Second Miss Ye is no ordinary woman. I’m certain she’ll be perfectly fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he hadn’t had much contact with Ye Chutang, he had heard a few things from Lian Zhou. He felt that despite her youth, she was calm, composed, and methodical in her actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, her medical skills are superb. She was able to treat even your injuries, my lord. This little trouble she’s in now should be nothing to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yanchuan didn’t ask any further questions. He lowered his gaze and resumed writing his letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reply was quickly written. He folded it and slipped it into an envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Cheng stepped forward to take it, inwardly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What could be so urgent?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But that wasn’t his place to ask.’ He carefully tucked the letter away and respectfully withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yanchuan pinched the bridge of his nose and looked out the window again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night was deep, a crescent moon hanging high in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a light, pattering rain gradually filled the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yellowing leaves swayed in the autumn wind, only to be beaten down by the rain, creating a damp and desolate scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each autumn rain, the weather turns colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn in the Capital City always arrived fast and sudden. After just one night of rain, it seemed to have grown much colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ye Chutang got up that morning, she dressed Xiao Wu in a special goose-yellow brocade garment embroidered with passion flowers. It made the Little Point’s fair, chubby face look even more adorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She examined herself in the mirror. The wound on her neck had already formed a light scab that would fall off in a few more days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu knelt by her legs, her face full of distress as she carefully applied medicine for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wound didn’t really hurt anymore. Feeling a bit playful, Ye Chutang pinched Xiao Wu’s cheek. \"Your big sis told you it wasn’t a serious injury. Do you believe me now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Of course she believed her sis, but that didn’t mean other people could just bully and hurt her!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She still hadn’t settled the score with the person who hurt her sis!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, Xiao Wu’s little brow furrowed even tighter. She held up her chubby little hands and began gesturing to Ye Chutang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Ye Chutang not guess what was on her mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to know what happened to Han Yao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu nodded vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chutang blinked. Having stayed indoors for the past few days, she really didn’t know the specifics of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Shen Yanchuan’s way of doing things... I can never figure it out.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a while since the incident. Logically, some news should have gotten out by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Qingyang had even known about Ye Heng’s suicide, yet there had been no word at all about Han Yao and his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, she ruffled Xiao Wu’s hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go get your fourth brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu nodded, turned, and scurried outside on her short little legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yunfeng was in the courtyard, practicing his archery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH—THWACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow flew with a sharp gust, landing dead center in the target. The force was so great that the fletching was still trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the noise, Ye Yunfeng lowered his bow and turned his head, a roguish smile appearing on his handsome face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Wu, want to learn? Your fourth brother will teach you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d had nothing to do at home for the past few days, so he had taken out the bow from Shen Yanchuan. His progress in just a few days had been astonishingly fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s still too little. Wait until she’s older,\" Ye Jingyan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Does he really think Xiao Wu was born with the same brute strength as him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu pointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yunfeng realized what she meant, a little surprised. \"Sis is looking for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant smile blossomed on Xiao Wu’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yunfeng casually set down his bow. As he passed Xiao Wu, he couldn’t resist pinching her chubby little cheek. Then, with a few quick bounds, he was inside the house, calling out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis? You were looking for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",708,"2026-06-06T07:54:32.966Z",1,"novelbin.me","591c214ae629ca559e44cb1015901bcb0a03176bd23b3d9f937af1c8e1f99fb2","the-duke-s-pampered-darling-is-so-scheming-chapter-249","the-duke-s-pampered-darling-is-so-scheming-chapter-247",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-duke-s-pampered-darling-is-so-scheming-cover.jpg"]
