Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 588: Chapter 457: The Mother-in-law Approves the Prospective Son-in-law, the Father-in-law Gets Jealous

Ye Lingyue sneered sarcastically.

”Regardless, the incident occurred at Marquis Yue’s Mansion. Moreover, the perpetrator is Yue Marquis’s biological father, Hong Fang. Why he was here, I hope Yue Marquis can explain,” Cong Lv frowned after hearing Xue Pianran’s words; he hadn’t expected Xue Pianran to be so unreasonable.

But Princess Qing Bi has already received her due punishment, and now, the priority is finding the real murderer. Otherwise, Princess Qing Bi’s ruined reputation might destroy the alliance between the two nations.

”Guard Cong asked rightly, I also want to know why one who was about to be executed could suddenly infiltrate my mansion,” Ye Lingyue and Hong Fang were arch-enemies, and everyone in Daxia knew that it was impossible for Hong Fang to defend Ye Lingyue.

”It’s a pity, a pity that the culprit is already dead,” Xue Pianran sighed with apparent regret, yet she was secretly delighted.

Hong Fang had been hacked into mincemeat by Princess Qing Bi.

This way, even if Ye Lingyue wanted to clear her name, there was no evidence from the dead.

”That might not be the case, sometimes, the dead can be more honest than the living,” Ye Lingyue smiled.

Both Xue Pianran and Qing Bi were taken aback, not understanding the meaning behind Ye Lingyue’s words.

Ye Lingyue then walked towards Hong Fang’s corpse.

He had been messily slaughtered by Princess Qing Bi; his once somewhat handsome face was now a bloody blur.

Onlookers frowned at the sight.

Just as Ye Lingyue was about to bend down, someone preempted her.

”Dirty, let me do it.” Feng Xun grabbed her hand, gently pulled, and Ye Lingyue retreated behind him.

”Prince? Be careful not to stain your hands,” Sword Slave was anxious and moved forward, but Feng Xun stopped him with a look.

Feng Xun bent down, inspected carefully, and found an elixir pill in the tattered clothes of Hong Fang.

It was an elixir not fully digested yet, still smeared with blood.

Feng Xun’s jade-like fingers were stained with contaminated blood.

Yet, he carefully cleaned it off and handed it to Ye Lingyue.

Xue Pianran, watching from the side, was shocked; Feng Xun was actually willing to do this for that woman...

Feng Xun, who always loved cleanliness, even changed his years-long habits not to let Ye Lingyue touch such filthy things.

Ye Lingyue met Feng Xun’s eyes, feeling an unusual emotion rapidly growing inside her.

This man, truly understood her.

It seemed that he could immediately grasp each of her words and actions.

”The security is tight in the mansion today; generally, no one could sneak in. Hong Fang, a death row prisoner, managed it probably because of this elixir. This pill, called the Jade Toad Pill, is a kind that can alter one’s appearance.” Ye Lingyue briefly examined it with Cauldron Breath and identified the type of the pill.

”Yue Marquis, what can this pill prove? Although Hong Fang has always been at odds with you, he is ultimately your father. Who can guarantee that this pill wasn’t given by you?” Cong Lv challenged.

”Oh? You’re saying I refined this pill? Guard Cong, you are not an Alchemist, so perhaps you’re unaware of certain rules. Every pill, especially a sixth-grade pill like the Jade Toad Pill, after being refined, will be marked with a special stamp, to prevent any issues when it’s consumed later. Heavenly Maiden, am I right?” Ye Lingyue glanced at Xue Pianran.

Xue Pianran didn’t know Ye Lingyue’s intentions; she just subconsciously nodded her head.

In Qing Province Continent, it is customary to leave a mark in elixir pills above the sixth grade.

”Let’s see if this elixir pill was refined by me.” Ye Lingyue said, applying a bit of force in her hand, and the elixir pill cracked open.

When the elixir cracked, the word ”Dan Palace” vividly appeared inside.

Seeing the word ”Dan Palace,” everyone’s expression changed.

The Dan Palace, across the entire mainland, only the Beiqing Pill Palace dared to leave the mark ”Dan Palace” in elixir pills.

Xue Pianran was even more shocked, her eyes widening; she couldn’t imagine that this Jade Toad Pill came from the Dan Palace.

Even Princess Qing Bi was stunned like a wooden chicken.

”Xue Pianran, is it you! Did you give him the Jade Toad Pill to come and kill Ye Lingyue? You’ve doomed me!” Princess Qing Bi grabbed Xue Pianran.

Among those present, only Xue Pianran was from the Dan Palace, and she had arrived in Beiqing just a few days ago. During these days, Hong Fang had obtained the Jade Toad Pill and escaped from the Heavenly Prison, which inevitably raised suspicions.

Besides, Xue Pianran liked Feng Xun, who in turn liked Ye Lingyue. Xue Pianran indeed had a motive to frame Ye Lingyue.

Only she, being a Heavenly Maiden, could casually give away such a precious elixir as the Jade Toad Pill.

A member of the Dan Palace provided Hong Fang with the Jade Toad Pill, and Hong Fang had insulted Princess Qing Bi. The entire incident suddenly became very confusing.

”Guard Cong, I think you owe me an explanation. Why does Daxia’s death row prisoner have an elixir from the Dan Palace? If this matter is not clarified, there is no possibility of alliance between Daxia and Beiqing.” Xiahou Qi stared at the elixir, furious.

”Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This matter, Guard Cong will surely investigate thoroughly. Come, take the princess back.” Guard Cong, with a headache, ordered people to escort the crying Princess Qing Bi away regardless.

Xue Pianran also looked utterly dismayed and cast a fierce glance at Ye Lingyue when she saw her again.

Feng Xun, being from Beiqing, consoled Ye Lingyue with a few words before leaving first with Sword Slave.

The wedding banquet at the Ye Residence ended on an unhappy note due to this sudden incident.

Late at night, after all the guests had departed, Yun Sheng, who had been observing the drama from a corner of the roof of the Ye Residence, showed a face full of interest.

”Fox Ye, this move of yours is really cunning. Killing two birds with one stone, ruining two at once.” Yun Sheng’s eyes sparkled, and his delicate little face was filled with excitement.

”Thanks to my wife’s excellent guidance.” Ye Beiming, squinting his fox-like eyes, hugged his delicate wife, appreciating her vivid expression.

His beloved wife, even though she was already a mother, would occasionally show a girlish demeanor, and God knows how he adored this side of her.

He was indeed proud of his daughter’s performance just now.

He had merely hidden the Jade Toad Pill on Hong Fang, and his daughter had seized the opportunity to turn the tables using the elixir.

Truly like father like daughter, his daughter was indeed clever.

”By the way, was that man who stood in front of Yue’er the one you mentioned?” Yun Sheng blinked, her face full of curiosity.

”Mhm, it’s that young man.” Ye Beiming hugged his wife, rubbing his face against her neck.

”Not bad at all, just by that look, he seems a suitable son-in-law.” Yun Sheng spoke in the tone of a mother-in-law sizing up a prospective son-in-law, her face filled with satisfaction.
