As soon as Zhou Chen arrived at his mansion, before he entered, he was spotted by the concierge Lao Li who was guarding the door, and he immediately cheered happily.
"Master, you are back."
Zhou Chen nodded and asked, "Is everything okay at home?"
Lao Li nodded repeatedly and said: "Everything is fine. Madam is also fine. I will go tell Butler Lu and Madam that you are back, sir."
With that said, he hurriedly ran to the yard and shouted. The yard was not that big to begin with, and almost everyone in the yard heard his voice.
After a while, Butler Lu walked out at the lead, while Gong Yu walked out slowly with the help of the maid.
"Son."
Seeing Zhou Chen, Gong Yu's eyes changed instantly, as if water was dripping from his eyes.
Seeing Gong Yu walking slowly over, Zhou Chen quickly walked up to her, supported her, and said softly: "Why are you walking so fast with such a big belly? Be careful."
Gong Yu smiled softly and said, "I'm fine. I just heard that the young master is back and wanted to see him immediately."
It had been more than two months since Zhou Chen had been to Langya Mountain, and she was pregnant again. It was the time when her mental state was at its worst, and it was also the time when she missed Zhou Chen the most.
It's just that she is not the kind of weak woman who can't take care of herself. On the contrary, she is very strong. Even though she wrote to Zhou Chen several times, she never complained. Instead, she cared about Zhou Chen in every word and asked Zhou Chen to take care of himself.
etc.
How can such a woman who cares about you in her heart and eyes not be loved by others?
"I'm sorry, Gong Yu, I wasn't by your side when you were most miserable."
Gong Yu shook his head, with only happiness on his face and no trace of dissatisfaction.
"Young Master's matters are the most important. I'm fine."
"Come on, I'll help you in."
Zhou Chen supported Gong Yu and carefully walked into the middle courtyard.
Gong Yu is not far away from giving birth, and her belly looks very big, obviously larger than that of a normal pregnant woman. Fortunately, Gong Yu has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her physical fitness is very good. Otherwise, even walking would be very difficult now.
After Butler Lu reported some events over the past two months to Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen waved him away and then talked with Gong Yu.
Since Zhou Chen came back, the smile on Gong Yu's face has not broken. After everyone else left, she grabbed Zhou Chen's hand and refused to let go.
Zhou Chen also kept staring at Gong Yu. As the pregnancy progressed, Gong Yu also experienced pregnancy symptoms that many pregnant women would experience.
For example, spots appear on the face, the figure becomes obviously fatter and out of shape, and even the eyes are a little swollen. This should be the reason for not sleeping well.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gong Yu."
He and Gong Yu have known each other for so many years and have been together for more than a year. This is the first time he has seen Gong Yu in such a weak state.
Gong Yu shook his head and leaned on Zhou Chen's shoulder.
She was indeed miserable these days. She couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and was very depressed. But she could overcome these problems and didn't want Zhou Chen to worry about her because of these things.
After being gentle for a long time, Gong Yu suddenly whispered: "Master, there is one thing I didn't tell you. I was afraid you would blame me."
Zhou Chen asked in surprise: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Gong Yu whispered: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Aunt Jinyu and I went to see my mother."
"Mother? Did you go to my mother's house?"
Zhou Chen was indeed shocked. He really didn't know about this matter, and Gong Yu didn't tell him about it in his letter.
"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't discuss it with you. Aunt Jinyu came to me and said that mother wanted to see me. I couldn't refuse, so I went with Aunt Jinyu. Mother was very happy to see me.
She even cried and asked me to call her mother, but I couldn't refuse, so..."
After saying this, Gong Yu lowered his head, as if I had made a mistake and was willing to be punished by the young master.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly, raised Gong Yu's head, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, this is a matter of time. My mother can recognize you, and we should all be happy. You don't have to feel that you have done something wrong.
After all, my mother is an elder, so if she asks you to go, it’s hard for you to refuse."
He does not object to letting Gong Yu have contact with his mother. Anyway, his current identity has been revealed in front of his mother. Allowing Gong Yu to meet his mother will not only help to promote the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also make his mother, Xiao Zhihan, feel better.
.
Of course he wouldn't have any objection if Gong Yu did it for her if she couldn't do it herself.
Gong Yu felt relieved. She knew that Zhou Chen was not ready to meet his mother now. Although she was passive, she was still worried that Zhou Chen would blame her. Now that she heard that Zhou Chen did not blame her, she no longer felt worried.
Feeling uneasy.
"Young Master, don't worry, I will be very secretive when I go, no one will find out." Gong Yu said again.
