“Honey, this shoe?” Luo Xuehua seemed to have realized something.
Si Chaoqun took Luo Xuehua to a more secluded place and narrated what happened that day.
It can be said that Luo Xuehua was dumbfounded when she heard this.
“Hubby, you mean that the girl being held by Prince Rong is very likely to be our Si Si, right?”
Si Chaoqun nodded: “I’m sure this shoe belongs to our daughter Si Si, but I haven’t seen the girl, so we can’t determine her identity.”
Luo Xuehua was not as cautious as Si Chaoqun. In her opinion, Si Si’s shoes could not be given to other people to wear. Since that girl has Si Si’s shoes, she must be their daughter.
Thinking of this, Luo Xuehua burst into tears again: “Husband, what did our Si Si go through after we left… wuwuwu… It’s all your fault. Back then, I advised you to rent out part of the mall floor so that you wouldn’t end up with such a heavy loss.”
“We wouldn’t have had to raise money and have an accident, leaving Sisi alone to face all that… wuwuwu…”
Luo Xuehua had completely forgotten her surroundings and vented all the grievances that had been suppressed in her heart these past days.
All Si Chaoqun could do now was to comfort her.
After comforting her, the two decided to go home first and come back early the next morning to wait for an opportunity at the gates of Prince Rong’s residence.

Inside Prince Rong’s mansion, Prince Heng and Prince Jin made quite a commotion after entering.
They finally caught the millennium clam today and carefully searched for pearls inside its belly.
However, after completely dismantling the large millennium clam, they found no trace of any pearls.
At this point, Prince Heng and Prince Jin were completely dumbfounded.
Prince Jin was unwilling to accept this: “Second brother, do you think we might have caught the wrong thing?”
Prince Heng shook his head firmly: “Absolutely not. This is the millennium clam. How can an ordinary river clam grow to such a big size?”
This was indeed true. The millennium clam placed on the ground was as big as the large round table next to it.
The two brothers sat listlessly on their chairs, sighing constantly.
“Second Brother, without the pearls, we have to hand over 10,000 dan of grain, or it will be considered defying the imperial decree,” Prince Jin lamented.
Prince Heng frowned and remained silent.
Seeing this, Prince Jin kept urging: “Second Brother, please tell me, what we should do next?”
“Third Brother, this matter is of great importance. We need to discuss it with the fifth brother and see if he has any good strategies to deal with this.”
“Fifth brother has already decided to defy the decree. Discussing this matter with him will only lead to that outcome.” Prince Jin couldn’t help but complain.
Prince Heng stood up and said: “No matter what, this is a matter between the three of us brothers. It’s necessary to discuss this with my fifth brother.”
As he spoke, Prince Heng strode outside.
They had been to Prince Rong’s Mansion several times before and were familiar with the location of Qi Mohan’s courtyard.
The two of them went straight to where Qi Mohan lived. When they arrived at the gate, they were stopped by Han Yi and Han Er, who were guarding there.
“Your Highnesses, our master ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him tonight.”
When Prince Heng and Prince Jin learned that Qi Mohan had returned with a woman in his arms, they had no intention of bothering him.
However, faced with such a big problem, if they don’t bother him, nothing will be solved.
Prince Jin was immediately unhappy: “I have something very important to discuss with your master, go and report it now.”
Han Yi could also see that these two princes came here in a hurry, they must have something important to do, but their master had ordered that no one was allowed to disturb them.
If he were to report it without knowing the situation, he would be scolded by his master.
Seeing Han Yi in a dilemma, Prince Jin planned to bypass him and go straight into the yard.
Han Yi and Han Er hurried forward to stop him: “Your Highness Prince Jin, our master ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him.”
Prince Jin became even more angry after hearing this. He deliberately raised his voice and yelled: “Qi Mohan, will you put first a woman over your family? Your two brothers come late at night with important matters to discuss, but you let us stay outside for a woman, What kind of reasoning is this?”
If it were in the past, when Prince Jin was impulsive, Prince Heng would stop him a bit. Now he was also anxious. Although he didn’t shout like Prince Jin, he agreed with the action in his heart.
Thus, when Prince Jin rushed into the yard, he followed him in, and the two brothers were ruthlessly blocked outside the door by Han Yi and Han Er.
In Mozhu Courtyard, Qi Mohan was still wearing a thin inner garment and hugging Si Si tightly, as if only in this way could he truly feel the presence of his lover.
Si Si’s consciousness had gradually returned, but she was still a little listless. Her eyelids felt heavy, and she didn’t have the strength to lift them.
At the same time, she could also feel that her body was wrapped by a strong force, giving her an inexplicable sense of security.
She closed her eyes and murmured: “Water… I want to drink water…”
Qi Mohan quickly responded: “Alright, I’ll get you water right away.”
He gently got up, reluctantly helped Si Si to sit on the bed, then stood up poured a glass of water, and came back. He carefully helped her drink the water, when suddenly, he heard Prince Jin outside unscrupulously cursing him for favoring a woman over his family.
Si Si was also forced to open her eyes by the noise, and what she saw was Qi Mohan’s face which would be unforgettable at first sight.
Seeing her open her eyes, Qi Mohan ignored the noise outside and said in surprise: “Si Si, you’re finally awake.”
Si Si still felt somewhat unreal. Even if she fell off the cliff and was rescued, shouldn’t she be in the hospital?
Why was Qi Mohan always by her side?
Moreover, the Qi Mohan in front of her was completely different from the one she remembered. In the videos, he always wore a black robe and was dressed very neatly.
But today, Qi Mohan was only wearing a thin undershirt, and his hair looked somewhat disheveled.
Looking down at herself, she was also wearing the same thin and unfamiliar ancient costume. Recalling back the sensation when she was half asleep, it felt like being in someone’s embrace.
Could it be?
Si Si seemed to have realized the truth and was somewhat unable to believe the facts she had guessed.
To confirm her suspicions, she took the initiative to ask Qi Mohan: “Did we just……?”
Did we do something we shouldn’t have?
Just now, Qi Mohan was only anxious to save Si Si’s life. After all, life was more important than anything else!
At this critical moment, he could no longer care about other things and just tried to use his body to reduce her fever.
However, as time went on, the situation gradually changed.
Qi Mohan began to realize that he wasn’t just saving Sisi’s life, but also enjoying the feeling of being close to her skin.
