Chapter 1997: Chapter 1997: Why is the Heart So Dark?

What business does she have with him? Quite audacious for her to ask, they’re husband and wife after all, yet it’s come to the point where she can’t approach him unless it’s something important.

When did it all begin, she wondered.

It started right after Yi Kun was born, for he was frail from birth. Even after consulting with all the pharmacists in the Sect, they said he wouldn’t live long.

Thereafter, the relationship between them as husband and wife plummeted. Leng Ye would never visit her courtyard without reason, and acted as though she as his wife did not exist.

“If there’s nothing important, I cannot come looking for you?” she asked Sect Master Leng with a cold voice.

Sect Master Leng’s eyelids twitched, but he did not say anything offensive.

“If you wish to see the current sect master, you can send someone to report, and I will naturally come to see you,” he said.

“Heh.”

Lady Leng let out a cold laugh.

Send someone to report? She was certain that even if she truly sent someone, she would be mercilessly turned away, never getting the chance to see him.

Moreover, consider how Leng Ye refers to himself in front of her, ‘the current sect master’?

Now he truly no longer regarded her as his wife. She thought if it wasn’t for their son and daughter, she probably would have been sent back to her daughter-in-law’s family, wouldn’t she?

“Leng Ye, I don’t wish to waste words with you. I’ll only ask you one thing, where is my Yi Kun, where have you hidden my Yi Kun?” she asked directly.

At those words, Sect Master Leng’s eyebrows shot up.

He knew that this matter couldn’t be hidden. From the moment he brought out Yi Kun to meet High Priest Demon Heart, he knew that someday everyone would find out.

“Where is Yi Kun, aren’t you the clearest about that?”

“Don’t try to be sly with me, don’t think I’m unaware; Yi Kun didn’t die, you’ve hidden him. Leng Ye, how could your heart be so black? For the sake of that child out there, you even went as far as to hide my Yi Kun?”

Lady Leng loudly questioned Sect Master Leng. She had never seen a father so heartless!

“Isn’t Yi Kun your son as well? Is that child outside so amazing that he can take all your attention away and allow you to scheme against your own eldest legitimate son?”

“What nonsense are you spouting? Have you lost your mind?”

Leng Ye stood up, his cold gaze fixed on Lady Leng. Had it not been for the extreme effort he was putting into restraining himself, he certainly would have ordered her to be thrown out.

“Lady, you’ve suddenly remembered Yi Kun now? Why didn’t you care about him more in the past? Do I need to remind you who is to blame for Yi Kun’s frail health since childhood?”

“You—”

Lady Leng was momentarily at a loss for words, recalling what she had done while carrying Leng Yikun, her eyes betraying her guilt.

“I… I did that to bear you a son. If it weren’t for you, why would I have done such a thing? Who knew complications would arise and that Yi Kun would be born weak?

Besides, I wanted to make amends back then, but you, you yourself wouldn’t agree, so how is it related to me?”

She didn’t feel like she had done anything wrong. When she had her first child, it was a daughter, and fearing her second child would also be a girl and disliked by the Old Sect Master—her father-in-law—she went to her own brother, hoping to use medicine to change the fate of the child in her womb and ensure it was a boy.

How could she have known the medicine would cause complications? Although Yi Kun was a son, he was born sickly and had never been well throughout the years.

“You dare to mention the past?” Sect Master Leng’s voice suddenly rose several degrees.