"My mother and Aunt Jinyu also made a lot of new clothes for our children and asked me to bring them back. I will show them to the young master later. Mother and the others did a great job."
Speaking of this, Gong Yu's face glowed with the brilliance of a mother. Now she will behave like this whenever it's about her children.
A woman with children and a woman without children are always two different women.
"Okay, I still remember the clothes my mother and nanny made for me when I was a child, especially nanny Jinyu. The clothes she made were the most beautiful..."
…………
"Master, we have determined Qin Banruo's position. When will we take action?"
In a street alley not far from Hong Xiuzhao, Zhen Ping asked Zhou Chen in a low voice.
Because Zhou Chen said he wanted to capture Qin Banrui, he volunteered to join Zhou Chen, so Zhou Chen asked him to follow Qin Banrui.
Zhou Chen asked: "What did Mr. Thirteen say?"
"Mr. Thirteen is ready. As long as Qin Banruo is caught, he can be interrogated at any time. With our methods, Qin Banruo, a woman, cannot handle this."
Zhen Ping had a ruthless look on his face. He was also from the Red Flame Army, and he had been around the world for so long in recent years. Not only was he not a kind-hearted person, he also had many ruthless methods.
Zhou Chen nodded: "After Qin Banrui has been dealt with, I still have to follow Xia Jiang. Let's deal with it quickly. I will take action later and you can take care of it."
That is to say, they are in the capital, otherwise they don't need to be so cautious.
Qin Banruo took out the red sleeve move and prepared to go to Prince Yu's Mansion.
She has been in a bad mood recently because she lost contact with her fourth sister a month ago, and the child's path she asked her fourth sister Juan Niang to break through also disappeared.
As an excellent secret agent, she immediately realized that something was wrong, and the fourth sister, Juan Niang, was most likely discovered.
But after that, there was no movement in Su's house, and Mei Changsu didn't respond at all. She didn't know whether it was because Mei Changsu didn't get the information from Juan Niang, or because of some other reason that Mei Changsu didn't care about it.
she.
But because of the disappearance of her fourth sister, Juan Niang, she could no longer break into Su's house, especially now that the rivalry between Prince Yu and Prince Jing had been brought to light, and Mei Changsu no longer had any contact with Prince Yu.
Mei Changsu did not help King Yu, which was originally a very good thing for her. However, after several accidents, her red sleeve skills were greatly reduced in strength. She failed to do what King Yu asked several times.
As a result, Prince Yu no longer trusts her as much as before.
So she has been very irritable recently. Fortunately, she can still contact Xia Jiang and can serve as a link for King Yu to establish a relationship with Xia Jiang.
Now she has fewer and fewer secret lines in her hands, and she also wants to increase her manpower, but a good secret line is not so easy to cultivate, not to mention that she does not trust outsiders except for the Hua tribe, but the Hua tribe has disappeared.
For many years, it has been very difficult to find surviving Hua people.

The carriage she was riding in suddenly stopped, and Qin Banruo leaned forward. The next moment, she stabilized her body, with a dissatisfied look on her face, and was about to lift the curtain.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed in. Before she could react at all, it hit her with a blow. The next moment, she felt her eyes go dark.
Zhou Chen, who was dressed in black, quickly disappeared from the street while carrying Qin Banwei's body.
Because every time Qin Banruo went to Prince Yu's Mansion, he always walked through some relatively quiet streets with not many people coming and going. Therefore, Qin Banruo was kidnapped. Although some people saw it, these witnesses were basically
With the mentality that the matter is none of your business and that you are hanging on high, leave quickly.
When Qin Banruo regained consciousness, she immediately realized something was wrong, but just when she wanted to make a move, she found that she couldn't move.
Opening her eyes suddenly, she found that she was in a dark room. The next moment, she saw several figures in front of her.
Before she could speak, someone spoke first.
"Miss Qin!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Qin Banruo raised his head in disbelief and looked ahead.
Following the dim light, she recognized several people who appeared in front of her at a glance.
"Mei Changsu, Gong Ziyu, and Mr. Thirteen? You are really in the same group. Did you capture me?"
At this moment, she was horrified. Mei Changsu and the others had caught her. They obviously knew something and were ready to attack her.
"You dare to arrest me, aren't you afraid that King Yu will know about it?" At this time, she could only carry King Yu out, hoping that King Yu could be a bit of a deterrent to Mei Changsu and the others.
But she overestimated King Yu. Mei Changsu said calmly: "Prince Yu won't know that we captured you, so you don't have to test us with words. We will capture you, and we will naturally have enough
Next, I ask and you answer, if your answer satisfies me, maybe you can save a life."
