"Your Highness, I have told you before, it is inappropriate for you to address me that way!"
“When you were engaged to my Zhen’er, I could barely accept you calling me ‘Grandma.’ But now that you are the Crown Princess, it’s no longer appropriate to call me that.”
"Madam..." Mengyao's eyes reddened with grievance. Seeing her pitiful appearance, Zhou Jie curled her lip in disdain:
"Your Highness, who are you trying to impress with this act? My cousin has nothing to do with you anymore. If you don't have something to say, don't come here and put on this show. It's disgusting to watch."
Zhou Jie never hid her dislike for Meng Yao.
"Madam, may I speak with you privately for a few moments?"
"It's very important, it's about him!"
Mengyao's words startled everyone in the room.
About him? Han Yuchen? Could it be that the Crown Prince really received some news?
The old lady glanced at Zhou Yuan and Zhou Jie, and said coldly, "You two go out first."
"grandmother……"
Zhou Jie was still not entirely at ease with Meng Yao.
"Go out first and close the door."
The old lady's face was serious, and her tone was firm and unwavering.
Seeing the two reluctantly leave, taking several maids with them, the old lady turned to Mengyao and said, "Alright, Your Highness, please speak your mind."
"Grandma, you should know how I feel about Zhen-ge, I..."
Mengyao opened her mouth with difficulty; if possible, she would not want to marry the Crown Prince.
Especially knowing that the Crown Prince married her only because she was previously the fiancée of Prince Zhen.
"Your Highness, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood by saying such things? Just say what you want to say. There's no one else in this room, so you should feel at ease, right?"
As far as she knew, the Crown Prince was not someone to be trifled with.
Even if you gave Mengyao ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare say that to the Crown Prince.
"I, the old lady, only learned by chance that Prince Zhen is still alive."
"What did you say?"
The old lady jumped to her feet. All these years, Ouyang Zhen had been living in anonymity, publicly claiming he was dead.
The Crown Prince simply hadn't dared to believe it. Now, suddenly, there's confirmed news... Could it be...?
The old lady's expression changed drastically at the thought of that possibility.
Han Yuchen has not fully recovered yet, and Han Luoxue is pregnant, so she cannot withstand any more stress.
Thinking back to the Crown Prince's ruthless pursuit in the past, how could the old lady sit still?
However, Mengyao thought that her strong reaction meant that the old lady hadn't expected Ouyang Zhen to still be alive.
That's true. The Crown Prince obtained this information with great difficulty, so it's understandable that the General's Mansion doesn't know about it.
"The message came from the Crown Prince's spy. I don't know the specifics, but the Crown Prince has already sent people out. I came here today to tell you to find Prince Zhen as soon as possible, or send more people to protect her."
Mengyao frowned, and her voice carried a hint of sarcasm.
"Is your information reliable? Do you know where the Crown Prince found the Zhen Prince?"
"I don't know the exact location, but I heard from the Crown Prince that he has already sent people there."
Mengyao frowned; the Crown Prince was also quite wary of her.
"Thank you very much then."
The old lady was extremely anxious; she felt that the Crown Prince's information must be wrong. If he really knew that Han Yuchen was the Prince Zhen, he probably would have already sent people to attack their door.
"Madam, my feelings for Prince Zhen have never changed, but sometimes, I am helpless."
Seeing Mengyao's slightly bitter expression, the old lady sighed, "The two of you are still not destined to be together."
Was it just bad luck? Mengyao lowered her head, her expression one of utter desolation.
“I’ve known since I was very young that she was my fiancé. I never thought I would marry someone else one day.”
"The reason I agreed to the marriage with the Crown Prince was actually because..."
Mengyao's voice stopped abruptly, and she smiled bitterly: "Forget it, there's no use saying anything now. No matter who I marry, I just don't want anything to happen to him."
After saying this, she curtsied to the old lady, turned and left.
The door creaked open, and Mengyao saw the two siblings in the courtyard. Without saying a word, she led her maid away.
Watching Mengyao leave in a hurry, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Jie returned to their room.
"Grandma, what did she just say?"
"She said the Crown Prince had discovered the news about Prince Zhen."
"Oh no, really?"
Zhou Yuan thought about Zhen Wang's current appearance; even his own father might not recognize him. How did the people who captured the Crown Prince discover this?
"It's probably a misunderstanding, but we should still have our people keep an eye on it."
Zhou Yuan nodded, but Zhou Jie was completely puzzled: "This Mengyao is a bit strange. She's remarried, so why is she still so hung up on other men?"
"You should stop worrying about this!" The old lady rolled her eyes at Zhou Jie. She wasn't very bright to begin with, and she was always so worrisome. She wondered which family would take in this little girl in the future.
However, she still had Zhou Yuan and the old general tell the news Mengyao brought, because there are some things that need to be guarded against once you know them.
Han Luoxue slept until noon the next day. If her stomach hadn't been growling with hunger, she could have continued sleeping.
She stretched contentedly, realizing that after such a long and bumpy journey, sleeping in bed was still the most comfortable thing to do.
"Snow Girl, you're finally awake."
Han Luoxue hadn't expected the old lady to arrive so soon after she woke up. She'd probably been keeping an eye on things happening around her.
"grandmother!"
"Hurry up and wash up, then eat something first, don't go hungry."
Looking at the kind old lady, Han Luoxue felt a warmth in her heart. During the meal, Han Yuchen and the old general also arrived.
There were two middle-aged couples at the table. The old lady introduced them as Han Yuchen's eldest and second uncles. Both were in their forties or fifties and were very kind.
Zhou Yuan and Zhou Jie also came over for a meal. Zhou Jie kept whispering in her ear, "Xue'er, is your little tiger still there? I miss him so much."
This guy is still thinking about the little tiger.
Han Luoxue glanced at the four little ones in the space.
Half a year has passed, and they have grown up considerably. Time inside the space is not the same as outside, and the little ones grow up especially fast.
If such a large tiger were released, it would probably really give people a fright.
Seeing the four majestic tigers, Han Luoxue suddenly thought of a question.
Time moves quickly in this space, so what about the tiger's lifespan? She really likes these four little ones and doesn't want them to die so soon.
I'll have to talk to the space manager properly when I have time. Or maybe I should put them back in the mountains sooner rather than later.
After spending so much time together, Han Luoxue started to feel a little reluctant to part ways.
"Let's wait a bit, they've all grown up."
"Ah..." Zhou Jie almost cried out. Did this little tiger grow up that fast?
"Eat quickly!"
Seeing that Zhou Jie was talking to Han Luoxue, the old lady tapped the table in displeasure.
