Chapter 560

“昭 (zhāo) means bright sun, and it is a good character.”

Zhong Jie suddenly sighed, "Speaking of which, we're kind of on the same page."

Huo Zhao and Chen Xi were both bright.

The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

However, the smile on Madam Chen's face quickly vanished: "Then what about the Yun family?"

Speaking of the Yun family, Zhong Jie also had some doubts.

Now that Yun Wan is the Crown Prince's daughter and Yun Xi is Huo's biological daughter, where is the Yun family's daughter?

Zhong Jie was only puzzled for a moment before she quickly said, "Never mind them. I heard that Zhao Zhao... no, Xi'er, is not doing well in the Yun family?"

She didn't know much, only that Huo Shu mentioned it briefly in a letter.

Madam Chen sighed, "It's more than just bad."

As Madam Chen recounted Yunxi's various experiences after she went to Luoyang, Zhong Jie gradually grew murderous.

"...So, even if you are indeed Xi'er's biological mother, I cannot hand Xi'er over to you so quickly."

Madam Chen's face was no longer smiling: "If your family has the patience, then you should try to build a good relationship with Xi'er yourselves. If that doesn't work, we will never give up, and we are not afraid of any forceful measures."

Zhong Jie quickly replied, "I understand, I understand. You're all doing this for Xi'er's own good."

"Don't worry, Xi'er is the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. Of course I will treat her well. If I can't, I have no face to force her back."

Hearing Zhong Jie's words, Madam Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, deep down, she still didn't let her guard down.

After all, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Who knows if the Huo family is kind on the outside but bitter on the inside?

She needs to keep a close eye on Yunxi.

Just then, a loud bang came from upstairs. It turned out that the door to the guest room had been kicked open.

Immediately afterwards, a disheveled figure rushed out. Only after seeing that Madam Chen was safe and sound did Chen Zongwen breathe a sigh of relief.

Madam Chen forced a smile and said apologetically, "Please excuse my rudeness, Madam."

"That's not true."

Chen Zongwen staggered down the stairs, his face still contorted with embarrassment: "Madam, where are we? Why are we here?"

Last night he was inexplicably very hot, but he drank too much and was dizzy and couldn't get up. Even when someone threw him, he didn't realize it.

Madam Chen briefly recounted what had happened the previous night, and Chen Zongwen looked at Zhong Jie with deep respect: "I see, thank you for your help, Madam!"

Zhong Jie stood up to return the greeting.

"Oh right, this is Xi'er's mother."

Madam Chen's words completely stunned Chen Zongwen, who was still not fully sober.

"......who?"

“Xi’er’s mother, we just talked, that’s right.”

Chen Zongwen was stunned.

Zhong Jie was a little at a loss, but Madam Chen pulled her to sit down: "It's okay, let him think about it himself, then we'll eat."

Zhong Jie nodded, but she still felt uncertain.

——

Before long, it was almost noon when there was movement at Yunxi's room door.

At that time, everyone was sitting in the private room and turned to look when they heard the noise.

Madam Chen watched as Zhong Jie, who had been relaxed and at ease just a moment ago, suddenly became tense and even involuntarily stood up.

As Yunxi came out of the door, Zhong Jie greeted her with a tray: "Are you hungry? Have some breakfast?"

Yunxi blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.

Out of politeness, she accepted the tray and nodded her thanks.

Zhong Jie almost burst into tears.

Helpless, Madam Chen took two steps forward to help her back, and then called to Yunxi, "Xi'er, come out and eat."

Yunxi responded and followed them to the private room.
