The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Cen Yuan put his long arms around Shi Anxia.

His arms were long, and she was petite. Holding her in his arms, he could reach out and refill the teacup on the table, then he found another cup, filled it up as well, and handed it to her to drink.

She reached out to take it, put it to her lips and took a sip, having already adapted to sitting on his lap.

She turned sideways, leaning slightly against him.

It was still raining heavily outside the window and the light was dimming.

It was still afternoon, but it seemed like dusk had already fallen.

As the two were talking, they heard Jing San ask from outside, "Bei Hui, is the young master in there?"

Bei Hui was a little embarrassed, "Yes, yes..."

The two masters finally have some free time to talk, but why does one come and the other comes?

Shi Anxia was so frightened that he jumped off Cen Yuan's legs like a light little rabbit. The little rabbit stared at him with wide eyes and whispered, "Next time, don't do it in broad daylight..."

Cen Yuan couldn't help but laugh at the panic-stricken little girl, and couldn't help but pinch her brows with her hand, "You mean, I should come back in the evening?"

Shi Anxia's eyes widened even further.

Cen Yuan's voice softened. "Have you forgotten? You are not the Empress Dowager Huizheng, and I am not the General Weibei. You are my wife now, which is reasonable, legal and compliant. Even if you cannot have sex during the mourning period, it does not mean that you cannot talk to your spouse, right?"

"Hey, how did I know you were so eloquent?" Shi Anxia sat back in a chair beside her, regaining her dignified and elegant demeanor, and raised her voice, "Come in, your young master is here."

After Jing San received the order, he stepped into the house.

He saw that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange, but he didn't know why. Anyway, his young master didn't look very good, but his wife blushed, but her expression was normal.

He didn't have time to think about it, and stepped forward to report, "Ying Liangchen's men took people to Yanluo Lane, and it seems that they want to arrest Xing Mingyue's family. Young Master, Young Master's Madam, should we... intervene?"

Cen Yuan's eyes were dark. "No need. Wait until he proves the kidnapping before settling the accounts. Keep an eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Jing San responded and wanted to leave.

Cen Yuan stopped him again, "Go inform Xing Mingyue and tell him to agree to whatever he hears."

After Jing San walked away, Shi Anxia frowned and said, "Ying Liangchen is crazy about winning, right? Without Xing Mingyue, he can't beat the people around Yunqi Academy."

"What if he wants to use Xing Mingyue to kill the people near Yunqi Academy?"

Shi Anxia's face darkened, "No wonder... you wanted to remind Xing Mingyue."

Cen Yuan said calmly, "Don't use family affection to test a young man's humanity. What if, in a fit of rage, he makes a disappointing choice? Will you forgive him, or not?"

Shi Anxia felt a little warm in her heart, and smiled gently, "You are more soft-hearted than I thought."

"I just don't want to give myself a chance to get into trouble." Cen Yuan drank the cup of cold tea on the table. "If Ying Liangchen's target is other candidates from Yunqi Academy, then he can't stay."

Staying here or there will only bring disaster.

Shi Anxia also frowned slightly, "Since we can't touch the Queen Mother's people for the time being, let's start with Ying Liangchen."

Cen Yuan nodded. "Although this person hasn't done anything more evil, framing Xing Mingyue and kidnapping her family is enough to keep him in jail for life. But..."

Shi Anxia knew what he wanted to say, "But this person is cunning, he will definitely push everything onto others and take all the blame himself."

……

Yunqi Academy.

Jing San braved the heavy rain and hurriedly found Xing Mingyue. He told her the young master's words and left, leaving Xing Mingyue alone standing there in a daze.

His head was buzzing. His family was in Ying Liangchen's hands!

He hasn't even settled the score with Ying Liangchen yet, and Ying Liangchen is here to harm him again.

Xing Mingyue clenched his fists tightly, and his desire to become a military officer became even stronger.

Good people are often bullied! Those who are rich and powerful will always regard ordinary people like them as ants.

Their lives are in the hands of those people and are not worth mentioning at all.

Xing Mingyue only felt her blood vessels dilating, as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, burning with fire, and she felt like she was about to explode.

At this moment, a servant from the academy came hurriedly and handed him a letter.

Xing Mingyue opened the letter and saw a line of cryptic handwriting on it: If you want your family to be safe, go to Fuyuan Teahouse alone.

He held the letter and calmed down.

The huge rock pressing on my chest seemed to be removed suddenly, and the burning fire was extinguished instantly.

What is he afraid of?

Yunqi Academy is his home, and the young master is both his benefactor and his mentor.

He had already acknowledged the Lord in his heart.

Since the young master sent someone to inform him, it means everything is under control. What does he need to be afraid of?

After sorting out everything in her mind, Xing Mingyue arrived at Fuyuan Teahouse as promised.

As soon as he reached the door, someone came forward to greet him, "This way."

I went up the stairs and entered the innermost room.

A middle-aged woman was tied to a chair in the middle of the room with a cloth stuffed in her mouth. It was Xing Mingyue's aunt, Mother Xing.

Xing Mingyue's heart ached, and she strode forward, "Aunt!"

"Hmm..." Mother Xing's heart sank when she saw her nephew coming. She shook her head vigorously, motioning him to leave.

Xing Mingyue glanced at the man sitting on one side of the room and did not stop him from approaching her aunt, so she took the opportunity to remove the cloth from her aunt's mouth.

Mother Xing said anxiously, "Mingyue, don't worry about me! Don't be fooled by these people!"

Xing Mingyue pretended not to hear anything and just said, "Don't be afraid, aunt, I will take care of everything."

While slowly untying the ropes on his aunt's hands, he said in a deep voice, "The Ying family thinks highly of me? First they put me in jail, then they tied up my family! This is under the emperor's feet, and you thought you could cover the sky with one hand in Hong County, Qizhou?"

The man did not stop the other party from untying the ropes on Xing's mother. He calmly brushed off the non-existent dust on his clothes and smiled slightly, "When a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes. After the trip to Beijing, he has become much more confident in his words."

Mother Xing was freed and fearfully pulled her nephew's clothes, trying to drag him away.

Xing Mingyue did not move an inch, and asked in a cold voice, "Where is my grandmother, my parents, and my brothers and sisters?"

The man was Ying Liangchen's personal attendant Yang Guan. He was used to doing things for his master in a majestic manner and always put on airs wherever he went.

He sipped his tea and slowly pointed to the seat opposite him, "Sit down. This is the deal I want to discuss with you today."

Xing Mingyue raised her brows coldly and sat down as she was told.

The other party took out a small paper bag from his sleeve and pushed it over. "Put this bag of medicine in the food of the candidates from Yunqi Academy. You and the candidates who will participate in the martial arts competition tomorrow will eat it together."

"Eat together?" Xing Mingyue understood immediately, "You guys are trying to make me take the blame!"

The man shook his head. "You can't be blamed. You're dead, so no one can suspect you."

"Mingyue, don't do that!" Xing's mother hurriedly tried to stop him, and turned around and cursed, "You beasts! You will suffer..."

Before the word "die" came out, a dagger was thrown out from Yang Guan's hand, brushed past Mother Xing's ear, and went straight into the wall of the house.

Mother Xing was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, unable to move for a long time. She opened her mouth and tried to speak again, but no words came out.

A gleam of light flashed in Yang Guan's narrowed eyes. "You died together with those scholars. I will release all your family members safely. Otherwise..."
