Yun Xi's face turned red when her inner thoughts were exposed. She simply pulled the quilt and turned away from looking at him.

"Hehehe..."

Qin Mufeng laughed out loud. Xi'er is so cute like this. What should I do? I want to bully her.

Alas! It’s not the right time to endure it any longer.

Yun Xi covered her ears with her hands, but the other person's laughter still penetrated her ears like an electric drill.

Her face was filled with heat, and she knew how red her face was now without looking at her.

She was mentally retarded to agree to sleep with him. She was simply looking for trouble.

Qin Mufeng didn't know the slander in her heart, so he didn't feel anxious when she ignored him.

He stopped laughing: "What did Xi'er want to ask me when we were eating just now?"

Qin Mufeng's words effectively diverted Yun Xi's attention, and she was no longer embarrassed and shy.

She turned around and looked directly into his eyes and said seriously: "I want to ask you, what is the use of those people arresting such a young child?"

Qin Mufeng's heart felt itchy at the serious look in her eyes, and he quietly pulled the quilt over his waist and abdomen.

"Assassins, killers, and those special talents are all cultivated from an early age."

"You mean the prefect of Xuzhou is training killers?" Isn't this ridiculous? How is it possible?

"I just said that it is possible. Besides, even if it is true, the prefect of Xuzhou is not necessarily cultivating people for himself."

The strings in Yunxi's mind twitched, and her reason told her not to dig into the deeper things, because they were not things she could touch.

"Then what are your plans next? Will you continue to investigate the case or will the tax collector return to Beijing to resume your duties?"

Qin Mufeng had a hunch that neither of these two things would go smoothly, and it would most likely turn into a matter of pulling out the carrot and bringing out the mud.

"Let's go and meet with Magistrate Xu first."

"Xi'er, don't you have any other questions to ask me?"

"...It's gone." Yun Xi deliberately pretended to be stupid.

Qin Mufeng felt an indescribable loss in his heart and asked relentlessly: "Aren't you curious about what kind of person I am?"

Yun Xi thought seriously for a moment: "...I'm curious, but curiosity doesn't necessarily mean knowing. Sometimes, not knowing is much happier and safer than knowing. What do you think?" Anyway, let's pass it on.

We divorced within a month.

Qin Mufeng's desire to confess was extinguished.

Yes, the road ahead is unknown and the future is dim. Why should she bear so much that she shouldn't have to bear at this time like myself?

"Don't worry, if something unexpected happens, I will let Long Jiu take you away first," and I won't drag you down and put you in danger with me.

Yun Xi moved her mouth, trying to hold back what she wanted to say.

"Don't you often tell me that Long Jiu's origins are unknown? Why do you believe it now?"

Qin Mufeng choked and smiled helplessly. He was really a little ancestor who liked to be aggressive.

What can I do? Of course, I must pamper the person I like unconditionally.

"I asked Qin Yi to investigate him, and he seemed to appear out of thin air. But how is this possible?"

Yun Xi did not hide the surprise in her eyes. She knew he would check Long Jiu, but...

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I'm afraid you won't be happy. Last time I just said, "I don't know if I'm an enemy or a friend, but you were so angry that you ignored me for so long. How dare I say anything casually."

When Qin Mufeng said this, there was an inexplicable grievance in his tone, which made Yun Xi's heart feel a little painful.

Those bad memories resurfaced in her memory again...
