Chapter 100: When Adding Crimes, There Is No Shortage of Words
In response, Ye Qingran does not wish to add further explanation.
There is a saying that one can add crimes without lacking words; her explaining at this moment is merely a waste of breath.
Thirteenth Princess Dongfang Ling'er had always harbored hostility toward Ye Qingran. Seeing her good friend Ye Sisi's appearance ruined by Ye Qingran, and then being abused and humiliated on the Xuanwu Platform, she erupted in fury and loudly condemned: "I truly cannot stand this any longer! Ye Qingran, even if Ye Sisi is not your sister, even if she is a complete stranger with no blood relation, you still cannot treat her so cruelly, can you? The Xuanwu Platform contest was meant to be limited, but you? You wiped her out, destroyed her looks! Moreover, everything Ye Sisi just said is true: you indeed have an Unmarried Child, your child is a Wild Offspring, and you dare not admit it? Just because Ye Sisi revealed the truth, it pierced you, and you became angry and ashamed?"
In an instant, Ye Qingran was pointed at by a thousand people. Even the onlookers began to denounce and attack Ye Qingran.
"Brother Qing Xuan, although I trust my sister, she…"
Qing Xuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he spat out, "Ye Qingran is indeed too excessive!" Although he admires Ye Qingran, her thoughts are too vicious and extremely cruel! Such a person has no right to become his Crown Princess!
Upon hearing this, Ye Huanhuan's smile deepened.
"I'll go over and see Sisi."
As she said, Ye Huanhuan walked toward the direction where Ye Sisi was, and halfway she whispered, "Go fetch the two children of Ye Qingran and bring them over; I want the common folk of Xiliang to have a good look at what Ye Qingran's Wild Offspring look like!"
This time, she intends to make Ye Qingran's reputation shattered and plunge into an Abyss from which there is no return!
In a private room on the top floor of the Wine House, with an excellent view, Fu Qianchen and Mo Xiaohu witnessed everything with their own eyes, seething with anger.
Especially Mo Xiaohu, whose delicate little face twisted into a knot, and whose dark eyes, in extreme anger, involuntarily flashed a divine flame totem that no one saw.
"No, I must go help Piao Liang Niangqin!"
Mo Xiaohu clenched his fist and said.
"No, if you go now, you'll fall right into their trap!"
Fu Qianchen intervened.
"Then what to do? We can't just watch Piao Liang Niangqin being bullied, can we?"
Fu Qianchen knit his brows.
He looked at Mo Xiaohu, his gaze deep.
"I have a way!"
Mo Xiaohu was startled, realizing something, and hurriedly asked, "You wouldn't…"
"Although I do not wish to return to Xi Ji, for Piao Liang Niangqin I am willing to sacrifice myself. Moreover, everything that happened to Piao Liang Niangqin today was caused by me!"
"How can you say that? I cannot escape the connection either!"
Both were filled with self‑blame.
"How about this: I will claim that the National Master is my father; you and I go together, and then everyone will think we are both children of the National Master, so they won't speak ill of Piao Liang Niangqin. What do you think?"
Mo Xiaohu thought the plan was good, and clenched his fist, saying, "I'll go with you!"
At that moment, someone pushed the door open from outside, their expression unfriendly.
"Bring those two over to me!"
The leader waved his hand broadly, and the people behind him strode toward Fu Qianchen and Mo Xiaohu, attempting to seize them.
"Grain of Light!"
Fu Qianchen snapped coldly, a look of disdain on his face.
He naturally knew their purpose.
They would drag him and Xiao Hu to the Xuanwu Platform, and then, in front of the crowd, accuse Ye Qingran of having an Unmarried Child, turning the previous 'Hearing is Void' rumor into the 'Seeing is Reality' truth!
At that time, Ye Qingran would have no words to defend herself, completely reduced to a joke!
Therefore, today, no matter what, they will not let those villains succeed.
Both of their small bodies erupted with a fierce aura, causing those few people to be shaken to their core.
Isn't the father of these two children just a rustic villager?
How could he possess such astonishing aura?
As if their father were the Emperor Sovereign himself?
