Chapter 342 The Princess of the Dandy World Just Wants to Show Off 38

The next morning, Mingnan asked Zhou Xingzhi to call all the men in the backyard over.

The husbands thought that Mingnan was finally tired of Zhengfu and remembered them.

Everyone was dressed up gorgeously. Before they arrived, the fragrance wafted over, accompanied by a burst of cute smiles and soft words.

"I am here to pay my respects to the king~"

"Lord, you finally remembered me!"

"king……"

They walked in quickly, holding their robes, and when they looked up, they saw Xie Wuyu sitting next to Mingnan.

When their eyes met, they fell silent in awkward silence for a moment, gazing at this legendary prince with curiosity.

"I am your servant, and I pay my respects to you, my Lord."

After all, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and they bowed politely.

Xie Wu Yu took a quick look at the remaining people. Each of them had their own unique characteristics and would stand out wherever they were placed.

Apart from anything else, Feng Jun does have a good eye.

Mingnan said expressionlessly, "No need to be polite. I summoned you here today because I have something to tell you."

"Please speak, my lord. We are all ears."

Said the man in blue who was leading the group.

"I have informed His Majesty and Lord Feng that I am ready to let you go. You will have nothing to do with the Rong Palace in the future. You can marry anyone you want and go wherever you want. I will not interfere."

Without waiting for the husbands to speak, Mingnan continued, "Of course. You have wasted your youth in my house these years. I will give you some silver as capital for you to settle down and make sure you have food and clothing. You can go back now and pack your things. You must leave the palace by tomorrow night at the latest."

The husbands were stunned by the sudden news. After they came to their senses, they knelt on the ground and started crying, refusing to leave.

Xie Wuyu put down the teacup heavily, and with a "dong" sound, he looked intimidating without even getting angry.

Several people looked at him immediately.

Xie Wu Yu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten who your previous master was and what his background was? The king has forgiven you and given you freedom and money to live on. If you are smart, take it and go far away. You can still marry again. Isn't it happier than guarding an empty room in the palace?"

"If you guys don't know what's interesting and insist on fighting, then don't blame me for making random comments."

When the husbands heard this, they immediately looked at Mingnan for help.

But Mingnan picked up the teacup and drank slowly without even raising his eyelids, obviously letting Xie Wuyou do what he wanted.

The husbands completely gave up after seeing this, said a few nice words and left.

In less than a day, the man in the backyard was gone.

…

After the backyard was empty, Mingnan took some time to take Xie Wuyu for a walk.

Xie Wuyou has never been here before. I don’t know if he is really not interested or is afraid of seeing those men. He usually only hangs out in the front yard.

This was his first time setting foot in the backyard. Walking through the corridors and doors, he saw beautiful scenery and spacious yards, each with a different theme.

There are plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, as well as pine trees and waves like the sea.

The four seasons are different.

Mingnan held Xie Wuyu's hand and said as they walked, "See which yard you like. If we get bored living in the front yard, we can stay here for a while. There is a lotus garden in front. It has the best scenery and is the coolest in the summer. We can come here to escape the heat in a while."

Xie Wu Yu brushed away the flower branches blocking Ming Nan's forehead and picked a pink flower to put in Ming Nan's hair.

Just as the two of them walked onto a small arch bridge, Mingnan looked down at his reflection in the water.

The pink flowers are not eye-catching among the pearl pins, but they blend in with the whole thing, adding a touch of cuteness.

Mingnan looked around and asked in a low voice, "Does it look good?"

Xie Wuyu raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of pride, "I picked it, so it's naturally pretty."

The look in the reflection is meaningful.

Mingnan immediately heard the hidden meaning in his words.

This statement is a double entendre, praising both the flower and the person.

Mingnan looked back and pinched Xie Wuyu's face, "Did the little puffer eat candy today?"

"No." Xie Wuyu looked down at her, "Why?"

"Such a sweet mouth."

Mingnan let go of his hand and continued walking forward.

There was a small pavilion in front. Mingnan walked in, sat down on the edge, leaned against the railing, and fanned himself with a small fan.

Xie Wu Yu reached out and took the fan from her hand, sat behind her, and took over the job of fanning her.

The two of them sat in the cool air quietly for a while, chatting casually about what to eat for lunch today.

As he was speaking, Zhou Xingzhi hurried over from the bridge.

"Lord, Madam, the old lady of the Xu family sent someone to deliver a letter."

Xie Wuyu was startled, "Xu family?"

Mingnan's mind went blank for a moment. He thought for a long time but couldn't remember which family the Xu family was.

Seeing this, Zhou Xingzhi reminded quietly: "Lord Wang, Old Madam Xu is your grandmother."

Mingnan suddenly realized, "It turned out to be her."

Xie Wuyu was a little confused, "You and her seem to be a little distant, why?"

Mingnan took the letter from Zhou Xingzhi, waved his hand to let her go, and then said, "This is a long story."

…

In the Dayun Dynasty, women are respected, so women are the heads of the family. From a woman's perspective, her mother's family is her ancestral family, and her father's family is her maternal ancestral family.

The original owner's father, the virtuous Lord Xu Siyuan, was the third legitimate son of the Xu family. He had an older sister and an older brother. The old lady of the Xu family thought that the third child would also be a daughter, but unexpectedly gave birth to a son.

The ancestors of the Xu family were once prosperous, but unfortunately they fell into decline early, and no great figures emerged in the following generations. In Huadu, they have become a family of the lowest rank, and no one would even think of them unless they were mentioned intentionally.

Old Mrs. Xu hoped to give birth to more promising daughters.

Sons are worthless these days, one is enough. If another one comes, the Xu family will naturally not like it.

Therefore, Xu Siyuan grew up being ignored by the Xu family and was not very close to his family members. Later, due to an accidental encounter with the current emperor, the emperor took him into the harem, doted on him very much, and promoted him all the way to the position of a wise monarch.

Originally, after His Majesty gave birth to the little daughter Mingnan, he planned to confer the title of Imperial Noble on Xu Siyuan. Unfortunately, fate played a trick on him and Xu Siyuan fell seriously ill and died.

During this period, the Xu family had always wanted to get closer to Xu Siyuan. Unfortunately, although Xu Siyuan had a calm personality, he had a clear distinction between love and hate and never gave them a good look.

As soon as he died, Mingnan, who was still an infant, was sent to be raised by Fengjun, and the Xu family had no contact with him anymore.

Therefore, the Xu family has been standing still for so many years and has not gained any benefits.

…

Xie Wuyu was quite amazed after hearing this. "For a family as utilitarian as the Xu family, it actually raised a person as smart and brilliant as my father. It's really rare."

"Hmm?" Mingnan raised his eyebrows, "Father?"

Xie Wuyu paused, pursed her lips and said, "What's wrong? I'm marrying you, so your father is my father, isn't that okay?"

"Okay, of course. I just thought that my father would be very happy to hear this."

Mingnan smiled and hooked his fingers together, shaking them.

Xie Wu Yu continued to fan her with the fan.

"So they are looking for you now because they think you have left the palace and are no longer under the control of Feng Jun, and might recognize them?"
