C442 Not too long (2/2)

Just as she was about to get a better look at the situation, a few monks walked past in front of her. After the monks passed by, she looked over and saw that Madam Xiao was alone.

”This is the time when the Xiao family is in chaos. How could Madam Xiao have the heart to come to the Nine Flower Temple?” Who was the man she was talking to? ”Where does this familiar feeling come from?”

Lian Ru Yue thought about it, and a trace of doubt flashed past her heart.

”Ru Yue, I'm coming. Let's head back to the manor.” While she was feeling puzzled, Mrs Liu had already said goodbye to her family, and got into the carriage with the amulet from the temple.

After the carriage returned to the mansion, she spoke to her mother before returning to the Immortal Lotus Courtyard. The servants noticed that the Eldest Miss had returned a little different than before. Her eyes were always dazed, as if she had thought of something long ago, and also as if she had been troubled by something …

Actually, Lian Xiyue couldn't help but think of Feng Yunzheng from Madam Xiao's body:

The current Ninth Prince did not lack women. He was graceful, had an extraordinary bearing, and was gradually gaining power. Every time he appeared, many fanatical eyes would follow him. Earlier, Liu Yanyu and Liang Runan, there were definitely many people that she didn't know about. Everyone was after him, waiting for him to speak up. Perhaps, they would all fly into a rage for him.

She remembered that when she was at the palace in her previous life, she had heard the empress dowager at that time, the current Empress, mention it several times. The ninth prince, Feng Yunzheng, had rejected many suitors one after another without taking a fancy to them, so she had no idea what he wanted.

”Alright, I'll marry you.”

”Yue Er, let me marry you.”

The face that said these two sentences slowly merged into one and finally became a person. That person stood in front of her with a fervent and determined expression in his eyes.

”Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss …” While she was lost in her thoughts, Senior Servant Tai excitedly ran in and said, ”The Duke of Xiao and the young Marquis have respected the emperor's decree and come to the palace to apologize to the young mistress. They walked all the way from the entrance of the Xiao family with thorns on their backs, there are many people watching them along the way. You should quickly go out and take a look.”

”Oh? ”He's here?” Lian Ruyue withdrew the reverie in her heart and returned it to the Xiao family. She coldly laughed and said, ”I would like to take a look. After all, it was the emperor's will after all.”

Lian Ruyue had just walked to the front yard when she saw Lian Yanqing standing there with a face full of smiles. When he saw her, he walked over and said:

That scorpion is really half naked. It walked all the way from the Xiao Residence with his son Xiao He on its back. This is very satisfying, and it said that it was asking for punishment for you.

Lian Ruyue's face had an indescribable expression as she calmly said, ”Father, as long as you are happy.”

Lian Yan Qing was startled, his heart shuddered inexplicably as he asked, ”Yue'er, are you still blaming me for the time when the Ninth Prince came to plead for mercy? ”You also know that at that time, the emperor had a crush on you and wanted to recruit you to the palace. How could your father's subject dare to disobey His Majesty's decree?”

Lian Ru Yue smiled and said, ”Of course it's not father's fault. Your daughter understands; doesn't your daughter always listen to your father?”

As she spoke, she turned around to see Xiao Zhenhai leave with a plea for forgiveness. Even Yan Qing was standing under the tree. Now, he was unknowingly intimidated by his daughter. He was a little afraid of his own decision.

The door to the residence slowly opened. Lian Yue appeared. She looked down …

At this moment, he was wearing only a pair of pants. His upper body was bare, and his hands were facing the back. He was carrying thorns on his back as he walked towards the Prime Minister's Hall from Zhengyang Street.
