Chapter 2702: Chapter 2702: Only Death Remains (5)
"How are you back so fast?" Yang Ruxin looked at the person walking in and raised her brows slightly.
"I happened to have something to report to madam, and ran into Jiji on the way." Bai Rongguang felt something was strange. Why was madam looking at him in such a weird way?
Yang Ruxin nodded. "Chai Qin, go invite that person outside back in."
Bai Rongguang frowned.
"I hear you’re going to be a dad?" While the person hadn’t arrived yet, Yang Ruxin decided to ask clearly first.
"Huh?" Bai Rongguang was completely dumbfounded. "What do you mean, be a dad?"
Yang Ruxin looked at Bai Rongguang for a moment, then suddenly smiled and jerked her chin toward the main gate. "That person says the child in her belly is yours."
When he saw the woman walking in, a flash of anger suddenly passed over Bai Rongguang’s originally calm face.
"Young Master Bai." The instant Long Qingye saw Bai Rongguang, tears immediately fell, but she didn’t dare go forward, only stood not far away, looking at him with a pitiful, aggrieved expression.
"Now that all the parties involved are here, let’s hear it." Yang Ruxin didn’t let everyone go inside, planning to have them confront each other right there in the courtyard.
"Long Qingye, whose child do you say you’re carrying?" Bai Rongguang practically ground the words out between his teeth.
"I..." Long Qingye shivered in fright.
"What are you doing?" A man rushed in from behind and supported Long Qingye. "You did it and still won’t admit it?"
"Who are you?" Yang Ruxin looked toward the man.
"I... I’m her cousin, Long Shu." Long Shu stuttered a bit. "You can’t just bully people because you have power, or you’ll be taking a life lightly."
"I wasn’t asking you." Yang Ruxin frowned slightly. "In the end, your cousin knows best herself who she slept with, doesn’t she?"
"What does madam mean?" Long Qingye had already made up her mind by now, so her tone was steady. "Are you doubting me?"
"Old Bai, you tell me—does that child belong to you?" Yang Ruxin ignored Long Qingye and looked at Bai Rongguang instead.
Bai Rongguang shook his head. "Madam, although I know Long Qingye and have helped her, and she has also helped me before, from beginning to end I have never taken a single step over the line with her. And every time I met with her, I was never alone—Black Wolf or Water Wolf was always with me."
"I believe you." Yang Ruxin nodded.
"Bai Rongguang, that day you were drunk—on what basis do you say you didn’t do anything?" Long Qingye grew anxious. "Are you trying to force me to death?"
"You were the one who drugged me, weren’t you?" Bai Rongguang’s gaze was razor sharp.
"I..."
"But did you not know that anyone under madam’s command has taken an antidote pill?" Bai Rongguang took two steps forward. "The drug you used did have an effect, but from start to finish I was fully conscious. I did not touch you. The one who spent that spring night with you was another man."
"No..." Long Qingye instinctively took two steps back.
"I pitied you, thinking it’s not easy for a woman, so I didn’t expose you. I only distanced myself from you and even gave you ten taels of Silver, but I didn’t expect you to be vicious enough to come frame me." Bai Rongguang’s tone had gone cold. "If I’d known, I would never have indulged you."
"But when I went over that time, what I saw was you coming out of my cousin’s room with your clothes in disarray. Don’t you dare play dumb." Long Shu jumped up, pointing at Bai Rongguang and shouting.
"Young Master Bai, I know my status is low, but you can’t treat me like this." Long Qingye was crying uncontrollably. "Then I can only die." As she spoke, she rushed toward the wall beside her.
