General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 400: Each Family Arrives (2)

"I didn't expect she was here with you?" Bai Yichen asked curiously. "How do you know her?"

"She was kidnapped, and I was kidnapped too, so we got to know each other." Ji Xiaomu said with a smile and told her story of being kidnapped.

Bai Yichen didn't expect that there would be a connection between them.

"No wonder the stepson died suddenly, so this is why." Bai Yichen raised his eyebrows and said.

"Dead suddenly? Wasn't he missing?" asked Ji Xiaomu puzzled.

"Need I say more? If someone can become the city lord, how can he not have some skills? It's not difficult to make a person disappear silently." Bai Yichen said with a smile.

"I see." Mother Ji originally thought that the city lord did not care about her daughter, but now it seems that he cares too much and does not know how to get along with her daughter.

"The city lord was almost going crazy looking for her. There was no clue about her in the city, so he went to other cities to look for her." Bai Yichen said, "I didn't expect that she was right under his nose. He could never have imagined that his beloved daughter was so close to him."

"It's impossible that we didn't know about such a big commotion?" Ji Xiaomu was puzzled. Was it because her village was too remote?

"Of course you don't know, he doesn't even need to find an excuse for his daughter. If people knew his daughter was missing, believe it or not, countless 'daughters' would come to claim him as their father." Bai Yichen laughed, "Daughters are his weak spot. If people knew, they could blackmail him into doing anything."

"That's the vital point." Ji Xiaomu understood and said, "Then how can he find it?"

"He's looking for his adopted son." Bai Yichen smiled evilly, "What a good reason, isn't it?"

"Indeed. Even his own daughter believed it." Mother Ji raised her eyebrows. The twists and turns inside were really difficult to figure out.

"What are you going to do?" Bai Yichen asked curiously.

"I've already told you the answer, haven't I? My Twelve is pursuing her lover, and she's welcome to stay as long as she wants." Mother Ji smiled and blinked.

"I understand." Bai Yichen understood and smiled knowingly.

"By the way, as I told you last time, people from various major families will be here tomorrow and they want to see you." Bai Yichen remembered the important matter and said to Ji Xiaomu.

"It's here so soon? Didn't they say it would take several days?" asked Ji Xiaomu curiously.

"The situation over there is a bit serious. The princes are trying to force them to take sides." Fang Chen explained, "If they don't find a way to make a living, it will be a disaster."

"The kind where the whole family was silenced?" asked Mother Ji.

Fang Chen and Bai Yichen nodded.

"So bad! I guess we'll have to talk about it tomorrow." Ji Xiaomu looked at Fang Chen, "Tomorrow I'll dress up as a guard to protect you, and I won't let them threaten you."

"I like that you understand me so well." Ji Xiaomu felt relieved and happily hugged Fang Chen's arm.

"...Cough cough cough, that's enough for you guys." Bai Yichen was speechless and pretended he didn't exist.

"Why are you still here?" Fang Chen rolled his eyes at Bai Yichen. This guy was really an eyesore and had no vision at all.

"...You're just killing the donkey after it has done its job? Don't you care about it?" Bai Yichen looked at Ji Xiaomu and complained.

"...This...I am a protective person and never like to help others." Mother Ji smiled apologetically. Of course she chose her own husband.

"...I'm leaving." Bai Yichen was so angry that he turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped. "I'll have someone bring the clothes to you later, and send a carriage tomorrow morning."

"Thank you." Ji Xiaomu smiled and waved at Bai Yichen's back.
