[Host, the gratitude value has increased. This must be from the man in red.]

[Yes. We have gained a lot this time. Let’s go back quickly! ]

Ji Jingyi couldn't find any trace of Li Mengyue, so he had to return to Banyue Villa in dejection.

After returning to Banyue Villa, Ji Jingyi sat in the hall. Thinking about what happened on the mountain, he was very upset and decided to go find his cousin.

Xie Ruiyuan was in the study, sitting at the desk, holding a paintbrush in his hand. With delicate brushstrokes, a girl with a face full of scars came to life on the paper.

Then he depicts the girl's eyes, a pair of big round almond-shaped eyes that immediately make the whole painting come alive.

Especially the girl's eyes are like a pair of pupils in the water, crystal clear, as if they can see through people's hearts. And her pupils are deep, as if they hide endless wisdom and mystery.

Thinking of that night when the poison in his body took effect and he was forced to have sex with the other party, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"Woman, don't let me find you, otherwise..."

Although the words were not finished, the murderous intent in the tone still made people tremble with fear.

"Squeak!"

"Cousin, I found the girl who saved me."

Ji Jingyi ignored Qingxi's obstruction and broke into the study.

Xie Ruiyuan was so absorbed in the past that he didn't even notice his cousin outside the study.

Therefore, when Ji Jingyi walked into the study, Xie Ruiyuan had not yet had time to put away the paintings on the desk.

"Hey! Who is this woman with scars all over her face?"

Xie Ruiyuan didn't answer, he picked up the painting and was about to put it away.

However, before his hand touched the painting, Ji Jingyi took it away, and he looked at it and commented on it.

"Cousin, this isn't the person you like, but aren't you indifferent to women?"

"Remember some time ago, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to meet you by chance, but you rejected her mercilessly. The beauty was so sad that she wanted to cry."

"And Princess Yaoyao from the Prince's Mansion has been deeply in love with you since she was a child. She once said that she would marry no one but you, but you never took it to heart."

"And Minister Li's little daughter is also infatuated with you, and there are many rich ladies who regard you as their dream lover. How could you fall for this ugly girl?"

Ji Jingyi held the painting and talked about who in the capital loved Xie Ruiyuan, while mocking his cousin for falling in love with a woman with scars on her face.

Xie Ruiyuan sat on a chair, listening to his cousin talk about the women who loved him. He didn't feel anything, but just felt like there was a noisy bird chirping next to his ear.

If the other person wasn't his cousin, he would have asked Qingxi to throw him out long ago.

Ji Jingyi talked for a while, but didn't get a response from his cousin. He felt bored and returned the painting to Xie Ruiyuan. He found a chair to sit on, looking dejected.

Xie Ruiyuan had never seen his cousin so depressed before, so he asked, "Cousin, what happened?"

Ji Jingyi did not answer directly. Instead, he stood up and stood in front of Xie Ruiyuan. He brushed the hair under his forehead with his hand and said in distress: "Cousin, am I not handsome?"

Without waiting for Xie Ruiyuan to answer, he continued, "No, I have been handsome since I was a child, how can I not be handsome? But why doesn't she even look at me more than once?"

After listening to her, Xie Ruiyuan guessed that she was the girl his cousin mentioned who saved him when he was being hunted last time.

He didn't know what kind of girl would make his cousin miss her all the time.

You have to know that in the environment they grew up in, they have seen countless beauties from childhood to adulthood, and there were all kinds of beauties in the palace.

But his cousin was so obsessed with a girl he had only met once, and he didn't want to make any comment.

I only know that even if my aunt doesn't mind the girl's background, given my cousin's family background, he can't marry a girl of low birth.

However, at this time, Xie Ruiyuan didn't know that they, as cousins, would fall for the same woman, and his behavior was even worse than Ji Jingyi's.

Ji Jingyi sat with Xie Ruiyuan for a quarter of an hour, but felt it was boring, so he left.

Xie Ruiyuan had just rolled up the painting and put it in a painting tube for safekeeping when there was another knock on the door.

"Master, this subordinate is Qingxuan."

"Enter."

"Yes."

When Xie Ruiyuan saw Qingxuan coming, he realized that there was some progress in the matter he was asked to investigate.

"Where are the people?"

"Master, I have checked the place where you were in trouble and found that it is related to the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Miss Prime Minister's Mansion, Yun Ran, Qing Xuan, you are fooling me."

As soon as Xie Ruiyuan finished speaking, Qingxuan immediately knelt on one knee to plead guilty.

"My subordinates dare not."

"Although Yun Ran is the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, she was switched at birth and raised by a country couple. The daughter of the country couple became the daughter of the Prime Minister's family and lived a life of luxury and wealth for sixteen years."

"Three months ago, news spread in the capital that Miss Meng Yue from the Prime Minister's Mansion had eloped with a beggar. The Prime Minister and his wife were so angry that they severed their relationship with Miss Meng Yue. Yun Ran was then adopted by the Prime Minister's Mansion and became the only legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"But according to the information obtained from the property investigation, we learned that on the day when the master was in trouble, Yun Ran and Miss Meng Yue appeared in the ruined temple outside the city. Miss Meng Yue's face was cut by Yun Ran. There were also six beggars in the ruined temple. All of them were killed in one blow. Judging from the wounds, the person who attacked was quick and cruel. Miss Meng Yue is nowhere to be found."

Since Xie Ruiyuan was poisoned and raped by the scarred woman and became unable to walk, he has not paid attention to what is happening in the outside world.

Before, his cousin had mentioned the matter of the real and fake daughter of the prime minister's mansion in order to make him happy. At that time, he had not yet gotten over the fact that he was raped, so naturally he did not take it too seriously.

Now that I think about it, Yun Ran was doing well in the capital. The person who had lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for sixteen years disappeared.

Although the Prime Minister's Office had announced that the man and the beggar had run away and severed their relationship, he didn't believe it at all.

Seeing his master in deep thought, Qing Xuan spoke again, "Master, I have found out that Miss Mengyue has found her biological parents. They are in Qingshan Town, Wuning County. She is now called Li Mengyue."

Xie Ruiyuan whispered these three words: "Li Mengyue."

Then he ordered: "Qingxuan, prepare the carriage and go to Qingshan Town immediately."

"Yes, master."

Before Qingxuan turned around and left, he saw his master's expression and couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for Miss Li Mengyue.

You know, the master has never suffered such a big setback because of one person.

Thinking back to when their four great guards saw their master naked, they were all frightened by the murderous aura that his master exuded.

I don't know which woman was so bold as to pluck the hair from a tiger's head. Not only that, she was so cruel as to even take away its clothes.

"Ah, Ah!"

As soon as Li Mengyue got home, she sneezed twice in succession, which made Li very nervous.

"Yueyue, did you catch a cold? Come in quickly and let me make you some ginger soup."

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm fine. You don't have to worry."

While Li Mengyue and Li were talking, someone knocked on the Li family's door.

I opened the door and saw Butler Qian.

Before Li Mengyue could speak, Butler Qian spoke anxiously.

"Miss Li, the Li brothers from your village were selling fried locusts in town. Someone came to cause trouble and beat them up. The troublemaker said he wanted you to come over, otherwise he would beat them up."
