In reality, Lian Mengzhu was also in a deep struggle. Although aware that Ye Wanwan had replaced her biological daughter for many years like a viper had taken over a magpie’s nest. However, humans were emotional beings; she had spent numerous years treating Ye Wanwan as her own daughter, showering her with love and care. Even knowing that Ye Wanwan wasn’t her real daughter, clearing her emotions in an instant was impossible.
Upon hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words, a subtle movement passed over Ye Hongxuan’s brow, ultimately choosing not to say much. He simply remarked, “Let’s discuss this later! I’ll go verify it now! Besides, we need to inform Father about this matter and let him make a decision.”
His considerations surpassed those of Lian Mengzhu. Although Ye Wanwan’s reputation had suffered recently, she had just entered into an engagement with Murong Xingrui. Now, this matter wasn’t solely about the Ye family; it also entangled the Murong family. Mishandling it would be detrimental to the relationship between the two families.
Hence, the only person capable of making the final decision in this matter was his father.
Lian Mengzhu nodded without dwelling on it too much.
“Alright, go back and rest for now!” Ye Hongxuan sighed. “I’ll head to the alchemy room first. Once Ye Leng’an’s words are confirmed, I’ll head straight to Father’s place.”
Lian Mengzhu nodded again and stayed silent.
After leaving the side hall, the couple went their separate ways.
On the other side, Ye Wanwan, still in her courtyard, was genuinely anxious. She had just heard that Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an had come for a visit.
As she heard their names, her heart skipped a beat. She wasn’t sure of the purpose behind their visit, but her emotions were in disarray.
Her mind raced with speculations about why Ye Leng’an chose to visit at this particular time. She desperately wanted to confront her and drive her away. However, she forced herself to stay calm; any disturbance now would raise suspicions.
It wasn’t until she heard that Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an had left that she truly sighed in relief. Their departure indicated they weren’t aware of the switch. Otherwise, leaving so easily wouldn’t make sense.
Furthermore, after their departure, she noticed no unusual activities from her parents. Her father continued with his routine in the alchemy room, and her mother went back to rest.
If Ye Leng’an truly knew about the swap thing and came to reveal the truth, she wouldn’t be so composed. Also, if she knew, she wouldn’t remain so calm. She couldn’t believe anyone would be disinterested in the position of the Ye family’s young lady.
Thinking about this, she temporarily relaxed. However, she couldn’t entirely let go of her concerns. As long as Ye Leng’an was around, her identity could be exposed at any moment, risking her position as the Ye family’s daughter.
Moreover, despite learning from Yuan Silei that the medicine had been placed beside Ye Leng’an, it hadn’t been enough time. She didn’t know its current effectiveness. Only when Ye Leng’an completely lost her cultivation talent could she truly relax.
At this moment, Ye Wanwan truly wanted to go to her parents and inquire. However, she restrained her impulsive urge.
After Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an left the Ye family, they returned to the Huangfu family.
However, as he didn’t return under the name Huangfu Ling this time, the two didn’t stay in the main courtyard. Instead, they lodged in another relatively quiet courtyard.
Unlike the previous visit, only the Grand Elder came. The other elders didn’t come, understanding that Huangfu Ruiling preferred a low profile.
As for others in the Huangfu family, they were somewhat curious about Huangfu Ruiling’s arrival. In the Huangfu family, only a few elders knew that Huangfu Ling and Huangfu Ruiling were the same person. So, they didn’t know the other’s identity, only curious about their status in the family to receive such high courtesy.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t continue sitting in the wheelchair but stood up.
Observing Huangfu Ruiling’s expression, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but smile. “Ling, you’re fine. How long do you plan to stay in the wheelchair?”
“Don’t like it?” Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow. “If you don’t, I can stop using the wheelchair anytime.”
“No need for that.” Ye Leng’an shook her head, sat on the sofa, poured tea for both of them and continued, “But why did you use a wheelchair in the first place?”
“Because of the murderous aura.” Huangfu Ruiling had nothing to hide, explaining straightforwardly. “Back then, the murderous aura on my body was too heavy, and my body couldn’t bear it. So, I had to force all of it onto my legs. Otherwise, my body would have exploded due to unbearable pressure.”
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling speak of these matters so casually, a hint of pity flashed in Ye Leng’an’s eyes. After considering for a moment, she asked, “Can you tell me what’s going on with the murderous aura on your body?”
She had always been curious about Huangfu Ruiling’s murderous aura.
Huangfu Ruiling could cultivate, and his cultivation was exceptionally high. She couldn’t see through him at all. However, she was very aware that Huangfu Ruiling’s most formidable aspect wasn’t his high cultivation but the hidden murderous aura on his body.
The malevolent aura was so dense that it could consume everything. She felt the need to retreat when faced with it. If an ordinary person had the murderous aura enter their body, all their organs would have been destroyed long ago, and they would have died from exhaustion.
However, Huangfu Ruiling could control the murderous aura in his body and release it freely. Even at her peak, she wouldn’t dare claim she could achieve that.
Thus, she sometimes wondered if Huangfu Ruiling, like her, had been to the cultivation world. In other words, was he a mighty figure reborn in the cultivation world?
