Chapter 125: The Mystery of Life (Part )
Ye Chuxue raised her eyebrows and thought to herself: You came just in time, so I don’t have to go look for her.
So she asked Chen Yu to let Chang in.
When Chang came in and saw Ye Xinrou's half-naked, miserable appearance, her eyes instantly turned red. She glared at Ye Chuxue viciously and said with gritted teeth, "You bitch, what did you do to Rou'er? She's your sister, how can you be so inhumane!"
"She wasn't violated. It's just that others couldn't stand her appearance and punished her." Ye Chuxue explained expressionlessly.
Chang stared at Ye Xinrou with suspicion, her eyes revealing deep confusion and worry.
Ye Xinrou nodded slightly under Chang's gaze. Seeing this scene, the stone in Chang's heart finally fell to the ground.
She ran forward as fast as the wind and came to Ye Xinrou. Her eyes, which had been sharp, were now filled with tenderness. Chang stretched out her arms and hugged Ye Xinrou tightly.
Ye Xinrou leaned against Chang's warm embrace, finally unable to contain the pain and fear within her, and sobbed softly. With sobs, she intermittently recounted to Chang the various hardships and humiliations she had endured over the past few days. Chang listened quietly, her expression growing more solemn, the anger in her eyes growing more intense.
After Ye Xinrou finished her outburst, Chang suddenly turned around and glared at Ye Chuxue fiercely, her well-maintained face twisted with anger. She demanded, "Why couldn't you just lock Rou'er up in a room by herself? Why did you have to torture her like this? You actually locked her up with those lowly civilians, letting those clueless people bully our Rou'er at will!"
Facing Chang's questioning, Ye Chuxue simply chuckled coldly, her laughter filled with disdain and sarcasm. She raised the corner of her mouth in a scornful arc and retorted bluntly, "Hmph, what? Do I have to give her special care just because she's a criminal? When Ye Xinrou bullied me, you never showed me such concern as you do now!"
After saying this, Ye Chuxue sneered again, her laughter like a chill wind on a cold night, blowing straight into one's heart. Then, with a look of sarcasm on her face, she continued, "That's right, I'm not your biological child, but is that how you've treated me all these years? Do you think you've let me live a life worse than pigs and dogs?"
Chang's eyes, as if tainted with poison, stared fiercely at Ye Chuxue and sternly said, "Hmph! Since you already know that you're not the biological daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, then you should be grateful to us! You know, the Prime Minister's Mansion raised you, not only giving you the incomparably noble status of the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter, but also allowing you to live a life of plenty. Isn't this enough?"
A smile slowly emerged on Ye Chuxue's stunningly beautiful face, yet within it was a hint of sarcasm. She chuckled softly and said, "Haha, is that really the case? If you put it that way, it would seem I'm being ungrateful and ungrateful. The Prime Minister's wife must know best what kind of life I've led in the palace these past few years!"
But...if I'm not mistaken, when the Prime Minister brought me back to his palace, he must have accepted a lot of money from people, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chang's face flashed with shock. She had never expected Ye Chuxue to know about this. For a moment, she even forgot to hide her emotions and blurted out, "How did you know?"
After saying this, a flash of panic suddenly flashed through Chang's heart, as if struck by thunder, and her whole body trembled. She thought to herself, "Could it be that the person from back then really has come looking for Ye Chuxue? Could it be that Ye Chuxue already knows my true identity? This is the end! It's over, it's over, what should I do?"
At this moment, just as Ye Chuxue was looking at Chang with a playful expression, Ye Xinrou, who was standing beside her, gently tugged at Chang's sleeve. Ye Xinrou slowly lowered her head, her voice as soft as the buzzing of a mosquito: "Mom, actually... I was the one who told Ye Chuxue this."
Then, after a moment's hesitation, Ye Xinru took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to tell everything about the conversation she had overheard between Chang and the Prime Minister.
After hearing these words, Chang suddenly felt as if a huge stone had fallen from his heart, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was not that person who came to find Ye Chuxue. After all, the strength and true identity of the person who was able to take out a full 500,000 taels of silver without hesitation must be extremely powerful, and he is definitely not someone they can easily provoke.
Chang tried to calm the turmoil within her, then stiffened her neck and glared fiercely at Ye Chuxue, attempting to conceal her guilt. She raised her voice and said, "So what? For so many years, I've provided for your food, clothing, and daily necessities—everything cost money. If you think about it, it's us who've suffered the loss! You should..."
Ye Chuxue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a scornful smile. Just as Chang was caught off guard, she raised her hand, a flash of cold light flashed, and a small pill flew straight into Chang's open mouth like lightning.
Chang's words were instantly interrupted, as if someone had suddenly grabbed her throat. Instinctively, she swallowed, and the pill slid down her throat into her stomach.
When Chang came to her senses, her eyes were wide open with fear. She frantically reached for her mouth, trying to spit out the pill she had just swallowed, but it was too late.
Chang suddenly raised her head and stared at Ye Chuxue, her eyes filled with hatred and fear. Her voice trembled, as if coming from the depths of a gloomy and terrifying hell: "You...what on earth did you give me to eat?"
Facing Chang's questioning, Ye Chuxue shrugged nonchalantly and spread out her hands nonchalantly, but a barely perceptible cunning light flashed in her beautiful eyes: "It's just a pill, but this is no ordinary medicine, it's a highly toxic medicine that can rip your intestines open and cause you extreme pain.
If you can't get the antidote within an hour, hehe, the consequences will be disastrous. You'll just have to watch your stomach explode bit by bit, your internal organs spilling everywhere, and you'll die tragically on the spot."
Hearing these words, Chang's face instantly turned pale as paper, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead. Her body couldn't help but tremble violently, and even the finger that was pointing at Ye Chuxue was shaking like a candle in the wind.
Chang was so frightened at this moment that she almost pleaded, "You... please give me the antidote! Please! As long as you give me the antidote, I will agree to whatever you want!"
