Seeing Chu Feiyang staring at him with a spying look, Jiao Da quickly shook his head. When the prince and the master were together, he always stood guard at the door of the study and had no idea what they discussed. But every time they came out after talking, their faces were not very good, as if they had had a verbal dispute. If it weren't for the prince and his grandchildren, he would probably be just a poor old man in his twilight years!

Chu Feiyang's eyes were bright and sharp, and his gaze at Jiao Da was fierce. However, no matter how strong his gaze was, Jiao Da's expressionless head shook his head, which still explained the problem!

"Eat! Why are you talking so much nonsense while eating? Meng'er is much more polite and quiet! Don't you think about who I am, your grandfather? How could I suffer a loss?" Chu Nanshan tore off a tender chicken leg with one hand, opened his mouth and bit off half of the chicken meat. He chewed with his eyes slightly narrowed, and his expression was very enjoyable. "Grandpa is old, and the throne will be handed over sooner or later. Instead of letting you fight to the death, it is better to settle it early! Grandpa knows your ability! Grandpa also knows the ability of little girl Meng! Don't refuse!"

Yun Qianmeng put down her bowl and chopsticks, looking at the melancholy that accidentally slipped into Chu Nanshan's expression. A hint of worry could not help but surface in her eyes. She said softly, "Grandpa is still strong and healthy. This throne was earned by Grandpa with his flesh and blood. How can we get it without working for it?"

While power is great, Yun Qianmeng also understands that the higher you climb, the harder you'll fall if you do! Although Chu Nanshan is wholeheartedly paving the way for his grandson, Chu Feiyang's personality might not be so easy to accept! And for herself, the troubles of being a princess are likely to be far greater than those of Prime Minister Chu's wife!

"Pah!" The chicken bones were thrown onto the table. The King of Chu wiped the grease from his mouth, frowned, and said, "What do you mean by 'old and strong'? How can I not accept my age? Jiao Da, help me up and go back and have the doctor take my pulse. I've been having stomach pains lately. I'm afraid it's just my age and my body is not doing well!"

As he spoke, Chu Nanshan forced his arm into Jiao Da's hand and dragged Jiao Da out of Mengxin Cottage together!

Yun Qianmeng looked at the pile of chicken bones and the pottery jar without even any soup left on the dining table, with helplessness in her eyes. Even a young man would get bloated after eating a whole chicken. The King of Chu was not sick at all, he just ate too much!

After waving to the maids to clear away the leftovers, Yun Qianmeng took Chu Feiyang's hand and walked out of Mengxin Cottage together. The sky outside was already pitch black, but the stars dotted in the sky were shining brightly, and the flickering light illuminated the land under their feet like a guiding light!

Compared to the warmth inside the house, it was chillingly cold outside. However, compared with the coldness in front of Xiahou Ying's tomb during the day, the prime minister's mansion seemed much more lively!

"You don't even need to put on more clothes if you want to go out!" Seeing that Yun Qianmeng had only changed into a home dress and an amber jacket, Chu Feiyang's eyes showed dissatisfaction. He was about to take Yun Qianmeng's hand to walk back, but Yun Qianmeng pulled him to continue walking forward!

"I just finished eating, and my body is full of heat, so I won't be cold! Besides, sitting in the room after eating every day is not only easy to cause indigestion, but also makes you always drowsy. It's better to take a walk after dinner, which is good for your mood and body!" Let Chu Feiyang feel the temperature of her hand. After assuring herself that she was not cold, Yun Qianmeng smiled and spoke, stepping on Chu Feiyang's shadow, and moving forward steadily step by step!

Chu Feiyang watched her little movements, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. He slowly tightened his grip on her hand, pulling her firmly to his side, not letting Yun Qianmeng have a chance to fall! But because he understood the purpose of Yun Qianmeng's actions, he cherished the person in front of him even more!

"Feiyang, if Grandpa insists on this, we should just accept it!" Yun Qianmeng understood Chu Feiyang's pride, so she brought him out to let the outside air cool his mind. "Instead of handing the throne to someone Grandpa doesn't like, why don't you take over the Chu Palace!"

