The journey back to Lijing was unexpectedly uneven. Qin Mufeng's personal guards and An Long worked together in a tacit understanding, blocking the enemy's assassination attempts again and again.

What Qin Mufeng didn't know was that the target of those killers was not him at all but Yun Xi.

Everyone returned to Lijing City without any danger.

The Anlehou Mansion was approaching, and Yun Xi's heart became confused.

The previous commitment to leaving a good memory for each other was somewhat shaken.

Along the way, they fought side by side and experienced life and death many times, leaving too many emotional memories of sharing weal and woe in each other's hearts.

Now, whenever Yun Xi thinks about those heart-pounding moments, her heart is tormented.

Sometimes, she even thought that if he could handle the matter with Liu Ruyan, she would not be able to reluctantly change her original decision and take a trip into the troubled waters of Anlehou Mansion.

However, all this came to an abrupt end after they returned to Anlehou Mansion.

Liu Ruyan twisted her waist and appeared openly at the dinner table with a gentle and quiet woman on her arm.

Qin Mufeng frowned slightly, barely visible, and stretched out his hand to take her hand naturally.

The moment his fingertips touched her, Yun Xi moved aside.

Qin Mufeng was distracted, his heart trembled, and he had an inexplicable bad feeling in his heart.

"Let's eat first."

Yun Xi felt sour and bitter. She took his face into consideration and did not do anything rude.

Qin Mufeng felt a little unsure, and it was obvious that now was not a good time to talk.

Facing Jiang Ping's half-smiling eyes, he had to brace himself and pay special attention.

He didn't even need to think about it to know that Liu Ruyan's appearance here so arrogantly and confidently had nothing to do with her.

As for the strange woman who seemed to have excellent temperament and some beauty, he didn't take it seriously at all.

He was careless. He shouldn't have rashly agreed to his father's wedding banquet without understanding the situation.

He was stupid. He should have thought of it a long time ago. As long as Jiang Ping was around, he would not be allowed to live comfortably in the Hou Mansion.

Qin Mufeng's heart went back and forth a thousand times, and he had no choice but to maintain his usual personality and sit down with a smile despite everyone's gaze.

"Thank you, father and mother."

Jiang Ping took the hand of the woman next to her and smiled proudly: "Feng'er, this is your fiancée Bai Shuang. The Holy Father has decreed that you will get married soon."

Yun Xi smiled. The more congested and painful her heart became, the bigger the smile on her face became.

She thought bitterly that if she stayed with someone for a long time, she would really be affected by him.

Look, doesn't she look like the false persona he created for himself now?

Great! This realistic wake-up call came just in time, waking her up from those foolish thoughts.

Qin Mufeng's heart suddenly panicked. He ignored Jiang Ping and Bai Shuang, but looked nervously at Yun Xi beside him.

Just one glance, his heart felt like fire and needles pricking him, but she was actually smiling? Didn't he have any place in her heart?

"Bai Shuang has long heard about the eldest young master's talent and reputation, and today when I saw him, he was indeed well-deserved."

Qin Mufeng did not answer, but turned to look at Anlehou: "Father, Xi'er and I are already married. I forgive my son for not recognizing the marriage granted by the Holy One."

Anlehou looked serious and spoke with unquestionable majesty: "The Holy Father has granted you marriage, do you still want to resist the decree?"

"Son"

"It's nothing but, you and Bai Shuang are married on the fingertips, you can't help but deny it."

Marrying him with his fingertips? Are you kidding me? Marrying him with his fingertips and so on.

Qin Mufeng looked at Bai Shuang in disbelief: "You said your surname is Bai?"

"I'm sorry, I'm delayed because of something. I hope it's not too late."

Bai Chen walked in with a smile and sat down next to Anlehou.

Only then did Yun Xi notice that there was a seat reserved there.

Qin Mufeng's heart skipped a beat, and the thoughts that flashed through his mind became more real.

"Mu Feng should know, my sister Bai Shuang."

"Crack!"

The chopsticks in Yun Xi's hand fell to the ground, and her eyes looked back and forth between Bai Shuang and Bai Chen in disbelief.

She looked at the two three-part faces, her mind filled with confusion.

No wonder Bai Shuang felt familiar to her just now.

But if she is Bai Chen's sister, then who is she?

"Country girls just don't understand the rules, so it's better for us, Shuang'er."

"Auntie, don't say that. Shuang'er also suffered a lot in the farmhouse in the past. Now that I can recognize my brother, and have the honor of being married to Sister Yunxi by the Holy Spirit, it is Shuang'er's blessing.

.”

"Sister Shuang'er, please don't say that. She is just a country girl, a pariah from blood to heart. How can she be compared with you, sister?" Liu Ruyan said diligently.

"boom!"

Qin Mufeng slapped his palm on the table: "It's not your turn to say what happened to Xi'er. In terms of status, you are the most despicable person."

"Godmother, wuwuwu..." Liu Ruyan's eyes instantly filled with tears, and she looked at Jiang Ping with an aggrieved look on her face.

"It's your godmother's fault. You didn't follow Feng'er to explain your identity and let him feel wronged because of an outsider."

A loving mother and a filial son were being staged here, and Qin Mufeng, who looked ashen-faced, was not taken seriously at all.

Qin Mufeng's iron fists were clenched, but his identity and persona were restricted. With everything unclear, he could do nothing but endure.

"Let King Chen see the joke." Anlehou said with a smile.

Bai Chen had a smile on his face, but there was a cold light in his eyes. He looked straight at Liu Ruyan.

"It's indeed a joke. My aunt's standards for accepting adopted daughters really opened Bai Chen's eyes."

"A little humble servant can actually live with the Lord. Who gave you the courage to point fingers at my savior?"

Bai Chen's words were sonorous and powerful, and did not save Mrs. Anlehou any face.

Yun Xi looked at the people next to him in disbelief, his eyes filled with emotion.

"Thank you for your protection, King Chen. I wonder if you are free tomorrow? I have something I want to ask King Chen for confirmation alone."

"If it were anyone else, I would naturally not have time, but you are my savior. As long as you need me, I will naturally be there for you."

Qin Mufeng felt sour in his heart and his eyes were full of jealousy. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have...

Jiang Ping was not angry even after being teased. Instead, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Yun Xi actually saved King Chen's life. From this look, our two families are really closely related. We can kill everyone without stopping."

Yun Xi and Bai Chen had made an appointment to meet, but they were not in the mood to act out in a room full of ghosts and monsters.

"Prince Chen, father, mother, I haven't eaten all afternoon, so I won't be polite to you."

After saying that, she moved her chopsticks directly and started eating heartlessly.

Jiang Ping glared at her with disgust. It seemed that the damn old woman didn't always have such a good taste. At least she didn't have a good taste in picking out her grandson's wife.
