Rebirth Of Spoiled Crown Princess (Drop)

6- Behind the Adultery

The scenery in front of her was the one she saw a thousand times in her dreams. She had felt so helpless when her mother was gone.

Although she was taken by emotions, she didn't have the luxury to dilly dally.
Hurriedly she pushed the door Of the inner court. Strangely not one maid could be seen.

She felt a bit relieved and looked at the room. The lanterns were letting out a warm light. She wiped the corner of her eyes with her sleeves before entering her mother's study. She could smell the sweet fragrance Of her mother favorite lily flower.

"Mother"

An Qing Ran shouted her voice quivering.

She didn't get an answer.

A bamboo screen separated the study from the inner room. Once she passed it, she could see her mother lying in bed. Her clothes a mess and a man lying next to her with only white underwear.

The two people clothes were scattered around the room.

An Qing Ran looked at the man's face..... Uncle Ye Hen! It was exactly as she remembered!

(Note: Uncle here doesn't mean he is her relative, but a close friend Of her mother)

Her Yiniang had told her that her father arrested her mother and uncle Ye because he caught them in adultery. She has also told Qing Ran that uncle Ye Hen had been arrogant. Demanding to general An to let his wife leave with him.

She had said that such a thing was never seen before. Like a thief getting caught but still acting as a righteous person...

Pulling herself from the memories.

An Qing Ran noticed that the two people on the bed were motionless. She tried to shout in order to wake them but it was to no veil!

Now she was sure about one thing, this was a scheme and clearly someone close helped to put it in motion.

She tried to Shake her mother, but still, she couldn't get a response. She turned to grab the water basin and splashed the two faces. She then shook her mother and finally, Lían Jin Yu opened her eyes and looked at her confused.

"Qing er? Why you are here?"

"Mother This is not the time to ask questions... Uncle, are you awake?"

Her arm passed across her mother to pull He Yen.

"Uncle you must get up!"

"How could This be? What is going on here? He Yen what are you doing here?"

Lían Jin Yu hurriedly sorted out her clothes and kept on asking these questions.

"Mother, faster!!"

An Qing Ran didn't answer her mother enquiries and directly put a cotton robe on her body, white she pushed her behind the bamboo screen.

She then turned to Ye Hen. "Uncle hurry up!"

Ye Hen was not stupid, he inmediately understood that they had fell into a plot. He was calmly dressing himself up, his brows creased. He looked at Qing Ran before speaking in a cold voice.

"Fortunately, you arrived in time. Why is behind This black scheme?"

An Qing Ran sighed

"We will have to talk about these things later. Uncle has to leave now! Please use the back door and don't let anyone see you!"

Ye Hen understood the urgency Of the matter, without another word he left.
Turning back, he picked up his jade belt that was left on the bed and looked worriedly at Qing Ran as if he had something to Say.

In the end, he just sighed and left. Once he pushed the door his body disappeared in a flash.

Behind the screen, Lían Jin Yu Spoke again.

"Fortunately, Qing-Ran calme today. Otherwise This matter.... But why did This Daughter visit?"

An Qing Ran turned to the screen and picked up a towel to help her mother dry her hair. Once she was done she hugged her mother putting her small arms around her waist.

"This daughter wanted to see her mother is that why she came?"

Coaxed Lían Jin Yu in a soft voice.

An Qing Ran was relieved. Her mother didn't let her down. This matter was really a scheme.

She wanted to laugh, but wrapped in her mother scent her heart turned a little bit sour....
