Heartstrings Resonance: The Beloved Princess of the Female Power

Mu Yunxi turned around and looked at her. She was calm and composed, explaining everything in a clear and logical manner. "After I disappeared, my father immediately ordered the city to be sealed off and every intersection blocked. Orders were passed down one after another, coupled with a carpet search. If they had gone west, once discovered, it would have caused conflict between the two countries. Therefore, they chose to go north. However, the blockade was too tight, and they had to fight their way out many times. To reduce the number of targets, they decided to act separately. This would distract attention and indeed allowed them to successfully evade several searches. When they reached the border of Shuanglin Prefecture, the situation became difficult because Shuanglin Prefecture was home to the Jin family army. The Jin family was my great-grandfather's family. After learning that I had been kidnapped, they sent the Jin family army from Shuanglin Prefecture to search outward." He sighed and said, "All this was told to me by that bastard who saw that I was almost dead."

Later, I set out with your mother and the others. My serious injuries delayed us for two more days. When I felt better, we were all preparing to leave Ping County. As soon as we left Ping County, we ran into my cousin, Jin Rongsheng. That's how I learned that one of the teams would arrive in Ping County in three days.

She looked at Mu Yunxi calmly, "I won't trust anyone except the Jin family army. After all, I was kidnapped in the royal hunting ground. If you say there is no collusion, huh! Who can take me away from the heavily guarded royal hunting ground quietly?" She sneered.

Mu Yunxi frowned slightly, seeming a little puzzled, and continued to ask: "Well... then... what's going on between you and that person?"

Li Huayin took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's my fault. I was impulsive at the time and wanted to repay my cousin for saving my life, so I asked him to help find him! Later, when he found me, I wanted to thank him in person. I didn't reveal my identity, but I gave him a generous gift to thank him, and then we left."

"Is that all?" Mu Yunxi obviously didn't believe her.

"Also, I'm attracted by his appearance. Are you satisfied now?" Li Huayin glared at Mu Yunxi unhappily.

"......" Mu Yunxi was speechless. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Whose family is he from? Is he a spy from Youdu?" Mu Yunxi stared at Li Huayin and asked in confusion.

"Yes! But we still don't know what his identity is in Youdu? His current identity is Chen Ruopeng, the second son of Chenli County Magistrate in the neighboring county." Li Huayin's eyes became cold again.

"Can you briefly tell me about you and him?" Mu Yunxi asked.

"Sure!" Li Huayin replied with a smile, but her smile was a little bitter.

"Later, we returned to Ping County. Knowing that I was seriously injured, my cousin asked me to recuperate for a while before continuing on my journey. Your mother told my cousin about their situation, and he finally decided to send a small team to escort them back to Youzhou. Because of the hot weather, Mu Yunxi was hastily buried on a hillside outside Ping County. Your mother meant to come back later to move the grave back to Youzhou. My story with that person began from then on..."

"My cousin learned the man's appearance and name from Doctor Chen, and went to find him. I asked my cousin to investigate whether he was married, and my cousin understood what I meant. I didn't reveal my identity at first, but when I knew he was not married, I asked my cousin to ask him if he liked me. When he saw it was me, he nodded shyly." Li Huayin smiled sarcastically when she said this.

"My cousin also rushed eight hundred miles to tell my father about this. Later, because he saved me and didn't take credit for it, my father secretly sent a decree to Chen Li, asking his son Chen Ruopeng to participate in the next year's imperial examination and make sure to place in the top three. He already had the title of scholar, and he did not disappoint. He became the third place in the imperial examination, chosen by my father. My father also granted us a marriage. Now that I think about it, they had already made two plans, or perhaps... more than two!" Li Huayin paused, his eyes blank, and after a moment he continued:

"Then he poisoned me and made me infertile for life. I didn't know the truth and felt guilty. I thought I couldn't give him a son or a daughter, so I took him a concubine. However, he pretended to refuse at first. It turned out that this concubine was someone he had arranged long ago! And the reason why they strangled me to death was even more ridiculous - just because they mistakenly thought that I heard that they wanted to steal the defense map. If he hadn't told me these things in person, how would I have known? I really don't understand. Why did he tell me all this when he was about to put me to death? Did he want to see me die with my eyes open?" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but tears kept falling from his eyes like a dam breaking.

Mu Yunxi was silent for a long time as she watched her like this. She didn't need comfort right now. Only by venting all the pain in her heart could she feel better. Seeing that she had almost vented her emotions, she asked, "So what are you going to do next?"

"Wait, wait three days." Li Huayin said.

"What about Chen Ruopeng? How do you plan to deal with him?" Mu Yunxi asked her plan.

