Ye Xingbei's cheek hurt so much it was numb. She called out "Aunt," struggling to ask Ye Zhitong why she was treating her like this. Ye Zhitong ordered, "Gag her."
Liao Qing grabbed something and stuffed it into Ye Xingbei's mouth.
Ye Zhitong finally stopped playing the zither and looked at Ye Xingbei: "Tie her up."
Liao Qing took a rope from a Ye family bodyguard, tied Ye Xingbei's hands and feet, and forced her to kneel on the ground.
Ye Xingbei was dumbfounded.
She didn't understand why Ye Zhitong would suddenly flare up.
She knew Ye Zhitong and Ye Wuwei had always believed she was Jiang Zhengxing's daughter, so they didn't have much affection for her.
Yet she had been raised in the Ye family for five years, and Ye Zhitong and Ye Wuwei had never done anything bad to her.
Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli doted on her, providing her with plenty of good food and drink, and Ye Zhitong and Ye Wuwei had never given her a hard time.
