Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Four Treasures, Five Treasures Online 1
Her other brothers kept chattering in the group chat, refusing to listen to Si Lisao. They all wanted to come and find their little sister.
Si Lisao sent another message: "Mo Yinhe is an incredibly clever man. If you all come looking for Ajiu today, the child you’ve raised with so much care will be snatched away by him tomorrow. If you don’t want to suffer a double loss, then hold your forces back. Once Ajiu returns to Mu Continent, there will be plenty of time for a reunion."
Sheng Liuyun replied, "The ungrateful brat I raised has already been seduced away. I’ve got nothing to lose, so I’m going to find my little sister tomorrow!"
Yun Yin chimed in, "Susu ran away from home and got snatched up by Mo Yinhe. I also have nothing to lose, @Sheng Liuyun, let’s go together!"
Si Lisao couldn’t stop these two, while the others hesitated. They had to carefully consider Si Lisao’s words.
But knowing where their sister was, yet being unable to see her, made it difficult for them to suppress their yearning. So...
The next day, Si Mingjing received several bouquets of flowers.
All were ordered online, with the flower shop responsible for home delivery.
When she received the first bouquet, Si Mingjing was in the palace garden, enjoying pastries made by Bai Lanwu and Bai Peiluan.
The two elderly sisters had flown to A Country a few days ago to offer incense at Daying Temple and had returned today. When they had free time, they enjoyed making treats for the younger generation, so Si Mingjing was in for one.
Ye Siyuan and Song Tangtang were also there, both of them foodies.
The two elderly ladies prepared milk tea with fresh cow’s milk, accompanied by an assortment of delicious small cakes. The milk tea was rich and fragrant, and the cakes were sweet but not cloying.
Basking in the warm spring sun, they enjoyed the delicious food; even Si Mingjing looked utterly content.
"Granny, this is so delicious. If I get fat, you’re to blame," Ye Siyuan cooed.
Bai Peiluan, also known as Lady Ye, chided with a smile, "You’re skinny as a rake. Where have you put on weight? Eat more. If you don’t dare to enjoy food at your age, then when you get married and have children, you’ll be even more afraid to eat. Life would be so boring if you couldn’t even enjoy eating, wouldn’t it?"
Song Tangtang didn’t care and said, "Siyuan, if you won’t eat, I will. I was born with the gift of never getting fat."
Ye Siyuan felt like hitting Song Tangtang.
Such words were too envy-inducing!
Ye Siyuan was the type who gained weight with just a little extra food. As a dancer, she had to maintain her figure, so she usually didn’t dare to eat recklessly.
Si Mingjing sat beside them smiling. She ate two small cakes, then stopped to chat with the elderly lady.
At that moment, the butler came over with a bouquet of flowers. "Crown Princess Consort," he said, "someone outside has delivered a bouquet of flowers, specifically asking for you to sign for it."
Si Mingjing was slightly surprised. "Who sent them?"
The butler didn’t know.
"Wow! It must be my brother who sent them. Look at this beautiful blue enchantress! Check the card; there’s usually a small greeting card with flowers."
Si Mingjing took the flowers from the butler’s hands and indeed, among the vibrant blue roses, she saw a greeting card.
Ye Siyuan snatched the card and read aloud, "Perhaps I’m not the person you love the most, but I’m the person who will cherish you the most in this lifetime. Your happiness is my joy."
As she read this, Ye Siyuan paused, perplexed. Would her brother send such a message to his wife? How could he, a man so confident, possibly say: ’Perhaps I’m not the person you love the most’?
Ye Siyuan’s teasing smile vanished. "Mingjing," she said, "it doesn’t seem like my brother sent this. Could it be someone who secretly admires you?"
Could it be Qu Liushang?
"I’ve just arrived on Xingguang Island. I don’t know anyone here apart from those living in the palace. How could I have a secret admirer?"
Ye Siyuan was certain. "Anyway, it definitely wasn’t sent by my brother. Blue enchantress roses are artificially colored. What man would send you flowers with so little sincerity?"
Just a moment ago, she had called the blue enchantress roses beautiful; now she was deliberately disparaging them as cheap.
Ye Siyuan changed her tune faster than one could flip through a book. "If my brother were sending flowers, he would definitely send natural, unadulterated red roses!"
Si Mingjing couldn’t think of anyone else other than Mo Yinhe.
She placed the blue enchantress roses on the table, not paying much attention to them.
Ye Siyuan secretly sent a message to her brother: "Brother, did you send blue enchantress roses to my sister-in-law today?"
Mo Yinhe had gone to the Undersea World and was currently in the office of the Atlantis Palace, dealing with government affairs.
Upon hearing this, he responded with one word, "Hmm?"
"Someone just sent sister-in-law a bouquet of blue enchantress roses."
Mo Yinhe’s deep black pupils instantly narrowed into slits.
"Brother, wasn’t it you who sent them?"
"No."
Mo Yinhe did not reply to his sister. Instead, he called Fengjue over and instructed him to investigate the flower shop. Which audacious fool dared to covet his woman?
At that moment, the butler came over with a small gift box. "Crown Princess Consort, your parcel," he said to Si Mingjing.
"I didn’t buy anything. Where did this parcel come from?"
The butler didn’t know; he was just an unknowing porter.
Si Mingjing opened the outer packaging to find a box of exquisite, delicious chocolates. A small card was attached.
It read: "I love you from the depths of my soul. I am willing to protect you with my life. Accept as much or as little as you wish. It was true then, and it will never change now."
Si Mingjing: "..."
Ye Siyuan hurriedly messaged her brother again: "Brother! You didn’t send sister-in-law chocolates, did you? Someone sent her a box of chocolates and even confessed their love!"
Mo Yinhe’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. "!!!"
Without replying to Ye Siyuan, Mo Yinhe directly called the butler. "From today onward, intercept anything sent to the Crown Princess Consort and inform me immediately!"
"Yes, Crown Prince."
As a result, Mo Yinhe found no peace that day.
While he was busy with official duties in his office, the butler would call him from time to time.
"Your Excellency, a parcel has arrived, said to be for the Crown Princess Consort."
"Your Excellency, another parcel has arrived, also for the Crown Princess Consort."
"Your Excellency, yet another parcel for the Crown Princess Consort."
"Your Excellency, there’s another one..."
While Si Mingjing was still pondering who had sent her the chocolates and flowers, Mo Yinhe was already on the verge of a rampage due to the parcels arriving at the palace!
Fengjue investigated, tracing the origin of each parcel. None were particularly valuable, but all were items designed to win a girl’s heart.
There were cakes ordered from cake shops, fruit from fruit stores, and milk tea from milk tea shops...
These were all common tricks to woo a girl.
The only person Mo Yinhe could think of was Qu Liushang, but this didn’t fit Qu Liushang’s style.
"Check who sent them."
Fengjue hesitated to speak.
Mo Yinhe’s stare was piercing. "Speak."
"They’re all from your archenemies," Fengjue said.
Then, Fengjue listed a few names.
Mo Yinhe’s brows rose. They were all Dragon Clan princes from Mu Continent. Was this their way of congratulating the Dragon Clan on a new member?
Across the entire Mu Continent, Dragon Clan members were few and far between. Now that Mingjing’s Dragon Clan identity had been revealed, it was unexpected, yet logical, for them to send small gifts as congratulations.
Though Mo Yinhe was inwardly furious, there was nothing he could do!
"How is the matter of contacting Ye Jingzhe progressing?"