"I will definitely not give him another chance. In his previous life, he obtained so much important intelligence as a son-in-law. The western border defense has been defeated repeatedly, and I think he has made a great contribution in this!" Li Huayin's eyes were deep.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "It's you," said Madam Wu. "It's time for dinner. Would you mind coming in?"

The two looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes "Is it so late?"

Mu Yunxi's voice reached the door, "Mom, come in!"

Mother Wu pushed the door open and walked in, smiling, "You two young ladies have been sitting in the room all afternoon. Do you need to go to the bathroom?"

"Yeah!" they both replied.

Before Mother Wu could say anything, Mu Yunxi said, "I'm going to the toilet." Then she got up and went out. They had finished the pot of tea they had drunk that afternoon, but they were just talking so much that they didn't notice time passing quickly. When Mother Wu reminded her, she suddenly felt her lower abdomen bloated.

After Mu Yunxi came back from her work, Wu's mother cleaned her up and they all had dinner together. The atmosphere at the table was much better because they had been chatting all afternoon.

"Why do you always eat so fast?" Li Huayin asked.

Mu Yunxi looked up at her and swallowed the food in her mouth, "I'm happy to." Then she ate her meal in a dignified and quick manner.

Xiao Yao slapped her hand in annoyance and said angrily, "Did your father and I not give you food? It wasn't like this before?"

Mu Yunxi smiled brightly, but her words were irritating. "Mom, don't talk while eating or sleeping; you taught me that." Then she used her serving chopsticks to pick up a portion of food for Xiao Yao and another for Li Huayin. "Eat quickly! Mom, I'll tell you something after we finish eating."

Xiao Yao glared at her unhappily, "There are outsiders here, and you are talking to me about things. What will they think?" Xiao Yao thought to herself.

Mu Yunxi didn't care about all this. She didn't treat Li Huayin as an outsider now. "Do you want to join us?" she asked Li Huayin.

"No, I've talked to you for the whole afternoon and I'm tired! And I asked you to call me Ayin, but you keep calling me Ayin all day long." Li Huayin glared at her.

"I see." He continued to eat. Xiao Yao, who was standing beside him, was stunned. After just a few words, did their relationship become so good?

After dinner, everyone left, leaving only Mother Wu, Mu Yunxi, and her daughter in the room;

Xiao Yao hesitated and said, "You and that person...did she tell you everything?"

"Yes, that's what mother thought." Mu Yunxi's answer was very straightforward.

"Okay! What do you want to ask?" Xiao Yao looked at her helplessly.

Mu Yunxi was not polite and asked directly: "What are your plans next, mother?"

Xiao Yao looked at her daughter, who looked different in every way except her appearance, and felt bitter and helpless. She sighed and said, "Xi'er, I know this has been a huge blow to you, but I hope more than anything else, you can live a happy and healthy life. Do you understand?" As she spoke, a look of heartache crossed her face, tears glistening in her eyes.

Mu Yunxi smiled softly after hearing this and replied, "Mom, some things have already happened and we can't change them. Don't worry, my daughter has grown up and knows how to deal with these setbacks. You don't have to worry too much."

Xiao Yao looked at her strong daughter in front of her, feeling filled with emotion.

Mu Yunxi continued, "Mom, I just heard from Mother Wu that you want the Qin family to help find Dad, right?"

Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Yes, but I haven't had time to tell them about this yet. This morning, Old Master Qin suddenly fell ill. I wanted to visit him, but the servants told me that he hadn't woken up yet, so I didn't bother him."

Mu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's wait and see. We'll talk about it in a few days. Now that the princess is missing, there must be soldiers everywhere on the road. If we are accidentally arrested as a suspect, it will be troublesome."

Xiao Yao felt her daughter's words made sense, so she nodded in agreement. "We've been so desperately trying to escape this whole time that we didn't notice the princess's disappearance," she continued. Then, thinking of something, Xiao Yao added earnestly, "Be more polite and don't offend anyone. If we can return safely to Youzhou, she might be able to help your father out of this predicament."

After hearing Xiao Yao's words, she remembered that she hadn't asked about her father. How did her father become like this? She said hello to Xiao Yao and went to find Li Huayin. "I'm going to talk to Ayin."

"Be careful not to get hurt." Xiao Yao was shocked by her actions.

"I know!" Mu Yunxi's voice came from outside.

Xiao Yao was helpless, and sighed deeply, saying to Mother Wu, "Girls really can't be kept at home when they grow up!"

This sentence made Mother Wu smile and chuckle.

At the same time, Mu Yunxi gently knocked on Li Huayin's door and asked softly, "Are you there?" Remembering what Li Huayin had said before, she quickly added, "Ayin, are you there?"
