Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Seeing the usually calm and steady prince being so flustered and disorganized in his actions, everyone in the courtyard sighed silently in their hearts.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will do my best to rescue Miss Su!"

The confidant named Zhao Yong said solemnly, and then immediately left in a hurry with the clerk from the Ministry of Personnel.

However, not long after, someone who followed Zhao Yong out came back with a panicked look on his face:

"My Lord, something terrible has happened! Brother Zhaoyong has been detained by the Duke!"

"Is father back?"

Xiao Guangyu frowned slightly.

"Yes, Brother Zhaoyong ran into the Duke as soon as he went out. The Duke said he wanted to question him, so he took Brother Zhaoyong to the main courtyard."

Xiao Guangyu immediately got up and went to the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke and Duchess of England were sitting in the main seat waiting for him, obviously having expected him to come.

The Duke of England stared at him with a gloomy face and snorted coldly:

"It's coming fast!"

Xiao Guangyu glanced at Zhao Yong who was kneeling in the hall, and said as calmly as possible:

"Father, Zhao Yong has important military duties to attend to. If you have anything to say, wait until he finishes his business and comes back."

The British public said sarcastically:

"I don't know, when did the important military task become finding a woman?"

Zhao Yong looked at Xiao Guangyu with shame:

"My Lord, the servant couldn't stand the fright and confessed everything."

Xiao Guangyu knew that he could no longer hide his true purpose from his father.

Every moment he wastes now may cause him to miss out on meeting Jing Yao.

He can't afford it.

He lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, begging:

"Father, I'm not asking you to help me find someone, I'm just asking you not to hinder me. Wait until I find the person first, okay?"

The Duke of England's expression became even colder:

"If you want to kneel, go kneel outside and let the cold wind wake your brain!"

"Don't do something ridiculous that will disregard your future just for a woman!"

It was only when he received a letter from home that he found out that his good son had actually offered a reward of 10,000 taels to find his ex-fiancée.

Isn't this a blatant slap in the face of the Lin family, our in-laws?

The Lin family sent someone to report him as a counterattack and a warning.

But he showed no sign of restraint or repentance. Even after being reprimanded by His Majesty and ordered to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion, he still refused to withdraw the bounty order.

He also told everyone in his family that if anyone withdrew his bounty order, he would resign directly to His Majesty.

This time, no one dared to act rashly anymore.

But because of this, the British prince became even more angry.

His son is both talented in literature and martial arts, and has always been the most outstanding among his peers since childhood.

He never had to worry about his studies or his future.

But ever since his fiancée disappeared, she has repeatedly disobeyed him and done all sorts of outrageous and foolish things.

Even though the Su family had given up on their daughter, he still insisted on continuing to look for her and even refused to go to work.

He had already been waiting for the girl from the Su family for three years, just waiting for her to reach the age of marriage so that he could marry her.

Now that person is gone and he is old, it is natural for him to get engaged again.

But he refused to agree no matter what, and said bluntly that if they decided on a marriage, he would cancel the other one, so that the Duke of England's mansion would not only fail to form an alliance but also make enemies.

They had no choice but to find a corpse to pretend to be the girl from the Su family.

In exchange for giving him the body of the girl from the Su family, he agreed to the engagement with the Lin family.

But even so, before he got engaged, he openly said in front of the elders of the Lin family that a hundred years later, he would not be buried in the Xiao family cemetery, but would be buried with his fiancée.

"If the elders of the Lin family and the young lady mind this matter, please reject the official matchmaking of the Xiao family."

This matter made Lord Lin very unhappy.

But in the end, she still couldn't bear to give up this good son-in-law, so she didn't argue with him, and the two families got engaged smoothly.

Life was going well originally, but since I learned from the Su family that the eldest daughter of the Su family was not dead and had returned to the capital.

His good son has gone crazy again!

All these things he had done made him ashamed to face his in-laws, the Lin family.

The Duke of England angrily slapped the table in front of him and said:

"Father, let me make this clear. The reputation of the Su family girl has been ruined. Even if she is to be a concubine of the lowest rank, I will never allow her to enter the house! Forget this idea!"

The girl from the Su family had a huge influence on him. He absolutely could not let his son bring her back to the Xiao family, so as to avoid a scandal of favoring a concubine over his wife in the future.

He originally thought that saying this would provoke a fierce resistance from his son.

Unexpectedly, his reaction was extremely calm:

"Father, Jingyao is such a proud woman, how could I let her be my concubine?"

These words made the Duke of England's heart skip a beat, and he almost jumped up:

"Do you still want to divorce your wife?"

Xiao Guangyu still looked at him calmly:

"Father, you are worrying too much. I will not divorce my wife. I will recognize Jingyao as my adopted sister, protect her from the wind and rain, and bless her to have no worries in the second half of her life."

"Other than that, my son has no other thoughts."

He had thought of this a long time ago.

From the moment he married his wife, he no longer deserved to have her.

Their relationship in this life was over, and the only thing he could do was to try his best to make her happy and worry-free in the second half of her life.

Such an attitude is indeed a bit strangely calm.

The Duke of England looked at his son with scrutiny, but was shocked to meet a pair of eyes that were as dead as dead wood.

It was like a pool of desperate ashes left after being burned by extreme pain.

He suddenly felt reluctant and guilty:

"Well, get your people to find her. Go quickly!"

He was filled with rage and immediately sent someone to the Imperial College to inform Su Jijiu.

He originally thought that with that person's character, he would definitely not allow his daughter, who had fallen into the mire, to live in this world anymore.

In this way, the Xiao family will no longer have any future troubles.

But now, seeing his son like this, he was a little afraid to do so.

It was only just now that he suddenly realized that after seven years, the stupidity in his son's heart had never changed.

He would rather go through life without love than let the girl suffer any injustice.

If something really happened to the girl from the Su family this time, his son would probably die of grief!

As eagerly as he had hoped that the girl from the Su family would be taken away by Su Jijiu, he now hoped that the people from the Su family would move more slowly.

But his hopes were ultimately dashed.

Just as Huiyun and others were about to board the carriage, they saw a carriage galloping towards them.

A thin, elegant middle-aged scholar got out of the car eagerly.

I haven't seen him for seven years, but he hasn't aged at all, and is still as sanctimonious as ever.

The moment he saw her, he felt disgusted as if he had seen something dirty.

He looked at her coldly and ordered his followers:

"What are you still standing there for? Tie this fugitive back to me immediately!"

Huiyun had long understood what a cold-hearted person her father was. Now she did not feel sad, but only full of irony.

Ridiculous, since he didn't even dare to acknowledge her identity as his daughter, why did he think he still had the power to "dispose of" her?
