Why did she have to face all this?
Madam Yu was rendered speechless by her questions.
Back then, when Xuanyuan Ce was seriously ill, Empress Dowager Zhou said that if she could not leave him with a son or a daughter, she would have to die with him.
She thought that Xuanyuan Ce would really not wake up, so she took the risk to look for Jiang Tao.
Who would have thought that Xuanyuan Ce would miraculously wake up as soon as she conceived Xuanyuan Ye? He did not even say anything after knowing that she had given birth to a daughter.
She thought that he didn’t know anything and that he had misunderstood like everyone else.
The sound of the door opening interrupted her thoughts. The mother and daughter looked at the door at the same time.
Two prison guards walked in and escorted Madam Yu away without a word.
Xuanyuan Ye reacted and quickly ran over to grab one of the prison guards. She said in a panic, “When can I get out? Where’s my grandmother? Does
Grandmother know that I’m here? Did she say when she would let me out?”
The prison officer pushed her away impolitely.
Xuanyuan Ye fell to the ground. Madam Yu’s heart ached, but she was restrained by the prison guards and could not do anything.
The door was closed again. Xuanyuan Ye was anxious. She leaned against the vent and roared, “Where are you bringing my mother? Come back!”
No one paid attention to her.
The footsteps were getting further and further away, and the surroundings fell into dead silence again. Xuanyuan Ye curled up into a ball in panic and muttered, “It’s that b*tch’s fault.”
If that mother and daughter did not appear, her father would at most continue to ignore her and her mother like before.
Why would she investigate what her mother had done just to make room for the mother and daughter?
If she didn’t investigate, no one would know her background.
Xuanyuan Ye believed that she had found the culprit behind everything. Her scarlet eyes slowly filled with hatred.
On the other side, the prison guard brought Madam Yu into an interrogation room. When she saw the person inside, her eyes widened in disbelief. “How is this possible?”
How could he wake up from such a serious injury?
Xuanyuan Ce sat by the window, half of his body hidden in the darkness. He “looked” at Madam Yu coldly and knocked on the table. Chu Feng, who was standing at the side, understood. He took out a stack of letters and threw them in front of Madam Yu.
“It’s the evidence you wanted,” Xuanyuan Ce said.
Madam Yu was stunned. Her gaze moved down and she slowly squatted down. She picked up the letter and read it carefully under the dim yellow light of the interrogation room.
With every page she read, her expression changed. When she reached the end, she suddenly tore the letter apart crazily.
“It wasn’t me. I didn’t do this.”
“I admit that Ye’er isn’t your daughter, but we agreed to live separate lives after marriage. You can’t convict me of this.”
“It was because of me that you brothers could easily take down the aristocratic families. You promised to protect me. You can’t kick someone to the curb when they’ve outlived their usefulness.”
She shook her head in panic and kept repeating what had happened back then.
“Yes, I promised you. But since we have nothing to do with each other, what makes you think you can attack my Ah Luo?”
If not for the fact that he had asked someone to investigate this time, Xuanyuan Ce would not have expected that Madam Yu had already gotten involved with the people from the Valley of Heavenly Secrets while she was still in her pavilion.
“I didn’t do it. It wasn’t me.”
Xuanyuan Ce “looked” at her coldly and said unhurriedly, “Back then, Si Yun learned in advance that my brother had the intention to let me marry you and reached a consensus with you. They tricked Ah Luo back, and you were in charge of persuading me to marry you.”
Unexpectedly, Ah Luo realized that she was pregnant and returned to Phoenix City midway. It happened to be on the day of their wedding.
“You were worried that the two of us would resolve the misunderstanding, so you intercepted Ah Luo’s letter and asked your substitute to assassinate her. Your goal was actually not to kill her, but to make her give up on me.”
“That’s not right. It’s not that you don’t want to kill her, but Si Yun didn’t want you to kill her because he wanted to bring Ah Luo back to the Valley of Heavenly Secrets to marry him.”
“But you never expected that the Valley of Heavenly Secrets and the Yu family would still let her escape.”
At this point, Xuanyuan Ce’s eyes turned red.
At that time, Ah Luo was pregnant. First, she experienced his betrayal, then she was hunted down by the two sides. Xuanyuan Ce did not dare to imagine what she had experienced on the way from the Xuanyuan Kingdom to Great Xia.
Just thinking about it made his heart ache. He wished he could kill himself, who believed in Madam Yu.
No wonder the old monk said that she was covered in blood when she saw Ah Luo.
Xuanyuan Ce clenched his trembling hands and took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart. He continued, “And this time, the people of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets told you that I found my daughter.”
He knew everything!
Knowing everything meant that he would definitely not let her off. Madam Yu sat on the ground and muttered, “I just wanted you to marry me..”
