414 Searching For Someone (2)

They were practicing in the courtyard.

As soon as she finished watering the plants, Mo Yuan came to call her for dinner.

The dinner was placed in the courtyard.

Shen Yijia looked in the direction of the door from time to time.

Madam Li said in amus.e.m.e.nt, “Previously, South Wind came back and said that there were many things to do in the government office. Brother Chen won’t be back until later, so he told us not to wait for him to eat.”

“Oh.” Shen Yijia scratched her head.

“Does Sister-in-law miss Big Brother?” Sister Huan asked.

Shen Yijia knocked her forehead. “How did you know?”

The children laughed together. Even Madam Li was full of smiles.

Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks, not understanding what was so funny.

“Isn’t it normal to miss your husband? It’s not like I’m thinking about someone else!” she thought.

The family chatted in the courtyard after dinner.

When she was in the countryside, she did not have much to do at night. She was used to going to bed early. In addition, the children had to wake up early for school tomorrow.

After sitting for a while, Madam Li brought Sister Huan and the others back to their rooms to rest.

Shen Yijia thought for a moment and moved the chair to the door.

Song Jingchen was really late. He only returned when it was almost time for curfew.

There were two lanterns hanging at the entrance of the residence. Under the dim yellow light, one could see the person sitting at the door with her hands supporting her chin.

Song Jingchen jumped out of the car without waiting for South Wind to stop and walked over.

The sound of the carriage wheels turning was so loud, but it didn’t wake anyone up. Song Jingchen felt a little guilty and bent down to pick her up horizontally.

“Hubby, you’re back.” Shen Yijia opened her eyes in a daze. When she saw that it was Song Jingchen, she shrank into his arms and muttered, “There’s food in the kitchen.”

She had slept too late last night and woke up early to send Sister Huan and the others to school today. She had been running around during the day and had not rested at all. She was already exhausted.

“I understand. Go to sleep. I’ll eat later.” Song Jingchen’s voice was very soft.

Shen Yijia nodded vaguely and fell asleep.

In the Imperial Palace.

Ji Yunxi sat in front of the dressing table. At this moment, she was not wearing a veil. The bronze mirror reflected a face that could charm all men in the world.

Her skin was as smooth as jade, and her lips were red. She was delicate and beautiful, and her beautiful eyes curled up slightly.

Coupled with the flower bud between her eyebrows, she looked even more seductive.

Even Mo Yu, who had seen it many times, was stunned.

“What are you waiting for?” Ji Yunxi frowned and reminded her.

Mo Yu came back to her senses and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look again. She picked up a small porcelain bottle on the dressing table.

She poured the powder from the porcelain bottle into the copper basin. When the powder had completely melted into the water, she picked up a handkerchief and wet it.

Ji Yunxi glanced at the porcelain bottle in disgust, closed her eyes, and asked, “Did you find anything?”

Mo Yu wrung out the handkerchief and placed it between Ji Yunxi’s eyebrows. She said respectfully, “I found it. He seems to be here to look for someone.”

“Looking for someone?” Ji Yunxi frowned.

“Yes, he has been living in the Hidden Spirit Temple ever since he arrived in the capital of Great Xia. Someone heard his conversation with the host and mentioned the words ’17 years ago’ and ‘daughter’.” Mo Yu took off his handkerchief.

The flower bud between Ji Yunxi’s eyebrows miraculously disappeared, causing her good mood to plummet.

There was no fluctuation in Mo Yu’s eyes. She picked up the red brush at the side and dipped it in some special paint that she had mixed earlier. He drew the flower between her eyebrows again.

Her movements were very skilled, as if she had repeated it countless times. Soon, a spider lily identical to the one before appeared between Ji Yunxi’s eyebrows.

It was like heaven had crafted it.

Ji Yunxi sneered. “Isn’t his daughter in the Xuanyuan Kingdom’s residence? Why did he come to Great Xia to look for her?”

At this point, she paused and looked at Mo Yu steadily. “You mean seventeen years ago?”

Mo Yu nodded. She clearly knew what her young master had thought of.

Seventeen years ago, the previous Valley Master left the Valley of Heavenly Secrets on her own because she was playful. Later on, she even threatened to leave the valley for a man and gave up her status as the Valley Master.

In the end, she met a bad person. When she returned to the valley, her cultivation was crippled.

Because she had violated the clan rules first, she was still locked in the forbidden area.

The elders had always used her deeds to warn the younger generation, so this matter was not a secret in the valley.

Because she was by Ji Yunxi’s side, Mo Yu knew more than others.

The man who had betrayed that person was Xuanyuan Ce.

Ji Yunxi looked at herself in the mirror and reached out to stroke the bud between her eyebrows. “That woman left the valley 17 years ago and only returned seven years ago. If they had a daughter…”

As she spoke, she suddenly laughed and said faintly, “Mo Yu, there seems to be someone more legitimate than me!”

Mo Yu lowered his eyes. “Even if such a person really exists, she’s only the daughter of a sinner. Perhaps she doesn’t even know divination. Young Master, you’re the only one who’s qualified to be the Valley Master.”

“Is that so?” Ji Yunxi was very satisfied with her answer. Suddenly, her eyes turned cold. “But those old fellows probably don’t think so. After all, they’re very afraid of death. If someone can make them live longer…”
