Seeing the chaos inside the room, Yue Wenhan pulled a long face. He took a glance at the situation and immediately recognized the people here. He rushed to stand in front of Qu Moying, blocked Qu Zhizhen's hand that was about to fall on her face, and sneered, "Mr. Qu, why do you treat your ex-wife's daughter so harshly after you just came back? I wonder if it's because my family mistreated you when you stayed in the Yue's Mansion during your trip to the South."Qu Moying's mother Yue was born in a scholarly family in the South. The Yue’s Family was not powerful but had a decent reputation, respected by many civil officials.Yue Wenhan was a previous principal graduate of the Imperial Examination. With his family background and great competence, he had already become the vice minister of the Dali Temple, a level-four official, at a young age. His rank was still lower than Qu Zhizhen's, but he climbed up the ladder with his own abilities and had a promising f

"My lord, what about Qingmeng? What about Qingmeng now? If we break off the engagement, they will never allow Qingmeng to marry into the Xu’s Family. Marchioness Yongning won't agree." Tears flowed down Yu's cheeks. She stared at Qu Zhizhen with a pitiful look on her face, sobbing. If it were before, Qu Zhizhen would soon soften and agree to her request.However, he was still annoyed by Yue Wenhan since he made him lose face in public. At the same time, hearing Yu talking about Qingmeng this whole time instead of Qu Moying became even more irritating. He flew into a rage and reached out to push Yu away rudely.That was not what Yu expected. She stepped back and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Auntie Hai reacted quickly and stepped forward to keep her from falling."My lord..." Yu whined and pouted as her tears fell down."Stop, stop, stop! All you know is crying. Can you do something useful? Look at you, letting your own ni

"Send her back to the Crown Prince. Tell him she's my gift!" Pei Yuanjun said lazily."Yes, my lord!" A guard came over and dragged the woman out."Thank you, my lord! Thank you!" The woman was staring at the air blankly before. Hearing Pei Yuanjun's words, a trace of shock flashed across her eyes, and then she felt overjoyed.She was not going to be killed!She not only survived but also was sent back to the Crown Prince. Didn't it mean that she became Lord Yun's gift for the Crown Prince?She used to be a music performer that served in the Crown Prince's Mansion. When she was there, she heard that the Crown Prince valued Lord Yun's opinions a lot. Now since she became a gift from the lord, the Crown Prince had to treat her well.Compared to Lord Yun, she preferred the Crown Prince much more...The room fell into silence after the woman was dragged out. Pei Yuanjun stood up and walked to the

The Fourth Lady didn't feel well and almost fainted when she was taking a walk in the garden. When Qu Qiuyan heard the news, she pressed her lips into a straight line - this was nothing new for her. Disdainfully, she said to Yu Qingmeng, who was showing a long face, "Don't be so upset. Didn't Xu Lipeng promise you that he will marry an incompetent wife? You can just get rid of her later when everything is settled."Yu Qingmeng covered her belly with her hands, lowering her head. She clearly knew that she was not pregnant, and sooner or later, Xu Lipeng would be aware of it as well. "Father is furious...that I will become a concubine.""So what? Are you going to give up because of this? I heard Marchioness Yongning is a tough one. You should worry about yourself more!" Qu Qiuyan's tone was arrogant, "You don't have a good reputation right now. But after you become Young Master Yongning's wife, who will still care about all of this?""I'm afraid

"Mr. Qu, the opera group today seems decent. Let them make a performance in my mansion a few days later," Pei Yuanjun said lazily, pointing at the coquettish female performer with delicate makeup.Qu Zhizhen hurriedly bowed to him, "My lord, I'm afraid I can't decide for them. This opera group has been staying in the Crown Prince's Mansion... It's not up to me if they agree to arrange the performance or not.""Do you mean I'm less important than you?" Pei Yuanjun sneered, "Just deliver the message to the group owner. I don't care if they agree or not!"Qu Zhizhen kept nodding in a cold sweat, "Yes... Yes. The message will be well delivered to them, my lord."He realized that even the Crown Prince would agree to any request from Lord Yun. Whether the opera group belonged to the Crown Prince or even the emperor, as long as Lord Yun wanted to watch their performance, they had to agree anyway.Pei Yuanjun had done his job
