Chapter 530: Past Life Extra Story Six_3
 

Chunniang was horrified, pulling her husband in tears, “How did she know about the scales on Baobao’s back? Could she really be Baobao’s birth mother?”

Jiang Sanlang frowned, feeling a bad premonition.

When he brought Yingbao home, nobody but his own family knew about the scales on her back. Why did the Chen Family insist that their daughter was her?

He turned to his family, “Have any of you spoken about Baobao to outsiders?”

Old man Jiang and Jiang Liu shook their heads, “Sanlang, you’re overthinking. How would we gossip about Baobao’s affairs?”

Jiang Dàlang and his wife also said, “We never talk about Yingbao around outsiders.”

Jiang Sanlang then turned his gaze to his second brother Jiang Erlang and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Leng.

Mrs. Leng guiltily avoided his gaze, refusing to meet eyes with her uncle.

A few days ago, Mrs. Leng was chatting with some women outside. When they casually asked about Yingbao, she blurted out the fact that Yingbao was adopted by her uncle. She was then coaxed into telling them about the scales on Yingbao’s back.

Who would have thought that shortly afterward, someone would come to claim Yingbao?

“Sanlang, since they’ve come to claim her, we should just hand her over. She was never… ” Before she could finish, Mrs. Leng was slapped by her husband Jiang Erlang.

“What do you know?” Jiang Erlang angrily retorted, “The family who abandoned her in the first place has obviously come back with ill intentions. How could you have the heart to say such things?”

If it weren’t for Yingbao, how could their family have been able to buy a house and a household registration in the county city?

Now that Yuanbao and Huzi were studying in school, where did the tuition come from? Could they have afforded it simply by picking medicinal herbs?

This foolish woman, to dare to say such a thing in front of their third brother!

Jiang Sanlang cast a cold glance at his sister-in-law. Seeing her slapped by his brother, he said nothing.

Outside the courtyard, the Chen Family, unable to get an answer from the Jiangs, brought a local government officer and tearfully accused the Jiang Family of child abduction.

Jiang Sanlang had no choice but to step outside to confront them.

Finally, the government officer summoned Yingbao from the Treasure Pavilion. After verifying the scales on Yingbao’s back, the county government ordered the Jiang family to return the child. However, the Chen family was required to reimburse the Jiang family for the cost of raising her, even Wang Jin’s intervention didn’t help.

Although the verdict seemed fair, it completely overlooked the feelings of the Jiang family.

Chunniang was in tears, holding onto Yingbao and refusing to let go.

It was the officer who eventually took Yingbao by force and handed her over to the Chen family.

Yingbao was outraged and aimed a flame at the Chen Family, but they seemed prepared, a stranger, a cultivator at the Core Formation Stage, had her restrained and placed Binding Soul Locks on her wrists.

In the blink of an eye, Yingbao was taken to the Chen’s residence and locked in a dark room.

A group of Chen family members came in, among whom was the old man who intended to take her as his disciple.

Yingbao was furious and wanted to strike them, but she was immobile as she was tightly bound to a black iron pillar.

Several unfamiliar cultivators circled her, checking the scales on her back, drawing her blood, and comparing it to that of Demonic Beasts.

Yingbao, having lost too much blood, passed out. When she woke up, she found herself facing her disgusted birth mother, Mrs. Han.

Mrs. Han slapped a bowl of porridge on the floor and coldly stared at her, “Ungrateful creature, you have some nerve to still be alive after bleeding so much.”

Yingbao squinted her eyes. If it weren’t for the fact that she couldn’t move, she would have loved to burn the Chen household to the ground.

“Eat,” Mrs. Han kicked the bowl on the floor and sneered at the little girl squatting on the ground, “Our dog’s leftovers, consider yourself lucky.”

Yingbao didn’t even glance at her, let alone pick up the food from the bowl.

Her hands were bound behind her back as she pondered on how to break the Binding Soul Lock on her wrists.

Seeing the girl’s defiant attitude, Mrs. Han became even more furious, she kicked her directly in the forehead.

“Han!” Chen Laoshuan entered, hands behind his back, and seeing this, shouted, “What are you doing? Get out!”

Seeing her father-in-law intervening, Mrs. Han awkwardly left the room.

Chen Laoshuan knelt down to Yingbao and said, “Child, I’m sorry you had to suffer. That Jiang family really is heartless, stealing you from our family and causing your parents to search desperately for you.”

Yingbao stared expressionlessly at the old man’s performance.

Chen Laoshuan continued, “Don’t blame your mother. She was just provoked. We brought you home out of kindness, yet you set her on fire. Of course she’s upset.”

After some thought, Yingbao said, “I won’t burn her anymore, so let me go.”

Shaking his head, Chen Laoshuan replied, “The keys aren’t with me. Sigh, we’re doing all this for your own good. Once we are back in Vermilion Bird City, we will certainly set you free.”

Tilting her head, Yingbao asked, “You’re heading to Vermilion Bird City too?”

“Yes.” Chen Laoshuan smiled, “Once we’re at the main house, you must behave well and not casually set people on fire.”

“Alright.”
