Yuan Country, Shui Family.
Shui Yichen sent someone to repair the roof of the study room and arranged for Mingxi to stay there. Although a day had passed, he still couldn't calm down.
It had been four years! He thought that Lu Yaoyao would never come back. These few years, everything he did was to avenge her. He had even given up on himself. Whenever he saw a woman who looked like her, he would want to have her.
She should be back in Yuan Country soon.
He had already lost hope, but she was coming back.
Shui Yichen laughed at himself. Even if she came back, she would be following Mo Rongzhan. There was no hope in the first place.
"Master." A gentle voice came from outside.
"Come in." Shui Yichen could tell that it was Ye Wei's voice. He calmed himself down and resumed his cold expression.
Ye Wei walked into the room and looked at Shui Yichen. "Master, you haven't eaten for a day. I made some snacks for you."
Shui Yichen looked at Ye Wei and his eyes went blank. It was as if he could see her.
He reached out and hugged her tightly as he blurted out, "Yaoyao …"
"Master?" Ye Wei felt pain from the hug, but her heart was clear. Just as she had guessed, the woman in Shui Yichen's heart was Lu Yaoyao.
It turned out that he had treated her as Lu Yaoyao's substitute.
Shui Yichen smelled the fragrance on Ye Wei's body and immediately woke up. Lu Yaoyao wouldn't use such a fragrant rouge. She only had a faint herbal fragrance.
"I'm ready. I can go to Jin Country anytime." Ye Wei hugged Shui Yichen's neck. Even if he only had Lu Yaoyao in his heart, she would accept it. She hadn't fallen for a man for many years. Shui Yichen was the man she wanted. She didn't want to give up.
"You don't have to go for now," Shui Yichen said. Shui Yichen said. Since Lu Yaoyao had returned, it was meaningless for him to ask Ye Wei to assassinate Murong Ke.
Murong Ke wouldn't fall for it.
Ye Wei nodded obediently. "Yes, I'll listen to you."
"You can't stay here." Shui Yichen held Ye Wei's chin. If Lu Yaoyao saw Ye Wei, she would definitely see through his thoughts.
"Then … do I have to leave the capital?" Ye Wei felt a stabbing pain in her heart. Although she had guessed that this would be his arrangement, she still felt disappointed.
Shui Yichen furrowed his brows as he looked at Ye Wei. He wasn't tired of her yet, and he really didn't want to see her again.
She resembled Lu Yaoyao the most he had ever seen.
"There's no need. It's fine to temporarily stay in a courtyard outside the city." Shui Yichen said.
Ye Wei's lips curled up slightly. Fortunately, he still couldn't bear to part with her.
"Okay." Ye Wei hugged Shui Yichen's neck and kissed his ear.
"Go down, I still have things to do." Shui Yichen pushed her away.
A dark light flashed in Ye Wei's eyes. "Yes."
Shui Yichen sat alone in the room for a while. Suddenly, she got up and walked out of the room, arriving at Ming Xi's courtyard.
Ming Xi was currently comforting Shang'er.
"I told you not to eat too many plums. Now you know the consequences." Fire Phoenix was lying on the other side of the table, gloating at Shang Er's misfortune.
"Ming Xi …" Shang Er's eyes were brimming with tears. How would she know that eating too many plums would cause her teeth to ache? She couldn't even chew on meat now, and her teeth were in so much pain.
"Drink the porridge first. Don't bite anything. You'll feel better tomorrow." Ming Xi said with a smile. "Next time, don't eat too many plums at once."
Shang Er nodded pitifully. Looking at the big fish and meat on the table, she let out a loud cry. She could only look but couldn't eat. She was even sadder than when she was at Dragon Bone Mountain.
Ming Xi signaled Fire Phoenix not to laugh out loud. He wiped the tears off Shang Er's face. "When your teeth are better, I'll take you to eat more delicious food."
"Really?" Shang Er's crying stopped abruptly.
"I won't lie to you." Ming Xi gently rubbed her head. He turned to look at the door and asked calmly, "Great General Shui, may I know why you're looking for us?"
Shui Yichen walked out from the corner and looked at the three children inside.
He still couldn't figure out how these three children could follow him for a few days without him being able to catch them.
"Great General Shui, what's the matter?" Ming Xi asked with a smile.
"I have something to ask you. Where's Huang Fuchen?" He thought that Huang Fuchen should be with Ming Xi.
Ming Xi wasn't surprised by Shui Yichen's arrival. He guessed that Shui Yichen would definitely come looking for him.
"Sir said that he has something to attend to and will come looking for me tomorrow." Ming Xi said.
Shui Yichen nodded slightly. He looked at Ming Xi. Because he was Lu Yaoyao's son, he felt very complicated. "Your mother asked you to come to Yuan Country … because of me, right?"
"Yes." Ming Xi didn't hide anything and agreed directly.
"She suspects me …" Shui Yichen laughed self-deprecatingly. "What did you guys hear?"
Ming Xi didn't hide anything. "I heard that you bullied Sir Huang Fuchen and wanted to swallow Yuan Country. You even sent a secret letter to Cheng Zhengan of Qi Country to join forces against Jin Country."
Shui Yichen's face was filled with anger. "Yaoyao believed me? She believed that I would swallow Yuan Country and hurt Huang Fuchen? "
"My mother didn't believe me. That's why she asked me to ask Sir first. If not for the fact that Uncle Wang was in trouble, she would have come personally." Ming Xi waved his hands. Looking at the time, his parents should have rescued Little Aunt by now. "Maybe the matter in Qi Country has been settled and they are on their way."
"You guys … really weren't killed by Murong Ke?" Shui Yichen frowned.
Ming Xi was stunned. "How could we be killed by Sixth Uncle? Do you think that Sixth Uncle killed us on purpose for the throne? "
Shui Yichen said in a low voice, "Isn't that the case?"
"You're looking down on my parents too much." Ming Xi laughed. "General Shui, it's good that Sixth Uncle is the Emperor of Jin Country now. My parents don't want to change. Luckily, Sixth Uncle is here. He takes care of Ming Yu like his daughter."
"I wanted to bring Ming Yu over, but Murong Ke didn't agree." Shui Yichen snorted. If he was the one taking care of Ming Yu, he would also treat her like his own daughter.
Luckily, Ming Yu didn't grow up by Shui Yichen's side! Ming Xi thought to himself.
"You really didn't write to Cheng Zheng?" Ming Xi raised his brows.
"I wanted to deal with Murong Ke, and I also wanted to form an alliance with Qi Country, but there was no need for secret letters," Shui Yichen said with a frown. If he really wanted to form an alliance, he would do it openly.
Ming Xi waved his hand. "Looks like my mother was right. Those letters were just used by Cheng Zheng to deceive my Little Uncle."
Shui Yichen didn't care about Mo Rongyi's situation. "Why did your mother go to Qi Country?"
Just as he finished speaking, someone called him anxiously from outside. It was Shen Luoyang.
"What's the matter?" Shui Yichen asked coldly.
"General, there's news from Qi Country. Cheng Zheng has been killed." Shen Luoyang came in a hurry and was panting as he spoke.
Ming Xi was slightly surprised. Cheng Zheng was dead?
Shui Yichen's eyes darkened. "How did he die?"
"I heard … he was killed by the Heavenly Consort," Shen Luoyang said. "General, did the Heavenly Consort really come back to life?"