Chu Feiyang turned his head and stared at Yun Qianmeng's slightly lowered profile. Her fair skin glowed with a pearly radiance under the moonlight, as smooth and lustrous as the finest white jade, yet not glaring enough to make people feel tacky. The restrained radiance made Yun Qianmeng look noble and elegant, and her radiant eyes reflected a ray of wisdom, which made Chu Feiyang feel very good for a while. He was indeed not as resistant to King Chu's proposal as he was at the beginning!

Yun Qianmeng only said half of her words, but Chu Feiyang understood all her hidden meanings!

After all, Grandpa holds a great deal of coveted power, especially the awe-inspiring Chu Army, which is an impenetrable fortress. If someone with ulterior motives were to gain the throne of King Chu, Western Chu would face a catastrophe. And if Emperor Yugan were to revoke the title of King Chu, the Chu family would be doomed! Rather than sit and wait for death, it's better to strike early, sever everyone's hopes, and carve out a new path for the Chu family!

"Meng'er, if grandpa knew that you were a lobbyist, he would be so happy!" Chu Feiyang paused slightly and pulled Yun Qianmeng, who was walking in front of him, in front of him. When she looked up at him in confusion, he slowly said this!

At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart that he was always prone to compromise in front of her!

But after hearing his complaints, Yun Qianmeng smiled. Her smile was so bright and dazzling that it was even more eye-catching than the stars in the sky!

"You have already made up your mind, I am just going with the flow!" For Chu Feiyang, even if he wants to sit on the throne of King Chu, he will get it through his own efforts!

But now that the King of Chu told him that he would inherit the throne, Chu Feiyang naturally felt a little uncomfortable. Yun Qianmeng was just trying to soothe the discomfort in his heart, but it would not change the determination that Chu Feiyang had already made in his heart!

The next morning, Yun Qianmeng was having breakfast when she saw Yuan Dong walk up to her, bow, and whisper in her ear, "Miss, the Second Madam will take the Second Young Master and the two young ladies of the Xie family to Puguo Temple at 3:00 AM!"

The hand that was picking up the food paused slightly, a faint smile appeared in Yun Qianmeng's eyes, and then he asked lightly, "Are there any companions?"

"I saw a carriage from the Wen Mansion traveling with us. It seems that this time not only the Second Madam Wen is going, but even the First Madam Wen is going as well!" Yuan Dong diligently told the story in detail about everything she saw!

Yun Qianmeng slowly stirred the slightly hot porridge in her hands, but the smile on the corners of her mouth became even colder under the contrast of the heat. This Xie's ability to act was really extraordinary. What she said the day before yesterday was implemented today. It seems that this Xie not only has first-class social skills, but also has extraordinary ability to act!

"Miss, it seems that the Second Madam loves her niece very much. She takes the two Miss Xie with her wherever she goes, but leaves her own daughter alone in the palace!" Mu Chun picked up a piece of steamed bread for Yun Qianmeng and analyzed Mrs. Xie's behavior in a low voice!

Yun Qianmeng picked up a piece of steamed bread from the small plate and took a gentle bite, slowly savoring its flavor. Although it was bland, it still had a chewy texture. She then spoke slowly, "Didn't Second Mother tell me Jie'er wasn't feeling well when we went to the palace the other day? I'm sure she hasn't fully recovered yet. It's unusually cold these days, so naturally, we don't dare take her out!"

However, Chu Qingyang has been idle these days, and has been following Xie. Today, he even followed a group of noble ladies to Puguo Temple, which is really curious!

"Miss, a group of people came to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and said they wanted to see the Prime Minister and Miss!" At this time, Yingxia walked in quickly. Seeing Yun Qianmeng having breakfast, she immediately saluted and then quickly reported!

"Who is it?" Putting down the dishes in his hands, Yun Qianmeng took the handkerchief handed to him by Mu Chun, wiped the corner of his lips, and asked with some confusion!

After all, apart from the King of Chu, there is no one else in Kyoto who dares to cause trouble at the gate of Prime Minister Chu's residence!