After Qin Banruo's initial panic, although he has not yet calmed down, he has calmed down a little.
"Mei Changsu, what do you want to ask?"
Mei Changsu asked: "I want to know the whereabouts and information of all the hidden clues in your hands, and what else did your master, Princess Xuanji, leave for you?"
Qin Banruo took a breath and asked in horror: "Mei Changsu, who are you? How do you know this?"
Mei Changsu knew even her master, Princess Xuanji, and it was no longer something she could expose by denying it. What shocked her was how Mei Changsu knew this.
Mei Changsu said: "How I know this is not important. What is important is that I am asking you now, not you asking me. Your life is in my hands, so you only need to tell me the answer."
That’s fine.”
Qin Banruo suddenly sneered: "Mei Changsu, since you can know my identity, you must also know what kind of training I have received. Do you think I will tell you?"
"Sure enough, I knew I couldn't ask anything. Anyway, I have made preparations. You are the heir chosen by Princess Xuanji. Don't worry about those hidden clues for the time being. I believe that if Princess Xuanji entrusts you with any important token, you must bring it with you.
.”
Hearing this, Qin Banruo suddenly showed a hint of panic on his face, but he quickly covered it up.
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Mei Changsu smiled and said nothing, but turned to look at Zhou Chen.
Feeling Mei Changsu's gaze, Zhou Chen asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Search me."
"Then why don't you search? I am a man with a family. You are a bachelor. Now you have an opportunity to take advantage of me openly. If you don't take advantage of it yourself, why do you ask me?"
Although Qin Banruo is indeed quite beautiful, Zhou Chen is still very clear about the character of these Hua clan spies. He really has no interest in such women at all.
Mei Changsu looked helpless when Zhou Chen retorted, and in the end he could only look at Mr. Thirteen: "Uncle Thirteen."
Mr. Thirteen was not as resistant as Zhou Chen. He walked up to Qin Banruo and started searching under Qin Banruo's screams.
"Tsk tsk!"
Zhou Chen shook his head repeatedly, causing Mei Changsu to glare at him fiercely.
Soon, Mr. Thirteen found a sachet and handed it to Mei Changsu.
"It must be very important to hide it close to your body."
Mei Changsu opened the sachet and took out a letter inside.
After he finished reading the letter, he breathed out slowly.
"Although I have known for a long time that Princess Linglong and Princess Xuanji of the Hua tribe are very powerful people, but now I know that there is such a secret."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "Prince Yu is the son of Princess Linglong. Do you think he will collapse if he knows the truth?"
"What did you say?"
When Qin Banruo heard Zhou Chen's words, his expression was in disbelief, and he shouted excitedly at Zhou Chen to question him.
Zhou Chen sighed: "Sometimes I really feel strange that a person like you who has no lower limit can still insist on not looking at the tips left by your master, Princess Xuanji. I really don't know if you are too filial or too pedantic.
.”
Mr. Thirteen also looked shocked: "My young master, Mr. Chen, Prince Yu, is he really the son of Princess Linglong of the Hua tribe?"
Mei Changsu raised the letter in his hand: "This is the letter written by Princess Linglong to King Yu. The letter has made it clear that our Majesty is really hard-hearted. Others don't know the identity of King Yu. He
But he knew it clearly; but even so, he still supported King Yu to fight the prince in the ring, obviously using King Yu to train the prince."
"It's a pity that he did not underestimate Prince Yu, but overestimated the Crown Prince. Of these two, one was the most likely to inherit the throne, but ended up like that; the other was the least likely to inherit the throne, but now there is a gap.
The crown prince's position is the closest, but it's a pity that Prince Yu doesn't know it, and he will never be able to get that position."
Zhou Chen said: "Qingwu is the emperor's family. It's normal for father and son to take advantage of each other. Now that you know the biggest clue about Prince Yu, what are you going to do next?"
Mei Changsu said: "Prince Yu's identity determines that he cannot become the crown prince, so even if we do nothing, he will not be able to win over Prince Jing. The biggest target we have to deal with now is still Xia Jiang
.”
"Mei Changsu, Gong Ziyu, who are you? What is your purpose?"
When Qin Banruo saw Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu talking like no one else, he ignored her and shouted excitedly.
But Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen still ignored her.
"Uncle Thirteen, I will leave her to you to dig out all the hidden clues of the Hua clan as much as possible. As for her, don't let her appear in the capital again."
Mr. Thirteen asked doubtfully: "Little master, don't you need to kill her?"
"Forget it, let's send her to be with that Juan Niang."
After saying that, Mei Changsu said no more and walked out of the darkroom with Zhou Chen, ignoring Qin Banruo's screams in the darkroom.
