Jing Xueer in the cradle was so adorable with her big round eyes open, pink lips, grinning, and stretching out her chubby arms.
Ni Yueshan held her and rocked her: "Be good, let mother hold you for a while, then mother will eat."
Jing Yuchen sat aside and asked curiously: "What's going on? Why did you come back so late?"
Qingluan took Xue'er, and Ni Yueshan sat down.
"I'm talking about that. Normally, if I don't come home for lunch and come back after dark, someone will come looking for me early, but this time..."
Ni Yueshan put up her chopsticks, a look of melancholy and sadness on her face. "But this time, ah, I feel like I've fallen out of favor. It's true that when a woman grows old and loses her beauty, she can no longer hold on to a man's heart."
Ni Yueshan has always had a cold personality. When Jing Yuchen heard Ni Yueshan say such words, he just found it interesting.
He acted along, "This prince, my current status is no longer what it used to be. Too many ministers are trying to arrange for me to take a concubine. Those who want to become my concubines are queuing up at the palace gates, all the way to the city gates..."
Ni Yueshan snorted disdainfully, "Even though I've given birth and look much older, I still have my charm. The number of people who want to marry me must be at least three digits, if not four digits."
"Since you and I are both popular in the eyes of others, we should cherish each other even more, enjoy each other, and maintain a good relationship!"
As he spoke, he was about to put his hand on the back of Ni Yueshan's hand. Ni Yueshan immediately withdrew her hand and snorted, "I only said that there are three-digit people pursuing me. I didn't say that I can charm ten thousand people!"
Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes, then picked up her chopsticks and started eating: "I see you're not hungry at all, so I won't wait for you!"
Ni Yueshan didn't want to continue talking to him and started eating.
Jing Yuchen chuckled and had his meal with Ni Yueshan.
After dinner, Ni Yueshan asked, "Is the prince free?"
"Yes?" Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan in confusion. Ni Yueshan had been away with Mrs. Guo for the whole day today, and he didn't know where she had been.
Ni Yueshan smiled slightly: "Then come with me for a ride?"
It was rare for Ni Yueshan to be in such an interest, so Jing Yuchen naturally agreed without thinking.
She followed Ni Yueshan out of the house, but Ni Yueshan asked her to hold her in his arms and climb walls and rooftops?
This special little hobby...
Jing Yuchen didn't know what to say, and finally followed Ni Yueshan's request and flew to the roof with her in his arms. However, Ni Yueshan began to give directions and then stopped at a mansion.
Jing Yuchen opened his mouth to say something, but Ni Yueshan made a gesture to silence him.
Then Ni Yueshan squatted down and peeled off the tiles piece by piece...
Jing Yuchen looked at her in astonishment. At that moment, he knew that Ni Yueshan was here to steal. Her words about wanting to take a walk with him to help digest her food were clearly lies...
Jing Yuchen squatted down beside him, and just as he lowered his gaze, he saw a woman bathing below...
Jing Yuchen immediately withdrew his gaze, but Ni Yueshan was watching with great interest, his eyes fixed on her.
At the end, he covered the tiles and pointed elsewhere.
Jing Yuchen acted as a ruthless worker and took Ni Yueshan to another roof.
Then he asked the question in his mind: "What exactly is going on? Why... did you come here and peek at others taking a shower?"
Ni Yueshan raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "What did you find when you were watching her take a bath?"
Jing Yuchen looked away, a look of helplessness on his face: "I noticed that he was taking a shower, so I looked away very quickly and didn't see anything!"
He lay down comfortably on the roof, looking at the stars in the sky, with his legs crossed, looking quite carefree...
Ni Yueshan said in a very serious tone: "This is a murder case, be serious!"
Jing Yuchen put his hands behind his head and turned to look at Ni Yueshan. His expression became more serious and he said, "I saw scars all over the woman's back."
"Are there new and old injuries crisscrossing each other?"
Jing Yuchen frowned and began to recall carefully.
At that time, there was a bright candlelight under the house, so I could see the situation below clearly, but I felt it was inappropriate to look, so I moved away very quickly, but the back was still clearly visible.
Finally, Jing Yuchen nodded: "Yes!"
"Please help me do something!"
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen, raised her head slightly, and lay down beside him, turning sideways and looking at him.
Jing Yuchen frowned tightly, his expression filled with helplessness: "We are husband and wife, and you are so polite to me? Doing something for you? I don't like to hear that!"
Ni Yueshan stretched out her hand and shook his arm: "Then they can't just say, 'Go and do something for me right away,'"
"Since I've made you work so hard to do something bad, of course you should be polite when you speak."
Jing Yuchen's frown deepened: "...bad things."
Afterwards, a cry of surprise rang out from the originally peaceful Xue Mansion: "Second Young Master, Second Young Master has been kidnapped!"
"Someone come quickly, the second young master has been kidnapped!"
Bian Shan, who was originally being rubbed with medicine by a servant, suddenly changed her expression. Just as she was about to ask the maid beside her if she had heard clearly what others were shouting, a servant came running over and said, "Madam Bian, it's bad, the second young master has been kidnapped!"
Bian Shan quickly put on her clothes, her expression changing: "Where's the thief? Did he leave anything behind?"
The maid shook her head. "At the time, I was taking care of the Second Young Master and told him to get some rest, so I blew out the candles. But just as I blew out the candles, a figure flashed by, grabbed the Second Young Master from the bed, and jumped out the window and ran away!"
Bian Shan's expression changed dramatically. She held her forehead with her hand as if in pain, then she said, "Then search the whole house and yard. Yes, track down the assassin!"
The maid understood what was going on. Bian Shan originally wanted to search around, but suddenly seemed to think of something and quickly walked in one direction.
At this time, Xue Ziyi had not yet rested. He was sitting on the steps in the yard in a daze. When he saw Bian Shan hurriedly coming, he came to his senses.
He stood up, but before he could say anything, Bian Shan angrily demanded, "Did you send someone to kidnap Ting'er? He was only five years old! It was your idea to cover up the crime back then. Why are you regretting it now and taking your anger out on Ting'er? He's so innocent!"
Bian Shan looked at Xue Ziyi with an angry expression, but Xue Ziyi was confused.
"Ting'er was kidnapped? You still doubt me?"
Xue Ziyi looked innocent and bewildered. Bian Shan sneered, "Who else would want to kidnap Ting'er besides you? What use would Ting'er be to anyone else?"
Xue Ziyi also gradually became annoyed: "Then what's the point of me kidnapping Ting'er!"
"You kidnapped him to threaten me! You want me to tell the truth to the Crown Princess!"
