Looking at the items filling the courtyard, Yun Xiaojing couldn't help but nod, "Our dad is very rich!"
Yesterday, seeing the pile of betrothal gifts from his great-grandfather, he already thought his great-grandfather was very rich.
Now, seeing the betrothal gifts his father was preparing for his mother, he felt his father also seemed very rich!
Zhan Xiaoli nodded her little head, "Yes, Daddy is extremely wealthy! You won't find anyone more formidable than Daddy in the capital."
After saying that, Zhan Xiaoli's expression was quite proud.
She wanted to prove that she had always wanted Daddy to marry Mommy because Daddy was good.
Although she sometimes disliked Daddy for being too cold, such a minor flaw could be overlooked, as her mother wasn't cold-hearted.
"Daddy is a good person. He saved me when a bad guy was about to take me away before!" Zhan Xiaofeng always remembered this.
Every boy had a hero dad in his heart.
Especially a hero dad who could save him when he was in danger.
However, Yun Xiaojing didn't have any rosy views of Zhan Tianye. He had previously thought Daddy was a scumbag for making Mommy suffer so much and raising him alone. Even though he now knew some of the truth from back then, he still didn't see Daddy in a particularly favorable light.
Yun Xiaojing yawned, "Let's hurry up and prepare! I'm telling you, that cake is especially delicious. Mommy had someone make it before, and I still remember the taste! Mommy said she loves cake very much, and we can celebrate important occasions with cake. The three of us must make a cake!"
Although Zhan Xiaoli and Zhan Xiaofeng were also yawning and groggy with sleep, they weren't afraid of being tired for the sake of making Mommy's favorite cake! They had to make the cake quickly!
The entire Night King's Estate was bustling before dawn.
Qiu Lu reported the events of the previous night at the General's Estate to Zhan Tianye.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Tianye's eyes remained fixed on the clothes in front of him, seeming somewhat dissatisfied, but he still spoke, "Was it the Regent who released them?"
"Yes, the Regent personally intervened. Your subordinate has already sent people to investigate why the Regent intervened to release them and what else they can be used for by the Regent," Qiu Lu said.
Zhan Tianye grunted, "After leaving prison, they tried their best to return to the General's Estate. Their sole purpose is that the Regent intends to use them. Order someone to keep a close eye on them."
"Yes."
After Qiu Lu acknowledged, he looked at Zhan Tianye with some curiosity.
He had never seen the Prince take so long to choose clothes.
He had already changed the second batch.
It seemed that none of the newly presented clothes were satisfactory.
"Bring out a few more pieces," Zhan Tianye said with a slight frown. Why were all these clothes black and dark-colored?
Qiu Lu went and fetched a few more.
But Zhan Tianye was still not satisfied.
Qiu Lu blinked and said, "Your Highness's clothes are almost all the same, the fabrics are also similar. In fact, any piece would be the same. Perhaps Your Highness should..."
"Go to a ready-made clothing shop and buy a new one," Zhan Tianye ordered with a slightly somber expression.
"Alright!" Qiu Lu was about to leave immediately.
Seeing Qiu Lu about to leave directly, Zhan Tianye quickly called out, "Stop. Do you know what kind of clothes I want?"
"Yes, your subordinate knows Your Highness's preferences very well. Your Highness likes colors that are a bit deeper, not too ostentatious!" Qiu Lu's tone was extremely confident. If he couldn't grasp this preference of the Prince after following him for so long, could he still be considered a competent personal guard?
Perhaps the Prince didn't like the style of these clothes, so it was a good time to change the style.
Zhan Tianye's expression darkened, "No."
"Ah?" Qiu Lu was a bit bewildered.
"Blue or crimson purple. As long as it's not black, buy them all for me to see," Zhan Tianye said.
Qiu Lu was now completely dumbfounded.
The Prince had always disdained those colors before.
Now he was talking about changing colors?
Suddenly, Qiu Lu's eyes brightened, and he understood why the Prince had undergone such a significant change.
It was because of Miss Yun Er!
Moreover, today was the grand day of their engagement, so it was indeed necessary to wear something festive. These black clothes naturally couldn't be worn!
...
In front of the Ruan Estate gate.
When Lu Hao saw that it was the Ruan Estate, his face turned pale with fright.
He looked at Jing Heng in terror, "Master arranged me here?"
"This is the safest place in the entire capital right now. The Regent won't find us here," Jing Heng's expression was ice-cold.
Under Jing Heng's cold demeanor, Lu Hao felt even more terrified.
He hadn't forgotten that he had lost a piece of flesh here. The dog's gaping maw was no different from the Regent's snake pit!
Just recalling it made his legs weak.
"Can you arrange me somewhere else?" Lu Hao asked, his voice trembling slightly.
Jing Heng found Lu Hao too indecisive and didn't want to bother with him. He directly grabbed his arm and leaped up.
Without even knocking, he entered the Ruan Estate.
Lu Hao's face turned ashen with fright, and he couldn't utter a word.
The moment they landed, Lu Hao, on the verge of tears, finally spoke, "Can you guarantee I won't be bitten by the dog?"
Jing Heng said, "If you don't bite the dog, why would the dog bite you?"
Lu Hao was speechless.
How could Master tolerate Jing Heng? Keeping Jing Heng by his side as a bodyguard? Others spoke, but Jing Heng's words could kill!
...
The sky had completely brightened.
The moment the sunlight streamed into the room.
Old Madam Yun opened her eyes.
She had slept restlessly all night.
A major matter had been weighing on her mind.
Perhaps it was because she had returned to a familiar place, but even though she had slept poorly, her complexion had improved somewhat.
She hurriedly asked Nanny Liu to comb her hair.
Then she rushed to eat breakfast.
Afterward, she instructed Nanny Liu to help her go see Yun Shu.
Nanny Liu was confused, "Old Madam, why are you going to see the second young lady? Shouldn't the second young lady come to see you and pay her respects?"
Old Madam Yun was taken aback at Nanny Liu's words, thinking they were reasonable. But then she reconsidered and said, "So many things have happened recently. Do you think she still has me, her grandmother, in her eyes? Today is the day of her engagement to Prince Ye. I should go and see her."
She had to see her.
Nanny Liu understood, "Old Madam is right. It's good to go and see her now. The second young lady will surely be grateful to Old Madam for her thoughtful consideration."
The two walked out, and shortly after, they appeared before Yun Shu's door.
Seeing A'Cha blocking the entrance and the door tightly shut, Old Madam Yun frowned, "Has your second young lady not woken up yet?"
"Miss is still resting," A'Cha replied with her head bowed.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Yun frowned even more. Was this girl Yun Shu too lazy?
At this moment, Yun Shu, inside the room, suddenly opened her eyes.
She glanced sideways towards the entrance.
A cold smile touched her lips. Was Old Madam Yun too impatient?
