Chapter 2657: Chapter 141: Are You Leru’s Biological Mother?
Upon entering the room, Mu Yubing was found huddled in a corner, her whole body dirty.
She giggled foolishly at those who entered, then clutched at the food in a bowl on the floor, eating non-stop.
Ye Haoxuan’s eyes flickered, "Has she gone mad?"
"Hmph, this little wench puts on a good act. Who knows if she’s truly mad or faking it to seize a chance to escape?"
Ye Haoxuan thought the same, given her deep thoughts, it’s not surprising she might have other plans.
He squatted down, examined her eyes carefully, and sneered, "It should be you, right?"
In the forest, that Miss Bai and Mu Yubing both had those captivating phoenix eyes.
Afraid of making a mistake, he pulled out a handkerchief and covered Mu Yubing’s face with it, the same way that Miss Bai appeared.
"Looking like this, it indeed is!"
"Miss Bai, the lady in white! Haha!"
Ye Haoxuan chuckled coldly twice, "Take her out for me, remember what I said that day?"
"I remember!"
"Good!"
Very soon, Mu Yubing was taken away by several subordinates, and the people at Fairy Moon Pavilion didn’t stop them, knowing that whatever awaited her was not good.
Mu Yubing was returned the next day; those responsible for guarding her discovered that her tongue was gone.
Her mouth was full of fresh blood, the tongue removed at the root, never to utter a word again.
As for what other punishments she suffered, no one knew, but Ye Haoxuan was aware that the feigning mad Mu Yubing had truly gone insane.
"We are heading south tomorrow; you should return to the Capital City." Ms. Hua said during dinner.
Li Luru was very reluctant.
Ye Haoxuan’s eyes flickered, wondering if this was considered fleeing in panic?
At noon, while Li Luru was out, he mentioned the gossip in the Li Residence, and Ms. Hua’s face indeed did not look good then.
He originally wanted to find another chance in the evening, but who knew she would propose to leave right away.
"I’ll come back to see you after I take care of the matters at the pavilion." She said, pinching Li Luru’s cheek when she saw her unhappy face.
Ye Haoxuan then took the opportunity to invite her, "Taking care of matters at the pavilion doesn’t happen in a day. Leru and I will host a banquet once we’re back in Capital City, why don’t Auntie Hua come back with us and attend our wedding banquet?"
Li Luru also looked at her with anticipation.
But Ms. Hua shook her head, "No need, knowing that you are well is enough."
This left Ye Haoxuan puzzled, could he have guessed wrong?
That night, Ye Haoxuan saw that Li Luru was asleep and got up quietly.
He tossed a stone into Ms. Hua’s room, and soon she came out.
"Why aren’t you resting at this late hour, what are you scheming?"
"I’m not scheming anything, it’s Auntie Hua who might have something in mind, right?"
A glint of anger flashed through Ms. Hua’s brows, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Auntie Hua, let’s not beat around the bush." Ye Haoxuan smiled, "I just have one question, are you Luru’s biological mother?"
"No!"
The answer came too swiftly, like it had been rehearsed many times.
Ye Haoxuan just laughed, "You said you weren’t, so I’ll take it as true, but don’t regret what you’ve said today."
With a cold snort in his heart, the wife of Ye Haoxuan is not someone just anyone can claim. Today, I give you the chance to admit it, and you don’t; in the future, should you wish to, you might not get another opportunity.
The next day, Ms. Hua and her group left after breakfast, while Li Luru and Ye Haoxuan decided to stay another day.