"I don't know either! But, Nanny Shangguan heard the noise and went over to deal with it!" Yingxia shook her head honestly, but she was a little curious about the people's clothing. "Miss, I see that the girl standing at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and knocking is dressed differently from us! She looks a bit like an alien!"

Hearing Yingxia's word "foreign race", the three words "Xiahou clan" popped up in Yun Qianmeng's mind unexpectedly. The calmness on her face gradually turned into solemnity. She stood up quickly, stepped out of the room quickly under the puzzled gazes of several maids, and walked towards the gate of Chu Xiangfu!

As he reached the gate, he saw Butler Hong ordering people to open the main gate of Prime Minister Chu's Mansion. Outside the slowly opening main gate stood an old man in his seventies, and next to him stood a young girl. The old man's eyes were sharp with accumulated wisdom and calmness. The years had left deep grooves on his face, but it was not difficult to find that he must have been a handsome man when he was young. Although he was old, his back was as straight as a pine tree. Every step he took on the stairs revealed the calmness and composure given to him by age. The majesty emanating from his body made people feel ashamed invisibly, and they could not help but bow their heads to such an old man!

The girl next to him was as young as a flower, with a youthful smile on her energetic face. Although she was not very old, from the way she carefully supported the old man, it was clear that she was a filial person!

Those smiling eyes are more impressive than the usual pairs of beautiful eyes that hint at ambition. Her skin, as white as snow, is tinged with a faint pink. Her naturally dark eyebrows and naturally red lips create the image of a peerless beauty. Her crystal clear eyes are especially the finishing touch embedded in the girl's face, making her unforgettable!

Looking at her clothes again, unlike the wide-sleeved and flowing clothes of Kyoto women, the girl's dress has narrow sleeves and is form-fitting. The material is not the hard-to-find silk, but an extremely comfortable blend of cotton, linen and silk. The colors are extremely rich and colorful, giving people a strong visual impact!

Watching the two people slowly enter the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yun Qianmeng gradually came to a conclusion about their identities. She immediately led a few maids behind her to wait inside the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. With her knees slightly bent, she respectfully bowed to the old man, "Grandson's wife greets grandfather!"

The old man paused slightly because of Yun Qianmeng's appearance. He looked at Yun Qianmeng with insightful eyes and carefully examined the woman who saluted him. He felt that Yun Qianmeng was not very old, but she exuded a great aura. She was able to remain calm in front of people she met for the first time, and her aura was neither arrogant nor impatient. She kept saluting until Yun Qianmeng spoke, which made the old man's eyes, as calm as the surface of a lake, flash with a smile!

The young girl beside him stared at Yun Qianmeng with wide eyes. A hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. She immediately let go of the old man and walked to Yun Qianmeng's side, saying with a smile, "Grandpa, this must be my cousin's wife!"

"Get up!" It was not until this moment that the old man slowly spoke. Everyone only felt that his voice was low, which formed a sharp contrast with the loud voice of King Chu. From the impression given by the old man at this moment, the patriarch of the Xiahou clan must be a person with a calm character, completely different from Chu Nanshan's outward cynicism!

"Grandfather, please forgive me for being late, granddaughter-in-law!" The Xiahou clan leader has a pair of sharp eyes. The good and evil of human nature cannot be hidden behind these eagle-like eyes. All disguises are in vain in front of the old man. Yun Qianmeng does not seek to be recognized by everyone, but only wants to show her sincerity in front of Chu Feiyang's relatives!

"Where is Fei Yang?" But the old man changed the subject. Seeing that there were only female relatives in the huge Chu Xiang Mansion, the old man's voice was filled with a hint of concern!

However, Yun Qianmeng understood a little about the old man's character from his words. She thought that this Xiahou clan leader was similar to the King of Chu. Neither of them paid much attention to etiquette. Otherwise, why would he not hold her accountable for her negligence?

Moreover, under the deep-rooted idea of ​​favoring boys over girls in ancient times, the old man only brought his own granddaughter with him. In addition, Chu Feiyang also said yesterday that Xia Houying was the old man's most beloved daughter. For the sake of his daughter's happiness, he chose Chu Pei after careful selection!

However, even the wisest man can make mistakes. Although Chu Pei has a good family background, he is not a good match for Xia Houying. It's a pity for such a beautiful woman like Xia Houying!

