She was giving Yun Dezhi a pretext.
Upon hearing Yang's words, Yun Dezhi let out a long sigh of helplessness.
"I know what to do about this matter, and I won't wrong Yueyin."
Yang leaned contentedly into Yun Dezhi's embrace. "Yueyin is our pride. A couple of days ago, I received her letter. She said in it that the Regent treats her exceptionally well. Furthermore, the Regent had a few concubines before, but he sent them all away for Yueyin's sake. From now on, with the Regent protecting her, no one in the capital will be able to look down on us."
"It's all thanks to your excellent upbringing that Yueyin has become so outstanding."
"It's also thanks to Master's teachings, and of course, Yueyin herself is sufficiently intelligent. Now, everyone in the capital knows about Yueyin in the General's Mansion. It's a pity that in the future, when people mention the General's Mansion and think of Yueyin, they will also think of Yun Shu. This is too unfair to Yueyin." Yang felt a sense of injustice.
The mere thought of Yun Shu felt like a heavy stone lodged in her heart.
Yun Dezhi frowned.
Yang pressed on, continuing, "Master, why don't we move out and establish a separate residence? This way, when others mention Yueyin, they won't have to think of the disgraceful Yun Shu."
"Move out? This is the Zhen Nan General's Mansion! I am now a general commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, how can I move out of the General's Mansion? Even if someone were to move out, it should be my second brother!" Yun Dezhi retorted loudly, as if his sore spot had been touched.
Yang secretly curled the corner of her lips, then quickly soothed Yun Dezhi's anger. "Master, please don't be angry. I misspoke."
Yun Dezhi was still very displeased, his face turning pale. "Leave this matter to me. I will find a way to make my second brother and his family move out."
"But, will second brother willingly move out?" Yang sounded a little worried.
"It's not up to him if he wants to or not. The General's Mansion is under my command now. He has repeatedly defied Mother these past two days and, disregarding the reputation of the General's Mansion, acknowledged Yun Shu. This is his betrayal of the General's Mansion and of me. He is too foolish now! Him staying in the General's Mansion is also disadvantageous to me. Since he is determined to go his own way, he cannot blame me, his elder brother, for being too heartless." Yun Dezhi said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Yang lowered her head and smiled.
...
The next day.
As dawn broke.
Night King's Residence.
Zhan Xiaoli woke up. After opening his eyes, he got out of bed, put on his clothes, and washed his face.
Although he was only four years old, he could do everything himself and never needed anyone's help.
He had heard that being able to do things oneself meant one had grown up.
He wanted to grow up quickly so he could go find his mother. No one could stop him from finding his mother. xxs壹贰
He poured himself another cup of water. After drinking, he took a comb and styled his hair.
Even though his hair wasn't combed very smoothly, he could do it himself.
Once he had finished everything, he endured the pain and lay back down on the bed, propped on his stomach.
Drowsily, he fell asleep again.
In a daze, someone entered.
They came to his bedside and softly called out to him, "Little Prince, wake up. Breakfast has been sent."
Zhan Xiaoli was about to call out "Mother," but suddenly stopped.
It wasn't Mother!
Mother didn't smell like this!
Moreover, he heard the person's thoughts.
She was thinking, "When I marry the Night King and have a son, he will definitely be more outstanding than the Little Prince. At that time, the King will surely not like the Little Prince and will like the son I give birth to!"
