Chapter 2169: Chapter 2167: Tang Feng’s Distress Letter

Bai Ruozhu grew increasingly frustrated. Was something wrong with Tang Feng? How could she possibly go to Chengshui Country with her family in tow? Chengshui Country might not be more peaceful than Danliang. At least Danliang’s turmoil had just ended; what about Chengshui Country?

Also, Jiang Yichun went to Chengshui Country to fight for power. Who would she be helping if she went?

For a moment, the little evil demon inside her clamored, wanting her to help Tang Feng so that Jiang Yichun would achieve nothing. But this thought lasted only a moment; after it passed, she no longer considered it.

She wouldn’t go to Chengshui Country, nor would she seek revenge. She had a more beautiful life and more important things to do and couldn’t live in hatred forever.

But how could Tang Feng, whom she knew, become like this, chasing after power?

Frustrated, she crumpled the letter, but the next second, she reopened it and turned the letter over, staring blankly at it.

”How could it be like this...” she couldn’t help muttering. Seeing her emotions change drastically, Jianqi, who had delivered the letter, worriedly asked, ”Mistress, what happened?”

”Tang Feng’s letter isn’t as simple as it seems on the surface; it’s a rescue message,” Bai Ruozhu said.

Jianqi looked serious, ”What happened to him? How should we save him?”

Bai Ruozhu shook her head, ”He didn’t say. It seems he is very cautious, only using an SOS signal in the letter.”

She couldn’t explain to Jianqi that after turning the letter over, certain words formed an ”SOS” shape, something only fellow modern transmigrators could understand.

For instance, the word ”de” formed the shape of an ”S,” the word ”wo” formed an ”O,” and ”shui” from Chengshui was used to form another ”S.”

Tang Feng must have encountered an extremely difficult situation to use such a method. But he had space, martial arts skills, and capable subordinates, so how could he fall into such a predicament? Could there be experts in Chengshui?

With just his space ability, couldn’t he hide inside it to ensure his safety?

Jianqi was also pondering and suddenly spoke, ”Mistress, I suspect that Tang Feng didn’t encounter danger only after going to Chengshui Country, but was controlled in Danliang. Otherwise, why would he suddenly conspire with Princess Fu’an?”

”Exactly, he shouldn’t be like this!” Bai Ruozhu’s mind cleared instantly. If Tang Feng wanted to seize the throne, he wouldn’t have given up at the start. Even if she regretted it then, it wasn’t the best timing, with Tang Yin in front and King Rui behind. Why conspire at that time?

So the problem likely lies with Princess Fu’an. Only she could easily gain Tang Feng’s trust and then control him.

”It was Princess Fu’an; otherwise, Tang Feng wouldn’t have sought my help this way,” Bai Ruozhu sighed.

She couldn’t help but feel regrettable for Tang Feng. In his past life, he’d been ruined by a woman, and in this life, he encountered a similar one after transmigrating. She had even advised Tang Feng to follow his heart and not be burdened by past events since after all, it wasn’t the same person.

But in the end, something similar happened. Was it fate?

She suddenly thought of Achun. Since Tang Feng sent a rescue letter, did Achun also have difficulties, or was he also controlled by someone?

Fo Lanying? Bai Ruozhu suddenly felt it was possible. Fo Lanying had been to the Enlightenment Tablet and learned the evil techniques taught by the Second Elder. Maybe she indeed had a way to control Jiang Yichun.

She couldn’t help but shiver. She shouldn’t have let him go; perhaps she should have trusted him more!

”We’ll set off for Chengshui Country tomorrow!” Bai Ruozhu said with resolute determination. Jianqi, hearing her tone, knew she had made up her mind.

”To rescue Tang Feng? But we don’t have many people in Chengshui Country, and the Commerce Association’s information network there is limited. It might be hard to find him,” Jianqi said.

”Head straight to the capital city of Chengshui; we’ll definitely find him.” Plus, she wanted to look for Achun and see if he had unspoken difficulties.

Subsequently, Bai Ruozhu went to discuss the matter with her parents, who naturally wouldn’t allow her to leave.

”Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law have both left; what danger could there be? Moreover...” she paused before saying, ”I received news that Achun is in danger. He is the child’s biological father, so I can’t ignore him, can I?”

”What’s dangerous about Xiaojiang? Is he injured, or has he been captured?” Bai Yihong immediately became anxious.

Lin Ping’er also hesitated for a bit and asked, ”What about your child?”

”So I’d have to trouble you, Father and Mother, to help look after him,” Bai Ruozhu said apologetically.

Just then, Little Dengdeng suddenly ran in and shouted, ”Mom, I want to go with you. You can’t leave me behind again. Look, my agility skills have improved a lot. Even Uncle Muyu praised me.”

While Little Dengdeng spoke, he moved swiftly around the room as if his feet were greased.

”Alright, alright, stop running, it’s making me dizzy,” Bai Ruozhu said helplessly.

Little Dengdeng stopped, not out of breath or flushed, and then said, ”My boxing has also improved. If you don’t believe me, watch.”

He then clenched his small fists and demonstrated a boxing routine. Bai Ruozhu suddenly noticed there was a trace of inner strength in his fists. Although it was minimal, it was impressive that this little guy had cultivated inner strength.

”Mom, please, take me with you. I really miss Dad,” Little Dengdeng said, and just as he finished his boxing, fearing his mom would refuse, tears began to flow.

Bai Ruozhu felt a pang of heartache; the child missed his dad as well. A child shouldn’t lack a father’s love.

”Alright, but you have to listen to me when you’re with me. If there’s danger and I tell you to hide, you must hide well,” Bai Ruozhu agreed.

Lin Ping’er suddenly thought of something and asked, ”By the way, where did you hide the three of them last time? I asked Dengdeng later, and he said it was a very safe place.”

Bai Ruozhu paused, thinking of how to explain it.

”It was a secret technique from the Astrology Building, and I can’t explain it clearly. It’s just very safe,” Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment and then evaded the question.

Finally, having convinced her parents, Bai Ruozhu went to bid farewell to her grandmother and aunt. Although Jiao Yunyun was reluctant to let her leave, she knew she couldn’t keep the young ones in the clan. Besides, Bai Ruozhu’s child would remain, and having a great-grandson was comforting enough.

Jiao Ling was very worried and even wanted to accompany Bai Ruozhu, but Bai Ruozhu quickly declined.

”Aunt, make sure to take the medicines I prescribed for you regularly, and take care of your health. Try not to go out for now.”

Seeing her resolve, Jiao Ling reluctantly agreed.

Bai Ruozhu then went to see the clan leader and bid farewell to Fen Jizhi, Bi Tao, and other familiar faces before returning home.

”Mistress, I want to go with you,” Chen Feng suddenly approached and said.

”No, you must stay. It’s not just about being with Lanlan. The Jiuli Clan’s Tenth Elder is researching a way to treat your condition, and you must cooperate to get rid of your troubles as soon as possible,” Bai Ruozhu refused immediately.

”But...” Chen Feng felt he wasn’t being a dutiful guard.
