Chapter 517: Something The Person Who Gave Birth To Me Left Behind
After all, women knew women the best. Under the light, women could give you a beautiful smile and seem gentle, kind, and nice. Shen Qianshu nodded.
Burger seemed to sense something odd in the atmosphere, and it did not dare to attract any attention. It lay on the sofa obediently and looked at Shen Qianshu depressingly. It was as if it was waiting for its owner to return home to stroke its fur.
Zhong Ran said, “Miss Shen, don’t overthink. It is my fault. Don’t feel guilty. Master… He had gone crazy for no reason a lot of times. I’ve seen it happen many times. It’s nothing.”
Shen Qianshu felt as if her heart had stopped. Going crazy for no reason…
Seen it happen many times?
It’s nothing?
Zhong Ran must be a spy from an enemy who is here to hurt us.
Those words were enough for her to sense what kind of days Ye Ling had been going through.
“I feel like the brooch is a little familiar. Where have I seen it before?” Zhong Ran took the box over and looked at it seriously. It was as if he was expecting a real flower to bloom out of it. The dark red gem looked really strange and odd under the light.
“Very expensive.” Bo Yiren did not know much about gems, but she could tell that it was definitely worth a lot just by the looks of it.
Ye Ling woke up in the second half of the night. At that time, the castle was brightly lit. Zhong Ran was afraid that he would go crazy, so he had sent the chefs and bodyguards far away. Only important people were left behind while the others had gone to rest. Bo Yiren, Shen Qianshu, and Zhong Ran were still in the living room.
“Master, how are you?” Shen Qianshu grabbed his hand. He looked really sinister and malicious. He glanced intently at the strange red gem on the table. “Zhong Ran, Bo Yiren, go get some rest.”
Bo Yiren and Zhong Ran made eye contact, and they went upstairs. Bo Yiren had a guest room in the castle. It was as if she was a frequent guest. However, Shen Qianshu had never seen her, so she never knew that.
“Where did you get the blood rose?” Ye Ling shut his eyes slightly.
“My… s.h.i.+fu gave it to me.” Shen Qianshu told him truthfully. She did not dare to hide the truth. “s.h.i.+fu came to look for me today and gave it to me as a gift.”
“Someone from Ghost City?”
“Master, I don’t know s.h.i.+fu’s name. He’s very young, around 30 years old. Every time we meet, we meet alone. At most, his chauffeur would be with us. I’ve never heard of his chauffeur’s name either. I’m guessing that he is a member of Ghost City, but I do not have pure hard evidence. I’m so sorry!” Shen Qianshu looked at him sincerely. She did not wish that this incident would break the two of them apart.Read more chapter at vipnovel
Master, please believe me!
“Is this brooch special in any way?” Shen Qianshu asked.
“This is not even a brooch in the first place!” Ye Ling sounded really heavy and serious. “This is something the person who gave birth to me left behind.”
“Huh?”
He used ‘the person who gave birth to me’ to refer to his biological mother.
Ye Yifan shut his eyes lightly and took a deep breath. This was the first time he had mentioned his mother in front of her. Ye Yifan had mentioned before that Ye Ling was sent to the Ye Family before he even turned three. As such, his mother’s ident.i.ty was a mystery.
Shen Qianshu thought to herself, A child so young would not have good memory, yet he still remembers his own mother?
Ye Ling seemed to be in great pain, and he seemed to be paralyzed. It seemed as if someone was pulling him and fighting with him. His body stiffened, and he was in great pain. Shen Qianshu grabbed his hand hurriedly and rea.s.sured him. “Master, all is well.”
“The blood rose is a possession of a d.u.c.h.ess. It is rumored to be a gift from a woman who envied the d.u.c.h.ess. She used her own blood and exchanged it with a mysterious force to create this cursed gift. The owner of the gift will not have a good ending and will be lonely for life. This gift has been handed down from generation to generation for more than a hundred years. It is really expensive. All eleven holders of this gem had pa.s.sed on for weird reasons… including her.” Ye Ling scoffed. “Of course, this is just a rumor. Just like the Hope Diamond where the holder of it will have bad luck. Or like the Black Orlov Diamond where the holder will jump off the building and commit suicide. No exceptions. This blood rose is a typical example of a curse.”
