Chapter 38: Great Joy

Luo Qi met Ye Lanxi's cold eyes and realized that she had said something wrong.

Fortunately, Ye Lanxi did not make things difficult for her.

"How is my eldest brother now?"

"Thank you, Master, for showing mercy and sparing my son's life. His injuries are now healed."

"That's good." Ye Lanxi nodded: "Madam Ye, are you willing to go somewhere with me?"

His calling her "Madam Ye" made Luo Qi feel a little uncomfortable.

She is the stepmother.

All bastards should respectfully call her "Mother".

But this night...

Oh, forget it. He is not only the patriarch of the Ye family, but also the national master of Daxin. It is already very good to be called "Mrs. Ye" by him.

Luo Qi forced a smile on his fat face: "Of course I am willing."

Ye Lanxi took Luo Qi to the west courtyard.

The West Courtyard is the most remote and deserted place in the entire Ye Mansion.

After entering the west courtyard, I continued walking along a weed-covered path on the right for about an incense stick of time and passed an abandoned garden.

Luo Qi gradually felt uneasy: "Master, where are you taking me?"

"It's just ahead. We'll be there soon."

"I suddenly remembered that I had to go to the market to buy you some summer clothes."

Luo Qi made up an excuse and turned around to leave.

Several servants suddenly blocked her way with iron rods.

They were all carefully selected by Luo Qi from the slave market.

Some of them had been in the Ye family for many years and were usually loyal to her, but today they all looked at her with hostility.

Luo Qi was frightened: "Master, Master, what do you want to do?"

"I said I would take you somewhere."

Ye Lanxi walked straight forward.

Several servants carried the strong and sturdy Luo Qi and followed him closely.

The air in the dark and damp basement was filled with an unpleasant smell of mold and mildew.

There were traces of blood on the ground.

There were vertical and horizontal lines on the wall that he had carved with stones. Each stroke was crooked and he had carved them when he was about to go crazy.

Ye Lanxi closed his eyes slightly, as if he saw again the scene of himself with his tendons in his hands and feet cut, lying on the ground with wounds all over his body begging for mercy, while Ye Mosun Ye Xingfeng Ye Zhiyi laughed beside him and called him a bastard.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a cold and murderous look in his eyes.

"Madam Ye, do you know where this place is?"

"Master of the family."

Luo Qi's knees softened, and his heavy body knelt down: "Master, spare my life. I admit that I know Xun'er and the others have locked you up here for more than ten years. I also admit that I was the one who broke Anu's legs and eyes..."

Now that things have been said, there is naturally no reason to let her leave alive.

When the iron gate closed, Luo Qi almost went crazy.

"Ye Lanxi, let me out. I am your mother. You can't do this to me."

"You beast, you will be struck by lightning if you abuse your mother."

"Ye Lanxi, Ye Lanxi..."

Ye Lanxi didn't go far.

He had a dining table set up at the door of the dark room.

After a while, the maids brought a sumptuous breakfast: hot meat porridge, sugar-coated fruits, stir-fried vegetables, and fried white sausage.

During the more than ten years of imprisonment, Ye Lanxi had eaten moldy steamed buns, rotten rice balls, mice that ran past him, and centipedes that crawled in the cracks of the ground...

At that time, Ye Lanxi dreamed of eating a fresh, hot meal.

Now it's a dream come true.

Ye Lanxi savored the aroma of the food between her tongue and teeth, chewed slowly, and swallowed slowly...

Her elegant and noble demeanor made the servants and maids beside her stare in amazement.

Although Ye Qing was the left general of the Da Xin Kingdom, he, his first wife Luo Qi, and his sons Ye Mosun, Ye Xingfeng, Ye Zhiyi, etc., were all uglier in appearance and behaved more vulgarly than the other.

The maids and servants in the mansion all knew that Ye Qing had severe athlete's foot, and Luo Qi had a strong body odor. The incense in their bedroom never stopped burning from morning to night, but it still couldn't cover up the unpleasant smell.

Several of the young men were also extremely ugly.

In this situation, even if the extremely handsome Ye Lanxi was just leisurely eating breakfast, his elegant and noble manner would astound the maids and servants.

Ye Lanxi put down his bowl and chopsticks, and looked up inadvertently, and saw that the maids and servants beside him were looking at him with enthusiastic eyes.

Luo Qi was locked in a dark room, but she was still talking nonsense.

Not long after, several servants brought Ye Mosun and Ye Zhiyi over.

Ye Mosun's dantian had been shattered by Ye Lanxi. His face was pale and he was carried in limply by several servants.

Perhaps because he knew that he was powerless to change the situation, Ye Mosun did not cry or make a fuss, nor did he beg for mercy. He just stared at Ye Lanxi with a cold gaze.

But Ye Zhiyi knew that he could not escape Ye Lanxi's punishment, so when he was about to swallow the poison after returning, he was discovered by several servants and brought over.

Ye Lanxi was calmer than ever before.

He doesn't want to kill anyone.

He just wanted to return to them double the suffering he had endured, that's all.

"My dear mothers and brothers, don't be afraid. Not only will I not kill you, I will also send you food and drink."

"This dark room will be your residence from now on."

"In a year, I will have your tendons cut."

"In two years, I will have your tendons severed."

"After three years, I will have people dig out your eyes, cut off your ears and noses, and then cut off your flesh piece by piece, and drain your blood bit by bit."

"I will use the elixir to keep you alive."

"I want you to experience all the tortures in this world..."

With every word Ye Lanxi spoke, Luo Qiye Mosun and Ye Zhiyi's faces became paler and the despair in their eyes grew more.

They cried and begged him to kill them.

Ye Lanxi smiled and said, this is the greatest pleasure I can give you, just enjoy it here, the future is long, I hope you have fun here, and the one who survives to the end will have a surprise.

There was a ruthless murderous intent on his extremely beautiful face.

Ye Lanxi turned around, put aside Luo Qiye Mosun Ye Zhiyi's painful wails and desperate curses, and walked out of the dark room step by step towards the light.

Ye Qing stood under the withered sycamore tree for who knows how long. When he saw him coming, he stepped forward tremblingly: "Xi'er."

"You should call me Master of the Family." Ye Lanxi said in a cold voice, "Or Master Imperial Master."

He is not his 'son'.

It wasn't like that before, and it's even less likely to be like that in the future.

Ye Qing glanced behind him and said in a trembling voice: "Master, even if they have a thousand faults, they are still your blood relatives after all..."

"Master Ye, I advise you not to plead for them. The most urgent thing is to think about how I will deal with you."

Ye Lanxi glanced at Ye Qing coldly, then left in a huff.

Ye Qing looked at his back and stamped his feet fiercely, but considering that he was the imperial master of the dynasty, he did not curse him out loud in his heart as "evil creature".

Ye Lanxi was in a good mood and planned to go to the street to buy a wooden cart for Anu to get around.

He never expected that as soon as the door of the mansion opened, the scene before him shocked him.
