“But…
“No buts. I can cultivate my body and mind in the monastery. I can also use this opportunity to think about how I should live in the future,” Jian Xin said seriously.
Qian Qing was silent for a long time after listening to this. Finally, she took a deep breath and nodded before she said, “If this is your decision, then I’ll respect it.”
Jian Xin finally sighed in relief when she heard Qian Qing’S words.
Luo Xiuran quickly said, “Marquis Luo’s Residence has a good relationship with the people in the monastery outside the city. I’ll tell someone to make preparations. I’ll make sure Sister Jian doesn’t suffer there. I’ll also arrange for a few female artists to protect Sister lian. With this, we’ll feel more at ease.” Qian Qing quickly turned around and said gratefully, “Thank you.”
Seeing that Qian Qing was no longer cold to him, Luo Xiuran felt a surge of excitement. It seemed like his efforts were not in vain.
Qian Qing turned to Yu Yunxi and called out, “County Princess, I…”
Yu Yunxi understood Qian Qing’s thoughts. She nodded and said, “You can send
Sister Jian off. There’s no need to follow me.”
“Thank you, County Princess.” Qian Qing nodded gratefully.
At this time, Yu Yongnian cleared his throat and said, looking a little helpless,
“I’ll take my leave now. I can’t stay for long. I still have to return to the Yu Residence.”
It was clear that Yu Yongnian was very resistant to returning to the Yu Residence.
After a short moment, only Feng Yili, Yu Yunxi, and the little bun were left.
The little bun rubbed his hands gleefully and said, “Father, I want to see what our new home looks like!”
“Alright, I’ll bring you there,” Feng Yili said with a nod.
The new house that Feng Yili bought was actually very close to the Revival Hall. It was also located in a relatively quiet and secluded place, which was what Yu Yunxi liked.
“I didn’t know such a house existed in the capital. How did you find it?” Yu Yunxi asked curiously.
“This used to be my imperial aunt’s residence. Later on, it was sold to a merchant, and after many twists and turns, it ended in my possession,” Feng Yili explained in a low voice.
‘I see. So this used to be the Eldest Princess’ Residence. Since Feng Yili had a good relationship with her, it’S quite meaningful for us to stay here…
At this moment, Jiang Ying walked in and reported, “Your Royal Highness, I’ve brought the servants here.”
A group of people dressed in plain robes stood behind Jiang Ying, looking timid.
“Alright, you can make the arrangements,” Feng Yili said with a nod.
“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”
After some time had passed, Liu Xiaolan, Gao Shixuan, and the others arrived.
Yu Yunxi, who had brought Yu Junjin out to welcome them, noticed Feng Zixiu immediately as Feng Zixiu alighted from the carriage.
Clearly, Feng Zixiu had been crying for a long time. After all, he was very resistant to leaving the Prince Regent’s Residence. As soon as he alighted from the carriage, he glared at Yu Yunxi and the little bun fiercely before he ran into the residence.
“Zixiu, Zixiu!” Gao Shixuan shouted anxiously from behind.
However, Feng Zixiu ignored Gao Shixuan completely.
Gao Shixuan did not chase after her son. Instead, she turned to Yu Yunxi and hurriedly apologized. “Yunxi, I’m sorry. Zixiu…”
“It’S fine. He just can’t accept it for the time being,” Yu Yunxi said indifferently.
“He’s very… obsessed with the identity of the heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence. I’ll educate him,” Liu Xiaolan said, shaking his head helplessly before he quickly went in.
Yu Yunxi looked at Liu Xiaolan’s back as he hurried in. She naturally understood what was going on.
Feng Zixiu had likely gotten used to the glory and treatment he received due to the title of the heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence. Now that he was suddenly told he was not Feng Yili’s biological son, it was only natural he could not accept it and was unwilling to accept it.
“As his mother, it’S all my fault. I wasn’t with him to educate him in the past.
Earlier, when we were on the way here, he even dared to throw something at Second Senior Brother. He even questioned why Second Senior Brother was not a prince because he wanted to be the heir of a prince,” Gao Shixuan said with a bitter smile on her face. ‘Prince?’
“But Liu Xiaolan is…
Yu Yunxi trailed off. She almost said that Liu Xiaolan was a prince of Nanyue. Although he was not favored in Nanyue, the Emperor of Nanyue would not mistreat him if he returned to Nanyue. After all, the Emperor of Nanyue had to consider his reputation and image.
Yu Yunxi did not finish her words because she remembered that Gao Shixuan was unaware of Liu Xiaolan’s true identity. It was best to let Liu Xiaolan personally tell Gao Shixuan about this. Hence, she shook her head and said softly, “In any case, don’t worry so much. The servants have already prepared a courtyard for the three of you. I’ll bring you there now.”
“Alright. Thank you, Yunxi.” Gao Shixuan nodded gratefully.
“It’S fine. You don’t have to be so polite,” Yu Yunxi said with a smile, shaking her head.
Late at night.
Yu Yunxi brought a cup of tea to Feng Yili’S study.
At this time, he was still reading the official documents under the candlelight. His eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked worried.
Yu Yunxi sighed softly as she placed the cup of tea on the desk and asked, “What did Marquis Luo say to you earlier? You’ve been in a terrible mood since then.”
“Today, I agreed with Jian Xin going to the monastery not only for her safety, but also for another matter,” Feng Yili said seriously as he set the document in his hands down on the desk.
“What is it?”
“Earlier, Old Marquis Luo mentioned something to me. Before we returned to the capital, rumors had spread from a temple that disturbed the hearts of the people. It was said that there was a demoness in the imperial family. It was also said that the woman would overturn the imperial family and bring about a calamity to the country,” Feng Yili said solemnly.
Yu Yunxi snorted when she heard this. “Nonsense. These words are just meant to confuse the masses. How can the state of the imperial family and the country be blamed on one person? Clearly, the person who spread the rumors has evil intentions. In my opinion, he or she is the demon!” The more Yu Yunxi spoke, the angrier she became.
“Indeed. Marquis Luo, you, and I know there’s no basis for the rumors. However, the same can’t be said for the people, and they’re beginning to panic,” Feng Yili said. 1–1is tone was grave as he continued to say, “Yunxi, have you forgotten about what happened between us five years ago?” Upon hearing this, Yu Yunx’s eyelids twitched violently.
‘That’s right. 1–10w could I forget about that?’
The citizens of Tianxia were very superstitious, believing in gods and spirits. Not only that, but they also worshiped the Imperial Preceptor as though he was a god. With this, it was not surprising the people believed such an absurd rumor.
Yu Yunxi sighed.. She took a seat and asked helplessly, “What else did Old
Marquis Luo say?”
