Chapter 1659 - Xiao Ya’s Whereabouts VIII (2/2)

Qi Qin’er smiled. “Then, I’ll wait for you at Sister Feng’s manor. Don’t worry. We won’t go back to the palace. We don’t want to die there.”

She had almost died back then, and she was so scared to live alone in the palace again. She could only feel safe when she stayed with Feng Ruqing.

Qi Fang was somewhat saddened to see his wife and his children leaving him.

Back then, he and the empress were a lovely couple who were envied by everyone. His children were so proud of him and loved to stay with him in the palace.

Had he done something wrong?

Qi Fang fell silent, lost in thought…

***

Yun Huan Kingdom.

Duan Manor.

A mocking voice echoed through the courtyard…

“I don’t understand why our Young Master brought back a disfigured mute… Second Lady is so beautiful. That mute is nothing compared to our Second Lady.”

“Shh, don’t say that. I heard that this mute used to be the young lady, but she ran away with another man back then. Now, that man has abandoned her and hurt her to such an extent, so she has returned to find our Young Master.”

“Young Master is so pitiful. He abandoned his second wife for her, and she ended up running away with someone else. I heard that she has been with more than one man. The wives of those men found her, ruined her face, and poisoned her until she was mute.”

“That is her fault then. She deserved it! Such a woman is not worthy of our Young Master!”

The servants suddenly stopped talking as they saw a man walking past them with a bowl of herbs. They lowered their heads and continued with their works, not daring to discuss any further.

Duan Qiong smiled as he walked slowly toward the backyard with a bowl of herbs.

This was the spirit herb that he got from his father after begging him. It was said to be very effective and could return Ya’er’s voice.
