Cheng Xiaoxiao laughed gloatingly.
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t care about the plotting and scheming. She was simply delighted at seeing Xiaowu disappointed. Served him right for trying to be a smart aleck.
Despite how sensible it sounded, Xiaowu wasn’t as smart as he thought.
No matter how smart he was, Chu Yunshen was always three steps ahead of him. Cheng Xiaoxiao buried her head in Chu Yunshen’s arms and almost suffered internal injuries from suppressing her laughter.
Since Chu Yunshen was unable to see her expression, he was worried that she was unwell and weary from travel or unable to acclimate.
The moment he saw Cheng Xiaoxiao smiling brightly when he finally turned her face around, he instantly realized that she was just being mischievous.
“You’re so naughty.” Chu Yunshen didn’t know what to do with Cheng Xiaoxiao. He sensed a real love-hate relationship with her as he tapped her head. He couldn’t
Cheng Xiaoxiao curled up in Chu Yunshen’s arms and rested her eyes as she wondered what the county magistrate had prepared. Since they had to host a prince, they would probably serve Chu Yunshen with the finest food. Cheng Xiaoxiao snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the sound of fighting. Oh god! Why were they suddenly in a fight?In the blink of an eye, dozens of people dressed in black jumped from the air and surrounded them quickly.Before Chu Yunshen said a word, Chen Fu was so startled that his face turned ashen, and he screamed as he hid behind Chu Yunshen swiftly.He shrank behind Chu Yunshen and didn’t dare to look.Even if he could escape, he would probably be unable to move a muscle.It felt as though his legs were weighed down by lead and incapable of movement.The last two of Chu Yunshen’s secret guards had already jumped over the moment the men
Zhao Yan didn’t give Chen Fu the chance to speak as he pierced his sword through Chen Fu’s chest. Chen Fu opened his beady eyes wide as he got killed. It seemed as though he was asking the killer why he was slaying him.Zhao Yan didn’t want to keep fighting now that Chen Fu was dead. He glanced around to see that Tingzhu and Nongying had passed out from grave injuries and nodded in relief. He took the token from his chest and secretly placed it in Chen Fu’s hand before he studied the situation. Chu Yunshen had done his utmost to protect the lion cat in his arms as he fell into the well. He gently stroked the lion cat’s head affectionately. “Did you have a sweet dream? You ended up drooling.”How could he tease her at a time like this?What drool? Stupid man!THUD!It was the sound of something landing on the ground heavily. Cheng Xiaoxi
Why did she end up stuck down here?“OWWW… OWWW…” howled Cheng Xiaoxiao a few times. Cheng Xiaoxiao was worried about waking Chu Yunshen up, so she purposely kept her voice down when she yelled in pain. It made the scene even stranger.She was done howling. No one could achieve success without pain!Cheng Xiaoxiao rooted for herself!If Ziwei from a famous television drama could withstand Nanny Rong’s clip stick torture, Cheng Xiaoxiao could bear with the pain and climb out of the well too!Wasn’t Chu Yunshen more gorgeous than Ziwei’s boyfriend?The thought of it made her a little motivated. The unconscious gorgeous man and a fierce female ghost would certainly make an odd team. In reality, Cheng Xiaoxiao had considered giving up.Transmigration and rebirth sounded like marvelous experiences.Why did she end up becoming a gh
Before long, Cheng Xiaoxiao had given Chu Yunshen most of the dew on the moss that she could reach while the rest of the moss was unreachable. Cheng Xiaoxiao could only hug Chu Yunshen gently as she comforted him. “Shen’er, I’m here for you. I will kiss away your pain…”Cheng Xiaoxiao kept coaxing Chu Yunshen until she yawned in exhaustion. She was so tired!In order to stop herself from sleeping, she made Chu Yunshen lean against herself as she hummed her favorite songs softly. “I’m a lush mountain you encountered on your way. I only feel free after quietly laying my eyes on you…” A young woman could be heard singing every now and then in the well. Her voice reverberated through the desolate night and made it feel as though they were the only people left on earth.Her soft voice soon went quiet and was replaced by a rapid meowing. The cat’s meows only lasted br
Xiaowu kept looking Cheng Xiaoxiao’s way. “We have set up County Magistrate Chen’s funeral, but his family doesn't seem too sad.”The moment Xiaowu recalled County Magistrate Chen’s women, he could not help feeling a headache coming on.Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know why Xiaowu reacted this way and merely assumed he was poking fun at her appearance now.Stupid Xiaowu! How dare he make fun of her? She would teach him a lesson the moment she recovered.Cheng Xiaoxiao glared at Xiaowu angrily. Xiaowu turned his face awkwardly when he recalled the things, he said about Cheng Xiaoxiao earlier.“After we gave County Magistrate Chen’s concubines some money, they agreed to say that he died of illness.”“Good. Gather all the women in the residence and send them to see me.”Did Chu Yunshen want to summon the women?What did this have to do with the case?Was he trying
“Your savior? Then she ought to be from the county office as well.”Xiaowu felt delighted when he noticed Chu Yunshen did not deny it when he said Chu Yunshen liked her.From the looks of it, Xiaowu got it spot on. Now that Chu Yunshen had fallen for someone, Chu Yunshen had visibly changed and even wanted to share the news with him.“Was that the reason you wanted me to summon the women? But…”Xiaowu’s hesitance even made Cheng Xiaoxiao’s strange behavior halt. It was unprecedented for Chu Yunshen to hurry Xiaowu over personal matters.This was absolutely insane!Cheng Xiaoxiao realized how much she meant to Chu Yunshen, so she promptly continued going about behaving like a crazy cat as she reveled in joy. “Considering her incredible aura, I am sure that those unrefined women here can't compare to her.”“That is true. I did not manage to find her during the past f
Hadn't Chu Yunshen already pointed out the token was fake?Why was he asking Su Ming to verify its authenticity now?Su Ming didn’t refuse him. He told Chu Yunshen without even looking at the token, “Your Highness, this token is fake. It is all fake.”Was it all fake?Chu Yunshen’s voice sounded somewhat profound as he pondered.“Sir Su, let's go.”Now that Chu Yunshen had heard what he came for, he did not linger. He put away the token before he stood up unhurriedly. All of them returned to the justice department with Su Ming under Xiaowu’s care. On their way back, they heard a lot of gossip.“Have you heard? The salt prices in Jin City have risen like crazy. Even the salt prices in the neighboring cities have increased, so I am sure it will happen in the capital before long.”“How can that be? I heard it happened because some of the princes were tryin
Chu Yunshen glanced at Chu Yelin before he retrieved the token from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Qing.Yuan Qing quickly handed the token to the emperor along with the conspirators’ name list that Chu Yunshen got Xiaowu and the secret guard to investigate. Chu Yunshen could sense that Chu Yelin was not pretending when he looked at the token hopefully as though it could save him from this predicament.Instead, there was something amiss with Chu Jinshuo’s expression and his long and narrow eyes were filled with intense excitement.He kept looking at the token as Chu Yunshen handed it over with his eyes glinting imperceptibly.Now that Chu Yunshen had witnessed Chu Yelin and Chu Jinshuo’s reactions, he was even more certain in his heart.Just as he expected, Chu Hongzhen turned to look at the seventh prince kneeling on the ground after he looked at the token.Chu Yunshen continued, “I have a
