Chapter 46: Putting Them in Their Place: Meeting the Illicit Lovers
“This is because the Drunken Cloud Pavilion is the Su Clan’s property,” Ye Jiuge explained.
“It belongs to the Su Clan?” Wan Ziyang’s pupils contracted.
That explained why, no matter how deeply he probed to discover who was behind the Drunken Cloud Pavilion, he never learned anything. As it turned out, it was the Su Clan.
This is not right. Isn’t Ye Yuxuan’s wife, Su Yufeng, a daughter of the Su Clan? If so, then why was Fourth Miss’s Longevity Lock found on the girl child’s corpse? Could it be that someone from the Su Clan abducted the Ye Clan’s Fourth Miss?
“That’s right. Lord Wan, it’s exactly what you are thinking. My Fourth Sister was abducted by the Su Clan.” Ye Jiuge smiled bitterly then said, “Speaking of which, I am not afraid that I will be a laughing stock in your eyes. My stepmother tried to ruin me with her schemes, but she did not succeed. Therefore, she targeted Fourth Sister and her mother instead. It frustrates me that I could not protect them from harm.”
“Damn the Su Clan!” Wan Ziyang’s handsome, perpetually expressionless face suddenly cracked. His speech conveyed his fury, and his sharp eyes turned bloodshot. He looked as if he were transformed into a wild beast about to devour its prey.
Ye Jiuge had not expected Wan Ziyang to become so enraged.However, from his expression, it seemed more likely that he was taking his anger out on the Su Clan for something that they had not done. Could it be that he had also suffered something similar? If so, then she would definitely be able to convince Wan Ziyang to help her find Ye Ruyi.
It was a pity that Ye Yu’s identity was considered sensitive information. Not only that, but he was also connected to that treasure map. Otherwise, she would have also asked Wan Ziyang to help her search for him.
After Wan Ziyang realized that he had acted improperly, he quickly regained his composure. His indifference returned as he said stiffly, “Ye Clan’s Eldest Miss, in the future, if you have any clues about the whereabouts of Fourth Miss, come find me. I will unquestionably help you.”
