Chapter 3112: Chapter 3113: Cheesy Pickup Lines

Bai Ruozhu and the others safely returned to their temporary mansion, while the Prince finally couldn’t hold on and fainted.

"Jianqi, have someone change him into dry clothes and arrange for him to be with Nilu," Bai Ruozhu instructed, as it’s easier to treat the injured when they’re together.

"Yes."

Gao Zhou secretly pulled Bai Ruozhu aside to talk.

"Who knows a child better than a father? You had a disagreement with Achun before, definitely because of this Prince, right? What’s your relationship with him?"

Had he said it seriously, Bai Ruozhu might have felt a bit guilty about being questioned by her father-in-law, but Gao Zhou was winking and saying "who knows a child better than a father," with a gleam of excitement in his eyes, making Bai Ruozhu unsure how to respond.

She rolled her eyes at him, "You’re being disrespectful, deliberately causing trouble for your son."

"Nonsense, I’m truly concerned about Achun this time," Gao Zhou quickly put on a serious face.

"He might have crossed over too, just like the friend from my childhood who died of an incurable disease, with the same name and appearance. But something seems off; he can’t remember but finds me familiar," Bai Ruozhu explained.

"Could it be a coincidence?" Gao Zhou pondered.

Bai Ruozhu sighed, "Even if it’s just a coincidence, I feel guilty for not being able to help him in my previous life. Perhaps this is heaven giving me a chance to make amends."

"Indeed, who knows, he might be one of us. Alright, I support you, but don’t have any more disagreements with Achun. Soothe him a bit; don’t mind his cold face every day, he’s actually like a child," Gao Zhou chuckled.

Bai Ruozhu recalled how Achun changed immediately upon hearing her cheesy lines and couldn’t help but laugh, indeed, she’ll use this trick on him from now on.

Soon Jiang Yichun returned, looking rather pale.

"How’s everything?" Bai Ruozhu approached and asked.

He took her hand, "Let’s talk inside."

The two entered the room, and Jiang Yichun began whispering.

"It’s still that group from before. They bear a grudge against me, and this time backing the second prince for the throne is mainly to target us and sabotage our mission," he said softly, lowering his voice even more, "I got information that they secretly have ties with a faction, the same group Nilu discovered. They intend to use the opportunity to clean out my people from the tower."

Bai Ruozhu furrowed her brows as well, still unaware of who exactly they’re up against; their manpower isn’t sufficient, and strong enemies are hard to defeat, with the Zhong Family eyeing them closely. The road ahead seems even more daunting.

Jiang Yichun quickly calmed his emotions, ruffled her hair, and said, "Don’t worry, I have everything under control."

She gave him a smile, "By the way, I rescued the Prince. He was locked in the Water Prison and wouldn’t have survived past tomorrow without help."

"Alright, handle it as you see fit," Jiang Yichun intentionally said lightly, but couldn’t hide the displeasure in his eyes.

This man, indeed, is easily jealous.

Bai Ruozhu stifled her laughter, suddenly leaning closer to his face, scanning him up and down.

"What’s up?" he asked, puzzled.

"You’re acting weird today," Bai Ruozhu continued to hold back laughter.

"How am I weird? I’m not really upset, don’t overthink," Jiang Yichun coughed awkwardly.

Bai Ruozhu giggled, "Weirdly handsome!"

"Huh?" Jiang Yichun froze for two seconds, then his mouth curled up, unable to hold back his laughter...
