Cui Yun and Cui Ming were pregnant and could not travel, so they stayed in the capital.

The due date is about two months after the Chinese New Year. I thought they would be back by then and there would be no delay.

No one expected that both of them would give birth prematurely. Just one week before Ruan Hong and his party returned, the two gave birth one after the other.

Cui Yun gave birth to Ruan Dongyi after a narrow escape from death, and stayed at home for half a year before going out.

But Cui Ming was not so lucky. She had a difficult delivery and both she and the child died.

When they came back, they only saw Cui Ming and the child's bodies.

Ruan Xinchen was only two years old at the time. Although she had her own thoughts, she could not participate in such things.

I only had the chance to see them once before I was taken to the grandmother's home.

At that time, she felt that her mother's death was suspicious, but she had no evidence.

Mrs. Ruan put the blame on Cui'er, my mother's personal maid, and said that she did not take good care of her.

When they returned, Cui'er had already been dealt with by her.

Later she went to inquire about it and learned that Mrs. Ruan had ordered her to beat him up and throw him into a mass grave, where he died.

Damn it, how can you survive a beating from the family punishment board of a high-ranking family?

She thought Cui'er had died long ago.

I never thought that I would hear news about Cui'er from Chu Li.

"I think you helped me a lot, but I couldn't do anything for you. Knowing that you were worried, I asked you to secretly investigate the matter of that maid. Before... before you got into trouble, there were already some clues. She is not dead. That year, I found a young girl at the mass grave. I think it was Cui Er."

Ruan Xinchen was startled, "Where is she?"

"The person who picked up Cui'er is a traveling merchant. His whereabouts are erratic. It will probably take some time to find his current location."

Even though I couldn't find her, I finally knew she was still alive.

"Will you...really help me?" she asked suspiciously.

"Of course, I said I would help you, and I will do it, you believe me."

Believe you?

Ruan Xinchen thought that the elders trusted you too much and ended up with a tragic death.

"You just said that you did something wrong to me in your dream. Can you believe what you said? Why don't you give me the clues and I will ask the world to help me."

Chu Li: “…”

"How well do you know him? Do you trust him or me?"

"How can I believe you? You said it was in my dream..."

Chu Li interrupted her in a low voice, "I was sorry to you in the dream, Xin Chen, I'm sorry."

Who knows whether his words are true or false? Chu Li was deceived once, and Chu Li believed her.

But she knew that Chu Li wanted to use this matter to entangle her and would definitely not tell her any clues.

The clues were found by his ancestors, which was several years later. Even if he spent money to find them now, he might not be able to find them.

This Chu Li is so evil.

Ruan Xinchen felt that his body temperature was getting higher and higher, his head was aching and he was dizzy, and he was about to give up.

"Okay, I'll trust you this time. Let's talk about it when you find it. I'm leaving now."

She gritted her teeth and managed to stand up without making a sound.

At this moment, the sound of weapons clashing was heard outside.

There were many people who wanted to kill Chu Li. It was such bad luck that I met one of them.

Ruan Xinchen had no choice but to stay.

After a while, Ling Lie rushed in, "Your Highness, it's..." He glanced at Ruan Xinchen and whispered, "It's the second master of Prince Gong's Mansion who came in. He...he wants to find...Miss Ruan Er."

He thought his own prince was crazy, falling in love with his aunt's sister and competing with his cousin for her daughter.

In front of him, he did not dare to call Ruan Xinchen the wife of Prince Gong's mansion, but called her Miss Ruan Er.

"Let him in."

"Send me away secretly."

Chu Li and Ruan Xinchen spoke almost at the same time.

Chu Li looked at Ruan Xinchen.

Ruan Xinchen was dazed for a moment, and he leaned against the wall to stand still. "I can't let him know. Ask him to secretly send me back, hold him back, and tell him that he was mistaken."

She really didn't want to create any more trouble.

But at this moment Chu Li noticed that something was wrong with her.

"Xinchen, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, let me go."

Chu Li tried to stand up, but failed.

At this time, Ling Lie said weakly: "Your Highness, we picked up the second young lady outside the hospital. She seemed to be sick and went to the hospital for treatment."

Ruan Xinchen: “…” Do you want me to say more?

Chu Li asked worriedly, "Are you sick?"

"It's okay, just a little cold, please send me away." She really didn't want to continue to argue, she could not hold on any longer, she felt dizzy.

"No, how can you hurry if you are sick?"

"Come on, send the second young lady to the inner room to rest."

"Ling Lie, go and ask Mrs.

Ruan Xinchen: “…” I don’t know whether I should say MMP or not?

She was so angry that she fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, she woke up again.

I smell medicine in the house.

Through the curtain, I saw several busy maids.

Then I heard the sound of Chu Li and Chu Xuanling arguing in the warm room outside.

The maid noticed that Ruan Xinchen had woken up, and shouted to the outside, "Your Highness, the young lady is awake."

The quarrel between Chu Li and Chu Xuanling stopped, and the next second, Ruan Xinchen saw Chu Xuanling rushing in.

Seeing him, I really feel my soul aching.

Chu Xuanling lifted the curtains, looked at Ruan Xinchen on the bed and said with a smile: "Well, today is a good day. I thought you were robbed by bandits, so I rushed to pick you up, but I didn't expect that you were cheating on me."

These words are very clear and profound.

Chu Li was in poor health, so he was pushed in by Ling Lie.

Ruan Xinchen looked at them and said to Chu Xuanling tiredly, "You misunderstood. I was just sick and came out to see a doctor. Then I fainted and came here when I woke up."

After all, it was Chu Li who got it for her, so he deserved it if the blame was put on him.

"Oh? So..." He looked at Chu Li sarcastically and said, "It was our Lord Zhan Wang who became the flower thief?"

Chu Li: “…”

He was speechless, for the sake of Ruan Xinchen's reputation, he had to admit that this flower thief was guilty.

However, Ling Lie was eager to protect his master and could not bear to hear Chu Xuanling's sarcastic words.

"Second Lord, please be careful with your words and do not slander our prince."

"Oh, slander?" Chu Xuanling screamed, "He's right here, did I slander him? Chu Li, don't be a coward, I ask you, did I slander you?"

Chu Li opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word, not knowing which way to go.

Ling Lie still argued for him.

"Second Master has indeed misunderstood our prince. He is in such a state that he can't even stand up. He is thinking that his body won't allow it. Even if you send the girl to his bed, he can only make everyone drool."

Chu Xuanling: “…”

Chu Li: "Ling Lie, step back."

His face flushed red and he was shaking with anger.

But this useless body only made him anxious.