"In reply to Grandfather, my husband went to the palace to attend the morning court! He may be able to return home at noon! Please come in and have a rest!" Yun Qianmeng smiled friendly at the girl, and then led the Xiahou clan members who entered the Chu Xiang Mansion to inquire inside the mansion!

"Cousin, my name is Xiahou An'er! My father is grandpa's eldest son, Xiahou Yong! It's just that my father stayed in the clan to handle some things, so I came with grandpa!" Xiahou An'er was a lively girl. Looking at Yun Qianmeng who exuded a calm aura, Xiahou An'er was immediately envious, especially when Yun Qianmeng handled it with ease when facing her grandpa with an expressionless face for the first time, which made Xiahou An'er admire her very much. She enthusiastically took Yun Qianmeng's arm and walked towards the hall of Chu Xiangfu together!

Yun Qianmeng watched Xiahou An'er clinging to her, and a smile crossed her mind. She instinctively thought that Xiahou An'er must be a straightforward girl, completely different from the strange impression Chu Jie had on her. So she smiled and said, "Cousin An'er, you must have been exhausted from the long journey. I'll have the girls take you back to your room to rest!"

But Xiahou An'er didn't look tired at all. Her big, round eyes were darting around, taking in everything in Prime Minister Chu's residence. Finally, she pouted and complained, "Cousin, if my cousin hadn't married you, this Prime Minister Chu's residence would really look a bit like a Buddhist temple. There wouldn't be a single flower to be seen. It's nowhere near the natural scenery of our Luo City!"

"An'er!" After hearing Xiahou An'er's blunt words, Clan Leader Xiahou spoke sternly, which frightened Xiahou An'er so much that he immediately stuck out his tongue at Yun Qianmeng mischievously, and wrinkled his nose at Clan Leader Xiahou's back, but still shut his mouth honestly!

Seeing Xiahou An'er's frank expression, Yun Qianmeng patted her hands and said softly, "If you feel that your courtyard is not to your liking, tell the maids to plant some flowers and plants. Don't let yourself down!"

Hearing Yun Qianmeng's concern for her, Xiahou An'er immediately nodded with a smile on her face and mouthed "thank you" to Yun Qianmeng!

This time, the Xiahou clan brought not only the old patriarch and Xiahou An'er, but also twenty trusted confidants and three hundred guards!

Due to the large number of people, Yun Qianmeng asked Butler Hong to arrange the others in the courtyard west of Prime Minister Chu's Mansion, while the Xiahou clan leader and Xiahou An'er lived in the backyard, and a few smart maids were sent to serve Xiahou An'er!

After everything was arranged, Yun Qianmeng sat down opposite Xiahou An'er, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fine Biluochun tea. After the fragrant and smooth tea slid into her stomach, she slowly spoke, "Grandfather and cousin have been exhausted from the journey. They must rest well in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while. Let us also show our filial piety!"

Hearing Yun Qianmeng speak, the Xiahou clan leader's gaze, which had been looking straight ahead, instantly turned to Yun Qianmeng. Seeing her with a smile on her lips and a calm gaze, sitting quietly beside her without a trace of tension or uneasiness, he felt even more satisfied with Yun Qianmeng. However, he had been the clan leader for a lifetime, so naturally he had developed a serious face that could not be changed. But his eyes softened a little, and he nodded at Yun Qianmeng!

"Hahaha!" The hall was quiet, but at this moment a burst of hearty laughter came from outside the door!

Yun Qianmeng knew it was the King of Chu who had arrived. She immediately put down the teacup in her hand and stood up. She looked at the lifted door curtain with a smile and bowed to Chu Nanshan, "Meng'er greets Grandpa!"

"Girl, get up quickly. Don't get tired!" Chu Nanshan strode into the hall. He felt even more relaxed after seeing Yun Qianmeng. Then he asked Yun Qianmeng to get up with a distressed look. Unexpectedly, this caused the Xiahou clan leader to frown slightly!

"An'er greets Grandpa King Chu!" Although Xiahou An'er was a little active, she also knew etiquette. Especially since Chu Nanshan was her cousin's grandfather, she naturally felt closer to the King of Chu!

