Prince Jing's family of four was enjoying a sumptuous dinner at this moment. Yun Yichen and Yun Ruonan lowered their heads to eat, while Prince Jing and his wife chatted while eating.

"What kind of person is Mr. He?" Thinking of what happened today, Yin Qianhua couldn't help but ask.

"Sincere, average ability, smooth, what do you ask him for?"

"No wonder they raised a daughter like that. This Miss He actually had her maid deliberately spill tea on General Xiao's granddaughter, and then she twisted the truth in front of me, intending to falsely accuse Ping An of deliberately making things difficult for them, master and servant."

"What happened next?" General Xiao and Lord He were both people he had his eyes on, and King Jing was extremely unhappy to see the two families clash over their juniors.

Yun Yichen wasn't hungry to begin with, but upon hearing his father and mother's conversation, he stopped eating. For some reason, he really wanted to know the final outcome of this matter.

"Ping'an usually looks smart and clever, but today, in front of so many people, she didn't even explain herself. If my people weren't there, she would have been wrongly accused." Yin Qianhua said angrily.

"Ping An, is that the pretty girl?"

"Yes! I have good taste, right? I liked her very much when I saw her for the first time." Yin Qianhua said proudly.

"Bad guy." Yun Ruonan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly uttered two words.

As expected, a younger sister is always better. She had the same vision as me, and could tell at a glance that the little girl was only sweet on the outside, but actually quite cunning. My mother, as an adult, was misjudged and deceived, treating this cunning and calculating little girl like a treasure. Yun Yifan finally felt a little comforted. He felt that finding a supporter was truly difficult!

"Ruonan, are you saying that Ping'an is bad, or that Miss He is bad?" Yin Qianhua firmly believed that her daughter was definitely not talking about Ping'an.

"Miss He." Yun Ruonan looked up at her mother and answered with some dissatisfaction, as if to say, you clearly know that I am not talking about the one from the Xiao family, yet you still ask this.

It's over, it's over. His whole family has been poisoned by that little girl. Even his sister, who never meddles in other people's affairs, has started to speak for her. Yun Yichen's mood at this moment is as bad as it can be.

"She wore your new brocade skirt today." Yun Yichen complained to Xiao Yao in a childish way.

"She looks good in it." Yun Ruonan hid behind the window and secretly saw that the little girl named Ping'an looked really good in that skirt. Besides, if she wanted a new skirt, her mother would definitely make one for her.

"Father, Mother, I remembered that I have something very important to do, so I will take my leave now." I can't stay here any longer, otherwise I will suffocate to death.

Yun Yichen's departure did not affect the enthusiasm of Prince Jing and his wife in discussing what happened in the villa today. Not only the two of them, but even Yun Ruonan was a rare loyal audience and listened from beginning to end.

After dinner, King Jing called his son to the secret room in his study for a long talk. Before leaving, he still had many things to explain to his son.

"Father has almost dealt with the outside affairs. Father will secretly leave a group of people for you in the palace. If there is any emergency, you can ask them to go out and deal with it. As for the Dragon Guards and the Dark Guards, some will also be left for you."

"Father, you need them more when you are out there doing things. I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I will definitely protect my mother and sister."

"Achen has really grown up. You have more to protect than just your mother and sister."

Yun Yichen was slightly stunned when he heard this. Could it be that his father still wanted him to protect Concubine Han and her daughter?

"And then there's you, silly son. You're the prince of a royal palace, and you don't know how many eyes are watching you! So you have to protect yourself first, so that father and mother can rest assured, understand?"

"I understand, son." I actually misunderstood my father. This is really wrong, Yun Yichen thought in annoyance.

"The new masters that your father invited have arrived. There are two of them. They will serve as your guards while your father is away. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year, they will be your masters."

Counting the days, he knew he had less than a year left to escape Old Man Xiao's torture, but why did he feel so blocked and depressed? It felt like sadness, irritability, and a faint sense of reluctance. Yun Yichen couldn't tell which emotion was taking over.

"You should visit the palace often and pay your respects to your royal grandmother and your royal uncle. If you meet irrelevant people, just ignore them."

"Father, are you referring to the granddaughters of the Han family? I avoid them as much as possible and will not have any contact with them."

Looking at his son who was still ignorant about love, King Jing did not intend to explain too thoroughly. He believed that even for his wife, Achen would not accept a girl from the Han family.

An hour later, the father and son left the study. Prince Jing, who had just walked out of the study, was stopped by a maid from Jinxiu Garden.

"Your Majesty, the concubine and the two county ladies would like to invite you to Jinxiu Garden for a visit."

