Xin Ruyi felt uncomfortable seeing Xiao Chengyi like this, but there were some things she had to say.
She took a deep breath and continued: "Fengdu City, you exchanged Yan Yan's life for the lives of the people. As the regent, I have nothing to say.
But as my son and Yan Yan's husband, I have to blame you for putting your wife in danger because of your incompetence.
When did Yan Yan suffer and suffer not because of you? I won’t talk about the past things.
But from now on, as a husband, a father, and a son, you should shoulder your own responsibilities and don't let this kind of separation between life and death happen again."
Xiao Chengyi straightened his back and took Xin Ruyi's words to heart. He nodded heavily and said, "Son, please remember your mother's teachings."
Xin Ruyi stood up and helped him up and said: "Just remember, if you can't protect Yan Yan, then my mother will decide to marry her to someone else, so that I won't have to suffer with you."
Xiao Chengyi was frightened when he heard this, and even his face changed: "Mom, my son really knows that he was wrong."
Xin Ruyi glared at him and said in an annoyed voice: "Mom is not joking with you."
Xiao Chengyi naturally knew that she was not joking. In fact, what his mother said was right. Yan Yan was in danger every time because of him, so his mother was right to teach him a lesson.
He looked at Xin Ruyi and said in a deep voice: "My son will no longer worry my mother, and he will definitely take good care of Yan Yan."
"good."
Xin Ruyi patted Xiao Chengyi's hand and couldn't bear to blame, so she changed the subject and asked, "Have all the matters in the palace been resolved?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "It's solved."
Xin Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. You can go back and rest when you are tired."
Xiao Chengyi bowed respectfully, then turned and walked out.
In the garden.
Mu Yun'an was accompanying Brother Sheng a little absent-mindedly, and her heart had already flown to the flower hall. She knew why Xin Ruyi was angry, so she felt even more guilty.
Mu Xuechu advised from the side: "Don't worry, your mother is just hard-spoken and soft-hearted, so she won't really punish Yi'er."
Mu Yun'an pursed his lips: "I also know that mother will not punish Brother Yi, but scolding him will definitely be inevitable. In fact, Brother Yi has done nothing wrong."
Mu Xue was amused when she heard it at first, and couldn't help but joke: "Yi'er has really found a good wife, who protects him like this and feels sorry for him."
Mu Yunan blushed with embarrassment and said, "Auntie, you are making fun of me."
Mu Xuechu wanted to say something more, but when she saw Xiao Chengyi walking out, she calmed down and coughed lightly and said: "Your husband is here, please comfort him as soon as possible."
With that said, he took the three children and left with his servants.
Mu Yun'an turned around and saw Xiao Chengyi approaching. She hurriedly greeted him and called, "Brother Yi."
Xiao Chengyi took three steps and two steps together, stretched out his hand to hug her, and asked with a smile: "Do you miss me?"
Mu Yun'an raised her head and saw that his expression was as usual. She asked worriedly: "Did Mom scold you? It's all my fault. I didn't explain it clearly to her, which made Mom misunderstand you."
Xiao Chengyi vaguely guessed what she was talking about, he sighed and reached out to touch her head and said: "Silly girl, why do you take everything on yourself?
Mom scolded me because I wasn’t good enough, what does that have to do with you?”
Mu Yun'an said: "Brother Yi obviously did a good job."
Xiao Chengyi's heart was filled with emotion when he heard these words. His Yan Yan really protected him without any bottom line.
He chuckled, took her hand and held it in his and asked, "What did you do during the few days I was away?"
