章 133: 133: Preparation for funeral

"Xiaoman, you should never have let Ye Yu go!" Xu Shuyun's voice, usually gentle and composed, was now filled with bitterness and hatred. She couldn’t fathom how Ye Yu, whom she had raised as her own, could commit such a vile betrayal. The mere thought of it only intensified her loathing.

"I've already killed him." Ye Fei’s voice was tinged with regret. "It's all my fault. I knew about his ambitions long ago but didn't act sooner. If I had, we wouldn't be facing this tragedy today."

Xu Shuyun wiped her tears as she responded, "It’s not your fault. Even if you had tried to stop him earlier, your uncle would never have agreed." But as soon as she mentioned Ye Lingtian, the tears she had just held back began to flow once more.

Ye Fei gently wiped her tears and said firmly, "There were more people behind Ye Yu, and I will find them. I swear I’ll avenge Uncle."
