This isn't a surprise, it's a shock.

This isn't giving a gift, this is a crime, bro.

Seeing her expression, Ji Yan frowned and said in a fierce tone, "You don't like it?"

Little Radish Head clutched his chest, looking very hurt: "You don't like it?"

Shen Jiao, suddenly having the illusion that she had become a heartless man: "..."

What can she say in this situation?

Naturally, one can only like it.

The fact that Little Radish Head was here was obviously a big problem, and Shen Jiao couldn't imagine how chaotic the Guan family must be.

She sent her maid to find Madam Gu and send someone to the Guan residence to reassure them of her safety, and also said that she would personally send Little Radish Head back the next day to apologize.

Upon receiving the letter, Master Guan and his wife were finally relieved.

Little Radish Head was still just a little kid. After being tormented by the tyrant, he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open. He lay down next to Shen Jiao and slept on his back.

Ji Yan picked up the burlap sack at her feet.

"What is Your Majesty doing?" Shen Jiao asked.

Ji Yan said in a calm voice, "Put it up, hang it on the wall, and play with it during the day."

Oh my, you're quite punctual.

Shen Jiao then understood.

In the tyrant's eyes, Little Radish Head was not a cute child; she was merely a gift.

"How can this be?"

Kidnapping someone else's child and hanging them on the wall—this is utterly morally depraved right at their doorstep.

Ji Yan was displeased: "Why not?"

The tyrant couldn't even tolerate the palace servants who served him, so he certainly wouldn't allow the little radish head to share a bed with him!

Therefore, Shen Jiao racked her brains and tried to persuade Ji Yan.

“Your Majesty, she is still a child. This is probably the first time she has stayed away from her parents overnight. She will be scared and cry if you do this.”

She was trying to awaken the tyrant's compassion.

Ji Yan: "You're right, it's really noisy when someone cries nonstop."

Shen Jiao: "???"

No? Which word of mine conveyed that meaning?

“If it gets too noisy, I won’t be able to resist killing her.” Ji Yan pondered for a moment, then turned and walked away.

Shen Jiao quickly grabbed him, "Your Majesty, where are you going again?"

Ji Yan: "Bring her parents here too."

Surely she won't cry now.

Shen Jiao: "..."
