Chapter 1416 - Drugging Him (1/2)

After a hot shower, Jun Xiqing put on some pyjamas and came out.

“Your Highness.” Ping Ping quickly brought over a clean towel to dry off Jun Xiqing’s long hair. After a moment, Jun Xiqing took Ping Ping’s hand.

“Ping Ping, I’m sorry. I know you are already discussing marriage with Fan Men, but the two of you have to be separated because of me. I want to wait until I find my brother and leave Country A with him. You can then remain behind and marry Fan Men. Lu Yeming will not make things difficult for you.”

“Your Highness, I said before that I owe my life to you. I will go wherever you go. Don’t think that you can just ditch me.” Ping Ping hugged Jun Xiqing tightly.

At her words, Jun Xiqing sighed, feeling very touched.

“Your Highness, this President Lu is really too much. He actually deceived you with a fake jade pendant and wanted to make use of you to kill Young Master. If Your Highness hadn’t been so astute, you might probably never know that you are the true Holy Lady and that you have a brother!” Ping Ping raged on.

Jun Xiqing lowered her long lashes. She felt like her youthful love and adoration for Lu Yeming had already dissipated.

Love was a fragile thing. It could not withstand this kind of plunder and ravaging by him.

As she stood there watching that luxury car of his gradually drive off into the distance, she had let go of him, let go of herself.

“Ping Ping, do you know that I am very happy today, really very happy. That’s because I found out I have a brother, and he has been looking for me all this time. I just…” Jun Xiqing’s eyes had turned red.

The Jun Family had hurt her deeply and she had thought that she didn’t have any family in this world. She thought that she was an orphan.

But she wasn’t.

She had a brother.

She had a real brother.

One who shared the same blood as her and cared for her all along.

When she saw Jun Xiqing so emotional, Ping Ping also got all teary-eyed. Her heart ached for her as only she knew what Her Highness regarded with the utmost importance—her own home and her own family.

“Your Highness, just wait until we find Young Master, he will definitely protect you. By then, he will even help you teach President Lu a good lesson. I’m certain that Young Master will never let anyone bully you.”

Jun Xiqing nodded vigorously and a warm smile, radiant as the sun on a summer day, shone through her tears.

“Oh yes Your Highness, what do you know about Mu Yutang?”

Mu Yutang…

Jun Xiqing had heard of this name. She had interacted with Country C’s Leader Mu over the past three years, and naturally knew of Mu Yutang.

But she didn’t know much.

As a result, when Lu Yeming suddenly asked her about Mu Yutang at the restaurant earlier, all she could say were the words “six years ago”.

“Mu Yanyan is the number one beauty among the socialites now, but this status has been purposely cultivated by her. The number one beauty six years ago was actually Mu Yutang. During her time, many nobles had fallen for Mu Yutang, and the Mu Family became famous because of her.

“But six years ago, Mu Yutang suddenly disappeared without a trace. There has been no news of her at all since.”

Ping Ping recalled, “I think I have heard others speak of this before. Mu Yutang had a boyfriend six years ago.”

“Could this boyfriend be my brother?” Jun Xiqing linked all the information together and mused thoughtfully.

Ping Ping smiled. “Your Highness, we will know for sure after we find Young Master. But how do we find him? President Lu is sure to have set up a wide net for us, just waiting for us to stumble in.”

“Lu Yeming wanted to move me to Peacock Terrace today. I think he planned to make use of me to lure my brother over there. Let’s go to Peacock Terrace tomorrow night.”
