Ji Zhangshu didn't press her any further. He believed everything that Bai Xiangxiu and Long Heng had told him, so he silently brought her back to the capital.
Lin Qianzi found it strange. In the past, he had always begged her to have s * x with him, but she had taken the initiative to seduce him along the way in order to comfort him. However, she had never succeeded.
He didn't even touch her. His attitude was extremely cold.
That woman must have said something to him. That must be it.
She tried to question him, but Ji Zhangshu only said, "She's just telling the truth. You didn't do anything. Why are you so afraid?"
Lin Qianzi's face immediately turned pale. She grabbed Ji Zhangshu and said, "No, no, I didn't do anything. Please don't trust anyone."
Ji Zhangshu flung her hand away and left in an unusually cold manner.
The couple slept in separate rooms from then on until they reached the capital.
Ji Zhangshu didn't bring Miss Lin home. Instead, he sent her directly to the Lin residence. At the same time, he delivered a letter of divorce to Minister Lin.
Minister Lin was furious. "What is the meaning of this?"
"Miss Lin came into contact with the enemy and even gave birth to a spy's child.
The Ji family doesn't dare to accept her into the family anymore. From now on, all ties are severed. She can marry as she pleases. "He was also extremely pained because he had liked this cousin of his since she was a child.
Lin Qianzi was greatly affected. She said, "Don't spout nonsense. The child isn't Duan Yunying's. Commander Lu suspected that the child was his younger brother's and insisted on taking the child away.
But didn't you say that you would treat the child as your own, no matter whose child it was? "
Ji Zhangshu was also furious. He said, "If you didn't have anything to do with Commander Lu's younger brother, why would he … Some things don't need to be said. Minister Lin, if you still want me to bring her back to the Ji family, then you might as well kill me on the spot."
Minister Lin was already feeling guilty towards Ji Zhangshu. He knew his daughter very well. Now that he heard Ji Zhangshu's words, there was nothing he could do. However, he was worried that his daughter would no longer have a foothold in front of others after being divorced. He said, "My worthy son-in-law, why don't we put this matter aside for now?
Go back and calm down first. "
"There's no need for that. I've already given her the divorce papers. Tomorrow, I'll have her dowry sent back."
"Ji Zhangshu, how can you treat me like this? You were the one who agreed to this marriage. Why are you regretting it now?
It's not like you don't know that I was taken away by that thief before. He … "
"But I didn't know that you could climb into your husband's bed."
"Pa …"
Miss Lin angrily slapped Ji Zhangshu, causing half of his face to swell up.
However, Ji Zhangshu didn't care at all as he walked out disheartened.
Minister Lin didn't expect him to talk about his daughter like this, so he said angrily, "I don't want such a son-in-law. Beat him out of here."
Thus, there was a rumor in the capital that Ji Zhangshu was beaten out of the Minister's Manor by Minister Lin. He returned to the Ji family with a bruised nose and a swollen face. After that, he fell seriously ill.
After that, rumors started to spread throughout the capital.
Bai Xiangxiu didn't know about any of this. Long Heng had already sent a letter home to the Li Of Gojoseon's residence. He briefly explained that Bai Xiangxiu had come to Peace City to help him, and that Prince Rong had taken her in as his adopted sister because of her intelligence and gentleness. She was currently recuperating in Peace City and would return to the capital after she recovered.
Yes, Prince Rong had thought of a way to help her by taking her in as his adopted sister.
Actually, Bai Xiangxiu didn't think much of it, but Long Heng knew that Prince Rong had won her heart!
Now, Bai Xiangxiu had become the adopted sister of a prince. Furthermore, her family background was considered clean, and her younger brother was a scholar.
It wasn't impossible for her to ask the Emperor for permission to confer her the title of princess consort.
Long Heng hadn't thought of allowing Bai Xiangxiu to stay in Peace City, but something unexpected had happened. Commander Lu had used a strange trick.
The soldiers on the enemy's side had somehow found a way to create something that could explode in a crowd and knock them out.
In the end, Bai Xiangxiu had identified it as an explosive. After they had captured the enemy soldiers and interrogated them, they admitted that it was indeed an explosive.
Bai Xiangxiu was speechless. Why was there a transmigrator after the reincarnated Ya Ya was killed?
She clearly knew that explosives had never appeared in this world before. Therefore, if she wasn't wrong, there must be a transmigrator among the enemy soldiers.
However, when they had captured the prisoners and interrogated them, they all said that they didn't know who had created the explosive. However, because of the explosive, the enemy seemed to have increased their military strength and were thinking of attacking Peace City again.
They had actually created such a terrifying explosive. Fortunately, the enemy didn't seem to be very familiar with it, so it wasn't very successful. It could only injure people but not kill them. In other words, it was more frightening than injuring them.
However, it could allow the warhorses to escape, which almost disrupted Long Heng's formation.
"Do you have a way to deal with this?" Long Heng looked at Bai Xiangxiu. She could talk about it, but it didn't mean that she could do it.
Moreover, this wasn't as simple as a formation. If it was more lethal, he felt that the enemy would be able to easily take over their country, let alone Peace City.
Bai Xiangxiu waved her hand weakly and said, "I need to sleep. I definitely need to sleep."
She needed to sleep to contact the Huo Er. She remembered that after she had given birth, she found out that it wasn't impossible for her to return to the modern world. However, she was in a state of dissociation because she was worried about this world.
The Huo Er's ability allowed it to connect with all the cacti that had existed since ancient times. Perhaps it could find the formula for the explosive.
Prince Rong watched her leave and couldn't help but exclaim, "From the looks of it, she seems to be able to find the solution. Could it be that This King hasn't read enough books?"
After he finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at him because they all had the same thought. After studying for half their lives, they couldn't compare to a teenage girl. It seemed that they really hadn't read enough books.
After Bai Xiangxiu returned, she took out a sachet. There was a paper package inside. She opened the paper package layer by layer, revealing more than ten cactus thorns.
She had brought them out as a precaution. She didn't expect that she would actually have a chance to use them.
She poured the thorns into the sachet. In order to connect with it, she even used the thorns to stab herself.
Since she came here because of the thorns, perhaps she could use this method to quickly connect with the Huo Er.
Perhaps it was because she was too anxious to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
In the end, when Long Heng returned, she moved to the side to let him lie down next to her.
Ever since she acknowledged Prince Rong as her elder brother, no one asked about her. Moreover, it was rumored that she was recuperating, so no one cared whether she was living with Long Heng or not.
