The fairy's inner demons are amazing!

Chapter 3 Mother and Daughter

The second floor.

In the boudoir of the Third Madam.

Liu Siying, dressed in a bright red dress, with fair skin and a slightly flirtatious and frivolous look in her eyebrows, paced back and forth, her face looking quite unpleasant.

Seeing her daughter's red-rimmed eyes, Liu Siying paced around a few times, then said helplessly, "Why don't you believe your mother? In the Ye household, no one knows about this except you and me. How could a lowly servant know? And a horse groom at that. From your description, I've never even seen him. Where did he get this information?"

Ye Yin asked, "If not at the Ye residence, then what about outside the Ye residence?"

Liu Siying's eyes flashed, and she felt a little guilty.

Ye Yin sneered, angrily questioning, "Mother, don't forget, I didn't know at first either. I always thought I was a member of the Ye family. If you hadn't been so careless, and the letters with that person hadn't ended up in my hands, I would still be completely in the dark!"

She couldn't call that man "father." In her heart, even though she wasn't a member of the Ye family, she was still the sixth young lady of the Ye family!

She was unaware of this matter at first.

It was three years ago, when she had just turned fifteen, that someone sent a letter to her mother, Liu Siying.

Out of curiosity, she secretly broke the fire seal.

She should have kept quiet until she read the letter. After reading it, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. The letter only mentioned her briefly, but it was enough to prove that she was not of the Ye family bloodline.

She had always been puzzled as to why her cultivation talent couldn't keep up with her elder sister's. Among the younger generation of the Ye family, she could be considered a prodigy, but her elder sister, Ye Qingxian, had an even more astonishing talent. She possessed the innate talent of a top-tier cultivator and had already become a disciple of the Jixia Academy, the guardian sect of the Great Qi Dynasty, many years ago.

As a fellow member of the Ye family, he was far inferior to her.

After reading this letter, she finally understood that the reason she was like this was because she was fundamentally flawed!

She immediately confronted her mother with the letter, and sure enough, she learned from her mother the shocking truth that had shattered her worldview.

It turns out that before marrying into the Ye family, her mother had already slept with someone else.

At that time, in order to curry favor with the Ye family, the Liu family did not hesitate to send Liu Siying to the Ye residence, even as a concubine.

Ye Yin didn't know how her mother coaxed the Ye family afterwards, nor did she want to know.

Because of this, she didn't speak to her mother for a whole year.

Liu Siying's expression became even more awkward, but she still smiled apologetically and explained, "Oh dear, don't worry, Ayin. Since that incident, I've rarely corresponded with him. He also hopes that you can continue to maintain your status as the Sixth Miss, so that the Ye family's resources can continue to be supplied to you. Don't worry, this matter will never leak out. From your description, I think it was probably just a fabricated excuse made up by that servant who saw you were angry and worried about being implicated. Don't believe it!"

Liu Siying spoke nervously, but she was still on guard.

There's no smoke without fire.

Although she said this, it was just to comfort Ayin. She knew in her heart that the little servant probably found out about this deadly matter from somewhere.

We need to find a way to solve this.

Ye Yin frowned and paused, somewhat inclined to believe her mother's words.

Or rather, she instinctively leans towards this explanation. Not wanting others to know about her background has become her inner demon and delusion. Now that there is a "reasonable" explanation, even if it is extremely far-fetched, she is willing to believe it as long as it makes sense.

This is due to the human nature of seeking advantage and avoiding harm.

"Whether it's true or not, this matter is still a threat. Give me the information about that servant, and I'll handle it!"

"What do you plan to do?" Ye Yin asked.

Liu Siying frowned, deep in thought, and said, "If we can't say anything, then we can only make sure he can never speak again!"

A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

What's killing a servant if it's for my daughter's future?

Ye Yin frowned and said in a deep voice, "If killing him could solve the problem, I would definitely tear him to pieces!"

