The beloved baby has a space

Prefect Cheng was originally an official in a prosperous area, but he was promoted in name only and demoted in reality because he offended his superiors. Fengming City was a mixed bag of people and was very difficult to manage.

He is mediocre in ability, but he is good at surviving, and he has managed to get by since taking office.

Cheng Yuhe didn't care about any of this. She was disguised as a man and mingled in Fengming Academy, and it was Prefect Cheng who was helping her.

However, a year ago, various rumors began to circulate in Fengming City.

“Some people say there is a great treasure in Fengming City, and many high-ranking officials have come to test it, but my father has stopped them all,” Cheng Yuhe said.

"Some people also said that Fengming City had long been controlled by the remnants of the previous dynasty, and even the prefect was one of their men. This infuriated my father. He was usually mild-mannered, but he arrested several groups of people who spread the rumors and sentenced them to immediate execution."

"While this deterred the rumors, it also truly angered the remnants of the previous dynasty who were hiding in the shadows."

“Fengming City is a border city and borders the former Dongmo Kingdom. It is inevitable that there are remnants of the previous dynasty. As the governor, Father, you cannot slaughter all the former people of other countries.”

"He wasn't exactly a good official, but at least he was loyal to the emperor and loved his country, so the remnants of the previous dynasty never thought of forming an alliance with him. However, he quietly infiltrated the major academies, and the headmaster of Fengming Academy was secretly replaced. More than half of the students in Fengming City were deceived."

"Six months ago, a fortune teller came to Fengming City, claiming that Dachang would be ruled by a woman, and that Fengming City would be the beginning of it all."

"My father was so frightened that he killed him that very night. To prevent the secret from being leaked, he also detained innocent people involved. My mother, brothers and sisters and I were all confined to our homes. But somehow the news leaked out."

"After that, a proverb began to circulate in the city: When the phoenix rises in the west, the world prospers. When chaos arises, a goddess descends. When families fall, nations perish."

At this point, Cheng Yuhe still looked distressed: "Once these words were spread, they couldn't be stopped. Because their meaning was not difficult to understand, they were gradually spread among the people, and soon the whole city knew about them."

"To quell the rumors, Father and a group of officials were extremely busy, and they also had to deal with the assessments and inspections from various government offices from time to time. Before long, people began to disappear one after another in Fengming City. At first, they were just widowers, widowers, and lonely people, so it was not easy to notice. It was not until people from wealthy families also disappeared that Father took it seriously."

“My classmates and I also sensed something was wrong. The proverb was clearly meant to throw Dachang into chaos. We investigated in secret, and the clues pointed to a large amount of treasure within Fengming City, right in the city.”

"Later, we followed the clues and came to this place. When we came, we passed through a mountainside. Every time we walked, a section of the mountainside would collapse until we were completely forced into this old city in the mountains."

Cheng Yuhe was still shaken, her face grave: "Heroine, we have been in this old city for six months. There is the power of Qimen Dunjia here, and no one who enters can leave."

After listening to her, Ayu nodded and asked, "Do you want to find out the truth, or do you want to find the treasure?"

“Treasures are nothing more than money; having too much of them is of no benefit and may even bring trouble.”

Cheng Yuhe looked down and saw a group of students still arguing about who should be sacrificed. Zheng Lin, as the core member, was gradually losing his authority.

Her eyes were filled with hatred.

[Baby, she and Zheng Lin have a predestined connection.]

Suddenly, Tuanzi spoke up. It fiddled with the character clues it saw and opened the page to show Ayu.

Ayu glanced at it and saw that it was indeed so.

Zheng Lin was the eldest son of a concubine in the Rongqing Marquis's mansion, and in terms of status, he was better than Cheng Yuhe.

However, the Rongqing Marquis's family was a declining noble family, and only Zheng Lin seemed to have some potential, but not much.

The couple's marriage is described as "arranged marriage since birth" and "childhood sweethearts".

[Zheng Lin even threatened to kill her; I thought they had some deep-seated grudge.]

