Nangong Hanmo was initially delighted, then gave a bitter smile, his melancholy eyes filled with tears.
"Chang Le, as you wish! Your father is very happy that you can forgive me. It doesn't matter if you don't want to call me father. As long as you still acknowledge me as your father, I am already very satisfied."
In the end, it's all his fault!
Sheng Lingwei lowered her eyes, her tone indifferent.
"I, Sheng Lingwei, have never been controlled by anyone, and I hate it when others point fingers at me. Therefore, I urge the Southern Di Emperor to recognize his own limitations and refrain from doing anything that would be distasteful."
Some things should be made clear in advance to avoid a messy situation later on.
Her father, to put it nicely, was deeply devoted to his wife; to put it bluntly, he was selfish and self-serving.
In his heart, his wife was a treasure, while his children were just weeds.
In short, although he admits his mistakes quickly now, his two children are really not that important to him.
Forget it, I'm too lazy to say anything more. Luckily, she never had any expectations of this father to begin with.
She had already planned that after spending the New Year in Nandi, she would make her relationship with Xiaoyunzi public, and then immediately return to Yucheng County, which was her home.
As for her mother and younger brother, she had no right to make decisions for them. If they wanted to stay in Nandi, they could stay in Nandi; if they wanted to go to Yucheng County, they could go to Yucheng County. She respected all their decisions.
Yueyu Qian rolled her eyes at Nangong Hanmo, who remained silent. To be honest, she was quite disappointed in this man.
"What are you still doing standing here? Don't you know that your presence makes the three of us, mother and son, very unhappy?"
Nangong Hanmo's face turned pale as he looked at Yue Yuqian with a sorrowful expression. "Qianqian, we haven't seen each other for ten years, you..."
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? I can't be bothered to listen to your nonsense." Yue Yuqian said irritably, "You know perfectly well that my two children are the ones I care about most, but how have you treated them?"
Therefore, from now on, you should not expect any pity from me, nor should you pretend to be weak in front of me.
Honestly, I saw through your little tricks a long time ago. The only reason I played along with you ten years ago was because I found you pleasing to the eye.
But now, I really don't like the look of you.
"Get out of here right now. Go wherever you want, just don't make a scene in front of me. If you really mess with me, you'll never see my mother and me again for the rest of your life."
"Qianqian..."
Nangong Hanmo looked hurt, his lips trembling as he tried to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
He doesn't blame Qianqian for blaming him; if anyone is to blame, it's Qianqian for being selfish and unfit to be a father.
Yueyuqian pointed at the palace gate and roared, "Get out of here now!"
Also, please stop wearing that hurt expression. Anyone who doesn't know better might think that the three of us, mother and children, bullied you, but you know perfectly well what the real situation is.”
Nangong Hanmo's heart ached terribly. Enough, enough. Too much of a good thing can be bad. He decided to leave first and could only slowly seek Qianqian's forgiveness later.
He miscalculated. He thought that as long as he got his daughter's forgiveness, Qianqian would naturally forgive him. But now it seems that Qianqian is even harder for him to forgive than his daughter.
What should I do?
After Nangong Hanmo left, Sheng Lingwei looked up at Yue Yuqian and said, "Mother, you don't need to take your anger out on him because of me."
Yueyuqian smiled and shook her head, "Weiwei, don't overthink it. Your father is a scoundrel, his mind is full of scheming, I know him best."
If we don't teach him a lesson this time, he'll probably never understand how important family is to him!
She wanted to tell him that her children were the most important people in her heart, and if he still didn't understand that, she didn't need this man!
Sheng Lingwei shrugged. "Fine! Whatever makes you happy. I won't stay in Nandi any longer. I'll go back to Yucheng County after the New Year."
Yueyu nodded to indicate that she understood.
Nangong Zichen's expression changed drastically in an instant. "Sister, you're going back so soon? What am I going to do?"
Sheng Lingwei smiled and pinched Nangong Zichen's little face, "Little brother, do whatever you want."
"Sister, you're just wasting your breath saying that!"
Looking at her aggrieved younger brother, Sheng Lingwei was both amused and exasperated. "Brother, you're not without legs. You can go wherever you want. Is this question really that difficult?"
Nangong Zichen's eyes lit up and he immediately beamed with joy, "Sister, I've made up my mind. I want to go to Yucheng County with you. The palace is just too desolate."
Sheng Lingwei frowned, "Then are you willing to part with your father?"
"What's there to be reluctant about?" Nangong Zichen said frankly, "Anyway, Father has never really cared about me all these years, so I still prefer to be with my sister."
Yueyu Qian's eyes darkened, and her resentment towards Nangong Hanmo deepened.
She had such a lovely child, how could she have such an irresponsible father? She must have been blind to have fallen for such a man.
Yueyu Qian's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly asked, "Weiwei, Wuyou, what do you think about leaving Father and keeping Mother?"
Sheng Lingwei: Σ(?д?|||)?? This... I'd better forget about it!
Nangong Zichen: ?(?'?'? )?????? This is a huge mess!
Seeing her children's expressions gradually turn to horror, Yueyuqian laughed awkwardly, "Haha, haha, Mother was just joking, just joking! You don't need to take it seriously!"
Sheng Lingwei and Nangong Zichen: ...Mother, your serious expression just now was no joke!
——
Lunar New Year's Eve.
Officials and their families came to the palace to celebrate New Year's Eve with the Emperor and Empress.
This Lunar New Year's Eve was the happiest one they had in recent years.
Because the emperor and empress were reunited, their emperor was no longer sickly or melancholy, giving people a sense of despondency.
And their princess actually has a fiancé, who is none other than Wang Jingqingyun, the famous general of Northern Qi.
Oh my goodness, they are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven!
No, no, they must at least offer Prince Jing a small toast. Hehe, they represent the princess's family today, so I'm sure Prince Jing won't refuse them.
Ha ha ha ha……
"Prince Jing, congratulations! I've heard so much about you, and today I'm finally meeting you in person. We must have a drink! Cheers!"
"Prince Jing, I wish you and the princess a long and happy marriage, and may you be of one heart forever. Come on, if we're brothers, let's do this together."
"..."
Jing Qingyun: "..." Are these ministers from Nandi trying to get him drunk today?
Alright! Let's see who gets whom drunk!
Anyway, Jing Qingyun can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
"Hehe, thank you all for your blessings, my gratitude is all in this wine cup. Come, let's drink to our hearts' content! Tonight is New Year's Eve, let's drink until we drop!"
"We won't leave until we're drunk!" The ministers laughed and raised their cups, drinking them down in one gulp.
"Come, come, my ministers, let's continue. This single cup of wine cannot express my gratitude. We must have a second, a third..."
The ministers of Nandi were completely fooled by Jing Qingyun. Because they had been drinking, their minds were a little muddled, and they could only let Jing Qingyun pour them one cup of wine after another in a daze.
"Come on, cheers! I've long wanted to compete with all of you ministers. Let's drink to our hearts' content today."
