On the way back to the city, Zhong Ran explained the situation with the castle.
Apparently, Ye Ling’s ancestors were from seven different countries. As a result, she was one-eighth Indian. However, she did not have a good life. She was born in Country R and had a bit of servility. To this day, Country R still practiced slavery, and Ye Ling’s maternal grandmother was a slave. Ye Ling’s mother grew up in Country R. When she turned fifteen, all her grandparents passed away, and she had a large inheritance unexpectedly. As such, she was able to obtain this castle.
Ye Ling’s mother was called Aventura. She grew up in an abusive environment and was mentally unsound. When she was feeling normal, she would be as quiet and beautiful as a flower. She was really elegant. Whenever she got crazy, it was really depressing. After she received a huge inheritance, the other members of her family were displeased. To deal with them, the fifteen-year-old girl set all of them on fire and covered up the incident by claiming that a fire broke out instead. All of them were burned cleanly. Back then, she was almost charged, but she donated half of her inheritance to the City of Gold and attained freedom.
She was a legendary lady who was perverse.
She was also really terrifying.
“Is Master’s illness inherited from his mother?”
“No. Master’s illness is not inherited. A part of it is because of the Madam, and a part of it is caused by… the Ye Family.” Zhong Ran began bringing up stories from the past. “Back then, Madam met Master Ye while she was traveling. Master Ye fell in love with her at first sight. She was a beauty, and she was talented. She always seemed melancholic. Many young nobles would kiss her shoestrings. Master Ye was deeply captivated by her, and he was bent on her being his wife. When the owner of the European Ye Family was informed of Master Ye’s intentions, the owner sent someone to investigate and gather information about her. They found out that she was not only mentally ill, but she was also a murderer. Such a woman could not be allowed to enter the Ye Family as the wife of the eldest son. He sent the news back to the Ye Residence. The Ye Old Master and the Ye Old Lady greatly disapproved of them, and they quickly arranged a marriage for Ye Ling’s father with another person. This woman is also the birth mother of Second and Third Master. After Madam knew about it, she was very angry. Her state was the same as that of Master’s. Once she was furious, her mood would keep on getting worse until she reaches a peak. Then, her illness would relapse. It was the first time Ye Ling’s father had seen his wife’s illness, and that frightened him. He couldn’t believe that the person he loved had turned out to be such a mad and mentally ill woman.
“Master Ye was not a loyal person who had long-lasting relationships. He loved many, yet he was weak. After knowing of Madam’s illness, he took care of her for a long time. Then, he brought her to City A to show Ye Old Lady that he did not despise her. He expressed his intention to marry her, but Old Master was really witty. He did something and made Madam’s illness intensify. She exploded in the Ye Residence and killed a close relative of the Ye Family. Then, Master Ye was really badly frightened, and he distanced himself from Madam.
“Madam was a person who had a strong determination and will. After Master Ye distanced himself away from her, she did not give up. She insisted on wanting to fix their relationship. However, she was constantly having relapses, and she ended up losing her last bit of hope for them to patch up. After Master Ye got irritated, he married someone else and caused Madam to go on a killing spree at his wedding. Then, people noticed that she was pregnant… with Master.
“After Madam gave birth to our current Master, she was placed under house arrest by Old Master. He thought of all sorts of ways to have her give birth to Master. As Madam had a lot of inheritance and some of them were associated with the European Ye Family, Old Master tried to please the European Ye Family so that they could keep Master. During that period of time, Madam’s mental illness kept intensifying and worsening. Luther went around several times before finally finding the place that Madam was kept in. He then saved her and got her out of that place.”
