Chapter 332: The Young Master's Birth Mother Is Indeed Dead

Xiao Chen must be her child, right?

Otherwise, how could he like her so much?

It seems to have started from the first glance. Even though he was initially very proud and coquettish, he was only proud and coquettish toward her. As a result, she and Han Xing Leng Yue gave him a nickname, calling him "Xiao Aojiao".

He clearly acts responsibly like a little adult in front of others, yet he likes to cling to her, sweetly calling her "Mother", loves to burrow into her arms, and loves to hear the stories she tells before sleep?

How obedient and sensible Xiao Chen is!

He and Xiao Hu together, like bundles of warm sunshine, shine into her heart.

Adding warmth to her cold life.

But why is she so dull, why does she overlook things that Xiao Chen notices?

She suddenly feels ashamed, feels sorry for Xiao Chen. Especially when she thinks of that night, when he went to her room to draw blood, his careful demeanor makes her feel a pang of heartache.

Why didn't she discover it earlier?

If she had discovered earlier, Xiao Chen wouldn't have been so sad, right?

A line of clear tears rolled down her cheek.

Fu San thought Ye Qingran had misunderstood something, hurriedly explained: "Miss Ye, don't misunderstand. If it weren't for remembering Lin Xueyan's life‑saving grace to the young master, otherwise, given Your Majesty's dislike of Lin Xueyan, she would have long been expelled from Zhu Lu Peak."

Lin Xueyan's life‑saving grace to Xiao Chen?

The woman who cut open her belly, took her child, causing mother and child to be separated for five years, is Xiao Chen's life‑saving benefactor?

Ye Qingran seemed to have heard the biggest joke!

If not for Lin Xueyan, she and Xiao Chen would have been forced to be separated for five years?

If not for Lin Xueyan, she and Xiao Chen would have been strangers for so long despite meeting?

If not for Lin Xueyan, the three of them—mother and child—would have been together all along!

Because of Lin Xueyan, she missed the first five years of both children's lives! That is a regret she can never make up in this life!

But when it came to Fu San, Lin Xueyan became the great benefactor of Zhu Lu Peak, Xiao Chen's great benefactor!

It's truly laughable!

Ye Qingran indeed also laughed.

She laughed as if delirious, tears rolling like beads.

Bone‑gnawing hatred surged in every inch of her blood.

It was forcefully suppressed back by her strong will.

Fu San, however, was quite frightened by this Ye Qingran. He still blamed himself, wondering if he had said something wrong that caused Ye Qingran to become like this.

Slowly exhaling a puff of foul breath, Ye Qingran calmly said: "Fu San, back then how did Lin Xueyan describe taking Xiao Chen to Zhu Lu Peak?"

Fu San thought for a moment, "She said she found the young master by the roadside, that his mother was already dead, she saw a divine flame totem flashing in his eyes, guessed he might be of Emperor Sovereign of Zhu Lu Peak's bloodline, so she sent him."

"You never questioned her words?" Ye Qingran's tone hid a hint of hatred.

"Of course we questioned it! Your Majesty, being so cautious, wouldn't easily trust a stranger. He immediately had someone use the Star Destiny Chart to assess the young master's birth mother, and the Star Destiny Chart showed that the young master's birth mother was indeed dead..."

Star Destiny Chart?

Ye Qingran's eyes flickered slightly.

That Ye Qingran was indeed already dead.

So it's normal for the Star Destiny Chart to show that.

It's just...

"Your Majesty never suspected that Lin Xueyan was the murderer of Xiao Chen's birth mother?"

Fu San Yi was stunned.

He truly hadn't thought of that, but Your Majesty surely had.

"Miss Ye is like that: six years ago, Your Majesty was pursued by enemies, severely wounded and vanished for half a year. When we found Your Majesty, we discovered he was inside Donglin Country. At that time he had just lost those six months of memory, only remembering that he seemed to have been assaulted by a woman while unconscious..." Fu San's face showed embarrassment.

This matter is somewhat hard to speak of.

"Your Majesty and the young master's birth mother actually had no emotional foundation. Therefore, Your Majesty didn't care at all about the birth mother's life or death. After confirming she had passed away, he didn't pursue any further investigation."

Lost six months of memory?

Ye Qingran's gaze deepened.

The original owner also lost six months of memory, and it was also from six years ago!

Could all this be mere coincidence?

What exactly happened six years ago?

Why did she and Fu Hanxiu lose the same span of memory, and also become involved?

Ye Qingran tried hard to recall, but that memory was shrouded in mist, impossible to glimpse.

She had to temporarily give up.

Never mind, six years ago, between her and Fu Hanxiu, regardless of who was right or wrong, it is already in the past.

She pinched her brow, thought for a moment, and said to Fu San, "Fu San, your Your Majesty probably doesn't want me to know his identity, does he?"

Fu San nodded.

Ye Qingran wasn't surprised. If Fu Hanxiu wanted her to know his identity, he would have said so long ago.

"Then this time you came out, did Your Majesty assign you some mission?"

Fu San, treating Ye Qingran as the lady master of Zhu Lu Peak, said without reservation, "Your Majesty sent me to investigate what grudges you and Lin Xueyan have in the past."

He doesn't know what past grudges she has with Lin Xueyan?

Ye Qingran's eyes flickered.

Indeed, if Fu Hanxiu knew her past with Lin Xueyan, he would probably also know that she is Xiao Chen's birth mother.

Once known that she is Xiao Chen's birth mother, Xiao Hu's identity would naturally be exposed!

A trace of lingering fear crossed Ye Qingran's eyes.

She must absolutely not let Fu Hanxiu know what happened five years ago!

If she had chosen the National Master, perhaps there wouldn't be so many complications. But now she has chosen Wuhen. If Fu Hanxiu learns the truth, will he try to snatch her son?

She will never allow such a thing to happen!

Although their recent interactions have made her vaguely feel that Fu Hanxiu is not a bad person, she still doesn't know him well. For instance, she has only just learned that he is the Emperor Sovereign of the Peak of the Hunt.

She will strive to eliminate even the slightest possibility!

Although her current strength is already formidable, she has little confidence when facing Fu Hanxiu, the overlord of Western Extremity.

She will never risk her son!

Ye Qingran's mind whirled many times; after she thought it through, she smiled lightly and said calmly, "What grudges could there be between me and Lin Xueyan? It's simply that before she went to Western Extremity, we both found each other annoying and looked down on each other. After all, in her view, I took away her title of Xiliang Cheng First Beauty."

"Is that all?"

"Otherwise?" Ye Qingran shrugged, "If you insist on saying there's something else, then... she used to be in league with Ye Huanhuan, as you know, I'm not on good terms with Ye Huanhuan! Back then she actually dug out my Spiritual Root!"
