Returning to his yard, he locked himself in the house, like a wounded beast hiding away to lick its wounds alone.
He dug out all the information Lin Yu had found about Murong Ling'er from childhood to adulthood, screening it word by word, trying to find more truth from these trivial details.
Suddenly, a piece of information caught his eyes: Five years ago, Murong Ling'er disappeared inexplicably for a night and was finally found in Xuefeng Mountain. At that time, she looked dazed, as if she had suffered a great shock, her emotions were extremely unstable, and she kept talking nonsense.
Chu Lingfeng's breathing suddenly became rapid. He clearly remembered that after he escaped from the witch's insect cave, the last place he arrived was Xuefeng Mountain.
Then, he couldn't wait to look up Murong Chen's information and find his birth date. After some calculations, a shocking truth was about to come out: that night in Xuefeng Mountain, the person who spent the night with him was not Liu Yuyan at all, but Murong Ling'er!
The moment the truth came to light, Chu Lingfeng remembered Murong Ling'er's instantly stiff expression when he mentioned the pink peach blossom birthmark to her.
At this moment, he felt angry and amused, but more of a sense of helplessness: "Murong Ling'er, you are so heartless. You've made it so hard for me to hide this..."
For the next two days and two nights, Chu Lingfeng locked himself in the room, not sleeping or drinking. He sometimes sat there in a daze, sometimes paced back and forth in the room, and his mind kept emerging with every little detail of his time with Murong Ling'er.
No one knew what happened to him or what he was doing in the house.
The entire Chu family fell into a strange silence because of his abnormality.
Liu Yuyan clearly felt that she was being taken out on. The women of the Chu family became increasingly cold towards her and even ignored her existence.
Faced with all this, she could only stay in her room with a wry smile, not daring to go out for a moment, for fear of causing any more trouble.
……
"Sir, we've investigated thoroughly. Liu Yuyan is the daughter of Liu Huaishu, the Minister of Works six years ago. At that time, Liu Huaishu was involved in a major fraud case in Jiangnan. The entire Liu family was implicated. The men were exiled to the frontier, and the women were sold into slavery."
The secret guard knelt on one knee and reported to Chu Lingfeng respectfully.
"And..." The secret guard hesitated.
"And what? Say it!" Chu Lingfeng's expression turned stern and his voice rose unconsciously.
"Besides..." The secret guard's voice paused slightly. In the quiet room, this brief pause seemed to be infinitely stretched.
Chu Lingfeng raised his eyebrows, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes: "What's the matter? Don't hesitate!"
"Furthermore, Liu Yuyan was later sold to an underground casino on the black market and worked as a dealer. That's where the Fourth Young Master encountered her when he was set up."
The secret guard finished speaking in one breath, with cold sweat slightly breaking out on his forehead, as if he was worried about how this news would trigger Chu Lingfeng's reaction.
"Such a coincidence?" Chu Lingfeng murmured to himself in a low voice, revealing a bit of doubt. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound, as if he was sorting out the intricate clues.
"Not only that," the secret guard continued, his tone becoming increasingly cautious. "After Liu Yuyan spent a night with the Fourth Young Master, she vanished the next day. The Fourth Young Master was extremely anxious and mobilized many of his connections to search for her, but to no avail."
Hearing this, Chu Lingfeng's mind emerged the scene where Murong Ling'er accidentally met Liu Yuyan and her son in Min'an Country. His eyes instantly darkened like an abyss, and a complex and indistinguishable light flashed in them.
"Have you found out Chu Yuting's birth date and horoscope?" Chu Lingfeng suddenly asked, with a hint of irresistible majesty in his voice.
"This... has not been found..." The secret guard lowered his head nervously, his voice becoming weaker.
"It's okay, you can leave!" Chu Lingfeng waved his hand, his expression returned to calm, but the thought in his eyes still lingered.
"Yes, Your Highness." The secret guard was as if he had been pardoned. He quickly concealed the strange look in his eyes and retreated respectfully.
In the darkness, Chu Lingfeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. He had already concluded in his heart that Chu Yuting could never be his son.
That night six years ago, he was in Xuefeng Mountain, and Liu Yuyan was in prison at that time. Later, she had a romantic affair with her fourth brother in the casino. Chu Yuting was undoubtedly the orphan of his fourth brother.
……
It was late at night and everything was silent. Only the breeze gently brushed through the window lattice, making a subtle sound.
Murong Ling'er was sitting cross-legged in the room, her aura steady, immersed in the tranquility of cultivation.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared quietly in the corner of the room like a ghost, breaking the tranquility. She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze as calm as water, looking towards the dark shadow, without a trace of panic or fear in her eyes.
Chu Lingfeng hid in the darkness, looking at Murong Ling'er's calm appearance, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose up.
When he learned the truth, his heart was in turmoil. It took a lot of effort to control himself and not rush over to her, strangle her neck, and ask her why she was so cruel.
This heartless woman just watched him like a fool, searching the whole world for her like looking for a needle in a haystack, and even kept the matter of their son a secret from him. It was really despicable!
"What brings you here so late at night?" Murong Ling'er broke the silence first. Her voice was cold and echoed in the silent room.
She really couldn't understand what was wrong with this guy. He broke into her room in the middle of the night with such a murderous look on his face.
"Don't you have anything to confess?" Chu Lingfeng was once again angered by her nonchalant attitude. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but when the words came out of his mouth, he still questioned her with gritted teeth.
Murong Ling'er was slightly startled, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She frowned silently and looked at Chu Lingfeng carefully. She couldn't guess what he meant, and for a moment she didn't dare to speak rashly.
Seeing that Murong Ling'er didn't say anything, Chu Lingfeng felt a nameless anger rushing to his head. He felt like a neglected and unwanted child. He was so depressed that he was about to explode.
In order not to lose control completely in front of Murong Ling'er, Chu Lingfeng glared at her fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Then he walked towards Murong Chen's room.
Murong Chen was sleeping soundly, lying on the stone bed with his arms and legs spread out. His cute little face was particularly clear in the moonlight. His little mouth was slightly pouting, and each breath was even and gentle, revealing the innocence and cuteness unique to children.
Chu Lingfeng's eyes were immediately attracted and could no longer be looked away. Before he knew that Murong Chen was his son, he liked this little guy from the bottom of his heart. He even fantasized about being his stepfather, giving him all the fatherly love, and holding him in the palm of his hand to protect him.
