Chapter 161 I don’t care about your Xiao family!
After Ji Ming left, the hall suddenly became very quiet.
He Yanchen was obviously in a good mood. He walked to the window and teased the little parrot in the cage. The little parrot was full and jumped around in his cage, trying to peck his fingers.
The man's lips curled up, imagining Yueli's expression when she knew the news.
It should be disappointment, fear and anger.
She is so beautiful, why did she find a spineless person like Xiao Mingcheng as her backer?
The family of Shou'an Hou is not easy to get along with, especially Xiao Mingyue, who relies on his status to act recklessly and covets him.
He Yanchen's hand that was teasing the little parrot suddenly paused.
How could he forget Xiao Mingyue.
She should be allowed to add fuel to the fire.
When Xiao Yueli is at her wit's end, she realizes how important it is to choose a reliable backer.
The man threw away the feeding spoon, narrowed his eyes slightly, and called Chu Yi.
"Xiao Mingcheng has been at the Military Affairs Department recently?"
Chu Yi replied, "Yes, His Majesty previously instructed that he be given more tasks to do, and I have already informed the military officials."
"Drag him, don't let him leave the capital for the next two days."
Chu Yi didn't understand why, but he obeyed He Yanchen's words and immediately said, "Yes, I will go right away."
"Madam Shou'an hasn't left yet?"
"Not yet. I heard that you will stay in Yeonbok Palace to have lunch with the Queen Mother."
He Yanchen played with the new jade pendant hanging on his waist, and the corners of his lips curved slightly: "I will go to Jingyun Mountain later. Remember to tell Shou'an Hou's daughter."
Chu Yi was stunned. Everyone knew that Xiao Mingyue from the Shou'an Marquis Mansion was in love with His Majesty. If she knew His Majesty's whereabouts, wouldn't she follow him like a dog-skin plaster?
Your Majesty, aren't you asking for trouble?
Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, He Yanchen glanced at him indifferently.
Chu Yi stood up straight immediately: "Yes, I will do it right away."

Villa.
Feilan was tidying up the house when she heard a loud bang on the door, which scared her so much that the handkerchief in her hand almost fell to the ground.
Feilan turned around and saw Yueli walking in with a cold face.
"Why are you back, young lady?" Fei Lan walked towards her. "Didn't you say you wanted to go for a walk outside after your nap and didn't want me to follow you?"
She had only been out for a quarter of an hour and she came back so angry. Could it be that someone bullied her again?
Feilan was about to ask when she saw Yueli lying in front of the dressing table and crying.
This frightened Fei Lan, and she quickly asked, "What happened to you, young lady? Who was so blind as to bump into you?"
Yueli buried her face in her arms and sobbed, her thin shoulders trembling, looking extremely pitiful.
Seeing that she was just crying and not saying anything, Fei Lan was extremely worried and quickly found a servant to go to the capital to pass on the message to Xiao Mingcheng.
Yueli cried for an unknown amount of time until her eyes became swollen, and then her crying gradually subsided.
She had just gone out for a walk alone, but heard people talking about Xiao Mingcheng getting married on the other side of the rockery.
Although she had known for a long time that the Marquis's wife was choosing a wife for Xiao Mingcheng, Yue Li felt uncomfortable when she heard them talking about her and how they would deal with her after the wife came into the family.
It's the feeling of having a bleak future.
Xiao Mingcheng is not often at home, so she would definitely be bullied to death by them if she were alone.
At this time, she really wanted Xiao Mingcheng to be by her side, even if it was just to say some comforting promises, even if they were false, it didn't matter.
Yueli hates the feeling of being isolated and abandoned by others.
So when Feilan went out to find someone to report the news to the capital, she did not stop him.
But from the afternoon until evening, when it gradually darkened, no one came to the courtyard.
It only takes one hour to ride from the capital to the foot of Jingyun Mountain.
There was no snow today, so the road was easy to walk on.
Yueli sat by the window, watching the sunset and the bright moon rise into the sky. The hope in her eyes gradually turned into loneliness and bitterness.
She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her cheeks.
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and Yueli quickly stood up.
The one who came in was Feilan.
Fei Lan looked a little anxious: "Miss, Miss Xiao is here."
"Miss Xiao?" Yue Li was stunned for a moment before she remembered that Xiao Mingcheng had a younger sister, but they had only met once, so she had no impression of him.
"What is she doing here?"
Fei Lan shook her head: "I don't know either. She has already arrived in the hall and told the young lady to go see her."
"I see she has a suspicious look on her face. It seems she has bad intentions."
Yue Li was already upset because Xiao Mingcheng hadn't arrived yet, and now Xiao Mingyue, who had bad intentions, came. Yue Li felt like her head was about to explode.
The Xiao family really annoyed her.
"No, send her away."
Before he finished speaking, a coquettish voice rang out from outside the door: "This is our Xiao family's house, who are you trying to drive away?"
Xiao Mingyue, dressed in red, rushed in aggressively.
She heard today that He Yanchen was coming to Jingyun Mountain, so she followed him all the way here, but when she got to this area, she couldn't find him.
Xiao Mingyue was disappointed and angry. It was getting dark, but it was a pity that she had not been able to talk to He Yanchen on this trip.
She was full of grievances and wanted to go back, but the maid reminded her that this was the Xiao family's house and Yueli was living there now.
Xiao Mingyue was so angry that she had no place to vent. When she heard the name, she remembered that this person had made her mother so angry that she became sick, and had also caused a quarrel between her eldest brother and mother. She immediately rushed in to see her.
Yueli glanced at her sideways, not wanting to pay any attention to her.
Xiao Mingyue pushed Feilan aside and walked over to Yueli, looking her down at her with a tone full of sarcasm: "You're really amazing! You've messed up the house and made my mother sick, yet you've come here to find some peace and quiet."
The last time the eldest brother went back, he had a quarrel with his mother. Xiao Mingyue overheard that it was related to Yue Li. After that, the eldest brother went out. His mother was so angry that she had a headache and had been staying in bed for the past few days.
When Yueli heard this, she was shocked and asked, "The Marquis's wife is sick?"
Serves you right!
She stood up and faced Xiao Mingyue without fear: "I'm staying here peacefully. What does the chaos in your house have to do with me?"
Xiao Mingyue said arrogantly, "You still say it has nothing to do with you? My eldest brother had a quarrel with my mother because of you."
"You vixen, when Sister Liu and my eldest brother get married, I'll sell you out sooner or later. Go back to your brothel!"
Xiao Mingyue had been spoiled since childhood, and the way he spoke bad words made Yue Li feel disgusted.
Xiao Mingyue, however, still didn't know how to restrain herself. She slowly approached Yue Li and looked at her with contempt: "My eldest brother is getting married soon. You don't think he will help you, do you? This house is mine. Even if I tell you to get out now, you have to obey me."
Yueli's lips were tight and her cheeks were flushed with anger.
Xiao Mingyue snorted coldly: "You still dare to glare at me?"
"Someone, get her out of here!"
The servants that Xiao Mingyue brought naturally obeyed her orders. The people in the manor didn't know who to help for a while. One was the daughter of Shou'an Marquis's Mansion, and the other was the woman raised here by General Xiao. It seemed easy to decide which one was more important.
So they all pretended to be dead.
Yueli was pushed by several servants and almost fell to the ground.
Her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Get lost!" She pushed Xiao Mingyue hard, "Just leave, I don't care about your Xiao family!"
