Hearing this, Wen Mohan glanced at Su Yujiao with some confusion, "How could he die? Didn't he take good care of his health when he left the capital?"

Chen Yuanzhan was injured when he left.

This might be the only one he could think of.

Su Yujiao's eyes became moist, and her voice choked as she said, "No, he said he was beaten to death. I have already told the emperor how he died."

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Wen Mohan did not force her, "Then what do you want to ask His Majesty? If it is because of financial difficulties, I can still help you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the entire room became unusually quiet.

No one spoke for a while, which made him very strange.

cough cough...

The emperor coughed twice and said, "She said she wanted me to grant her a marriage, so that she could take her son with her and marry again. That way she could have someone to rely on."

"Mother and son are now helpless and have no source of income. They will be bullied outside and will not have enough food or warm clothes."

Wen Mohan heard this and said with a look of sudden realization, "So it's a marriage proposal. I don't think what she's asking for is excessive. Life is indeed difficult for an orphan and a widow."

"If there is a suitable one in the capital, my royal brother can decide on her marriage. No matter what, she still has to find a trustworthy family."

Even though some unpleasant things had happened before, he knew that Su Yujiao was forced into doing so.

Although I feel a little uncomfortable, I will still respect her as before.

Now that I see her losing her husband at such a young age, I still feel very sympathetic.

The emperor opened his mouth to speak but hesitated, not knowing what to say. After a long while, he frowned and said, "She already has someone chosen, and she wants me to grant her marriage to you."

As soon as these words came out, Wen Mohan's face froze instantly.

What did he hear just now?

After a few breaths, he finally reacted, "Royal brother, are you kidding? She said she only treated me as a younger brother."

Although I said I didn't believe it, I was already feeling anxious.

Without waiting for the emperor to respond, Su Yujiao affirmed herself: "I'm not kidding, now I want to marry you. I originally said that you were my fiancée, but it's just back to square one."

"You and Jiang Mengli have already divorced, and you haven't married yet. But don't worry, I won't stop you from marrying a concubine or a maid."

As soon as the words fell, Wen Mohan retorted coldly, "Impossible, I can't marry you now. If you feel helpless, I can buy you a small house and buy you a servant."

"I will cover all expenses for you and your son. I will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your lives, and no one will bully you."

This is all I can do now. Marrying her is absolutely impossible.

Perhaps because he was too emotional, his voice was loud and cold.

Chen Ling was so scared that he threw himself into Su Yujiao's arms and burst into tears.

"Wow...Mother, he's so fierce and scary."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Su Yujiao said softly and gently to comfort him, "He just speaks loudly. From now on, you have to call him daddy."

The latter sentence was said very naturally and did not feel inappropriate at all.

Ever since Chen Yuanzhan's personality changed drastically, she had started to hate him. She hated not Chen Yuanzhan, but Wen Mohan...

The moment she found Chen Yuanzhan's body, her heart was completely filled with hatred.

Since he couldn't be happy, Wen Mohan didn't deserve happiness either.

Chen Ling pursed his lips and resisted for a long time, but finally said to Wen Mohan in a childish voice: "Dad... Daddy..."

"Don't yell." Wen Mohan immediately retorted, "I'm not your father, not now, and not in the future!"

After saying that, he strode out of the side hall, and the cold aura he exuded made the air a little colder.

The palace maids lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.

The emperor had a headache. He held his forehead and sighed, "Su Yujiao, you saw it too. I told you he wouldn't agree."

"You don't have to look for him to rely on. I can choose a suitable husband for you in this capital, the kind who will definitely treat you and your son well."

Su Yujiao was not persuaded and still insisted on her own idea, "Your Majesty, I will not trust any other man except him."

She then squatted down, touched Chen Ling's head with a gentle smile, and said softly: "Mother will take you to Prince Yu's Mansion. From now on, it will be our home."

After saying this, he knelt down, bowed, and left the side hall.

When he left the palace, Wen Mohan had already disappeared.

The mother and son walked towards the Prince of Yu's Mansion. When passing by the street, he stood at a certain place and watched the busy figures in the clinic from afar.

Chen Ling tilted his head and watched for a long time. When he looked up, he found that his mother had been staring at him without blinking, so he asked, "Mom, do you want to see a doctor?"

Su Yujiao retracted her gaze, smiled and said, "No, it's just that mother knows her. Let's go."

A quarter of an hour later, the mother and son arrived at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion.

The guards quickly recognized her. After all, she had lived in this mansion for some time and knew that Prince Yu treated her well.

Therefore, she did not stop him from entering, but let him in very respectfully.

When Butler Mo saw her, he was completely stunned and hurriedly said that he would go and report to the prince.

Su Yujiao arrived before he turned around: "Don't bother him. He said he knew I was coming. Please ask Butler Mo to have someone clean up the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard."

Hearing this, Butler Mo smiled faintly, "Even the courtyards where no one lives are regularly cleaned. Miss Su can go directly to the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard."

Hexiangyuan is still the same as before, clean and tidy everywhere.

You can tell that it is cleaned regularly.

Since no one lives here, there are no servants waiting on duty.

Chen Ling also became bolder, running around in the yard curiously and looking around.

I am also very curious about the flowers and plants.

"Wow, mom, look at this flower, it's so big and beautiful, hehe..." Chen Ling squatted happily in front of the peony, looking at it from side to side.

Su Yujiao warned: "Don't run out of the yard, otherwise it's easy to get lost."

The Prince of Yu’s Mansion is quite large, and a child who is not familiar with it would easily get lost if wandering around.

"Okay." Chen Ling responded and ran around happily chasing butterflies.

The entire Hexiangyuan was filled with his happy laughter.

Su Yujiao pushed open the bedroom door and a cool breeze hit her face.

Although it feels clean inside and has everything it needs, it is never inhabited and is not very popular.

At this time, Butler Mo came over with two maids, "Miss Su, these two are here to take care of your maids, Chunhua and Qiuyue."

"If you have any instructions, feel free to ask them. If you need anything, feel free to ask this old servant."

Su Yujiao glanced at the two maids and nodded calmly, "Okay, thank you for troubling Housekeeper Mo."

Looking at these two maids, my mind was filled with the hard days of the past.

At that time, she felt that she was not even as good as a maid.

After leaving Hexiang Courtyard, Butler Mo went directly to the study in Yatingyuan to find Wen Mohan.

At this moment, Wen Mohan's face was gloomy, his brows furrowed, "What do you want from me?"

Butler Mo bowed and said, "Your Highness, it's nothing serious. I've just arranged for two maids to serve Miss Su."

"I wonder if the master has anything else to buy for her? If so, please tell me and I will buy them one by one."
