Cheng Xiaoxiao had never suffered the same despair as the female ghost in red, so she was not in the position to judge her. She turned back to check the weather outside. Although the skies were so gloomy that she was incapable of determining the time, she reckoned it was almost mid-day. She had to capture this female ghost as soon as possible and head back to Prince Jing’s residence. If Chu Yunshen caught her sneaking out because she got home late, she would have a harder time leaving the residence in the future. If Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to capture this spirit, she had to find out what her unfinished business was. Cheng Xiaoxiao scrutinized the ghost from top to toe with her third eye but failed to see what she was holding onto to. All the other normal spirits had a thread behind them. However, this female ghost had none. Was it because she had passed away for too long and was too po

“Meow meow.”Fish soup?Cheng Xiaoxiao’s eyes glinted as she looked at Chu Yunshen. She was overwhelmed with joy. She finally didn’t have to keep eating milk paste!“Did you hear what Mu Bai said?” Chu Yunshen pulled Cheng Xiaoxiao’s furry head away from his chin. “Stay put.”“Meow.”No way!Cheng Xiaoxiao gently meowed before she continued rubbing his chin again. Chu Yunshen felt a warm sensation in his heart when the warm furry head kept rubbing his chin.He gazed deeply at the little fellow in his arms. Then she stood up on his thighs. Did she want to walk?“Meow.”Cheng Xiaoxiao spotted the smile on Chu Yunshen’s face, so she immediately jumped towards his neck.“Meow meow.”“Hey!”Chu Yunshen pulled the little fellow from his face and touched her nose tip as he said, “Are you trying to stifle me to death?”

Chu Yunshen frowned slightly when he suddenly heard the sound of voices and laughter coming from inside the hall. Were imperial consort Su and Chu Hongyi there too?Sure enough, he spotted Chu Hongyi leaning over the emperor’s table with a calligraphy brush in hand as he wrote on some paper.The emperor stood next to Chu Hongyi, correcting him. “Here and here.”Chu Hongzhen circled a few spots on the paper with his calligraphy brush before patting Chu Hongyi’s head gently and chuckling as he said, ‘Do you get it now?”“Oh! I do now!” Chu Hongyi shouted happily, “Father is simply awesome.”“You’re the one who’s smart and understands right away!” praised Chu Hongzhen proudly. Imperial consort Su stood by the side and prepared ink for them as she smiled and watched them. They were such a picture-perfect loving mother and son. Chu Yunshen sneered coldly

Cheng Xiaoxiao hid behind a pillar and looked at the west side of the gold dragon banquet table.Since the victory banquet was held in Chu Yunshen’s honor, he should sit in the first seat. However, a man around seven feet and eight inches tall dressed in fine clothes was sitting there when Cheng Xiaoxiao looked up at the west side's first seat.The young man looked around 16 years old. He had well-chiseled features and attractive eyes. Chu Yunshen left the second seat empty and was getting ready to take the third one with Xiaowu standing behind him. Cheng Xiaoxiao found it odd. Didn't they hold this victory banquet for Chu Yunshen? Shouldn't he be taking the first seat? Why was someone else sitting there? This young man was rather dumb. Also, Chu Yunshen was acting strange too. He might not care about the seating arrangement, but why did he deliberately leave t

The woman danced. Then she twirled and appeared before Chu Yunshen’s table. Her white robes fluttered amid the cherry blossoms in the air. She threw her long flowy sleeve into the air towards Chu Yunshen’s shoulder. Chu Yunshen subtly avoided it with his eyes on the contents of his teacup the entire time. Pink cherry blossoms floated down and fell onto her temples, down to her sleeve, giving off a sweet-smelling scent as she danced to the music. Cheng Xiaoxiao had already figured out who the dancing woman was while she hid behind the pillar. It was her savior, Wan Xia. She leaned against the pillar and watched somewhat unhappily at Wan Xia as she kept dancing closer and closer to Chu Yunshen. Wan Xia kept gazing at Chu Yunshen with a tender look in her eyes. Although Wan Xia saved her, Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t let her have Chu Yunshen. Fortunately, Chu Yunshe
