Chapter 330: Did Lin Xueyan Go to the Grand Tutor's Residence?

"Your Majesty, the wounds on me were inflicted by the subordinates that Ye Qingran ordered them to strike!" Saying this, Lin Xueyan looked pitifully at Fu Hanxiu, "I know Ye Qingran was once your woman, you favored her..."

"Ye Qingran is his woman? That's correct."

"But he favored Ye Qingran?"

"When was that?"

"He does want to!"

"At present it's only at the stage of thinking about it!"

"But Ye Qingran is arrogant and overbearing, doesn't even regard me, let alone the Summit of the Hunt! She even publicly insulted the Summit of the Hunt, calling it the Summit of the Hound; her heart deserves punishment!" Lin Xueyan said with righteous fervor.

"Fu Hanxiu's expression grew solemn."

"Lin Xueyan was delighted at the sight. Your Majesty finally angered! This is a good sign! Ye Qingran, even if your strength is decent and you have that man called Wuhen assisting you, once the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt acts, this time you cannot escape my palm!"

"Fu Hanxiu was not angry because of that. Rather, he suddenly realized that when Ye Qingran mentioned the Summit of the Hunt yesterday, she was quite clenching her teeth."

"Does she have some grievance against the Summit of the Hunt?"

"Has the Summit of the Hunt offended her?"

"This left Fu Hanxiu somewhat puzzled."

"He must inquire soon, otherwise any misunderstanding could be bad."

"Your Majesty, there is another matter, that is the man beside Ye Qingran..." Lin Xueyan said cautiously to Fu Hanxiu, "Actually, before you grew bored with her, Ye Qingran had already been exchanging signals with that Wild Man!"

"Fu San wanted to laugh."

"But he didn't dare."

"He could only hold it in."

"It was so painful to hold back! His face turned red."

"Lin Xueyan didn't know what Fu San was doing."

"Was what she said funny?"

"Fu Hanxiu's complexion grew increasingly grim. Lin Xueyan's nonsense, framing Ye Qingran, wasn't enough; she even called him a Wild Man?"

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"Lin Xueyan assumed Fu Hanxiu's anger was because her words had taken effect. Her pride swelled further."

"So what do you think I should do with Ye Qingran?" Fu Hanxiu's voice revealed no emotion.

"Lin Xueyan's eyes brightened, her heart leapt, "Your Majesty, I think someone like Ye Qingran, a fickle woman with no respect for others, should be dismembered by five horses in front of all the citizens of Xiliang City as a warning! Otherwise, others will truly think the Summit of the Hunt is easy to bully!""

"As soon as the words left her mouth, Lin Xueyan felt a gust of fierce wind strike; a massive force flipped her, she slammed into a nearby pillar, fell to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood!"

"Lin Xueyan, do you think I'm as foolish as you?"

"Your Majesty..." Lin Xueyan struggled to lift her head, clutching her chest, her face full of terror.

"Do you think I didn't know about yesterday's events? Ye Qingran struck you only because you yourself schemed to frame her; what does that have to do with the Summit of the Hunt?"

"No, it's not like that..."

"Lin Xueyan was shocked; she thought the Your Majesty wouldn't intervene in such matters, but he knew everything!"

"Fu Hanxiu's expression grew colder, "Attendants, take her down for me; subject her to every torture in the Execution Hall!""

"Lin Xueyan instantly seemed like a flash of reflected light, ignoring her pain, she lunged at Fu Hanxiu, trying to grab the hem of his robe."

"However, she grasped nothing."

"No, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have deceived you..."

"Take her down!"

"Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this; I am the savior of the Young Master!"

"Fu Hanxiu furrowed his brows and finally ordered, "Do not kill.""

"In a chorus of wailing, Lin Xueyan was taken away."

"Fu San." Fu Hanxiu tapped his fingers on the rosewood desk.

"Fu San walked to the center of the hall."

"Go investigate whether Ye Qingran and Lin Xueyan ever had any conflict."

"The consecutive two clashes made Fu Hanxiu notice something abnormal."

"When Ye Qingran saw Lin Xueyan, a bone‑gnawing hatred hid in her eyes."

"What past lies between them?"

"Although he disliked Lin Xueyan, even detested her, back then it was she who took Xiao Chen to the Summit of the Hunt. Without Lin Xueyan, Xiao Chen might not have survived."

"So, for now he won't take Lin Xueyan's life, unless back then she truly committed an unforgivable crime against Ye Qingran."

"Fu San went out to investigate Fu Hanxiu's orders, and upon reaching the gate of Qin Ge, he happened to see Ye Qingran entering Qin Ge."

"Fu San raised an eyebrow and followed inside."

"However, seeing Ye Qingran and Qin Ge's Zhu Laifu enter a private room as if discussing something important, Fu San took a seat, watching the compartment, and couldn't help remarking, "Miss Ye truly is beloved by all, even the manager of Qin Ge treats her with utmost courtesy.""

"Fu San had long been a familiar face at Qin Ge, enjoying the privilege of no reservation needed."

"Fine wine and dishes were served."

"Fu San savored a bite of the delicacy, then sipped Qin Ge's signature Peach Blossom Brew, showing a satisfied expression."

"Not long after, Ye Qingran emerged from the private room, accompanied by Han Xing. Zhu Laifu followed, his plump face beaming with a radiant smile."

"Miss Ye!" Upon seeing Ye Qingran exit, Fu San immediately stood, flashing an overly bright smile.

"Flattery!" Han Xing glared at him, muttering a low curse.

"Fu San instantly felt aggrieved."

"He was genuinely pleased; how could it be flattery?"

"Fu San, what are you doing here?" Ye Qingran saw him and showed a hint of doubt.

Since she dumped the National Master and got together with Wuhen, she hasn't had any contact with Fu San.

"Miss Ye, do you have time? Can we talk?"

Ye Qingran looked at the two dishes he had ordered in front of him, glanced at the sky outside, thought it was just right for lunch, and nodded, "Perfect, let's have a meal together."

Fu Sanzheng had the same idea, "Then Miss Ye, please have a seat..."

"What seat? My lady obviously wants to go to a private room!" Han Xing said unhappily.

Fu San blinked his innocent big eyes, looking clueless, not knowing when he had offended this thorny rose.

As for Ye Qingran, her eyes shifted, and as she turned, she revealed a meaningful smile.

Ah?

A private room?

Fu San froze for three seconds, then hurriedly followed.

"What do you want from me?" Ye Qingran took a sip of wine.

Fu San lifted his face from a table of delicious dishes, "Miss Ye, I have something to tell you. Just now, when I came out of the National Master's residence, I saw Lin Xueyan..."

Ye Qingran's eyes turned cold.

Lin Xueyan went to the National Master's residence?

What is she doing at the National Master's residence? Looking for the National Master?

But she hadn't heard that the National Master had any connection with Lin Xueyan.

Ye Qingran set down her wine glass without changing expression and asked casually, "Oh? What is Lin Xueyan doing seeing the National Master?"
