"Speak, and don't make me ask you a second time."

The two servants were terrified and dared not hide anything, so they had no choice but to tell Nangong Chiyu the exact words.

"Your Highness, we dare not do it again. We shouldn't have said that Miss Yi Huan looks like you, or that she is your illegitimate daughter."

Whether they spoke or remained silent, they were both doomed; they simply awaited Nangong Chiyu's orders.

But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't hear Nangong Chiyu say anything. When he looked up, he saw his prince looking at the deputy minister of agriculture.

Nangong Chiyu had no idea that the two servants thought this way behind his back, or even that he himself thought so.

He wanted to see how Su Luo would react to such words. He wondered if Su Luo was angry because Yi Huan's reputation had been tarnished.

She gave birth to him as her husband, but failed to fulfill her duty of raising him.

She didn't have amnesia. If she were Chen Huaixu, how could Su Luo not recognize her husband, unless she didn't want to acknowledge herself at all?

Thinking about it this way, Nangong Chiyu felt inexplicably angry.

"How dare you speak ill of me! Guards, take these two away and deal with them according to military law."

The guards took the two servants away. Nangong Chiyu returned to the courtyard, picked up the carving knife, but feeling uncomfortable, he threw it back onto the table.

Su Luo assumed that it was the words of the two servants that angered him, and that it had nothing to do with her.

"Huanhuan, eat!"

"Yes! Thank you, Mother. Thank you, Prince Yu."

Nangong Chiyu felt increasingly uneasy. Why was Su Luo refusing to acknowledge him because of her own selfish desires?

According to his observation, the person in his memory was definitely Su Luo. They had slept together and had two children. Didn't she want to give her children a complete family?

Or is there some other reason why she doesn't like him?

But in this world, there aren't that many people who love each other. If he asked himself honestly, he only wanted to take responsibility, not that he liked Su Luo.

"Su Luo, is Chen Huaixu dispensable to you?"

For no apparent reason, Nangong Chiyu suddenly asked her such a strange question.

"Prince Yu seems particularly interested in my private affairs. Chen Huaixu is the father of my children, and I will never forget his kindness in giving my two children life."

Nangong Chiyu: "That's all?"

Su Luo turned her head to look at him and saw that his phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed and his forehead was tinged with anger.

“Prince Yu, you have overstepped your bounds by invading other people’s privacy.”

Nangong Chiyu paused, realizing he had actually been provoked by Su Luo.

The matter of Chen Huaixu hasn't been fully investigated yet, and he's too eager to get himself into character.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent. Nangong Chiyu picked up the carving knife again and finished carving only seven characters.

He was inherently cold-hearted, and only Yi Huan made him feel close to her. But this woman in front of him could stir up his emotions several times a day.

One sentence made him angry, and another sentence made him unable to get angry, which made him feel frustrated.

He was in a bad mood and kept ruining the carving of the seven characters, taking half an hour to finish.

Once the inscription was finished, Su Luo tidied up the things on the table and said to Nangong Chiyu.

"Thank you, Prince Yu. Yi Huan and I will take our leave now."

However, before leaving, Su Luo left him a bottle of iodine solution and instructed him, "Although the wound on your finger is small, it may still get infected. Remember to disinfect it often."

"I'll see you off!" Nangong Chiyu said coldly.

"No need, Yi Huan and I will be there in a little while."

Regardless of whether the two agreed or not, Nangong Chiyu had his carriage ready and took his mother back to the Du residence.

This carriage is very large. In all the time Su Luo has been in the capital, she has only seen two carriages this size that are drawn by two horses.

One was Shen Yuan's, and the other was Nangong Chiyu's. However, Shen Yuan's carriage was too flashy and lacked the composure and grandeur of Nangong Chiyu's.

Upon arriving at the Du residence, Su Luo alighted from the carriage and saw Xie Wanwan. Xie Wanwan was wearing a veil, sometimes looking up, sometimes looking down, and then suddenly taking a deep breath.

"Wanwan, you're back?"

Xie Wanwan stepped forward and grabbed Su Luo's hand, saying emotionally, "Madam Su, we've found the evidence, but I need your help!"

Xie Wanwan was about to get down to business when she saw Nangong Chiyu also get off the carriage, with Yi Huan behind him. He carried Yi Huan down from the carriage.

"This humble woman greets Prince Yu!"

Xie Wanwan bowed to Nangong Chiyu. He had come to pick up Yi Huan several times, and the people in the Du family all knew this important official of the court.

"No need for formalities!"

"Thank you, Master!"

It was clear that the two women were in a hurry, so Nangong Chiyu stepped past them and led Yi Huan inside.

"I'll take Yi Huan inside."

Led by Nangong Chiyu, Yi Huan walked with a cheerful air.

Back in the room, Nangong Chiyu knelt down and gently stroked the strands of hair on Yi Huan's forehead that couldn't be combed up.

Yi Huan smiled, and her lower teeth, which had just been replaced, began to grow in.

"Yi Huan has lost all her teeth and grown so much."

Yi Huan nodded; "Yes! My brother's teeth changed too, and my other two teeth are loose too. Mom said I should shake them often."

"Then Yi Huan must listen to your mother."

"Um!"

Seeing how cute and sensible Yi Huan was, Nangong Chiyu couldn't help but ask, "Yi Huan, do you want a daddy?"

Yi Huan's smile slowly faded. She only envied others for having fathers, but she had no real understanding of the word "father."

"Yi Huan thought, but Yi Huan's father will never come back."

Nangong Chiyu pressed on, "What if you had to choose again?"

Yi Huan didn't quite understand Nangong Chiyu's meaning: was he going to choose a new father?

If that's the case, then only if Mother meets someone she likes and gets married will she and her brother have a new father.

"If my mother likes it, it would be nice if Uncle Nangong could be my father."

Although Yi Huan was young, based on her observations and what her brother said, she sensed that Nangong Qing liked their mother, and their mother was also very good to Uncle Nangong. It was just like the love stories in the novels.

Nangong Chiyu's eyes darkened slightly. The Uncle Nangong that Yi Huan was talking about was definitely not him.

"Yi Huan, tell me, who is Uncle Nangong?"

Without thinking, Yi Huan blurted out, "It's Uncle Nangong Qing."

What? Su Luo and the Third Prince.

"You said your mother likes Nangong Qing?"

"Yes! Uncle Nangong is very good to Mom!"

Nangong Chiyu removed his hands from Yi Huan and clenched his fists.

So that's how it is. That's why Su Luo deliberately didn't recognize him, thinking that he had lost his memory so that she could be with Nangong Qing.

Well, what a Su Luo! He's not even dead yet, and he's already thinking about having an affair.

Su Luo and Xie Wanwan did not return to their room, but instead sat down in the small pavilion in the courtyard.

Xie Wanwan took out a written letter from her sleeve and handed it to Su Luo, saying...

"Madam Su, I would like to ask you to help me arrange to meet someone. I have something important to discuss with him."

Xie Wanwan has already written the letter, but if she wants to see this person, Su Luo will have to make an appointment with him.

Su Luo opened the letter and read that it was a formal invitation from her to the Second Prince to meet at Fu Man Lou.
