Chapter 1036: Everyone Avoided Han Xue Like the Plague
It had been five days since Han Xue returned home and she had been holed up in her own room over the past five days, only emerging to take her meals.
After she finished breakfast that morning, she did not return to her own room but instead, she knocked on the door to Ye Hao’s room.
“Knock knock.”
Han Xue knocked several times.
Ye Hao had just finished changing his clothes and was about to head out.
He opened the door to find the woman whose actions had made his stomach turn.
He frowned and refused to speak to her. He pushed her aside and made his way downstairs.
“Ye Hao, wait a minute,” Han Xue cried out.
She balled her hands into fists and her heart raced wildly.
No one knew how much courage it took for her to even knock on his door earlier.
Ye Hao finally turned and looked at her coldly, his eyes as hard as knives.
“You and I have nothing to say to each other, Han Xue!” his voice was so cold that it seemed to originate from the depths of hell. It was so cold that Han Xue couldn’t help but shiver.
She took several steps forward and reached out to tug his sleeve. However, the moment she stretched out her hand, Ye Hao stalked off before she could even reach him.
Ye Hao went down to the dining hall and scarfed down his breakfast. Then, he drove out of the house immediately after breakfast as though he didn’t want to spend another moment at home.
Han Xue went downstairs and stood at the doorway with a wry smile as she watched him drive away quickly.
No one was willing to speak to her any longer and the maids would avoid her like the plague and acted as though they had not seen her.

Her mother-in-law Xia Jingshu looked very troubled every day and did not wish to speak to her either.
Han Xue suddenly felt like laughing.
She was treated like an outsider in this house and everyone pretended not to know her.
The police had only suspected her involvement in this case and didn’t they send her home? Why were they acting like she was a murder?
Han Xue felt as though she could no longer stay in this house, so she returned to her room, packed a few clothes, and left this mansion with two bags.
She didn’t have anywhere to go and she didn’t want to return to her mom’s place because she didn’t want her mom to be dragged into this.
Han Xue finally hailed a taxi and directed the driver to a hotel. This was the only place she could stay at the moment but she didn’t know that her every move was being monitored.
She checked in to this hotel and booked the best room in this hotel.
She felt as though she was finally safe and that no one would eavesdrop on her conversation, so she dialed a number that she hardly dialed on her phone not long after she checked in to the hotel.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Yi’s deep and masculine voice could be heard on the other end of the line.
Han Xue let out a loud sigh and said, “I’m in a bad shape. The police took me away the previous time and questioned me for several hours. They had obtained a recording left behind by Wang Lan and that was a voice recording of me attempting to bribe her to harm He Xiyan’s unborn child four years ago. Ye Hao had also listened to this recording, so he’s currently not speaking to me and hates me to the core. Everyone within the Ye family is suspicious of me so they avoid me like the plague and refuse to interact with me.”

Han Xue vented all her frustrations on Ye Yi.
No one else was willing to listen to her troubles at this point in time, so he was the only person she could talk to.
“Have the police found any evidence that Wang Lan has been murdered?” Ye Yi asked. He didn’t seem to be concerned about her current predicament.
“I don’t know whether they’ve obtained any evidence. They released me after they listened to the recording left behind by Wang Lan and got me to admit that I tried to bribe Wang Lan to harm He Xiyan’s unborn baby in the past, so I doubt that they’ve got any evidence at the moment.”

War of Seasons
Dorothea Atlin is the young, apathetic leader of the neutral territory of Sirpo, a chilly land hovering above the continuously warring factions of Sacer and Ghuria, whose devastating magics have ravaged their people and lands time and time again. Following a shocking attack and a cruel deception, Dorothea grows her conscience and takes up arms, using her self-destructive ability to manipulate the flow of time to ensure Sacer’s victory. Her growing understanding of war and the two factions is guided by Iree Nobelis, the determined and enthralling commander of Sacer’s forces, Ariana Kingfisher, a steely swordswoman of mixed Ghurian and Sacerian descent, and Rhys Tamlin, a kind but haunted soldier who goes to challenge Dorothea’s self-imposed celibacy and join her on a mutual journey of healing from the tragic legacies of the Atlin family and wars between the nations. Meanwhile, Dorothea’s only friend and deserter from the Sacerian military, Shark Olyen, returns to their homeland to face the family that disowned them and finds more than they bargained for in meeting Cerid Creed, a noble whose duty to his people clashes with his desires in romance and in life, much like Shark’s did long before. As their developing or preexisting loves and differing convictions on how to achieve peace create rifts between these major players, Dorothea experiences a personal revolution that leads her to fight for what she believes is right, no matter the cost. A slow-burn story that takes time setting up the psychology and motivations of characters for explosive payoff later down the line. Cover by Ben Arisson, who is also a wonderful author on this website!
