A red apricot is about to cheat on you

At this tense moment, Jiang Wanyin and the other man quickly approached. Jiang Wanyin's eyes locked on Yi Duoer, who was so nimble that she caught the flying dart with her bare hands.

This made a trace of surprise that was hard to conceal flash in her eyes, because she recognized Yi Duoer in front of her in an instant.

Yi Duo'er threw the dart away expressionlessly, then stood up swiftly. Her icy gaze, like a cold star, was cast directly at Jiang Wanyin and the other two. Then, she slowly moved her gaze over Jiang Wange. After a moment, she opened her red lips and said coldly:

"What do you want to do?" His voice was so cold that it seemed to penetrate the heavy air and lower the temperature around him a few degrees.

Jiang Wange moved lightly to Yi Duoer's side. Her slender jade hand gently held Yi Duoer's hand. She looked up at Jiang Wanyin, and there was a strong murderous look in her eyes. She hurriedly tried to persuade him, "This is all just a misunderstanding. Wanyin, you should leave here as soon as possible."

However, how could Jiang Wanyin turn around and leave so easily at this moment? She knew Yi Duo'er was the Night Princess as clearly as a mirror in her heart. Now that she had heard their conversation, she was afraid that she would go back and tell on them, which would be detrimental to them.

So she raised her voice and said sternly, "Sister, they just heard our conversation. I'm worried they'll cause trouble. Why don't you let me get rid of them?"

When Yi Duoer heard this, a strong sense of crisis surged in her heart, and a strong murderous intent quickly flashed across the depths of her eyes.

She thought: If she really started fighting, then it would be a good opportunity for her to test the inner strength that the adults had taught her. While thinking, she shouted, "Azhu, take Yuyao away first. You still think you can kill me! Humph, what can you do to me?"

Jiang Wange was extremely anxious and quickly interrupted them, stating in a firm tone that Yi Duoer would not pose any threat to them.

Seeing her sister trying so hard to protect Yi Duoer, Jiang Wanyin couldn't help but feel puzzled: Could it be that her sister already knew that Yi Duoer and Chu Jingchen had an unusual relationship, so she spared no effort to protect her?

Thinking of this, the strong murderous intent on her face receded, and she said softly, "Okay, sister, I believe you won't make a mistake. Then I will go ahead. Once you have dealt with the matter here, I will send someone to help you out."

After saying that, she looked at Yi Duoer meaningfully, then turned around and left resolutely without looking back.

Jiang Wan Ge looked back, her eyes as gentle as water, gently sweeping across the people present, her tone as soft as the spring breeze:

"I hope what happened just now didn't scare you guys."

Everyone hurriedly shook their heads, and Yi Duoer had a look of helplessness on her face.

After everyone returned to the tent, Yi Duoer asked softly:

"What should I call you now? Aunt Jiang? Or the late queen?" Her tone remained cold, because in her eyes, the woman in front of her was too complex and profound to be understood.

She thought Jiang Wange was just a beautiful servant favored by the Khan, but who could have imagined that she was so well disguised, and was actually the empress of the late emperor, and the mother of the powerful regent.

The truth of all this made Yi Duoer deeply suspicious of the people and things around her, and she felt that she could no longer trust anyone.

Jiang Wange was keenly aware of Yi Duoer's alienation and vigilance towards her, and an indescribable bitterness arose in her heart.

She gently pulled Yi Duoer over and slowly sat down on the couch, as if she wanted to explain everything.

Yi Duoer raised her hand slightly to stop her from saying anything, and said:

"You don't need to explain to me. I'm just a nobody in this world. You have no obligation to tell me. But I just find it too unbelievable. The outside world has been saying that you're dead, so why are you here in this tiger's nest?"

Jiang Wange looked calm and said that he was here to find the important keepsake of the Jiang family and the mysterious treasure map of the Jiang family.

When Yi Duoer heard this, her body trembled violently. She jumped up from her seat in shock and asked anxiously:

"Could it be the treasure house that Wei Yan knew about?" Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and her eyes were full of tension and curiosity.

A subtle surprise flashed across Jiang Wange's eyes. She frowned slightly and asked softly, "How do you know Wei Yan?"

Yi Duoer calmed herself down and told everything she knew.

After a moment, she first advised Yi Duoer seriously not to get involved in this matter, and then slowly said:

"It's not the treasure house Wei Yan knew about, but rather the countless treasures and wealth accumulated by the Jiang family's ancestors over the years, as well as some crucial confidential archives related to the family's rise and fall. They are now sealed in a mysterious place in the south. And the treasure map passed down from generation to generation by the Jiang family's ancestors has fallen into a dangerous place."

