Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Si Yuhcng quickly bought sweet biscuits. However, when he returned to the cell, he saw a heartbreaking scene… Si Shijiang had committed suicide.

“Grandpa, Grandpa…”

Si Yuheng shouted sadly as he knelt in front of Si Shijiang. The sweet biscuits in his hand fell to the ground.

In order to prevent Si Yuhcng from doing silly things, Si Shijiang ended his life. Otherwise, with Si Yuheng’s personality, he would have done something like breaking into prison.

Si Yuhcng only left the cell after a long time. Outside, there was bright daylight, while inside the prison cell, it remained dark. Under the same sky, two extremes existed.

“Grandpa…”

Si Yingzong stood outside Ministry of Justice and waited for Si Yuheng. “Yuhcng, come with me to Shuiyun County?”

Si Yuheng seemed to have grown up at this moment and became much more stable.

He nodded and said, “Uncle, I want to wait until my grandfather’s case is resolved, and he’s laid to rest before going to Shuiyun County.”

Si Yingzong naturally agreed and said with relief, “Alright, Uncle will wait for you in Shuiyun County.”

At the inn.

Chu Xujin had already arranged for Chu Qingzhi’s borrowed soldiers and five constables to return to Shuiyun County. Now, only he and Ge Lihua were at the inn.

Lin Wanning stopped Chu Xujin. “Brother Xujin, where is the Brother who saved me? Can you bring me to see him?”

Chu Xujin looked troubled. “Why do you want to sec him?”

Lin Wanning said anxiously, “He saved my life. I want to marry him.”

Hearing this, Chu Xujin choked on his own saliva. His fifth sister was a girl. How could she marry another girl?

Lin Wanning patted Chu Xujin’s back. “Brother Xujin, why are you so excited? Calm down.”

Chu Xujin coughed uncomfortably and poured a bowl of water to drink.

“Wanning, don’t get your hopes up. He won’t marry you.”

Lin Wanning’s heart sank and she asked, “Why?”

Chu Qingzhi came out of Ge Lihua’s room and went downstairs. “Because he’s a woman.”

Lin Wanning turned around and looked at Chu Qingzhi. “Miss, who are you?”

Chu Qingzhi said frankly, not hiding her identity like how she did to Hong’er, “I’m the person who saved you.”

Lin Wanning was petrified.

Chu Qingzhi walked closer to Lin Wanning and snapped her fingers. “Come back to your senses.”

Lin Wanning could not accept it and shook her head in denial. “How can he be a girl? He’s clearly a man. He’s a man.”

Chu Qingzhi asked calmly, “Can’t a woman save you?”

Lin Wanning quickly explained, “No, no. Sister, don’t misunderstand. I ran away from home because I wanted to marry Brother. Now that he has become Sister, I… I’m homeless.”

Chu Qingzhi didn’t know what to say.

She held her forehead. She was really too charming. Just by pretending to be a man, there were girls who wanted to marry him.

Chu Qingzhi felt that Lin Wanning was quite pitiful and couldn’t bear to see her like this. “You can marry someone else.”

Lin Wanning lowered her head and said in disappointment and helplessness, “Sister, who would want to marry a girl like me? No one would want to marry me.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Why are you belittling yourself? I think Si Yuheng, who came with you, is not bad.”

Lin Wanning was stunned. He was also her savior…

It was too difficult for a weak woman to wander outside without a man’s protection. Chu Qingzhi encouraged, “Seize the chance.”

Lin Wanning came back to her senses and subconsciously replied, “Yes, Sister.”

At the nunnery on the outskirts of Fengxin County.

The little nun handed a few pages to Consort Xin with both hands. “Your Highness, this is the result of my investigation.”

Consort Xin finished reading the contents of the paper with a dark expression. Her eyes were filled with tears. She did not expect her son to be harmed so badly. That First Madam Lin was even more vicious.

She regretted it so much. Why did she let the child stay in the Lin family? Why did she let him suffer?

Consort Xin said, “Go and inform Yingmin to pack up and come to see me. He will never return to the Lin family again!”

She wanted to fight for what her son deserved. She wanted the Lin family to pay the price.

The little nun lowered her head and replied, “Yes, Your Highness.”

The news of Si Shijiang’s suicide quickly reached Tang Jinghong’s ears. He pursed his lips and did not say anything.

Si Shijiang had already told them everything he knew. His life and death were no longer important.

Now that he had a list of all the Level 3 leaders, he was secretly capturing them. There were a total of five levels in the “Yun” faction in the capital. He would be able to capture them all in two more levels.

The Emperor was very concerned about this matter and sent someone to ask about the progress constantly.

At this moment, the addictive incense in the palace had been completely traced down. Yuan Hongjun was secretly destroying it with his men. After destroying it, the danger in the palace would be completely resolved.

Everything was going smoothly.

Changle Palace.

The sun set in the west, and dusk fell. Lights were lit in the palace, dispelling the gloom.

Princess Changle sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. She wanted to tear Chu Qingzhi apart immediately.

Her face was already bandaged, and the left side of her face was all bruised. The right side of her face was better, but it was not much better. Destroying a woman’s face was tantamount to destroying half her life.

Princess Changle gripped the hairpin and viciously stabbed it into the table. The hairpin stuck deep into the table. The way she gnashed her teeth no longer had the dignified beauty of a princess. All that was left was a terrifying ferocity.

“Chu Qingzhi, I must kill you!”

The palace maids standing around lowered their heads, not even daring to look at the princess.

In the inn.

Lu Ziming carefully unfolded the map that he had painstakingly obtained. He looked at the lines on the map carefully with a crazy expression.

As long as he obtained the other half of the Record of Wonder, he would have endless treasures and wealth. At that time, he would no longer have to listen to others and be looked down on.

His mind was filled with the beautiful scene of finding the treasure…

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Ziming immediately put away the map and placed it under the bedsheets.

Then, he sat at the table and pretended to drink tea. “Come in.”

A woman in a white cloak and hat walked in. “Ziming, long time no see.”

The woman was in her thirties. She had a round face. She was dressed plainly, but her temperament was not ordinary.

Lu Ziming could not help but stand up when he saw that it was a woman. “You’re finally here.”

The woman smiled. “When did you get back?”

“I’ve been back for a few days.” Lu Ziming sat down again. “Come and sit.”

The woman took off her cloak and placed it on the chair. Then she walked over and sat on the stool. “You’ve been in the eastern border for more than ten years. I guess you must be back suddenly for something.”

Lu Ziming poured two glasses of wine and handed one to the woman. “Let’s drink first and catch up. We’ll talk about serious matters later.”

The woman drank the wine and put down the wine glass. She probed, “I heard that Madam Xin hanged herself?”

Lu Ziming acted like he was shocked.. “She committed suicide? Why would she commit suicide? Isn’t she alive and well in Prince Rui’s mansion?”