Oh dear, not all childhood sweethearts are named Qin Huai.

Right, baby?

Tuanzi loved Qin Huai because of his love for the baby, especially the one he had watched grow up, and he cherished the baby dearly.

Ayu thought to herself, "This isn't right."

【Um? 】

“Priceless treasures are easy to find, but a loving husband is hard to come by,” Ayu said. “It is not right to entrust your future to anyone.”

The functions that Tuanzi has now unlocked are very complex. Some of them were obtained by it from the source space, some were purchased from the Guardian's exclusive shop, and some were benefits that it received by following Ayu in completing tasks.

In short, it now has a wide range of functions.

Tuanzi rummaged around for a bit and realized that Ayu was right.

Before this incident, Zheng Lin and Cheng Yuhe's relationship was incredibly strong.

An eldest son born out of wedlock, whose status is awkward, yet whose talents are exceptional within the family. A loving couple, yet they have an illegitimate daughter.

The hardships of growing up are best left unsaid to outsiders.

Even in the first four months after entering this old city, Zheng Lin risked his life to protect Cheng Yuhe.

Until their mutual friend died, and Cheng Yuhe revealed her female identity for Zheng Lin's sake, those self-important students began to reveal their beastly nature.

Zheng Lin suggested that she be used as a sacrifice. He privately cried and told Cheng Yuhe that only in this way could her innocence be preserved.

Initially, Cheng Yuhe believed it too.

She was bled dry every day and forced to eat cannibalistic rats; she no longer wanted to live.

Zheng Lin said to her, "If you live, I can protect your innocence. If you die, don't blame me if they do anything to your body."

He wasn't really concerned about her being humiliated, but rather that she couldn't be humiliated as "Zheng Lin's fiancée".

It embarrassed him.

When Cheng Yuhe saw the madness in his eyes, her heart turned cold.

"She's only recently come of age and might not be good at judging people, so it's not a big deal." Ayu didn't care much about Cheng Yuhe's past.

[...You haven't even reached the age of marriage yet.]

Ayu thought to herself: The elf has read too many storybooks, that's why his mind is full of romantic love.

I can hear you!

"Benefactor?" While the two were joking around, Cheng Yuhe shared some of her current plans.

Of course, not everything was revealed, since it hadn't come to that point yet.

Ayu smiled at Cheng Yuhe: "I already know about the matter. After we leave, we will report to His Majesty."

Cheng Yuhe was startled: "Your Majesty? May I ask who my benefactor is...?"

"I am a Lady of the Township, personally bestowed by His Majesty, with the title of Jade."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuhe was even more astonished.

"You are the famous Lord Yuxiang?!" Cheng Yuhe's eyes almost lit up like stars. "Are you really Lord Yuxiang?!"

After saying that, she went straight to take Ayu's hand, but then suddenly stopped.

Feeling that he had been too forward, he said "I'm sorry" but kept glancing at Ayu.

Ayu tilted her head to look at her: "What?"

A little voice inside Cheng Yuhe screamed wildly, and her face, even in the dim light, was visibly flushed red.

He was immediately at a loss for words: "I...I admire you so much!"

It was already past June, and she knew nothing about many things outside, but she had long heard of Ayu's reputation.

For some reason, as soon as Ayu revealed her identity, Cheng Yuhe believed her almost without a doubt.

The people below were still arguing. Zheng Lin was punched a few times by several students, and the group split into two factions.

Cheng Yuhe had no time to worry about that. She lowered her voice and said to Ayu, "Yuxiangjun, I know what's behind that proverb."

Her eyes lit up: "Whether the 'female protagonist's world' is true or not, the enormous treasure is real!"

Ayu felt her whole body trembling.

Cheng Yuhe said, "I have unlocked the secret of the proverb. None of them know it."

Ayu blinked, about to say something.

Tuanzi reminded him, "Baby, hurry up and get out of here! Qin Huai is about to turn Phoenix Cry City upside down!"

"Don't rush with the treasure, let's go first." Ayu patted Cheng Yuhe's hand. (End of Chapter)