How long had it been since the prince paid any attention to the three women in Jinxiu Garden? Was it half a year, a year, or even longer? No one could remember. Although Concubine Han and Jinxiu Garden looked the same on the outside, only they knew how hard it was. From masters to servants, none of them had the glory they once had.

If Prince Jing could have gone to Jinxiu Garden for a while before his departure, or even spent a night there, their lives would have been much easier in the coming months. Otherwise, Concubine Han and her daughter would probably never have a chance to rise in this palace.

"Go back and tell Concubine Han that I will visit them if I have time. Tell your master to pack up. Tomorrow someone from the Han family will come to take them back to stay for a while. When I return, I will send someone to bring them back."

The old woman from Jinxiuyuan thought she had misheard and was stunned, not realizing what was happening.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you go down and tell your master the good news."

This is not good news at all, it's more like bad news. How can a married woman return to her parents' home to live permanently? Unless... the master has been divorced! Thinking of this possibility, the old woman felt cold sweat all over her body.

Seeing the old woman running towards Jinxiu Garden in panic, King Jing sighed and said to his son, "I hope you will be happier than your father in the future. In order to make this wish come true, no more members of the Han family can enter the palace. Do you understand?"

"My son understands, and I will never let my father down." Yun Yichen vowed.

Looking at his son who has grown into a young man, King Jing sincerely hopes that his future will not be like his own, where he is manipulated by others and lives a mess.

Three days passed in a flash. On February 26, King Jing bid farewell to his wife and daughter, and accompanied by his son, he left the city to meet the accompanying officials who were waiting there.

Concubine Han was sent back to the Duke of Qing's mansion by Prince Jing, half by order and half by force. Queen Mother Han was of course extremely dissatisfied with this matter, but first there was the Emperor's order to the Duke of Qing, and then Prince Jing produced evidence of the Han family's crimes of bullying men and women in Kyoto and presented it to the Queen Mother. Under the double pressure, the aunt and niece had to submit.

If it was ten years ago, or even five years ago, Queen Mother Han would not care about the crime of bullying men and women. But things are different now. Her two sons have grown stronger and no longer rely on her or obey her in everything.

And as she grew older, she had more and more things to think about and worry about, and she even had to consider her affairs after her death. If she allowed the younger generation of the Han family to continue to make trouble, there was no guarantee that the emperor would not settle accounts with the Han family after she was really gone one day, because she could see that the emperor had more and more opinions about the Han family.

As for my nieces and granddaughters, if Achen takes charge of the palace in the future, who can guarantee that they will not be held accountable? Based on what she has done, eight or ten deaths would be enough.

So after much consideration, Queen Mother Han agreed with her two sons' decision and asked the Duke of Qing to take her niece back home.

Xiao Jingyan had arrived at the Shili Changting outside the city before King Jing.

Those who came to see him off today were Xiao Jingtai, Xiao Yi and Xiao Rui.

"Uncle, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but it's normal for Jun and Ping'an to eat longevity noodles on their birthdays. It's a bit abnormal that you eat more than them." Xiao Rui felt that his uncle was more like a child than his younger brothers and sisters.

"What do you know." Xiao Jingyan despised his nephew's IQ. If he hadn't been joking and laughing with his nephew and niece, I'm afraid I would have burst into tears and might even insist on sending me out of the city!

I have to admit that Ping'an, my little niece, is smart and cooperates well with me. With her help, not only did I not cry, I also readily agreed not to leave the city to see her off. But this abominable little thing actually took the opportunity to ask for a lot of gifts. Humph, he really thinks his uncle is just an errand boy.

"Prince Jing is here, the Crown Prince is here," someone shouted loudly.

Everyone came over to greet the two people, then counted the number of people and prepared to set off.

"Achen, my father has already said what needs to be said yesterday. You just need to remember to protect yourself and take good care of your mother and sister, okay?"

"Son, I understand." Yun Yichen, having been separated from his father for an extended period for the first time in his life, felt heavy-hearted, overwhelmed by a complex mix of emotions, including reluctance and sadness. He wasn't one to express himself well, so the parting scene, which should have been heartwarming and heartwarming, was reduced to a moment of relative silence.

King Jing knew his son too well and did not dare to expect him to say a heartfelt farewell. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he felt sympathy for his future daughter-in-law. Wouldn't her life be boring if she met such an unromantic husband?

"Fourth uncle, as we are about to leave, your nephew would like to kindly remind you not to forget the agreement you made with Ping An. You are the elder, so don't lose. That would be too embarrassing." Xiao Rui did not forget to remind him at the end.

"Did Ping An ask you to remind me?" Instead of wishing him a safe journey, he was actually obsessed with the gift. What a heartless little thing, Xiao Jingyan muttered to himself.
