My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

"Your Highness, what you mean is that the accident that happened to General Ye that year... was actually related to the Thirteenth Prince?"

The Wen sisters looked at each other, and Xinyi and Diejiu swallowed their saliva subconsciously.

"This king is just speculating, and has no evidence."

The Fourteenth Prince frowned. "It's just that when my Thirteenth Brother and I led people to carry General Ye's coffin back to the capital, I have a very vivid memory of it. At that time, my Thirteenth Brother was very sad and angry, because General Ye's body was incomplete and horrible to look at. Now that I think about it, my Thirteenth Brother was the only one who saw the so-called corpse."

"If he admitted his mistake, it's possible. However, Ye Guitu told me in person that he rolled down the cliff and escaped."

Wen Qiqi suddenly looked at the Fourteenth Prince: "He never told me who was chasing him? Was it the strange commander from East City or a traitor in the military camp..."

The Fourteenth Prince nodded heavily: "Yes, I also have doubts. The strangeness of this matter is definitely not something you and I can guess! If the Thirteenth Brother is really related to what happened that year, did General Ye have already noticed the Thirteenth Brother's problem? The reason why he returned to the barracks with you as a junior was probably because he was worried..."

"He never said that."

Wen Qiqi frowned and thought for a while: "There is indeed something wrong with his memory. Perhaps that scene is not clear."

"Miss."

Die Jiu looked at Wen Qiqi and held her hand distressedly: "Miss, General Ye hasn't completely remembered you yet, but I'm going to marry into the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion. I'm worried about leaving you here..."

"Silly girl!"

Wen Qiqi pursed her lips and smiled: "If General Ye can't remember our past in this life, will you and Xinyi be old maids for the rest of your life?"

Die Jiu's nose felt sour: "Then... I will accompany you for the rest of my life."

"Ha ha……"

Wen Qiqi hooked Die Jiu's nose, took her hand and walked to the Fourteenth Prince: "Prince, don't listen to this silly girl's nonsense. I am so happy that she has a good family. Since the engagement date has been chosen today, I will hand Xiao Jiu over to you, Prince."

At nightfall, Wen Qiqi coaxed Xiao Yeye into sleep.

Mom came back from the Cining Palace, and Xiao Yeye became very well behaved...

The child's throat is a little swollen and sore due to crying these days. He drank bitter medicine in the afternoon and his eyes were filled with tears of grievance.

Looking at the piece of flesh that fell off his body, Wen Qiqi felt infinitely relieved.

It is said that children are a mother’s soft spot but also her solid armor. Now Qiqi has deeply experienced this.

During the days in the Cining Palace, she was always worried about this soft and sticky little ball. Tonight, she could finally fall asleep with Xiao Ye Ye in her arms. She was so happy.

"Miss……"

Xinyi shouted softly outside the door.

Wen Qiqi was just beginning to feel sleepy, but was awakened by just this sound.

"Xinyi, I'm not asleep yet, come in!"

"Ah."

Xinyi pushed the door open and walked in, and came to Wen Qiqi lightly: "Before General Ye went to East City, he came to the mansion... to see Xiao Yeye, and... he also gave me something and asked me to wait until no one was around and give it to the young lady."

Wen Qiqi was startled, and then saw Xinyi take out a handkerchief from her arms. Inside the handkerchief was a very exquisite wooden box, which was square and about an inch long.

"Miss, General Ye said he would give it to you, I didn't peek!"

He said it seriously.

Wen Qiqi smiled and whispered, "How can I not believe you? It's getting late, you should go and take a rest! By the way, I asked Fourth Sister to help prepare Xiaojiu's dowry. It is the dowry of the Wen family and is determined according to the rules of the Wen family's adopted daughter's marriage. But I still have to give Xiaojiu a portion of the dowry myself to feel at ease. Tomorrow morning, you will accompany me for a walk!"

Xinyi smiled knowingly: "Miss, you are so thoughtful. I am also thinking of buying one or two things for Xiaojiu tomorrow..."

"it is good!"

The two agreed, and Xinyi turned and left.

Then Wen Qiqi lit the lamp, put on clothes, and carefully opened the wooden box.

The wooden box was very delicate, with colorful patterns painted on it, like floating clouds...

Ancient paintings are very precious decorations, especially these carefully painted on such an exquisite little box.

The moment Wen Qiqi opened the box, a strange fragrance wafted into his nose.

Then she felt dizzy.

Qiqi was shocked, wondering if there was some kind of love potion powder in the box, but Xinyi said that the box was sent by Ye Guiren, so there shouldn't be any problem.

He felt confused and dizzy for a short while, but after a short while, Wen Qiqi felt much more sober.

She calmed herself down, then held the box in her palm again and looked at it carefully.

Inside the box was a white jade necklace. It was obviously worn by someone and was a bit worn out, but the pendant had been taken off...

Qiqi was stunned, thinking that if Ye Guitu wanted to give herself a gift, he should buy her a new piece of jewelry. What's the point of giving her an old necklace?

Next to the necklace, there was a paper roll.

Wen Qiqi picked it up, spread it out and looked at it.

That handwriting was written by Ye Guitu himself...

"Qiqi, I've thought of you. No matter how many words I say, I still can't express the guilt in my heart."

When Wen Qiqi saw this sentence, tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't stop them.

During the year in Shantun, the relationship between her and Ye Guitu was particularly delicate. Even though Qiqi gave birth to little Yeye, and even though Ye Guitu guarded her wholeheartedly, the part of her memory that disappeared was ultimately incomplete, and the two could never return to the feeling of being in love and knowing each other.

Ye Guitu is a very restrained man. He doesn't want Qiqi to give so much for him and have to bear the emptiness deep in his heart.

How proud are the women in Wen Mansion?

Wen Qiqi understood what Ye Guidu was thinking and never complained or blamed him.

……

And now, all the grievances are pouring out!

She was afraid of waking up Xiao Yeye, so she wrapped herself in a thin blanket and sat on a chair with the oil lamp by her side.

"I'm back to Shantun. I have military orders and cannot delay. The emperor has promised me that he will protect you. When you come back from Cining Palace, wait for me at Wen Mansion! I will not let you down in this life!"

At this point, any further waiting is worth it.

Wen Qiqi couldn't suppress the smile and couldn't stop her tears. There was a line of small words at the end of the note.

"Qiqi, this necklace is an heirloom of our Ye family. It is made of white jade and contains rosemary wood. When you put it on and get used to it, no incense powder in the martial arts world will be able to hurt you. It's a pity that the pendant has been lost. When I return, I will give you a piece of beautiful jade."

Wen Qiqi picked up the white jade necklace and sat in front of the bronze mirror.

Although this white jade necklace is a bit old, the workmanship is indeed very exquisite. The white jade sets off Qiqi's slender and delicate neck, which is surprisingly beautiful.

The next day, Xinyi was also surprised when she saw the necklace on the young lady's neck.

"Miss, is this necklace given to you by the old lady? It suits your temperament very well...it looks better than those gold, silver and jade!"

Wen Qiqi pursed her lips and smiled, saying nothing.
