Han Yao's mind went blank, and he froze on the spot. He couldn't help but blurt out: "You, you mean she and the child are still alive?!"
His tone was anxious and surprised, without any joy, but more of shock.
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows: "Yeah, why, Mr. Han is unhappy?"
Han Yao retorted without thinking: "This matter has nothing to do with me, why should I be happy or unhappy!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that his reaction seemed a bit intense, and adjusted his expression: "Miss Ye Er, please don't misunderstand me, I really don't know whose child hers is!"
The curtain was suddenly opened, and Su Pei'er, with a pale face, looked at Han Yao with red eyes: "Han Lang, how can you say such a thing? It's okay that you hate me, but this child - how can you not acknowledge her?"
"If it's not mine, why should I acknowledge it?!" Han Yao frowned, his face showing disdain and disgust. "You, a cheap bastard born in a brothel, who knows whose child this is!"
The last bit of light in Su Pei'er's eyes completely disappeared.
She was shaking all over and seemed like she was going to faint any second.
The little maid supported her with a worried look on her face: "Miss, let's go back first. Miss Ye Er just told you not to get cold in the wind now--"
Su Pei'er pried her hands apart little by little and gave Han Yao a sad smile.
"Since Han Lang refuses to acknowledge us as mother and son, I will die to clear my name!"
Having said that, she pushed the maid aside, took a few quick steps to the bow of the boat, and pretended to jump into the lake!
There were cries of surprise from the crowd.
Han Yao was also stunned. He never expected that Su Pei'er, who was always obedient and weak, would be so strong-willed and willing to die to show her determination!
Just when Su Pei'er was about to jump down, Ye Chutang threw something out and it rolled to Su Pei'er's feet.
Su Pei'er felt her feet slip and her body fell backwards uncontrollably, hitting the maid who had just arrived.
The little maid held her tightly, her heart almost jumping out of her chest with fear. She cried out in a sobbing voice, "Miss, you can't let it go! If you are - Miss? Miss!"
The little maid hurriedly raised her head and looked at Ye Chutang for help: "Second Miss Ye! Please come and have a look! Our girl has fainted!"
At this moment, the only person she could think of who could save their girl was Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang walked over and saw that Su Pei'er's eyes were closed and her lips were bloodless. He pulled her wrist and felt her pulse.
"Her blood and qi attacked her heart, and she was too sad, which led to convulsions. We need to take her back as soon as possible to have a good rest."
The little maid was panicked: "Then, then we will restore the spring breeze right away--"
"Mr. Han." Ye Chutang turned around, his expression gentle and concerned, "I remember your mansion is not too far from here, take Miss Su back quickly."
Han Yao's eyes widened instantly: "W-what!?"
He was allowed to openly bring a pregnant prostitute back home! ?
His reputation, the reputation of the Han family! Do you want more? ?
Ye Chutang walked to the side, picked up the silver ingot he had just thrown, and turned back to urge:
"Time is urgent, so please hurry up, Mr. Han. Also, since Mr. Han specially invited me to go boating, I will give you a 50% discount on the consultation fee this time, 500 taels, which will be used as the payment for today's tea."
…
The Princess's Mansion.
The sun sets in the west and the sky gradually darkens.
A slender figure was walking slowly from the yard.
Xiaowu seemed to realize something and immediately sat up straight and looked over.
The maid leading the way said with a smile: "Princess, Doctor Ye is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wu had already spread out his short legs, ran over, and threw himself directly into Ye Chutang's arms.
Ye Chutang picked her up and said, "Sister, you are late. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Xiaowu shook his head and smiled at her again.
——She knew that her elder sister would definitely come to pick her up, so it didn’t matter how long she waited!
The princess smiled when she saw her and asked, "Did you have a good time on your outing today?"
Ye Chutang thought about it and nodded: "The scenery is pleasant and lively, but I didn't have time to appreciate it carefully. Next time I have a chance, I want to take Xiaowu and the others to see it together."
The eldest princess was a little puzzled. Ye Chutang had been there for quite a long time, so how could she say that she didn't have a good time enjoying the trip?
"By the way, didn't you say you wanted to enjoy the moon? Why are you back at this time?"
Ye Chutang paused and said, "Something unexpected happened, so everyone left early."
The eldest princess became interested: "Oh?"
…
Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
Yun Cheng stood with his hands hanging down and recounted in detail everything that had happened in Feiyue Lake that day.
"...Han Yao has already brought Su Pei'er back to the Han family. Han Tong is also here. I guess there will be a lot of commotion over there tonight."
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "He has been suspended from work these days, so he has time to deal with these things. But, did Han Yao agree to take him back just like that?"
Speaking of this, Yun Cheng couldn't help but want to laugh.
"You don't know that Feiyue Lake was packed with tourists at the time, and everyone was watching. It was not uncommon for an abandoned woman to find a man and be openly abandoned by him, not to mention that the woman was from a brothel, so few people cared about her. But Su Pei'er played the pipa very well, and her sad and tender song on the lake attracted a lot of attention. Later, she jumped into the lake in public, preferring to die in exchange for her innocence. Han Yao naturally couldn't resist such a fierce woman."
If this matter had happened quietly, Han Yao could have easily saved himself, but who knew that Su Pei'er would make such a big fuss.
"If Han Yao still ignores it in front of so many people, I don't know how he will be scolded in the future. After all, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. He can treat Su Pei'er badly, but he can't kill his own child with his own hands."
Yun Cheng still feels happy when he thinks of that scene.
"Didn't you see how ugly his face was when Miss Ye Er urged him to pay the consultation fee?"
He had only heard Lian Zhou mention it a few times before, but when he met him today he realized that Doctor Ye was even more unexpected than he had imagined!
In and out, he saved the lives of Su Pei'er and her son. With just a few simple words, he put Han Yao in the spotlight, forcing him to be in a dilemma. He had to bring the people back and bear the infamy.
Finally, he did not forget to ask for the medical fee.
This is really...
Shen Yanchuan took a sip of tea, paused when he heard the words, and raised his eyebrows.
So, when she asked him for the medical fee, she was quite... gentle?
"She deserves the money for curing illnesses and saving lives. What's more, she has helped the Han family so much."
Chen Yanchuan put down the teacup and spoke in a faint tone.
"As long as Zhao Hanguang is found to have problems, the person with the greatest hope of taking over is Han Tong."
"How can we cause a scandal at this juncture? Even if we have to swallow our anger, I'm sure Lord Han will be happy."
