"I, the Valley Master, am willing to let him suffer losses. Who can stop me? Who dares to?"
"You..." Princess Hua didn't expect her to be so unreasonable.
"Qier, don't be angry. If you don't want to see her, I'll lead the troops to wipe out their small country," Jing Xunche said, looking at Princess Hua with undisguised killing intent in his eyes.
"Jing Xunche, I've already said that we're not familiar. Have you forgotten how I left? Do you think you have the right to show up here and seek attention?" Mu Fengqie looked at Jing Xunche with no trace of emotion in her eyes, as cold as if she were looking at a stranger.
"Qier..."
Mu Fengqie didn't say anything else. She took Heng'er and returned to her seat.
Hong Yi watched as his master was in a difficult situation and felt very bad. When he got back, he would surely plead guilty to his master and urge him to win back his mistress.
Jing Xunche was pulled back by Yuan Yuhan. Princess Hua of the Flower - Filled Country stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
"Princess Hua, please sit back first. The banquet will start soon," Yuan Yuchuan said, asking Princess Hua to sit back. They could deal with other matters after the banquet. With so many people here, he was too embarrassed to get angry.
"Master, isn't this supposed to be a meeting of the three kingdoms? Why are there so many other countries here?"
"The meeting of the three kingdoms only means that three major kingdoms will gather here. Other small countries will also come, but they're just not well - remembered."
"Oh~ Heng'er understands."
Nothing else happened during the rest of the banquet. Mu Fengqie quietly had a meal.
When Mu Fengqie and Heng'er were walking to the palace gate, they were called to a stop by A Ru.
"Sister!"
Mu Fengqie watched as A Ru excitedly ran over and hugged her.
"Ouch, my ancestor, slow down. Don't run. You're pregnant. What if you fall?" Yuan Yuhan carefully followed behind A Ru.
Hearing Yuan Yuhan's words, Mu Fengqie felt A Ru's pulse and found that she was really pregnant.
"You naughty girl. You should be more careful now that you're pregnant."
"Sister~ I missed you. You haven't come to see me," A Ru said, coquettishly holding Mu Fengqie's arm.
"Okay, stop being coquettish. You're going to be a mother. Don't be so childish."
"Let me tell you, pregnant women tend to get tired easily. They're also very sleepy. And when they have morning sickness, they can't eat much."
Although Mu Fengqie was talking to A Ru, her eyes were on Yuan Yuhan.
Yuan Yuhan was extremely nervous. He had really taken good care of A Ru and had never bullied her.
Perhaps sensing Yuan Yuhan's aggrieved look, A Ru glanced at him and then explained to her sister, "Sister, don't worry. He treats me very well. He never gets angry with me. He doesn't dare to." As she said this, she even puffed out her belly.
Since she was pregnant, if he dared to get angry with her, she would run away with the baby.
"Okay, go back with him quickly. If you don't, I'm afraid Yuan Yuhan will come and snatch you from me," Mu Fengqie said, looking at Yuan Yuhan's resentful little look. She felt a bit helpless. Did he think she was going to kidnap A Ru?
After Yuan Yuhan helped A Ru into the carriage, he came back. "Are you leaving after this visit?"
"Why? Do you have something to say?"
"A Ru is pregnant. I'd like you to take care of her. I don't trust anyone else."
"Don't worry. I'll stay until A Ru gives birth."
"Thank you."
"Master, it's Uncle - Master," Heng'er said, watching as a carriage approached in the distance. He recognized it at a glance.
Hearing the word "Uncle - Master", Mu Fengqie's body stiffened for a moment. She remembered that her senior brother had pestered her to study herbs yesterday. Her senior brother had even said that they would continue the discussion after she attended the palace banquet today.
"Senior brother, why are you here? Where's Zhu Yan?"
"Zhu Yan had something to do, so he asked me to pick you up. Get in the carriage."
"Okay."
After returning to the inn, Mu Fengqie went straight into her room. "Senior brother, I'm a bit tired today. I'll rest first. Good night."
Looking at the closed door, he shook his head. If Zhu Yan hadn't told him that his junior sister wanted to play matchmaker again, would he have to look for her every day to study medicine?
He really couldn't understand his junior sister's strange ideas.
At the inn of the Golden - Ear Country.
"Brother, don't you think the child next to Princess Tianlin looks a bit familiar?"
"What do you mean, Sister?"
"I feel that the child looks a bit like my husband." Back then, just after she gave birth, she was chased by enemies. In the process of fleeing, in order to protect the crown prince, she lost her child.
"Sister, don't worry. I'll go and inquire with Princess Tianlin tomorrow. If this child is really yours, I'll surely bring the child back."
If it weren't for his sister protecting him back then, she wouldn't have lost her own child. He had been blaming himself for these years and had been looking for the child, but there had been no news.
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
"Okay."
At night, Mu Fengqie went to bed early. She was really tired after a long day.
When she was half - asleep, she felt someone staring at her. The gaze was so intense that she couldn't help but notice.
When Mu Fengqie opened her eyes, she saw Jing Xunche sitting beside her bed, looking at her greedily, as if he wanted to make up for the three years of not seeing her.
"What are you doing here?" Mu Fengqie was startled by Jing Xunche. Why didn't he go to sleep at night and instead came to her room?
"Qier, I miss you so much. I really do," Jing Xunche said, hugging Mu Fengqie and smelling the fragrance of her body. He felt a sense of security.
"Jing Xunche, what on earth are you up to? Have you forgotten why I left? Or did you realize you couldn't live without me after I left and now you regret it?"
It was too late to regret. She already had the divorce letter. He couldn't make her go back. She was living a good life now.
"Qier, I know I was wrong. Come back. That child of Li Tongyu isn't mine. Lu Yun has already verified it. If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself."
"Also, I've never touched any other woman." So you misjudged me. Please come back.
"Oh, what does that matter to me? We've already separated. What's the use of saying these things now?"
"No... Qier."
"I'm living a good and happy life now. I don't want you to bother me anymore. Can't we just live our own lives in peace?"
"No, Qier, it's not okay..."
"I'm wrong. Come back, okay? I'll surely protect you well in the future and won't let you get hurt again."
"I've already cleared my family's unjust case. We don't have to live in hiding anymore."