"Come with them."
Just as Fu Qianchen and Mo Xiaohu were about to make a desperate stand, a figure appeared at the doorway of the private room; Fu Qianchen stared, his whole body shuddered, and he froze in place.
"Father, Father Lord?!"
Fu Qianchen instinctively shouted, then felt a pang of regret inside.
Does this count as not making a move?
It's over, it's over!
This time I'm doomed!
Fu Qianchen wailed inside, but the expected raging storm never came.
She heard her Father Lord say, "Come with them."
Fu Qianchen thought she had misheard.
"But…"
Fu Hanxiu interrupted, "Don't worry, I won't let your mother… Ye Qingran get into trouble!"
The words, like a calming pill, made a glow surround Fu Qianchen's eyes.
Mo Xiaohu looked at Fu Hanxiu, his brows and eyes tangled with conflict.
Should he trust Fu Hanxiu's words or not?
After all, last time that wicked uncle drove him and Piao Liang Niangqin out of Guoshi Fu!
"Xiao Hu, my Father Lord keeps his word, you need not worry!"
Fu Qianchen seemed to see through Xiao Hu's dilemma and comforted, "His Father Lord, though cold, has always been a man of his word."
Below the Xuanwu Platform, a massive crowd swarmed.
A few people carried the two children onto the Xuanwu Platform, and immediately below someone shouted, "Everyone, look! These two children are the Wild Offspring born by Ye Qingran!"
Ye Qingran glanced sideways and saw Mo Xiaohu and Fu Qianchen being brought onto the Xuanwu Platform by several powerful individuals.
After those people put down the children, they fled as if possessed, soaring away; their speed seemed as if a ghost were chasing them from behind.
"Xiao Hu! Fu Ze!"
"Beautiful Mother!"
"Piao Liang Niangqin!"
The two, like Milk Swallows returning to their nest, sprinted, flying toward Ye Qingran.
On the Xuanwu Platform, Ye Qingran, with one child on each side, held the two children in her arms and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
"We are fine!"
The two answered together, "We are fine!"
Ye Qingran let out a sigh of relief, yet her eyes were as cold as a bleak winter, ice‑bound across the land.
This scene almost definitively confirmed Ye Qingran's relationship with the two children, and even more firmly confirmed the fact that she bore them out of wedlock.
However, Ye Qingran didn't mind, and the two children didn't mind either.
"Oh my god, Ye Qingran really had children out of wedlock!"
"Shameless! Not hiding it at all!"
"Ye Qingran truly lives up to the rumors: a Fickle Woman, an Unrestrained Libertine!"
…
The crowd pointed fingers and cursed Ye Qingran and the two children.
Yet there were also many voices filled with doubt.
"Are these two children really born of Ye Qingran? Yet they appear noble in bearing, not like the blood of a rustic villager!"
"Do you think so too? I also think these two children have extraordinary demeanor, as if they were descendants of princes and ministers!"
"I feel the same; could there be some misunderstanding here?"
…
Mu Qingrou, hearing this conversation, clenched her teeth and retorted, "Does it matter who the children's biological father is? No matter how high his status, it cannot conceal Ye Qingran's fact of having children out of wedlock! She is a scoundrel; such a lowly person should be expelled from Xiliang City!"
Dongfang Qingxuan's gaze fell on the scene of Ye Qingran embracing the two children; his expression grew increasingly grim, his eyes filled with disgust.
Although he had long known Ye Qingran was not pure; had she kept herself chaste, he might have considered taking her as a concubine. Yet, he did not expect Ye Qingran to have slept with a man and borne two children, which made him feel disgusted.
Ye Huanhuan had already returned to Dongfang Qingxuan's side; her expression was especially complicated. Looking at Dongfang Qingxuan, she said, "Brother Qingxuan, is there some misunderstanding here? I don't believe my sister is such a person!"
Dongfang Qingxuan, after hearing, gave a cold smile: "Misunderstanding? Five years ago, she already slept with a man and became pregnant; these two children are hers, what is there to question? She is essentially that kind of Fickle Woman, who knows which man's seed produced these Wild Offspring!"
