The woman in red nodded silently. She took out three copper coins and threw them on the table.
Looking at the divination, her brows gradually became serious. She muttered, “There’s a change in the north and danger in the south. It seems that we can’t go to the capital for the time being.”
Mo Yu returned and happened to hear the last sentence. She quickly asked, “Young Master, what’s wrong?”
The woman in red rubbed her forehead. “Let’s go to the Wu Kingdom. That person is in danger. We have to save him.”
She paused and muttered to herself, “As for the north… Forget it, there’s still a long way to go.”

Lord Zhou washed himself thoroughly three times. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but he felt that the smell was still there. He was so angry that he wished he could slap Zhou Qing ten more times.
Thinking that he had wasted enough time here, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
Glancing at Zhou Qing, who had just recovered from his injuries, he ordered coldly, “Call Eunuch Li, we’re going to Lord An Le’s residence.”
At the Shen residence, Yan Tai ran in anxiously and saw his lord teasing Furball again. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “Your Highness, Lord Zhou went to the Prince’s residence.”
He was about to go back and get a change of clothes for Shangguan Han. Just as he was about to leave, he happened to see Butler Wan dealing with Lord Zhou, so he could only go out the back door.
Shangguan Han threw all the remaining meat in his hand into Furball’s mouth and reached out to stroke its head. “So be it. I’ll just say what I said before.”
Furball rolled its eyes in annoyance. If not for its unscrupulous master cutting down on its meat and making it vegetarian every day, it would not have come to please this fool just to earn some meat.
Seeing that there was no meat in Shangguan Han’s hand, he stood up and left without looking back. He might as well go back to his nest to sleep.
Seeing that it had turned hostile, Shangguan Han was speechless.
He looked at Yan Tai, indicating for him to continue.
“I secretly listened for a while. That’s what Butler Wan said, but Lord Zhou said that His Highness couldn’t stay in the mountains forever. He had to return to the residence.”
“He wants to go in and wait until His Highness returns.”
Shangguan Han opened his mouth, but before he could speak.
Yan Tai continued, “Butler Wan said that we can’t let anyone in without His Highness’s orders.
“However, Lord Zhou took out an imperial edict. Butler Wan had no choice but to invite him to the reception pavilion.”
The word imperial edict made Shangguan Han’s eyes turn sharp. He clenched his fists and stood up to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he b.u.mped into someone. At the same time, that annoying voice sounded.
“Little Han, where are you going?”
“Move aside.” If it were any other time, Shangguan Han would definitely have reciprocated and called him Little Qian. However, he was not in the mood to argue with Qian Youde.
Qian Youde was not afraid of death. He reached out to block him. “That won’t do. You have to tell me where you’re going first.”
Shangguan Han clenched his fists and pushed Qian Youde a few times, but he did not move. He could only grit his teeth and say, “I’m going to kill all those people from the capital.”
Back then, an imperial edict in the capital made him lose his position as the crown prince, his maternal ancestor, and his uncle. It made his mother live in the Cold Palace and crippled his cousin’s legs.
Now that he had come to this G.o.dforsaken Xunyang, those people still wanted to chase after him with the imperial edict and lord over his territory.
Qian Youde shrank back in fear. He licked his lips and whispered, “This isn’t good. That’s someone sent by your father.”
“He’s not my father,” Shangguan Han roared with red eyes.
That person was not worthy at all.
Qian Youde was shocked. His pupils dilated. He lowered his voice and stammered, “Then you were born to your mother and someone else? Oh my G.o.d, your mother. She actually cheated on Emperor Chong’an.”
Unfortunately, he was only halfway through his sentence when Shangguan Han threw a punch at him.
Although this punch was not as strong as Shen Yijia’s, it still hurt.
Qian Youde fell to the ground and covered one of his eyes. He roared in exasperation, “You said it yourself. Why did you hit me?”
Why did he have to hit the same spot that Shen Yijia hit him in the previous time? It hadn’t been very long since then.
These people must be jealous of his handsomeness.
“Did I mean that?” Shangguan Han roared back. How dare he slander his mother? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
It was not Shen Yijia. Qian Youde naturally did not want to be beaten up for nothing.
With a sweep of his legs, he tripped Shangguan Han and flipped him over. He punched him in the eye.
It was impolite not to reciprocate!
Thus, the two of them rolled on the ground, punching each other.
Yan Tai was stunned by Qian Youde’s words. By the time he reacted, the two of them had already reached the point of pulling each other’s hair.
“Oh my, stop fighting. Your Highness, Young Master Qian, stop fighting…”
When Shen Yijia returned, she happened to meet Song Jingchen at the entrance of the residence.
“Hubby!” She called out sweetly and pounced on him. Song Jingchen helplessly caught her.
Although he had disregarded etiquette many times because of this girl, he still did not want to be seen by the surrounding people.
However, he could not bear to throw her aside, so he could only carry her into the residence quickly.
“Hubby, did you miss me? Do you feel that I’ve become beautiful again today? Do you especially want to go to Wu Mountain with me?” Shen Yijia asked.
The first part was fine, but the last sentence shocked Song Jingchen so much that he almost threw her down.
He turned around and glanced at Thirty Thousand and South Wind, who had returned with him. He glanced at Mo Yuan and the other two, who had followed Shen Yijia back. The three of them lowered their heads and pretended to be deaf.
In their hearts, they thought, “Young Madam is too unrestrained.”
“Do you want to?” Shen Yijia shook his cloak belt.
Song Jingchen gritted his teeth. “Speak properly.”
He naturally did not think that was what Shen Yijia meant.
He really wanted to beat himself up for explaining things blindly. If this girl went outside and casually said something like that…
Shen Yijia immediately retracted her hand meekly. “Let’s go to the temple on the 25th of this month. It’s on a mountain.”
Song Jingchen thought to himself, “As expected.”
In order to find the missing people, he had been leaving early and returning late every day. He had indeed not accompanied her much.
Song Jingchen blamed himself. Just as he was about to agree, he heard Yan Tai yelling.
“Stop fighting. Stop quickly!”
Hearing the word “fight”, Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. She jumped out of Song Jingchen’s arms and went towards the source of the sound.
Song Jingchen frowned and followed.
He then saw the scene clearly.
Shen Yijia’s eyes widened. The two men were a mess.
“Stop,” Song Jingchen shouted coldly.
The two people who didn’t react even after shouting their hearts out seemed to have stopped.
They didn’t throw any more punches, but they didn’t let go either.
One grabbed the other’s hair, while the other grabbed his ear. They stared at each other.
Song Jingchen said, “Let go.”
