"Seele, I really, really miss you so much!"
Gu Jingchun could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down his face.
"Xi'er, it's all your mother's fault, you did nothing wrong."
"It was Mother's carelessness that allowed someone to take advantage of her. It's what makes Xier worried."
"But don't worry, with your mother around, you can do whatever you want. You won't need to do anything you don't like. As for politics and your father, you won't need to work so hard."
Gu Jinxi nodded, then nestled in Gu Jingchun's arms and cried for a while before the two of them finally remembered that there was another person beside them.
Shen Hechuan watched the two embrace and cried his heart out.
He stood there for a long time, but no one even glanced at him, which made him feel both amused and a little sad.
Only now did the two finally remember themselves, and they let out a cold snort.
"You remembered me. I thought you and your son had forgotten that you have a husband and a father."
Gu Jinxi wiped away her tears, then smiled, her eyes filled with a hint of flattery, and said, "Thank you, Father. If it weren't for you, Mother wouldn't have come back so quickly."
Shen Hechuan nodded.
"That's true. Do you know how dangerous it was for your father this time? He had to slay demons and monsters along the way to successfully rescue your mother."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinxi blinked in surprise.
Really?
"Of course it's true!"
As Shen Hechuan spoke, he began to recount to Gu Jinxi the various heroic deeds he had accomplished along the way.
Of course, he couldn't help but embellish the story, which caused Gu Jinxi to gasp in surprise and stare at Shen Hechuan with unblinking eyes.
As Gu Jingchun watched the interaction between the two, the smile in his eyes deepened.
It seems that, at any time, the presence of a father has a significant impact on a child.
Since Gu Jinxi and Shen Hechuan recognized each other, the changes in their lives have been quite obvious.
Gu Jinxi, in particular, is becoming more and more like a little man.
After laughing, Gu Jingchun looked at Luo Ziqian and Princess Rongyang standing to the side.
At this moment, Princess Rongyang was arguing with Luo Ziqian.
Princess Rongyang was pinching Luo Ziqian's arm hard, causing Luo Ziqian to scream repeatedly.
"ah--"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"
Why did you pinch me for no reason?
Luo Ziqian took a step back, clutching his arm as if in excruciating pain.
But Princess Rongyang stood with her hands on her hips, full of anger.
"Tell me the truth, what did you do last night?"
Luo Ziqian was filled with grievance, "Where can I go!"
"Of course I'm sleeping in the mansion!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Princess Rongyang was so angry that she swore.
"Smell this! What's that smell on you? Such a strong scent of perfume! You actually told me you were sleeping in the mansion? You're kidding me!"
As she spoke, she stepped forward and pinched Luo Ziqian's ear.
"Tell me, have you been going to those brothels again?"
Princess Rongyang grabbed Luo Ziqian by the ear, causing him to scream in pain.
"What nonsense are you spouting? When have I ever been to a place like that?"
Princess Rongyang: "Princess Rongyang, do you think I'm stupid?"
"You think I didn't know about all the places you went before?"
Luo Ziqian is about to be unjustly killed.
"Didn't I tell you before? All those places I went to were just for show, nothing real!"
"I guarantee that even if I had been there before, I had never touched those girls."
After saying that, he added another sentence.
"Of course, I didn't touch those men either!"
Princess Rongyang was even angrier upon hearing this.
"You actually want to touch a man!"
As he spoke, he kicked Luo Ziqian.
Luo Ziqian lunged forward and narrowly avoided the attack.
"I never wanted to touch a man! I'm just explaining this to you! Explaining! Do you even know what explaining is?"
"I don't know. All I want to know is where the fragrance of these cosmetics on you comes from?"
Luo Ziqian was almost in tears.
"I really don't know!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Gu Jingchun again.
"Miss Gu, help me! Miss Gu, I really don't know! Please save me!"
Princess Rongyang glanced at Gu Jingchun, her expression instantly changing, and smiled at him.
"Sister-in-law, you're back!"
She smiled sweetly.
"We can talk about it when we get back. Right now, I'll take him back and give him a good talking to!"
Gu Jingchun: ...
What exactly happened? Princess Rongyang, how come she suddenly seems like a completely different person? How did she become... so powerful?
No one explained this to her, because Luo Ziqian had already been dragged away by Princess Rongyang.
Princess Rongyang: "You actually want your sister-in-law to save you? Do you still have feelings for me?"
Luo Ziqian: "Are you crazy? You want your brother to kill me, don't you?!"
Princess Rongyang: "Are you crazy? You actually dared to go to a brothel? I think you're just bored and have nothing better to do. I'll tell my brother later and have him investigate you thoroughly."
Luo Ziqian: "I already said I didn't! Where are you taking me?!"
Princess Rongyang: "Of course I'll take you to the Luo residence. I want to ask Minister Luo a good question about how he raised you, letting you go to such a brothel!"
Luo Ziqian: "I already said I didn't go! And don't make me go back. If I go back, my father will beat me to death."
"They deserved to be beaten to death for going to a place like that!"
Luo Ziqian: ...
He's really being wrongly accused and killed.
They arrived at the Luo residence.
After Princess Rongyang explained the matter to Madam Luo, Madam Luo, Liu Sihua, immediately stood up.
Without saying a word, he first scolded Luo Ziqian.
Luo Ziqian looked aggrieved.
"Mother, I really didn't go! I was at home all day yesterday, as you know!"
"Oh, right, I ran into Daddy this morning! I was just about to leave when Daddy came in, and he was in such a hurry that he bumped into me..."
At this point, Luo Ziqian suddenly realized something.
His movements suddenly stopped, and then he looked sharply at Liu Sihua.
Liu Sihua had naturally figured out the crux of the matter, and without caring that Princess Rongyang was still present, she grabbed a feather duster and headed straight for the study.
Upon seeing this, Luo Ziqian quickly went to stop him.
"Mother, don't panic, there must be some misunderstanding here!"
"Mother, don't be anxious. Father isn't that kind of person. You need to listen to his explanation first. Please don't rush..."
Princess Rongyang stood still, looking at the bewildered palace maid Lü'er behind her, and then at Luo Ziqian who had chased after her.
After thinking about it, I decided to go after them anyway.
