The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

"Sir, thank you." Xia Yechen said gratefully, "I understand, I can't let my daughter bear too much pressure. I will lighten her burden and give her more freedom and time to play and relax. "

Prince Jing was very unhappy with Xia Yechen's victory. He had always been proud of his power and status, but now it was taken away by Xia Yechen.

Moreover, Xia Yechen also gained the emperor's appreciation and trust, which made him feel even more dissatisfied and jealous.

"This Xia Yechen is really irritating." Prince Jing said angrily, "He dares to treat me like this. I must make him regret it!"

King Jing's men also felt dissatisfied and disappointed. They had always followed King Jing, but now they lost power. They began to become hostile to Xia Yechen and decided to look for opportunities to retaliate.

At the same time, Xia Yehong had been lying in bed because he was defeated by Xia Yechen, filled with resentment and anger.

He began to feel dissatisfied and hostile towards Zhou Xiaoyuan, thinking that she was Xia Yechen's accomplice and his enemy.

Prince Jing also began to distance himself from Xia Yehong because of this incident. He did not want the emperor to suspect any inappropriate behavior between him and Xia Yehong.

He began to focus on Xia Yechen's affairs, hoping to find a breakthrough in him.

One day, a woman disappeared in the capital. The news reached Xia Yechen's ears, and he immediately sent someone to investigate the matter.

However, despite Xia Yechen and his men's best efforts to investigate, many days have passed and they still have not found any clues.

Those who reported to the official began to lose their patience, and some even came to make trouble. They complained about Xia Xia

Yechen turned a blind eye to their affairs.

"Sir, these people are all unreasonable people." Xia Yechen's men reported to him, "They just want to get some benefits through this method, don't worry about them."

Xia Yechen frowned after hearing this. He knew that such a thing could not be delayed forever. He decided to solve the problem personally, so he came to those who reported the matter.

"Everyone, I know you are anxious." Xia Yechen said, "But please believe me, we are doing our best to investigate this case."

"There are many aspects involved in the missing case, and we need to investigate the clues step by step. Please give us some time, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

After hearing this, the people who reported it calmed down a little. They knew that Xia Yechen was serious and he would definitely try his best to investigate the case.

They gradually began to trust Xia Yechen and decided to give him some more time.

However, at this moment, Prince Jing's people were fanning the flames. They spread rumors that Xia Yechen had not investigated the case at all and had just been perfunctory.

More and more people became dissatisfied with Xia Yechen, and some even began to attack his reputation.

These things reached the ears of the emperor, and he decided to personally investigate the matter. He called Xia Yechen to the palace and asked him about his views on the case and the progress of the case.

In fact, Xia Yechen was already investigating the disappearance case, but he didn't have a clue yet.

Seeing Xia Yechen's thoughtful expression, the emperor asked him to leave and continue the investigation. This decision greatly disappointed King Jing, and his plan did not succeed.

逞。

"I'm really pissed off!" Prince Jing cursed in his heart, "This Xia Yechen doesn't want me to cause trouble for him. It's really abominable!"

At this time, Zhou Xiaoyuan was more certain that someone was behind it. She carefully analyzed all the circumstances and believed that the disappearance case must be related to the mysterious "Night Shadow" organization.

In the next few days, women disappeared one after another, and Xia Yechen's pressure suddenly increased. He traveled day and night, exhausted, and just hoped to find the missing person as soon as possible.

People in the capital have been in panic recently, women traveling alone are afraid to go out, and everyone on the road looks like a bad person. This tense atmosphere made Xia Yechen feel unprecedented pressure.

Zhou Xiaoyuan felt very uncomfortable when she saw Xia Yechen's worried look. She knew that Xia Yechen was working hard on matters in the capital, but she also believed in his ability and determination.

So, she decided to take the initiative to propose to Xia Yechen to share the investigation work together.

"Xia Yechen, I see that you have been very busy with the disappearance case recently, why don't we act together." Zhou Xiaoyuan said.

Xia Yechen looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan and felt grateful in his heart. He knew that Zhou Xiaoyuan truly cared about him and believed in her abilities. As a result, the two began to investigate the disappearance case together.

The few people who disappeared recently were all from the same village, which made Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan feel a little strange. They decided to visit the village together.

In the village, Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan discovered something in common: these missing brides were all about to get married. This made the two of them feel a little shocked and confused.

"Xia Yechen, what do you think about this matter and that mysterious thing?

Is there any relationship with the ‘Ye Shadow’ organization? " Zhou Xiaoyuan asked.

"It's hard to say. We need further investigation." Xia Yechen replied, "However, we can learn some things by asking the village chief."

So, Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan came to the village chief's house together. Faced with their inquiries, the village chief hesitated for a long time, and finally told the truth when Xia Yechen became angry.

It turns out that many years ago, a bride drowned here on the eve of her wedding. They all thought it was an accident. Some people said she was the bride of the river god. There were different opinions.

During their investigation, Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan discovered that this village seemed to hide many secrets. The villagers here are a bit arrogant and always keep things secret, which makes Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan very confused.

"I think there must be something wrong in this village." Zhou Xiaoyuan said to Xia Yechen, "We need to investigate in depth."

Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan decided to stay in this village temporarily for further investigation. However, after nightfall, there was a sudden knock on Zhou Xiaoyuan's door.

"Who?" Zhou Xiaoyuan asked doubtfully.

However, when she opened the door, she found nothing. This made Zhou Xiaoyuan feel uneasy, and she tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

This situation lasted for a long time, making Zhou Xiaoyuan feel physically and mentally exhausted.

The next morning, Xia Yechen saw Zhou Xiaoyuan's face was a little pale and asked her why.

"I kept hearing someone knocking on my door last night, but every time I opened the door I found nothing." Zhou Xiaoyuan said tiredly.

After hearing this, Xia Yechen

He frowned, "It seems like someone is deliberately trying to scare you. It seems that we have touched some kind of secret of this village."
