In the yard, a woman was beating a child: "You jinx, you killed your own mother, and you might kill me someday too.

You do nothing all day long and just wait for food. Do you really think you are the young master of the Gu family?

The master has driven you to the farm and ignored you for five years. It is obvious that he hates you to the extreme. What is the point of you still living? A jinx like you deserves to die!"

The woman seemed to be unsatisfied, so she picked up the stick next to her and started beating him.

The child allowed the woman to beat and scold him without fighting back or saying a word. His whole body curled up into a ball like a wounded animal, looking very pitiful.

Ye Xingchen remembered that in the storybook, it was said that the unlucky child of the Gu family was sent to the farm when he was young, and was abused and tortured by the servants. His own father ignored him, and he finally died on an autumn night.

Judging from the time, it should be soon.

However, the Gu family had no idea that this child was not doomed to fail. It was all because the Shangshu's wife was jealous of the concubine being favored, so she deliberately asked the Taoist priest to spread rumors in order to send the child away so that the child could not compete with Gu Beimo for the family property.

As for his mother's difficult labor, it was not because of the child, but because of something the Shangshu's wife did.

But after all, it was someone else's life and death, Ye Xingchen could not reveal the secret, so when she was at Gu's house, she didn't say much.

"You little bastard, you're a burden while you're alive. If you die I won't care about you anymore, you're a waste of food." The woman cursed even more viciously.

The child's face was tense and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, just endured it silently.

Ye Xingchen's face turned cold: "Stop!" and walked in.

The woman in the yard was startled and subconsciously looked towards the door. She was a little surprised to see a very beautiful woman.

"No matter what he says, he is still Minister Gu's son. What qualifications do you have to hit him?" Ye Xingchen asked coldly.

The woman looked even more annoyed: "What's wrong with the Shangshu's son? The Shangshu threw him to this farm to let him fend for himself. The Shangshu had already kicked this jinx out of the family a long time ago.

If I hadn't taken care of him, he would have starved to death. A dog on the street would wag its tail at you if you gave it a bone, but he never said a word of thanks. Ever since he came here, I've been unlucky because of him!"

Ye Xingchen's eyes turned cold and stern: "This is the Shangshu Mansion's manor, not your home. If you don't want to stay, you can just leave. Why take your anger out on a child?"

"How can you talk like that, woman? I am an old man on the farm and this is my home. After all, it is our Shangshu Mansion's family affair. Why do you meddle in other people's business?" the woman said angrily.

"Because I'm here to take him away." Ye Xingchen responded domineeringly.

"Take him away. Has the Minister remembered this disaster star? That's impossible." The woman looked incredulous.

Ye Xingchen directly took out the letter of severance written by Minister Gu: "This is written by Minister Gu himself, take a look for yourself."

The woman took it hurriedly, but she couldn't read.

"Old He, Old He, come quickly and take a look. There is a letter from the Shangshu." the woman shouted.

Not far outside the yard, a man in his fifties walked over, followed by two women and two young men. They were obviously working on the farm.

Old He was extremely surprised: "What letter did the Shangshu send?"

"Look for yourself. This woman said it was a letter from the Minister. Don't be a liar." The woman handed it over.

Old He excitedly took it and looked at it carefully. Then his face became serious. "This is actually a letter of severance. Has the Minister severed the father-son relationship with the young master? This is indeed the handwriting of the Minister."

The child frowned slightly. He knew since he was a child that his father disliked him. Now, is he not even allowed to stay in this farm?

"That's right, he is no longer a member of the Shangshu Mansion from now on." Ye Xingchen replied.

The woman was immediately pleased: "I said, if the Minister doesn't like him, who would like a disaster star?"

"If you keep calling you a disaster star, I will make you unable to speak for the rest of your life!" Ye Xingchen glared at him angrily.

When the woman saw so many people coming, she immediately felt confident and naturally was not afraid: "I told you what's wrong, he is a disaster star, a disaster who killed his own mother and was despised by his own father-----"

The woman hadn't finished her words when she suddenly became speechless.

The woman was shocked. She shouted desperately, but still no sound came out. She was immediately panicked and looked at the person next to her for help.

Lao He was also confused. He had no idea what was going on.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" one of the young men asked worriedly.

But the woman couldn't make a sound, she just pointed at Ye Xingchen in horror.

"It must be you. What did you do to my mother? Why can't she speak?" Another young man glared at him with hostility.

"I've said it before, if she calls him the disaster star again, I'll make her speechless. No one in this world has the right to scold him!" Ye Xingchen snorted coldly.

The child, who had originally lowered his head, raised his head slightly after hearing this, and looked at Ye Xingchen a few meters away in disbelief.

The words he heard the most since he was a child were "disaster star". Everyone scolded him like that, and he even felt that he was the disaster star. But the older sister in front of him actually said that others had no right to scold him. This shocked and surprised him, and he even doubted his own ears.

He must have heard it wrong.

"Hmph, he is a disaster in the first place, why can't we------" The young man just started to curse, and suddenly fell silent.

He was instantly filled with anger and annoyed, and swung his fist towards Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen looked at him coldly, muttering a spell silently.

The young man suddenly stopped moving, raised his hand and slapped his ears hard. The loud slapping sound made people's scalps numb.

The others were immediately frightened and dared not act rashly.

Now the child believed his ears. It was really the elder sister who said that they should not call her a disaster star.

At this moment, the child's cold heart gradually warmed up.

No one had ever defended him like this before, and he was very grateful.

Lao He was the oldest and was also shocked: "Girl, calm down. They were so reckless and offended you. Please don't bother with them."

Ye Xingchen ignored him and walked towards the child: "From now on, you have nothing to do with the Gu Mansion. I am here to pick you up. Are you willing to follow me?"

The child's face was still cold, but there was a little more warmth in his cold eyes. He glanced at the other people around him, and then looked at Ye Xingchen.

"Disaster, disaster----star-----" The child uttered three words with difficulty.

Ye Xingchen felt extremely distressed: "You are not a disaster star, you are a blessed person, it's just that they don't understand you. Don't worry, you can't defeat me, come home with me, and you will follow me from now on." As he said that, he stretched out his hand.

The child looked at Ye Xingchen's hand, then looked at her, then timidly reached out and held Ye Xingchen's hand.

"Very well, let's go home."
