Chapter 1242: Chapter 1237: The Daughter Rong Sheng Gave Birth to for Him

“Xiao Qingyu!” Rong Sheng, always extremely composed, stretched out his hand and forcefully covered Xiao Qingyu’s mouth, whispering a warning, “How dare you!”

All that spilled from Xiao Qingyu’s eyes was helplessness. “Rong Sheng, you need someone to protect you.”

If he had not been in such dire straits, he would never have handed her over to Chu Yifeng!

But now… only Chu Yifeng was capable of it!

“Rong Sheng, why did you follow me all the way to Hangzhou City? And why…did you ask me for Xi’er outside the city of Hangzhou?” When Chu Yifeng said these words, his voice trembled.

He dared not think, nor believe.

...

He looked down and gently caressed the child’s face in his embrace. Xi’er’s fair skin, her delicate features, did indeed bear some resemblance to Rong Sheng!

Moreover, Chu Yihan had once said that the girl was fated with him, her eyes exactly like his own!

If Rong Sheng was already pregnant when she left Yungui City, then Xi’er’s age… would fit!

Chu Yifeng immediately pressed his forehead against Chu Xi’s and asked her, “Xi’er, do you remember who your mother is?”

“Mother?” Chu Xi shook her head, “Xi’er doesn’t know what ‘mother’ is.”

All she knew was that she had a mommy!

Mommy was right in front of her!

Chu Xi’s hand pointed toward Rong Sheng. “Mommy…”

“Mommy?”

In Chu Yifeng’s heart, a storm suddenly surged; he grabbed Rong Sheng’s wrist and loomed over her, pressuring her, “Rong Sheng, what exactly have you done? Did you bear me a daughter? Xi’er is our daughter, isn’t she!”

Rong Sheng’s eyes were filled with hatred. “No! I would never bear you a daughter.”

She couldn’t!

She could not let him know!

The drug she had given him was already working; she was almost able to make him forget her, to forget the enmity between them, and set them both free!

She absolutely could not let her efforts be in vain now!

With eyes reddened, Rong Sheng, carrying her hatred for him, said coldly, “Chu Yifeng, I told you, I aborted the child; she never had the chance to be born!”

“Mommy…”

Chu Xi bit her finger, feeling very sad. Wasn’t she her mommy’s child?

She had come from mommy’s tummy and was alive and well!

“Rong Sheng, you’re lying to me! You deserve to die!”

Chu Yifeng throttled Rong Sheng’s neck; with the strength of his hands, he could take her life in an instant!

“Why must Your Highness be so hard on her? If there are doubts, wouldn’t a blood test settle it? The empress is the female genius doctor of the Great Cheng Dynasty!” Xiao Qingyu, unable to stand, clutched his chest and coughed violently.

Every word he said pulled at the pain of each injury on his body, as if being lacerated by a thousand knives.

Bloodshot, Chu Yifeng kicked him fiercely, “You’ve thought this through quite well, haven’t you!”

This dying wretch had actually mentioned something he hadn’t thought of!

Chu Yifeng scooped up Chu Xi in one arm and dragged Rong Sheng out with the other. Xiao Muyan, who had been keeping watch in the corridor, saw him come out and immediately knelt down, “This subject fears failing to serve Your Highness adequately. If Your Highness has any orders, please command me!”

“`

Chu Yifeng’s lips curled into a sneer, “Heh!”

He had no time to squabble with such petty people now; he needed to find Su Yingxue and clarify the truth with a blood test!

As he gripped the woman by his side, Rong Sheng struggled fiercely, “Chu Yifeng, you madman, let me go! Let me go!”

She couldn’t go for a blood test, absolutely not!

She couldn’t let Chu Yifeng find out the child was hers!

Chu Yifeng pulled out a golden silkworm thread from his waistband and bound Rong Sheng’s waist with it, wrapping it around his own. He held her tightly and said fiercely, “If you wish to leave me now, one of us must die!”

He didn’t believe Rong Sheng had the ability to do so!

“Chu Yifeng!”

Rong Sheng’s eyes reddened with hatred. She despised him!

After their entanglement, Xiao Muyan lifted his hem and approached Xiao Qingyu, taunting, “Seventh Brother, oh, Seventh Brother, like brother, you too are a sentimental fool. So easily letting Doctor Rong go, your life won’t be so easily secured.”

Xiao Qingyu’s act was nothing short of spectacular, neither Rong Sheng nor Chu Yifeng would have the inclination to probe into the Xiao family’s affairs anymore; their own matters were a tangled mess already, requiring time to resolve.

Xiao Qingyu, of course, was not afraid to see through him; Xiao Muyan was inherently cunning, and Xiao Qingyu, with a clear and handsome face, wore a proud and cold sneer, “My life, feel free to try to take it! But you should know, if you even think of touching Doctor Rong again, Your Highness the Eighth Prince will be the first to kill all of you! I suppose Xiao Hui has the best appreciation of the Eighth Prince’s methods, doesn’t he?”

His words stabbed into Xiao Muyan’s heart like a knife.

Xiao Muyan delivered a slap to his face, “How dare you mention that!”

“Why shouldn’t I?” Xiao Qingyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed heartily, “If you have the guts, go against the Eighth Prince! He has troops, the Silver Moon Pavilion, and countless strange and formidable people in the Ghost Market. With him protecting Doctor Rong’s life, what can you do? You are nothing but trash that turns against your own family!”

A surge of rage rushed to Xiao Muyan’s head, and she roared uncontrollably, “He too will die one day! All those arrogant men in this world, they will all die! All of you deserve to die!”

Xiao Muyan kicked Xiao Qingyu ferociously, unable to control her urge to kill him.

However, it wasn’t long before the second steward was thrown in. Ah Hong led a group of retainers who barged in unexpectedly and announced before him, “Good day, young master Xiao. Our prince sent me with a message, Xiao Qingyu is the man he wants. Without his command, no one can kill him; if he dies in the Xiao family’s hands, our prince will use the corpses of everyone in the Xiao family as fertilizer for his flowers.”

After saying his piece, Ah Hong left as silently as he had arrived.

It took Xiao Muyan quite some time to regain her composure. She ground her teeth at Xiao Qingyu with venom, “Damnable!”

Xiao Qingyu himself was surprised; Chu Yifeng had actually saved his life. With that decree, Xiao Muyan wouldn’t dare kill him, and even if she tortured him, as long as he could endure it, he would surely not die!

Joy surged in his heart; he had saved both Rong Sheng and himself. With that…

He looked at Xiao Muyan and thought, this person, he will be defeated sooner or later!

Xiao Muyan, consumed with rage, commanded, “Drag him back to the dungeon!”

She had Xiao Qingyu dragged away and immediately returned to her own room, where she hastily opened a secret mechanism and entered through a hidden passage behind the bed. Kneeling in front of a concealed stone chamber door, she said, “Princess! Princess! Muyan has urgent news to report!”

She waited for a long time before the door to the stone chamber opened, and the woman inside, wearing unusual attire, opened her weary eyes, “What happened? You are so unsettled.”

She had collaborated with Xiao Muyan for many years and had never seen her so irrational.

“Chu Yifeng! That madman; he’s likely sensed the bodies buried in the villa. Tonight, Xiao Qingyu spilled nonsense, and he insists on protecting Xiao Qingyu’s life, otherwise, he’ll kill me!”

Xiao Muyan was no stranger to Chu Yifeng’s exploits; disregarding propriety, brutally murderous, fierce, and decisive—if she fell into his hands…
