Chapter 90: Jian Qjng Doesn’t Want Him Anymore

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Yunxi was unaware of Feng Yili’s feelings. She was concerned about Shen Hezhi’s health at this moment. After all, the fatigue from traveling might affect his health. He was born weak so there was not much she could do to treat his illness as well.

Originally, Shen Hezhi was in better condition. However, a few years ago, he personally led the troops to fight, and his physical injuries made his condition worse. From then on, the King of Xinan’s Residence was on tenterhooks, worried that something would happen to him.

“Brother, come to the medical hall with me first. I’ll check your condition,” Yu Yunxi said worriedly.

“Okay. I heard about your medical hall as well. It’s been a long time since we parted ways. I wonder if that little fellow misses me…” Shen Hezhi said.

Yu Yunxi and Shen Hezhi’s interaction was relaxed and casual. In front of him, it could be seen that she completely removed her guard.

‘There’s Xu Zhiyan from before, and now there’s Shen Hezhi… Although he’s her godbrother…’

The way the duo got along made a certain Prince Regent depressed. After a moment, he said with a straight face, “I’ve not seen Junjin for a long time, and I miss him as well. I’ll join the both of you.”

Everyone was speechless.

Yu Yunxi looked at Feng Yili strangely.

‘Didn’t he see Junjin yesterday? What does he mean by he hasn’t seen Junjin for a long time?’

Nonetheless, Yu Yunxi did not refuse Feng Yili. The Emperor would definitely send people to keep an eye on them now that Shen Hezhi was in the capital. Perhaps, those people would be more restrained if Feng Yili was around.

“Alright, let’s go then.”

At the same time, Luo Xiuran stared at Qian Qing, unable to take his eyes off her. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to ask her why she did not look for him for so many years. However, before he could do so, someone walked up to her first.

Feng Weirui, who had just been beaten up by the Emperor and fined a year’s salary, was already in a bad mood. As soon as he walked out, he saw Qian Qing, who was an old acquaintance of his. He walked over and scoffed. “Second Miss Jian, you left the capital for so many years that the Jian family and I thought you were dead. What? Did you become Xinan’s lackey?”

Feng Weirui’s words were extremely unpleasant.

Qian Qing’s hair was tied up her hair, revealing her small face. There was a small red mole between her eyebrows, and her gaze was cold. She carried a whip on her waist, and her entire person radiated an unapproachable aura. “Prince Rui, I’m no longer a member of the Jian family. If you have any anger or dissatisfaction, please find someone else and don’t vent it on me,” Qian Qing said bluntly.

Just as Qian Qing turned to leave, Feng Weirui said darkly, “Jian Qing, you’ve got guts now. Do you know to whom you’re speaking? How dare you speak to me in this manner?”

At this moment, Luo Xiuran stepped between the both of them. He fanned himself and said with a smile, “Prince Rui, don’t be angry. We’re still in the imperial palace. The Emperor’s not in a good mood, and if you disturb him now, it’ll only add fuel to the fire.”

Luo Xiuran was on Feng Yili’s side. Feng Weirui naturally did not have a good impression of Luo Xiuran. However, he knew that Luo Xiuran had a point. He could not afford to anger his father again at this moment.

Suddenly, someone from Prince Rui’s Residence rushed over to report.

“Your Royal Highness, someone from Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence sent a message. Assistant Minister Yu left behind a lot of evidence. The Marquis and the Princess Consort suggested that you… you return and deal with it as soon as possible.”

Feng Weirui’s expression changed drastically.

‘Didn’t I already send someone to destroy the evidence? What else did Yu Pengtian hide up his sleeve? Damn it! He’s already dead, but he still wants to implicate me!’

Feng Weirui gritted his teeth and left quickly, too lazy to make things difficult for Qian Qing anymore.

In the distance, when Yu Yunxi saw Feng Weirui leaving in a hurry, she understood what had happened. It seemed like Princess Consort Rui had received her message.

Although she did not have much contact with Feng Weirui, she felt that the men of the Feng family were all petty. Since he suffered such a huge loss this time because of her and her son, she assumed that he was going to find ways to seek revenge from her in the future. She was not afraid of him, but she was only worried about her son. For this reason, she could only act first and gave Feng Weirui some trouble.

“Jian Qing…” Luo Xiuran called out.

Qian Jing did not even spare a look at him. She walked past him, making her way to Yu Yunxi. She called out respectfully, “County Princess.”

Yu Yunxi glanced at Qian Qing and Luo Xiuran. She did not expect Qian Qing to enter the palace with her godbrother. It seemed like their speculation was right; Qian Qing should be Jian Qing, the Second Miss of Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence, and her relationship with Luo Xiuran was not simple.

Yu Yunxi suppressed her emotions and said softly, “Let’s get on the carriage first.

Luo Xiuran hurried over and said, “Wait for a moment. I want to come with you. I haven’t seen Junjin for a long time as well!”

Just like that, Yu Yunxin, Shen Hezhi, Feng Yili, Luo Xiuran, and Qian Qing boarded the carriage. It was rather… crowded.

Feng Yili looked at Shen Hezhi with his dark eyes and asked, “Since Junjin is your son, then who’s the mother? Why did Junjin tell me that his mother left him in the capital to look for his father?”

Luo Xiuran’s ears perked up.

‘Indeed. That little fellow said that he didn’t know his father… What’s going on?

Is Shen Hezhi just trying to cover up this matter?’

Instead of coming up with an excuse, Shen Hezhi said calmly, “This is the family matter of the King of Xinan’s Residence…”

“Is that really the case? Or are you hiding something?” Feng Yili asked coldly. He had a strong feeling that Yu Junjin was not Shen Hezhi’s son.

Shen Hezhi’s expression darkened as he said, “What answer does the Prince Regent want from me? Do you want me to say that Junjin is Yunxi’s child? Then… Who do you think the father of the child is?”

Feng Yili’s heart trembled upon hearing these words. Indeed, if the little bun was Yu Yunxi’s sound, it would mean that the humiliation she suffered in the past..

Feng Yili’s eyes turned red as he clenched his hands tightly. Then, he looked to the side.

Luo Xiuran originally wanted to comfort Feng Yili. However, when he saw Qian Qing treating him like a stranger, he sighed inwardly. He could not even take care of himself now, how could he care about other people’s affairs?

Just like that, they continued on their way to the Revival Hall. Each of them had their own thoughts.

After an unknown period of time, the carriage finally pulled to a stop outside of the Revival Hall.

As soon as Yu Yunxi and the others alighted from the carriage, the little bun ran out. When he saw Shen Hezhi, he was stunned. Then, his big eyes turned teary.

Shen Hezhi laughed and asked gently, “Are you still not coming over?”

The little bun flew over and jumped in Shen Hezhi’s arms. He put his hands on Shen Hezhi’s shoulder and asked softly in a childish voice, “Uncle, why are you here?”

Shen Hezhi patted the little bun’s head and whispered, “Call me Father.”

The little bun understood immediately.. Then, he called out, sounding slightly stiff, “F-father!”