"Little girl, I didn't expect you to come with your grandfather! Grandpa will host a welcome party for you tomorrow!" Seeing Xiahou An'er saluting him, Chu Nanshan immediately made a bold statement, but his eyes eventually fell on the Xiahou clan leader sitting in the first seat. "Brother, you are finally here! I have finally been waiting for you to come!"

As he said that, Chu Nanshan was about to walk forward to hug Chief Xiahou, but Chief Xiahou dodged him!

"It's been a month since we last met, and Your Highness has become more approachable!" Implicitly mocking Chu Nanshan's recent behavior, Patriarch Xiahou returned to the first seat and spoke coldly!

Chu Nanshan, however, didn't care much and landed beside the Xiahou clan leader. He took a hearty sip of the tea served by the maids and then said, "I have always been like this. But my brother has become more and more courageous!"

After hearing Chu Nanshan's indifferent response, the Xiahou clan leader retracted the spikes that had just stood up on his body and said with a hint of melancholy, "I'm old now, how can I have any courage! This time I came to the capital, in addition to the matter you mentioned, I also want to hand over the position of clan leader to my children. From now on, I will also learn from the prince and live a life of ease and pride! However, before I go back, I want to go see my Ying'er. In all these years, as a father, I have never seen her once!"

Ultimately, the Xiahou clan leader still felt a sense of unease! Back then, he had married his beloved daughter to Chu Pei, but Xiahou Ying died in childbirth, leaving him, a man of old age, to see her die young. Furthermore, Chu Feiyang had been without his mother's support since childhood, leaving the Xiahou clan leader heartbroken. It was no wonder he had been so cold to the King of Chu just now. The anger he felt was only clear to the person involved.

But his words made the King of Chu put away the smile on his face, and immersed himself in regret, and more importantly, guilt. Thinking about what his son had done, the King of Chu was filled with shame and anger!

"I heard that Chu Pei returned to Beijing with his second wife some time ago!" The Xiahou clan leader specifically mentioned the second wife. Although he must not like Chu Pei in his heart, it did not prevent him from collecting the other party's data and information!

"Yes!" People who have done something wrong always look timid and submissive. Even if this person is the King of Chu, when facing the guilty Chief Xiahou, he still lowered his head and replied in a low voice!

"I guess he has never visited Ying'er!" Seeing the King of Chu like this, the Xiahou clan leader understood in his heart, but still couldn't help feeling distressed!

"Mother, it's enough for her children to visit. Why do we need so many strangers to disturb her and disturb her peace!" At this moment, the door curtain of the hall was lifted, and Chu Feiyang walked in with a chill. When he saw the Xiahou clan leader, he immediately knelt on one knee and said loudly, "Grandson greets grandfather!"

"Okay, okay, get up!" Seeing his daughter's only child, the Xiahou clan leader was naturally happy. He immediately stood up and helped Chu Feiyang up. He looked him up and down, then nodded with satisfaction. "Feiyang is right. Why let those flies disturb your mother's peace? I believe your mother is also happy to see them put on a show!"

Chu Feiyang respectfully helped the elderly Xiahou clan leader to sit down, and even more obediently followed Xiahou clan leader's words and said, "Grandfather is absolutely right!"

Seeing the grandfather and grandson chatting so happily in front of him, King Chu's face darkened. He recalled in his mind the scenes when Chu Feiyang saw him every time. He either yelled at him or drove him away. He never knelt down like he did when he saw his grandfather. He suddenly felt aggrieved and even doubted whether his original decision was right or wrong. If he had known earlier, he would not have let Xia Hou come to Beijing, which made him feel even more depressed!

"Your Highness, the master is here!" At this time, Jiao Da, who was guarding outside the door, flashed into the hall!

Upon hearing this, everyone's smiles instantly faded from their lips. Chu Feiyang glanced at Yun Qianmeng, who then stood up with a smile. She bowed to King Chu and the Xiahou clan leader, and said softly, "Grandpa, grandpa, your granddaughter-in-law will take my cousin back to her room to rest first!"

