Chapter 371 I’m back
"Oh my, I miss you so much, Guaibinai!"
The first thing Xi Yeming did after returning to the mansion was to visit his adopted daughter Bina. Before his daughter could speak, he happily hugged her in his arms.
"What, what are you doing?"
Bina was quite surprised that even though it had only been a short while, his father looked so happy to be reunited as if they hadn't seen each other for years.
In fact, because the speed of time flows in dreams and reality is different, Xi Yeming has been experiencing imaginary time for nearly half a year.
Bai Huchi was also very concerned about Xi Yeming. She stepped forward and said, "That's great, Your Highness. It's a great honor that you can return safely..."
"Ye Ming!"
Before Bai Hu Chi finished speaking, Lucia hurried over and pushed Bai Hu Chi aside, saying with tears in her eyes, "That's great, Ye Ming. I almost thought I wouldn't be able to see you again."
Xi Yeming stroked the top of his cousin's head with his free hand and said with a smile, "I missed you too, Lucia."
Of course Bai Hu Chi Xi Ye Ming would not ignore it. He turned to the beauty and said, "I heard that Hu Chi is also doing his best to rescue me. Thank you."
Bai Hu Chi concealed his inner joy, crossed his hands and bowed, saying, "This is what I should do, but it is not worthy of your Highness the Prince's golden words."
"Master Xi..."
"Lord Shengyi..."
Selonia and Fumina were also waiting for Xi Yeming's reply.
Xi Yeming naturally smiled at the two girls, "Well, thank you for waiting all the time, I'm back."
Although these faces still made Xi Yeming feel at ease, there was one familiar face missing in this huge mansion.
"A welcome party? It's inconvenient for us to join?"
Angelina and Siyana appeared at the door, and the empty seat on the other side of the eldest princess reminded everyone present of the face who had left.
"Hey, it's been a long time since I last saw Angelina and Siana." Xi Yeming even stretched out two fingers and gestured to the two of them.
"What are you talking about? It's only been less than two weeks, how come it feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time?"
Angelina's expression was very normal, as if what happened in the cave had never happened.
However, Angelina and Xi Yeming were at completely different levels. The scene of them kissing each other lingered in Xi Yeming's mind for a long time, but Angelina was not at all concerned.
"Haha, I miss you all. It feels like a long time since we last met."
"Stop being so literary. Let me ask you how you plan to deal with that idiot."
"Idiot" refers to Shogo Keiki, who stole light magic and forcibly fused the remains.
At present, Masago Keiki is still in a coma. Jenna and Miyashita have imprisoned him in the underground storage room of the "Lost" base and are awaiting his fate.
After the defeat, not only did he lose the body that served as a container, but even the little remaining light magic disappeared completely. It can be said that Masao Keiki was in a state of double whammy.
"I guess it won't be long before Locke Company will send someone to ask for the person," Xi Yeming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly and sinister smile, as if he had already seen the scene of getting a lot of money. He continued, "Hehe, when they come, we have to blackmail them hard!"
"Haha, great minds think alike!" Angelina in front of him responded with a smile, and she and Xi Yeming clapped their hands in tacit understanding, expressing their approval and expectation for this plan.
At this moment, Angelina suddenly seemed to remember something and reminded him, "But, besides this matter, there is another person you must pay attention to."
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the person who spoke, and the eldest princess slowly uttered three words: "Du Zizhen."
Hearing this name, everyone else present couldn't help but frown, obviously concerned about this person.
Especially his identity as a servant of the defected eldest princess made everyone wary.
At this moment, Lucia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted and said, "Actually... speaking of this Du Zizhen, I actually know her."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the curiosity of the people around them. Angelina looked at Lucia with a puzzled look on her face and couldn't help asking, "Huh? How do you know her?"
Facing Angelina's question, Xi Yeming expressed his own opinion first: "Is it because she is Hannah Slanmo's subordinate?"
Lucia nodded and replied softly, "Yeah, that's right."
Seeing that Xi Yeming seemed to know a lot about this matter, and even Lucia provided the same information, although Angelina still had many questions in her heart, she temporarily gave up the idea of asking more questions. After all, since both of them said so, it must be correct.
Then, Angelina turned her gaze to Xi Yeming and asked curiously, "Then how do you know all this?"
Xi Yeming smiled slightly and replied, "This is the news I got from my aunt."
Xi Yeming's aunt Xi Leqiu passed him relevant information about Du Zizhen and the forces behind him.
Because of his trust in his aunt, Xi Yeming believed it without a doubt. Moreover, now even Lucia gave the same statement, there was nothing to doubt.
"So how are you going to face her?"
This sentence is the most important thing. How Xi Yeming should deal with Du Zi is what Angelina really wants to pay attention to.
Angelina had also heard a little about Du Zizhen's desire for revenge. Even Xi Yeming probably didn't expect that he was the one who came for revenge, but ended up being found by someone else.
If it was really Xi Yungeng who killed Du Zizheng's father and took away her sisters, would Xi Yeming sacrifice his own life in exchange?
"I don't believe that my mother would do such a thing." Xi Yeming shook his head and was not prepared to accept Du Zizheng's one-sided statement.
What's more, Du Zizhen may not know the whole story, and it is hard to say that Hannah Slanmo did not interfere.
"Is there no evidence to prove the mother's innocence?"
Angelina asked, "If there is no evidence, don't you plan to kill Du Zizhen directly?"
Attacking the current prince is already a capital crime, not to mention that the other party is a member of the Imperial Court. If this were known to the outside world, he would probably be wanted.
But the eldest princess's words still made everyone shudder. After all, Du Zizheng was her maid who had been with her for some time, so she should have some feelings for her.
Putting his daughter down in his arms, Xi Yeming began to think thoughtfully.
"Even so, I can't let her die."
If Du Zizhen and Shizichengzi were sisters, then she would be the only child in their family. Xi Yeming would never do something like destroying the entire family.
