By now, Ye Junqin's face was so dark that it could not be described as ferrous green anymore. Given his poor character, not only did his brother-in-law fail to support him, but he even fanned the flames. Didn't his brother-in-law know who Yan Xi liked, and for whom she had remained single till now?
However, Ye Junqin felt unable to counter what Xia Ye Zhao had last said. Being falsely accused was worse than being wronged, yet he found himself at a loss for words.
Looking at the small mermaid's pale face, he felt both heartache and indignation. Finally, he understood what it felt like to be unjustly accused.

Ye Junqin was filled with self-reproach and helplessness. Fueled by his brother-in-law's provocations, he was afraid that anything he said now would fall on deaf ears.