As she spoke, Yun Qianmeng walked to Xiahou An'er's side, smiled lightly, took Xiahou An'er's hand, and led her out through the back door of the hall!

At the same time, Chu Pei walked into the hall with steady steps. Seeing his father-in-law whom he hadn't seen for more than 20 years, he bowed and said, "My son-in-law greets my father-in-law!"

"It turns out to be Lord Chu. I, the clan leader, am not worthy of Lord Chu's courtesy. Please don't embarrass me, Lord Chu!" Clan leader Xiahou snorted coldly, stood up after leaving these words, and walked out of the hall without even looking at Chu Pei!

Upon seeing this, Chu Feiyang immediately asked Butler Hong to follow and take his grandfather back to his room to rest!

"What do you mean by this?" As soon as the Xiahou clan leader left, Chu Pei stood up straight, staring at the King of Chu who was sitting aside drinking tea with gloomy eyes, and asked in a cold voice!

"What do you mean?" The King of Chu pretended to be stupid and blinked at his son, but in his heart he was suppressing the anger he got from the Xiahou clan leader, and his fingers holding the teacup became more and more powerful!

"Father, aren't you afraid that the emperor will think that the Chu family has joined forces with the Xiahou clan? By then, I'm afraid no one will know how the Chu family died!" Chu Pei's sharp eyes swept over Chu Feiyang, who was also sipping tea. Seeing that his eyebrows were 90% similar to Xiahou Ying's, he felt uncomfortable and immediately turned his eyes away to stare at Chu Nanshan!

"Father, you are worrying too much. Grandfather came here to visit relatives and for family affairs. When did it come to the matter of the Chu family and the Xiahou family joining forces? Even the emperor cannot casually doubt the loyalty of his subjects! I am very curious. Even if father is a high-ranking official in the frontier, he must be very busy with official duties in Youzhou. Otherwise, how could he not wait to return to Kyoto for twenty-three years? I just don't know how long father plans to stay in Kyoto this time. Don't delay the people's livelihood and country in Youzhou!" Chu Feiyang saw the King of Chu's disappointment just now. This grandfather who raised him and taught him everything he knew has long been a part of his life. How could Chu Feiyang allow Chu Pei to disrespect Chu Nanshan?

Besides, Chu Pei has been away from home for more than 20 years and has never cared about his father. What qualifications does he have to criticize Chu Nanshan's behavior?

"Is this the way you talk to your own father? If it were Qingyang, he would definitely not be as unruly as you!" Chu Pei didn't expect that his son would accuse and question him in public. He glared at Chu Feiyang with his eyes as sharp as torches and said angrily!

"Father, have you forgotten that I have never had any parental guidance since I was a child? How can I compete with my younger brother who has been with you since childhood and has received your personal guidance?" Chu Feiyang sneered sarcastically, not caring about his background at all, nor about others poking at his pain. "Besides, father also grew up under the care of grandparents, but I haven't seen how much respect he has for them. It seems that I have inherited my father's behavior in this regard!"

With all his roads blocked by Chu Feiyang, Chu Pei not only glared at this son whom he had never spent more than a day with, but also felt that Chu Feiyang had touched a sore spot in his heart!

"Fei Yang, go see Meng'er, I want to say a few words to your father!" At this time, Chu Nanshan spoke slowly. He was silent just now but not really indifferent. The smile that always hung on his face had already disappeared instantly when Chu Pei accused Chu Feiyang. At this moment, he looked like an endless sea surface, and the sunlight was reflected on the mirror-like sea surface, with an enchanting light that made people tremble. I wonder what kind of waves will be set off in the depths of the sea next!

Chu Feiyang looked at King Chu worriedly, and when he saw that he was hinting at him to leave, he put down the teacup in his hand, and without even looking at Chu Pei again, he strode out of the hall!

"Pei'er, you are not qualified to blame Feiyang! No one knows his behavior, character and temperament better than me, his grandfather! When you blame Feiyang, have you ever looked back at the pain in others' hearts? You are so uncomfortable that you put all the pain on others. Is this your demeanor and mind? You have been managing Youzhou for so many years, and you have been praised by the people and rewarded by the emperor. Why can you treat the people as your children, but be so indifferent to your own son? "Sending Chu Feiyang away was the last bit of dignity that Chu Nanshan left for Chu Pei as a father! But he would not allow others to blame his most beloved grandson!

