Although Li Yiran was on the verge of losing her composure due to excitement, she knew she couldn’t afford to do so in front of Li Yi. Thus, she exerted all her strength to contain her emotions, ensuring Li Yi wouldn’t detect anything amiss.
Li Yi continued, “I’ve investigated. The day before Second Young Master went for his training, Zhong Yating sneaked into his room unnoticed by others. Moreover, the reason for the spirit beast’s attack on Second Young Master was the scent of his clothes, which attracted them. Previously, it was speculated that Second Young Master might have accidentally come into contact with a substance in the forest that attracted the spirit beasts. However, after investigation, it seems likely that Zhong Yating applied the substance to his clothes the night before.”
“Is that so?” Li Yiran’s tone was filled with excitement, but she quickly realized her inappropriate emotions and switched to an indignant expression. “How could she do such a thing? Doesn’t she realize that her actions could have led to Ruixiang’s death? Zhong Yating is truly despicable.”
Li Yi didn’t doubt Li Yiran’s words. He continued, “However, these are just speculations without substantial evidence. Also, there’s another matter. Before Second Young Master left, Zhong Yating was already inquiring about his whereabouts. And most importantly, two days before the incident, Zhong Yating spent almost all her savings on a one-time defense talisman.”
Although there was no concrete evidence, these clues strongly suggested Zhong Yating’s involvement in orchestrating the rescue. Li Yi felt it necessary to inform Li Yiran about this promptly. Thus, after gathering these leads, he hurried back from the Hidden World without delay.
“It must be Zhong Yating’s doing,” Li Yiran exclaimed with excitement. “I never expected her to be capable of such treachery. If Ruixiang finds out, he’ll surely be deeply disappointed.”
This news was indeed a blessing for her. Regardless of whether Zhong Yating was behind it or not, with these clues, she could ensure that Zhong Yating would be implicated.
As long as Huangfu Ruixiang learned about this, he would surely divorce Zhong Yating. And with that divorce, she’d have a chance to rise. After all, she still had a child.
However, she was well aware that ascending to power wouldn’t be easy. After all, there were hurdles like Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying to contend with. Though they seemed supportive now, she knew it was to balance against Zhong Yating.
But if she could bring Zhong Yating down, it would be an opportunity for her. If she could marry Huangfu Ruixiang and become his legitimate wife, she and her son would be recognized in the Huangfu family’s family tree.
Seeing Li Yiran’s silence, Li Yi thought she was overwhelmed and quickly said, “Yiran, don’t dwell on it too much. If Second Young Master learns of Zhong Yating’s true nature, he’ll surely divorce her.”
No man could accept being manipulated in marriage, especially when it endangered his life.
Li Yi’s words snapped Li Yiran out of her thoughts. She quickly masked her smile and said, “Thank you, Brother Li Yi. Without you, I wouldn’t have caught Zhong Yating. Then my child and I would have been under her oppression forever.”
Li Yi had indeed proven invaluable. His trip to the Hidden World yielded significant information. Her act of appearing weak and helpless had paid off.
“Yiran, you must take care of yourself,” Li Yi urged with concern. “If Zhong Yating could scheme against Second Young Master, she’s definitely not kind-hearted. I’m worried she might target you.”
“It’s okay,” Li Yiran reassured him. “Brother Li Yi, you don’t have to worry about me. She won’t get the chance to scheme against me. Because…”
At this point, a glint of determination flashed in Li Yiran’s eyes. “I’ll expose her before she can harm me. Once her true nature is revealed, she won’t be able to stay in the Huangfu family. How could she harm me then?”
So, her immediate task was to find the right moment to reveal Zhong Yating’s misdeeds. Only then could she ensure Zhong Yating’s downfall.
“Alright.” Li Yi nodded. “But be cautious. Don’t let Zhong Yating know you’re aware of these things. Otherwise, she might act out of desperation and harm you. After all, despite Zhong Yating’s low cultivation, she’s capable of causing you harm.”
After all, Li Yiran had no innate talent for cultivation; she was just an ordinary person. If she were to truly confront Zhong Yating, it could be said that she would be virtually defenseless.
“I understand.” Li Yiran nodded. “But, Brother Li Yi, I’m currently at the ancestral mansion. Even if Zhong Yating is anxious, she wouldn’t dare to act there. Even as Huangfu Ruixiang’s wife, the family wouldn’t tolerate her actions.
Relieved, Li Yi continued, “That’s good. However, Yiran, if you need anything, just contact me directly! Whatever it is, I’ll help you.”
Looking at Li Yiran, Li Yi’s eyes were filled with tenderness.
Sensing Li Yi’s sentiment, a hint of disgust flickered in Li Yiran’s eyes. Nevertheless, she maintained a grateful smile. “Okay, Brother Li Yi, you’re so kind. But if I contact you often in the future, don’t find me too bothersome!”
Li Yi smiled sincerely. “If you contact me often, I’d be glad! Yiran, remember, whenever you need help, just call me anytime.”
