So, I settled my aunt and the others in the Mu family's West Alley Garden. This is only temporary; I don't know what to do next.
After Yang Hua finished speaking, he looked at the Emperor, intending for the Emperor to take in Bi Yue and Xiu Hua.
However, the Emperor had no such intention. After all, at this moment, his heart belonged only to Hongyu. Biyue and Xiuhua were merely his cousins, and he felt no affection for them whatsoever.
Upon seeing this, Yang Hua took out a handkerchief, covered her mouth, and choked out, "Actually, when my mother passed away, she had already given instructions that she wanted to strengthen ties with my aunt's family so as not to sever relations.
