The sound of water stopped and it was already late at night.

Meng Yunshang was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyelids, but after being carried back to bed by Lu Chenxiao, she still forced herself to open the secret cabinet beside the bed, took out the pills given by Fuling and swallowed them.

Lu Chenxiao happened to see it and reached out to take the porcelain bottle containing the pills, but she nimbly avoided it.

The man frowned slightly, "What does the baby eat?"

Meng Yunshang blurted out, "It helps with sleeping."

Lu Chenxiao was puzzled. He was already so sleepy, and still needed pills to help him sleep?

*

It was a new day. Meng Yunshang woke up with aches all over her body, but the father and son were no longer on the bed.

Dan Gui came in to help wash and groom, and excitedly told Meng Yunshang:

"Princess, there's news from the alley that Mu Yan went to the river to wash clothes last night and fell into the water and drowned. She was rescued by passers-by in the morning and her body was wrinkled."

Meng Yunshang paused, her fingers curled slightly.

She drowned in the middle of the night, so that’s why she had a nightmare about her past life last night?

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Meng Yunshang was in a good mood, and a lot of the resentment that had been pent up in her heart disappeared.

She told Dangui, "Prepare the car. I need to go back to the Prime Minister's residence."

It's time to meet her wonderful father.

Knowing that she was going back to her parents' home, Lu Chenxiao and Huai'an both asked to go with her before she left, and each had their own reasons.

Lu Chenxiao: "Of course you need your husband to accompany you when you go back to your parents' home, so that those blind people won't say that you are not welcomed by your in-laws."

Huai'an: "I am my mother's favorite baby and my mother's little tail. I will follow my mother wherever she goes."

After saying that, the little guy blinked at Meng Yunshang desperately to act cute, and called "Mom" in a long tone, which made Meng Yunshang's heart soften.

So she decided immediately, "Huai'an, please come with me. The prince has just taken over the Jingdong Camp and must have many things to do. I won't waste the prince's time."

"Wow, mom is so nice, I like mom the most."

Huai'an shouted happily, but Lu Chenxiao's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and continued to fight, "It doesn't matter if it's a day or a half. I can accompany you."

Huai'an was afraid that his position would be taken away, so he jumped up and down and said loudly, "It's worse."

"Ok?"

"Yesterday, my uncle told my father that you should tackle the tough issue of Jingdong Camp as soon as possible. He also said that the two camps should be a unified Jingwei Camp to the outside world, but there should be healthy competition internally."

Seeing his father's expression change, Huai An continued to finish off the enemy cheerfully, "Oh, father, go and do your work. It's enough for mother to have me by her side."

Lu Chenxiao: Haha, prevent fire, theft and my son!

Meng Yunshang laughed, stood on tiptoe to kiss his cheek and comforted him gently, "Just focus on your business, Huai'an and I will be waiting for you at home."

The depression in Lu Chenxiao's heart instantly dissipated. He put his arms around Meng Yunshang's waist and gave her a long kiss in return.

Meng Yunshang pushed him away in shame and anger, "Stop making trouble, An An is still here."

Lu Chenxiao snorted proudly, "You have to let him see that I am your man and he is just your son."

Huai'an covered his eyes and shouted mischievously, "Ah, my eyes are dirty, father, shame on me!"

"Pfft," Meng Yunshang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lu Chenxiao was also amused and tapped his forehead with his hand, "Be sure to protect your mother, do you hear me?"

Huai'an responded with a smile, "I know!"

Lu Chenxiao rode his horse to escort the mother and son all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He watched them enter the house before turning around and leaving the city to go to the Beijing Guard Camp.

Cheng did not wait for her daughter at the palace gate yesterday. Only Dangui came to deliver a message saying that the princess had some unfinished business and would leave the palace later.

Cheng didn't think much about it at the time, but now that she knew her daughter had returned home, she mistakenly thought that she came to settle the score with Meng Shuyao because she had indulged her yesterday, and she became extremely flustered.

"Shang'er, I was wrong about what happened yesterday. I already know I was wrong, and your eldest brother has warned me again and again. I will definitely not make such a mistake again in the future. Please don't be angry with me."

Meng Yunshang was stunned for a moment before she understood what she meant.

He said somewhat helplessly, "Mom, I don't mean to settle the score with you."

"So why are you back today?"

Meng Yunshang went straight to the point, "I want to go see Dad."

Cheng was a little surprised. "Although your father is no longer confused, his health has not yet recovered and he cannot be left alone. Shang'er, you are looking for him because..."

"Mu Yan passed away last night. I thought Dad must not know the news yet, so I came to tell him. Also, I missed him a lot after not seeing him for a long time."

She spoke seriously, and although her tone was a little shady, Cheng was a simple-minded person and didn't hear anything wrong.

Instead, I put all my attention on the first half.

"Mu Yan is gone? Are you serious?"

Meng Yunshang nodded, "The Shu family is poor and has an old mother who is paralyzed in bed. After Mu Yan passed away, she had endless housework to do every day and had to find ways to make money to supplement the family income. Last night, she went to the river to wash clothes and accidentally fell into the water and drowned."

Mr. Shu was specially selected by Lu Chenxiao.

Apart from a face and a clever mouth, there is nothing else to recommend him.

She and Mu Yan are a perfect match.

When Cheng heard the news of Mu Yan's death, she sighed with joy, "I finally hope that she will die a good death. This can also be regarded as a way to relieve the anger in my heart."

If other people heard this, they would certainly accuse Cheng of being narrow-minded and having a bad character.

But when Meng Yunshang heard it, it immediately resonated with her.

Isn’t it true that I finally got to die a good death? Compared with the evil deeds Mu Yan had done over the years, my mother was really too kind.

"Mom, please take care of Huai'an for me. I'll go tell Dad the good news."

Cheng happily waved her hand, "You go first, I'll go talk to him in the evening."

After saying this, the mother and daughter smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

In the dimly lit room, Meng Yunchuan lay quietly on the bed.

After not seeing him for a long time, he looked so thin that he almost lost his appearance. But Meng Jinyou had instructed that the servants cleaned the house very well.

Seeing Meng Yunshang coming, the servant bowed respectfully, "Good luck to the princess."

Meng Yunshang waved her hand and said, "Go and guard outside."

"Yes!"

When Meng Yunchuan saw Meng Yunshang approaching, he was stunned at first, and then shouted at the servant who was walking out, "Meng Fu, get her out!"

Meng Fu stopped and reminded Meng Yunchuan seriously, "Master, this is Princess Heng."

What I mean is, it’s not someone you can offend right now.

Although Meng Yunchuan's eyes were clear, the hostility in them was undisguised.

"I don't care if she's a princess or not. This is my house and my room. I don't want to see her. Get her out right now. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Meng Fu shook his head, "Sorry, Master, I can't do it."

"You are so bold that you don't even listen to me?"

Meng Yunchuan was so angry that he wanted to smash something, but there was nothing at the head of the bed except a cloth pillow.

He could only glare at Meng Fu with hatred, but Meng Fu still spoke honestly, "I am the Prime Minister's man. The Prime Minister only asked me to take care of your life and daily life, and did not ask me to obey your orders."

"You!" Meng Yunchuan's chest heaved with anger. He threw a pillow at Meng Fu, which was caught by Meng Yunshang.

"Tsk tsk, is this all Lord Meng is capable of now?"
