Chapter 340: Chapter 197: Handover to the Authorities! A Gift from the Great Tang Prison! (Seeking Monthly Subscription)

In the council hall.

Yuchi sat in the main seat, with Wei Zhe beside him.

In front of the Wei Family brothers was a young and handsome couple, looking extremely nervous, especially after seeing Yuchi in person, their faces even showed some fear.

Is he the legendary Yuchi? He looks so young, but why does he seem so angry right now? Is he always like this?

Of course.

It’s not like Yuchi has a pleasant attitude about this.

He assumed for now that everything the couple previously said to his elder brother was true, but even if it was true, it still left him speechless.

As the biological parents of little Ximo, where were you all this time? Did you directly send little Ximo to the brothel? Luckily, the brothel had some conscience, and his second brother still had some decency, otherwise, little Ximo would never have reached the Wei Family.

If it were any other place, then her current status and identity couldn’t be guaranteed, and there’s a high probability she’d fall into despair, so what kind of parents are you? When little Ximo needed you, you weren’t there, but now when she doesn’t need you, you show up?

What is this?

Even if they temporarily abandoned little Ximo, had they sent her to the officials, and if the officials sent little Ximo to the Wei Family, Yuchi wouldn’t have said anything and might even have expressed concern about the difficulties they faced and provided some positive assistance.

Now, that might not be the case.

Wei Zhe glanced at his third brother and, upon receiving Yuchi’s nod, directly raised the first question and asked:

”The two of you, you have somewhat explained your situation, saying you encountered some troublesome matters which were unsolvable, so you sent little Ximo to the brothel in Xufu Town, hoping that someone there might help you?”

The man cautiously glanced at the silent Yuchi.

In the eyes of a few, Yuchi was considered quite approachable, almost like the honest-to-goodness Yuchi, but to others, especially those unfamiliar with him, Yuchi did not have a reputation a benevolent person earns; rather, he felt more like the head of a mountain bandit gang!

Especially now, with Yuchi dressed in black brocade, sitting on the grand master’s chair.

With his hands pressing on the chair’s arms, his brow furrowed calmly, with very little visible in his black pupils, his face, when stern, was never considered kind, and in their eyes, he appeared rather sinister, as if one wrong word from them would mean their little lives were forfeit.

”But it should be fine...”

”We had discussed thoroughly before coming; they won’t catch us with any weaknesses.”

The man forced himself to remain calm, though his teeth still chattered as he spoke. When he saw some ”mercy” on Yuchi’s face, he felt slightly relieved.

He breathed lightly and slowly said:

”Yes, at that time, we were both down on our luck in Xufu Town, and the baby couldn’t even have a meal, so we had no choice but to temporarily send the baby away.”

After finishing, the man felt there was no flaw in what he said, and began to feel more at ease, becoming less afraid of Yuchi.

”That’s possible, but why didn’t you send her to the officials and went to the brothel instead?” Wei Zhe’s question followed right after the man finished speaking.

Wei Zhe asked, filled with frustration, for even a gentle scholar could be terrifying when angered.

”Be-because...”

”Because it was already quite late, the officials’ offices were already closed, and we really had no choice, so we brought the baby to the brothel. Initially, we were very reluctant, and couldn’t bear to part with our child, but seeing the kind eyes of the brothel women, we thought they might really help our baby.”

”And we needed to return to our hometown overnight. After handing the baby over to the brothel women, we left Xufu Town overnight, believing they would send the baby to the officials.”

By now, the sky was gradually darkening, and the lights in the council hall were lit. The man stealthily glanced at Yuchi as he spoke this, noticing that under the firelight, Yuchi’s face appeared rather frightening.

But it should be fine, right...?

It should...

Be fine, right.

Yet he felt there was no issue with what he had said.

The officials’ offices close at night, which is understandable; they aren’t open twenty-four hours a day. At night in Xufu Town, the one place where business is legally allowed and easy to find is, indeed, the brothel.

After listening, Wei Zhe still appeared completely skeptical, but after hearing the man’s explanation, he suddenly didn’t know how to question further.

Though the explanation seemed tenuous, the glistening tears in the man’s eyes as he spoke made it hard to call it a lie. Could it be that the two brothers were overthinking it, and this truly was the situation? Though still perplexing, it did seem to make some rationale.
