"Don't you know how overboard that Ge Ge is? She's so unreasonable and unforgiving. How can I stand that high and mighty attitude of hers? Of course, I had to teach her a lesson.”Guan Yupian said indignantly.
It was already time to light the lanterns. A rare lively noise came from outside the side hall of the Tiele King's Mansion. Upon a closer look, he saw several guards and servants standing outside. They were all listening to Guan Yupian talk about what happened in the market today. Everyone was so surprised that they forgot to close their mouths. Even Guan Jiejue, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was also stunned.
" You actually did this…" Guan Jiejue couldn't help but sigh.
When would she change her nosy personality?
She had brought him and Lan Zhi far away from home. On the way, she had seen injustice on the road, so she had pulled out her knife to help. She had not even considered her own weight. Now, what was even more exaggerated was that she had even provoked Ge Ge! Did she know that Ge Ge could take her life without being interrogated?
Did she think that his highness would make decisions for her? Thinking of Tie Zhanye, he couldn't help but shift his gaze to the side hall. He saw Tie Zhanye having dinner with a smile on his face.
What was going on now? What exactly happened?
He had only been unconscious for a day and had let Guan Yupian accompany His Highness alone for a day. Why did he feel that there seemed to be a subtle change between the two of them?
If it was in the past, His Highness would definitely be furious and might even punish her. However, he quietly ate dinner and even smiled as if he approved of her doing this…Was it because she had helped him regain his face?
But didn't his highness hate it when people made an issue out of his leg? Now that she had said a bunch of random things, but he did not have any reaction, there must be something fishy going on.
"Tsk, don't you know how annoying that Ge Ge's face is?”"Do you know what else she said? She said that she missed wangye and asked if wangye missed her too. She also said that she didn't know if wangye's legs could walk and if he could play with her…"
As soon as she said that, the people beside her not only opened their mouths wide, but even their eyes widened in disbelief.
"What's wrong? I still have a lot to say. Why are you guys like this? Did you see a ghost?" She hadn't gotten to the main point yet. Why did everyone have such strange expressions?
"Don't say anymore." Guan Jiejue quickly covered her mouth.
Did she know what she was talking about? Could this matter be said verbally?
"Why don't you ask me to say it? "I haven't even told you how I made her so angry that her face turned green and her entire body trembled…" She couldn't push his hand away and could only glare at him angrily. "There's no problem with wangye's leg. With a little treatment, it will recover. It will always get better. You don't have to be afraid that wangye will get angry again because of the leg problem.”
She didn't know how many times she had mentioned it today, but wangye hadn't gotten angry.
What did it matter if she told him about her "heroic deeds" today?
" It's not like that…" Stop it! How could she still say anything when he had already covered her mouth?
"What else?" Wasn't it? If not, then what?
" That's…" Could he not answer? This was very strange.
Guan Jiejue wanted to ask for help from the crowd, but they scattered like birds and beasts. Just as he was lamenting about the coldness of human feelings, he saw a shadow gradually approaching him on the ground. He couldn't help but look up at the owner of the shadow.
"Your Highness…"
Could he have heard it? This matter could not be said out loud. No man could withstand such ridicule, not to mention that he was a noble prince…Would he sentence them to death this time?
"Let go." Tie Zhanye's eyes were fixed on the hand covering Guan Yu's mouth.
Guan Yupian had always said that even though he was not her own son, she still treated Guan Jiejue as her own son. However, in his eyes, that was not the case.
Guan Jiejue was too close to her. Besides, they were almost the same age. The way he protected her was not the way a son would treat his mother.
"Yes."
Hearing Tie Zhanye's words, Guan Jiejue hurriedly let go of his hand. He felt that Tie Zhanye was still looking at him, as if he was very dissatisfied with him…as if he was hostile.
Hostile? As he was thinking, he suddenly heard Tie Zhanye's cold voice.
"Yu Pian, push this king back to the courtyard."
Guan Jiejue looked up and saw him staring at Guan Yupian with a possessive gaze. In an instant, he seemed to understand something and stood in the middle to block him.
"Wangye, it's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew that he was stupid, but he knew that he was stupid, but he still said it without hesitation because the man in front of him was different from the lechers in the past. In the past, those men had only taken a fancy to her beauty, but this prince was different. He would never let him cross the line, even if he was a prince.
"Jiejue, what nonsense are you talking about?”Guan Yupian hurriedly pushed him away and bowed to Tie Zhanye. "Your highness, this little brat is not sensible. I beg your highness not to take offense.”
Tsk, she always said that she didn't know how to speak properly, but he was the one who spoke without restraint.
"I didn't say anything wrong." She was the one who didn't understand the situation.
