Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

"Madam, don't worry. I can go to my grandparents' home and I will definitely not cause any trouble to you."

Xingchen answered very seriously.

"I was secretly sent out of the capital because I was completely unprepared. Now that I have seen through her true face, I will not be fooled again."

Meng Yunshang sighed softly, wondering why the difference between people was so huge.

In the capital, ten-year-old Lu Lingshan is still competing with her sister for jewelry, but seven-year-old Xingchen is already facing life and death alone.

"Mother, let's keep Xingchen here. He is so pitiful."

Huai'an begged Meng Yunshang earnestly.

"Husband?" Meng Yunshang turned to seek Lu Chenxiao's opinion.

Lu Chenxiao said calmly, "It's up to Shang'er to decide."

Meng Yunshang nodded to Xingchen, "Then stay."

"I love mother the most," Huai'an cheered loudly, and then pulled Xingchen onto the carriage with a grunt.

He looked so happy, there was no trace of the listlessness just now.

Lu Chenxiao said disdainfully, "When we get to the next town, I'll ask Lu Kang to prepare a small carriage for both of you."

So as not to disturb the world of two people between him and his wife.

Huai'an refused, "No, although I like making friends with Xingchen, I like mother more, and no one can snatch mother from me."

After saying that, he didn't forget to make a face at Lu Chenxiao!

Lu Chenxiao: “!”

Great, the brat is itching again.

Xingchen looked at Huai'an with admiration, "An'an you are so amazing, you can actually talk to your father like this."

The key point is, isn’t An An’s father angry?

Huai'an was stunned by the question, tilted his head and asked back, "Can't I talk to Daddy like this?"

He has always spoken to his father like this, what's wrong?

Although my father always said he would punish him, he never really did. I guess his behavior was still within the tolerance range of my father.

"At least in my family, it's not allowed. Every time I see my father, I'm nervous, afraid that I'll say something wrong. Once I say something wrong, not only will it implicate the people around me, but I may also be severely punished."

Huai'an was surprised, "Is your father so hateful?"

Xingchen nodded. "My father has the final say in our family. After my stepmother came into the family, I became an outsider."

"How terrible," Huai'an patted his chest with lingering fear. Fortunately, he was not born into such a family.

After saying that, he quietly looked at Lu Chenxiao. Facing Lu Chenxiao's sneering eyes, the little guy smiled flatteringly, "Daddy, don't worry. I will definitely make you less angry in the future, and I will be filial to you."

Lu Chenxiao raised his eyebrows. Who cares about his filial piety?

It's good enough that the brat doesn't make him angry.

"Get out and ride your horse right now, immediately. That will be the greatest filial piety to me."

Huai'an chuckled and pulled Xingchen out of the carriage swiftly, leaving space for his father and mother.

As soon as they left, Lu Chenxiao decisively lay down and slept on Meng Yunshang's lap.

Meng Yunshang was amused by his smooth movements, "Huai'an is growing up day by day, but you are going backwards as time goes by."

Lu Chenxiao openly disdained, "Obviously, the brat is becoming more and more annoying."

Meng Yunshang calmly reminded him, "No matter how much you hate him, he is still your own son."

"Humph, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't bother with him."

Meng Yunshang was speechless, so she simply talked about something else, "Should we send someone to find out the true identity of Xingchen's child?"

Although I agreed to let him stay, I had to consider Guan An's safety and I couldn't leave any hidden dangers.

Lu Chenxiao nodded lightly, "I already have a guess in my mind, let's wait and see."

Xingchen never mentioned his last name from beginning to end, but in his impression, he just happened to know a kid from the East China Sea named Xingchen.

Seeing that he was confident, Meng Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I feel relieved."

Lu Chenxiao was amused by her relieved look, so he got up and changed his position in the car, then pulled her into his arms and lay down together.

"The bastard is in high spirits right now, he definitely won't want to go back to the carriage, why don't we take a nap?"

Just as Meng Yunshang was about to say yes, Lu Kang's deep voice came from outside the carriage.

"Master, Lu Ming has sent a letter."

The car curtain was opened and a thick letter was handed in.

"Shang'er, help me look," Lu Chenxiao closed his eyes and was blatantly lazy.

Meng Yunshang had no choice but to sit up and take the envelope. As soon as she opened it, several yellowed papers fell out and Lu Chenxiao took them.

"Lu Ming said that he has already eliminated all the secret agents of Yanyu Tower in the capital as you said, and the owner of Yanyu Tower rushed to the palace as soon as possible."

"After some negotiations, Yanyu Tower was still unwilling to reveal the identity of the person behind the scenes, but promised that Yanyu Tower would never set foot in the capital again. In addition, all of Yanyu Tower's assets in the capital were handed over to the prince as compensation, and the prince was promised one request."

Those yellowed papers were the deeds, and there was a small red signature in the envelope, which was proof of the fulfillment of the promise.

Lu Chenxiao sneered. Yanyu Tower suffered heavy losses this time, but they would rather cede land and pay compensation than reveal the identity of the person behind it.

This just shows that the person behind the scenes is of noble status.

In the capital, there are not many people who are of noble status and bold enough to attack him.

"What are your plans next?"

"Shang'er, what do you think your husband should do?"

"We are not short of money anyway, why don't we ask Lu Ming to go to Yanyu Tower and kill and rob a few people?"

They can respect Yanyu Tower's principle of not revealing the identity of the employer, or they can change their thinking and become the employer.

If Yanyu Tower successfully completes the mission, they will also have fewer annoying people.

If Yanyu Tower terminates the order for some undisclosed reasons, they will not suffer any loss.

Because Yanyu Tower has implicitly admitted that the murderers are the people they have identified.

This is not a choice between two options, but a situation that puts Yanyu Tower in a dilemma.

Lu Chenxiao chuckled, "Shang'er is indeed smart. I will write back to Lu Ming right away."

"The Lou type is too weak, so we need to be at least a Yan type killer."

"Of course!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

*

Capital city, Prince Yu’s Palace.

Lu Yuanjing sat behind the desk, listening to the secret guard's report. "We have checked it out, Your Majesty. Prince Heng left the city a few days ago and has not returned. Lu Ming is now the manager of the palace."

"Have you found out where he went?"

"On the day that Prince Heng left the city, he was ambushed thirty miles outside the city. We thought he was going to the southwest, but after following him for two days, we discovered that the people sitting in the carriage were not Prince Heng and his wife."

"The Heng Palace secret guards seem to have misled us."

Lu Yuanjing sneered, "It seems like something a good brother like me would do."

"Would you like me to send someone to find out the real whereabouts of King Heng?"

"No need. Since he didn't go to the southwest, he must be on his way to the East Sea Kingdom."

"Your Majesty is so sure?"

Lu Yuanjing curled his lips and sneered, "Not only was this king certain, he also guessed why he was going there this time, and he even arranged a great gift for him."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and the butler outside reported, "Your Majesty, someone from the Chen family wants to see you."

Lu Yuanjing's face darkened, "No!"
