A life was on the line, and with Su Wei accompanying her, no one dared to stand in Ye Chutang’s way.
She followed the young maidservant deeper inside. As they passed through the central courtyard, she saw blood splattered on the ground.
A violent conflict had clearly erupted here a short ti ago. Su Pei’er must have been injured because of it.
Ye Chutang quickened her pace.
「...」
Inside, Ye Heng was pacing back and forth, filled with agitation.
Hearing footsteps outside, he imdiately looked up, only to see the last face he wanted to see.
"Ye Chutang!?" Ye Heng’s brows knitted together.
’How did she get here so fast!?’
However, Ye Chutang rely gave him a slight nod before heading toward the inner room, as if unwilling to waste any ti on him.
Just as Ye Heng started to follow, he heard Ye Chutang’s voice.
"Close the door. Everyone not involved, please leave."
BANG—!
The young maidservant slamd the door shut!
The door nearly hit Ye Heng in the face. He hastily stepped back, his expression shifting.
"Ye Chutang! This is the Han Family’s residence! What do you think you’re doing!?"
There was no response from inside, but a voice from behind him sent a chill down his spine:
"I’d also like to ask Lord Ye, what is all this commotion about?"
Ye Heng spun around in disbelief. "Lo-Lord Su!?"
’Ye Chutang ca with him!?’
’But... how could the two of them possibly be involved with each other?’
Ye Heng couldn’t fathom it, but now was not the ti for such questions.
Su Wei glanced around, surveying the scene, before speaking in a mild tone. "I would have thought that with everything Lord Ye has been through recently, you’d be utterly exhausted. I certainly didn’t expect you’d still have the energy to ddle in the Han Family’s private matters."
Hearing this, Ye Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
Su Wei had always been at odds with him. After what happened today, Ye Heng knew Su Wei would never let this matter drop so easily.
He forced a smile. "Lord Su, you exaggerate. I only ca today out of respect for my old friendship with Han Tong. I ca specifically to check on Han Yao, lest he beco agitated and do sothing foolish—"
"I thought he had already fainted?" Su Wei said, his words laced with insinuation. "Since he’s unconscious, Lord Ye surely has no need to worry about him doing anything."
Ye Heng could clearly hear the sarcasm in his words, but he didn’t dare confront Su Wei and could only swallow his anger.
「...」
"Miss! Doctor Ye is here!"
The young maidservant hurried over, tears streaming down her face again.
Su Pei’er’s face was deathly pale. She turned her head slightly at the sound of the voice.
"...Doctor Ye, you’ve finally co..."
Ye Chutang stepped forward to examine Su Pei’er’s wound, her brow furrowing slightly.
’This wound... it really looks like she was trying to kill herself.’
The flesh was torn open, dripping with fresh blood.
’If it had been just a little bit different, her life would have been forfeit.’
"Was it worth doing this for Han Yao?"
But Su Pei’er slowly smiled, a faint curve appearing on her pale lips.
"I... didn’t do it for him..."
Ye Chutang froze.
The next mont, she felt sothing pressed into her hand.
Ye Chutang was taken aback. The instant their eyes t, a single tear slid from the corner of Su Pei’er’s eye, yet the smile gracing her features slowly widened.
"Doctor Ye... you must save Mr. Han..."
「...」
Ti ticked by slowly. Ye Heng was on pins and needles.
Finally, the door opened, and Ye Chutang erged.
Ye Heng shot to his feet, but to his surprise, Ye Chutang spoke first.
"Where is Han Yao now?"
