Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Chapter 201 Princess and Crown Prince Confined

When Shen Yunxi heard the news that the Wang and Jiang families had been reduced to ruins overnight, and that the patriarchs had become beggars and even had been betrothed to homosexual beggars... she just smiled faintly.

She was busy refining new pills and, incidentally, instructing the disciples in the manor on their cultivation.

She didn't care at all about the fate of these clowns. She had witnessed Di Xuanshang's methods firsthand; these two were lucky to even survive.

"Tsk tsk, the Chaos Sacred Flame is really fast at refining pills, and the quality is also good." Shen Yunxi looked at the pills emitting a shimmering precious light in the pill furnace and nodded in satisfaction.

The disciples in the manor also made rapid progress. Under her pills and guidance, most of them broke through to the Spirit Lord level. Those with good talent, like Shen Yichen, had already reached the second level of the Spirit Emperor, which made her very gratified.

"Big brother, not bad! You've become one of the best among the Shen family disciples!" Shen Yunxi said with a smile as she stood in front of Shen Yichen.

"Little sister, I promised I would work hard to cultivate and protect you!" Shen Yichen said earnestly, his eyes shining with determination.

"Okay, thank you, big brother!" Shen Yunxi replied with a smile, but in her heart she was secretly calculating that the recruitment examination of the Star-Picking Pavilion was about to begin, and she had to seize the time to improve the strength of her disciples.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious bedroom in the Northern Abyss Imperial Palace, Jiang Shuyue was staring blankly at herself in the mirror.

Nourished by the various rare and precious herbs of the Northern Abyss royal family, her injuries have been healed, and her strength has increased from the seventh level of Spirit Lord to the first level of Spirit Emperor.

Logically, she should have been happy, but she just couldn't feel happy at all.

"Six years, a full six years!" Jiang Shuyue clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

She fell in love with Xiao Chuhuan at first sight ten years ago and used every means to become his fiancée.

For the past six years, Xiao Chuhe has remained indifferent to her and has never mentioned marriage.

Watching women her age marry and enjoy sweet love, her heart felt like it was being gnawed by ants, filled with jealousy and resentment.

"Why? Why won't he marry me?" Jiang Shuyue questioned herself in the mirror, her beautiful face contorted with jealousy.

She hinted at it to Xiao Chuhe time and time again, even making it explicit, but he always pretended not to understand and changed the subject.

"Could it be because of Shen Yunxi?" This name was like a thorn, deeply embedded in Jiang Shuyue's heart.

Since Shen Yunxi appeared, his attitude towards her has become even colder.

Although Xiao Chuhuan had never admitted his feelings for Shen Yunxi before, she could sense that he had different feelings for her.

"Shen Yunxi, what's so great about you? Why does everyone revolve around you?" A hint of resentment flashed in Jiang Shuyue's eyes. She secretly vowed to get Xiao Chuhuan and trample Shen Yunxi under her feet.

She had tried to go see Xiao Chuhuang these past few days, but he hadn't had time to pay her any attention.

Jiang Shuyue was turned away for several days in a row. Xiao Chuhuang and Xiao Chuhuan were busy with something and could not be found at all.

She was anxious but helpless, so she could only wander aimlessly around the palace, trying to find out what was going on.

"Have you heard? His Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess have been placed under house arrest!"

"That's right! I heard this time they've gotten themselves into big trouble, even Elder Songhe is involved!"

"Tsk tsk, they deserved it! Who told them to..."

Jiang Shuyue heard every whisper of the palace maids and eunuchs around her. Her expression changed, and she grabbed a passing maid, demanding sharply, "What did you say? The Crown Prince and the Princess are under house arrest? Why?"
