Chapter 269: Mother and Daughter Reunion

Meng Qianqian followed Xun Qi to an old residence near the Xiang Manor.

The place was in disarray, with numerous masked individuals lying on the ground, clearly having just been through a terrifying fight.

Lao Gao was in the process of setting a dislocated arm back in place for one of his brothers.

"Lao Gao!"

Xun Qi furrowed his brows.

Lao Gao turned around in surprise and hurriedly saluted, "Seventh Young Master!"

"What happened?"

Xun Qi asked.

Lao Gao hesitated, "The Third Young Master came and took the child away."

Meng Qianqian looked around and asked, "Where's Ban Xia?"

Lao Gao vaguely guessed Meng Qianqian's identity and was surprised by her composure. He answered with embarrassment, "She's inside. She insisted on rushing out to her death, so... I locked her up first."

"Miss! Miss!"

Ban Xia heard Meng Qianqian's voice and frantically banged on the door.

Lao Gao hurried to open the door for her.

Ban Xia rushed out crying, "Miss—"

Meng Qianqian squeezed her icy hand, "Are you hurt?"

Ban Xia shook her head and burst into tears, "Bao Shu..."

Meng Qianqian wiped the tears from her cheeks, "I know, get on the carriage first."

Ban Xia added, "Qing Shuang..."

Meng Qianqian said, "Qing Shuang is in the carriage, go and take care of her."

Upon hearing that Qing Shuang needed care, Ban Xia hurried off.

What Ban Xia didn't expect was that Bai Yuwei was also there.

She exclaimed, "Cousin?"

Bai Yuwei nodded and moved aside, making space for Ban Xia.

In the courtyard, Meng Qianqian said to Xun Qi, "Seventh Young Master, you broke your promise."

Xun Qi couldn't refute this.

He had promised to return the person unharmed, but he failed to keep his word.

Strong people don't make excuses for themselves.

"I'll go find Xun Yu and get your daughter back."

Meng Qianqian bluntly analyzed, "Haven't you realized it yet? Xun Yu doesn't even consider you, his sworn brother, as important. He's the biological son, and all of you, whether younger or older brothers, are just stepping stones for his climb to power."

Xun Qi frowned, "You don't need to go to such lengths to drive a wedge between Xun Yu and me."

Although he said this, when he mentioned Xun Yu, his eyes clearly showed a hint of dissatisfaction.

Meng Qianqian stopped there, not saying more.

Xun Qi said, "He should bring the person back to the Xiang Manor. If you trust me, you can wait here."

Meng Qianqian frankly replied, "Unfortunately, I don't trust you."

---

Tan'er and Bao Shu rode their horses, galloping swiftly through the boundless night.

When it rained, Bao Shu had a carriage.

Now that the carriage was gone, the rain had stopped. Wasn't this little piggy's luck against the heavens? It was just that Tan'er's riding skills were too brutal. She was tossed up and down, and her adorable little fairy was blown into a little lion with ruffled fur. She was about to throw up.

"Stop... Stop..."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm going to throw up..."

Tan'er abruptly halted and took Little Piggy off the horse.

Little Piggy calmly stood on the ground, stunned for a moment, then her little knees buckled, and she knelt.

"Ugh—"

She vomited.

Maybe it would be better to let her be captured by the bad guys...

"Little Piggy, be careful!"

Tan'er grabbed the little one and leaped into the air.

Almost at the same moment, a huge net descended from above, landing where they had just been standing.

Tan'er patted her chest, "That was close!"

But as soon as she steadied herself, several auras rapidly approached from behind. She leaped onto the roof.

The guards gave chase, displaying their light body skills.

Tan'er threw a few small poison dart frog bottles at them, "Let the little poison dart frogs play with you!"

Several guards were affected by the poison dart frogs and fell from the roof one after another.

Unexpectedly, one guard silently climbed onto the roof beam. A hand suddenly reached out from between the roof tiles and grabbed Tan'er's ankle.

"Ghosts—"

Tan'er stumbled and fell, and the little one in her arms tumbled out.

Tan'er was shocked, "Little Piggy—"

One of Bao Shu's little hands tightly covered her little pouch, while the other chose to cover her face.

She was indeed a little piggy who cared a lot about her appearance.

But the expected pain didn't come.

The little one fell into a warm and fragrant embrace.

Meng Qianqian tightly hugged the little one and landed safely on the ground.

Tan'er's eyes lit up, "Sister!"

She turned around, kicked off the hand that had grabbed her ankle, jumped off the roof, and rushed towards Meng Qianqian like a little swallow.

Bao Shu lifted her little foot and refused with her feet.

The mother is mine.

Tan'er pushed away the little foot that was pressed against her forehead, "You forgot who saved you just now!"

Bao Shu didn't care. She hugged Meng Qianqian's neck with her little hand and pouted, acting spoiled, "Scared, so scared..."

Meng Qianqian caressed her soft cheek and also reached out to pat Tan'er's head.

When Xun Qi said that they had only captured a maid, she had guessed that Tan'er was in hiding and hadn't been discovered by either side.

"Did you get hurt?"

She asked.

Tan'er thought for a moment, "A little."

Bao Shu immediately sought attention, "Baby hurts! Hands hurt, bottom hurts, riding hurts, and I threw up!"

Meng Qianqian, "Is that so? Let me see."

