Chapter 448 The Clash of Three Men
Watching his peach blossom kite gradually turn into a black dot in the sky and disappear without a trace.
Shangguan Yi's face turned ashen.
Little Apple tilted her head back and chirped away.
"Oh dear, your kite is too flimsy."
Shangguan Yi...
Pei Yuan slowly loosened the string in his hand, and the tiger kite instantly soared high into the sky.
This caused Little Apple to exclaim in surprise.
"Wow, that's amazing! It flies so high!"
Even Little Potato couldn't help but look up.
Pei Yuan handed the end of the tiger kite string to Little Apple.
"You control this tiger, and Daddy will try your little rabbit, okay?"
Little Apple's eyes lit up, and she said in her childish voice, "Daddy, I want the little rabbit to fly as high as the tiger."
That cry of "Father" almost melted Pei Yuan's heart.
He grinned and nodded, "Okay, don't worry about it, Daddy."
He easily launched the little rabbit kite to the same height.
Little Apple jumped for joy, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Pei Yuan.
"Wow, Daddy is so amazing!"
Pei Yuan couldn't help but smile and turned to look at Little Potato.
Little Potato watched his interaction with Little Apple intently, but when Pei Yuan looked over, he turned his head away with a cool expression.
It was as if they didn't care at all about Pei Yuan's actions.
Pei Yuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
His son still seems to have some issues with him.
Watching Little Apple snuggle up to Pei Yuan and affectionately call him "Daddy," Shangguan Yi felt a pang of sadness.
Seeing what the little potato looked like made me feel a little better.
Just as she was about to take Little Potato out to play by herself, Chen Chu stopped her.
Chen Chu frowned and looked him over. "How did you get here? Where is my master?"
Shangguan Yi crossed his arms and scoffed, "Guess?"
Shen Chu's heart skipped a beat, "Prince Jing has come too?"
More than a month ago, she waited for several days at the South Vietnamese border with her little potato and little apple.
The master then arrived with the token of the King of Jing.
She knew that once she left, King Jing would definitely be on high alert against her master.
I never expected that my master would be able to leave safely.
When asked how he escaped, his master gave a vague answer, only saying that he got King Jing drunk, stole the token, and ran away.
She didn't ask any further questions.
Shangguan Yi looked at her intently, "My Uncle Jing Wang came to pursue his wife, and so did I."
Three black lines appeared on Chen Chu's forehead.
These two, master and apprentice, are like leeches, impossible to shake off.
"Shangguan Yi, I'm four years older than you, but I only treat you like a younger brother. Don't do anything reckless."
Shangguan Yi's eyes darkened slightly, but he turned to look at Pei Yuan with a face full of resentment.
"Just because of him? What do I lack compared to him? I'm younger, better looking, and even better than him..."
Shen Chu interrupted him.
"Shangguan Yi, don't say those kinds of things again. Thank you for taking care of me during my three years at Qingliang Manor."
But love can't be compared; in my eyes, he is the best.
Shangguan Yi's face turned pale, and he looked extremely disappointed.
Shen Chu felt a pang of reluctance, but still insisted on making things clear.
Shangguan Yi appears arrogant on the surface, but he is actually very sensitive.
Perhaps it was because I always argued with him at the beginning that I attracted his attention.
"We've known each other for three years, but we're only friends. Your feelings for me are just a passing fancy."
But this isn't love. One day when you truly meet the person you love, you'll understand that liking and loving are different.
Shangguan Yi clenched his fists, remaining silent.
At this moment, Yun Haixin and Shangguan Ye walked in one after the other through the passageway.
Shen Chu quickly went to greet him, "Master, are you alright?"
Yun Haixin acted as if nothing had happened, laughing without a care in the world.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Shen Chu saw that her expression was normal, but Shangguan Ye, who was following behind, had a livid face, and his eyes were fixed on his master.
It seemed that it wasn't her master who had suffered a setback, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then called Pei Yuan over.
