The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

At this moment, early in the morning, the Regent's Palace

Sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, gently pouring down onto the palace courtyard, gilding everything with a faint golden hue. Birds sang joyfully in the branches, as if cheering for the new day.

The servants in the mansion began to work hard, sweeping the yard and preparing meals. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) woke up from his sleep, and he gently got up and looked at Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) who was still sleeping beside him.

Today, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) is wearing clothes of the same color as Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li).

In Yun Mohan's (Nangong Han) study, the housekeeper hurried in to report, saying respectfully: "Your Majesty, the head of the Duanmu family wishes to see you.

In Yun Mohan's (Nangong Han's) study, the housekeeper hurried in and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the head of the Duanmu family wishes to see you."

Yun Mohan raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, "Master Duanmu? Why is he here at this time?"

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Please ask him to wait in the front hall. I will be there soon."

The housekeeper took the order and left. Yun Mohan straightened his clothes and walked towards the front hall with steady steps.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw the head of the Duanmu family pacing in the hall with an anxious look on his face.

"Master Duanmu, I'm honored to be here today. I wonder what important matter you have?" Yun Mohan asked straight to the point.

Patriarch Duanmu hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Prince Regent, I came here to confirm something.

The head of the Duanmu family quickly bowed and saluted, "Prince Regent, I came here to confirm something."

Yun Mohan looked calm and said calmly, "Master Duanmu, please feel free to speak.

Patriarch Duanmu raised his head slightly, exchanged glances with Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), and said in a rather dissatisfied tone, "I heard that my rebellious daughter who disappeared for five years has returned to the capital?"

Yun Mohan's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Duanmu, please be careful with your words. After all, she is the daughter of the Duanmu family. How can you be so disrespectful to her?

The head of the Duanmu family snorted coldly: "Prince Regent, this woman was shameless back then and did such a shameful thing, bringing shame to my Duanmu family. If she comes back now, I will not let her off easily."

A trace of anger flashed in Yun Mohan's eyes. "I will investigate the cause of what happened back then and give Li'er justice. Patriarch Duanmu, please don't make false statements here."

The Duanmu family head's face was gloomy: "Prince Regent, please don't be deceived by this witch. What injustice could she have suffered?"

Yun Mohan stepped forward, his aura pressing: "Master Duanmu, Li'er is your daughter, but you're calling her a witch.

The head of the Duanmu family was shocked by Yun Mohan's momentum, and his tone softened a little: "Prince Regent, I am also thinking about you and the palace. That rebellious girl is not worthy of you."

Yun Mohan glared at him and said sternly, "Master Duanmu, stop talking nonsense! In my heart, Li'er is the most precious person in the world. How can I allow you to slander her like this?"

The Duanmu family head's expression changed, but he still said with determination, "Prince Regent, don't let your emotions blind you. Xing Xuanli has no talent and can't cultivate. She will be of no help to your cause."

Yun Mohan sneered, "My great cause does not need to be accomplished by a woman. Besides, Li'er's kindness is beyond your comprehension."

The head of the Duanmu family frowned and said, "Prince Regent, why are you so stubborn? This rebellious girl will only bring you trouble."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) said in a cold tone: "Master Duanmu, over the years, I have been tolerant of you for Li'er's sake. It does not mean that you can interfere in my family affairs."

The head of the Duanmu family trembled, a trace of panic on his face: "Prince Regent, please calm down. I was wrong."

Yun Mohan stared at the Duanmu family head with a sharp gaze. "Hmph, you'd better remember what I said today. Li'er is my princess, and I will protect her. No one, including your Duanmu family, can harm her."

The head of the Duanmu family nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, Regent, don't worry, I will never dare to do it again."

Yun Mohan snorted coldly, "Get lost! Don't let me see you speaking nonsense in the palace again."

When the head of the Duanmu family turned around, he ran into Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) who was looking for Yun Mohan (Nangong Han). The two looked at each other in surprise.

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) held Xiao Muhan's hand. There was almost no emotion on her face.

Little Mu Han looked at this grandpa curiously, staring at his mother. He tugged at the corner of Xing Xuanli's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Mother, why is this grandpa looking at you so fiercely?"

Xing Xuanli gently touched Xiao Muhan's head and said, "Be good, baby, ignore him."

Little Mu Han refused to give in, blinking his big eyes, "Mom, is he a bad guy?"

The head of the Duanmu family glanced at Xiao Muhan, snorted coldly, and strode away with a flick of his sleeves!

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) heard the dissatisfaction of the head of the Duanmu family with his son. The head of the Duanmu family glanced at Xiao Mohan and snorted coldly: "Hmph!" He flicked his sleeves and strode away!

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) heard the dissatisfaction of the head of the Duanmu family towards his son, and his face instantly turned gloomy.

"How dare this Duanmu Jin look down on his son like this!" Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) said gritting his teeth, with anger flashing in his eyes.

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) frowned slightly, "Baby, he is not a bad person, it's just..." For a moment, she didn't know how to explain this complicated relationship to the child.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) squatted down and held little Mu Han in his arms, "Mu Han, don't be afraid. Daddy is here and won't let anyone bully you and your son."

Little Mu Han nodded, not quite understanding, "Well, with daddy here, Mu Han is not afraid."

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) looked at the father and son, and a warm feeling rose in her heart.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) glanced at Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) with a gentle expression, then lowered his head to look at the little Muhan in his arms and said, "The spiritual root test will be held in three months. I want little Muhan to participate."

When Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) heard Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) ask Xiao Muhan to test his spiritual roots, his face changed instantly, "No!

Little Mu Han tugged at the corner of Xing Xuanli's (Duanmu Li) clothes and said in a baby voice, "Mom, I want to go." Will you just let me go?

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Baby, it's not that mother doesn't allow you to test your spiritual roots, have you forgotten what the masters said?

Thinking of what the four masters said in the Ziyun Secret Realm, Xiao Muhan hesitated.

His brows furrowed, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. The four masters' solemn and serious words echoed in his mind, causing his once resolute heart to waver.

The child has a special physique, so you should hide your strength and not let anyone know.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) noticed his son's hesitation and said to Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li), "Li'er, it's just a spiritual root test. All children under the age of fourteen in the capital need to stay up all night to take the spiritual root test."

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) frowned and looked at little Mu Han worriedly, "Even so, I'm still worried that Mu Han will get hurt."

Yun Mohan gently held Xing Xuanli's hand, "Li'er, I understand your concerns, but for Mu Han, this may be an opportunity to change his fate.

Xing Xuanli bit her lip, "But what if..."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) interrupted her, "Nothing will happen. I will send people to protect Mu Han and will never let him get into any trouble."

Xing Xuanli remained silent, her eyes never leaving Xiao Muhan.

Little Mu Han pulled the corner of Xing Xuanli's (Duanmu Li) clothes and said coquettishly: "Mother, just promise me!

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) sighed and said to Xiao Muhan earnestly, "Baby, remember. You must hide the level of your spiritual roots. Got it?"

Little Mu Han nodded obediently, "Yes! I understand, mother."
