The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), who had been playing outside with Xiao Muhan for the whole day, finally returned home.

As soon as he stepped into the mansion, the housekeeper came to greet him hurriedly, "Your Highness, you are finally back. There are several guests in the mansion who are waiting for you."

Yun Mohan frowned slightly, "Who?"

The housekeeper replied, "It's Lingxiao Sect's senior disciple Lin Yu, and Miss Luo and others."

Yun Mohan was stunned. "They? What are they doing?"

The butler shook his head, "I don't know. The princess is entertaining them in the main hall."

Yun Mohan nodded, "I understand." Then he walked towards the main hall.

The atmosphere in the main hall was still tense. Luo Lingshan was facing Xing Xuanli with anger. Seeing Yun Mohan come in, Luo Lingshan immediately greeted him, "Brother, you're finally back."

Yun Mohan glanced at her and asked, "What happened?"

Lin Yu saw Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) coming forward and bowed and said: "Nangong Junior Brother, you are finally back.

Yun Mohan looked at Lin Yu and asked, "I don't know why you, the eldest disciple of Lingxiao Sect, came here this time?"

Before Lin Yu could speak, Luo Lingshan said shyly: "Father asked me to ask you, when will our marriage be put on the agenda."

Nangong Han frowned upon hearing this, a hint of impatience on his face: "Luo Lingshan, don't talk nonsense, how can I get married to you?"

The shyness on Luo Lingshan's face froze instantly, turning into anger: "Brother, how can you be so heartless? Father has long intended for us to get married. This is no secret within the sect."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) looked serious and said in a deep voice: "When this king marries a wife, he should follow his heart and not let others manipulate him."

Luo Lingshan's eyes were red, and her voice was filled with tears: "Brother, I have always been devoted to you. I have paid so much for you. How could you treat me like this?

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) stroked Xing Xuanli's (Duanmu Li) hair, his eyes filled with indescribable tenderness. However, the words he spoke pierced Luo Lingshan's heart deeply: "Luo Lingshan, your devotion is just a burden to me. This king has never asked you to pay anything. All this is just wishful thinking on your part."

Luo Lingshan's body trembled violently, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. "Wishful thinking? Senior Brother, in your heart, everything I did was just wishful thinking?"

Nangong Han had no expression on his face and said coldly, "That's right. From the beginning to the end, this king only has Li'er in his heart and no room for others. Everything you have done is meaningless in this king's eyes."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) sneered in his heart, "Luo Lingshan, Lingxiao Sect, Siming. Living again, I will no longer follow the script you have arranged."

His eyes revealed determination and resoluteness, as if he wanted to completely break with everything in the past.

Thinking back to his past life, he had gone through tribulations. Sima Ming's storybook stated that he and Luo Lingshan were a couple, and Duanmu Li was merely his emotional tribulation. The storybook stated that he wanted to make Duanmu Li fall completely in love with him, and then hurt her severely.

It was a time filled with conspiracy and pain. He was drawn by the threads of fate, falling step by step into the trap set by Sima Ming. Luo Lingshan, the woman designated by the storybook to accompany him, never stirred a ripple in his heart.

Duanmu Li's appearance was like a ray of light shining into his dark world. Her gentleness, kindness, and determination made him fall in love with her. Although he knew it was a love affair, he could not control his emotions.

Following the script's instructions, he deliberately approached Duanmu Li, using false tenderness and care to gain her true love. When she fell in love with him wholeheartedly, he was determined to hurt her. Every cold word, every ruthless action, was like a knife stabbing her heart.

He clearly remembered Duanmu Li's heartbroken eyes, her desperate crying, and the way she gradually lost her vitality. But at that time, he was bound by the storybook and manipulated by the so-called fate.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) looked stern and his gaze was as sharp as a torch. He said to Luo Lingshan, "Miss Luo, this prince has no connection with the Lingxiao Sect anymore. Please tell Sect Master Luo that this prince's marriage is not something that his small Lingxiao Sect can control."

Luo Lingshan's face turned pale upon hearing this. Her lips trembled, and her eyes were filled with disbelief and anger. "Your Highness, how could you say such heartless words? The Lingxiao Sect has been kind to you before, and now the Sect Leader is only concerned about your marriage, yet you are so ruthless."

Nangong Han snorted coldly, "Favor? How can the grievances and injustices I suffered in the Lingxiao Sect be compensated by that so-called favor? Don't mention the past anymore. I don't want to have anything to do with the Lingxiao Sect anymore."

