"I have met Miss Xueyun once, and she doesn't look like such a vicious person. Could there be a misunderstanding?"

Mu Yan deliberately spoke lightly, wanting to see whether Dan Qiu would agree with her statement.

But she didn't expect Danqiu to look at her as if she was an idiot.

"How could there be any misunderstanding? Our princess saw it with her own eyes. And the prince has reached an age where he is sensible and polite. He has remembered all of Meng Xueyun's evil deeds."

"Then Miss Xueyun is now..."

"After all, they are good friends. The princess has someone send her back to Xinyang. As long as she behaves herself, she will not be treated unfairly when she returns to Xinyang."

"Who knew she was so stupid that she actually ran away halfway. The princess was furious and sent half of the palace guards to look for her. The princess said that as long as she found Meng Xueyun, she would settle all the old and new accounts with her."

Mu Yan's heart trembled, her steps became unsteady, and she almost fell down.

Danqiu looked at her thoughtfully, "Aunt Mu, are you okay?"

"No, it's okay."

"You are the aunt that Madam relies on the most. You must be different from Miss Xueyun. Just stay in the palace with peace of mind."

Mu Yan nodded in agreement, but the uneasiness in her heart became more and more obvious.

She thought that she had to find a way to tell Meng Yunchuan about the situation.

He was told to find Xueyun before the guards of Prince Heng's mansion and protect her.

Otherwise, if Xueyun is found by the people from Prince Heng’s Mansion, her life will be in danger.

In the evening, Meng Yunshang asked someone to invite Mu Yan.

He showed Mu Yan the places where she was burned and asked her to prepare a prescription for treatment as soon as possible so as not to delay the old lady's birthday in a few days.

Feeling the urgency in her words, Mu Yan promised to prepare the herbs before nightfall.

Meng Yunshang seemed very happy and asked Danqiu to give her a set of jeweled headwear.

Mu Yan's heart finally settled down.

It seems that the previous Chen Cha incident was just a deliberate attempt by Meng Yunshang to intimidate her.

Seeing that she could stand firm, Meng Yunshang didn't dare to bully her anymore, and started to praise her instead.

Mu Yan was happy to see such changes.

She happily returned to Fenghua Courtyard, and the maid stepped forward to report, "Aunt, the food is ready. Do you want it served right away?"

"pass!"

The girl nodded and turned to make arrangements.

When Mu Yan saw the eight dishes and one soup on the table, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

She asked the girl, "Are you sure this is all prepared for me alone?"

"It's prepared for you. Sister Danqiu said that you are the princess's distinguished guest and must be arranged according to the highest standards."

Mu Yan was surprised and happy.

The fear he had towards Meng Yunshang before coming here disappeared without a trace.

He is just a brainless idiot and a fool. Even if he gives birth to a son, he will still be born stupid.

When their plan succeeds, both Meng Yunshang and the Cheng mother and son will only be their stepping stones.

"Please sit down and eat with us," Mu Yan waved gently at the two girls.

The girl shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, no."

Mu Yan demanded in a strong manner, "Since I am the master of Fenghua Courtyard now, you must listen to me."

The two girls looked at each other, then sat down carefully at the table.

"That's right. I can't finish all these dishes by myself. You guys eat with me, and do me a favor after you finish."

The two girls answered in unison, "We all listen to our aunt."

Mu Yan expressed great satisfaction.

Qingfengyuan at about the same time.

Lu Chenxiao sat at the table, looking at the delicious food on the table, but he had no appetite.

Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks, Lu Ming asked cautiously, "May I ask, Your Majesty, are the dishes tonight not to your liking?"

Lu Chenxiao asked him expressionlessly, "Over at Anranju..."

"The prince has been catching crickets all day today. He has been very active and will get hungry quickly. The princess has already started dinner."

In other words, the mother and son never thought of him as a living person at all.

Ah!

"Playing with things makes you lose your mind!"

Before Lu Ming could figure out who the phrase "wanton ruins one's ambition" was referring to, he saw his own prince standing up and walking out.

"Hey, Your Majesty, you haven't had dinner yet, where are you going?"

After a long time, three words came from afar, "Anranju!"

Lu Ming: "???"

Your Highness, is it really okay for us to rush forward like this?

"Mom, today I learned that there are so many different kinds of crickets. And each one of them looks different, it's so magical."

In Anranjuli, Huai'an was chattering while scooping rice with a porcelain spoon.

Meng Yunshang did not stop him and let him talk. She even responded promptly when his beautiful big eyes looked at her.

This also made the little guy even more excited, and he wanted to tell his mother in detail everything that happened today.

When the mother and son were having a great time, a familiar tall figure appeared at the door.

Huai'an was startled and asked Meng Yunshang blankly, "Mother, am I dazzled? Why did I see my father again?"

Lu Chenxiao paused and subconsciously looked at the gentle and quiet figure.

She stroked Huai'an's head and said, "An'er, you're not dreaming. It's your father who's here."

At least he wasn't chased away immediately, and Lu Chenxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, Huai'an's undisguised disgust made his face instantly darken.

Huai'an said, "Oh, why is father here again? Wasn't it good for us to eat our own food as before? You always snatch my mother from me. Father is bad."

Lu Chenxiao gritted his teeth, "Lu Youlin, have you forgotten that I am the master of this palace? Everything you eat, use, and wear belongs to me."

Huai'an put down the spoon, and asked unhappily with a stern face, "Does father want to settle accounts with us mother and son now?"

Without waiting for Lu Chenxiao to speak, he climbed onto the stool, put his hands on his waist and accused fiercely, "Father means that mother and I are dependent on you for support?"

"Humph, at worst my mother and I can stop living in the palace and go to a place where my father is not around. That way, no one will bother me and my mother while we eat."

"Anyway, my uncle and grandmother have given me a lot of valuable things over the years. Even if my father is not here, I will not let my mother starve to death."

Meng Yunshang added quietly, "Mom still has a lot of profitable shops under her name, so she won't starve."

When Huai'an heard this, he immediately added happily, "So, father, do you want to divorce mother? Let's make it clear first. If you want to divorce, I will go with mother."

Lu Chenxiao was so angry at the mother and son that his face turned blue. He gritted his teeth and questioned Huai'an, "Are you strong now?"

Not only did he dare to talk back to him, but he also dared to instigate his mother to divorce. Who gave this bastard the courage?

Is it because he has been too lenient recently, giving the brat the illusion that he is easy to mess with?

If he had been questioned like this before, Huai'an would have definitely slipped away.

But now, he is protected by his mother!

He also wanted to verify one thing.

Therefore, he responded confidently, "It is obviously my father who has gone too far, always claiming that the palace is yours, making me and my mother feel like outsiders."

"In that case, let's let our father live alone."

Lu Chenxiao explained with a serious face, "I didn't say you were outsiders, nor did I want to be alone at home."

His gaze passed over Huai'an and looked at Meng Yunshang who was still sitting quietly, and a flash of pain passed through his eyes.

From the beginning, all he wanted was a home with her.

Without her, home is no longer home.
