Hu Zhongtian felt deeply regretful as he spoke these words.

If he had withstood the pressure from the clan and brought Hu Yan Niang back to the Hu Family, would she have not succumbed to the rumors and fled to distant lands, wandering homeless?

Hu Zhongtian’s voice was choking, but Chu Lingfeng’s voice suddenly echoed at this moment.

"My mother didn’t leave Barbaric City on her own." He looked at Hu Zhongtian, muttering, "I’ve heard from my mother that she was chased away."

"Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left."

As Chu Lingfeng’s voice resonated, Hu Zhongtian was instantly stunned.

"What did you say?!" His voice suddenly raised.

"Chased away? Cough, cough, cough... How... how is that possible?! Who chased her?"

Why did the news he received indicate that Hu Yan Niang couldn’t bear others’ rumors, and hence left while pregnant, with her big belly?

Luo Qingtong also narrowed her eyes slightly at this moment.

"The message sent by that individual was incorrect." Her expression was calm.

She had only suspected earlier, but after hearing Chu Lingfeng’s words, she immediately determined it.

After all, from what she knew, Lady Yan’s resolute and decisive nature suggested she wouldn’t be defeated by a few rumors.

Moreover, she was pregnant with Chu Lingfeng at that time!

For Chu Lingfeng, she endured the hardships of the Dongli Country’s Black Domain Suburb.

There’s no reason she would leave Barbaric City, disregarding the unborn child’s safety, and venture into a dangerous place like the Extreme West Wilderness!

The only possibility is that someone forced her to leave!

If it’s a chase, then it’s clear!

Moreover... the words from the letter sent by the person Hu Zhongtian just mentioned...

Luo Qingtong narrowed her eyes.

"That person should apologize to Lady Yan alone. Why were the items sent to the Hu Family and said to be compensation for them, without mentioning Lady Yan?"

"And, what did they mean by a grave mistake?"

"More critically, if they intended to compensate and knew Lady Yan left while pregnant, why wouldn’t they seek her whereabouts?"

"In any case, they should have appeared at your Hu Family and inquired about Lady Yan’s whereabouts!"

"Unless... he doesn’t know!"

As Luo Qingtong spoke, Hu Zhongtian abruptly stood up, followed by intense coughing and blood spitting.

"You mean someone concealed Lady Yan’s news and pregnancy from him?"

"Not necessarily." Luo Qingtong’s eyes shimmered with a bloody light.

"If it were me, I wouldn’t hide such a matter, because it should be well-known in Barbaric City."

"I suspect... that person informed him... that Lady Yan died! Along with the child in her womb!"

If so, it explains why the man later sent compensation to the Hu Family.

It’s likely that he felt guilty for causing Lady Yan’s death!

"What?! Who? Who exactly harmed my Lady Yan!"

Hu Zhongtian’s eyes immediately reddened.

Luo Qingtong’s words made him suddenly realize.

The person behind it is likely the one who chased Lady Yan away!

Yet, he doesn’t know who the opponent is! Why would they harm Lady Yan!

"It’s naturally the person who benefited the most after Lady Yan’s incident, and must be close enough to her for that man to believe her. And moreover..."

Luo Qingtong’s lips curled into a cold smile.

"The opponent must have also orchestrated Lady Yan’s loss of innocence!"
