“Ha ha...” Watching the scene with her brother, Elder Qingxue couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.
Although she had already sensed that this brother was completely different from the brother she had imagined, she was still inevitably hurt when he unhesitatingly betrayed her. So this was the truth of the past?
“Get lost!!!” Seeing Mo Dazhuang in such a state, Ye Xuan was irritated and kicked him away.
“Yes, yes... Thank you, Young Master Ye, for your great mercy, thank you, Young Master Ye!!!” After thanking Ye Xuan a few times, Mo Dazhuang quickly turned and fled.
“Young Master Ye, you’re just letting him go like that?” One of the guards asked Ye Xuan.
“Young Master, it was him who prevented you from being with Miss Jiang. You can bear with this kind of anger?” Another guard added.
“Don’t f*cking fan the flames.” Ye Xuan glared at them, then said, “I thought he cared about Qingxue, so he schemed to get Qingxue and me together. I thought by treating Qingxue poorly, I was getting revenge on him...”
“But it turns out, I overestimated him. He doesn’t care about Qingxue at all. Ha, it seems I’ve wronged Qingxue.”
“Uh...” The guards, hearing this, understood that Ye Xuan genuinely cared for Qingxue.
“Ah, so Young Master Ye, you care about the mistress that much, but you were still so harsh on Mo Dazhuang?” A guard asked.
Ye Xuan replied, “He caused me to lose the woman I loved. Not killing him is already a mercy for Qingxue’s sake... It looks like I can’t be too good to Qingxue for now, otherwise, she will definitely try to help her brother.”
“This, this is wrong–!!!” Elder Qingxue’s face showed shock as she watched the scenes unfold in the mirror. It was completely different from what she remembered. Ye Xuan couldn’t possibly have such feelings for her. He always treated her harshly, like a plaything...
He came to her when interested, and ignored her otherwise. If Ye Xuan really cared for her, how could all that happened later have occurred? Was the mirror reversing right and wrong?!!
Yet...Elder Qingxue found herself wanting to believe what she saw. Deep down, she yearned for Ye Xuan’s love. How could she hate him for hundreds of years and yet not forget him?!!
“I just knew it... I just knew that Brother Ye Xuan couldn’t be that kind of villain–!!!” Unlike Elder Qingxue, Yu Ling’er was extremely excited at this moment. Despite Elder Qingxue’s repeated assertions that Ye Xuan was a big villain, she never believed it. She firmly stood by Ye Xuan’s side.
She understood she might be wrong, but she had unconditionally supported Ye Xuan. Yet, she hoped she was the one who was right. Now, it seemed she was indeed correct. Ye Xuan wasn’t the so-called villain or scum.
It was Elder Qingxue who kept getting slapped in the face by reality, now even starting to doubt her own life. Yu Ling’er believed there would be more twists to come in the story. She wanted to know what happened next.
Inside Ye Mansion’s courtyard, Mo Dazhuang climbed over the wall and knocked on Ye Xuan’s door.
“Who is it?!” A voice came from inside, Mo Qingxue’s voice.
“Qingxue, it’s me, your big brother.”
“Big brother?” Hearing this, the door opened from the inside, and Mo Qingxue looked out in surprise.
Mo Dazhuang was bruised and swollen at this moment.
“Big brother, what happened... Why are you like this?”
“Humph–!!!”Mo Dazhuang snorted, “It’s all because of your good husband, he’s the one who beat me–!!!”
“What?!! He actually did such a thing–!!!” Hearing this, Mo Qingxue’s face showed an expression of shock.
“That beast, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do...” Mo Dazhuang said to Mo Qingxue. “Sister, please, I beg you, speak to him on my behalf. After all, as a husband and wife, even for a day, there’s a deep bond.”
“Please plead for me, don’t let him kick me out of the new house... It’s okay if I’m thrown out, but think of our mother, your sister-in-law, and your two nieces–!!!”