Pei Yuan carefully reminded Little Apple and Little Potato to be careful, and instructed Jinbao to look after the two children before coming over.
"This is my master, Yun Haixin."
Pei Yuan knelt down and performed the traditional kowtow to Yun Haixin as an elder.
“A-Chu told me that she and her two children are where they are today because her master saved her three years ago.”
We will always remember your kindness in raising and educating us, and the kindness in saving our lives.
From now on, no matter where Ah Chu and I are, we'll always have a place for Master to eat and stay.
Yun Haixin looked Pei Yuan up and down, her eyebrows slightly raised.
"Tsk, does this mean they're going to take care of me in my old age?"
"As long as Master doesn't mind, Ah Chu and I would be more than happy to accept it."
Yun Haixin glanced at Chen Chu sideways.
"Who was it that swore they would never acknowledge each other again when they came back? And they've made up in just two or three days?"
Shen Chu blushed. "I misunderstood him, Master. Three years ago, he didn't marry anyone else; he married my memorial tablet."
Shangguan Yi looked at Pei Yuan in surprise, his expression turning even more unpleasant.
Yun Haixin smiled and looked at Pei Yuan with the eyes of someone looking at a son-in-law.
She even reached out and patted him, nodding in satisfaction.
"Yes, not bad. He's a good kid with a sense of loyalty and righteousness, unlike some scumbags who only realize their mistake after they've lost him."
"Ha, do you really think there's a pill to undo regrets in this world?"
Shangguan Ye's face turned from green to red, his expression ashen, yet he dared not retaliate.
She looked at Yun Haixin with a wronged expression and said, "I know I was wrong, and I will make it up to you in the future."
Yun Haixin sneered.
"Pah! Even dogs will reject a belated act of sincerity."
Shangguan Ye's face turned pale as he gritted his teeth and said, "Yun Haixin, I will not give you any more chances to leave me behind."
Yun Haixin snorted coldly, "Whatever, you're not tired of chasing after me, I don't care."
Shangguan Ye gritted his teeth, but he was completely helpless against her.
Shen Chu whispered to Yun Haixin, "Master, Sixth Brother has been poisoned by a very potent poison."
Even the eldest brother doesn't have a good solution. Could you take a look and examine him?
Yun Haixin readily agreed.
Pei Yuan discussed with Shen Chu, "Let's take Master and the two children back to Prince Rui's mansion. It's more spacious there, and Master and the children will have more room to stay."
After three years apart, he and Shen Chu had so much to say to each other, and he didn't want to be separated from his two children.
Shen Chu had no objection, and then asked Yun Haixin for her opinion.
Yun Haixin nodded with a smile.
"The Prince Rui's residence? Very well, your Prince Rui's residence should be off-limits to unauthorized personnel, especially royal families from other countries, without an invitation, right?"
"What if some traitor infiltrated? That would be terrible!"
Pei Yuan instantly understood what she meant.
"That's natural. Prince Jing and the Second Prince of Nanyue are both distinguished guests of Great Wei. Since they've come, they should stay at the Huitong Hall."
I will send you both invitations another day, and you are both welcome to visit my home.
"Then I will properly settle accounts with King Jing regarding the life-saving grace I bestowed upon my wife three years ago."
He emphasized the words "family" and "life-saving grace," still harboring resentment over Shangguan Ye taking Shen Chu away three years ago.
Shangguan Ye and Shangguan Yi's faces both turned dark at the same time.
No matter how shameless they were, they still had to consider the face of the Southern Yue royal family and couldn't really force their way into Prince Rui's residence.
They could only watch helplessly as Pei Yuan left with Chen Chu, Yun Haixin, and the two children.
Three years later, the three men clashed again, ending in Pei Yuan's victory.
Meanwhile, at the Prince Heng's Mansion.
Prince Heng looked at Zhou Weizong, the heir apparent of Marquis Anding, with a shocked expression.
"What did you say? Shen Chu is back? Are you sure it's Shen Chu?"