Yi Duoer held her chin with one hand, stroking it gently with her fingers, and a look of sudden enlightenment gradually appeared on her face, as if all the doubts in her heart were answered at this moment.

Then, she seemed to suddenly realize something and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Oh, you're telling me all this? How could I possibly hear such a confidential matter? I still want to live a few more years! Aunt Jiang, oh no... Late Queen, just pretend that I didn't hear anything and you didn't tell me any of this."

She covered her ears tightly with her hands, because last time she accidentally took Jiang Lin's envelope, she almost got herself killed. After that experience, she is now more cautious.

Seeing Yi Duoer like this, Jiang Wange couldn't help but burst out laughing. She gently reached out her hand, held Yi Duoer's hand, and said softly:

"I know you're a kindhearted child. Actually, I don't even understand why I'm so honest with you. It's just that the moment I first saw you, an inexplicable sense of trust welled up in my heart. So don't feel any psychological burden."

Jiang Wange's comfort gradually calmed Yi Duoer down, and her pretty face, which had been a little panicked, gradually returned to its former brightness and charm.

She now only had admiration for Jiang Wange. "Aunt Jiang, I understand your difficulties."

Yi Duoer pursed her lips slightly and whispered these words. After she finished speaking, her eyes involuntarily fell on Aunt Jiang's unfinished clothes. A trace of worry gradually twisted between her eyebrows, and a trace of imperceptible heartache quietly passed through the depths of her eyes.

She slowly stood up, walked closer, picked up the clothes, and gestured gently in front of herself.

The scene of her close contact with Chu Jingchen involuntarily emerged in her mind. Her eyes became deep and focused, and she carefully considered Chu Jingchen's tall and straight figure. The more she looked, the more she felt that the clothes sewn by Aunt Jiang seemed a little short, and the size at the shoulders was also a little narrow.

So, she said softly, "Aunt Jiang, I'm afraid the clothes you made for your son are a little small."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wange slowly stood up and walked over. She picked up the dress with a puzzled look on her face, examining it carefully. With a hint of confusion in her eyes, she softly asked, "Sangsang, how did you know this dress was the wrong size?"

Yi Duoer only shuddered briefly, without showing any panic on her face, because she had already prepared her response in her mind.

Then she calmly explained:

"Just think about it. The Regent is so brave and fearless, a god of war known throughout the world. He is invincible in every battle, expanding the territory of the Qi Dynasty and making great military achievements. Such a remarkable figure must be of great stature and strength.

That year, my husband took me to the market, and we happened to see the army returning to the capital in triumph. I had the honor of witnessing the regent riding on his tall horse. He looked so majestic and impressive! Well, that's it."

Yi Duoer lied without changing her expression or heartbeat, and her expression and tone made it seem as if she could make a lie into an indisputable fact.

She secretly hoped that when Chu Jingchen met his mother, there would be no rift or estrangement between them.

She hoped that when Chu Jingchen saw his mother carefully making clothes for him every year, he would not feel resentment and dissatisfaction towards Aunt Jiang.

Jiang Wange quietly watched Yi Duoer lie calmly and almost believed it, thinking that Azhu was really her husband.

So, she pretended to be joking and asked, "Sangsang, are you really married?" As she spoke, her face was full of doubts.

The smile on Yi Duoer's face froze instantly, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment. She really didn't want to deceive Aunt Jiang, but she had to protect Xiao Ran.

She knew very well that the adults and her elder sister had always treated her as their own sister. Not only did they take good care of her in life, but they also taught her by words and deeds, teaching her how to distinguish right from wrong and how to bravely look into her own heart.

After some thought, she nodded slightly, agreeing with Jiang Wange's question.

Then, she hurriedly found an excuse to visit Xiaoran and quickly walked out of the tent.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, the secret suppressed in her heart would be revealed uncontrollably.

She secretly swore in her heart that no matter what, she would not let Xiao Ran fall into any danger.

In her opinion, the fewer people who knew the secret, the smaller the risk Xiao Ran would face. Even if the person in front of her was Chu Jingchen's biological mother, there must be no exception.

When she walked out of the tent, she took a deep breath and secretly rejoiced:

Fortunately, she was quite clever! Then, she walked straight to where Xiao Ran was, gently held her in her arms, and looked into her bright eyes. Her thoughts surged like a tide, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
