"Master, the prince and princess are here."
Dongfang Yinzhang quickly got up from the couch, picked up the lotus mask and put it on himself.
She straightened her clothes at the dressing table and went to the main hall.
The couple happened to walk in from outside. "Master, the princess made some pineapple dishes with the pineapples she picked from the orchard. They are delicious. Come and try them."
Su Xingyi placed all the dishes on the table, turned to Bai Yi and said, "Sit down and try some with Master."
"Your Highness, I'm not hungry." Bai Yi didn't dare to sit down and eat without etiquette.
"You'd better sit down and eat. The main kitchen won't be sending dinner over today."
Dongfang Yinzhang said, "Listen to your Majesty and sit down to eat."
Bai Yi had no choice but to sit down.
As soon as Xiao Lingyu came in, he found a soft chair by the window and sat down.
Su Xingyi was serving food to Dongfang Yinzhang.
Dongfang Yinyan was very surprised. Why didn’t his disciple send the princess back to rest first?
Let the princess watch him eat?
Is there something you want to tell him?
Bai Yi understood that the couple wanted to discuss important matters with his master, so he finished his meal as quickly as he could, left the room, and went to guard the gate of the courtyard.
"Master, this is what Xiaoyu cooked herself. How is it? Is it delicious?"
Dongfang Yinzhang looked at Xiao Lingyu with admiration. Not only was he good-looking and well-educated, but he could also cook deliciously!
She is indeed his good disciple-in-law!
"I didn't expect the princess's cooking skills to be so good. It's an honor for me to be able to eat the food she cooks. If Xingyi can marry the princess, he will definitely have a great time in the future!"
Xiao Lingyu said, "As long as Master likes to eat it, I will show you some of my cooking skills when I have time, and I will definitely let you two, Master and Disciple, feast on the food."
"Ha... Your teacher is very pleased. Princess, you are a precious child. You shouldn't overwork yourself. Let Xingyi show off his skills and give you and your children a feast!"
"Master, I would have done this even if you hadn't told me. I wouldn't have let Xiaoyu do the hard work."
"Have you thought it through?"
Su Xingyi nodded slightly: "When Xiaowu is born, I will make delicious food for them in various ways!"
After Xiaowu was born safely, he was determined to take back everything that originally belonged to him and make Xiaoyu the most honorable woman.
At this time, Xiao Lingyu slowly spoke: "Master, you have good intentions for my prince's future."
Dongfang Yinyin frowned slightly, "As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. Parents who love their children plan for them in the long run. Just like you are the mother of these four siblings, you treat them as your own children and think about their safety and future."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "My love for the children is far inferior to Master's love for Xingyi! I'm still far behind."
"How could that be? You're so kind to the children, treating them like your own. Xingyi told me privately that you've taken great pains to prevent the perpetrators of the children from finding them and harming them... Now that the children have been able to find their roots, it's all thanks to you."
Xiao Lingyu: "I acknowledge all of this, but it's just a matter of solving the immediate problem. I haven't done anything long-term about the children's future prospects, how they'll get married, and what kind of families they'll marry into that will help them in the future..."
Dongfang Yinzhang was shocked. Did she know something?
"...Master paved the way for Xingyi a long time ago."
"I didn't do much for Xingyi. I just taught him reading and martial arts over the years. I originally wanted to see him get married and have children, but I was hunted by my enemies back then and couldn't go back to see him. After being away for so many years, his legs are cramped and he can't see. I wasn't by his side during his most difficult time..."
The more Dongfang Yinzhang spoke, the more regretful he felt. "...If I hadn't been hunted down back then and hadn't been away for so many years, Old Man Su wouldn't have left so early, Xingyi wouldn't have taken the children home to raise, and he wouldn't have broken his leg! Fortunately, God had mercy on you and made you Xingyi's wife. If I had returned this year, who knows, my disciple's legs might still be lame, and the children might have been sold or taken away..."
Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but pursed his lips when he saw his acting skills. Dongfang Yinzhang's acting skills were pretty good!
"Xingyi, you told me before that you found Brother Jie and that a strange wind blew when Brother Wen was a child. That's why you took the road that leads to the mass grave?"
"That's right! I didn't want to go that way at all. I thought it was unlucky. But then that evil wind started, and I somehow ended up at a mass grave. There, I found the two brothers one after another. I suspect someone was behind this, pushing me to pick them up and raise them!"
"Oh? Why do you think so?"
"I didn't realize it at the time, but now I think someone must have done it behind the scenes, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to the mass grave that year."
Dongfang Yinzhang listened to the conversation between the two and felt something was wrong!
Is this something you're going to tell him right in front of him?
"Who do you think it is?"
"Don't speculate. Why would someone do such a stupid thing? Where's the demonic wind? The fact that you found them means you two have a strong bond as father and son."
Su Xingyi looked at the Dongfang Yinzhang suspiciously. "I found An Ge'er and Xiao Xi'er on Wufeng Mountain, not far from where you taught me martial arts and literacy. I have every reason to suspect you were the one who did it!"
Dongfang Yinzhang was shocked. "How could that be? Master was fleeing at the time and couldn't spare any time!"
Su Xingyi didn't quite believe it at first, but now he was 100% sure that his master had done it on purpose!
"No one dares to enter Wufeng Mountain or Guihua Village except me, my adoptive father, and my master. My adoptive father passed away when I found An Ge'er, so this person can only be my master!"
"This person is definitely not the master, perhaps another martial arts master!"
Su Xingyi continued, "Master, let me tell you the truth. Xiao Xi'er is the little princess of Nankun. Back then, a mysterious person dug her out of the Nankun Imperial Mausoleum and threw her to Wufeng Mountain."
"I guess that mysterious man is the person behind the scenes you mentioned!" Dongfang Yinzhang said hurriedly.
Xiao Lingyu smiled. "You may have forgotten that you are not Mr. Zhang, but Dongfang Seal! As far as I know, you are famous for your seal style and are highly sought after by the royal families of the four countries. You are also a guest of honor of the royal families of the four countries."
"You are well versed in metaphysics and the art of Qimen Dunjia. Deducing that there is life in the Nankun Imperial Mausoleum shouldn't be a piece of cake. Furthermore, Xingyi is the grandson of the old Emperor Dongjun and the son of the Emperor Beiyi. The fact that you place so much importance on Xingyi must be related to Empress Fu'an..."
"Okay! I admit it!" Dongfang Yinzhang interrupted Xiao Lingyu anxiously.
He really didn't expect Xiao Lingyu to be so smart.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing to let her become Xingyi's wife?
The room fell silent for a moment.
Xiao Lingyu really wanted to know whether he had anything to do with the original owner marrying Su Xingyi?
The words came to my lips but I swallowed them back...
Even if she knew it was his doing, could she bring herself to seek justice for the original owner?
