Chapter 90: Mother, Xiao Hu Finally Found You!
Ye Qingran didn't ride the moonlit silver wolf, but carried Mo Xiaohu as she walked back, and the moonlit silver wolf kept pace behind them, silently lowering its head.
Ye Qingran wore a cold expression, not knowing why she felt so down.
In truth, there was never much between her and Fu Hanxiu, but the thought that he might poison her, and his earlier harsh attitude, made her feel suffocated.
"Meiren Sister, don't be sad."
Xiao Hu's voice sounded beside her ear.
Ye Qingran was taken aback.
She looked at the pitiful Mo Xiaohu, her heart full of guilt.
She shouldn't display such negative emotions in front of the child.
She forced herself to raise a smile.
"Xiao Hu, I'm sorry, Mother is no longer sad!"
"Mother?"
Xiao Hu was momentarily stunned.
Perhaps Ye Qingran herself hadn't realized when she began to regard herself as a mother in front of Xiao Hu.
Xiao Hu thought for a long while, finally mustering courage, and asked the question that had lingered in his heart for so long: "Meiren Sister, do you like Xiao Hu?"
Ye Qingran blinked, lowering her gaze to the soft, cuddly little cutie in her arms.
She twitched the corner of her mouth, almost without thinking, and said with absolute certainty: "I like you, of course I do! Mother likes Xiao Hu very, very much!"
At that moment, Mo Xiaohu seemed to hear the sound of flowers blooming.
In his mind, brilliant fireworks seemed to burst.
Mo Xiaohu lifted his neck, staring unblinking at Ye Qingran's profile.
Traveling thousands of miles, stumbling and faltering.
"I finally found you."
"I, my dearest, Mother."
From now on, Xiao Hu will no longer be an unwanted orphan, no longer gaze enviously at other children, no longer stare at the star‑filled night in lonely darkness, repeatedly imagining your form!
Because you are right before my eyes, bright and vivid.
And I am also fortunate, cradled in your arms, gazing at your gentle smile.
"Mother!"
He could no longer hold back, clutching Ye Qingran's neck tightly, his heart overjoyed.
"Do you know? When I set out to find you, Tiger Demon King Aunt told me that if I meet the woman I think is the most beautiful, the one I like the most, and who also likes me, she would be my Mother."
"Mother, Xiao Hu finally found you!"
Xiao Hu's words made Ye Qingran's steps falter; she seemed as if her soul had been pulled out, her gaze losing focus.
Deep inside, that undeniable intimacy made her instinctively think of Xiao Hu as her child.
At the auction, Xiao Hu was allergic to mangoes.
So many people said they had similar eyebrows and eyes.
Is all this coincidence, or…
A terrifying thought rose in his mind.
Ye Qingran's excited body couldn't help trembling.
Could it be…
"Little Silver, let's go back, quickly!"
The moonlit silver wolf instantly grew larger, carrying the two of them, and sped back to Ting Yu Xuan.
Han Xing Leng Yue and Fu Qianchen were still at Ting Yu Xuan waiting for Ye Qingran.
Seeing that they returned safely, they all let out a sigh of relief.
Ye Qingran immediately had Leng Yue fetch two white Jade Bottles, adding a special concoction inside. Then she took a few drops of blood from Mo Xiaohu and her own finger.
Han Xing Leng Yue saw this and all showed a startled expression.
"Miss, this is…"
"Meiren Mother, what are you doing?"
Mo Xiaohu stared blankly at his bleeding finger, a puzzled look on his face.
Ye Qingran smiled at Mo Xiaohu and said, "In a little while, you'll know."
After speaking, she called Han Xing Leng Yue aside and whispered instructions.
"Send the blood of me and Xiao Hu to Yaowang Valley, and have Old Jin there help conduct a Bloodline Detection."
Bloodline Detection, similar to modern DNA testing, can determine whether a parent‑child relationship exists between individuals.
However, the Xuanmiao Continent's method of Bloodline Detection is rather unique and takes longer.
"Bloodline Detection?!"
Just as expected!
"Miss, you suspect Xiao Hu…" Han Xing's pupils contracted, shocked into silence.
"Xiao Hu, is he Miss's child?"
Ye Qingran had already calmed down.
She shook her head: "Right now it's only suspicion, which is why we need the test. But until the results are certain, don't tell Xiao Hu; I'm afraid he'll be disappointed…"
Regarding her relationship with Xiao Hu, she was only speculating; although her intuition told her the guess was correct, there was still no evidence.
Bloodline Detection would be the evidence!
Han Xing Leng Yue was deeply moved, her eyes filled with strong expectations.
They silently prayed in their hearts.
Hope that Xiao Hu is the young lady's long-lost child.
Such an outcome is a joy for the young lady, for Xiao Hu, and even for Yaowang Valley!
Are you sure you didn't see wrong?
Ye Huanhuan heard the servant's report, and a pleased expression involuntarily appeared on her face.
The servant insisted she hadn't mistaken! Ye Qingran was indeed holding her child when she left Guoshi Fu; the servant inquired further, and someone said they saw people from Guoshi Fu seize Ye Qingran's child and take it inside. Seeing Ye Qingran's expression—full of grief and indignation—I believe the child was abused by the National Master!
How satisfying!
Ye Huanhuan couldn't help but laugh.
I knew it—such a proud person as the National Master, upon learning that the one he likes is already impure and even has a child with another man, would surely resort to extreme measures!
Once there's a first time, there will definitely be a second. Ye Qingran, Ye Qingran, your days in Xiliang City won't be easy!
Ye Huanhuan had never felt so relieved.
Since returning from the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, she has continually been suppressed by Ye Qingran in every aspect—her looks and her musical skill both slightly inferior—this matter finally lets her hold her head high!
However, this is still far from enough; I still need to add fuel to the fire of the conflict between you and the National Master!
Ye Huanhuan narrowed her eyes, and a frost mist as toxic as poison gathered in her beautiful pupils.
Ye Huanhuan pondered for a moment, then gestured for the servant to come over and whispered in her ear…
The servant's eyes lit up, and she promptly strode away.
Guoshi Fu
The atmosphere had never been as terrifying as it has been these past few days.
The entire Guoshi Fu seemed shrouded in extremely low pressure, the temperature plunging to ice-cellar levels, making it hard to breathe.
Your Majesty.
Fu San entered cautiously and called out weakly.
Anything?
Only after a long while did he receive a response.
The man hidden in the darkness didn't even twitch his eyelids; his whole person was listless and decadent, a dark aura swirling around him, making him look gloomy and demonic.
His voice sounded several degrees more gloomy than usual.
Fu San sighed inwardly.
Having followed his master for years, he had never seen Your Majesty like this.
Your Majesty is truly pitiful—being taken advantage of by the Female Lecherous Thief twice is bad enough; he finally took a liking to a woman, but she seems to have no feelings for him.
Fu San muttered inwardly, feeling that his Your Majesty was not worth it.
Your Majesty, what Miss Ye said earlier was likely just angry words spoken in haste after her child was taken away; you shouldn't take it to heart.
Fu San organized his words and comforted her softly.
Being a subordinate is really tough!
Not only does one have to worry about major affairs, but also about the master's love life.
Whether this remark actually helped or just gave someone a step down, Fu San felt the atmosphere had improved somewhat compared to before.
Fu San's eyes brightened, and he pressed on: 'Your Majesty, Miss Ye is different from ordinary women; if you like her…'
Who said I like her?
