It's just a pity for the child. He and Xue'er's Li Zhen should have grown up bathed in the love of their parents and been friendly and respectful to Li Ge, but he was forced to become a monk from birth.

"That bitch Shangguan Yuechan! I've always considered her a sister and have a deep bond with her. She even witnessed my acquaintance, friendship, and love with Brother Sheng. I never imagined she would treat me like this!"

"Mother, it's easy to paint the skin of a tiger, but difficult to depict its bones. You can only know a person's face, not their heart. A little woman can be terrifying in her own way. Perhaps... she witnessed the deep affection between my father and mother firsthand, and she's become jealous. Or perhaps..."

Hua Qingcheng glanced at the handsome Su Mutiansheng. When the two of them saw such a handsome man, Gongsun Muxue would be moved. Wouldn't Shangguan Yuechan, who was with Gongsun Muxue, be moved too?

"Or maybe Shangguan Yuechan also covets Father and can't bear to see you guys doing well!"

Hua Qingcheng analyzed the speculations in her mind one by one.

"Xue'er, there's something I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd overthink things. I met you on the snowy mountains outside the city and fell in love with you at first sight. But... but the next day, when I left the palace incognito, I ran into Shangguan Yuechan. She... she insisted on giving me a hand-embroidered purse, but don't worry, I... I didn't want it..."

"So, Shangguan Yuechan...she really is coveting you, just as my daughter-in-law said..."

Gongsun Muxue couldn't help but fly into a rage upon hearing this: "You're such a good fellow, Su Mutiansheng! It turns out you're the one who brought this bad love affair upon Li Zhen, causing him..."

"Xue'er, listen to me. You are the only one in my heart from the beginning to the end! I have never touched any of the women that my father forced into the Eastern Palace, right?"

Seeing that things were developing in a strange direction, Hua Qingcheng hurriedly stopped the two people, no, the two souls.

"Father, Mother, what I just said was merely Qingcheng's speculation. Whether it's true or not remains to be verified. The only person who can solve this mystery is currently at the inn in the city..."

"Father, Mother, Qingcheng has a plan in mind. Would you be willing to cooperate?"
