Emperor Xi's eyes were bloodshot.

My mother kept quiet about what happened back then, unwilling to say more.

But he remembered it very clearly.

It was a rainy day. Di Yan took him to the back mountain to shovel cow dung. When they returned, they heard that his mother had committed a crime and was going to be beaten to death on the spot.

He was young then and only dared to kneel and beg for mercy. He heard the executioners say that he had been caught stealing something.

how is this possible.

Her mother had served Emperor Jiang for many years with utmost loyalty; how could she possibly steal anything?

Di Yan dragged him along to demand an explanation, but they were both locked up. After they were released, they were expelled from the main family, leaving only Di Yan's lineage.

According to my father, it was Di Yan's father who provided evidence to accuse my mother and convicted her of a crime. This was considered a case of upholding justice even at the cost of family ties, which is why the clan chief spared them.

He didn't want to bring up the past anymore.

But he wouldn't tolerate anyone saying a bad word about his mother.

Mu Yunyun quickly comforted him and helped him calm down.

She was just asking out of curiosity; she never expected there to be such an old story.

"Later, you migrated to the Guiyulin?"

“That’s right.” Di Xi recalled: “Not long after we migrated to Guiyu Forest, my father was instigated by my uncle to sell slaves, and you know what happened after that.”

What a piece of shit.

Mu Yunyun couldn't help but feel indignant.

I already didn't have a good impression of Di Yan, and now that I know the reason, I have even less goodwill towards him.

"Logically speaking, how could someone of the Tiger Clan become Di Yao's mate?"

It shouldn't be.

The clan leaders are very picky about their partners.

Di Yao was born into her own family. Even without a father clan like Ying Hua's, she shouldn't have formed a contract with the son of a servant.

"I don't know about that." Di Xi's anger subsided a bit. He hugged Mu Yunyun's waist and buried his head in her chest. "It's probably because the Tiger Clan paid a lot of tribute. I can't think of anything else."

Mu Yunyun felt a little itchy from his rubbing head against hers, but she couldn't bear to push him away, so she could only pat his head.

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. I'm going to the main family to host a banquet later. Do you want to come along?"

"No."

He disliked his own family and even more so, he didn't want to see those sycophants.

Bai Sang'er stepped forward: "If you don't mind, I'll accompany you."

Upon hearing this, Di Xi peeked out from Mu Yunyun's arms and glanced at her sideways.

Bai Sang'er felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at, and her whole body instantly stiffened.

Those eyes were fixed straight ahead, as if they were about to unleash sharp claws at any moment, sending chills down your spine.

But only for a moment.

Di Xi snorted and ignored her.

With all the trouble Qi Shi went to arrange things, sending gifts and bestowing maids upon him, if he hadn't heard before coming that Qi Yue wasn't planning to participate in the autumn hunt, he would have really thought the two of them were going to have an affair.

......

Qi Yue is preparing to return to Jiang Shui.

After that day, he made all the necessary arrangements for the autumn hunt.

Since there is no affection between them, he will not force it, and it would be best for them to never see each other again.

"Master, everything is ready."

Of course, there's nothing to pack up.

The great witch doctor stole a new tea set that Mu Yunyun had made, along with a black pottery bowl that he liked; that was all.

He was happily preparing to leave after stealing it.

Once they arrived at Jiangshui, Mu Yunyun couldn't do anything about it, even if she was angry. However, as soon as she entered, her steps abruptly stopped, as if she had been struck on the ground like a wooden stake, causing her to widen her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yue got off the couch, looking a little tired.

"Master...you..." are pregnant...
