Who one likes is not important.
What is important is detoxification! Detoxification!
"Get out!" Zhan Tianye shouted coldly.
Qiu Lu immediately scrambled out.
As soon as he stepped outside, Qiu Lu froze.
He saw Zhan Xiao Li standing not far away, "Little Prince, why are you here?"
"I want to see Father," Zhan Xiao Li said with a solemn expression.
He had heard everything just now.
He used to be able to hear the thoughts of bad people.
But recently, his hearing had suddenly improved.
Even standing far away, he could hear people talking.
Qiu Lu had been worried that his conversation with the Prince just now had been overheard by the Little Prince, but seeing how far away the Little Prince was standing, he felt relieved.
Even someone with strong martial arts skills wouldn't have been able to hear.
"Your Highness, the Little Prince wishes to see you," Qiu Lu reported to Zhan Tianye inside the room.
"Come in."
Zhan Xiao Li immediately trotted on his short legs and quickly entered the room.
Watching Zhan Xiao Li's somewhat anxious little back, Qiu Lu was curious, what was the matter with the Little Prince?
After Zhan Xiao Li entered the room.
He looked at his father and said very earnestly, "Father, I don't want you to marry anyone else. Marry Aunt Yun Shu!"
Zhan Tianye's gaze deepened.
"Also, Yun Yue Yin is a bad woman, not my mother! She is very, very bad, worse than any woman Father brought to me before!" Zhan Xiao Li clenched his small fists, wanting to tell his father the truth!
He couldn't let his father be deceived by a bad woman! That bad woman was too detestable!
The bad woman not only deceived Father but also wanted to harm Mother!
Zhan Tianye was shocked and looked at Zhan Xiao Li with great surprise.
Just a few days ago, Zhan Xiao Li had gone to great lengths to see Yun Yue Yin, calling her 'Mother' with every other breath.
Yet, in just a few days, after meeting Yun Yue Yin, he was now saying she wasn't his mother?
"Why do you say that?" Zhan Tianye asked sternly.
Zhan Xiao Li sighed, "Because I can see through her heart and know what she's thinking. In her heart, she says she's not my mother."
He had told his father this before, but his father thought he was lying to keep those bad women from entering the manor.
He didn't believe him at all!
However, this time, Zhan Tianye looked deeply at Zhan Xiao Li, whose little face was cold.
A doubt he had never felt before flashed in his heart.
Was the woman from all those years ago really Yun Yue Yin?
Xiao Li was usually a man of few words, but every time he spoke, it was something he truly wanted to say.
Ever since Xiao Li went to the Yun manor to meet Yun Yue Yin once, he had never pestered him to see Yun Yue Yin again.
Could it be that Xiao Li could really hear people's thoughts?
"You are not lying to Father?" Zhan Tianye asked gently.
"I will not lie to Father," Zhan Xiao Li said with a slight emphasis.
Zhan Tianye's eyes flickered, and he asked again, "If she is not your mother, then did you hear from her heart who your mother is?"
Zhan Xiao Li thought of what his mother had told him, and he lowered his head and shook it, "I don't know."
He couldn't tell his father yet.
When Father says he likes Mother, or even wants to marry Mother, he would definitely tell Father the truth!
A chill settled in Zhan Tianye's eyes.
Thinking back to the events of that year, they did indeed seem somewhat inexplicable.
For years, he had been searching for a way to detoxify himself and had never truly considered the matter.
Zhan Xiao Li looked at Zhan Tianye, who was lost in thought, and asked with some urgency, "Father, do you like Aunt Yun Shu?"
Zhan Tianye withdrew his thoughts and looked down at Zhan Xiao Li, "Who Father likes and who he will marry are things Father needs to consider. Xiao Li, you only need to remember one thing: even if Father marries someone in the future, you will still be the most important person in Father's heart, and that person must treat you well."
"I don't like anyone else. Right now, I only like Aunt Yun Shu. I won't like whoever you marry, unless it's Aunt Yun Shu! I will only willingly call Aunt Yun Shu 'Mother'!" After saying this, Zhan Xiao Li ran out.
However, as soon as he ran out, he ran back in.
"I'm going to the Grand General's manor to see Aunt Yun Shu tomorrow! Father, you can't have anyone stop me." Zhan Xiao Li said, gathering his courage.
There were too many people watching him in the prince's manor, and he couldn't escape.
So, he had to openly make a request to his father.
Even though he knew his father would likely not agree.
"Yes, Qiu Lu will escort you."
Zhan Xiao Li thought he had misheard, "Father?"
"Go," Zhan Tianye waved his hand.
Since he wanted to see her, then let him see her.
Yun Shu was not like Zhan Qian'er anyway.
Zhan Xiao Li's starry eyes widened, full of disbelief, "Father, you don't actually like Aunt Yun Shu, do you?"
He rarely talked this much, and he asked so many questions.
"No need to overthink it." Zhan Tianye looked at the clearly excited Zhan Xiao Li, as if merely mentioning Yun Shu made Zhan Xiao Li very happy?
And also brought out a bit of childlike innocence and liveliness?
Thinking of liveliness, he suddenly thought of Xiao Jing.
Zhan Xiao Li left with some disappointment.
There was still time, he would make Father fall in love with Mother.
A moment later, Qiu Lu returned to Zhan Tianye's side.
"Your Highness, you summoned me?"
Zhan Tianye asked directly, "Do you have any news about Xiao Jing?"
Qiu Lu was startled for a moment, then exclaimed, "Your Highness, do you have ears that can hear a thousand miles? How did you know I have news of Xiao Jing?"
"Speak." Zhan Tianye felt that Qiu Lu had been talking too much lately.
"Xiao Jing went to the Grand General's manor. He was brought there by General Yun, who said he felt pity for Xiao Jing, being an orphan, and took him in. However, Xiao Jing has already recognized Your Highness as his adopted father. Why would he suddenly go to the Grand General's manor? Should I go to the manor to ask Xiao Jing about it?" Qiu Lu's face was full of question marks as he spoke.
Zhan Tianye lowered his eyes and pondered.
"Xiao Li wants to go to the General's manor to see Yun Shu. When you take him there, go and see Xiao Jing. Since Xiao Jing has recognized this Prince as his adopted father, there is no reason for him to be living in someone else's home," Zhan Tianye commanded.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
...
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Wen Shu hurried to knock on the door.
"Miss, someone from the Regent's manor just came with a message, asking Miss to go to the Regent's manor immediately!"
Yun Yue Yin weakly got out of bed.
Her mother had cried for most of the night yesterday. News from the military camp had reached Jingchen, and both her mother and grandmother were very worried about her father's condition. xxs壹贰
She had comforted them for a long time and finally managed to reassure them.
It was already past midnight when she went to sleep.
She replied to Wen Shu outside the door, "Come in and help me wash up."
Wen Shu immediately pushed open the door and walked in.
When Wen Shu opened the door and walked in, she was completely shocked by what she saw.
She looked at Yun Yue Yin in disbelief, "Ah! Miss, Miss's face!"
Yun Yue Yin was startled awake, all traces of sleepiness vanishing. She got up and went to the bronze mirror. Through the mirror, she saw her face.
"How could this happen? Ah! No, this is a nightmare, this is a nightmare!" Yun Yue Yin screamed.
