In the Yu Residence.

A guard walked into Yu Wanrong’s room and reported in a low voice, “Second Miss, you told me to keep an eye on the Prince Regent’s Residence. I just found out that the Twelfth Prince has taken a child away from the Prince Regent’s Residence.”

“A child?” Yu Wanrong’s expression changed slightly as she asked, “Is that child the one that Young Marquis Luo always brings with him?”

Luo Xiuran often brought Yu Junjin out so many people knew he had a child by his side.

“This… I’m not sure. There are too many guards at the Prince Regent’s Residence so we can only observe from afar. We only saw the child climb over the wall before he was taken away,” the guard replied with a frown.

“Did you see where the child was taken to?” Yu Wanrong asked again.

After returning from the palace, Yu Wanrong grew even more terrified the more she thought about it. If Feng Yili knew that she had drugged Yu Yunxi back then, he would definitely not let her go. Hence, she told someone to keep an eye on the Prince Regent’s Residence just in case. However, she really did not expect to discover something.

“The Twelfth Prince sent the child to Jade Manor,” the guard replied.

“Jade Manor?”

Yu Wanrong’s eyes flashed, and her lips curled up into a mocking smile. Obviously, she knew what kind of place it was.

“A child who can freely go in and out of the Prince Regent’s Residence is definitely not simple. Let’s go and have a look. Perhaps we might learn something useful,” Yu Wanrong said with a scoff as she stood up and told someone to prepare a carriage to go to Jade Manor.

Jade Manor.

After eating and drinking his fill, Yu Pengtian rubbed his hands gleefully and walked into a courtyard.

“Master, the child that the Twelfth Prince sent you is much better than the ones that the others sent you in the past,” the steward said with a sinister expression on his face.

Yu Pengtian grew even more restless when he heard these words. He patted his belly and cleared his throat before he said, “I understand. Pick a gift for the

Twelfth Prince. Remember, you can’t let the First Prince find out about this.”

Yu Pengtian belonged to the First Prince’s faction. If this matter were to reach the First Prince’s ear, he would not be able to explain himself.

“I understand, Master. If this child dies, we’ll throw him into the mass grave tomorrow. No one will be the wiser,” the steward said.

Yu Pengtian nodded in agreement before he entered the room.

The little bun had been drugged so he could not move at this moment even though he was awake. His eyes widened in fear when he saw Yu Pengtian come in.

“You’re a really good-looking child,” Yu Pengtian said as he chortled loudly. It sounded really unpleasant to the ear.

The little bun warned through gritted teeth, “Don’t come over! Otherwise, my father and mother won’t let you off!”

“Ha, who dares to say anything bad about me, Yu Pengtian, in the capital?” Yu Pengtian said arrogantly.

Over the years, Yu Pengtian had helped the First Prince with many dirty matters. Hence, as long as he did not go overboard, the First Prince would help him suppress the news. This was also the reason why the Emperor knew nothing even though he had killed many children over the years.

The little bun panicked when he saw Yu Pengtian moving closer and closer.

‘Mother, Father, where are you? I’m in danger!’

Just as Yu Pengtian’s hands were about to touch the little bun, the anxious voice of the steward rang from outside.

“M-master, Master, someone broke into the mansion!”

“If they broke in, then chase them out!” Yu Pengtian said impatiently.

As soon as Yu Pengtian’s voice fell, the door was kicked open.

“Junjin!”

Yu Yunxi felt her heart tighten when she saw the little bun lying on the bed.

“Do you know where this place is? How dare you barge in?!” Yu Pengtian bellowed with a dark expression on his face, unhappy that he was being interrupted.

“Kill him,” Yu Yunxi ordered. She was completely enraged.

As soon as her voice fell, she flashed to the side and picked the little bun up. She turned his head to the side, not wanting him to see the bloody scene.

A secret guard brought his sword down, decapitating Yu Pengtian in one swift motion.

Blood splattered all over the place immediately.

Luo Xiuran, who had rushed over, walked in and saw the head on the ground. His expression changed drastically as he asked anxiously, “Y-you… You killed Yu Pengtian?”

Yu Yunxi was not in the mood to talk to Luo Xiuran at all. She could feel the little bun trembling in her arms, and her heart ached for him. She coaxed him in a soft voice, “It’s fine, it’s fine…”

When the little bun was three years old, he was kidnapped by an enemy of the King of Xinan’s Residence. The three-year-old child was locked in a small dark box for two days and two nights. Not only that, but the enemy intentionally made a few holes in the box so he could see and hear the snakes slithering outside the box.

The people from the King of Xinan’s Residence could not forget that night. They still remembered when they found the little bun locked in a box surrounded by snakes. That night, they saw Yu Yunxi killing the enemy in a frenzy. As for the little bun, after that incident, he became afraid of the dark and confined places.

Yu Yunxi held back her tears and kept comforting the little bun. “You’re fine, it’ll be okay. I’m with you. I’m sorry I didn’t protect you well…”

When Luo Xiuran saw that Yu Yunxi’s hands were stained with blood, he wanted to help her so he said, “I, I’ll carry Junjin.”

However, Yu Yunxi said coldly, “No need.”

Yu Yunxi did not care about anything but her son now. She carried the little bun and walked past Luo Xiuran.

“S-she…”

Luo Xiuran grabbed his hair, looking at her in frustration.

‘Isn’t Junjin a guest of the Prince Regent? Why is her reaction like this?’

“Yili, she…” Luo Xiuran turned around to speak to Feng Yili but he trailed off. He saw Feng Yili looking in the direction where Yu Yunxi left with an indecipherable expression.

Suddenly, Feng Yili asked in a strange tone, “Don’t you feel that all of this is…

very strange?”

The time of Yu Yunxi’s return and Yu Junjin’s appearance was too close, right? Moreover, their relationship was too close for two people who had just met not long ago.

“What do you think is strange?” Luo Xiuran asked, furrowing his brows.

Feng Yili turned around and asked sharply, “Jiang Ying, I asked you to investigate that matter in the King of Xinan’s Residence. Any updates?” Jiang Ying frowned and shook his head, “No, Your Royal Highness.”

“We have to find out as soon as possible,” Feng Yili said, not bothered to hide his urgency. He had to confirm his speculation as soon as possible..
