Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 212: Intricate Schemes

"Juan’er..." Xia Zhun opened his mouth, his voice weak from long-term bedridden illness.

Song Juan’s eyes were misty as she gaze at the man on the bed, momentarily forgetting to question why he disappeared without a word and why he erased her memory, abandoning her!

Xia Zhun stared unblinkingly at the person he thought of day and night, his gaze tender. Back then, in the battle of the Hundred Families, he was injured by them and accidentally entered the current world, where this woman saved him.

During his recovery, he was drawn to her tenderness, and things that shouldn’t have happened, happened...

"Since you and I aren’t from the same world, why did you provoke me in the first place!" Song Juan’s tears welled in her eyes, but she couldn’t hold back her grievances as she questioned him.

On the bed, Xia Zhun gently held Song Juan’s hand, his eyes filled with deep apology, "I’m sorry..."

"What’s the use of ’sorry’! Do you know how Mianmian and I have lived all these years?" Song Juan threw Xia Zhun’s hand away, covering her face as she cried.

The sound of the wind whispered, making the quiet room seem even more silent, like a place where the drop of a pin could be heard.

The Great Elder and two others stood in a line, trying hard to reduce their presence, looking like quailing birds.

The current situation between the Young Master and Song Juan was something they had a great role in.

Back then, due to Song Juan’s ordinary identity, they incited the entire Divine Clan to oppose the Young Master’s relationship, and the Divine Master used both his role as a father and the future of the Divine Clan to coerce the Young Master back to preside over the clan’s matters.

But he had become thoroughly disappointed with the Divine Clan.

Now, with the Divine Master missing, the juniors of the Divine Clan were in a frenzy over an heir’s position.

They finally realized the gravity of their past mistakes...

"Madam, this mess was due to our foolishness back then, the Young Master was also left with no choice..." The Great Elder began to mediate with a brave face, "The Young Master truly loves you and the young lady..."

The Great Elder wasn’t lying, although Qin Ru was married into the Divine Clan under the Divine Master’s insistence.

But the Young Master always treated Qin Ru with indifference.

As for Xia Weiyang, her origin was even less clear.

Qin Ru claimed her to be Xia Zhun’s child, but Xia Zhun was unconscious most of the time, so who knew what tricks Qin Ru might have employed?

"True love?" Xia Mian sarcastically curled her lips, suddenly speaking up, "If it was true love, he wouldn’t have left my mom! If it was true love, he shouldn’t have hidden his identity!"

Did Xia Zhun think he was great?

That by erasing Song Juan’s memory, he could pretend nothing ever happened?

Xia Zhun’s gaze slowly fell upon Xia Mian’s face, soft and full of affection; this was the daughter he went against destiny to save, and her temper was quite something!

"Mianmian, do I look like a scum to you?" Xia Zhun asked softly, with a gentle smile on his lips.

Xia Zhun was quite handsome, making him inherently likable to those around him.

Xia Mian pressed her lips together; it was a difficult question for her to answer.

"From beginning to end, my wife is only your mother, and my daughter is only you." Xia Zhun spoke tenderly, slowly sitting up.

He was the Young Master of the Divine Clan, with unparalleled talent. If it wasn’t for his trip back to the current world to resurrect Xia Mian, defying fate so dangerously, he wouldn’t have suffered such repercussion.

"Xia Zhun!" A furious shout came from outside, as Qin Ru, supported by Xia Weiyang, strode in from outside.

"You only recognize them, then what am I?!" Qin Ru’s voice was sharp, her eyes filled with intense jealousy.

She thought she had schemed her way into possessing this man, but didn’t realize he had never cared for them!

"You?" A hint of sarcasm appeared in Xia Zhun’s eyes, "What a joke!"

"What did you say?!" Qin Ru shrieked, "You took advantage of me, and I bore you Yangyang, yet you say I’m a joke?!"

Xia Zhun’s dark eyes were deep and low, "Who said I took advantage of you, and who told you Xia Weiyang is yours?"

Listening to Xia Zhun’s words, a dreadful premonition suddenly emerged in Qin Ru’s heart.

That night, she had sneaked into Bishui Residence in the dark, hoping for something to happen with Xia Zhun.

Unexpectedly, even after undressing, her mind became clouded, and she found herself sprawled over Xia Zhun in a daze. When she awoke, both she and Xia Zhun were disheveled.

Xia Zhun’s personal guards were knocking on the door, and in her panic, she hastily left, clutching her clothes.

After that day, she began planning for her future, faking a pregnancy. Her belly grew day by day, and on the day of delivery, she bribed the midwife to swap in a child from outside... Later, Qin Ru silenced the midwife...

Because Xia Zhun was mostly unconscious, and when he occasionally woke, he never left Bishui Residence. She claimed that Xia Weiyang was his child, and no one disproved her.

Qin Ru was convinced Xia Zhun was unaware and had tacitly agreed.

But now, with Xia Zhun blatantly clarifying before everyone, Qin Ru finally began to panic.

"Xia Zhun, you don’t want to be responsible for your actions?" Qin Ru raised an eyebrow, speaking coldly.

Xia Zhun simply chuckled lightly, "Since returning from the current world, I can no longer father children. You say Xia Weiyang is my child, do you think I’m a fool?"

Xia Zhun had been awake for a while, gradually regaining some strength. He gazed deeply at Qin Ru, "Do you think she looks like me, or like you?"

After Xia Zhun spoke, the elders’ gazes immediately began to flit between Qin Ru and Xia Weiyang.

Indeed, Xia Weiyang resembled neither Qin Ru nor Xia Zhun.

Even if Xia Weiyang was quite good-looking, she was still slightly inferior in the presence of Xia Zhun and Song Juan.

"Young Master... do you mean to say that the eldest young lady is a fake?" The Great Elder cautiously asked.

Xia Zhun lowered his eyes with a soft scoff, "Did you not sense it? How could my bloodline produce a simpleton!"

The elders exchanged bewildered glances.

It’s not impossible for a genius to have a dull child!

"Xia Zhun, how dare you ruin my reputation like this!" Qin Ru cried out, "If Yangyang isn’t your blood, whose is she? Can I bear children on my own?"

She couldn’t admit it, she absolutely couldn’t admit that Xia Weiyang wasn’t Xia Zhun’s child! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Or everything would be over!

She would not only lose her position as matriarch of the Divine Clan, but also risk execution for deceiving the clan!
