After Xie Ming returned from the government office, he saw Shen Chu sitting in the courtyard waiting for him.

Seeing the other person's back, Xie Ming's mood inexplicably improved.

So he slowly walked closer, wanting to hold the person in his arms.

But when he was about to take action, he found something wrong.

The woman sitting on the stone bench was looking at him with a gentle smile. The smile on her face was so flawless, as if it was carved on her face.

He had never seen a similar smile on Shen Chu's face.

After just this one encounter, Xie Ming discovered something was wrong.

The disguise failed miserably.

"You don't act like Chu'er at all."

Xie Ming's face instantly turned ugly, his voice became a little colder, and his big hand suddenly stretched out to grab the other person's throat.

He didn't hold back any strength in his hands, wishing he could strangle the other person to death.

This shows how angry he was at that time.

The clueless woman opened her eyes wide in panic and began to struggle desperately, imitating Shen Chu's tone and calling out, "Your Highness, it's me, Your Highness! I am Chu'er!"

But it would have been better if she didn't say this. Once she opened her mouth, Xie Ming's face became even gloomier, and the strength in his hands increased a little.

"Chu'er would never talk like that!"

The sinister and terrifying gaze stayed on the woman, like the King of Hell demanding lives from hell.

The woman, who was already extremely afraid of the Crown Prince Xie Ming, finally shed tears of fear. Her eyes were red from crying, and she didn't know what else she could do. She could only pray helplessly.

"Your Highness, please let me go. I will never do this again. This must be the last time. I really didn't mean it..."

Even though she was scared to this extent, she still didn't dare to reveal the name of the person behind the scenes, because that would be a million times more painful than the pain she was going through now!

She didn't know whether her prayers had worked or because of something else, but Xie Ming, who was originally furious, suddenly let go of her hand.

She fell to the ground with a dull thud, and her bones hit the ground hard, making her grimace in pain. However, she did not cry out in pain, but only sobbed softly, fearing that her crying would make Xie Ming unhappy.

The reason why he didn't strangle this person to death directly was because he was pressing against Shen Chu's face.

Xie Ming still couldn't bear it, after all, that was the person he loved the most.

"Drag her away and lock her up in the dungeon, and wait for my punishment."

Xie Ming gave the order with a cold face.

Hearing Xie Ming's words, several guards came up at once, grabbed the people on the ground and took them towards the dungeon.

But just at this moment, the sound of a carriage stopping at the door was heard.

And a few familiar-sounding conversations.

Amidst the conversations, Xie Ming heard the most familiar voice.

It's his first child.

Xie Ming hurriedly raised his head and looked in that direction, and met Shen Chu's surprised gaze.

He didn't know why the other party was surprised. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Chu took the lead and said, "Your Highness, why does that person just now look like me?"

There was confusion in his voice, and he seemed very curious about it.

Hearing this, Xie Ming's brows suddenly frowned.

That person just now?

"You're wrong."

Xie Ming spoke calmly.

The person just now touched his bottom line, and he didn't want to mention it.

It’s just a pity that Shen Chu is very curious about this person.

"Why don't you dare tell me later?"

Isn't it true that admitting this kind of thing is nothing, and that disavowing it actually makes the problem even bigger?

What does it mean that Xie Ming doesn’t admit it?

Perhaps seeing Shen Chu's persistence, Xie Ming sighed, "She wants to use your face to do bad things. I hate people like this the most. Doesn't she have her own face? She wants to use you to deceive me. Is she trying to sow discord between us?"

Xie Ming rarely said such things. Shen Chu was a little surprised to hear such words from him at this moment. She blinked, a little confused, "How does Your Highness plan to deal with her?"

"Of course, ask the person behind the scenes."

Anyone who dares to do such a thing must have been instigated by someone, otherwise where would he get the courage from?

Xie Ming knew this clearly.

"I doubt she'll tell you, though."

This sentence was said by Shen Chu.

Xie Ming was a little surprised when he heard Shen Chu say this, "Why do you say that?"

Because she believed in Xie Xuan's methods.

Since he dared to let the person go, Xie Xuan must have something on the other party.

Otherwise, how could he easily send the person directly to Xie Ming's side?

What if she actually succeeded in hooking up?

Xie Xuan must have the means to control the other party.

Maybe he tied up her family members, or maybe he poisoned her... or maybe he did something that Shen Chu couldn't imagine.

No matter what, Xie Xuan must have something on the woman just now.

Regardless of whether the woman was caught by Xie Ming or not, she would not easily betray Xie Xuan.

Shen Chu did not answer Xie Ming's words, but directly said, "It's Xie Xuan."

"It doesn't matter if she doesn't say it, I know."

"But since those words didn't come from her, Xie Xuan might not admit it."

Shen Chu's words came too suddenly, and Xie Ming was stunned for a moment.

What do you mean?

"What did Chu'er know?"

Xie Ming turned to look at her, his face a little confused.

I am very curious about why Shen Chu said this.

Shen Chu didn't hide anything from her and said directly, "Because I saw her coming out of Xie Xuan's residence. Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

Hearing this, Xie Ming's expression changed slightly.

"Chu'er went to Xie Xuan's residence recently?"

What is this unique focus?

"Shouldn't the key point be why she came out of Xie Xuan's residence?"

Shen Chu stared at the person in front of him, feeling a little strange.

Hearing Shen Chu's words, Xie Ming chuckled, "The focus is on you."

"..."

"If you want to talk about this, there's enough to say, so I'll try to be brief."

Shen Chu took a deep breath, his expression changed slightly, and he blurted out what he had wanted to say for a long time.

She simply told Xie Ming about Sanqi's situation from beginning to end, and during this process, she also did not forget about Qi Wang's situation.

She also briefly explained how she had been taken to Xie Xuan's residence because Qi Wang had been captured. This process lasted for about half an incense stick of time. When Shen Chu felt thirsty from what she was saying, Xie Ming thoughtfully brought her a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying in a gentle voice, "Chu'er, you must be thirsty after talking for so long, right?"

Seeing his attitude, Shen Chu's fingertips moved slightly.

Why does something feel wrong...

Why does Xie Ming seem to not care about this at all?

"Your Highness...you don't seem to care about this?"
