Heretic Doctor Useless Consort

Chapter 7

Within the main hall of the Southern Palace.

“How dare he?” Ye Fengtian, who already knew that he was under complete house arrest, growled with a face as black as the bottom of a pot. It was even darker than Judge Bao’s?face

.

“Why wouldn’t he dare? Even if he overturns the heavens, the emperor won’t do anything to him. Even the law enforcement officers will simply turn a blind eye to it,” Su Qin replied.

“Compared to this, what’s wrong with you, Li’er? Are you short-sighted or brainless? You couldn’t say those words to us in private. Instead, you had to say it in front of the crown prince.” Su Qin even pointed the spearhead at Ye Qianli.

Hearing that, Ye Fengtian also looked at Ye Qianli with a dark face, his eyes filled with obvious dissatisfaction. “Li’er, what you said and did today is seriously absurd.”

At this moment, Ye Qianli had yet to freshen up. Due to the sudden arrest, she was dragged in front of her parents to be interrogated. While her parents looked on at her with all the dirt and traces of blood on her body, they did not feel anything was inappropriate at all.

Just now, it was fine because the situation didn’t allow her to leave. After all, the crown prince had not allowed her to leave. What about now? She still wasn’t allowed to leave, so that she could wash up or treat her injuries. Neither did she receive any concern nor consolation.

“Uncle, Aunt, don’t blame Elder Sister. She… She’s already feeling bad enough. It’s understandable that she would do something that isn’t proper.” At this moment, Su Lianhua—who was also present—immediately defended Ye Qianli timidly.

When Su Qin saw this, she glared at Ye Qianli bitterly indeed. “Look, Hua’er is still the sensible one. You resent her so much, and yet she’s still so considerate towards you. If you’re an ounce as good as Hua’er, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.”

Yes, it had always been like this. Every time they did something, it was Su Lianhua who was obedient while Ye Qianli was that ignorant fool who made her seem better.

“Enough. Li’er is a little insensible, but Hua’er really did do wrong this time. Where’s Granny Nan? Did you find out where that poisoned tea came from? How did it get sent into Li’er’s mouth?” Ye Fengtian said.

When Su Lianhua heard this, her face clearly turned pale. However, Su Qin quickly pulled her into her embrace to comfort her. Su Qin even looked at Ye Fengtian in askance and said, “Why? Could it be that you’re like Li’er, thinking that Hua’er was the one who did it?”

“…” Ye Fengtian didn’t say anything. In reality, he did carry a trace of agreement. After all, logically speaking, it was impossible for a bad person to enter the Southern Palace where he was at. Therefore, the person could only be a traitor.

“Ye Fengtian, what do you mean?” Su Qin’s expression changed when she saw that he stayed silent.

“Father’s opinion is very simple. Younger Sister Hua is also a suspect because no outsider can enter the Clear Wind Palace and commit crimes under Father’s divine sense. That means that anyone who has served me or touched this cup of tea is a suspect, especially Younger Sister Hua.”

“And that’s because I didn’t want to drink tea at that time. She kept persuading me to drink it. All the servants present at the scene can testify. I just want to ask Younger Cousin Hua, why? Also, not only wasn’t she satisfied with making me drink poison, but she even made me consume the Tian Yu Night Queen Flower. Then, she abandoned me—who had been poisoned—and ran away. Why?” Ye Qianli continued.

The questions she asked were like sharp needles piercing into Su Lianhua’s heart. However, it was not over yet. Ye Qianli suddenly stared at Su Lianhua and questioned her word by word, “Is there poison in this tea? Was it actually you? Or…”

“Shut up!” Su Qin interrupted her protectively. However, she was not protecting her biological daughter, Ye Qianli, but Su Lianhua. This was simply incomprehensible to anyone else.

However, such a situation had always been happening in the Ye family. As such, Ye Fengtian was very used to it and did not feel that there was anything wrong. He only frowned slightly because of Ye Qianli’s questioning, as if he was thinking deeply.

“Why should I shut up? Mother, did I ask the wrong questions? Father, have you never thought about who would benefit the most if something happened to my goddess body? My engagement with the crown prince would be canceled. Then, other than Younger Cousin Hua, who else would get to marry the crown prince in this dynasty?”

Pa!

Ye Qianli was asking questions one after another when a slap suddenly whipped down from in front of her! It was a very heavy and ruthless slap, and this slap was from Su Qin. She had used her profound energy in her slap.

“!”

The slap was about to land on Ye Qianli’s face! In the midst of the chaos, no one could see what was going on, but when the slap landed, the person who received it became Su Lianhua.

“Pfft—” Su Lianhua—who was caught off-guard—not only spat out a mouthful of blood, but she also fell to the ground, seeing stars. Her beautiful face was also swollen.

Compared to that mock slap from before, this was a real slap. The previous slap in the main hall only made Su Lianhua’s face turn red. Right now though, it was truly swollen, and two of her teeth fell out…

“Mother, this is the last time I will call you Mother. Su Lianhua… She is your real daughter. I was picked up from the streets, right?” Ye Qianli glanced at the stunned Su Lianhua and spoke calmly to Su Qin.

At this point, in her heart, this Su Qin was just Su Qin. She was not a mother and had nothing to do with the owner of this body.

“You…” Su Qin was originally a little confused, too. She could not understand why her slap that was aimed at her daughter, Ye Qianli, landed on her niece instead.

However, even though she was stunned, when she met Ye Qianli’s cold and indifferent eyes; an indescribable fire rose in her heart. As a result, her beautiful face became a little distorted as she glared at the evil daughter in front of her and shouted, “Kneel!”

“You’re not worthy.” Of course, Ye Qianli would not kneel. She even turned around and walked out of the house after saying those three words. She did not even look at her mother or her father.

“You…” Su Qin was furious.

“Li’er, stop right there.” Ye Fengtian was also angered.

“Father, now is not the time to interrogate me—Ye Qianli. You should think about how to deal with the crown prince. He seems to have been angered by something else and intends to use our Ye family as a punching bag,” Ye Qianli replied indifferently. She did not slow down at all as she walked out.

Ye Fengtian was stunned!

While he was still in a daze, Ye Qianli had already opened the door. However, at this moment, she felt a strong gust of wind from behind sweep towards her back.

This force undoubtedly came from Su Qin. She had already stood up. “You evil girl, I don’t believe that I won’t be able to teach you manners today.”

“Doctor Jiang has just arrived—” At the same time, Yan Nanfei happened to bring Doctor Jiang into the Southern Palace. As soon as he lifted his head, he saw the disheveled Ye Qianli rushing towards him.

“Eunuch Yan, my mother is going to beat me to death. Save me…”

“Pfft…” Ye Qianli ran in front of Yan Nanfei and spat out a mouthful of blood. Yan Nanfei was so shocked that he instinctively held onto her.

Then, Yan Nanfei saw this noble daughter of the Ye Clan—who was ‘despised’ by the crown prince—roll her eyes indecently and faint…

“Princess Consort Ye is so impressive. You actually dare to shout and kill the future crown princess consort.” Before Ye Qianli rolled her eyes and pretended to pass out, she heard Yan Nanfei’s sharp eunuch voice reprimand Su Qin very sternly.

At the same time, Ye Qianli’s wrist was grabbed by someone. A strange power instantly spread through her limbs and bones, making her feel like she had nowhere to hide.

This was bad!
