Huo Chengche ignored the Duke of Zhongwu's question, but instead glanced at the people following behind them and ordered, "Go and deal with the people following us."
Duke Zhongwu stared, mouth agape, at his nephew's confident demeanor as he drove himself there.
He knew exactly who Xuandi was! But his little nephew had this young master completely under his thumb... ugh! He had this young master relentlessly pressured, leaving him no chance to gain the upper hand! That was truly remarkable!
The way Duke Zhongwu looked at Huo Chengche at this moment was as if he were looking at a god, his eyes full of worship.
After Huo Chengche gave his instructions, he received no response for a long time.
He frowned slightly, glancing at Duke Zhongwu with a probing look.
The latter quickly came to his senses.
"Yes, yes! Your humble servant will send someone to handle it right away!" Duke Zhongwu quickly shut his mouth and replied, putting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and gave his subordinate a look.
The servants sent by the eldest princess were no match for the military retainers under the command of Duke Zhongwu, and were quickly captured.
When Huo Chengche and Duke Zhongwu arrived at the city gate, there was still no sign of Xuandi.
Duke Zhongwu looked at the city gate, which was as usual, and a look of "I knew it" flashed in his eyes.
However, considering that his nephew has always been outstanding since childhood, this is probably the first time he has encountered a boy who is about the same age as him but more capable than him, so he must feel bad.
Zhongwu Gong carefully considered his words and whispered in Huo Chengche's ear to comfort him, "Your Highness the Crown Prince may not know much about this Fifth Young Master of Hengchang. This Fifth Young Master is known for his unpredictable behavior. He's probably up to no good somewhere right now. Why don't we go back to the palace first?"
"Heh," Huo Chengche sneered upon hearing this. Thinking of Xuan Di's smug smile, which he thought had gotten rid of him, he narrowed his eyes slightly. "Uncle, please calm down. Although I don't know where he has taken Nian Nian, he will definitely come to this city gate. Let's just wait."
Before Duke Zhongwu could say anything more, he was shocked to see Xuandi actually carrying the little baby and slowly walking over!
So, Xuandi, who was in a great mood just a moment ago, was now holding his little sister who was pouting and unhappy, and seriously making up nonsense to tease his silly little sister.
The next moment, he saw the young man in black at the city gate, dressed in a sharp and imposing outfit, holding the reins, with a half-smile in his eyes, and a lazy, mocking attitude as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.
Xuan Di's smile instantly darkened, a flash of disbelief crossing his icy eyes, and his lips tightened in displeasure—just who is this bastard?!
Huo Chengche looked at Xuan Di's dark face and sneered. However, his lazy expression suddenly darkened when he saw the chubby, unhappy little face of his wife in his arms.
The little baby was still holding onto the milky white tiger toy she wouldn't let go of. Her chubby little face was puffed out, her little mouth was pursed, and she was listening to her brother muttering something in her ear, looking aggrieved and unhappy.
The boy immediately dismounted, took a few steps forward, and looked at the little boy's rough Taoist robes, his deep eyes filled with anger.
"Xuandi! Nian Nian isn't your toy! How can you be such a good older brother?!"
When the little boy saw his older brother, the prince, arrive, he immediately became fierce towards him. His two dark, grape-like eyes darted around, and he mischievously dimpled, then he whined and pounced on him.
With her big brother backing her up, the little dumpling immediately started complaining in her childish voice, pouting her little mouth high and looking extremely aggrieved, "Crown Prince! Fifth Brother is so mean! He made Nian Nian earn her own food money again, and he even threatened that if Nian Nian didn't do any work, he wouldn't let her play with him!"
