Chapter 179: He’s Not My Son

“This is Liu Xiaolan,” Luo Xiuran quickly said.

“So it’s Miss Liu. I heard that Miss Liu is the Prince Regent’s junior sister. I supposed she’s also a guest of Xinan. Jian Xin, can you bring Miss Liu to her room?” Jiang Ru said gently to Jian Xin.

“Yes,” Jian Xin replied with a nod.

The King of Xinan’s Residence treated Jian Xin very well. She was naturally willing to help out.

“Miss Liu, please come with me,” Jian Xin said, pointing in another direction.

Liu Xiaolan looked conflicted and could only look at Luo Xiuran for help.

Luo Xiuran shrugged and looked at the other party helplessly. The other party was a ‘woman’ now so the other party naturally could not stay with him and Feng Yili.

Helpless, Liu Xiaolan could only lower his head and follow Jian Xin.

Jian Xin thought Liu Xiaolan had just arrived and was not used to it yet so she quickly said comfortingly, “The people in the King of Xinan’s Residence are all very good. Miss Liu, you don’t have to be nervous.”

“Okay. Thank you… Sister Jian,” Liu Xiaolan said, addressing Jian Xin the way Luo Xiuran did.

Jian Xin saw the strange expression on Liu Xiaolan’s face. The others addressed her as ‘Sister Jian’ naturally, but why did the latter look so awkward? Was it because they were not familiar with each other?

After leading Liu Xiaolan to a courtyard, Jian Xin pointed in a direction and said, “Miss Liu, your room is over there.”

Seeing that, there was another room next door, Liu Xiaolan asked, “Then the other room…”

“I’m staying in the next room. Lady Shen is worried that you’re not used to living here so she arranged for you to stay near me,” Jian Xin explained with a smile. In fact, their goal was for her to monitor Liu Xiaolan. After all, it was said that Feng Yili’s junior sister was also Feng Zixiu’s mother. It was only natural for them to keep an eye on such a person in the King of Xinan’s

Residence.

“Oh, okay, okay.”

Liu Xiulan felt uncomfortable being stared at by Jian Xin. He could only brace himself and nod in the end.

“Brother, are there any more infected people in the army and in the city?” Yu Yunxi asked seriously.

“Thanks to the antidote you gave us, everyone’s been cured. When Nanyue attacked during the day and saw that our people were well, they were extremely angry,” Shen Hezhi said mockingly.

After that, Yu Yunxi took a deep breath and recounted everything that happened tonight.

“Nan Xun’s martial arts improved greatly in such a short time?” Shen Hezhi’s expression turned solemn immediately.

Nan Xun’s martial arts were already extraordinary in the past. Now that it had improved again, he would be even more difficult to deal with.

“Nan Xun becoming stronger is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is the… expert behind him….” Shen Hezhi said in a deep voice.

Yu Yunxi nodded. This was indeed what she was most worried about.

“However, our top priority now is to find the spies,” Shen Hezhi said.

“I have my suspicions, but I need time to confirm them,” Yu Yunxi said in a low voice.

“What do you plan to do? Just do it. Father and I will support you,” Shen Hezhi said encouragingly. Then, his expression was a little cold as he reached up to massage his temples as he said, “By the way, Guan Ying is back. The moment she came back, she complained to Mother about you. She said that you locked her up and bullied her.”

Although Guan Ying was his cousin, Shen Hezhi knew what kind of person she was. Naturally, he did not have a good impression of her. Only someone as soft-hearted and kind as his mother could tolerate Guan Ying.

Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly when she heard Shen Hezhi’s words.

‘That’s right. This is the real Guan Ying. She’s petty and likes to complain… Her nonchalant attitude in Ankang Hall is really suspicious…

Seeing the solemn expression on Yu Yunxi’s face, Shen Hezhi could roughly guess what was going on. He said, “If she did something wrong, you can deal with her as you like. I’ll explain it to Mother.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi sighed in relief. With this, she could move on to the next part of her plan.

Coincidentally, after leaving Shen Hezhi’s courtyard, Yu Yunxi ran into Guan Ying.

Guan Ying’s expression was dark. She was clearly unhappy.

