Sheng Qianmo's deep black eyes suddenly shrank, he picked up her chin, lowered his head and bit her lips hard.
He wanted to hurt her and want her to beg for mercy. Shu Nuan shouldn't be so cold.
But Shu Nuan didn't struggle and let him bite her.
Finally, Sheng Qianmo let her go, stared at her red and swollen lips for a moment, then slammed the door and left.

"Answer me carefully. If you dare to lie to me, you will..." Ning Chengyuan said, glancing at Xuan Jiu who was sitting at the table eating snacks with gusto, and his aura disappeared again, "You are not allowed to eat as a punishment!"
Xuan Jiu: "Ask."
Ning Chengyuan raised his head and looked at him and asked, "How did you and Shu Nuan meet?"
Xuan Jiu paused slightly while eating, and looked up at him. Ning Chengyuan was looking at him with this kid's clear and bright eyes, and felt a strange feeling surging in his heart, but he still forced himself to calm down and patted him. The table said seriously: "I want to ask you something!"
"She was kicked out of the Qing Palace when she was a child. I was considered a guard next to the princess."
Ning Chengyuan raised his hand and tugged on his thin arm, laughing loudly: "Can you protect her?"
Xuan Jiu withdrew his hand and stared at him coldly without speaking.
Ning Chengyuan was treated coldly by him, but he could only suppress a smile and asked, "Why was Shu Nuan kicked out of the palace?"
Xuan Jiu took a bite of the pastry and said calmly: "The king is superstitious, and the princess is not unknown. Later, the king's dandy children started fighting among themselves, and the king recalled all the children from the fiefdom."
"Ah." Ning Chengyuan looked at his red lips that opened and closed thoughtfully, and said casually: "Then it makes sense to say that Qingguo's people are scattered and destroyed."
Xuan Jiu ignored him and continued eating.
"But then again, you are obviously from the Southern Dynasty. This time you colluded with Shu Nuan to murder Prince Sheng, but because of your loyalty to the Southern Dynasty?"
Xuan Jiu: "...Why should I be loyal to the Southern Dynasty?"
Xuan Jiu smiled coldly and said, "You arrest people indiscriminately. You don't even have a chance to explain to others, so you just assume that what you think in your heart is right. I think you will be distracted sooner or later."
Ning Chengyuan frowned and slapped the table: "What nonsense are you talking about, you brat!"
Xuan Jiu didn't bother to pay attention to him and continued to eat from him.
Ning Chengyuan snatched the cake from his hand, glared at him and said, "Speak clearly to me."
"My mother is from the Southern Dynasties." Xuan Jiu said lazily.
Ning Chengyuan suddenly realized, "What does Shu Nuan have to do with Southern Dynasty?"
Xuan Jiu didn't hide anything from him: "A Che is from the Southern Dynasties."
Ning Chengyuan slapped his thigh when asked, "Yes, that's A Che. Isn't he a general of the Southern Dynasty? Why does Shu Nuan know him?"
Xuan Jiu paused, raised his head suddenly and stared at Ning Chengyuan with wide eyes: "A Che is the general of the Southern Dynasty? He... is still alive?"
Ning Chengyuan: "... Live well, you are such a major general!"
Xuan Jiu's heart skipped a beat and he stood up: "I want to find the princess!"
Ning Chengyuan grimaced: "Sit down."
Xuan Jiu glared at him, knowing that he would not be able to get out if he failed, so he had no choice but to sit down and said coldly: "I'm thirsty."
Ning Chengyuan poured him some water and handed it to him without saying a word, "Go on, what's the relationship between Shu Nuan and him?"
Xuan Jiu was not in a hurry to answer his question. He took a few sips of water slowly before saying, "A Che is the person who treats the princess best in the world."
