Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

Luoyunlou

Mu Jinchen was drinking tea.

Yingfeng pushed open the door and walked in, smiling broadly and looking very happy, "Your Highness."

"How about it?" Mu Jinchen thought it was unlikely, but he couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Your Highness's guess was indeed correct. That little girl is indeed the Princess. She was born in December and is now four years and two months old. According to the timeline, she is indeed Your Highness's child."

Mu Jinchen was overjoyed and ecstatic. "Let's go find them!" he said, and then he couldn't wait to go out.

Shadow Wind quickly followed.

苏宅

Inside the house, Su Qianrou, Su Xiaoxiao, and Liu Chengjun were having their meal.

Liu Chengyun picked up a piece of meat that Su Xiaoxiao loved and put it in her bowl.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu."

"What else would you like to eat, Xiaoxiao? Uncle will get it for you."

"meatball".

"it is good".

Liu Chengyun picked up another meatball for her.

"Xiaoxiao, Uncle Liu is a guest. How can you let a guest take care of you? Help yourself to what you want to eat. If you can't reach it, tell your mother and she will help you. Don't always bother Uncle Liu."

Liu Chengyun felt a sense of inexplicable loss, but he did not show it.

"Uncle Liu won't mind, right, Uncle Liu?"

"right".

"Just keep indulging her," Su Qianrou said helplessly.

Liu Chengjun looked at Su Xiaoxiao, the two exchanged glances, and then smiled.

Just then, Mu Jinchen swaggered in.

Li An said helplessly, "Madam, the Prince insisted on coming in, and I really couldn't stop him."

"It's alright, you can go down now."

“Yes,” Li An quickly withdrew.

Liu Chengyun stood up and said, "Greetings, Your Highness," then asked, "Why has Your Highness come?"

"What? Lord Liu can come, but I can't?"

"That's not what I meant."

Su Qianrou said unhurriedly, "Chengjun was invited by me. The Regent has come uninvited and even forced his way into a private residence. I wonder what brings you here?"

Mu Jinchen was consumed by jealousy. He walked over and sat down next to her, saying matter-of-factly, "I'll have my meal."

"Is there nothing for you to eat at Luoyunlou?"

"Not to my liking".

"You can send someone out to buy some. There are so many delicious foods in Liangzhou, there's bound to be something to your liking."

"no".

"Then you should go back to the capital."

"Will you come back with me?" Mu Jinchen asked, looking at her expectantly.

"What relationship do we have? Why should I go back with you?"

"What do you think?" Mu Jinchen glanced at Su Xiao and then leaned closer to say, "The child's mother."

Su Qianrou wasn't surprised that he knew about this, so she didn't deny it and said calmly, "So what?"

They appeared to be arguing, but in reality they were flirting, at least that's how Liu Chengyun saw it, which made him feel a pang of bitterness.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at them curiously.

"Anyway, I'll be wherever you are... Chunzhu, bring me a bowl and chopsticks," Mu Jinchen said shamelessly.

Chunzhu looked at Su Qianrou, waiting for her instructions.

"If you want to eat, go somewhere else; there's no food for you here."

"I'm so hungry I can't even walk," Mu Jinchen said pitifully.

"Yingfeng, didn't you hear what your prince said? Hurry up and carry him back, or he'll faint from hunger."

"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for your subordinate."

“You’ve got the wrong title, Shadow Guard. Qian Rou and the Prince divorced five years ago. Your way of addressing her is probably inappropriate,” Liu Chengyun said.

“Oh, my lord said that he will only have one wife in his life, so there is no need to change it unless the princess remarries. But as far as I know, the princess does not have a husband now.”

Mu Jinchen gave him an approving look.

Su Qianrou was somewhat speechless.

Although Liu Chengjun disagreed with his statement, he had no position to take, and since Su Qianrou hadn't said anything, he felt it was even more difficult for him to speak.

Seeing that no one spoke, Su Xiaoxiao said, "Mommy, I'm full. I'm going out to play now."

"it is good".

Su Xiaoxiao stood up, looked at Mu Jinchen, and said, "You come with me." Without waiting for his reply, she walked out.

Mu Jinchen was both happy and worried. He was happy that Su Xiaoxiao had come to him, but he was worried because he didn't know how to get along with her, so he felt helpless and looked at Su Qianrou.

Su Qianrou ignored it.

Fearing that Su Xiaoxiao would be unhappy if she waited too long, Mu Jinchen had no choice but to go out first.

In the courtyard, under the shade of a tree, Su Xiaoxiao sat on a swing, swinging slowly.

Mu Jinchen walked over.

Su Xiaoxiao then stopped and looked at him.

Mu Jinchen felt inexplicably nervous.

After a long while, Su Xiaoxiao finally spoke, asking, "Are you here to see my mother?"

"Ok".

"You want to rekindle your old flame with my mother."

"Ok".

"You like my mother."

"It's not just liking, it's love. I love her more than anyone else."

"If that's the case, why did you divorce?"

"Because of some misunderstandings."

"What misunderstanding?"

Mu Jinchen explained the whole story to her.

Inside the room, Liu Chengyun had already left, and Su Qianrou was sitting on the couch drinking tea.

A short while later, Mu Jinchen walked in, "Rou'er."

"Why are you all alone, so small?"

"Playing outside."

Su Qianrou didn't say anything more.

Mu Jinchen looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Speak your mind, or go back if you don't want to."

Mu Jinchen quickly sat down to the side and asked, "How have you been all these years?"

"fine".

After a moment of silence, Mu Jinchen said again, "What happened back then was a misunderstanding."

"I know".

Mu Jinchen looked at her in shock, "You know."

"My older brother already told me."

"So, you know that I've been looking for you for the past five years."

"Ok".

"Since you know, why don't you..."

"Why don't you let your older brother tell you, is that right?"

Mu Jinchen nodded in response.

"Although you were framed, so many people have tried to frame you, so why did she succeed? Also, you're such a smart person, how come you couldn't see the problem?"

"I misjudged him."

Is that all?

Mu Jinchen looked at her, puzzled.

"You really have no feelings for her at all."

"No," Mu Jinchen stood up excitedly. "Absolutely not. I only let her stay in the camp because I was grateful for her care. Who knew what would happen later? If I had known, I would never have let her stay."

“Your Highness, what the Prince said is true. He regrets it so much that he wants to slap himself every time he thinks about it. Also, he has driven countless horses to their deaths in his search for you over the years, but it has all come to nothing. Even so, the Prince has not given up. Whenever he hears news of you, he rushes there without stopping, afraid of missing you. He truly loves you. Please forgive him,” Yingfeng said.
