Liu Yueru came to her senses, suddenly pushed Xie Jingrui away, turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.

Xie Jingrui's face was so dark that ink seemed to drip out of it.

Xie Wenhua's fair little hand froze in mid-air, and he looked up at the two people in front of him with a childish look.

There was joy and worry in his dark eyes. When he met Xie Jingrui's gaze, Xie Wenhua smiled and immediately covered his eyes with his chubby little hands: "Father, Hua'er just came here to pick up the ball, the ball."

Xie Wenhua pointed to the small ball not far away and quickly picked it up. He continued with a smile, "I didn't see anything. Father, Mother, you continue."

The words fell.

Xie Wenhua picked up the ball and ran out.

The dust on the ground was also kicked up by Xie Wenhua and flew behind him.

"Slow down." Liu Yueru shouted at Xie Wenhua's back with a blushing face.

After Xie Wenhua ran out of the yard, he stood guard at the door. His bright eyes looked inside from time to time. The ball in his hand was no longer interesting, but he happily punched the air.

After brewing his emotions, Xie Jingrui reached out his hand towards Liu Yueru.

Liu Yueru's face instantly turned redder. She forced a smile and pointed to where Hua Ge'er had left: "Your Highness, I'll go see Hua Ge'er."

Xie Jingrui raised his hand and pulled her back, holding her in his arms. He lowered his head and stared at Liu Yueru with deep eyes and a hint of resentment, saying, "What did you call me?"

"Your Highness." Liu Yueru repeated.

Xie Jingrui raised his hand and gently pinched Liu Yueru's chin, with an evil smile on his face: "Call me Jingrui. If I hear you call me the wrong name, you will be punished."

As Xie Jingrui spoke, his gaze moved downwards, from the eyes to the nose, and finally landed on Liu Yueru's lips.

Liu Yueru's ears turned redder and redder. She turned her face away and spoke stutteringly: "Okay, Wang... Jingrui!"

"Well, Yue'er." Liu Yueru found Xie Jingrui's calling her Yue'er very easy.

"Let's go, second brother will be here later." Liu Yueru reminded.

Only then did Xie Jingrui reluctantly let go of Liu Yueru.

The two walked side by side.

When I arrived at the front hall, Mother Yan had already prepared the snacks and tea and placed them on the table.

Liu Zimo also sat upright on the embroidered cushion, staring at the two of them with scrutinizing eyes.

It's just that Liu Yueru's face was flushed, while Xie Jingrui, who was standing beside her, looked very happy.

Liu Zimo felt something, he pointed at the two of them and asked meaningfully: "You...are you?"

"Second brother, why don't you try the pastries and see how they taste?" Liu Yueru said embarrassedly to stop him.

Xie Wenhua followed behind the two of them and suddenly asked curiously, "Father, does it taste good when it's in mother's mouth?"

As soon as these words came out!

Everyone's bodies froze in place.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked towards Xie Jingrui.

Xie Jingrui curled his lips and said, "Don't meddle in adults' affairs!"

Liu Yueru's heart instantly rose to her throat, and her face was flushed again. She waved her hands and explained: "No, no, nothing happened between us, how could you say such nonsense, Hua Ge'er?"

Liu Yueru looked at Liu Zimo guiltily and was almost scared to death.

Before she could catch her breath, she heard Xie Wenhua say, "That's not right. It was clearly Father who made Mother cry. Then Father couldn't comfort her, so he hugged her to comfort her. Hua'er also heard..."

"Brother Hua!" Xie Jingrui felt amused and helpless when he saw Liu Yueru's embarrassed look, so he quickly opened his mouth to stop her.

Mother Yan and Ye Tao hid aside and laughed secretly.

He walked over to Hua Ge'er, who looked bewildered, and said, "Young Master, I will take you to wash your hands and have some snacks."

Seeing this, Xie Wenhua didn't say anything more. When he turned around, Xie Wenhua and Xie Jingrui looked at each other, and they smiled at each other with understanding.

Wait until everyone has left.

Liu Zimo sat on the embroidered cushion and digested the food for a long time before he slowly came to his senses and looked at Liu Yueru who was still standing there.

He waved at her: "Yue'er, come here."

Liu Yueru looked like she had done something bad, and took cautious steps towards Liu Zimo: "Second brother, we."

Liu Zimo raised his hand and rubbed Liu Yueru's head: "Just follow your heart. No matter what you want to do, Second Brother will support you."

Liu Yueru was slightly stunned.

Liu Zimo turned to look at Xie Jingrui who had already sat next to Liu Yueru, and said with a warning: "No matter if you are a prince or anyone else, if you dare to let Yueer suffer injustice in the future, we, the Liu family, will seek justice for her even if it costs our lives."

Xie Jingrui smiled and looked at Liu Yueru tenderly, "Don't worry, second brother, I won't. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Liu Zimo and Liu Yueru were both stunned.

Xie Jingrui took a big sip of the tea, then looked at Liu Yueru tenderly and said, "After that day, I have been looking for her. This is also why I have been looking for Liu Yunni's birth all these years."

"Did you realize from the beginning that Yun'er was not the person you were looking for?" Liu Zimo asked with some confusion.

“No, I learned about it later from my subordinates. I have tried to contact her before, but my intuition tells me that Liu Yunni is not that person.” When Xie Jingrui mentioned Liu Yunni, a chill instantly emanated from his body.

Liu Zimo's face darkened. He had never realized that a woman like Aunt Zhao would make such a big move.

He told about what he had read about the Northern Frontier's witchcraft: "I read it all in the ancient book, and finally found the story about the Northern Frontier's witchcraft in the last few pages of a very old book."

"I heard that this is an evil magic that can change the fate of a country. Burn seven or eight-year-old children alive in the southeast, northwest and northeast directions of Kyoto. Then place them in the southeast, northwest and northwest directions. In one direction, burn ninety-nine boys. Finally, find a baby girl with an extremely yin fate in the center of Kyoto and drown her. Then this evil magic that changes the fate of a country will take effect!"

Liu Zimo gnashed his teeth as he spoke: "Those people are really beasts. For an illusory thing, they actually destroyed so many children in our Kyoto."

Liu Yueru pondered for a moment and asked in confusion, "But so many children disappeared, why didn't anyone in Kyoto make a fuss? And no one has reported any family looking for their children?"

Xie Jingrui narrowed his eyes slightly: "There is a reason for covering it up, which means those people don't even know that their child is in trouble."

Liu Yueru thought of all those things in Wanfu Temple, and her face turned pale: "Does the prince still remember the treasury in Wanfu Temple?"

Xie Jingrui hummed lightly.

A few people suddenly thought of something, looked at each other, and then stood up suddenly: "Yes..."