"Then why didn't you consider my position and feelings when you forced me to marry Xia Houying? In your eyes, the people of Western Chu are your subjects. Can your son's fate be sacrificed for these subjects?" Unexpectedly, Chu Nanshan's words provoked a round of questions from Chu Pei. I saw a mocking look in his eyes, but after the mockery, Chu Pei regained his usual solemnity and said coldly, "It's an old matter, why bother to pursue it again! Father should know his son's current wish. I have been preparing for this wish for more than 20 years. I hope father can lend a helping hand!"

But Chu Nanshan sneered and denied it, "Do you think it's possible? Have you forgotten the position of our Chu family?"

"Everyone's stance can be changed. It all depends on how my father measures it in his heart!" At this moment, Chu Pei's solemn eyes hid a restless ambition. After suppressing the old matter that made many people unhappy, he talked about plans for the future!

But the King of Chu shook his head firmly and said, "It seems that your trip back to the capital is destined to be in vain!"

Hearing this, Chu Pei was neither angry nor annoyed. Instead, a sneer appeared on his face and he asked, "Not necessarily!"

At this moment, Chu Pei's personal bodyguard walked in quickly and whispered a few words in his ear. Chu Pei's expression suddenly became serious. He looked at Chu Nanshan again, then turned around and left Chu Xiangfu!

"Miss, Miss Xiahou is so beautiful, and she looks a bit like the Prime Minister!" After settling Xiahou An'er, Yun Qianmeng returned to Mengxin Cottage, but she was wondering in her heart how the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were getting along in the front hall!

"They are cousins, so what's there to be curious about if they look alike!" He shook his head and smiled helplessly. This Muchun is just curious about everything!

"But, Miss, aren't you curious about what the Madam looks like? Miss Xiahou is already very beautiful, and I'm sure the Madam must be a peerless beauty as well!" Mu Chun poured a cup of hot tea for Yun Qianmeng who was reading a book, and thought to herself with a frown!

"Prime Minister!" At this moment, the sound of maids' greetings came from outside. Yun Qianmeng gave Mu Chun a look, asking her to leave the inner room. She put down the book she had just read a page of and stood up, ready to greet Chu Feiyang who had already walked in!

Unexpectedly, Chu Feiyang moved very quickly. As soon as Yun Qianmeng stood up, he sat down on the round stool where she had just been sitting. Then he held her wrist and pulled her to sit on his legs. He put his arms around her waist tightly and buried his head in her shoulder blades!

"If you're tired, go to bed and lie down for a while!" Yun Qianmeng gently stroked Chu Feiyang's high-tied black hair with her bare hands. She sighed inwardly and immediately understood that he must be feeling uncomfortable, otherwise he wouldn't behave in such a childish manner!

"Then lie down with me for a while!" A muffled voice came from the clothes. Chu Feiyang tightened his arms even more, not giving Yun Qianmeng a chance to escape!

Hearing his insatiable demands, Yun Qianmeng's pity instantly turned into amusement. She immediately held up the handsome face that refused to lift its head with both hands, staring intently at the aggrieved black pupils, and said word by word, "I still have to arrange today's lunch. You can lie down for a while!"

"Madam Shangguan will take care of these things herself, so why bother with all that effort!" As he said this, someone arrogantly walked towards the bed with the person in his arms without waiting for others to refuse!

"Chu Feiyang, have you forgotten what day it is today? How can we leave your grandfather and cousin aside?" Yun Qianmeng grabbed Chu Feiyang's clothes tightly and reminded him with a serious face!

But suddenly she noticed a flash of smile in Chu Feiyang's eyes, and immediately jumped out of his arms, put her hands on her hips and glared at Chu Feiyang, angrily saying, "You're making fun of me!"

However, just when she was free, she was caught by Chu Feiyang again. She felt his chin lightly touching her head, and a deep voice came from above her head, "My mission is to make my husband laugh!"