"What if this secret isn't just known to him? Since he dared to mention it to my face, he must have a backup plan. Can we take the gamble?"

"He has nothing to lose, he's fearless, he has the confidence to burn his bridges. What about us?"

"The dignified master of Divine Sword Manor, a powerful figure who has reached the Condensation Realm and is about to enter the Ninth Realm of Opening Aperture, has actually been cuckolded for eighteen years and has even raised someone else's daughter for eighteen years. What do you think will happen to my daughter and me, to your adulterer, and to the Liu family of Xiangshui if this news gets out?"

Ye Yin's tone was filled with fear.

This outcome left Liu Siying pale as a ghost. She slumped listlessly into a chair, her eyes vacant, muttering, "So...so we just let something as lowly as an ant control us like this?"

Ye Yin sighed and shook her head helplessly.

I thought I could get a good idea from my mother.

It seems the only option now is to try and probe that little servant.

If he's the only one who knows, then let him never speak again.

A murderous glint flashed in Ye Yin's eyes.

Liu Siying remained silent for a moment, then suddenly got up and went to the bedside. She opened a wooden cabinet and began rummaging through it. After a while, she took out a wooden box and came to Ye Yin.

"This is what your mother has saved up over the years. I originally planned to give it to you when you made a crucial breakthrough, but now that crucial moment has arrived. So... I'll give it all to him, but we need to sign a written contract as proof, otherwise we..."

She couldn't continue speaking. What good would it do to sign a written contract?

He can live off this secret for the rest of his life!

Unless one day the Ye family ceases to exist!

But how could the Divine Sword Manor, so powerful, possibly be in danger of destruction?

But what is the significance of this secret if the Divine Sword Manor is destroyed?

Without the skin, where will the hair attach? Without the Divine Sword Manor, A-Yin would lose her cultivation resources and the meaning of guarding the secret would be lost.

Ye Yin opened the wooden box and glanced at it, a hint of longing flashing in her eyes, but then she closed it again with a sense of desolation.

The money here is enough for that little servant to establish a family business that can be passed down for generations!

One hour later.

The mother and daughter, who had completely regained their composure and had obtained all the information on horse-feeding servants, walked out of Feixue Tower together.

At Ye Yin's signal, Liu Siying walked ahead and arrived at the reception room. The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes. Ye Yin took a deep breath, took out her key, unlocked the door, but did not push it open.

She couldn't face it!

Since she was fifteen, this matter had haunted her and become her nightmare.

Now, her inner demons are in the hands of others, as if her life is being held in someone else's grasp, a feeling that suffocates her.

It was called a reception room, but it had never actually been used. After all, the mother and daughter rarely had guests, and the room was rarely cleaned.

Creak~

At the critical moment, Liu Siying remained calm and composed, and simply pushed open the single-page door with a flick of her sleeve.

As soon as the door opened, both mother and daughter frowned.

A pungent smell of horse manure mingled with the musty odor of rotting wood in the room.

As far as the eye can see.

The young servant was lounging casually on the couch, his eyes sparkling with life, a hint of amusement and mockery playing on his lips. He didn't act like a servant at all; instead, he resembled a brothel owner, his gaze both greedy and wary as he looked at himself and his daughter with a wanton and frivolous look.

For a moment, the mother and daughter even felt a swaying sensation as if they had become 'goods'.

"cough……"

Liu Siying covered her mouth with her sleeve and coughed lightly. Her eyes sparkled as she gracefully stepped in and sat down at the round table near the door.

Ye Yin sat beside her, her expression cold, but her eyes held a hint of panic as she stared intently at Ning Xiuyang.

"Little...little hero, I heard from A-Yin that you mentioned some letter this morning? Could you show it to me?"

After a long silence, Liu Siying finally broke the silence. She wanted to call him "little servant" without thinking, but she changed her words and her tone softened unconsciously.

With such leverage, how can one possibly stand up for oneself?
