The Whispers of A Baby (Yang Yuting ) Novel

Chapter 16 Treason 

With the Crown Prince’s favour, at least they wouldn’t dare to harm Yating 

Xu Hanran didn’t linger. Yang Mingrui didn’t receive the favour he sought, but he personally saw Xu Hanran off 

Yang Yuting’s one–month–old birthday celebration was extravagant, and Zhang Ling held the banquet for three days to seek blessings for her. 

After the guests departed at night, Yang Mingrui concealed his anxiety, 

“Yuting is only a month old, and you’ve made such a spectacle, attracting so much attention. Be cautious not to spoil her fortune, Yang Mingrui warned, a touch of irritation in his expression. 

Zhang Ling’s expression fell. 

“Why would you say that, Lord Yang? 

“Yuting is the legitimate daughter of the house of Marquess Yang and the Zhang family’s only granddaughter. She’s legitimate, not like those nasty illegitimate children. What’s wrong with having a lavish one–month–old birthday celebration for her?” Zhang Ling’s words irked Yang Mingrui, who clenched his fists. 

Nasty illegitimate children. 

Each word pricked him. 

Zhang Ling knew she shouldn’t provoke him, but she couldn’t help herself. 

Yang Mingrui could only contain his anger. 

Today’s guests were influential figures from the Capital, including ministers who typically showed little regard for him, but today they were more friendly. 

Yang Mingrui’s eyebrows twitched. 

“My love, I’m not blaming you. I’m just concerned that our extravagance might displease the Emperor.” Yang Mingrui thought of Yang Xinru, who was also having her one–month–old birthday celebration.

He felt sorry for his other daughter. 

“We held modest celebrations for our first three sons, and only Yuting’s was grand. It’s just a birthday celebration.” Zhang Ling smiled, liarbouring resentment.

Yang Mingrui spent some time in the courtyard before mentioning unresolved official matters and

Zhang Ling’s eyes reddened upon hearing that. 

She sat by the window, feeling cold inside and out. 

“He had stayed here all day for the celebration today, so I guess he had to comfort his mistress.” Zhang Ling rocked the cradle gently, feeling desolate. 

She wanted to ask him, Have you ever truly loved me? 

After over a decade of marriage, the affectionate couple in others‘ eyes turned out to be a façade, 

“Madam, perhaps Lord Yang has urgent matters, Hu Yue suggested. 

Zhang Ling chuckled softly. 

Hu Yue looked at her with concern. 

Zhang Ling waved her hand, about to rest, when she heard a commotion outside. 

“What’s going on? Why is there a ruckus in the middle of the night?” Hu Yue scolded as she went out. 

“Madam, something’s wrong!” A maid rushed into the courtyard. 

“What’s the matter? Don’t disturb Miss Yang!” 

The maid looked terrified. “The Zhang family is in trouble. 

“The commander of the Imperial Guard surrounded the Zhang family, claiming they were planning treason and had seditious items. They’re under strict surveillance, and no one can come or go!”
