Chapter 16: What Does That Woman Look Like?

"That woman, looks like this?"

Fu Hanxiu's voice was slightly deep.

The woman on the wanted list had thief‑like eyebrows, mouse eyes, and a vulgar aura.

Fu San answered decisively: "Not bad, that Female Lecherous Thief indeed looks like this!" He still cannot accept that Your Majesty has been stained by such an ugly Female Lecherous Thief!

Fu Hanxiu lifted his eyelids, his eyes showing some doubt toward Fu San.

Although that damned woman had blindfolded him the entire time with a strip of cloth, her eyes were never concealed from beginning to end.

These brows and eyes are clearly off.

Her eyes, however, are unmistakably bright and crystal‑clear.

"You have strong opinions about her?"

Fu San would never admit how great his prejudice against that Female Lecherous Thief was, enough to cloud his heart, "That Female Lecherous Thief even dared to disrespect Your Majesty; if I capture her, I will shred her body into ten thousand pieces, dismember her on five horses…."

Ugh, here it comes again.

He has heard that line countless times.

"Fine, we'll discuss it when we catch her. However, with the wanted list you created, I doubt we'll ever catch anyone in this lifetime."

Fu San's expression hardened.

"Then, should I go change it?"

Fu Hanxiu waved his hand, "No need."

Given that woman's cunning, the wanted list is merely a decorative piece.

Changing it or not makes little difference.

On the contrary, if it's left unchanged, that woman will become complacent.

"Woman, this time you won't escape my palm!" Fu Hanxiu's tear‑shaped mole at the corner of his eye grew more bewitching, and his deep eyes were filled with gloom.

After a moment, he steadied his mind and casually asked, "Is there any activity over at Xi Ji?"

Fu San shook his head, his tone serious, "Those factions are still relatively well‑behaved for the time being."

Remembering something, Fu San added, "The young master over there is, as usual, training hard with the Elders, making great progress. The young lord even sent a message saying he misses Your Majesty and asks when you will return."

Hearing that his son was training hard, Fu Hanxiu nodded. Upon hearing the latter part, he raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, "I have no idea; does that stinky brat still think of me?"

He wishes I would keep my distance!

Speaking of his own little master, Fu San's heart softened, his features softened as well: "The young master is still a child; it's natural for him to miss you when you're not by his side."

At this point, Fu San cursed Ye Qingran again in his heart.

How can such a wicked woman exist in this world?

The young master is so adorable; how could she have had the heart to abandon him back then?

"Tell him, if I return, I will inform him beforehand."

Fu San immediately agreed.

However, none of them expected that the ever‑obedient Fu Qianchen had already pulled off a grand deception, quietly slipped away from the Summit of the Deer Hunt, and embarked on a little tadpole's quest to find its mother, unlike Mo Xiaohu.

Ting Yu Xuan

"Han Xing, how's the thing you were preparing?"

"Miss, everything is prepared, only missing the east wind."

Han Xing gave a sly smile.

"Miss, will the Zhao Family come knocking?"

Ye Qingran looked at Leng Yue, smiled mysteriously: "Yue Er, then you just wait and see."

The next day

Ye Qingran was petting the little Xiao Naihu, who had been forced to transform into a cat, under the big locust tree in the Courtyard.

Han Xing reported.

"Miss, you truly predicted like a deity; the Zhao Family really came knocking, saying you severely injured Zhao Hao and demanding an explanation!"

Leng Yue sneered coldly: "What severe injury? Clearly his vital organ is broken; he got what he deserved!" She especially detests such lecherous types!

Ye Qingran smiled: "Just wait, someone will come to summon me shortly."

Sure enough, Ye Yu soon sent a servant to summon her.

In the Ye Family's front Courtyard, a dozen or so members of the Zhao Family arrived, their aura fierce.

"Second sister, Hao'er is at least your own nephew; his vital organ was kicked to ruin by Ye Qingran, and this matter must be explained to our Zhao Family no matter what!" Zhao Hao's mother Wang Yan cried out.

The Zhao Family also clenched their teeth in hatred. Zhao Hao is her own nephew, and Ye Qingran, without a word, crippled him—clearly a slap in the face!

"That damned Ye Qingran must pay the price today!"

"Oh, I'm actually very curious—what price will Auntie Zhao demand from me?"

A light voice floated in, as moving as a yellow warbler soaring from the valley.

The crowd followed the voice and looked; Ye Qingran approached slowly, flanked by Han Xing and Leng Yue.

The woman's figure was graceful, her features like a painting, skin white as snow, aura ethereal, like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

Her beauty was strikingly aggressive.

Everyone was stunned.

Especially the Zhao Family members.

Who could have imagined that Ye Qingran, who had never stood out in the Ye Family, would possess such beauty and an outstanding aura, making Ye Huanhuan look dull in comparison.

No wonder Zhao Hao was attracted to her.

The Ye Family members also showed varied expressions.

Ye Sisi and the Zhao Family felt a jealous itch.

The Ye Family's servants who hadn't yet had the chance to see Ye Qingran were also filled with astonishment, unable to believe that the goddess-like figure before them was Ye Qingran.

「Ye Qingran, you vicious woman with a snake-scorpion heart, my cousin was kicked by you to the point of being inhuman; you must pay the price for this! 」

Ye Sisi was the first to step forward, her expression angry, yet she secretly delighted in her heart.

It just so happened that they couldn't find a suitable reason other than Ye Qingran; unexpectedly, she herself caused trouble.

Her maternal uncle is a Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, holding the rank of Senior Third Rank; moreover, her aunt has only this one son, and having such an incident, they will certainly not let it rest.

At this moment, on the wall shaded by trees, two figures stood side by side.

Fu San doesn't know what's wrong with Your Majesty; otherwise, how would he engage in eavesdropping?

However, after listening for a while, Fu San found it quite thrilling.

「This Ye Qingran is truly vicious! 」

Upon hearing that Ye Qingran had actually kicked a man's vital parts, Fu San felt a chill.

「Your Majesty, this Ye Qingran is the eldest daughter of the Ye Family; rumors say she disappeared five years ago, but unexpectedly she has returned now. 」

Disappeared five years ago?
