Volume 1 Chapter 27 The Little Imperial Uncle Backs Her Up

"It is getting late; you should go down and get some rest." Jiang Wan had no choice but to be more explicit, trusting that with Wen Yu's sharp intellect, he would understand.

Lu Ningxi tilted her head slightly to look back at her, saying coldly, "I think there is something wrong with your mind. I will put in a good word with my husband to have you released; I promise I will not make things difficult for you." As she finished speaking, the smile on her face grew even more intense, as if the sunlight were piercing through everything to bake a person alive.

"The Princess's reproof is well-taken; Xian'er has learned her lesson." With Shangguan Honglie's help, Xian'er leaned against several soft pillows and sat halfway up.

Qing Keyi nodded helplessly and gently. She was currently extremely weak and found it difficult to speak, so she had to follow Dugu Yi’s advice and sit quietly to regulate her breathing first, intending to thank him later.

After touring the entire White Mansion with Boss White, Wang Xue remained curious. She wanted to know about Boss White's wife and children; she wanted to understand this godfather of hers.

Shen Xianxue took a step back, her face flushed slightly, only then belatedly realizing what Mu Qingchen had intended to do just a moment ago.

The reason they had the confidence to attempt to swindle Starlight Film Industry was precisely because of this underlying factor.

Jiang Wan found it hard to believe. Had Wen Yu really found over a dozen men to humiliate her and even filmed a video? How could this be possible? Wen Yu was not that kind of person, nor would he ever do such a thing. But even if one took a step back and assumed he truly had done so, there must have been a reason for it.

The rear car door was opened. Tang Jiaojiao remained in a "comatose" state, and Lin Shan moved slightly, allowing them to transfer her onto the gurney.

The Emperor of Liang personally proposed a marriage, intending to betroth the princess to him, but he rejected it without the slightest hesitation.

Quan Xuanhe picked up the bottle of shochu and filled his glass to the brim, then raised it to him. As the clear liquid went down, the topic was considered dropped.

Working entry-level jobs would take an eternity to earn enough money and sufficient credit points to afford a proper apartment and stop living in motels, allowing life to return to its proper track.

Manager Qian nodded busily, asked for Jiang Nuanzhi’s address in detail, and then respectfully sent her on her way.

Setting aside other useless clues, the fact that a treasure map bearing the name of Yan Nantian’s treasure actually led to the tomb of a Mohist disciple, from which a secret manual of Mohist martial arts was recovered, was in itself highly unusual.

After a long while, the explosions echoing through the mountain forest ceased, and the smoke, fire, and dust caused by the blast gradually settled.

Hurried footsteps approached. The two looked up to see it was the men sent to scout for news of the Huben Left Guard.

Other than "zero-dollar shopping," other sources of high income basically relied on scavenging valuable items from trash cans in wealthy districts and commercial plazas to resell. However, scavenging in high-level resource zones came with fierce competition and high risks, and income was actually quite unstable.

Yet, he vaguely felt that something was wrong with the great cauldron. When he contemplated giving up and lying flat, the mottled verdigris on it seemed to shimmer.

Tai Shixue was drenched in fragrant sweat from head to toe, her face deathly pale and trembling uncontrollably; faint cracks even began to appear on her fair, delicate skin.

All of this happened within ten seconds. The people around did not notice at all. Having dealt with the guard, Li Chengjie walked into the hotel openly and leisurely. However, by the time he reached the elevator entrance, it was too late; they had already boarded.

Chen Ping, who had originally thought it impossible to be trusted by Ziying, found a sudden turnaround. Not only did Ziying confide military secrets to him, but he also appointed him as the Zhonghujun. This series of surprises gave Chen Ping the feeling of having found a true patron.

"Are you joking? Without you, how could your subordinates possibly follow our orders? You are our captive now; if you don't behave, don't blame us for being impolite." Yan Hanshui's expression darkened.

In the distance, Yun Ba, accompanied by the Zhong family patriarch Zhong Yang and several guests who clearly held distinguished status, arrived in a flash of several streaks of light.

Xiao Qi was holding his phone, listening to the dial tone while waiting for Gao Siyan to pick up, when suddenly, in a Hummer waiting for the red light in the opposite lane, music began to blare with deafening volume.

Today was an unexpected surprise: a beauty had delivered herself to his doorstep. Moreover, this beauty was the great beauty Liu Yier, whom he had long coveted.

The scream was still on the skeleton man's lips when the poison gas dissipated. It wrapped around the skeleton man in a cluster, and his entire body turned to ash, disappearing from this world, even the ghost fire in his eye sockets vanishing along with him.

Nursing a deep grievance, the Three-Race Allied Army, whose territory had been ravaged by Lu Qianchuan for over half a month, had eyes reddened with bloodlust. They charged frantically, cutting down one Lu Qianchuan cavalryman after another.

After all, even if humans opened fire, most of their weapons were missiles and the like, which required travel time. The Void Seeker's short-range jump charge time was extremely short, so by the time the missiles were halfway there, they had already left their original position.

Sheng Huai took a few light steps forward, squatted beside a footprint left by Long Qing, and reached out a finger to test its depth.

"Go!" The group of police officers rushed into the hole Tang Long had opened. Song Lin followed them inside.

Just then, the dormitory door opened a crack, and a shock of yellow hair emerged, revealing a sharp, bitter face.

The image of Kai Yang covered in blood during the car accident flashed through her mind. The bloody scene was so vivid and clear. Looking at the blood on Kai Yang's face, her heart felt as if it had been pierced by a needle, causing her pain so intense she could barely breathe.

Sitting on the sofa, everyone felt there was nothing to do, so they unanimously decided to go out for a meal together, followed by some shopping. In the blink of an eye, the sun had already set behind the western mountains, and the sky had turned pitch black.

Since Princess Xiaoyang could receive such courteous treatment from the Empress Dowager's most trusted confidante, it was enough to show the Empress Dowager's attitude toward her. The crowd’s thoughts shifted; they were all experts at reading the room and judging the situation, and the way they looked at Xiaoyang instantly changed.

The Emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom was also stunned. After choking back a sob, he decided to tell Qin Meiniang the truth.

Because Ichiro Shūkawa was under his control, without his authorization, no one could shake the Yoshihara family's position in the Mitsubishi Corporation.

The next day, Wen Feiyu did not go anywhere. We had agreed to go look at the peonies here. The Yao Yellow and Wei Purple peonies here were truly beautiful. My body, having just recovered from illness, needed to walk around to build up my strength.