"Still talking!" She hurriedly reprimanded him in a low voice, then whispered into his ear to remind him,"What's wrong with you now? You'll be beheaded if you say that.”
"If your highness is so unreasonable, then I have nothing to say.”He looked away, wanting to stay away from her warm breath blowing against his ear.
"You bastard…"
Just as she was about to explain to him, she realized that someone had grabbed her collar and forcefully pulled her away from Guan Jiejue. She turned her head in confusion and looked at Ge You, who had grabbed her collar.
"Geyou, why are you pulling me like this?”
What was going on now? Could it be that he was so " stingy with words " that he didn't even need to say a word and directly pushed her away?
"His Highness wants you to push him back to his room." Geyou said briefly.
"Can't you just say it? I feel very uncomfortable carrying me like this.”
Guan Yupian's smile was a little stiff. Ge You loosened his grip and she hurriedly adjusted her collar. She was about to push Tie Zhanye back to his room when she saw Guan Jiejue still blocking her way.
"I'll push wangye back to his room." He refused to move aside.
In the past, it was fine, but now that he found that his highness was looking at her with a strange gaze, he naturally could not let them continue to mess around.
Tie Zhanye looked up at Guan Jiejue, who was still as childish as before. "What? Are you afraid that this king will eat your mother?”
Just as he had guessed, Guan Jiejue was treating his stepmother like a man. This was not an exaggeration. After all, the two of them were of similar age. Moreover, they had been together for a long time. It was not surprising that they would fall in love over time. However, he just felt uncomfortable.
He was just a young boy. How could she rely on him?
Guan Jiejue didn't reply, but Guan Yupian laughed out loud.
"Is Your Highness joking?" She was confused and did not understand what they were talking about. She only found it funny.
Tie Zhanye raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything. He just looked at Guan Jiejue quietly. Only they knew whether they were secretly competing with each other.
Guan Yupian stood behind Tie Zhanye and stared at the two of them. She was about to scold Guan Jiejue for being too presumptuous when she saw a guard approaching quickly.
The guard knelt in front of Tie Zhanye and said calmly,""Reporting to your highness, someone outside wants to see Madam Guan.”
Guan Clan? Was he referring to her?
Guan Yupian looked at Guan Jiejue in confusion. The two of them looked at each other and seemed to understand each other.
"Who is it?" Tie Zhanye closed his eyes, not wanting to see them exchanging glances.
"Your Highness, it's a merchant. He claims to be surnamed Guan and is the youngest uncle of the Guan family. He's here to find the Guan family and the only son of the Guan family. He wants the Guan family to hand over the Guan family incense.”
The guard looked up at Guan Yupan, and the hall fell silent.
Hearing this, Guan Yupian confirmed that his guess was correct.
Sigh, aren't they too good at finding? Even the Imperial Residence was here! She thought that Beijing was far enough, but she was still found.
Since she couldn't escape, she didn't want to hide anymore.
"Wangye, can you let this servant meet him?”she asked softly.
Tie Zhanye rested his chin on his hand and thought for a while before he said lightly,""Ge You, go and bring the people outside the residence to the hall. This king wants to know what is going on.”
He remembered that she had mentioned this matter before, and now was the time to prove whether what she said was true.
If what she said was true, then the person outside the residence was lying, and he deserved to die!
"Jiejue, would Uncle lie to you? Your father was really killed by that demoness. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that your father died as soon as he entered the bridal chamber?”
In the lobby of the King's Mansion of Tie Le, Guan Xuyuan's extravagant and noisy speech could be heard.
"You don't believe what Little Uncle said?"
"Bullshit! How dare you say such nonsense!”Guan Yupian couldn't help but feel angry.
Originally, he was still worried that in this Wang Fu, he had to at least be polite. However, the more he said, the more ridiculous it became. It was as if what he said was true.
"Who sent people to kill Jue? Who poisoned Little Lan Zhi's food? Who is plotting against me? And who forced me to bring my two children to the far end of the world? Didn't you already get what you wanted and let all the family assets fall into your hands? Are you still going to kill them all?”If she continued to listen to him, she would probably vomit blood from anger.
"Nonsense!" " You fooled my brother with your face," Guan Xuyuan cursed." You didn't think that my brother treated you well. You killed him and even took his children away. You were trying to make my brother lose his descendants!"”
"Impudent!" Tie Zhanye shouted impatiently and glared at Guan Xuyuan with a pair of cold and sinister eyes. "Do you think this king's mansion is a market? Or is it because you don't even have this king in your eyes? Otherwise, why would you be so impudent?”
He glared at Guan Xuyuan and the servants who came with him, then at the furious Guan Yupian and the contemptuous Guan Jiejue. He didn't need to ask to know who was lying.
