"Achen, what's wrong with you?" Hua Qingcheng patted Han Yichen's back gently and comforted him softly.
Even though she knew that this guy was most likely pretending, Hua Qingcheng would not expose his tricks in public.
Han Yichen glanced at Gongsun Yuyao from the corner of his eye, then howled at the top of his lungs, "Xiao Qingcheng, this woman actually called me a vixen. Woohoo... Are you saying Ah Chen is a vixen?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingcheng turned her head to look at Gongsun Yuyao who was leaning in Ximen Qingshu's arms, her eyes slightly cold.
Seeing that the man in red was actually the first to complain, Gongsun Yuyao stood up and retorted, "It was you who first called me shameless!"
Han Yichen, who was holding Hua Qingcheng's arm and leaning on her shoulder, glanced at her sideways, then curled his lips and said to Gongsun Yuyao with an innocent look: "It's because you seduced my brother that I scolded you..."
Hearing Han Yichen say this, Hua Qingcheng's face suddenly turned dark.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
At this moment, Ximen Qingshu stood up from her seat and said to Hua Qingcheng, "Qingcheng, right? I am Li Ge's aunt, Ximen Qingshu. I was rude and offended this young man. It's all a misunderstanding. Yuyao and Li Ge have been childhood sweethearts since they were young. They haven't seen each other for many years. Yuyao was inevitably a little excited... Yuyao, quickly apologize to your cousin and cousin-in-law."
Gongsun Yuyao curled her lips when she heard that, took light steps, walked forward, bowed slightly to Mu Lige and said, "Cousin, it was Yuyao's fault just now. You... won't blame Yuyao, right?" Her pair of bright eyes were like two crystal clear gems, sparkling with tears at this moment, and her face was full of grievance.
Before Mu Lige could answer, Gongsun Yuyao reluctantly bowed to Hua Qingcheng again, but it was obviously much more perfunctory than when she bowed to Mu Lige. She only called out, "Cousin..."
Hua Qingcheng gave Mu Lige a meaningful look, then said to Ximen Qingshu and Gongsun Yuyao, "It's fine if it's a misunderstanding. After all, we're family and there's no need to ruin the relationship. I've already sent for my uncle to come over. Aunt and cousin, please wait a moment. You can all be reunited as a family soon."
A moment later, Gongsun Mulin was invited over by the yamen runners. Seeing his wife and daughter, he was slightly surprised. "Why are you here? I'm here for important matters, not just for sightseeing!"
"Sir, can't we come and see you because we miss you?" Ximen Qingshu said a little aggrievedly.
Because others were present, Gongsun Mulin couldn't get angry. God knows how embarrassed he felt when he heard his daughter had just spoken rudely to the yamen runners at the county government gate. However, he had been so busy over the years that he neglected to discipline his daughter, allowing his wife to spoil her and make her spoiled and willful. He still felt guilty towards his wife and daughter.
Mu Lige said at the right time: "Uncle, since my aunt and Yuyao are here, just settle them down. The most important thing for a family is to be together!" Soon, Ximen Qingshu and Gongsun Yuyao, together with the maid Xiaodie, were arranged to live in the mansion next to the county government office.
However, as soon as he entered the hall of the mansion, Gongsun Yuyao frowned and complained dissatisfiedly, "Dad, you are now the governor of Yuheng County. How can you live outside the county government?"
As soon as Gongsun Yuyao finished speaking, Gongsun Mulin frowned and scolded, "Yuyao, it's just a place to stay, is it that important? What's more, this is only temporary, and Her Highness the Crown Princess won't stay in Yuheng County forever. Also, although I am Li Ge's uncle, there is still a difference between the monarch and the subject. I can't let Dad live with the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess's lord, can I?"
"Master, I don't like what you're saying." Ximen Qingshu interrupted, "As the saying goes, 'Mother is the most important uncle.' You are Li Ge's biological uncle. Does that mean he doesn't recognize you now that he's become successful? Besides, our Yao'er, she was originally... originally destined to be the queen..."
"That's what I mean... I don't know what's so good about Nalan Qingcheng. My cousin is so devoted to her that he is even willing to share a wife with another man for her..." Gongsun Yuyao also echoed dissatisfiedly.
Gongsun Yuyao, who had been indoctrinated by Ximen Qingshu into the idea of becoming a queen since childhood, was looking forward to Mu Lige leading the rebel army back to Zhaoyang Kingdom, overthrowing Su Mu Tianjun's rule, and then ascending the throne to become emperor and marrying her as queen.
However, all of this has now been shattered because of that woman named Nalan Qingcheng...
"Shut up!" Gongsun Mulin rubbed his brow in pain, then said seriously, "Ximen Qingshu, Gongsun Yuyao, I don't care what you thought before, from now on, throw all those unrealistic fantasies out of your mind."
"The reason I assembled the army was simply to avenge my sister and brother-in-law. Li Ge is now the Crown Princess of Laifeng Country. It's impossible for him and Yu Yao to be together in this lifetime. You... stop dreaming!"
After saying this, Gongsun Mulin turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.
"Mom, look at Dad... isn't he just sticking his elbow outward?" Gongsun Yuyao was extremely angry and stomped her feet like an annoyed kitten.
Seeing this, Ximen Qingshu sighed slightly and said, "Okay, okay, your father is angry, so don't provoke him. But, Yao'er, your father is right, otherwise... you should let Li Ge go!"
However, Gongsun Yuyao's eyes shone with an unyielding light, "Mother, Yao'er truly loves my cousin. Even if I can't be the queen, Yao'er... Yao'er is willing to be his concubine."
