Luo Zhiwan was completely enraged by the two sisters. She couldn't understand where their hostility towards her came from.
Seeing that she was getting anxious, Yue Xiaoyue immediately pouted and continued to mock her.
"Oh, you're getting impatient? I already told you, this is our home. You're trying to kick us out? You think too highly of yourself. Even if you cling to Brother Chen, he'll only ever let you be his bed warmer. And you're still bossing us around like this. You're shameless."
"Smack!"
She suddenly picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it forcefully in front of Yue Xiaoyue's feet. As the sound of shards breaking rang out, Yue Xiaoyue cried out "Ah!" and took several steps back.
Yue Xiaomin watched this scene coldly, frowned, and spoke.
"Miss Luo, what are you doing? Things in the Crown Prince's residence are very precious. This teacup you broke is worth a fortune. How can you afford to pay for it?"
Luo Zhiwan jumped up from her chair, coldly staring at Yue Xiaomin and Yue Xiaoyue.
"I'm telling you this one last time: I'm here to find Leng Chuchen. Once I've taken care of my business, I'll leave. Don't force me."
"We forced you? It was clearly you who forced us! Why didn't you stay in your Yong'an City? What are you doing at the Crown Prince's residence? You just wanted to seduce Brother Chen. You shameless woman..."
"Shut up!"
Her words were overheard by Leng Chuchen, who was carrying Yiming as he strode in. He continued walking inside, cursing angrily.
"Get out."
Yue Xiaoyue stomped her feet in frustration, wanting to go up to him and act coquettishly, when she saw Luo Zhiwan quickly rush over, snatch Yiming from his arms, hug him, and ask while shedding tears:
"Yiming, where did you run off to? You scared your mother to death, you know that?"
"Mother, I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Silly child, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Don't run around anymore, okay?"
"I understand. From now on, Yiming will never be separated from his mother again."
As he said this, he reached out his chubby little hands, wrapped them around her neck, and affectionately teased her.
Seeing this, Yue Xiaomin curiously took two steps forward.
"Brother Chen, we have guests at home. Why didn't you tell me sooner? Are Miss Luo and this child going to have dinner at home? I'll go prepare."
Leng Chuchen looked up at her and replied coldly.
"This is not your place to make the decisions in this house. Get out."
"Brother Chen..."
Xiaomin stubbornly twisted the handkerchief in her hand.
“Your aunt asked us to take care of you and, incidentally, the Crown Prince’s residence. Is there anything wrong with what we did that made you so angry?”
Leng Chuchen's expression remained grim. Seeing this, Luo Zhiwan spoke directly:
"Now that Yiming is back, we won't bother you any longer."
"You can't leave."
He changed his aloof attitude towards his in-laws, and instead gently tried to persuade them to stay.
"Zhiwan, Yiming was just frightened and is very weak. Let him stay!"
Just as Luo Zhiwan was about to speak, Yue Xiaomin chimed in:
"That's right, guests are guests, how can we leave without having a meal? I'm doing this now..."
"They are not guests..."
Leng Chuchen's eyes remained gloomy. "Yiming is my child, and Zhiwan is my woman."
He revealed their relationship in public, which surprised Luo Zhiwan and left the Yue sisters completely bewildered.
Yue Xiaoyue stepped forward and questioned her relentlessly.
"Brother Chen, what are you saying? How did he become your child?"
Anyway, the Empress and the Empress Dowager already know about this, and it will spread sooner or later, so he's not afraid to tell them sooner.
"Yiming is my child. As for Zhiwan, I will marry her sooner or later. This Crown Prince's residence will only have her as its mistress. You may do as you please!"
The words that came out of Leng Chuchen's mouth left Yue Xiaomin and Yue Xiaoyue stunned.
How did Luo Zhiwan's child become Leng Chuchen's?
While the two sisters were confused, Leng Chuchen gently said to Zhiwan:
"Take Yiming inside to rest for a while. You and Yiming will stay in the main courtyard tonight, and I will stay in the side hall."
this……
He actually let this woman live in the main courtyard. You should know that only the future crown princess has the right to live in the main courtyard.
Yue Xiaomin and Yue Xiaoyue were immediately furious, but seeing that the three of them had already walked hand in hand towards the backyard, the two sisters could only stand there and be angry.
After Leng Chuchen led them to the main courtyard's sleeping quarters, Yiming was already asleep.
Zhiwan placed Yiming on the bed, gesturing for him to go outside to talk.
Leng Chuchen and she arrived at the front hall one after the other. Zhiwan looked at him with a serious expression.
"We'll head back to Yong'an City first thing tomorrow morning. After what happened, I hope we'll never see each other again."
"It's too late."
He looked at her with a resentful expression.
"Now that the Empress Dowager knows about Yiming's background, and the Empress Dowager knows as well, I believe the Emperor will find out soon. It's no longer possible for you to take Yiming away."
Upon hearing this, her face turned deathly pale. She took two steps forward, grabbed his collar, and angrily questioned him.
"Leng Chuchen, what exactly do you want to do? What do you want?"
“Zhiwan…”
He placed his hands on her shoulders, and when their eyes met, he solemnly said:
"The safest place for you and Yiming is the Crown Prince's residence. Listen to me, don't rush to leave. I'll go back and ask my father, the Emperor, to allow me to marry you and bring you to his residence."
Speaking of this, she suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.
"I heard that the Emperor has already issued an imperial decree to bestow the marriage, and the Yue sisters have already moved into the Crown Prince's residence..."
"That's just their wishful thinking, it has nothing to do with me. You have to believe me, I only want to marry you."
His sweet words made her fall into deep thought.
After this incident, she suddenly realized that trying to escape was not the best solution. Moreover, as Leng Chuchen said, Yiming's identity had been made public, so how easy would it be for her to escape?
That night, lying in bed, she pondered for a long time.
She re-examined what she had done over the past few years, as well as her relationship with Leng Chuchen.
Listening to Yiming's snoring as he slept soundly, she felt a mix of emotions.
She wanted to protect Yiming, even risk her life for him, but due to carelessness, she lost him.
Although Leng Chuchen didn't go into details about how he rescued Yiming, she could guess that Yiming had indeed been taken away by the Empress; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to bring him back in such a short time.
If Leng Chuchen hadn't revealed his identity, Yiming would likely have lost his life.
Upon closer examination, she suddenly felt a sense of dread.
But she didn't know what to do now, whether to leave or stay.
Where can she go? Yiming's true identity has already been exposed. Even if she leaves, she probably can't take Yiming with her.
If we want to keep them, how should we do it?
Given her status, if she stayed in the Crown Prince's residence, she would at most be a concubine who would accompany him in bed. Asking her to be his concubine? That was simply impossible.
She fell asleep while still conflicted.
The next day, before dawn, she got up and softly called out to Yiming.
"Yiming, wake up."
