Chapter 597: Not Even Others Can Have It!

t I searched for you for a whole day, almost turning the entire capital upside down You actually dared to drink with another man! You deserve to be punished!"He was really out of options, so he though..."You truly resemble her, even down to your tone of voice and gaze. However, if she had half your skill back then, perhaps your mother and daughter wouldn't be separated." Wen Shiyun looked at Ge with a peculiar glint in her eyes.

"Get to the point!" Xiao Yuge had clearly lost her patience. She had plenty of time to investigate her mother's affairs, but she was making Wen Shiyun speak now simply to give her a reason not to die at her hands.

"Your mother was brought here personally by a man..."

"Who is that man" Xiao Yuge interrupted him.

Wen Shiyun shook her head. "At the time, I was only eight or nine years old, and I don't remember very clearly. All I remember is that he had white hair and wore a very frightening mask!"

"A head of white hair Put on a mask, and you're an old man"

"No. Listening to his voice, he should be around the same age as my father." Wen Shiyun's expression didn't look like she was lying.

"He's your backer in Beijing" Xiao Yu Ge seized the key point.

溫時韻 didn't admit nor deny: "All I know is that he was my father's savior, and my father obeyed him in everything. When your mother arrived, she was already pregnant with you, so she stayed in this room and didn't go out. My father personally delivered her meals every day. Two months after your mother arrived, my mother committed suicide..."

"What do you want to say" Xiao Yuge narrowed her beautiful eyes.

“You should have heard, men in Ruoshui City can only marry one woman in their lifetime. My father, as the city lord, should lead by example. However, he fell for your pregnant mother. Indeed, a beauty like you, any man would be captivated. I've hated my father for over ten years, and now, I seem to understand how he felt back then.” Wen Shiyun’s gaze towards Xiao Yuge was no longer pure, all the restraint from their first meeting was stripped away, becoming so blatant.

"Just a skin, how superficial!" Xiao Yuge scoffed.

"Just a mere skin" Wen Shiyin chuckled, lowering her head. "But it was your mother's beauty, as enchanting as an immortal, that captivated my father, driving him mad. Even though your mother was carrying another man's child, he willingly broke with tradition, choosing to divorce his wife rather than let her go. He forced my mother to death." She paused. "In the end, your mother still ran away in secret..."

"So, it was your father's love turned to hatred, who sent people to assassinate my mother" Xiao Yuge narrowed her cold eyes, her gaze became cruel and ruthless, with a piercing edge that made one shiver.

“Although I hate my father, I won't blame him for what happened. It wasn't him who sent people after your mother; it was that white-haired man. Once, I overheard a conversation between my father and that white-haired man. Apparently, the man saved your mother entirely because of the child you were in her womb. He said you were some kind of lucky girl, and he wanted to borrow your luck. He also mentioned something about using celestial and fateful influences... It's been too long, I don't remember clearly. All I recall is that when I was eavesdropping, your mother overheard it too. I think that's the real reason she ran away.”

"Heavenly Calamity Fate Calamity" Xiao Yuge became even more confused. Although she wasn't sure if that person was her biological mother, for now, she would just assume it was. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Do you know the man's name"

Wen Shiyun shook her head. "I don't know, because every time, my father called him a benefactor, and every time he came, he only met with my father. We never even got to see his face."

"Then what's my mother's name" Although Xiao Yuge had a vague idea in her heart, she still wanted to hear it from someone else.

"I don't know either, I only heard my father call her Miss Lan. Father never allowed anyone to discuss her matters in the manor, so few people knew about her. It was out of curiosity that I snuck into this room and found out there was also a maid named Ye beside her."

"Lan girl Yezi" Could it really be her

“That was the first and last time I saw your mother. She was truly beautiful, breathtakingly so, just like you are now.” Wen Shiyun smiled faintly: “No wonder even His Royal Highness is so captivated by you. I imagine every man who sees you must want to claim you as his own.”

"Are you finished" Xiao Yuge said coldly, she had no mood to listen to his nonsense.

When she spoke, her voice was soft and melodic. Yet, she continued to speak without regard for his words: “Miss Xiao, we met even when you were in your mother’s womb. Our encounter predates all others. It's a pity that you didn't see me then. A beauty like you is irresistible to anyone. Most likely, they want to possess you entirely or perhaps, since I can't have you, no one else should either!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand suddenly jerked to the side. Xiao Yuge hadn't reacted yet when the chair was already flipped over. Her scream disappeared under the floorboards.

Originally, every chair here is a mechanism!

Gazing at the disappearing melody, he muttered to himself, "Your mother made me an orphan. Now you've come to ruin everything I have. I should hate you, but you're so beautiful, so beautiful that just one look makes me want to possess you. I want to hate, but I can't bring myself to do it. Then let's gamble. If you survive, it's your life. If you don't, then we'll be buried together in this Wenjiazhuang." Finished speaking, he forcefully tore the switch of the mechanism.

"Song!"

When Qiansishen and Hè Míng rushed in after hearing the scream, Xiao Yuge was already gone from the room.

"Where did you hide the song Tell me quickly!" Qian Sichen's eyes flushed red in an instant, and he pulled Wen Shiyun up from her chair.

When the time came, Wen Shiyin remained surprisingly calm. She made no struggle nor resistance, dropping the grappling hook from her hand: "Your Highness, this entire secret chamber is filled with levers, and each lever leads to a different location. I have no idea where Miss Xiao is right now."

"Little junior sister!" He Crane picked up the mechanism rope on the ground, his heart sinking.

"You dare to harm Ge'er This palace will kill you now!" Qian Sichin had already lost her rationality.

"Your Highness!" He really was afraid he would lose his mind and actually kill Wen Shiyin. After all, only Wen Shiyin knew where Ge'er was now. He had promised someone solemnly that he would protect Ge'er well, but now he had lost her! His life would be forfeit!

"Your Highness, everyone has arrived!" At this time, Chu Tianqi also happened to arrive there with the government officials.

"Greetings to Your Highness, Prince! I, Fan Si, the magistrate of Bo Shui, pay my respects!"

"Speak up!" Qian Sichin waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"ook and didn't have much to talk about, so she got up and said goodbye: "There's nothing else. I just came to see the little girl's injury. Since the little girl is fine, I won't bother you." 。"Master...
