Divine Doctor Abandoned Girl - Chapter 45
Chapter 45: Sixty Percent Dark Iron
Ye Gu had lived in Autumn Maple town for most of his life. This was the first he knew that there was an underground volcanic crater in Seven Star Mountain.
This volcanic crater had a lengthy history. The lava inside was as hot as fire, and when they placed the ore with rust moss into the lava, the impurities and rust moss on the dark iron ore peeled off like a cracked old tree bark when it met with the golden-red lava.
The size of the dark ironstone was increased by 50 to 60%. Ye Gu took out the dark iron ore and looked at it, his eyes widening.
He was not seeing things, was he? 60%! This was a rare dark iron with 60% purity.
It took only half the time to purify the iron ore with lava, and the composition of dark iron jumped to 60%. Ye Gu had never imagined such an unexpected gain.
This time, if it wasn’t for the Song family using the frozen grass, the Ye family would not have used the lava by accident.
“Hahaha. God is blessing our Ye family. Song Wanshi, you old man. You must be kicking yourself with regret this time.” Ye Gu laughed loudly, his low spirits all gone.
“Lingyue, you are the blessing of the Ye family.” Ye Gu’s eyes flashed with excitement, looking at Ye Lingyue with approval and with bursting emotions.
This child, who was once regarded as a disgrace by the Ye family, had already grown up.
She solved the Ye family’s crisis very well in these two incidents.
Ye Gu sighed as he saw a shadow of his third daughter, Ye Fengyu, on Ye Lingyue.
“Grandpa did you and your mother wrong in the past few years… and made the two of you suffer.”
Ye Lingyue felt a slight lump in her throat. She finally got Ye Gu’s approval.
“Grandpa, these are what I should do. The Ye family took me and my mother in, and I still remember all of your kindness.” Ye Lingyue told herself that the moment she became clear-headed.
Those who betrayed her, she would pay them back 100 times; and those who helped her, she would repay them accordingly.
Although Ye Gu had neglected her and her mother for so many years, he had never shortened their supply of food and clothing. It was just evil slaves who cut in between and made their lives a mess.
“We are all family, so why are you saying that? Lingyue, don’t tell anyone for the moment that the Ye family could remove the rust moss. Song Wanshi just wants to see our Ye family die. This time, I want him to see who will die first,” Ye Gu said menacingly and a fierce glint flashed past his eyes.
Ye Gu asked Ye Huangshu to secretly select a reliable group of the Ye family’s disciples and let them secretly transport the wasted iron ore to the cliff for refining.
This was to be carried out in secret so that they would keep the Song family in the dark.
“Big Cousin, what are you going to do with these frozen grass?” After Ye Lingyue and Ye Gu had separated, she went back to the Seven Northern Hill mine and saw that Ye Sheng was ordering people to transport the frozen grass cleared from the mine cave.
Ye Lingyue had already reminded Ye Fengyun earlier that as long as they removed the frozen grass in the cave, the rust moss on the dark iron ores would slow down its proliferation and then vanish.
So Ye Sheng brought people over to pull out the frozen grass.
“These weeds almost killed our Ye family. Of course, I’m going to burn them with fire.” Ye Sheng trampled a clump of frozen grass.
“Big Cousin, can you give them to me?” Ye Lingyue looked at those frozen grass. There were nearly a thousand clumps of frozen grass. It was not an inconsiderable amount and it was a pity to put them to waste.
“Do you want it? You can take it. It can’t be eaten so what use does it have?” It was getting more difficult for Ye Sheng to see what his cousin was thinking.
He could not understand a word about the frozen grass and even about the lava she mentioned in the cave.
But it did not matter if he did not understand it. Ye Sheng only knew that his cousin was a favorite in the Ye family, and she was a blessing in Grandfather’s eyes. He had to give whatever she wanted, even if it was a bunch of weeds or a pile of gold.
“Thank you so much, Big Cousin. Someone come and send all these to the Qiaochu Wing.” Ye Lingyue took all the frozen grass back to Qiaochu Wing.
As soon as she had gotten back to Qiaochu Wing, Ye Lingyue immediately moved those frozen grass to Hongmeng Sanctuary.
Looking at its master staring excitedly at those frozen grass, Squeaky found it strange. It walked to the frozen grass, opened its mouth, and took a bite.
Who knew that when it entered Squeaky’s mouth, it frowned.
Bah… It was like eating ice and there was an astringent taste. It tasted bad.
“Little foodie, this is not for eating. These are my magic weapons for managing the Song family.” Ye Lingyue grimly laughed.
The Song family had set up the Ye family again and again. If she did not manage the Song family this time, she would not be called Ye Lingyue.
In the following ten days, the Ye family was still smelting numerous 60% dark iron ore in secret.
After keeping watch on the Ye family, the Song family found that there were no movements from the Ye family. They thought that the Ye family was still worried about the waste of iron ore.
“Master Lian, it’s thanks to your idea this time. Never would I have thought that such small frozen grass could bring down the Ye family.” In the Song manor, Song Wanshi and Master Lian were drinking happily.
“You’re flattering me. Master Song, since I promised to help you defeat the Ye family, I will keep my promise.” Even Master Lian was drunk, and beside him were two beautiful maids of the Song family.
He was touching the face of one woman with his left hand and had his right hand around the waist of the other. He had a lewd expression on his face.
“Master Lian, the Ye family’s mine is gone, but when can we get rid of them?” If Ye Gu was still alive, Song Wanshi would not be able to dominate Autumn Maple town.
“Soon. I’ll do it when I get the right opportunity,” Master Lian said. Holding the two beautiful maids in his arms, he strolled to his room.
Song Wanshi smiled, his face was full of flattery.
“Father, how long do we have to wait on this guy?” Song Guangyi had a glum expression on his face. This Master Lian was a greedy man. He had been dissatisfied with him for a long time.
“Soon, we can stop entertaining that after he helps us get rid of the Ye family. But before that, we should be careful of the Ye family. Is the operation of the mine going well these days?” Song Wanshi was also fed up with Master Lian. He was so lecherous that he had secretly seduced his concubines.
Master Lian had made Song Wanshi his cuckold, but he dared not say anything and could only accept it.
“Don’t worry, I am keeping watch. There will be no mistake.” Song Guangyi nodded.
What the father and son of the Song family did not expect was the moment Song Guangyi had vowed solemnly, someone had taken advantage of the night and entered the Song family’s mine unknowingly.
