Chapter 3: 2nd Seperation

On the fifth day of the week before the guest visit to Ye Clan Territory, 

Ye Chen watched his mother taken by the Ye Clan mistress's guards, Han Laun Er's eyes filled with tears, and remorse and she hoped that Ye Chaung could take good care of her son. 

'I should have left this place after giving birth to my son but because Ye Clan head insisted me stay in the clan' thought Han Laun Er while her heart filled with sorrow and blamed that time she shouldn't have listened to his words. 

'Now I lost both of my children' thought Han Laun Er with a remorseful face, got in the Carriage. 

A pair of determined eyes glanced at the fancy carriage, moving away from his sight and clenched his fist while feeling agony. Ye Chen thought at least he could able to live happily with his family in this second life but fate gave him a twist that he had to live separately from his family. 

"Where we are going now?" asked Ye Chen in a cold voice to a guard who previously informed them of the order of Ancestor instructions. 

"...." 

The guard didn't talk with him or glance at him, pointing Ye Chen to go into the carriage provided by Ye Chaun for Ye Chen to live in a new place. 

'I am going to miss our house' thought Ye Chen after he looked at the warm little house that he used to live in with his mother and sister. Ye Chen got inside the carriage while he was looking at his home that he may not visit or have a meal cooked by his mother. 

'I need to get stronger....' a strong desire filled Ye Chen's heart and couldn't wait to cultivate Qi so that he could attain immortality and ever-lasting power that no one could dare to make him suffer. 

....

The carriage that Han Laun Er inside was stopped at the magnificent palace which was built for the respected guest, who could visit the Ye Clan to stay while the purpose was unknown. 

Han Laun Er got down while staring at the majestic palace, feeling a little agitated about working as a maid for an unknown person and knew that she was going to visit that person who ordered her to work as a maid. 

"Why are you standing there, Come quickly!" shouted a guard at Han Luan'er who came back to her senses and quickly walked behind the guard. 

They went into the palace as some workers were remodelling the decorations inside the hallway. After a small walk, the guard stopped at the door to a room, Han Luan'er knew whom she was going to meet and after having the incident with Ye Chaun she always wanted to talk to Chu Lingshu because she knew normally a wife never leaves her guard against a woman who had slept with her husband. 

'But what her husband did to me was rape, I never had a liking for him in the first place and this is the time I need to talk with her' thought Han Laun Er while the guard opened the door to let her enter inside the room. 

"Well, we finally met each other," said Chu Lingshu who was sitting in the chair elegancely, Han Laun Er was stunned by Chu Lingshu's presence and the words she wanted to say couldn't able to come out. 

'So this is the woman my husband slept with...' her mesmerizing blue eyes glanced at Ye Laune'r's plump figure, at first Chu Lingshu didn't find it amazing but after clearly looking at the Ye Laun Er's body curves under the maid robe, her busty bosom with no sagging and when it comes to the face there was a black mole near to the right side of the red cherry lips. 

Even with the long black silky hair tied like a bun, the seductiveness never left Han Luan Er who was almost in her mid-30s. 

"I can see you have a nice body, even I am jealous looking at you but have to say maybe he liked your innocence..." said Chu Lingshu stopping speaking knowing her husband didn't even have an interest and got to know finnally what type of woman Ye Chuang liked. 

"Clan Misstress!.... I never loved the Clan Head, I am a widow and have no right for a maid like me to interfere in the scared marriage relationship of yours, even now I am ready to banish myself with my children from Ye Clan" said Han Laun Er while she knelt and hit her forehead to the hard smooth floor. 

"Please my children are innocent, I am begging you Clan Misstress forgive this lowly maid" begged Han Laun Er, tears rolling out from her tightly closed eyes and hoping a light to fall on her children's lives with her begging. 

"As a mother, I can understand your feelings but why is my husband showing a face that he never had when he was with me and what's making him not love me when I am showing true love towards him" shouted Chu Lingshu, an immense pressure pressed on Han Laun Er as blood leaked out from her mouth. 

"Huff~....And I can't do anything because I used Ye Clan's Ancestor token to bring you and work as a personal maid for the guest" said Chu Lingshu stopping her Qi pressure on Han Laun Er who was shocked by listening to those piercing words. 

