After hearing those words, Chen Xinyi immediately sat down in the chair. Her face was dreadfully pale. Her mind was completely blank as well.
Shi Yiqing looked at Feng Tianlan, who was standing in front of him. “If Miss Feng wants to know anything, you can ask me.”
He used to be attracted to her. However, after entering the city, he didn’t dare to have such thoughts anymore. She was the Demon King’s Princess Consort!
Feng Tianlan nodded. She then told them everything that had happened that day. “At that moment, Chen Xinlu wasn’t planning to self-destruct at all. She didn’t expect it to happen, either. Therefore, I want to ask you if you noticed anything strange going on with her the last time you went to look for her. Or did you see anyone who you think is suspicious?”
Shi Yiqing thought for a while and then spoke. “When my cousin and I went to take her home, she refused. She said that she wanted to be the Demon King’s Second Consort to get her revenge against you. She refused to follow us back home no matter how we tried to persuade her. She just wanted to stay there. We went to look for her several times, but her attitude remained the same. Therefore, we decided to just let her be,” he said.
They went to look for her many times, but it always ended up the same. After that, they decided to just let her be. He had heard the news about the United Mercenary Regiment getting attacked. However, he thought that it was a fight between mercenary regiments. Therefore, he never really gave it much thought.
When he accidentally heard the news of Chen Xinlu’s self-destruction, he was stunned.
When Feng Tianlan realized that there was nothing much he could tell her, she glanced at Chen Xinyi, who was still dumbfounded. She then got up and left. She felt very disappointed with women who were too weak.
As for the Chen Family, they were naturally dragged into this after Chen Xinlu self-destructed. She was not in the mood to care about what would happen to them. She still hadn’t forgotten how Chen Xinlu’s father unleashed a fatal blow on her when he saw her.
Right after she exited the Shi Manor’s gate, she saw Si Mobai walking towards her with a sullen face. Feng Tianlan walked forward immediately. “Mobai, why are you here?” she asked.
“You were just attacked not long ago. Why did you come out alone? You didn’t even bring Azurite or a bodyguard with you. Are you trying to scare me to death?” Si Mobai held her hand tightly while scolding her in a deep voice.
Feng Tianlan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “I can’t just not go outside, right? Besides, I want to carry out an investigation and see if I could get something out of it. I can’t just passively get assassinated,” she said.
“You are still talking back.” Si Mobai held her hand tightly and turned around. “Let’s head back and have a meal. I will lecture you after you eat.”
Feng Tianlan looked at the sky. It was noon and was long past lunchtime. She couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Alright.”
She had really ticked Si Mobai off. She still dared to go out alone during such a dangerous time and she had even talked back to him. Besides, she was laughing right now and not taking this seriously. She really needed to be punished!
“Are you done eating?” Si Mobai helped her wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
Feng Tianlan nodded. “Mobai, you really are a caring husband and a loving father.” He had actually prepared a meal and waited for her to eat with him. When she didn’t show up, he still went to look for her.
Si Mobai ordered his subordinate to clean up the table. “I don’t have any child; how can I be a loving father? Why not give birth to one, Lan’er?”
“I heard that giving birth to a child is really painful. Why not have Mobai try giving birth to one too?” Feng Tianlan raised her head and teased him with a smile on her face.
Si Mobai frowned as if he was seriously considering it. “If there is a miracle-working doctor who can make men pregnant, I will do it.”
When his subordinate, who was cleaning up the table, heard what Si Mobai said, his hand suddenly shook. He almost dropped the bowls on the floor. When he felt Si Mobai’s gaze fall upon him, he cleaned up the table immediately and ran away.
“Haha.” Feng Tianlan laughed out loud. “Mobai, you look really cute when you’re serious.”
