Chapter 359: I am the kind of person who shifts loyalties like morning and evening

Yun Zhi nodded, her face full of grievance.

"Not!" Xiao Chen looked at Yun Zhi dissatisfiedly, "She is not my mother!"

As he spoke, his hand gripping Ye Qingran's thigh tightened.

Seeing Xiao Chen actually helping Ye Qingran, Yun Zhi gritted her teeth, jealousy flashing in her eyes.

What exactly did Ye Qingran give her child to drink, that Xiao Chen is so infatuated with her?

Xiao Chen is Yun Zhi's child!

What the hell is Ye Qingran?!

"Xiao Chen, I am your mother!" Yun Zhi said with a sobbing tone.

Xiao Chen's eyes were full of disdain, "You are not!"

"Your Majesty..." Yun Zhi looked at Fu Hanxiu pitifully.

She thought, since the National Master agreed to let her live in the Guoshi Fu, he obviously recognized her status as Xiao Chen's birth mother. Then, in front of this outsider Ye Qingran, he would surely stand up for her!

Little did she expect...

"Fu Er, tell me, how did they end up here?"

Fu Hanxiu this time directly pointed at Yun Zhi and Lin Xueyan.

Both were stunned.

"Your Majesty, are you mistaken?" Yun Zhi looked at Fu Hanxiu incredulously, thinking he had pointed wrong. After all, she was invited back by the National Master; how could the National Master now point at her and question Fu Er?

Lin Xueyan also looked astonished.

Yun Zhi told her that Fu Er had come to the inn to invite her to reside in the Guoshi Fu. She subconsciously thought that the ever-loyal Fu Er could not act on his own; it must be the Your Majesty's intention.

But now...

A bold guess surfaced in Lin Xueyan's mind, and she suddenly looked at Fu Er.

Fu Er's eyes flashed with panic as he knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, after I learned the Bloodline Detection results yesterday, thinking that since Yun Zhi is the young master's birth mother, there was no reason for her to stay in an inn, so I acted on my own and let her move into the mansion..."

What?!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Even Ye Qingran showed a look of surprise.

It turned out that the reason Yun Zhi moved into the Guoshi Fu was because of Fu Er, not because the National Master ordered it.

Han Xing Leng Yue exchanged a glance, unable to help but glare, yet a smirk of extreme sarcasm appeared at the corners of their mouths.

Seeing Lin Xueyan and Yun Zhi's shocked and embarrassed expressions, they felt immensely satisfied in their hearts!

Lin Xueyan widened her eyes, feeling as if her face had been slapped several times, burning with pain.

The sarcastic remarks she had just made about Ye Qingran, upon recalling them now, seemed utterly ridiculous...

Yun Zhi was dumbfounded at once, "No, this is impossible! Clearly it was the Your Majesty's intention, how could it be because of Fu Er..." She could not accept this fact no matter what.

"Miss Yun Zhi, sorry, it was indeed me acting on my own." Fu Er admitted personally.

Fu Er's acknowledgment was like a thunderbolt striking Yun Zhi's heart.

Her legs went weak, and she directly collapsed onto the ground.

"No, it's not like this!"

Heaven knows, when Fu Er told her she could move into the Guoshi Fu, how excited she was; she even stayed up all night last night, hoping to move into the Guoshi Fu as soon as dawn came, to become the esteemed mistress of the Guoshi Fu.

But when she arrived at the Guoshi Fu full of joy, she was told that the National Master had not permitted her to move in; everything was his subordinates acting on their own.

"Your Majesty, why are you so cruel to me? I am Xiao Chen's mother! I bore a child for you—shouldn't I be allowed to live here?" Yun Zhi, sitting on the ground, cried out in question.

Fu Hanxiu unconsciously glanced at Ye Qingran; seeing her looking at him with a half-smile, his heart tightened, fearing she might misunderstand.

"Take her away!" Fu Hanxiu couldn't be bothered to explain anything to Yun Zhi.

"Your Majesty, I am Xiao Chen's birth mother, yet you treat me this way—you might as well kill me!"

"Kill you? You think I wouldn't dare?" Fu Hanxiu looked down at her, his eyes brimming with endless killing intent.

If it weren't for keeping Yun Zhi useful, she would truly think she could have survived to this day?

Meeting Fu Hanxiu's chilling gaze, Yun Zhi's delicate body trembled.

In the end, Yun Zhi was still taken away.

Lin Xueyan watched as Yun Zhi was taken away, her heart feeling especially complicated.

Although the Bloodline Detection proved Yun Zhi was the young master's birth mother, why does the Your Majesty still treat her so coldly?

Could it be that the Your Majesty knows something?

This is impossible!

It must be because of that fox spirit Ye Qingran, who has ensnared the Your Majesty's heart, bewitching him utterly!

Fu Hanxiu gave Lin Xueyan a cold glance, "Get lost, you too!"

Lin Xueyan trembled all over, scrambling away in a crawl-and-run.

The servant who had come to deliver snacks never imagined he could still witness such a splendid show; he was both excited and terrified.

Only when Fu Hanxiu's gaze fell upon him did he, with hands and feet together, pick up the snacks, hand them to Ye Qingran, and then run off as if seeing a ghost.

"Fu Er, what do you have to say?"

Fu Hanxiu's tone showed no anger, but Fu Er knows, this time the Your Majesty is truly furious.

"Your Majesty, I have overstepped." Fu Er lowered his head in shame.

Fu Hanxiu coldly stared at Fu Er, "Your bill, I'll settle it later! Now, get out!" Evidently, Fu Hanxiu did not want to punish Fu Er in front of Ye Qingran.

"Yes!" Fu Er knew his punishment this time would be severe.

It is very likely he will be expelled from the Peak of Chasing Deer.

After Fu Er left, the front hall only had the family of four and the Han Xing Leng Yue sisters.

"Miss Ye, sorry, I let you misunderstand." "Fu Hanxiu really didn't want you to misunderstand anything," you also saw, everything was Fu Er acting on his own initiative, I didn't agree to Yun Zhi moving into the National Master's residence.

"National Master, you don't need to explain this to me, after all we have no relationship, right?" Ye Qingran calmly looked at Fu Hanxiu.

Fu Hanxiu clenched his teeth secretly.

This woman, the more beautiful she is, the more heartless her words are.

Whether they have a relationship or not, she knows best, doesn't she?

They did something indescribable six years ago; now the child is five. If they call that having no relationship, what counts as having a relationship?

However, Fu Hanxiu also didn't expose her. She doesn't want to speak, naturally she has her reasons; if forced to expose, it might backfire.

"Miss Ye, could you consider me again? Perhaps I'm more suitable for you than Wuhen."

Fu Hanxiu suddenly said that.

He looked deep and affectionate, his peerlessly handsome face actually showed utter sincerity.

Ye Qingran widened her eyes, somewhat taken aback.

Han Xing and Leng Yue looked at each other, both opening their mouths, their eyes filled with surprise.

The Emperor Sovereign at the Peak of the Contending Deer, is he confessing to their young lady?

"National Master, you'd better not joke like that. Otherwise I'll think that in your heart I'm someone who's fickle."
