Perhaps the prince is impatient?
"If the prince had gone first, he would have sent us a message, but now, the prince has not sent us any message." Qingsong shook his head, thinking to himself, if only that were the case.
Before they knew it, it was time for Huo Yunyao's flower-viewing banquet.
"Pretty sister, please take me with you!" Xu Qingshi said to Li Zhiwei in a coquettish tone.
He's been staying at the Li residence every day for the past few days, not going anywhere, because he's really bored.
“Qing Shi, today’s banquet is a trap. You should stay in the manor.” Li Zhiwei sighed. If it were an ordinary banquet, it would be fine, but Huo Yunyao clearly wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
If she were to bring Xu Qingshi with her, and were to momentarily lose focus, giving the enemy an opening, wouldn't that be like letting Xu Qingshi fall into a wolf's den? Just thinking about it made Li Zhiwei extremely averse to such an outcome.
"Pretty sister, I promise I won't run away, and I won't let Mo Yu leave my side," Xu Qingshi said, pulling Mo Yu along.
Outside Jiyun Manor, Shen An'an waited anxiously for Li Zhiwei's arrival.
She didn't know what Huo Yunyao was going to do today, but the thought of Li Zhiwei telling her to do as she said still made her very scared.
If Li Zhiwei were to suffer any accident because of this, she thought she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Inside Jiyun Mountain Villa.
"Mother." A little boy looked at Huo Yunyao timidly, feeling very scared.
"You're supposed to be a boy, yet you're always so timid and submissive. What kind of behavior is that?" Huo Yunyao felt extremely displeased when she saw her son.
Considering Huo Yunyao's courage and resourcefulness, how come she gave birth to a son who always keeps his head down, no matter who he meets?
He doesn't resemble his own son at all.
But ironically, this person not only looked exactly like his father, but also crawled out of her belly.
Even if you don't like it, you can only accept it.
But considering that many guests would be coming today, wouldn't he be making a fool of himself by acting like this?
"I know I was wrong," Zhu Maosheng said softly.
He didn't know why, but every time he saw his mother, he felt a deep sense of fear.
Although he knew that this was his mother who gave birth to him, he just couldn't feel close to her.
"Didn't Madam invite the ladies and young ladies of Li'an County to admire the flowers today? Why are you angry again? Maosheng, did you make your mother angry?" A deep male voice came from outside.
The person who arrived was none other than Huo Yunyao's husband, the second master of the Zhu family, Zhu Yunxian.
Zhu Maosheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the voice of the person who had come; he knew that his father must have come to rescue him.
At this point, all he had to do was lower his head and remain silent; his father would find a suitable explanation for him in front of his mother.
"And you're still talking? Look at your son! How is he like my son, Huo Yunyao's son? He's always so timid and submissive. It's infuriating to look at him." Huo Yunyao pointed at her son with a dissatisfied expression, her words full of disdain.
It's as if this isn't their own son.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxian's eyes darkened. He then smiled and walked up to Huo Yunyao, patting her back to comfort her, "Madam, Maosheng is just a child. He is still young. If he does something wrong, I will teach him slowly. Please don't get upset over this, otherwise, I will feel sorry for him."
"All you know is to feel sorry for him? When have you ever felt sorry for me? My son, Huo Yunyao's son, is like this all the time. How can I take him out like this? Where would I put my face?" Huo Yunyao said this, but her tone softened a bit.
She found Zhu Yunxian's words quite agreeable.
However, she didn't understand why she just couldn't bring herself to like this son from the bottom of her heart.
"How could that be? I'm too heartbroken for Madam. Maosheng is our son. If you turn around and scold him now, won't you be the one who feels the most heartache? I feel heartbroken for you!" Zhu Yunxian said, looking at Huo Yunyao with deep affection.
Seeing this, Zhu Maosheng wisely withdrew.
