My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 652: The Petty Mo Yinhe 1

After Mo Yinhe and Si Mingjing returned to the plane, they decided to head back to Yecheng. Bo Leng, missing Bo Fengyin a little, joined them. He wanted to see if the little brat had been neglecting his studies lately, as he had said he would test the boy next time they met. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

When they arrived in Yecheng, the brat took one look at him and made a break for it. Bo Leng, with his long strides, caught up to him and hoisted him up, demanding coldly, "Why are you running?"

"Uncle! Uncle! I’ve been studying very hard every day!" Bo Fengyin said, not daring to meet his gaze.

Bo Leng gave him a knock on the head and then carted him off.

Where they went was anybody’s guess, but all the while, Bo Fengyin was wailing, "Mom, save me! Dad, save me!"

Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe paid it no mind. They glanced over to see the little dragon cub, yelling for help, being taken away by Bo Leng. The couple simply stood by, unconcerned.

"BOO HOO HOO! Brother, save me! Xiaobai, Xiaobai!"

Ye Nianbai raised his little head and watched for a while before dashing over to save his brother. In the end, not only did he fail to rescue him, but Bo Leng also took him away. Talk about losing the wife and the army!

Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe went to the palace in South Garden to ensure the safety of their parents-in-law.

The Elder Madam Ye was beside herself with worry. Upon seeing Si Mingjing return unharmed, she clapped her hands together. "Thank heavens! And my precious little great-grandson? How is Xiaobai?"

Si Mingjing reassured her, "Grandma, Xiaobai is fine too. He’s staying right beside me."

The Elder Madam Ye took her hand, still shaking from the scare.

Ye Siyuan, standing by, said, "Grandma heard that you and Xiaobai were kidnapped, and she hasn’t slept for days. This time, it really scared everyone. That Qu Gaoyang, hmph, he got what he deserved! My Lisao said we must make Gendaya Country pay a heavy price, or they will never learn their lesson!"

"Oh, so he’s already ’my Lisao’ even before the marriage?" Mo Yinhe coolly stood by and gave his sister a glance.

Ye Siyuan blushed and retorted, "Well, he will be mine sooner or later!"

Mo Yinhe snorted. "A daughter married off is like water poured away; that couldn’t be more true."

Ye Siyuan was furious and lunged at Mo Yinhe to kick him. Mo Yinhe sidestepped, and she missed. She then turned to stir up trouble, shouting, "Mingjing, my brother is insulting you! He said a daughter married off is like water poured away!"

Before Si Mingjing could react, Mo Yinhe explained, "Mingjing hasn’t married away; I’m the one who joined her family."

Such shameless words!

Yet, Mo Yinhe wore a look of pride as he confronted his sister. "The whole Undersea World knows that I am the Mu Continent’s sole and uniquely favored male Empress. If you’re capable enough, get Si Lisao to join your family too, as the Prince Consort of Atlantis."

Ye Siyuan was nearly brought to tears by her own brother.

Ye Junqing coughed forcefully and shot his son a warning look. Mo Yinhe toned it down and headed to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.

Ye Xinguang said, "Mingjing, hurry up and give your mother a call. She’s been very worried about you, as have your two masters."

Si Mingjing nodded. She made calls to assure everyone she was safe, then let Mo Yinhe drag her to the dining room for a bite to eat.

In the middle of their meal, Si Lisao made a video call, hinting that she had spent enough time in Yecheng and could return to Mu Continent.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yinhe’s expression changed abruptly, his eyes narrowing into dangerous slits as he glared at Si Lisao on the screen.

But Si Lisao completely disregarded the warning in Mo Yinhe’s eyes and said solemnly, "You’re the one who joined her family, right? Always running back to your own maternal home, what does that look like?"

Si Mingjing couldn’t hold back a chuckle. "Crown Prince, if you want to back Si Yuan, don’t drag me into it. I don’t want to go back yet. However, I do want Gendaya Country to cede land and pay compensation. That’s where you come in, Crown Prince."

Mo Yinhe’s face looked utterly foul. It must have been Si Yuan who called Si Lisao to complain, he fumed internally. That’s why Si Lisao called to support her.

On the other end of the video call, Si Lisao said seriously, "I understand. There’s a city adjacent to Mengcheng that borders Gendaya, called Baitown City. Initially, it belonged to Mengcheng but was later taken by Gendaya. Do you like that piece of land?"

The name was quirky. Si Mingjing asked, "Why is it called Baitown City?"

Si Lisao said, "Probably because it was obtained for nothing."

Si Mingjing was speechless for a moment.

Si Lisao continued, "Baitown City is very close to Mengcheng. I’ve heard you’re the City Lord of Mengcheng. If you like it, you can ask Gendaya to cede that land to you."

Si Mingjing felt that the location didn’t matter; what was key was a strong attitude. They need to pay a heavy price for kidnapping me and to deter their nation, she thought. This incident absolutely cannot be downplayed just because Qu Gaoyang and the Queen of Gendaya lost their lives. Otherwise, if others see in the future that kidnapping me would only cost them this much, wouldn’t my personal safety always be at risk?

Si Mingjing pondered for a moment. "Is Baitown City large?"

"Yes, you can look at the map."

"Then Baitown City it is. Also, I want one of Gendaya’s three national treasures: The Third Eye," she declared.

Si Lisao said, "Okay."

He then asked, "Were you injured?"

Si Mingjing said no, but Si Lisao was still worried. "Song Yuan and the others, I’ll have them return to Mu Continent. Afterwards, I will arrange another group of people for you."

Si Mingjing became alert. "Are you sending Song Yuan and the others back to Mu Continent as a punishment? There’s really no need for that. This time, I myself created the openings and intentionally gave Qu Gaoyang the chance to abduct me. It has nothing to do with Song Yuan and the others. I’m used to having them around, so let them stay here."

Si Lisao’s face turned grim. "Clear rewards and punishments ensure devotion to duty."

"I will punish them myself. There’s no need for the Crown Prince to intervene," Si Mingjing asserted firmly, leaving no room for Si Lisao to touch her people, even if they were originally given to her by Si Lisao.

She was protective of her own. This incident was not the guards’ fault, she determined, so I will not let them return to Mu Continent for punishment.

Later, when Song Yuan learned of this, on behalf of all the guards, he personally came to express his gratitude.

I failed to protect Her Majesty the Queen, and she was kidnapped, Song Yuan had thought, having been prepared to take his own life as penance. He never expected the Queen to protect them so fiercely.

It was Fengjue who informed Song Yuan of this. And Fengjue, in turn, had learned of it through a hint from Mo Yinhe.

Mo Yinhe’s attitude was clear: If Mingjing protects her subordinates and they remain ignorant of it, then that protection would be in vain. He wanted Song Yuan and the others to swear undying loyalty to Mingjing—a truly heartfelt submission. After all, to win people over, one must first win their hearts.

However, Mingjing had been kidnapped this time because she went to the Ying Family to treat Ying Qiao’s illness. The question arose: could Ying Qiao have sold her whereabouts to Qu Gaoyang? Song Yuan had just posed this very question to Si Mingjing when Mrs. Ying personally arrived to apologize.