The maids behind Guan Ying noticed Yu Yunxi first, and they hurriedly bowed.

“C-county Princess…”

With this, Guan Ying finally noticed Yu Yunxi. She stopped in her tracks, and her gaze was extremely unfriendly. She looked at the courtyard behind Yu Yunxi before she said, “Yu Yunxi, apart from clinging to Cousin Brother, what else can you do?”

Yu Yunxi was not angry. She said nonchalantly, “I thought you were sick. How come you’re so energetic now? Have you recovered?”

Guan Ying became nervous immediately, looking as though she was hiding something. She quickly replied defensively, “T-that’s, that’s because I drank the medicine!”

Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed for a moment. She acted as though she did not notice

Guan Ying’s abnormality and continued to say, “It’s good that you’ve recovered.

I still have something to do so I’ll leave first.”

When Yu Yunxi walked past her, Guan Ying shot her maid a look.

The maid understood and secretly followed Yu Yunxi.

In the distance, Qian Mei, who was following Yu Yunxi, cleared her throat and asked loudly, “County Princess, what are you going to do now?”

“Qian Jiao should be done brewing the medicine by now. I’ll go and drink the medicine first. After that, I’ll work on improving the antidote,” Yu Yunxi replied.

“Antidote? What antidote?” Qian Mei asked curiously.

“Nanyue poisoned our people. In fact, the antidote I gave everyone in Ankang Hall can’t suppress the poison completely. I didn’t say anything so people wouldn’t panic. I just need to add a few more things to perfect the antidote,” Yu Yunxi explained patiently.

“I see.”

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, County Princess.”

When Yu Yunxi arrived at the kitchen, Qiaon Jiao, Xu Zhiyan, and Yu Junjin were not there. Only two pots of medicine were silently sitting on the stove while a cook watched over them.

“Where’s Qian Jiao?” Yu Yunxi asked with a frown.

“County Princess, Miss Qian Jiao was chased away,” the cook said with a wink, looking troubled.

‘Chased away? Who dares to chase Qian Jiao away in the King of Xinan’s Residence?’

Yu Yunxi’s expression turned cold. As expected, when she walked in, she saw a familiar figure standing by the window. She was wondering who would be able to chase Qian Jiao away. As it turned out, it was Feng Yili.

“All of you can leave,” Yu Yunxi said. She did not want Feng Yili to make things difficult for the people of the King of Xinan’s Residence so she asked them to leave.

Qian Mei looked at Yu Yunxi worriedly, but she still obeyed the latter in the end.

Yu Yunxi ignored Feng Yili’s gaze and walked straight to one of the pots, opening its lid. Then, she picked up a bowl and filled it with the medicine for internal injuries before placing it on the table.

With her back facing Feng Yili, she said sarcastically, “The Prince Regent came all the way to the kitchen… You must be really injured and in a hurry to drink the medicine.”

“I came to wait for you,” Feng Yili said in a deep voice.

Yu Yunxi remained unmoved and continued to scoop the medicine.

Feng Yili stood behind her and said seriously, “Feng Zixiu is not my son.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi’s hand that was holding the pot of medicine shook slightly, causing the medicine to splash out and scald the back of her hand. She put the medicine down forcefully before she turned around and asked angrily, “Feng Yili, are you messing with me?”

She felt that he was toying with her.

“I do have a son. However, it’s not Feng Zixiu; it’s Junjin,” Feng Yili said seriously as he looked into her eyes.

Yu Yunxi’s eyelids twitched, and she began to feel anxious. She looked at him carefully.

‘When did he find out about Junjin’s identity?’

Finally, she took a deep breath and said, “Let’s not talk about Junjin first. What’s the matter with your Little Junior Sister? Everyone says that both of you are very compatible. They say that Feng Zixiu is your child with her.”

She did not want to be deceived again. Since he said he was not Feng Zixiu’s father, he had to explain it to her.

Seeing the angry expression on her face, Feng Yili sighed. It was his fault for not handling the matter well and making her sad. Soon after, he looked out the window.. His expression turned stern as he said angrily to the person standing outside the window, “Come over here and explain to my Princess Consort who the child belongs to!”