Meanwhile, Yun Qianmeng was lying softly in Chu Feiyang's arms, her eyes seductively catching his attention. She asked seductively, "I wonder if my performance satisfied my husband?"

After saying that, those two small hands with sweet fragrance actually slowly explored along the front of Chu Feiyang's shirt, and her teasing eyes were staring at Chu Feiyang's expression intently. When her eyes suddenly darkened, the big hand holding her waist pressed her body into his arms even harder, and the other hand caressed her cheek, then pressed down his handsome face...

"Ouch, my feet are sore from standing so long!" Unexpectedly, just when the four lips were about to spark, Yun Qianmeng suddenly pushed Chu Feiyang away with both hands, causing him to stagger back a small step. She then waved her hands to dispel the excessive heat around her body, sat down on the round stool, picked up the book placed aside, and began to read again without distraction!

Little did he know that after being rejected by Yun Qianmeng, Chu Feiyang's face turned terribly dark. Just as he was about to step forward to punish the girl, he heard Mu Chun's report from outside!

"Come in!" Turning a page, Yun Qianmeng asked Mu Chun to go into the inner room to report!

When Chu Feiyang saw that he could not punish Yun Qianmeng for the time being, he turned around and sat on the edge of the bed with a dark face, staring at Mu Chun who walked in with cold eyes. Mu Chun was so scared that he immediately lowered his head and reflected on whether he had done something wrong and why the Prime Minister's gaze was so terrifying!

"What's the matter?" Seeing Mu Chunjing standing in front of her but forgetting to speak, Yun Qianmeng reminded her and shook her head at Chu Feiyang behind her. How could this girl scare her like this? How hateful!

"Your Majesty, Madam, Guard Xi requests to see you!" Upon hearing Yun Qianmeng's question, Mu Chun remembered why he came in and immediately spoke out!

"Take him to the side room and wait!" Thinking that Xi Lin must have discovered something, Yun Qianmeng immediately stood up, lowered her head to look at her clothes, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, she planned to walk out!

"Want to escape!" But Chu Feiyang was so tall and long-armed that he instantly caught her in his arms. He lifted her palm-sized face with one hand, raised his eyebrows and stared at the charming face in front of him, and spoke in a dangerous voice!

"Oh, my husband is the most magnanimous, please forgive me this time!" Yun Qianmeng was anxious to see Xi Lin, so she lowered herself and begged for mercy, and even stomped her feet unconsciously, with a pitiful look in her eyes!

Chu Feiyang wanted to let her go, but he saw that she gave in so quickly just to see his guards. He felt very uncomfortable. Without saying a word, he pressed his lips against hers, tasted her lightly, and then started to chase her. After a fierce attack, when both of them were panting and flushed, he finally let go of the lips that were kissed red by him!

Looking at his masterpiece, Chu Feiyang's resentment finally subsided a little. In a good mood, he took Yun Qianmeng's hand and walked towards the side room!

"This subordinate greets the Prime Minister and his wife!" Chu Feiyang subconsciously glared at Xi Lin, and then said calmly, "Get up!"

"What did you find?" Yun Qianmeng secretly glared at Chu Feiyang, secretly criticizing his chameleon-like facial expression, and then turned her attention to Xi Lin!

"In reply to Madam, I followed the carriage of the Prince's Mansion on your orders. On the way, a group of bandits appeared and alarmed the carriages of the Prince's Mansion and the Wen Mansion. The Second Young Master was injured while trying to save the First Lady of the Wen Mansion, and the Second Lady was stabbed while trying to save the Second Lady of the Wen Mansion. The two young ladies of the Xie family also suffered some scratches while trying to protect the Second Lady of the Wen family! At this moment, the Second Young Master and the Second Lady have been sent back to the Prince's Mansion, and the women of the Wen Mansion are also staying in the Prince's Mansion, waiting for the doctor's diagnosis!" Xi Lin told Yun Qianmeng everything he saw along the way, but he didn't expect that Yun Qianmeng was so predictable and had already guessed that the road to Puguo Temple would not be peaceful!

"How is the Second Madam's injury? Can you see the bandits clearly?
