Chapter 100: The Butterfly Emerges from the Cocoon
Hu Mianmian covered her two little ears with her hands.
"I heard you. Don't worry."
"Hu Mianmian, do you think I'm a fool?"
Xiao Jingli lowered his eyes and stared at her coldly.
The little guy clearly had an expression of unwillingness to cooperate.
The little fox has a lot on his mind.
Xiao Jingli knew that if he let her go this time, it would be difficult to catch her again next time.
Hu Mianmian was about to retort, but out of the corner of her eye she saw light at Xiao Jingli's fingertips.
The next second, the light flew towards Chen Qingyin.
Hu Mianmian hurriedly reached out to stop it, but it was too late.
She watched the light merge into her mother's body.
The little guy's face was puffed up with anger.
"Xiao Jingli!" She jumped up to his waist and hopped, "How dare you cast a life-changing spell on my mother?"
The so-called life-changing spell, as the name suggests, if Xiao Jingli dies because his cultivation is too low and he cannot maintain his human form, then Chen Qingyin will not be better off either.
It’s really unexpected that the furry white tiger can be so ruthless when it strikes out with its claws.
Xiao Jingli raised his eyebrows and spoke in a casual tone.
"I have to do this to deal with you. They say foxes are the most cunning. I'm afraid you'll run away."
"You!" Hu Mianmian clenched her fists. Although she was angry, she could do nothing about it.
Once the life-changing curse takes effect, it cannot be removed unless Xiao Jingli voluntarily lifts it.
Xiao Jingli bent down and leisurely pinched Hu Mianmian's little face.
"Then it's settled, Hu Mianmian. I'll send someone to pick you up in the palace every three days. See you there."
His handsome smile was so glaring that in Hu Mianmian's opinion, he deserved a beating.
The little guy held back his temper and didn't tickle him: "Got it!"
She was furious.
I just have a little doubt. The life-changing spell is an ancient magic that has been lost.
Even she didn't know it, but she had heard the great wizard of the tribe mention it once.
How did Xiao Jingli do that?
Could this big cat be a ferocious beast from ancient times?
But Hu Mianmian looked him up and down.
The boy's face was as white as moonlight, and it was obvious that he was in poor health and very weak.
It is conceivable that without the Tiger Soul, coupled with the fact that the White Tiger was suppressed in the temple before, his cultivation was severely suppressed.
It looks so weak, it doesn't look like an ancient ferocious beast at all.
Ahead, Chen Qingyin and Ning Guanzhou had finished their conversation.
Hu Mianmian thought to herself that it was bad, it was all Xiao Jingli's fault that she was delayed from spending time with the handsome uncle.
"Handsome uncle~" The little guy took a step and ran over.
She threw herself directly into Ning Guanzhou's arms.
Hu Mianmian raised her big watery eyes and said in a baby voice, "Uncle Shuai, why don't you come to see me and mom recently? Are you busy?"
Ning Guanzhou smiled gently, his eyes full of doting.
After picking up Hu Mianmian, he patiently explained to the little guy: "It is indeed very busy, but you should be free on the Lantern Festival. Would you like to come out and see the lanterns?"
"Yes!" the little guy agreed eagerly.
Ning Guanzhou turned to look at Chen Qingyin, as if he wanted to ask her whether she wanted to go.
Before Chen Qingyin could speak, Hu Mianmian said on her own initiative: "My mother is willing too."
Chen Qingyin shook her head helplessly: "Mianmian! You kid." She reached out and took the little guy over. Hu Mianmian then said coquettishly: "Mom, let's go. I don't remember ever going to see lanterns during the Lantern Festival."
Chen Qingyin couldn't bear it when she heard that.
In the past, when her daughter was unconscious, she didn't dare take her child out during lively festivals like the Lantern Festival.
I was afraid that I would accidentally leave my daughter outside and she would be bullied again.
So Chen Qingyin nodded: "Okay, let's go to see the lanterns together during the Lantern Festival."
Hu Mianmian raised her hands happily and waved: "Great!"
Xiao Jingli looked at the three of them chatting and laughing in the distance, especially the excitement on Hu Mianmian's little face.
Before leaving, she wanted to give Ning Guanzhou a kiss on the face, but Chen Qingyin pinched her mouth.
Xiao Jingli sneered: "What a flatterer, like a fox."
He was about to leave when he heard Chen Qingyin calling him.
"Your Majesty Ninth Prince."
Xiao Jingli turned around, and Chen Qingyin bowed to him: "We're leaving now."
Chen Qingyin understood etiquette, so she naturally had to perform the greeting.
Hu Mianmian in her arms had a sullen face, pursed lips, and looked very unconvinced.
Xiao Jingli raised his eyebrows and stared at Hu Mianmian's face.
Chen Qingyin subconsciously looked at her daughter in her arms, and was shocked to see that her face looked like "I want to fight".
She immediately grabbed her daughter's hand and forced her to wave at Xiao Jingli.
"Mianmian has also taken her leave." Chen Qingyin said on his behalf before leaving.
Hu Mianmian's soft and complaining voice came with the wind.
"Mother, I don't want to say goodbye to him at all!"
"Hush! Don't talk nonsense, you think."
Chen Qingyin was afraid that her daughter would say something offensive again, so she quickly carried her away.
Ning Guanzhou bowed and said goodbye to Xiao Jingli.
Sitting in the carriage leaving the palace, Hu Mianmian was already tired from playing and fell asleep in Chen Qingyin's arms.
Chen Qingyin looked at the swaying light and shadow outside the car curtain, with a look of relief on her face.
The imperial decree had been issued, and from then on she was no longer a wife of the Hu family, but a daughter of the Chen family.
She finally found her lost self today.
Linlang sighed, "Madam has finally had a good life. It's a pity that Liang Yunyan was so cunning that she let her run away."
Chen Qingyin restrained her expression and said, "She is a cruel person. Ning Guanzhou just told me that in order to completely sever her relationship with Hu Yunshen, she wrote a letter of severance in front of the emperor, severing her relationship with Rong'er."
Linlang was stunned: "How can there be such a cruel mother in the world?"
"A gecko cuts off its tail in order to survive." Chen Qingyin pursed her lips. "It's a pity that I couldn't punish her personally, but for a woman, being separated from her own flesh and blood and never being able to meet them again is the most painful punishment. Liang Yunyan deserved it."
From now on, she will take her daughter and live a good life.
Because Chen Qingyin still had to go back to the Hu family to move things, the imperial edict had already reached the Hu Mansion first. Old Madam Hu and the others should have known that Hu Yunshen had made a mistake.
Chen Qingyin was worried that there would be a dispute after returning, so she told Linlang: "Go to the inn in the city and book a private room. Stay there with Mianmian for one night. After I settle the accounts between the Hu family and me, we will look for another house."
Linlang became nervous: "Miss, you want to face them alone? I am worried."
"It doesn't matter. Ning Guanzhou has lent me a team of palace masters. If the Hu family dares to make trouble, I will naturally not be polite to them." Chen Qingyin's eyes were cold.
The carriage went to the inn first, and Linlang carried Hu Mianmian down.
The little guy has fallen asleep and doesn't even know what has been done to him.
Afterwards, the carriage crushed the snow in the dark night and drove towards the Hu Mansion.
Because it’s New Year’s Day, the sound of firecrackers can be heard everywhere.
The New Year is coming, and Chen Qingyin is also ready. Tonight, she will settle all ties with the Hu family, and her new life will begin.
