At the Princess's residence, Shen Jinchen watched as Zhu Yanniang brought over people. After arranging for Liu Jiuyi to stay in the same courtyard as Xiaoyu, he hurriedly went to the government office.

Zhu Yanniang had come with Jun Jianchou. After settling Liu Jiuyi in, she turned and left the princess's residence.

Liu Xiaoyu was initially very happy to see Liu Jiuyi, but then felt a sense of disappointment.

"What's wrong? It's been so long since I've seen my brother, don't you miss him at all?"

Liu Jiuyi, acting like a little adult, flicked Xiaoyu's forehead.

"Mother is missing. Brother, do you think something might have happened to her?"

Xiao Yu stared at Liu Jiuyi with a blank and nervous expression.

"That woman is very capable herself, she'll be fine."

Liu Jiuyi glanced coldly at Xiaoyu and said reluctantly.

"Brother, she is our mother!"

Xiaoyu looked at Liu Jiuyi very seriously and stubbornly emphasized.

“I know! If she weren’t my mother, why would my master have sent me to this mansion?”

Liu Jiuyi checked her fingers and muttered to herself.

"So you can't talk bad about her behind her back."

The little fish said in a cute but fierce way, hands on her hips.

"I understand. I hope Master can find her soon."

Liu Jiuyi looked at the silent people in the mansion and prayed in her heart.

"Brother, you always say one thing and mean another."

Little Fish rolled her eyes and ran inside to play.

Liu Jiuyi hesitated for a moment, then followed closely behind.

After discussing matters with Shen Jinchen at the Wen residence, Wen Qiheng went to his mother's courtyard to find Jun Xiaoqiao.

More than a month has passed since their last argument. Wen Qiheng used to only want revenge and to tease this woman. He doesn't know if she is pregnant with his child or what, but in short, he has come to regard Jun Xiaoqiao as his wife.

As for the things he said during their last argument, he had already forgotten them.

Jun Xiaoqiao, however, had lost her initial enthusiasm. Now, all she wanted to do was give birth to the baby in her belly and present it to the Wen family elders as a way of repaying their kindness in protecting her.

As for whether she would continue her relationship with Wen Qiheng, she had already made up her mind. She was the kind of person who loved when she loved and hated when she hated, and she would never dwell on past relationships.

Caring about Wen Qiheng will only slow down her pace of seduction.

It was the first conversation between the two people after their argument, under unequal conditions.

What are you doing here?

"Look how well you've raised my son!"

After Wen Qiheng casually found a place to sit down, he couldn't help but reach out and touch Jun Xiaoqiao's lower abdomen.

"Take your claws away, I don't need your touch."

Jun Xiaoqiao glared at Wen Qiheng maliciously.

"Why can't I touch my child? Besides, Jun Xiaoqiao, you were so wanton in bed, and now you're only stopping me from touching you? Isn't it a bit too late?"

Wen Qiheng had no intention of indulging this woman, so he still spoke sharply.

"Wen Qiheng, go to hell and get out of here. I don't want to see you."

Hearing him say this, he inexplicably thought of the phrase he had used before, "anyone can sleep with anyone," and his mood plummeted.

She doesn't want to see this person for even a second right now.

"Her Highness the Princess has encountered an accident. You two are such good friends, don't you want to show her any concern?"

Wen Qiheng raised an eyebrow, staring at Jun Xiaoqiao with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

“What could possibly happen to that woman? Her martial arts skills are far superior to mine, and besides, Shen Jinchen is by her side. Unless someone is looking for death.”

Jun Xiaoqiao didn't believe it at all. She knew how cunning Cen Xi was, so she didn't believe Wen Qiheng's words at all.

"Don't believe me? I'll take you out today to visit the Princess's residence and see if what I'm saying is true or false."

With a gentle and refined smile, Wen Qiheng stood up and tried to pull Jun Xiaoqiao along.

Jun Xiaoqiao shoved him away and asked seriously:

"Did that damned woman really get into trouble?"

"Yes, the other side has orchestrated a grand scheme. The Eighth Route Army of the Princes besieged the capital to hold back Shen Jinchen, while they secretly sent another subordinate to lure her to Xiangguo Temple under the guise of the Princess's former lover. They easily kidnapped her. The other side came prepared and their plan was meticulous. Your sister had no choice but to fall for it."

Wen Qiheng smiled and slowly began to recount the process of Cen Xi's disappearance.

"You actually managed to find that dead woman? Get out of my way! I'm going out of the capital to look for her. If she's dead, I'll be all alone in this world."

Jun Xiaoqiao and Jian Wenqiheng didn't seem to be lying. Their eyes narrowed instantly, and they stood up to leave.

Seeing her anxious expression, Wen Qiheng grabbed her arm, his eyes filled with impatience.

"I'm telling you this so you won't act impulsively. Besides, do you think a weak woman like you can save people by running out? You'd just be offering yourself up as a free kill."

"If you don't want me to go, why are you telling me all this? Are you just trying to upset me?"

Jun Xiaoqiao really didn't know which eye of hers was blind to have fallen for such a wicked man.

That's really courting death.

“If someone goes missing, I won’t tell you. When you find out, you’ll blame us. Your mother has been so good to you, I have to take responsibility for you!”

Wen Qiheng hesitated for a moment, then explained.

"Ha! Wen Qiheng, just because my mother is good to me doesn't mean you have to take responsibility for me. What kind of logic is that? I don't understand it. You wouldn't happen to have fallen in love with me, would you?"

Jun Xiaoqiao gave an indescribable smile and stared intently at Wen Qiheng.

"Who would fall in love with you? Jun Xiaoqiao is deluding herself. I, Wen Qiheng, am merely fulfilling a man's duty. This is a tradition of the Wen family. Take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. I've been very busy lately, so I won't be able to come see you."

Wen Qiheng rolled his eyes, uttered a disdainful remark, and got up to leave.

Jun Xiaoqiao looked at this man who had come and gone so inexplicably, and chuckled:

"You're sick, you need treatment!"

However, Cen Xi is really destined for misfortune. There are people in Shangyang City who are desperate to kill her and haven't given up yet. I don't know what the point of killing her would be.

That woman was just a little bit good at fighting and a bit unconventional.

How could that possibly make someone wary?

I really don't understand.

Cen Xi was also puzzled by this question. How could she, a cold-hearted woman who just wanted to give up, become the last straw that broke Yan Taizu's back?

To be honest, she still doesn't understand what use she is to that Yan Taizu.

They'd already fought twice, and she'd never believed in that kind of thing. She really couldn't understand why the other party would try to assassinate her so many times.

They walked and stopped along the way for a month until Chen Xi was taken to a mountain forest.

She thought the other party would kill her with a knife, but instead they locked her in a hut and didn't say or ask anything.

She really wanted to see Emperor Taizu in person, but unfortunately he never showed himself, which was somewhat disappointing.
