Chapter 574: She Didn’t Do Anything Wrong

“Yan Yan, what’s wrong?” Mo Yixuan asked anxiously and with a tinge of confusion. He noticed that she seemed like she had been crying and her eyes looked swollen. Furthermore, where was she? The room she was in didn’t look like part of the castle.

Mo Yixuan’s heart suddenly clenched and his jet black eyes were filled with tenderness and worry for her.

He sensed that she seemed to be upset over something and it was very likely that she had fought with either the Ye family or Ye Hao.

He Xiyan quickly turned off the camera on her end when she noticed that Mo Yixuan had s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone from Yuan Yuan and changed the call to the voice call instead of a video call.

“I’m fine. I’m not feeling too good because I caught a cold. Take care of Yuan Yuan. It’s already late so you should coax him to bed,” He Xiyan’s voice sounded hoa.r.s.e and weak.

“Where are you, Yan Yan?” Mo Yixuan asked worriedly. SHe had only just returned to the castle yesterday, so it wasn’t possible that she had caught a bad cold immediately after her return to the castle. Something must have happened to her.

“Tell me, where are you?” Mo Yixuan asked as he got off the bed anxiously and dug out some clothes from the closet. He would rush over to wherever she was as long as she told him the address.

“Ma ma…” Yuan Yuan finally managed to s.n.a.t.c.h the phone back from his father. When he saw that the screen was black, he kept tapping at the screen, hoping that his mother’s face would reappear on the screen.

“Yuan Yuan, I’m turning in soon. You should sleep too,” He Xiyan’s weak voice sounded from the phone.

She immediately hung up after that and leaned against the headboard of the bed. Her eyes were as swollen as cherries because of how hard she had been crying. Her throat didn’t feel too good either since it was dry and itchy and hurt when she tried to speak.

She tossed her phone aside and her eyes welled up with tears once again.

It was only her child who remembered her at this point in time. She had another child who she should have been spending the Lunar New Year with and staying up together to ring in the nw year with, but she couldn’t even see her own child.

It was such a festive occasion but none of her children were by her side this day, not a single one of them was with her.

As for her husband, he continued to give her the cold shoulder and to date, he had not answered a single call, nor responded to a single message.

She guessed that he must be mulling over their relations.h.i.+p since he did not respond even after she had sent out such a strongly worded text message. Thus, she thought that he must be deep in thought and contemplating how their relations.h.i.+p should proceed, or engaging her in-laws in a discussion on whether they should kick her out of the Ye family.

He Xiyan suddenly pursed her lips and smiled bitterly. No matter how foolish she was, even she understood that she did not have any status within the Ye family. She knew that as long as she made a mistake, they would react like they had done this time, and treat her like a stranger, giving her the cold shoulder and allowing her imagination to run wild.

They forced her to wait for their calls and for their news like a fool.

She was nothing but Xi Xi’s mother to her parents-in-law.

She knew that they were angry because of Yuan Yuan but she couldn’t possibly force herself to cut off contact with her own child. Doing so would be like ending her life.

He Xiyan smiled with resignation when she saw that her phone was completely silent by two in the morning.

She decided to turn off her phone.

She didn’t care whether or not they responded anymore. She would not beg for forgiveness whether it was to Ye Hao or to her parents-in-law because she did not do anything wrong. They were the ones who refused to accept Yuan Yuan from the beginning and allowed the custody of her child to be awarded to the Mo family.
