Yi Qianhuan's heart suddenly sank, and the scene of that night five years ago emerged uncontrollably in his mind.

Finally came.

She had guessed that Ji Chilian would not let this matter go easily.

Especially after meeting Shen Yubao, she was almost certain that Shen Yubao was the son she had lost.

At that time, she was wondering who had the ability to take her little son away from right under her nose.

Now it seems that Ji Chilian is the biological father of the children, so it makes sense that he took her youngest son away.

However, she didn’t know whether Ji Chilian knew about the existence of the calligraphy.

If he knew, why did he only take one?

"I don't understand what you mean, Governor." Yi Qianhuan did not attack easily and pretended to be stupid first.

Ji Chilian kept smiling, and his fingers were always twisting the Buddhist beads in his hand.

Just when both of them fell into silence, Lin Tong came quickly and bowed to Ji Chilian first.

"Master Du, there is something important that needs your personal attention."

"Then I will take my leave now. Since Yubao's matter needs to be handled at Longan Temple, there is no need to rush. After I have arranged everything, I will find another time to discuss it in detail with the Crown Prince's wife." Ji Chilian said this and left.

Yi Qianhuan's brows were twisted into a knot.

She was prepared to face everything, but she didn't expect it to be so unfortunate.

Not knowing when Ji Chilian would choose to come and talk to him, Yi Qianhuan felt a headache when he thought about having to deal with this man next.

After rubbing his eyebrows with his fingers, Yi Qianhuan could only put the matter behind him for the time being and go to find the children.

After Shen Yubao woke up, Yi Qianhuan originally wanted to take Yi Mobao home so that Shen Yubao could have a good rest.

But Shen Yubao was very clingy, and his eyes immediately turned red when he saw that they were planning to leave.

In fact, if Shen Yubao started crying and making a fuss, Yi Qianhuan would be able to harden his heart and take Yi Mobao away directly.

But Shen Yubao didn't make a fuss. Even when he wanted to cry, he had to hold it back, with two big pools of tears in his eyes.

The little cub looked so pitiful that Yi Qianhuan and Yi Mobao couldn't bear it, so they had to stay and accompany him for a long time.

It was not until night fell that Shen Yubao finally fell into a deep sleep.

Yi Qianhuan and Shen Yubao finally left the Governor's Mansion and returned to the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion.

In the Qingzhu Courtyard, Aunt Gui prepared some hand-wrapped wontons as a midnight snack.

Aunt Gui is a good cook. The wontons she made were delicious and not greasy. Yi Qianhuan, Yi Mobao and Liuli each had a bowl.

Let Liuli take Yi Mobao to rest first, while Yi Qianhuan took a bath and changed clothes in the room under the care of Nanny Gui.

Aunt Gui slowly massaged Yi Qianhuan with rose oil. She served her slowly, fearing that she might accidentally hurt this beauty with skin as white as cream in the bathtub.

"Young lady's skin is as good as that of a young girl. It's strange to say, many girls tend to get spots on their faces and wrinkles on their bodies after they get pregnant, but young lady, you have none of that. Your body is like jade, incredibly beautiful." Nanny Gui knew that Princess Lin did not have such good luck as Yi Qianhuan. In order to give birth to Helian Ziyu, she even injured the skin on her abdomen.

"Maybe it's because I've been using my special herb bag to take a bath for so many years." Yi Qianhuan glanced sideways, but didn't see the familiar herb bag. "After the last herb bag ran out, I asked Liuli to make some. She probably forgot to bring it over. Aunt Gui, go get it for me."

Nanny Gui agreed immediately and quickly did as Yi Qianhuan asked.

Yi Qianhuan was immersed in the hot water, and every breath she took was filled with the sweet scent of roses.

Just when Yi Qianhuan was gradually relaxing, the door was pushed open from the outside and it seemed that Nanny Gui had returned.

"Just come here and give me the thing." Yi Qianhuan's voice sounded lazy, lacking some of its usual coldness.

Ji Chilian subconsciously paused for a moment. Through the screen, he saw a slender figure reflected on the screen.

Coupled with the sweet scent of roses and soapberries in the air, Ji Chilian realized the current situation.

He didn't come closer and just stood there quietly.

"Why aren't you coming over yet? Don't keep me waiting." Yi Qianhuan continued to urge, and this time there was a hint of coquettishness in his voice.

Ji Chilian remained calm, and kept pressing down the Buddhist beads on her bracelet with her thumb: "Madam, it's me."

Immediately afterwards, he heard a continuous noise coming from behind the screen, and Ji Chilian simply avoided his gaze.

Yi Qianhuan ignored her wet long hair, wrapped her snow-white undershirt, and poked her head out from behind the screen, just in time to see Ji Chilian's profile.

Seeing Ji Chilian like this, Yi Qianhuan bit his lower lip silently: "Does the governor not know the difference between men and women? You broke into my boudoir late at night. Aren't you afraid that if it gets out, people in the world will think that the governor doesn't know the rules?"

Ji Chilian said calmly: "The Crown Prince's wife is always smart. I believe you will not do such a stupid thing that will end in disaster."

The more Ji Chilian said this, the more dissatisfied Yi Qianhuan became: "I've always heard that the governor is not interested in women, but I didn't know that the governor is such a person behind the scenes."

"Madam, you are joking. After that night five years ago, you should have known what kind of person I am. There is no need for you to try to cover up your mistake now." Ji Chilian said with a smile.

After hearing this, Yi Qianhuan didn't care about what happened today, and said indifferently: "Five years ago, the situation was special, and Du Gong and I were forced to help each other. What's more, it has been five years since the incident, and Du Gong and I should have been even between us long ago."

Yi Qianhuan didn't want to reminisce about the past with Ji Chilian here.

It was an accident five years ago. What she wanted was two sons. As for what happened to Ji Chilian, she didn’t really care.

"Madam, you forgot that you relied on me to escape from trouble five years ago. So strictly speaking, you should be considered to owe me one."

Yi Qianhuan felt that Ji Chilian spoke too matter-of-factly and was almost fooled by this man.

After realizing that something was wrong, Yi Qianhuan calmed down a little, shrugged and said, "The Lord Supervisor is a dignified Ninth Thousand Years Old, with tremendous power and noble status. So if the Ninth Thousand Years Old insists on thinking this way, I cannot resist."

"You mean that I forced you. But I remember very clearly that it was you who got entangled with me first." Ji Chilian's eyes were deep. He finally stood up and walked towards Yi Qianhuan step by step.

"What happened five years ago was just an accident to me. After all, I didn't expect that Lord Governor, as the Ninth Thousand Years Old, would dare to deceive the emperor. If the Ninth Thousand Years Old must talk about favors, then my favor of helping Lord Governor conceal it for so many years is greater." Yi Qianhuan said with a smile.

"If I kill you, I won't have to accept this favor." Ji Chilian's voice was tinged with danger.

Yi Qianhuan clearly felt Ji Chilian's murderous intent.

But she is not afraid.

"It doesn't matter who the governor wants to kill, but when he does it, he always has to keep Young Master Shen's life in mind. If I can't get rid of the resentment in Young Master Shen within the next ten days, I'm afraid he will be in great danger."

"So when do you plan to go to Longan Temple?" Ji Chilian finally stopped dwelling on the previous topic.

"Five days later will be a good day. I will take my ink with me then." Yi Qianhuan said, and found that Ji Chilian had been looking at him the whole time. "Why is the governor looking at me like this?"