Xun Qi watched this scene in shock. In just a short time, he had witnessed Meng Qianqian's composure and calmness, her resourcefulness, and just now, her exceptional martial arts skills.

Among the seven brothers, he was the most adept at attacking the heart. With just one encounter, he could effortlessly see through all of their disguises.

But Meng Qianqian was different from everyone he had ever met.

If Lu Yuan was too deep in hiding, making it difficult to fathom, then Meng Qianqian was completely unguarded, yet there was still more to her than met the eye.

Xun Qi stared deeply at Meng Qianqian and walked forward, saying, "I'll send people to escort you back to the Governor's Mansion."

Meng Qianqian replied indifferently, "I've said it before, I don't trust you."

"Even if you deal with these escorts, there will be more behind them."

Just as Xun Qi finished speaking, a team of cavalry arrived, breaking through the night with the might of their weapons and horses.

"Jin Wu Wei?"

Xun Qi was shocked.

She could actually summon the Jin Wu Wei at will!

The appearance of the Jin Wu Wei meant that Meng Qianqian's group was completely safe. No matter how many escorts Xun Yu sent, it was impossible for them to snatch Meng Qianqian from the Jin Wu Wei.

"Xiao Jiu."

Han Ci dismounted.

Meng Qianqian nodded, "Han Ci."

Han Ci pointed to Xun Qi beside him, "Should we capture him?"

"No need," Meng Qianqian said to Han Ci, then turned to Xun Qi, "I want to see how you'll handle the situation now that tonight's plan has failed and you've openly clashed with Xun Yu in the Xun family."

Xun Qi felt a throbbing headache.

This woman had single-handedly broken the deadly trap he had set for her.

From start to finish, she had been completely clear-headed, relying on no one, not even when he had offered his sincere heart. She only trusted herself.

The Jin Wu Wei brought a carriage, and Meng Qianqian had Bai Yuwei take Qing Shuang and Ban Xia to the Jin Wu Wei's carriage.

She herself also got on with Bao Shu in her arms.

She lifted the curtain and said to Xun Qi, "Seventh Young Master, is our bet over?"

Bai Yuwei murmured, "Wasn't it over a long time ago?"

Xun Qi smiled meaningfully, "That's right, it's over. Yinwei Guard, you played beautifully."

Bai Yuwei asked in confusion, "What are you two talking about?"

Meng Qianqian explained, "At the Ten Mile Pavilion, the end of the chess game was actually the real beginning. When we went to pick up Bao Shu, if I had separated from you, you would have fallen into his hands again. And just now, if I had agreed to let his people escort us back, we would have definitely encountered an ambush on the way."

Bai Yuwei gasped, "How could he be so treacherous? I thought he was an honest and trustworthy gentleman! I almost fell for it! No wonder before we set off for the Ten Mile Pavilion, you insisted on contacting Han Ci first."

At the time, she had thought Meng Qianqian was wasting time.

"How did you figure it out?"

Bai Yuwei asked, "Did he show any flaws?"

Meng Qianqian shook her head, "No, he didn't have any flaws, but I didn't need his flaws to see through him."

The more Bai Yuwei listened, the more confused she became.

Ever since entering the Governor's Mansion, she often felt her mind wasn't up to the task.

Tan'er hugged her arms, "Your brain is too small, no matter what I say, you won't understand!"

Bai Yuwei glared at Tan'er, "You talk as if your brain is so great!"

Tan'er raised her chin proudly, "I don't know if my brain is good or not, but my fists are pretty good!"

Meng Qianqian smiled, "Today, everyone has done well. My younger sister is very smart, and she helped me win the chess game. Tan'er is very quick-witted and rescued Bao Shu from Xun Yu's hands. Ban Xia, you also took good care of Bao Shu."

Ban Xia choked up, "Me... Do I count too?"

"Of course."

Meng Qianqian patted Ban Xia, "Our Ban Xia is very brave."

"Waaah—"

Ban Xia was so moved that she cried.

Han Ci rode his horse alongside the carriage.

The group spoke openly without hiding anything, and he heard it all.

This was their Xiao Jiu, who made everyone feel valued and never overlooked anyone's contributions.

She possessed a comforting and reassuring power that drew people towards her.

---

However, Xun Qi returned to the Xiang Manor in the middle of the night and collided with Xun Yu, who was about to leave.

"Xun Qi!"

Xun Yu clenched his teeth, "Who gave you permission to take her away?"

Xun Qi said, "I should be the one asking you that. My well-laid plan was ruined by you, Third Brother!"

Xun Yu was furious, "I ruined your plan? Do you even know what you're saying? Where are my things? Hand them over!"

Xun Qi wasn't afraid of him, "I didn't take your things, Third Brother."

Xun Yu shouted, "You dare to argue!"

Xun Qi met his fierce gaze, "Third Brother! My courtyard was filled with hidden traps. All I had to do was lure her into the room, and I could have trapped her with mechanisms! With her being pregnant, it was the perfect time to deal with her! Since you took her child, you should have kept a close eye on her, but instead, you let her escape! You go and explain it to our Righteous Father yourself!"

"Ah, and Third Brother, the things you lost weren't valuable, were they? For example... our Righteous Father's military pay? If the court finds out that our Righteous Father has been secretly raising an army, do you know the consequences?"

Xun Yu's face turned deathly pale.

Bao Zhu Zhu: Humph! You wanted to capture me!
