Le Zhengyue watched the dejection and anger on Xu Xiaoyan's face, along with the disbelief on Tang Wulin and Xie Xie's, and a flicker of amusement passed through his eyes.
Then he said helplessly,
"This girl is called Xiao Cui. She's a new maid our Yue Family hired. She went to call Cousin Zhengyu to pay his respects to Grandfather, but when he saw how pretty she was, he dragged her into his room."
Le Zhengyue stopped there. A hint of shame—or perhaps helplessness—showed on his face.
Hearing Le Zhengyue's words, especially how she'd trailed off halfway through, immediately sent the three of them's thoughts spiraling in the wrong direction.
Thinking of Le Zhengyu doing something like that, Tang Wulin slammed his fist onto the table. The loud thud startled everyone.
At the looks from the surrounding students, Tang Wulin clenched his fist tight and stared fixedly at Le Zhengyu in the video.
He could confirm that this was indeed Le Zhengyu, not an impersonator, and the video was completely credible. It had to be real.
Thinking of Le Zhengyu doing something like that, his gaze instinctively shifted to Xu Xiaoyan. The girl sat there in a daze, her eyes filled with dejection.
For a great family like theirs, having several wives and concubines was perfectly normal.
But in his previous life, because Xu Xiaoyan had stood firm, Le Zhengyu had only ever had her as his woman. That remained true right up until they both passed away.
So Xu Xiaoyan had believed Le Zhengyu truly loved her—or rather, loved her deeply—and would never do something like this.
But now, seeing him do it with her own eyes...
Xu Xiaoyan knew she couldn't accept it. She even felt like crying, but with her classmates around, she held back her tears
