"You've found me, haven't you? What's there to be sorry about?"
Nanli could see the guilt on Jiuxiao's face and felt somewhat helpless.
She knew none of this was Jiuxiao's fault, yet he was sure to blame himself.
"Right, Yanyan!"
Nanli did not dwell on romantic trifles but was immediately concerned about Yanyan's condition.
"I had someone take her to be treated. For now, will you come back to the Prince Residence with me?"
After Nanli nodded, Jiuxiao removed his cloak and carefully wrapped both her and the child in it.
Then he lifted her in his arms and carried her out of the mansion.
Jiuxiao had no grievances with those servant women, so he did not take their lives.
However, he showed no mercy to the men Yunting had left there.
He had them killed outright, and their bodies were piled at the gate as if in defiance.
It wasn't long after Jiuxiao had left with his people that Yunting, with a grim face, hurried to the scene.