"What are you saying Clan Misstress....my children?" sobbed Han Laun Er lifting her head while her eyes became gloomy looking at Chu Lingshu with a depressed gaze. 

"This is your punishment for sleeping my husband, you have to be personal maid to the guest while your children have to grow without your care," said Chu Lingshu, giving an emotionless look to Han Laun Er who was trembling while her eyes had no life thinking about her pitiful children. 

"Clan Misstress please I will do whatever you want! Please let me see my children, I am pleading with you Clan Misstress...please my children are innocent" Han Laun Er held Chu Lingshu's foot and pleaded to not be punished for separating from her children. 

"But at least you should be happy that you know your children are safe and sound under good protection," said Chu Lingshu, pushing her leg away from her hold and getting up from the chair. 

"Angg!..." 

Han Laun Er whimpered at the push, glanced at the attractive woman leaving the room and she saw an old woman standing steady in maid's robe. 

"Maid Head Li, you know what to do," said Chu Lingshu as the old woman bowed her head with respect with a nod and Chu Lingshu left the palace to her Mansion. 

"Please stand up, you need to learn a lot for tomorrow's Maid duties because the guest you are serving is different," said Maid Head Li, helping Han Laun Er to get up from the smooth floor. 

Han Laun Er nodded to her with a reassuring and thankful gaze while she began to listen to Maid Head Li's words for tomorrow's duties. 

.... 

Meanwhile, Ye Chen sat in the carriage while his heart was in turmoil after being apart from his dear family. His young sharp eyes gazed at the big mansion which he was going to stay there. 

The guard opened the door for him with an uninterested face which Ye Chen didn't take in his heart as he experienced the unkind looks from the Ye Clan members.

Ye Chen gaited forward while glancing around with his black eyes opened the door where he saw a middle-aged man with a majestic aura shaking Ye Chen after being imitated by the man in front of him. But when he remembered the pain that his mother and sister facing, his fear was gone and a fierce expression formed on his young face. 

"Haha I like you, Son!" laughed Ye Chaun with pride seeing his son giving him a matching gaze on him when he tested Ye Chen's attitude and mentality. 

"You…." Ye Chen looked at the man who called him a son and immediately guessed that the person in front was actually the current head of Ye Clan, Ye Chuang. 

"You brat in the presence of the Clan Head, you are not paying respect" the guard who had been silent, shouted at Ye Chen releasing his Qi pressure but it vanished with a single hand movement by Ye Chuang. 

The guard became silent and knelt in one keen to be ready to get the punishment by the Ye Chaung. After the Qi clash, a cold sweat formed on Ye Chen's face and looked back at the kneeling guard and calmed down his agitated heart while he still didn't show his respect to Ye Chuang. 

'This brat…' guard growled in his heart. 

"You can leave" ordered Ye Chaung, the guard nodded and vanished into thin air making Ye Chen amazed in his heart. 

"Come inside son" said Ye Chuang, walked inside and Ye Chen silently followed behind him as he didn't know what to say to his father who he never met once. 

After seeing the luxurious environment of the mansion, Ye Chen couldn't believe that he was going to live in a place like this and went into a room where there were two soft chairs placed between a table with two cups of hot tea on it. 

"First of all, I am sorry for not being with you after you were born, the situation is difficult for me to help you and for now you are going to stay here and tomorrow onwards you will start Qi cultivation," said Ye Chaung with a slight smile while Ye Chen was feeling awkward in presence of his father as he expected that Ye Chaung would be hard to talk with. 

"What about my mother and sister?" asked Ye Chen, first he wanted to current situation about them so that he could plan accordingly to save them. 

"I know what you are thinking but you should forget about it because I will take care of them with all my might and also, they are not in danger especially your sister was in a good place and as for your mother no one dared to harm her in my presence, I also talked with Ye Ancestor so for now your main focus is Cultivation" said Ye Chaung, sipping the warm tea and assured his son regarding both mother and sister safety. 

"Alright….." sighed Ye Chen, understanding his strength was not enough to save his family and powerless about his fate was made more determined. He later had a few words with his father, maids took care of his needs after his father left the Mansion and silently waited for the morning while his tired eyes closed.