Mo Qingxue looked troubled upon hearing this and said helplessly, “Brother... don’t you understand? He doesn’t care about me at all. Pleading with him is useless. If I really do, he will treat you even more viciously.”
“You mean you won’t plead for me?!” Hearing this, Mo Dazhuang looked at Mo Qingxue with a cold expression.
“Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t... If I plead for you, he really will treat you worse,” Mo Qingxue quickly explained.
“Hahaha... Mo Qingxue, I was wrong about you. You live well here every day, and now, when I just ask you to speak nicely to Ye Xuan for me, you refuse–!!!” Mo Dazhuang sneered, “From today, our sibling bond is broken. I won’t come to see you again.”
“Brother, I really...” Mo Qingxue was in a panic.
Before she could explain, Mo Dazhuang turned and left. But unbeknownst to Mo Qingxue, he intentionally dropped a small stone on the ground. A sinister black aura emanated from it.
“Brother–!!!” Mo Qingxue wanted to chase after him, but remembering Ye Xuan’s words, she helplessly withdrew.
She felt utterly hopeless, unable to understand why things had turned out this way. She was willing to do anything Ye Xuan asked, but he only treated her as a disposable object, tossing her aside when bored.
Her brother didn’t understand her, Ye Xuan looked down on her. Not long ago, she found hope amidst despair, but now she felt Ye Xuan had cruelly kicked her back into the abyss of despair.
The black aura from the stone Mo Dazhuang left behind began to spread, and an invisible figure appeared.
“So this is the home of the rich? Such strong human energy.”
Mo Qingxue couldn’t see or hear this figure.
“Hehehe... This Mo Dazhuang, I just promised him a little benefit, and he’s willing to give me even his sister’s life. Well then, let me also enjoy the good life of the rich for a while, hahaha!” Saying this, the figure turned into black smoke and entered Mo Qingxue’s body.
“Ah?!!”
Everyone watching the scene was surprised, especially Elder Qingxue, who was visibly shocked. “This... How can this be?!!”
“Elder Qingxue... What is that?” Yu Ling’er asked.
“No... This can’t be true, it’s absolutely impossible!” At this moment, Elder Qingxue was unable to maintain her usual composure and even seemed somewhat crazed. “My child... my child turned out to be... a fox spirit’s offspring?!!”
“What?!!” Hearing this, Yu Ling’er was shocked, “A fox spirit’s offspring?!”
It’s rumored that some lazy fox spirits, rather than cultivating, prefer deceiving people. Some deceive for money, which is somewhat tolerable, but others drain human vitality, even endangering lives.
Among these, the most malevolent is the fox spirit’s offspring. They infiltrate the womb of wealthy women, creating an illusion of pregnancy. However, they are actually absorbing the woman’s essence directly in the womb.
Over time, even if the woman becomes drained, no one would suspect the cause is her own ‘pregnancy’. Because of being pregnant, a woman generally eats better, so it takes a while for her essence to be completely drained, which suits the fox spirit just fine.
In short, the fox spirit’s offspring is undoubtedly one of the most evil acts a fox spirit can commit. But due to the heinous nature of this act, most fox spirits dare not attempt it unless with the consent of a family member of the victim.
This means Mo Dazhuang was fully aware of what he was doing! He was willing to sacrifice his sister Mo Qingxue because she couldn’t help him?
“Despicable!!!” At this moment, Yu Ling’er was furious, but she lacked the vocabulary to express her outrage and could only mutter this in anger.
Meanwhile, Elder Qingxue was overcome with tears. She realized she had never been pregnant. Her most cherished child was actually a fox spirit’s offspring.
“Why?!!”
But no, how could she be so heartbroken? She should be relieved; she never had a child, never lost a child. She shouldn’t be sad...
Despite trying to convince herself, tears couldn’t help but flow. What else did she have in this world, apart from her hatred for Ye Xuan?
But if her child was a fox spirit’s offspring from the start, then Ye Xuan didn’t owe her anything. Instead, she owed him. Where then did she get the right to hate Ye Xuan?!
