Chapter 38: How Could There Be a Child?

"Meiren Sister, Xiao Hu will try even harder next time," actually, he was only worried that a death would affect Meiren Sister. So the poison given to Zhao Shi and her mother was diluted.

Otherwise, he could make Ye Sisi pull out all her intestines, and make Zhao Shi scratch herself to death.

But, in Meiren Sister's eyes, he has always been cute and handsome, how could he commit such a cruel act?

She shouted a few times, but no one opened the door, and Ye Sisi ordered the servants to kick.

The servants hesitated.

They couldn't help but recall the day Ye Qingran had just returned to the manor, in front of many servants, cutting off the tongues of two disobedient maidservants.

That blood‑soaked scene they still cannot forget.

"Did you not hear my words? If you keep disobeying, beware that I will wipe out your Nine Clans!"

Ye Sisi planted her hands on her hips, fire blazing in her eyes.

Has even a single servant dared to bully her now?!

How outrageous!

The servants, steeling themselves and lifting a foot to kick the door, saw the courtyard gate of Ting Yu Xuan open from inside.

Ye Qingran stood at the doorway, her white robes whiter than snow, bearing an elegant, pure bearing and stunning beauty.

Ye Sisi saw Ye Qingran unscathed, while she and Zhao Shi looked disheveled, their brows and eyes showing unmistakable weary darkness, and the anger in their hearts burned ever hotter.

"Ye Qingran, you bitch, you framed us!"

Ye Sisi pointed at Ye Qingran's nose and ranted at her face.

"Ye Sisi, why can't I understand what you're saying?"

Ye Qingran, relaxed, looked at Ye Sisi and asked as if bewildered.

"What are you pretending? Last night, it must have been you who poisoned us!"

"I mean, last night, why were you so strange? Turns out you were poisoned."

Ye Qingran adopted a clueless attitude.

She finished, then, without forgetting to feign concern, "Are you all alright?"

"Ye Qingran, stop pretending to be a good person here! It must have been you who poisoned us, making us look a complete fool!"

"Ye Sisi, you must be responsible for your words. I never poisoned you." The one who actually administered the poison was the cute Xiao Hu.

Ye Sisi's tone acquired a hint of anger.

"Ye Qingran, now that it's come to this, you still won't admit it. Then don't blame me for being impolite. Servants, search them!"

Han Xing Leng Yue blocked the front gate, his brows and eyes cold.

"Ye Sisi, what are you going to do?"

Ye Sisi sneered, "Find what? Of course I'm looking for evidence!"

Ye Qingran remained very calm: "If you want to search me, it's not impossible at Ting Yu Xuan. Bring me the search warrant issued by the Censorate, let me see it?"

Search warrant?

What the hell thing!

"What, none? If there is none, I suggest your Censorate file this case, let the Censorate official order a thorough investigation, then you can obtain a search warrant."

Both Ye Sisi and Zhao Shi's faces darkened.

If the incident from last night were reported to the Censorate and they ordered a thorough probe, wouldn't everyone know who caused the trouble?

How could such a shameful matter be known by more people?

"Ye Qingran, you're just a guilty thief? If you have the guts, let us search!"

"I said, without a search warrant, don't even think about it!"

Ye Qingran's tone left no room for objection.

Zhao Shi and Ye Sisi never expected Ye Qingran's attitude to be so calm and persistent. For a moment, the two were at a loss. After all, Ye Qingran's words were not without reason.

The two exchanged a glance, each revealing a murderous intent in their eyes.

"I don't care about your search warrant, servants, search them!"

Since the soft approach won't work, let's go hard!

"Xing Er, Yue Er."

With a single command from Ye Qingran, Han Xing Leng Yue acted, a single man holding the pass that ten thousand could not breach; those shrimp soldiers and crab generals were no match for them.

All the people brought by Ye Sisi and Zhao Shi were knocked flat to the ground.

In contrast, Han Xing Leng Yue breathed without even a sigh.

Ye Sisi and Zhao Shi were both shocked and angry.

What shocked them was that the maid beside Ye Qingran was so overwhelmingly powerful?

What infuriated them was that the enemy was right before their eyes, yet they had no way to deal with her!

Ye Sisi stared at Ye Qingran, and suddenly saw a tiny figure crouching at the courtyard gate, peeking this way.

A child?

Ye Sisi's eyes flashed.

How could there be a child inside Ting Yu Xuan?

Could it be…

"Mother, there's a child in Ting Yu Xuan; it must be a Wild Offspring that Ye Qingran gave birth to while she was out fooling around during those missing years!"

Ye Sisi whispered to Zhao Shi. Upon hearing this, Zhao Shi widened her eyes, glanced toward Ting Yu Xuan, and also saw the figure of Mo Xiaohu.

"Well done, Ye Qingran, daring to secretly raise a Wild Offspring behind our backs! Servants, a Fickle Woman has emerged from our household, hurry and inform the master to come clean up the house!"

Hearing Zhao Shi's words, Mo Xiaohu was stunned.

He instinctively took two steps back, then hid behind the wall, leaning against it, his handsome little face showing confusion and astonishment.

He never imagined his existence would bring disaster to Meiren Sister.

For a moment, his heart was filled with annoyance and self‑blame.

Soon, Ye Yu learned the news and rushed over.

"What happened again?!"

After enduring the series of events last night, Ye Yu was utterly exhausted in body and mind.

Now hearing that another incident broke out on Ye Qingran's side, his heart was filled with panic and irritability.

Zhao Shi hurried forward, pointing at Ye Qingran's Courtyard, and said sharply, "Lord, it turns out Ye Qingran secretly gave birth to a Wild Offspring behind our backs. That Wild Offspring is inside Ting Yu Xuan!"

"What?!"

Ye Yu's complexion flickered.

"Is that true?"

"Of course it's true; Mother and I just saw it, already about four or five years old!" Ye Sisi laughed with schadenfreude.

Ye Yu's face suddenly darkened.

Five years ago, the matter of Ye Qingran's pregnancy, he had spent a lot of effort to keep it hidden. Had Ye Qingran not later disappeared, it probably would not have stayed concealed.

He thought that matter was over. Unexpectedly, after Ye Qingran returned, she actually brought a child?!

But didn't Ye Huanhuan say that child was already dead…

Could it be that Ye Qingran has gotten involved with another man?

What a Fickle Woman!

Disgust flickered in Ye Yu's eyes.

"Qingran, are they really saying that?!" Ye Yu strained to suppress the anger in his heart.

Ye Qingran stared straight at Ye Yu, not missing the disgust in his eyes.

She curled the corner of her lips, smiling sarcastically.
