Tong Wen has only herself to blame.
Given the circumstances, not killing her outright means he abided by the law.
Shen Ci shared this sentiment, but he was more concerned with the approaching wedding of Song Enshu, as well as his own upcoming nuptials with Meng Chuyue.
In less than a month, he could marry her.
