"Shen Yunzhou, Yi'er and I, there is no room for you around us anymore. Don't be so sentimental and don't be shameless!"

Qu Moran was obviously furious, so he poured a glass of wine over him, picked up the teapot and was about to smash it over, but Liu Yunxiang stopped him in a hurry.

"Sister Qu, please sit down first and speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Liu Yunxiang pulled Qu Moran to sit down. At the same time, he quickly gave the pot of tea to the maid behind him and asked her to take it away. The pot of tea had just been taken off the stove and the water was boiling hot.

Liu Yunxiang winked at Yan Mu, and the two stood up and left.

Shen Yunzhou wiped the wine from his face with a handkerchief and smiled, "This Li Zhu is just another Wei Hai. Do you deserve to be angry with me for such a person?"

Qu Moran became angry and said, "What happened to Wei Hai? At least he helped me when I was in the most difficult time. I wanted to marry him back then because I was sincere."

"A dirty villain!"

"It's always you who's dirty!"

Shen Yunzhou raised his head and frowned, "None of them are worthy of you, only me."

"You were very proud that your despicable methods made Wei Hai have second thoughts back then, weren't you? You want me to know that only you are sincere to me, but if I can't see your heart, how can I know? True or false? Of course, you can still use tricks to drive a wedge between me and Li Zhu. If he leaves me, I will accept it, but one thing you have to know is that I, Qu Moran, will never be with you again in this life!"

Shen Yunzhou narrowed his eyes, "I'm back and I will never leave you mother and son again."

"When I needed you, you left resolutely. Now that Qu Xing has passed away and Yi'er has grown up, I have recognized my mother and I don't need anyone around me anymore."

"Then Li Zhu..."

"I love him! It is undeniable that I fell in love with him because he appeared when I was in the most difficult time. He helped me a lot and gave me companionship. But this kind of love is not a mirror image, but a real thing. It is what I want. of."

Shen Yunzhou clenched the wine glass in his hand, his eyes turned cold, "I had no choice but to leave in the first place, why can't you understand me?"

"Why, why do you expect me to understand you?" Qu Moran snorted, "If you were not Yi'er's biological father, and you broke into my house without permission today and made a big fuss, I would have reported it to the police a long time ago."

"I will go to the eldest princess's house tomorrow to propose marriage. I believe the eldest princess knows who is the right man."

"Whatever you want, maybe break a leg or two and you'll wake up."

After saying that, Qu Moran stood up to leave.

"Mo Ran!" Shen Yunzhou called out, "I couldn't forgive you before, but I will repay you twice as much in the future!"

"If you want to repay me, then stay away from me and stay away from me."

Qu Moran left, determined to leave.

Liu Yunxiang went to see her off and asked Yan Mu to accompany Shen Yunzhou.

"Sister Qu, have you and Li Zhu's wedding date been decided?"

Qu Moran smiled and said, "It's decided, the twenty-first day of the first lunar month."

"Less than a month."

"Well, mother said that the princess was granted the title a year ago, and she will marry in the eldest princess's mansion next year. Li Zhu prepared a house, but how did he have all that money? I asked him, and he said it was given by his adoptive father."

"Sister Qu didn't ask in detail?"

"Don't ask."

"Why?"

"That's who I identify as."

"Well, I do know a bit about his past. If my sister doesn't ask, I won't tell you. I congratulate my sister on finding the person she likes, and this person is worth trusting."

Qu Moran held Liu Yunxiang's hand, "Thank you, but..."

"You're worried about Shen Yunzhou, aren't you? He'll have to be frustrated before he can accept the facts. Let him do it."

"He is Yi'er's biological father after all."

"Don't worry, he is a smart man."

After seeing off Qu Moran, Liu Yunxiang returned to the flower hall and saw Yan Mu and Shen Yunzhou drinking wine. Shen Yunzhou's eyes turned red, and he drank one cup after another, saying that he must go to the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow to propose marriage.

The next day was the New Year's Eve, and Shen Yunzhou prepared gifts and actually went to the eldest princess's mansion.

When it was almost noon, the guards carried him in. He was covered in injuries and one of his legs was broken.

Shen Yunzhou leaned on the pillow and said with a wry smile: "It seems like it's true this time... I really can't win her back."

On this day of the Lunar New Year, the imperial court had an annual holiday.

Wu Min came over in the afternoon and said that three old ministers had signed up today to ask for permission to return home.

"These three people, who are in the household department and the official department, are really not too old to be dim-sighted. I tried to persuade them, but they insisted on handing over the coupons, which showed that they were disappointed with the court."

"What did the emperor say?"

"Approved."

Yan Mu chuckled, "Since the Emperor has approved it, what's the point of telling me."

"Your Highness, the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by anthills. If it is not saved in time, I am afraid that there will be some turmoil in the court in the next year!"

"Master Wu, it's time for the court to be in turmoil, otherwise those in the upper echelons will only think that the world is peaceful."

After Wu Min was sent away, Yan Mu was still idle at home, not going out, let alone paying attention to political affairs.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve arrived, and Xue Changfeng came early. Liu Yunxiang welcomed him, but she was afraid that those two would come too, and she would not be able to laugh no matter how big her belly was.

"Everyone from King Suping left the capital, and King Qing went to chase him, but he actually chased him back." At this point, Xue Changfeng clicked his tongue, "Could it be because of your letter?"

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly. Lu Changan left Beijing with his family and returned home soon, as if nothing happened.

"What did you say in that letter?"

"I only said one thing."

"What?"

"I gave him two ways, one is to return to the capital to help His Highness and I put down the rebellion in the Southern Jin Dynasty, the other is to... die."

Qin Fei brought an elite cavalry to catch up with him. If he refused to return to the capital, he would be killed. As for the consequences, the Zhenbei Palace will bear the consequences.

This was the last resort, but under the circumstances at that time, it was the only way to go.

When Qin Feishi replied, he said that Lu Changan read the letter for a long time and finally laughed, loudly and like crazy, and then followed him back to Beijing.

She knew what he was laughing at, laughing at her being heartless and laughing at her cruelty for actually wanting to kill him.

Xue Changfeng knew about the previous friendship between Liu Yunxiang and Lu Changan, so he stopped asking further questions.

"Will King Suping and King Qing come again this year?"

Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, "Should I prepare two glasses of poisonous wine first?"

“Very good.”

Fortunately, these two people knew how many bad things they had done this year and did not come. Instead, Shangguan Xu and Hong Xuan came. Together with Shen Yunzhou who already lived in the house, the New Year's Eve dinner was still lively.

"You are a Taoist priest. Not only do you practice meditation, but you always join in the excitement." Xue Changfeng became familiar with Hongxuan and joked with him while drinking.

Hongxuan took a sip of wine and said, "This wine is good."

"Just for this drink?"

"How about I read you a passage from the Tao Te Ching to cheer you up?"

Xue Changfeng hurriedly waved his hand, "You'd better drink two more drinks."

Hongxuan smiled and said, "It is easiest to realize the truth when you practice in a prosperous world and experience joy, anger, sorrow, and human relationships."

"Then have you realized it?"

"This wine is mellow and sweet. I'll drink a few more glasses."
