Chapter 206 Your Dad Has No Shame
The more Yan Hengjun listened, the uglier her expression became. The Sixth Princess was really good at disguising herself.
His Majesty secretly entrusted her with an important task, and the eldest princess's subsequent memorial requesting merit also reflected her abilities and contributions.
These are fine, it is not her turn to worry about the struggle for the throne.
The key point is that all signs indicate that the Sixth Princess has no such thoughts about her eldest son.
Not to mention anything else, just the drugging incident alone, if she had any ulterior motives, the situation would have been completely different.
With the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the opportunity right in front of him, he still refused it?
Yan Hengjun's face flushed red, and he rushed forward with a roar.
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? I've lost face!"
"Hey, be gentle, ma'am."
"Also, what's with the ginger soup?"
"I don't know what ginger soup is...ah!"
On this side, Sui Mo followed the servant all the way out.
The atmosphere was too depressing, making Zhimo feel as if he couldn't breathe.
"Well... your name is Suimo, and mine is Zhimo. We look quite similar, haha..."
I turned sideways and looked back, but the maid behind me still had an expressionless face.
I glanced up at him and felt a chill running through my bones.
Zhimo was so scared that he turned around quickly and couldn't help shivering.
After that, he didn't make any more conversation and walked to the door in silence.
The old butler was waiting beside the carriage and took two steps forward when he saw someone.
“Miss Suimo, my lady ordered me to bring some gifts.
There are several old medicinal herbs among them. I wish His Highness a speedy recovery."
Sui Mo glanced at Mo San, who was traveling with him, and lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing several brocade boxes with calligraphy and paintings inside.
When dealing with the rich and powerful, old medicines from previous years are also hard currency.
It is impossible to buy century-old medicinal herbs on the market.
Except for the drug stores with backgrounds that use them as their treasures, all others will be bought out immediately as soon as the news gets out.
Sui Mo nodded slightly and clasped his fists towards the old housekeeper.
"In that case, I will take it on behalf of the master."
In exchange for saving her life, she didn't even say "thank you".
The old butler knew something about the inside story and knew that the lady wanted to buy off the favor, so the gift was quite generous.
In addition to the collection of the prime minister's mansion, he even used his own dowry.
But the grace of saving a life... well, it cannot be measured by the value of the gift.
The person opposite should have understood what the lady meant, which is why his attitude was so different before and after entering the mansion.
What could a servant like him say? He bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
When I stood up, there was no one in front of me.
The other party did not accept his gift and had already boarded the carriage.
After driving a long way out, Sui Mo lifted the car curtain and took a look.
So what if he is the Prime Minister’s Mansion, so what if he is the Number One Scholar, so what if he has made some progress!
It was her prince who looked down on Pei Xueqiao.
If Your Highness is willing to stand in front of others and show off his talents, heh...
Pei Xueqi was in a good mood. Although he still received a thank-you gift, he would find a way to return it later.
It’s better to keep coming and going.
I strolled into the dining hall and realized that the atmosphere was a little off.
My father covered his ears and rubbed them carefully, making a "hissing...hissing..." sound from time to time.
The mother crossed her arms and her face turned red.
"Father, what did you do to make Mother angry?"
"Treason!"
Pei Xueqiao:?
Yan Hengjun's chest heaved as he looked at Haodaer with an unfriendly look.
The girl would never make up such a story about the Sixth Prince not liking ginger soup.
Otherwise, everything will be revealed if you question him face to face.
Although he didn't know what happened exactly, Yan Hengjun could roughly guess what happened.
It’s hard to say what kind of courtesy the eldest son showed to others, but it’s conceivable that the result was not good.
This made her feel embarrassed, and she felt a lump in her chest. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She pointed at Lao Pei and
"Your father is shameless. He drinks and flirts with little vixens."
Lao Pei: ???
Xiao Pei:!!!
Pei Xueqiao took a deep breath and looked at his old father in disbelief.
I've never heard that he likes this before. He's so old, and he's...losing his integrity in his later years...
It was like a basin of ice was poured over his head, causing Pei Xuanyun to shiver continuously.
“This…you…”
He stretched out his finger tremblingly, but only received a warning look from his beloved wife.
Yan Hengjun originally wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, but looking at her eldest son in front of her, she had to endure it.
My son is grown up now and has dignity. If I expose his mistake in front of him, who knows what will happen.
Pei Xuanyun had no idea what his beloved wife was thinking, so he could only retract his finger after being warned.
"Your mother misunderstood. It was just a drunken joke by a colleague."
Saying this with gritted teeth is the last bottom line for the old comrade.
There is a limit to spoiling children. At least Lao Pei doesn't want to sacrifice his reputation.
Pei Xueqiao didn't say anything, but looked at his father up and down with suspicion, as if trying to determine the truth of what he said.
"What are you looking at! Let the chef serve the food!"
Touching his nose, Pei Xueqiao finally decided not to add fuel to the fire, for fear that his father would be beaten to death.
However, the meaningful look in his eyes before he left almost made Lao Pei break the window paper.
The old couple were the only ones left in the dining hall. Yan Hengjun sternly warned:
"Just pretend you don't know anything about this. If you dare to let it slip, humph..."
Pei Xuanyun was so angry. For so many years, he had only been able to scare people with just a "humph".
But how many years has it been since I last saw this scene?
Looking back on those days, although they were worried every day, the couple went out together and were as close as one person.
Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in a flash.
Pei Xuanyun silently grasped his wife's hand and said, "Don't worry, my husband knows what's going on."
Yan Hengjun rolled his eyes to the sky and symbolically pulled his hand away, but was unable to break free.
"You are so old, and you don't care about repairing it."
Pei Xuanyun chuckled, realizing that the matter was over.
"So what? I'm at home with my wife, who can possibly criticize me?
It’s not like I’m drinking wine…”
Yan Hengjun glanced at him unhappily, "What do you have to say about our son's affairs?"
If she were still the infamous Sixth Princess, as a mother, she would believe that she was doing nothing wrong.
But the other party is clearly a secretive person, and no one can figure out His Majesty's true thoughts.
Pei Xuanyun gently stroked the back of his wife's hand, "My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I will watch over them and will not let them get involved in party disputes."
As for relationships...for young people, the more their parents interfere, the more likely they are to rebel.
Old Pei felt that it was unnecessary. If he did nothing, his son would be in trouble.
"Hmph," Yan Hengjun's worries were appeased, but he became unhappy again.
"Why do you look down on my son? My son is the top scholar, what difference does he make?"
Old Pei resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Just calm down... This has nothing to do with our son.
It is said that the Sixth Prince likes strong men and does not like weak scholars."
"Hmph!" Yan Hengjun rolled up his sleeves. "I told you to exercise, and it's you who's doing it!"
"I just keep asking him to read so much every day that he's become pedantic.
He can't even pursue a girl, and he's still rejected by her."
"Alright, alright, ma'am, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."
When Pei Xueqiao returned to the dining hall, he found that his parents had returned to their former self.
They seem to be even more affectionate, with those eyes that convey affection...
But when he stepped in, both of their eyes were focused on him.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel like I dislike him. Why?
