After the waiter finished pouring the wine and left, Ye Xiuying said, "Chuyi, this is too much. How can we finish it?"

"Let's taste these delicacies. There's no need to finish them all. It wouldn't be worth it if you upset your stomach." Mo Jinghong said with a smile.

Wen Qingcheng couldn't help but start eating. "I have to try it. This is my first time here."

The family went out with full bellies, and Ah Falcon and the other shadow guards had finished their meals long ago and went to wait in the carriage. Coincidentally, Wen Qingcheng and her group ran into Princess Pingning and a few noble ladies as soon as they came downstairs.

"Jinghong, Qingcheng? We are really destined to meet here." Princess Pingning walked over and said.

Although Mo Jinghong is her cousin, Mo Jinghong is now favored by the emperor. Princess Pingning has always admired the strong, and now she is very enthusiastic when she sees Mo Jinghong.

"Cousin." Mo Jinghong bowed and said calmly.

Wen Qingcheng suspected that Princess Pingning had sent someone to kill her family, so when she saw her, she couldn't hide her hatred. However, before she was sure it was her, Wen Qingcheng had to maintain a friendly attitude with her on the surface. "Hello, Princess." Wen Qingcheng said calmly.

Princess Pingning smiled, then looked at Ye Xiuying and Zicheng who were holding the child, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. "This must be your mother, right?"

Wen Qingcheng was about to deny it when Princess Pingning said, "I think her eyes and eyebrows are exactly the same as Qingcheng's. Both mother and daughter are beauties." Princess Pingning stared at Ye Xiuying. She thought Wen Liang's original wife was a rustic country woman, but when she saw her today, she realized that she was so beautiful. She was wearing a low-key and luxurious dress, clean makeup, and behaved in an intellectual and generous manner. She looked younger than her.

Ye Xiuying responded with a smile, "Madam, you are too kind, Qingcheng, this is..."

Wen Qingcheng had no choice but to introduce: "This is Princess Pingning."

When Ye Xiuying heard that it was the princess, she thought she was Mo Jinghong's relative and didn't know how to greet her, but she greeted her in her own sincere way.

Princess Pingning's eyes fell on Zicheng: "This young master must be Qingcheng's younger brother."

Ye Xiuying agreed. Princess Pingning had a smile on her face the whole time. She looked at Wen Yuxue in Ye Xiuying's arms and said with a smile, "This girl is so pretty. Is she your daughter? How old is she?"

"Yes, this is my little daughter, she is one year old this year." Ye Xiuying chatted with Princess Pingning as if she were an ordinary woman.

Wen Qingcheng didn't want Ye Xiuying to talk to her, so she said hurriedly, "The carriage is still waiting outside, let's not delay the princess, let's go."

Princess Pingning said, "Qingcheng, since our family is here, why don't you bring them home to sit down? The old lady is looking forward to seeing you."

Mo Jinghong evaded a few questions, said goodbye to Wen Qingcheng and got on the carriage. When he got home, Wen Qingcheng told Ye Xiuying about the true identity of Princess Pingning. "Mom, do you know who Princess Pingning is? You even chatted with her."

Ye Xiuying looked over blankly, "What's wrong? Isn't she Jinghong's cousin?"

Mo Jinghong sat on the chair and said, "She is my cousin, but she is also the wife that Uncle Wen married."

Ye Xiuying's pupils trembled instantly, "What? She is the noble lady your father married? Then she..."

"She knows that you are my father's original wife and that I have been included in the family tree of the Marquis's Mansion. She sees that you are my mother."

"Ah? Is it such a coincidence? What should I do? She must not think that I am here for your father. I hope I will not bring any trouble to your father."

Wen Qingcheng and Mo Jinghong looked at each other. They were not worried about causing any trouble to Wen Liang. They were worried about the safety of Ye Xiuying and the others.

"Mom, don't think too much. I'm telling you this so that you know that although she looks so kind on the surface, she's very deceitful."

"Mom, when I came here this time, I didn't intend to look for your father. Since he has already started a new family, we will not disturb him. We will live our own lives."

"Well, this house was bought by my father. He knows this place and comes here often. He doesn't know you're coming yet, but I'll find a chance to tell him what you mean."

Wen Liang still didn't know that his family had been assassinated and the house had been burned down. Now the whole family had come to Kyoto. If she saw Wen Liang again, she would tell him what Ye Xiuying meant. But it was hard for Ye Xiuying. She missed her husband very much, but she didn't want to see him for the sake of Wen Liang's family happiness.

However, before Wen Qingcheng could tell Wen Liang, Princess Pingning told him. Princess Pingning returned to the Marquis's residence with a gloomy face. The servants could see that she was in a bad mood. They dared not breathe and acted very cautiously. When Wen Liang came back, a servant immediately came forward and said, "My Lord, the Madam wants to see you."

Wen Liang was in a good mood after just returning from meeting a good friend. However, when he heard that Princess Pingning was looking for him, his mood instantly dropped. Although he had been married to Princess Pingning for such a long time, every time he saw her he still felt like he was meeting his boss.

Wen Liang came to Princess Pingning's room and asked in a gentle voice, "Madam, what is the important matter that you want to see me about?"

"You all go down first." Princess Pingning dismissed the maids and old women in the room, leaving only her and Wen Liang in the room.

"My Lord, why can't I ask you to come over and reminisce about the past when nothing else matters?"

"Madam, what are you talking about? If you want to reminisce about the past, your husband is always here to accompany you." Wen Liang walked over, put his hand on Princess Pingning's shoulder and said with a smile.

Princess Pingning sat upright on the chair and looked at Wen Liang with a squint. "Aren't you going to accompany your country girl?"

Wen Liang's body stiffened, and he said unhappily, "Madam, what are you talking about? Qingcheng is my daughter, and now His Majesty has made it clear that she will be included in the Ye family tree. If Madam doesn't like my daughter, I am also from the countryside. If Madam doesn't like us country people, you don't have to stay in the Marquis' Mansion. Be careful not to dirty yourself."

Wen Liang thought Princess Pingning was talking about Wen Qingcheng. It didn't matter what Princess Pingning said to him except that she couldn't talk about his daughter.

Princess Pingning was even more angry when she saw Wen Liang protecting Wen Qingcheng. "Okay, Ye Liang, you want to drive me away so that you can move your family in, right? So this is your plan, hoping that I will die. I will take Qian'er back to the princess's mansion now!"

Princess Pingning stood up to leave, but Wen Liang stopped her, "Madam, what are you doing? Who wants you to die? Although Qingcheng has returned to her ancestral home and doesn't live in the mansion, why are you unhappy? You knew I had a wife and children."

"I know you have a wife and children, and they all live in the countryside. I thought you would cut ties with that family after you came to Kyoto and became a marquis, but who knew you would say one thing in front of me and another behind my back, doing things that are shameful to others!"

Wen Liang was furious and raised his hand. Princess Pingning was not afraid at all. She looked up at Wen Liang with her eyes wide open. "Go ahead and hit me. Do you dare to hit me?"

Wen Liang was so angry that his hands were shaking. When he came back, he was scolded for no reason and falsely accused of doing shameful things.

"You are a royal relative, a precious child, so I won't hit you. But you have to be reasonable, so tell me what shameful things I have done!"
