On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

I don’t know how long it took, but Mu Xiaoxiao finally got tired of crying. She hiccuped, held Rong Xian’s arm as if she was holding a lost treasure, and wiped her tears in front of Su Sui’an and her daughter.

"Thank you, this beautiful and kind-hearted lady, for saving me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to find my poor brother."

"By the way, Miss Guiqi, you still don't know my name, right? My brother's name is Rong Xian, you can just call me Sister Rong."

"From now on, my life belongs to you, young lady. If you have any instructions, just tell me."

Varied...

what?

This "Sister Rong" was crying loudly the moment before, and the next moment she said "this life belongs to her"?

Things were developing in a strange direction, and Su Sui'an found it a little hard to accept.

Just as he was about to refuse, Ji Lanshuang spoke first, "Since you are homeless now, and we just happen to need some help here, you should stay for the time being."

"Thank you, ma'am." Noticing Su Sui'an's reaction, Mu Xiaoxiao had already expected Su Sui'an to object.

He immediately agreed to Ji Lanshuang's words, expressed his loyalty to Rong Xian, and left quickly.

Liu Er was delighted to learn that Ji Lan Shuang had personally asked to keep Sister Rong and her brother. Seeing Ji Lan Shuang looking at Su Sui An with a look of hesitation, she quickly said, "I will go and see how the young lady's accommodation is arranged."

The dining room, which was originally bustling with activity, was suddenly left with only mother and daughter, except for Nanny Deng who was guarding the door.

Ever since Ji Lanshuang saw Rong Xian and the "sister and brother" recognize each other, she inexplicably wanted to look at the boy with the clear eyes a few more times.

From the first moment she saw Young Master Rong, Ji Lanshuang felt that the young man had delicate features, a stunning appearance, a tall figure, and a temperament that was not inferior to that of the young masters in Luojing City. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him...

Since she and her daughter have reached a consensus and know that it is impossible to be with the Duke Gu's Mansion, then...

"Mom, I don't want to think about my lifelong affairs yet," Su Sui'an saw what Ji Lanshuang was up to at a glance, "Besides, Xiaorong is only seventeen or eighteen years old now. Maybe I'm older than him. I can't help looking at him..."

Looking at Rong Xian's innocent look no matter what he did, Su Sui'an felt that having any impure thoughts about him was a beastly idea.

not to mention...

She always felt that the relationship between Rong Xian and that "Sister Rong" was a little awkward. They didn't seem like siblings at all...

Ji Lanshuang had no idea what Su Sui'an was thinking.

She sighed. She was originally full of energy and wanted to speak, but now she suddenly became listless.

"Mother understands. Let them do their job well here."

Things like fate require mutual attraction.

Since her daughter has already said this, she can't force her daughter any further.

If her daughter's reputation was ruined because of the marriage at Duke Gu's Mansion and she couldn't find a good match, she would just take her daughter away then.

Anyway, the deeds to the land, shops and precious jewelry she holds now are enough to provide their small family with food and clothing for most of their lives.

Su Sui'an called the servants and told them to distribute the unfinished food. Then he and Nanny Deng helped Ji Lanshuang leave.

Not until the dining room returned to silence again did two figures, one tall and one short, quietly leave a dark corner of the dining room.

After returning to the temporary accommodation room, Mu Xiaoxiao put her hand on Rong Xian's shoulder with emotion.

"Son, I'm sorry for giving you such a face."

She heard clearly the conversation between Su Sui'an and her daughter just now.

He originally thought that his son was very popular in Yancheng and several surrounding counties, and that the girls who came to the capital would also like his son's innocent, pure and easy to control appearance.

Unexpectedly, the girl my son likes is quite special. She actually likes the mature type...

but...

"That's not right. If she doesn't like you, can't you just reveal your identity and take her away by force and then let her fall in love with you over time? Why is Xiao Qiqi still..."

Before she finished her words, she saw her son's eyes that looked like he wanted to stab her. Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hands quickly, "Alright, alright, as long as you like it, as long as you like it. If she finds out that you are not an orphan and despises that you still have a father and a mother at home, mother will immediately take your father away and never get in her way. Is that ok?"

Rong Xian closed his eyes tiredly and rubbed his forehead, trying to dispel the depression in his heart.

The woman in front of him looked only in her early thirties, but in fact she was already close to her fifties. Because of her father's support, she acted casually and often rushed forward when her mind was hot...

Thinking of her identity over the years and the tragedy of her previous life...

Even though she was his biological mother, and even though he wanted to ease the relationship with her over the years, Rong Xian couldn't help but remind her, "Since you've sneaked in, just stay here and don't cause any trouble for me."

Mu Xiaoxiao protested unwillingly, "You little bastard, how much do you distrust your mother?"

Rong Xian twitched the corner of his mouth and gave a contemptuous smile as a response.

Because of her interference, all his previous efforts were in vain. If he still dared to trust her, he would not be named Fu! !

"I'm going back. You stay here and take good care of yourself. Ye Luan and Ye Ying are both in the dark. If you have anything to say, tell them."

After saying that, Rong Xian left without looking back.

"You little bastard, you actually dare to look down on your mother." Mu Xiaoxiao was so angry that her teeth were itching.

But on second thought, he was willing to keep the two night demons, "Yeluan and Nightingale", by her side to protect her, which showed that this rebellious son still valued her.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose in the direction where Rong Xian left, "Tsk, this hypocritical guy has learned everything from your father."

It seems that this daughter-in-law is not easy to kidnap.

For the sake of her son's lifelong event, she has to put in all her effort to help him deal with his mother-in-law.

...

The other end.

Rong Xian returned to the small side courtyard where he was temporarily staying.

He was calculating with an abacus.

In the dark, in order to find out gossip, Yi Fan was almost hanging on Yi Zhi.

"Change the flag, Yeluan Yeying, when did you prepare for it?"

Why didn't he get any news?

Yi Zhi leaned back with disgust on his face, trying to distance himself from Yi Fan.

"These people, Ye Luan and Ye Ying, are guarding the second house."

Yi Fan's face was filled with enlightenment, "No wonder I was able to switch people so quickly."

"However," Yi Fan still had some questions, "Since the master has already sent the people to Miss Su's place, why is he sending people back to protect her now..."

Yi Fan almost uttered the word "Princess" with a gulp.

"When did he become so serious about...that person?"

You know, in recent years, because of the princess's "casualness" and "misbehavior", the relationship between the prince and the princess has always been lukewarm. It is often the princess who comes to her with enthusiasm, and the prince does not dodge or respond...

The current situation of "loving mother and filial son" is really hard to understand.