"Then what do you plan to do now?”He asked Guan Xuyuan coldly.
There was something wrong with this man! How did he know that she and Guan Jiejue were in his mansion when he just arrived in Beijing? It was possible that he had followed the trail. In other words, he was in a hurry to find her and Guan Jiejue. Why were they looking for them? It seemed to be quite appropriate to say that it was to kill him to silence him.
"Naturally, I will bring Jiejue back to Jiangning. After all, he is the real master of the Guan family. This lowly one is just temporarily taking care of the family property for him, in case that demoness takes it away.”Guan Xuyuan put away his anger and put on a pleading look.
"What if this king is unwilling?"
As soon as he said that, Guan Jiejue and Guan Yupian looked up at him at the same time. They didn't understand what he meant by " not willing ".
Guan Xuyuan was stunned at first, then he said anxiously,""This one doesn't understand. This one wants to bring my nephew back to Jiangning, why is your highness unwilling?”
Tie Zhanye didn't care how Guan Yupian and the others reacted. He sneered and said,""Because he is already this king's adopted son. Tell me, is a small merchant from Jiangning better than being this king's adopted son? Since he is already this king's adopted son, if this king doesn't let him go, can you take him away?”
Just as he expected, Guan Yupian and Guan Jiejue were dumbstruck.
"Godson?" Guan Xuyuan muttered the word in a daze.
"The person you want to bring back is already this prince's adopted son and has taken this prince's surname. He is no longer a member of your Guan family, so you have no right to take him away.”Tie Zhanye said mercilessly and then ordered,""Ha Chitu, send the guest out."
Just like that, no matter what Guan Xuyuan wanted to say, he and his servants were chased out of the mansion by Ha Chitu.
There were only three people left in the huge hall.
Tie Zhanye sat in the wooden wheelchair with a smug look on his face. His thin lips were even curled into a smile.
Guan Yupian and Guan Jiejue looked at each other, then walked towards Tie Zhanye in tacit understanding and slowly bent down.
"This servant thanks wangye for your grace, thanks wangye for trusting this servant, and thanks wangye for helping this servant out of this predicament.”Guan Yupian said gratefully.
He was willing to believe her, so she was naturally secretly happy, but what he said just now…She had never heard him mention it at all. Moreover, their status was too different. How could Jiejue be his foster son? He must have forced that scoundrel Guan Xuyuan to retreat in order to help her.
"Help?" Tie Zhanye smiled devilishly. "When did this king help you out?"
"What? Wasn't it just now? In order to stop Guan Xuyuan from spouting nonsense, didn't His Highness say that he had adopted Jie Jue as his son and chased him out of the manor?”
Could it be…he was serious?
"This king isn't making excuses, this king has really made up his mind.”Tie Zhanye looked at her with an evil smile. "This king had this plan before, but I haven't mentioned it yet. Now is the best time to inform you and Jiejue.”
"But…why does His Highness need an adopted son? Your highness is still young. If your highness wants a son, wouldn't it be fine as long as he marries a Fujin? Why do you need Jie Jue to be your adopted son?" She really didn't understand. If he wanted children, it wasn't like he was too old to have children. As long as he married a Fujin, wouldn't it be fine?
Tie Zhanye's expression changed drastically.
Seeing this, Guan Jiejue quickly pulled Guan Yupian to his side, telling her to stop saying stupid things.
"There's a problem with his highness 'feet, he can't stand up at all, and he might not even be able to have sex.”Guan Jiejue whispered.
He had already tried his best to lower his voice, but who knew that this stupid woman…
"Who said that wangye can't stand up? The steward had said that as long as wangye was willing to receive treatment, he would definitely be able to recover. Wangye's illness was a mental illness. He was the one who didn't want to leave, so how could he not leave?”She said disapprovingly. She did not feel that she was in the wrong at all.
Her words scared Guan Jiejue so much that his face turned ashen. He looked at Tie Zhanye, whose expression was uncertain, with trepidation. Suddenly, he saw a smile on his gloomy face.
"Whether it's a heart disease or not, you just have to wait by this king's side and you'll know.”he suddenly said.
"Huh?" What did he mean?
"It's late at night, you should go back to your room to rest first. Jiejue will follow this king back to the courtyard to serve me tonight.”Tie Zhanye gave the order without any explanation, his charming eyes staring at Guan Jiejue's hand on her slender waist. "Jiejue, come and push this king back to the courtyard.”
"Yes."
Guan Jiejue immediately walked forward and pushed him into the courtyard, leaving Guan Yupan standing there in confusion.
"What is the meaning of this?"
She tilted her head and stared at the other end of the corridor. She did not understand the meaning behind Tie Zhanye's profound words, but she was very touched by his trust in her today.#
