Hearing that all those damned people were dead, Su Renzhong's killing intent subsided somewhat, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise, saying, "Prince Yong'an? Was he granted this title by the Emperor?"
The Emperor has always been very wary of him; would he really be willing to grant him the title of King? It's impossible for him to grant the title of King to his son either!
Duanmu Junyu laughed and said, "It was your son-in-law who bestowed the title. Your son-in-law is now the emperor of Eastern Chu, and your son is his brother-in-law. It's no big deal for him to bestow a title of king upon his brother-in-law!"
Su Renzhong was shocked again, his face full of surprise that Xuan Yuanzhan had become the emperor of Eastern Chu.
He had lost his memory before and didn't remember Xuan Yuanzhan, but now that he has regained his memory, he naturally knows Xuan Yuanzhan.
That kid went to his fiefdom in Xiangnan when he was young, and I heard he governed Xiangnan very well.
Although the emperor always doted on him, his status was still somewhat inferior. He was the emperor's illegitimate son, and in principle, he should never have been able to sit on the throne of Eastern Chu! But unexpectedly, in the end, this kid really did take the throne of Eastern Chu!
Even though he didn't know the whole story, he could guess the hardships involved.
What he never expected was that he and this guy had never crossed paths before, not even the slightest connection. Yet, this guy ended up becoming his son-in-law, marrying his precious daughter without his knowledge, and supposedly even as a way to bring good luck in marriage!
His precious daughter must have suffered so much injustice!
Su Renzhong grew angrier the more he thought about it, and said dejectedly, "How come I remember that kid being much older than our Ning'er?"
...Seeing him start acting unreasonably again, Duanmu Junyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "There aren't many, it's only a three or four year difference, it seems!"
They're only three or four years apart, how can there be so much difference?
Su Renzhong immediately glared: "Isn't three or four years old enough? He's so much older than our Ning'er, he's not a good match for our Ning'er at all!"
Duanmu Junyu was truly defeated by him, and pinched his waist again in anger: "Even if we are not a good match, we are clearly a good match! Xuanyuan Zhan is such a good boy. He is handsome, skilled in martial arts, and tall. He is so good to our Ning'er. He is devoted to Ning'er and only has Ning'er. What a good boy he is. You are the only one who finds fault with everything."
Su Renzhong, unconvinced, grabbed Duanmu Junyu's small hand: "What's so great about being handsome? Isn't our Ning'er good-looking? What's the use of being tall? Is he as tall as me? Isn't it only right to be good to Ning'er? Being devoted to her is a quality he must have!"
Is that all she deserves for Ning'er? Isn't her standard a bit too low?
Duanmu Junyu was amused by his words: "So what? Why don't we make them divorce, so our grandson will have no father or mother?"
...This put Su Renzhong in a difficult position, leaving him completely speechless: "I didn't say they should get a divorce!"
Duanmu Junyu rolled her eyes at him: "Don't even mention that Xuanyuan Zhan's character is pretty good, almost perfect. Even if Xuanyuan Zhan really has some flaws, as long as my daughter likes him, I'll agree to them being together. My daughter has suffered so much, and finally found someone she loves. If you dare to break her up and ruin her happiness, I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing Duanmu Junyu's outburst, Su Renzhong immediately backed down: "I never said I was going to settle scores with them!"
Duanmu Junyu narrowed her eyes: "So, what exactly do you want?"
Su Renzhong curled his lip: "As his father-in-law, it's only right that I test him a bit!"
Duanmu Junyu really couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. They've already had a child and been married for almost two years. What's the point of testing him now?
However, considering that their family had just been reunited, and that he, as a father, had just learned that his daughter had gotten married and had a child, might find it difficult to accept, Duanmu Junyu didn't bother to discourage him.
Let him test me if he wants; I'm sure Xuanyuan Zhan will pass his test.
Just as the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Mother, is Father awake?"
Su Yun'an's voice startled Duanmu Junyu so much that she almost jumped up.
The worst part is that she and Su Renzhong are currently naked and embracing each other. If the two children see them, will they ever be able to face anyone again?
Duanmu Junyu was so frightened that she tried to climb off Su Renzhong, but Su Renzhong held her tightly.
Su Renzhong held her in his arms and said to Su Yun'an outside, "I'm awake. Wait outside for a while and don't come in."
Su Yun'an was excited to rush into the room when he heard that Su Renzhong had woken up, but he stopped himself when he heard the second half of Su Renzhong's sentence.
"Oh." Su Yun'an replied obediently, but he was really curious about what his father and mother were doing in the room and why he wasn't allowed to go in.
Seeing Su Renzhong talking nonsense, Duanmu Junyu was so angry that she reached out and pinched his waist again: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She said such things in front of the child; how will she ever be able to face anyone again?
"Hmm~" Su Renzhong groaned, his lips close to her earlobe as he teased, "What did I say wrong? Should we let him in?"
Duanmu Junyu's pretty face immediately turned bright red, and she angrily punched him in the chest again.
The child is still outside! That damn guy, he's getting more and more shameless!
Duanmu Junyu wanted to get down, but Su Renzhong held her tightly and refused to let go.
Duanmu Junyu was so angry that she wanted to pinch him again, but thinking of his shameless appearance, she could only give up and said in a low voice, "Stop fooling around, the children are outside! Hurry up and get dressed and go out!"
If the child is kept waiting too long, who knows what kind of wild thoughts the people in the palace will have.
"I'll help you put it on."
Su Renzhong, with his long arms and legs, carried her off the bed, grabbed her clothes, and considerately helped her get dressed.
Duanmu Junyu was truly defeated by him.
Today is the 80th birthday of the Northern Wei emperor, so she will definitely need to change her clothes. However, since he is so considerate in helping her change, she is happy to accept the offer.
She could just change it again after he left.
The two lingered inside for a long time before finally opening the door and coming out.
When Duanmu Junyu went out, she saw that Xuan Yuanzhan, Su Xuening, Su Yun'an, Lan Jingxiao, Shao Yichen, Wu Liping and the others were all in the courtyard. Even the palace servants of the East Palace were in the courtyard at this moment. Her face immediately burned again.
Duanmu Junyu glared at Su Renzhong reproachfully.
It's all his fault. Now look what these people will think of them.
Su Renzhong, however, felt no guilt whatsoever. He simply looked at Su Xuening and Su Yun'an and reached out his hands, saying, "Ning'er, An'er, Father is back. Let Father give you a hug!"
Su Xuening and Su Yun'an exchanged a glance and excitedly ran towards Su Renzhong.
Su Renzhong picked them up and carried them both into his arms.
Compared to his stiffness the first time, Su Renzhong now held his two children with a contented look, as if he were holding the whole world.
Of course, his whole world also includes Ayu!
