The yandere is too beautiful; the fake heiress sneaks kisses through the window every day.

"Between me and Lu Zhenxi, who would you choose?" Shen Ji asked.

"You," Jiang Yu answered without hesitation.

After careful observation, Shen Ji discovered that when the girl talked about Lu Zhenxi, there was no guilt or love in her eyes, and there was even a hint of annoyance.

So the girl didn't like Lu Zhenxi, and didn't realize that he liked her?

Thinking of this, Shen Ji's gloomy mood improved considerably, but when he thought of the way the other person looked at Jiang Yu, his mood darkened even more.

That little rabbit that attracts bees and butterflies should really be locked up.

Shen Ji slowly got up, and Jiang Yu, who was sitting on his waist, slowly slid down and sat on his lap.

He held her waist with his left hand and gently stroked her face with his right. His fair and slender fingers softly brushed away the stray hairs by her ear, and the red rope and gold brick on his wrist shone brightly under the light.

"Remember what you said today." Shen Ji's gaze fell on Jiang Yu's face, his tone unhurried with a hint of joy.

Seeing that the Empress's mood had suddenly improved, Jiang Yu didn't understand what was going on, but it was good that the Empress wasn't angry anymore.

Shen Ji's face finally broke into a devilish smile again, making the Empress dizzy with desire.

Before I knew it, the other person had already been hugging and kissing me for quite a while.

Shen Ji gave the other girl's soft lips a light bite before reluctantly leaving. Looking at the panting girl and her luscious lips, he felt even more pleased.

I was in such a good mood that I held the little girl in my arms and gently patted her to sleep.

After Jiang Yu fell into a deep sleep, Shen Ji gently pried her off, who was clinging to him like an octopus, and quietly got out of bed.

He went outside the door and called out to Tingfeng.

"Go and investigate Lu Zhenxi," Shen Ji said slowly.

Tingfeng smiled slightly, and the next second he handed over a document, "It's been checked."

As a qualified subordinate, understanding your master's thoughts is an essential skill.

Shen Ji looked up at him, took the document from his hand, and stopped when he turned to the second page, staring at a certain spot for a long time.

Suddenly, he let out a cold laugh.

"fiancée?"

"Yes, it was an arranged marriage between Grandpa Jiang and Grandpa Lu when they were still alive."

"However, Miss Jiang is not the biological daughter of the Jiang family. Logically, this marriage should belong to Jiang Mingyue and Lu Zhenxi, but Lu Zhenxi doesn't seem to have any intention of changing his betrothal partner," Tingfeng explained considerately.

The more he explained, the darker the man's face became.

"Yeah?"

"Now that Miss Jiang has returned, the marriage contract should naturally be fulfilled by its rightful owner, don't you think?" Shen Ji raised his beautiful face and smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Tingfeng laughed and agreed, "Of course."

Jiang Mingyue suddenly sneezed in her sleep, felt a chill run down her spine, and shivered as she wrapped herself tighter in the blanket.

Lu Wu, who was completely unaware of this, suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if his partner was about to be poached.

While Shen Ji was peacefully asleep with his little sun in his arms, Lu Zhenxi, who rushed back, only found an empty back garden and a chilly night breeze.

The happiest moment of the day was when I opened my eyes and saw the Empress's stunning beauty.

Looking at the Empress's sleeping face, Jiang Yu liked her more and more, and hugged her and kissed her several times until she woke her up.

Shen Ji dreamed that he had dog spit on his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Yu with bright eyes. He smiled and pulled her into his arms, burying his head in her neck and nuzzling her gently.

Having just woken up, Shen Ji had lost the sharp edges he had when he was fully awake and became much softer. He nuzzled his head against her neck and placed a series of light kisses on her collarbone and neck with his warm, soft lips.

At this moment, he was more like a clingy big dog.

Faced with his unusual behavior, Jiang Yu was not surprised at all, and hugged him and gently stroked his head with great ease.

Shen Ji was fully awake in no time. He was stunned when he remembered what he had just done.

Jiang Yu didn't see his stunned expression. She gently stroked his hair and softly gave him some instructions.

"Your Majesty, I may not be able to visit you every day for a while. While I'm away, please eat well, sleep well, and don't wander off, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ji looked up and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I have something I need to take care of."

"What is it?"

"National affairs".

"..."

After Jiang Yu left, Shen Ji summoned Tingfeng.

"Send someone to follow her and find out what she's up to."

Has the young master finally gotten rid of the Gu worms and is his career-oriented mindset returning, ready to make a move on Miss Jiang?

Tingfeng nodded excitedly, "I'll go right now."

Before he could even leave the room, he heard a slow, leisurely voice behind him.

"If anyone tries to hurt her, remember to have someone take care of it quietly, without her finding out."

"Pat-pat" is the sound of the wind breaking its heart.

Okay, he's overthinking it.

Those damned Gu worms are really powerful.

Jiang Yu had barely stepped into the Jiang family home when Jiang Mingyue stopped her at the door, solemnly handcuffing her hands with a silver bracelet.

"Jiang Yu, the police suspect you are involved in a bombing. Come with me."

Jiang Yu, who had been inexplicably handcuffed, frowned. "What does this mean?"

Jiang Mingyue pursed her lips. "Zhang Wei confessed. That potted plant was given to him by someone on the forum. We couldn't even identify the plant using our biometric system, but you recognized it."

"Jiang Yu, tell me why this is?" Jiang Mingyue's expression was very serious, and every word she spoke was scrutinizing.

"How did you know I know him?" Jiang Yu wasn't nervous at all; instead, she was even more curious about another question.

Jiang Mingyue remained silent, only turning her head to look at Wang Ma, who was hiding behind her.

Jiang Yu followed her gaze and saw Wang Ma hiding behind a pillar, looking guilty.

Wang Ma smiled guiltily, holding a piece of tofu and a bunch of mulberry branches in her hand.

"Miss, have a safe journey. I'll be waiting for you with tofu and mulberry leaves~" Wang Ma said with a fawning smile.

Jiang Yu: ●‿● Thank you!

"Jiang Yu, if you tell me everything you know, you won't have to make this trip," Jiang Mingyue hinted.

Jiang Yu smiled at her and said lazily, "Let's go, let's hear what he has to say."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu's attitude was so firm, and Jiang Mingyue felt it was necessary to inform her of the seriousness of the matter.

"Do you know what it means if you just walk in here without any explanation?"

Jiang Yu paused slightly, turned her head to look at Jiang Mingyue, who was looking anxious, and said in a calm voice with a hint of danger, "It means someone is going to meet the King of Hell."

Jiang Mingyue was shocked.

What era are we in? You're still suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

The two bodyguards, A and B, who were sent by Shen Ji to secretly protect Jiang Yu, looked on with bewildered expressions as Jiang Yu was taken away in handcuffs.

The two exchanged a glance.

The second guard hesitated before speaking, "It seems Miss Jiang has been arrested again. Should we report this to the young master?"

The guard looked up at the sky, sighed, and gave up. "Report now."
