‘Huh?!’

The little bun dropped the grape in his hand, and it rolled a few times on the ground. His mouth was wide open as he stared at Feng Yili, stunned.

“What’s wrong? Are you dissatisfied that I’m your father?” Feng Yili asked quietly as he looked at the little bun.

“No, no, I’m very satisfied. B-but, but.. ‘

The little bun’s expression was very complicated. He stole a glance at Feng Yili from the corners of his eyes before he asked in a low voice, “Are you sure that I’m your son? Don’t you need to confirm it? For example, a blood test…”

“You even know about blood tests?” Feng Yili patted the little bun’s head. After a while, he said, “There’s no need for that. Apart from the fact that you’re my son, the King of Xinan’s Residence has nothing else to hide from me…’

The little bun felt slightly nervous. His mother had tried her best to hide it, but it was still discovered by his father in the end. His father was really amazing.

Then, he asked tentatively, “Then are you angry with Mother?”

Feng Yili raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why would I be angry with your mother?”

“B-because, because she lied to you…” the little bun said as his voice grew weaker and weaker.

Feng Yili said calmly, “I was the one who let your mother down first. Her reaction is understandable…”

“T-then, will you snatch me from Mother? I… I still want to be with Mother more,” the little bun said, lowering his head to look at the ground. He was extremely nervous.

Feng Yili’s gaze darkened slightly when he heard these words. The little bun was so young, but he was already so sensitive. He said, “Listen. I won’t abandon you nor will I abandon your mother.”

‘It’s just that your mother doesn’t want me…’

Feng Yili continued to say patiently, “I won’t do anything to make your mother unhappy. Naturally, I won’t fight with her for you.”

The little bun finally could not hide his joy after hearing these words. His eyes were sparkling as he called out tentatively, “Father?”

Feng Yili’s heart trembled when he heard this. He reached out, wanting to carry the little bun but found that he was very clumsy and awkward at this moment. He had never been this way before.

The little bun grinned, revealing a few baby teeth as he ran Feng Yili’s arms. Although his father had carried him and hugged him before, it felt different this time. After a while, he asked softly, “Father, should we tell Mother that you already know the secret?”

“What do you think?” Feng Yili asked helplessly.

The little bun laughed awkwardly. “I feel it’s better not to let Mother know

about this…”

‘Otherwise, Mother will definitely think of ways to send me back to Xinan… I really don’t want to be away from Mother and Father…’

“Hmm.” Feng Yili nodded slightly. This was what he had thought as well.

The little bun looked at Feng Yili excitedly and asked, “Father, do you want to know about Mother’s life in Xinan?”

Since his father had acknowledged him, his father should want to know about his mother’s situation in Xinan.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yili shook his head and said, “I really want to know everything about your mother, whether it’s big or small, and what happened all those years. However, I hope that one day she’ll tell me herself…”

‘So that’s how it is…’

The little bun nodded seriously and asked, “Then, Father, we’ll have to get along like before, right? I mean, Your Royal Highness…

After saying that, the little bun covered his mouth and giggled. His crafty gaze was very similar to that of Yu Yunxi.

Feng Yili’s gaze was gentle as he replied, “Mm.”

“Then, Your Royal Highness, where are we going now?” the little bun asked, tugging at Feng Yili’s sleeve.

“Didn’t you say your mother went to Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence? Let’s go and join in the fun.”

After saying that, Feng Yili carried the little bun and easily jumped over the wall

At this time, Yu Yunxi was sitting in the carriage, and she felt inexplicably uneasy.

“What’s wrong?” Qian Qing asked worriedly when she saw Yu Yunxi rubbing her temples.

Yu Yunxi put down her hand and shook her head. “It’s nothing. I just suddenly feel a little uneasy. I keep feeling like something is going to happen…”

“County Princess, you’re worried about my sister’s matter, right? Don’t worry. When we meet my sister later, I’ll speak to her and see if I can find out anything,” Qian Qing said seriously.

“Alright,” Yu Yunxi said with a light nod.

This was indeed one of her concerns. Previously, it was clear that Jian Xing was not willing to reveal the culprit. With Qian Qing’s presence, things should be easier.

In no time at all, the carriage arrived at Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence.

When Yu Yunxi and Qian Qing alighted from the carriage, they discovered that the door was tightly shut. Only one manservant guarded the door.

Yu Yunxi walked over and said, “I have something to discuss with Marquis Jian Zhong.”

The manservant lowered his head and whispered, “County Princess, the Marquis, Marchioness, and Princess Consort Rui went out to pray in the Universal Light Temple early this morning.”

‘Went out to pray?’

Yu Yunxi’s expression turned grim upon hearing this. Jian Xin was very weak now. Why did she suddenly leave to go and pray? Moreover, the Jian family trusts the Imperial Preceptor so they often go to the temple to pray for blessings. Since something like this happened to Sister, it’s not surprising that they went to pray for blessings.”

Whether it was the Jian family, the Luo family, or the imperial family, they all seemed to listen to the Imperial Preceptor a lot in regard to superstitions. However, in Yu Yunxi’s opinion, he was just a charlatan.

Yu Yunxi turned to Qian Qing and said, “Qian Qing, it seems like we have to go to the Universal Light Temple.”

A foreboding feeling rose in Yu Yunxi’s heart again.

Qian Qing nodded. “That’s what I thought as well.”

The two women did not ride in the carriage. Instead, they rode horses and left the city.

The Universal Light Temple was not close to the capital. It took an hour before they reached the temple.

After getting off the horse, Qian Qing walked to a monk sweeping the floor and asked softly, “Excuse me, are the people from Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence in the temple?”

The monk shook his head. “Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence? No.” “No? Are you sure, Mister?” Qian Qing asked with a frown.

“Today is the day of cultivation for the grandmasters in the Universal Light Temple. As such, the temple is not receiving visitors today. All those who came to pay respect to Buddha are asked to come again another day. I’ve been guarding the entrance all this time, and I haven’t seen anyone from Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence,” the monk replied.

‘Something’s wrong…’

According to the manservant at Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence, Jian Zhong and the others set off early in the morning. If the Universal Light Temple was not receiving visitors today, they should have returned to the residence long ago.

Moreover, there was only one road leading to the Universal Light Temple from the capital. Yu Yunxi and Qian Qing did not see any members of the Jian family on their way here.

“Qian Qing, let’s return to the capital first,” Yu Yunxi said solemnly.

‘It’ll be great if Jian Xin and the others are already in the capital. Otherwise…’

Qian Qing knew that the situation was serious, and her heart sank. She quickly got onto the horse and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, the monk called out to Yu Yunxi, “Please wait…”

“What’s wrong?” Yu Yunxi asked.

The monk frowned and said in a low voice, “There’s something wrong with your aura, Miss. I’m afraid you’ll suffer from a blood disaster soon..”
