Qingshan Village, at the foot of the mountain
Su Yun stood in the yard, holding her belly, with a worried look on her face.
"Mom, are you sad?"
Jiang Hao noticed that Su Yun was feeling depressed, so he took her hand and looked up at her.
Su Yun raised her hand and placed it on his head. "Mother is not sad. Mother is just worried about your sister."
"Sister?"
Jiang Hao's eyes lit up, but the light quickly faded away.
"I miss my sister too, Mom. When will my sister come back?"
Su Yun sighed, lowered his head, and saw the pointed belly.
The baby in my belly is about to be born, but Wanwan hasn't come back yet. The capital is different from other places. There are many dignitaries there. What should I do if I encounter danger?
“Squeak—”
The door was opened from the outside, and Jiang Zexing walked in carrying a load of firewood. The mother and son stayed in the yard and stepped forward with a smile.
"Ayun, how's the little one in your belly doing today? Is he still making a fuss?"
"He is very well behaved today."
"Before, when Wanwan was at home, she would often touch his belly and ask him to behave. He probably knew that if he didn't behave, he would ignore him."
Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Zexing's face faded and was replaced by worry.
Su Yun said, "Speaking of which, Wanwan has been in the capital for over a month. According to her original plan, she should have returned long ago, but now..."
Jiang Zexing stepped forward and held her hand.
"Aqi is here too. I believe he will protect Wanwan."
"Besides, our daughter is blessed with good fortune, so she will be fine. She hasn't come back yet, so of course she's been delayed. She should be back in two days."
Although he said this, the sadness in Jiang Zexing's eyes did not diminish at all.
He didn't even notice that he was holding Su Yun's hand with a lot more strength.
Su Yun didn't say anything and let him hold it.
Prince of Yue's Palace
"Jiang Yue still refuses to speak?"
Shen Qiwen sneered, "She wanted to use this to negotiate terms, but she didn't know that Huo Jiuyu didn't let her know too much about the Zhennan Palace. What she knew was all irrelevant."
"But she still acts so superior and uses this as a threat."
"But doesn't Huo Jiuyu value Jiang Yue very much? How could she not know anything about it?"
Jiang Wan was shocked by this.
"Jiang Yue was foolish and arrogant. She approached Huo Jiuyu, claiming she had already gained the upper hand from the start. Little did she know that Huo Jiuyu was using her, hoping to expand his own power by exploiting the opportunities she knew about."
"However, not everything Jiang Yue predicted was accurate. Later, she found a man named Mu Hong to work for her. This man was cruel and would do anything to achieve his goals."
"Mu Hong?"
Jiang Wan was stunned.
Shen Qiwen was also surprised by this. After all, there was not only one person named Mu Hong. The person he met at Jiang's house was also called Mu Hong and was Jiang Li's teacher.
However, the two people have different names and their personalities and behaviors are completely different.
"Before, when I heard about this, I was just shocked. Later I learned that although the two people have the same name, they are not the same person."
"Jiang Yue used this person to make a lot of money. In addition, the Liang family in Baiyun Town's Jiuquan Immortal was created by her."
Jiang Wan should know about the Liang family's affairs.
"Now the two are being held together. When Mu Hong saw Jiang Yue being arrested, he explained everything clearly."
"At first, he was like a beggar, begging in the town. Jiang Yue suddenly appeared and found him, saying that she would give him wealth and glory, so he followed her."
Suddenly? In town?
She looked up suddenly. "Did he say where it was?"
"But it seems to be in the most secluded alley in town."
Jiang Wan understood, "So that's how it is."
"What?" Shen Qiwen was puzzled.
"When I first met Uncle Mu, it was also in an alley in town. There were few people there, but it wasn't the most remote place. Uncle Mu's name is also Mu Hong. Could it be that... from the very beginning... the person Jiang Yue wanted to find was Uncle Mu?"
"It seems possible."
Shen Qiwen nodded, and combined with what she had said about foreseeing the future...
Mu Hong, Mu Hong, she only knew to look for this person, but she didn’t know who it was?
"Once we meet Jiang Yue, everything will be revealed."
The damp dungeon smelled of decay.
The walls were completely dark, with a few beams of light struggling to shine through the narrow windows. Behind rows of solid iron bars were several ragged prisoners.
The sound of footsteps was particularly obvious in the open and humid environment.
Walking to a cell in the far corner, I saw a man huddled in the corner, his hair disheveled and his face dirty, with bloodstains on his prison uniform that were very conspicuous.
The footsteps stopped and the person inside looked up.
"Jiang Wan!"
A sharp cry came from Jiang Yue's throat, and she stared at her intently.
"Why?! I am clearly the protagonist of this world. Why are you, someone who should have died long ago, still alive?"
She didn't believe it. She was obviously the protagonist. She came from outside the book and knew the ending of this world. Could it be that Jiang Wan could defeat her with just her own luck?
Jiang Wan didn't say anything. He waited until her roar gradually weakened before stepping forward.
"Jiang Yue, I had no intention of competing with you, but from the very beginning you wouldn't let my family go, and even wanted to kill us!"
"If you weren't so greedy, you wouldn't have come to this!"
"Haha, greedy? Your ending is just because you are not strong enough. Why do you blame me?"