Tears welled up in Luo Lingshan's eyes. "Your Highness, even if you don't care about the Lingxiao Sect, don't you care about me too? Don't you really understand my feelings for you?"

Nangong Han frowned and said impatiently, "Miss Luo, please respect yourself. I already have someone I love, and there is absolutely no possibility for me to be with you. You'd better go back quickly and don't bother here."

Luo Lingshan trembled and almost collapsed as she shouted, "Prince, you will regret this!" After that, she covered her face, turned around, and staggered away.

Nangong Han looked at her back, without any pity or hesitation in his eyes, and secretly vowed in his heart that in this life, he must protect the people he really cares about and never let anyone manipulate him again.

But she met Xiao Muhan. Luo Lingshan saw that Xiao Muhan had the same eye color as Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li), and she couldn't help feeling jealous and resentful in her heart.

She stared at Xiao Muhan, her eyes filled with complicated emotions. Xiao Muhan shrank back in fear at her gaze, his little face full of vigilance.

Luo Lingshan bit her lip and muttered to herself: "It's these eyes again. How can she have all this?"

Xiao Muhan said timidly, "Who are you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Luo Lingshan sneered: "Humph, you are just the child of that bitch."

Although little Mu Han was young, he could sense the other party's malice, "Don't you dare say bad things about my mother!"

Luo Lingshan squatted down and approached Xiao Muhan, "You little bastard, you are as annoying as your mother."

Little Muhan's face showed an expression that Yun Mohan and Xing Xuanli had never seen before. He stared at Luo Lingshan with cold eyes and said one sentence at a time: "Auntie, what are you talking about?"

Luo Lingshan was startled by Xiao Muhan's sudden cold gaze and questioning, but she quickly recovered and said angrily, "Little brat, how dare you talk to me like that!"

Little Mu Han was not afraid at all. He stood up straight with his small body and continued, "Auntie, you are not allowed to insult my mother!" Although his voice was childish, it was firm and unquestionable.

Luo Lingshan was so angry that her face turned blue, "You ungrateful little brat, I must teach you a lesson today!" As she said that, she raised her hand and was about to hit Xiao Muhan.

At this moment, Yun Mohan and Xing Xuanli rushed over. Yun Mohan shouted angrily: "Luo Lingshan, how dare you touch my son!"

Luo Lingshan's hand froze in mid-air, a trace of panic on her face.

Xing Xuanli quickly held little Mu Han in her arms and asked distressedly, "Mu Han, was I scared?"

Xiao Muhan shook his head and continued to stare at Luo Lingshan coldly.

Yun Mohan stepped forward and said to Luo Lingshan, "Luo Lingshan, it seems that I have been too kind to you before. From now on, if you dare to appear in the palace again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Luo Lingshan bit her lip and said unwillingly, "Prince, you actually treated me like this for this mother and son..."

Yun Mo snorted coldly, "My patience has run out. Get out!"

Luo Lingshan left with hatred. Yun Mohan looked at Xiao Muhan with surprise and relief in his eyes. He didn't expect his son to have such a strong side.

Luo Lingshan glared at Xing Xuanli angrily and said through gritted teeth, "Duanmu Li, I won't let you go."

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) ignored Luo Lingshan's warning. She met Luo Lingshan's gaze and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for you.

Luo Lingshan left angrily, and Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) turned to Lin Yu and said, "What are you doing here today?"

Lin Yu bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I came here this time because the headmaster asked me to tell you that the Lingxiao Sect will hold a grand ceremony next month. I hope you can take the time to attend."

Nangong Han frowned slightly, his expression cold: "This king has no connection with the Lingxiao Sect anymore, what does this ceremony have to do with me?"

Lin Yu looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the headmaster specifically told me that this ceremony is of great importance. I hope you can remember our old friendship."

Nangong Han sneered, "Old friendship? Has the Lingxiao Sect ever considered the old friendship between us and this prince?"

Lin Yu hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, there may have been some misunderstandings in the past. The headmaster sincerely hopes that you can be present this time to resolve the rift."

Nangong Han was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I understand. You can go back first. I will consider it myself."

Lin Yu bowed and said, "Then I'll take my leave. I hope Your Highness will think twice." After that, he turned and left.

Nangong Han looked at Lin Yu's receding back and fell into deep thought.
