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

"Miss, now that things have come to this, you should stop hiding it for Die Jiu. Anyway, it can't be hidden. Since the two princes already know about it, let's just confront them! Yes, Die Jiu is pregnant, and that's why Miss took us to escape from Kyoto!"

Xinyi held Wen Qiqi's hand tightly, suggesting that she could only play along now.

Ke Wen Qiqi watched Die Jiu, an innocent girl, take the blame for her and even lied that she was pregnant, and her eyes were red with heartache.

The Thirteenth Prince looked at Qiqi: "Is it true?"

"Yes!"

Wen Qiqi knew that there was no other way to go.

If she told the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince now that she was the pregnant woman.

Given the personalities of the two princes, they would definitely send her back to Wen Mansion in Kyoto.

She is the daughter of the Wen family. The two princes would never want to let her wander around outside with her child!

But if I go back, how do I explain the child’s background?

Wen Qiqi and Lu Zhanyao had just divorced, and Lu Zhanyao was still in prison. If the news of Wen Qiqi's pregnancy got out, the Lu family would immediately have something to hold against her...

Wen Qiqi's efforts were all wasted.

Die Jiu doesn't care at all. For the young lady, she dares to do and say anything!

"Thirteenth Prince, Fourteenth Prince, I am still young, although you can't tell. You two princes must keep it a secret for me... Otherwise, I will be too ashamed to see anyone."

"How confused!"

The Thirteenth Prince was furious: "As a maid of the Wen Mansion, you actually dragged the young lady into the war because of your pregnancy, and even became a deserter... If it weren't for my Fourteenth Brother and I coming out to find you tonight, if something happened, would you be able to bear the consequences?"

Seeing Die Jiu being scolded, Wen Qiqi immediately stepped in front of her and said, "Thirteenth Prince, I am willing to do this. Die Jiu and I are like sisters, and her business is my business!"

"Seven seven!"

The Fourteenth Prince sighed, rubbed his aching legs and sat on a stone. "You have been kind to servants since you were young. This is known to me and my Thirteenth Brother. But this time, you really made too much trouble! Don't blame my Thirteenth Brother for being angry... We still need to get to the bottom of this matter and make a long-term plan."

"Let Diejiu go back and find whoever the child belongs to!"

The Thirteenth Prince said.

Die Jiu bit her lip and thought desperately: "The child... the child's father... can't be found now."

The Fourteenth Prince slapped his thigh and said, "It's over! Could it be Lu Zhanyao's?"

Diejiu is Wen Qiqi's maid who came with her as a dowry. Although she is a servant, she should have a good vision.

She has been in the Lu Mansion for four years, so this child is most likely to have the surname Lu!

"what?"

When Die Jiu heard this, her mouth was shaped like an O: "How is it possible! The two princes are overthinking it! The way the Lu family treated the young lady, I hate Lu Zhanyao... I wish I could tear out his muscles and skin him alive!"

"If it's not his? Then whose is it?" The Fourteenth Prince became interested: "Diejiu, you are quite courageous... No wonder you want to eat sour apricots! Thirteenth brother, you didn't see it. Today, when we went to buy wine, Diejiu saw the sour apricots in someone's yard and couldn't resist it, so she picked a lot! I felt it was sour just watching her eat..."

"I...I want to eat something sour. People say that sour boys are spicy girls, so my child is most likely a girl! Oh, my two princes, I have to save face. I will never tell you who the father of this child is, even if you kill me."

"no!"

The Thirteenth Prince said solemnly, "I have already broken the military law for you. If you give birth to another child in the army, it will be disgraceful! You must report the name of the child's father today. I will definitely not let this irresponsible man off easily!"

Die Jiu was sweating profusely. Wen Qiqi was about to speak when Die Jiu suddenly said, "The child... is a stranger's. I don't know who he is. We were just a fleeting love affair, just one night... My Lords, if you ask me again, I will be so embarrassed that I might as well... die in front of you!"

After saying that, she pulled out a dagger and pretended to slit her own throat.

Xinyi deliberately exclaimed, hugged her and cried, "My two princes, you are going to force Diejiu to death! She has already said that the father of the child is a stranger... but you insist on asking! She didn't even see the appearance of the child's father clearly, what do you want her to say?"

"woo woo woo woo……"

Die Jiu started crying exaggeratedly.

Wen Qiqi was surprised to see these two girls’ acting skills were better than each other...

"Alright, alright!"

The Thirteenth Prince was softened by their crying.

"I won't ask any more questions, but please stop crying. It will be troublesome if wild wolves come to this remote place!"

"Yes, people say that ghosts are crying and wolves are howling! The way you two are crying will definitely attract a pack of wolves! Fortunately, this back mountain is relatively peaceful and there are not many wild beasts! If you three run out like this at the border of East City, it will be troublesome." The Fourteenth Prince stood up and said, "It's getting late. Diejiu is not feeling well. Come back with me and Brother Thirteen. We will slowly think of a solution." Wen Qiqi nodded, and Xinyi immediately supported Diejiu: "Slow down..."

Die Jiu suppressed her smile, let Xinyi support her, and followed the two princes down the mountain.

After returning to the military camp, the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince did not sleep all night because they were worried about the child in Die Jiu's belly. The next day, they sat on horseback while traveling, thinking about how to settle this matter.

"Brother Thirteen, Diejiu said that she will be pregnant in three months. If they are in the army, they will definitely not be able to hide it... We only have one solution now..."

The Fourteenth Prince came up with an idea: "When we reach the border of East City, we will set up camp and find a suitable villager's home for the three of them to stay. When we have quelled the chaos in East City, we will take them back with us!"

The Thirteenth Prince frowned and pulled the reins.

This matter is even more troublesome than marching and fighting...

"That's the only way. But which villager would take the three of them in as men? What the villagers fear most is "being able to eat!"

Won't three men make her poor? "

The Fourteenth Prince said, "Just give me more silver."

"Then your life will be in danger!"

The Thirteenth Prince looked at the Fourteenth Prince and said, "It would be the most dangerous if the silver was exposed when they were out. They have to pretend to be pitiful so that they can be taken in... Besides, Diejiu's belly is getting bigger and bigger, she can't pretend anymore! She can only turn back into a girl!"

Wen Qiqi said that the three of them would never separate even if they died.

The Thirteenth Prince thought hard, and suddenly he came up with a foolproof plan.

A few days later, the team arrived at the border of East City - Xiangshui Bay.

This is a village that relies on fishing and hunting. The village is very big and the mountains are also incredibly huge.

The army was settled on the river beach of Xiangshui Bay. The village was about five miles away from here, which was neither too far nor too close, just right.
