Chapter 499 – The Ninth Lord Is Furious (2/2)

After saying these last words, Xuan Tian Ming did not want to look at this woman any longer, as he turned around and left.

Yao shi was no longer able to remain kneeling and fell to the ground. She wanted to have a maidservant to lean on. She had suffered a great shock, but when she raised her arm, she found that there was nobody there.

There was no maidservant there to support her. Even Qing Lan, who was her personal servant, only looked at her indifferently.

Yao shi could see a trace of alienation in Qing Lan’s eyes, and she felt shocked. The feeling of rebellion filled her heart, and she could not even block it. But she stubbornly believed that Qing Lan not respecting her, along with the other servants not respecting her were all ordered to do so by Feng Yu Heng. She pointed at Qing Lan and shouted: “You also belong to her, right? It was her that arranged for you to come over here! What exactly are you wanting to do? You want my life?”

Qing Lan was on the verge of tears, as she grabbed Yao shi’s wrist and begged: “Madam, please wake up! As long as you are willing to wake up, your life will continue as it has. How could young miss want your life. She loves you more than words can describe! Back when madam was poisoned by the spirit-altering drug, young miss whipped the third prince until he was severely injured to get revenge for you. After she returned, she did not say anything about it to you, but madam, did you know? Because of this matter, she kneeled in front of the imperial palace for an entire night! Her knees even became swollen from kneeling.”

Yao shi looked blankly at Qing Lan while she spoke, and her emotions began to flicker; however, she repeatedly shook her head, saying: “But I cannot lie to myself. She is not my daughter. She truly is not.”

Qing Lan was so angry until she was about to go mad. If the person in front of her was not the madam, she truly wanted to slap her until she woke up. But, in the end, she could not. All she could do was advise to the best of her ability, but Qing Lan was just not able to understand: “Madam, why do you say that young miss is not your daughter? Does she look different from before?”

Yao shi shook her head, “She’s completely the same.”

“Then why do you say that she is not!” Qing Lan was speechless. This woman’s brain was sick, right?

But Yao shi patted her chest and said: “I can feel it! I can just feel it! That is the daughter that I was pregnant with for ten months. I can feel even the slightest change in her!”

Qing Lan recalled what Xuan Tian Ming had said earlier, thus she said to her: “If madam is talking about the young miss’ large change in her demeanor, his Highness the ninth prince is right. After such a harsh life, people changing is normal. On the contrary…” She looked at Yao shi and gritted her teeth, saying: “On the contrary, having been rescued from a desperate situation and remaining the same, madam, you are the odd one.” Qing Lan’s face became cold as she looked at Yao shi. She then reminded her: “If you continue like this, she truly will not be your daughter.”

Yao shi was shocked and subconsciously asked: “Then who is she?”

“She is Princess Yu.”

Yao shi was a little afraid. If Feng Yu Heng truly did not recognize her as her mother, then… would she not have truly lost her daughter? “Let me think. Let me think a little.”

Xuan Tian Ming’s imperial carriage continued to traverse the capital; however, it was getting further and further from the imperial daughter’s manor. The little girl in his lap woke for a moment in a daze then tugged his sleeve to wipe her face. When she raised her hand again, she went to grab his face.

He helplessly grabbed her small hand and heard Ban Zou ask: “Your Highness, will you be bringing master back to the Yu Palace?”

Xuan Tian Ming raised an eyebrow: “What otherwise?”

Once the girl in his lap heard this, she suddenly laughed and drowsily said: “Good! Go to the Yu Palace and find Xuan Tian Ming. Only he doesn’t bully me.”

A certain person felt choked up and held the person in his lap tighter, “Come with me. I will never allow you to leave my side.”
