Chen Yu's expression changed instantly, and dark lines appeared on his forehead. He shut his mouth obediently, as if he had been cast under a spell.

Indeed, if the prince rashly went to question the princess at this moment, he would simply be asking for trouble and suffering! And given the princess's personality, she would certainly not reveal the truth to the prince. It seems that this prince has some self-awareness.

Yun Muheng had just returned to the palace and had not had time to catch his breath when Empress Lan sent someone to the palace to deliver a message, asking the couple to bring their two little ones to the palace for lunch.

Yun Muheng was overjoyed when he heard the news. He had been worried about not being able to find a suitable excuse to approach Ye Chuxue, but he didn't expect that God would help him. It was like someone had delivered a pillow when he was dozing off! Yun Muheng couldn't wait to take big steps and hurriedly ran towards the courtyard where Ye Chuxue lived.

After a while, he arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Looking up, he saw a brand new plaque hanging high above the gate, with the three characters "Ye Laixiang" written on it in a flamboyant style. Seeing this plaque, Yun Muheng couldn't help but twitch his lips a few times, and secretly criticized Ye Chuxue in his heart. He suddenly remembered the first time he went to the villa. At that time, Ye Xiaoyuan said that they lived in Ye Laixiang, but he didn't see the plaque at that time! Could it be that it was hung up later? Thinking of this, Yun Muheng shook his head, sighed softly, and then stepped into the yard.

Yun Muheng slowly walked into the courtyard, his face filled with confusion. He saw sunlight streaming down the courtyard. Ye Chuxue was sitting upright on a stone bench, patiently teaching two little ones to read and write. Her face was as serene as water, and a gentle breeze ruffled a few strands of her hair. The scene was so breathtakingly beautiful that Yun Muheng was stunned for a moment.

Ye Xiaoyuan, who always refused to study, was looking around boredly. At this moment, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Yun Muheng standing at the door, and her eyes lit up instantly.

As if she had discovered a new world, she threw the book in her hand on the table beside her without hesitation and shouted excitedly, "Daddy!" Then she jumped down from the stool like a happy little rabbit, and ran towards Yun Muheng at the fastest speed with her short legs.

Yun Muheng smiled, his eyes gently gazing at Ye Xiaoyuan as she ran towards him. At that moment, he felt as if his heart was enveloped by a warm current, instantly melting into a pool of water.

So he squatted down slightly, opened his arms and made a welcoming gesture, his eyes full of love and care for his daughter.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiaoyuan threw herself into Yun Muheng's arms. Yun Muheng picked her up, dotingly touched her cute little nose, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Do you miss your daddy?"

Ye Xiaoyuan nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice, and said in a baby voice, "Of course I do. I miss you so much that my heart is crying."

Hearing his daughter's thoughtful words, Yun Muheng was filled with emotion and joy. He hugged Ye Xiaoyuan tightly and continued, "Daddy misses our little Yuanzi too. Today, grandma, who lives in the palace, said she wants little Yuanzi to accompany her to lunch. I wonder if little Yuanzi is willing to go?"

Ye Xiaoyuan blinked her bright big eyes, tilted her round little head, and thought with a puzzled look on her face: "Oh my, I wonder if I will meet that terrible vicious old woman this time? And there is also a wicked old witch who always makes trouble for my mother and wants to bully her! Humph!" Thinking of this, she pouted her pink little mouth angrily and said in a baby voice.

Yun Muheng, standing nearby, couldn't help but recall the events of the last time he brought the two little ones to the palace. Those experiences must have left a deep impression on the young children, and a flicker of heartache flashed across his eyes.

Yun Muheng gently stroked Ye Xiaoyuan's soft hair and said in a very gentle voice, "Be good, Xiaoyuanzi, don't worry. This time, Daddy will definitely stay by your side and won't leave you for a moment to protect you. I will never let any evil mother-in-law show up to scare my babies again, okay?"

After hearing Daddy's assurance, Ye Xiaoyuan's adorable, wrinkled face instantly blossomed into a huge, radiant smile. She nodded happily and said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, great! Then I believe Daddy. Let's go visit Grandma."

Then, she quietly put her little head close to his ear and continued in a low, mysterious voice, "Daddy, to be honest, if you don't leave soon, Mom will take me back to school. Xiao Yuanzi hates studying the most. It's so boring that there's no point in studying!"

At this moment, Ye Chuxue gracefully approached, holding Ye Xiaotuan's hand. A hint of displeasure deliberately flashed across her beautiful face: "Xiao Yuanzi, what bad things are you saying about me behind my back again?"

When Xiao Yuanzi heard the voice, she looked up and saw Ye Chuxue standing in front of her. She immediately looked a little embarrassed. She smiled sheepishly and replied in a baby voice, "Mom, Xiao Yuanzi didn't say anything bad about you! Xiao Yuanzi was just telling Daddy that Mommy is the most beautiful person in the world!"

Ye Chuxue couldn't help but smile dotingly after hearing her daughter's words. She reached out her delicate hand and gently pinched Xiao Yuanzi's nose, saying softly, "Oh, our Xiao Yuanzi has the sweetest mouth. She really knows how to make her mother happy!"

Yun Muheng, who was standing aside, quietly watched the warm interaction between Ye Chuxue and her daughter, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.

Then, he turned to look at Ye Chuxue and said softly, "Xue'er, Xiao Yuanzi is still young and doesn't seem to be very interested in studying. Let's not push her too hard and let her have a happy and carefree childhood. After all, girls don't need to study for fame and fortune."

However, Ye Chuxue glanced at Yun Muheng disapprovingly and retorted, "Humph, who says women don't need to study? Although they don't have to pursue fame and fortune like men, they still have to be well-educated and well-mannered, right? Otherwise, who would dare to marry her when she grows up?"

Yun Muheng snorted coldly, "Hmph! How could my daughter have trouble finding a husband? By then, even if they want to marry my daughter, I might not even agree! But this little bastard really needs to study harder and learn diligently. If he becomes a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and disgraces me, I will definitely break his legs!"
