Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu’s face turned pale as well, fully understanding why Jiang Li didn’t want him to contact Qingqing.
This was to prevent trouble from falling upon him.
"But both elder sister and younger sister have already married into the Yang Family. Now it seems too late to back out, and, Father, by doing this, aren’t you offending the Marquis?"
"A married daughter is like spilled water. Besides, I never considered being able to protect the whole family, but the Jiang family bloodline must be preserved..."
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Yu and said, "While Tengluo isn’t married over yet, your ties with the Yang Family are still not deep. Maybe you can get out."
"Father..."
...
Yang Residence.
At the entrance.
"Madam, Madam..."
Sun Meng shouted towards inside the mansion, trying to barge in but was stopped by the guards of the Yang Residence.
"Let me go, I want to see our madam."
"There’s no madam of yours here, move along now, or don’t blame us for being rude."
"How dare you."
"Heh, hit him."
"Stop..."
Just as the atmosphere became tense, the steward of the Yang Residence came out, reprimanded the guards, and bowed to Sun Meng: "General Sun."
Sun Meng recognized him, as it wasn’t his first time there, and said without much politeness, "Where is our madam? It’s May already, she should return to the Capital now."
"General Sun, don’t be anxious. Miss said that she is very reluctant to part with the Marquis and madam and plans to stay a bit longer at home," the steward smiled.
"You told me the same thing last time, get out of the way, I want to see our madam."
"..."
In the hall of the Yang family’s rear courtyard.
"Marquis, he left, but this time I was really forced by him and gave him an exact time, mid-June," the steward said to Yang Xian.
Yang Xian was enjoying a cup of tea, and after putting down the teacup, he said, "Got it."
At this moment, a maid hurriedly walked in, saying, "Marquis, it’s not good, Miss is causing trouble again."
Yang Xian frowned, got up, and walked towards Yang Qingqing’s room.
In Yang Qingqing’s chamber.
"Father, let me out, I want to return to the Capital. By doing this, you’ll only anger him further. He truly will send troops against the Shu Residence, Father..."
Yang Qingqing was shouting outside the door, while inside her room was a complete mess.
Vases, inkstones, jade pen holders, everything that could be smashed had already been smashed to pieces by Yang Qingqing.
She was locked in and couldn’t get out.
Not only that, but her cultivation was also restricted, making it impossible to break the door.
"Let me out." Yang Qingqing kept banging on the door.
Before being with Chen Mo, when Yang Qingqing first arrived at the Chen Mansion, she always hoped for the current outcome.
Yang Qingqing valued her chastity greatly, and after being with Chen Mo, coupled with having some fondness for the feel, she didn’t want to stay in the Shu Residence anymore and wanted to return soon.
But Yang Xian didn’t allow her to return and locked her in.
This made Yang Qingqing anxious. On one hand, she wanted to return, and on the other, she feared that Chen Mo might send troops against the Shu Residence since she hadn’t returned in so long.
She didn’t want anything to happen to her father.
At least by returning to Chen Mo, she could still speak for her father.
No response was given from outside the room amid Yang Qingqing’s banging and shouting.
Just as Yang Qingqing was a bit exhausted from shouting,
footsteps came from outside, and soon the door opened, revealing Yang Xian’s figure to Yang Qingqing.
Upon seeing Yang Xian, Yang Qingqing’s anxious voice carried a trace of helpless sobbing: "Father, what exactly are you trying to do? The situation in the world is already so clear, why can’t you understand, why must you oppose King Wei?"
"Qingqing, before you married over, you weren’t like this. Didn’t expect that in such a short time, he subdued you." Yang Xian sighed. He knew Yang Qingqing’s wild nature, over the years in the Shu Residence, she rarely listened to him, and now she’s changed.
As for the world’s situation, how could Yang Xian not understand, it’s just that he understood too well, that he couldn’t overcome the barrier in his heart.
The foundation of the Shu Residence is a hard-earned legacy over decades, how could he hand it over easily in just a word.
The key point is, King Wei is his son-in-law, he had supported him at the crucial moment, yet now he doesn’t acknowledge it at all, showing no regard.
He considered Chen Mo an ungrateful person, unwilling to let him have it so easily.
"Father, you’re not his opponent. To be honest, he’s already in the Divine Transformation Realm, with so many troops under his command. Even though the Shu Residence has natural dangers, it won’t hold them. Father, do you really want to go to war?" Yang Qingqing persuaded earnestly.
Looking at his daughter’s anxious and flustered expression, Yang Xian sighed deeply: "Qingqing, you can return."
Yang Qingqing’s eyes brightened, and just as she was about to speak, Yang Xian added, "But you need to deliver some words for your father."
...
Time flows like water, and over a month quickly passed.
Morning.
A thick fog had enveloped Tianchuan City.
The milky-white fog covered the courtyard of Prince Wei’s Mansion.
In the master bedroom.
Chen Mo looked at Yu Zhu, who was soundly asleep. This beauty, with bronze skin and a fiery figure, was a delight both to hold and to behold.
Yu Zhu clung tightly to Chen Mo, draping a strong leg over him.
Chen Mo carefully moved Yu Zhu’s leg off him and turned to the other side.
Yue Ruyan was asleep on the inside, lying on her side with her back to him, clutching the quilt with her legs. The weather now made covering with a quilt uncomfortable, so her entire back was exposed to Chen Mo’s view, with her round, perky figure visible...
Glancing down, Chen Mo was briefly lost in thought and, regardless of whether Yue Ruyan was awake, he snuggled up to her.
Yue Ruyan, having an early biological clock, was not in a deep sleep. Feeling the changes in her body, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes opened a sliver, and she let out a light hum.
Seeing that Ruyan was awake, Chen Mo turned her face around and kissed her before she could speak.
"Mmm..." Yue Ruyan’s eyes widened slightly, a look of shyness on her face.
This person never tires.
But she was already used to it.
...
When they got up, it was already 7:00 AM.
As Chen Mo left the master bedroom, Wu Mi, adorned in elegant clothes, quickly approached with a smile on her face.
Seeing the yellow scroll in Wu Mi’s hand, Chen Mo asked, "A decree from the palace?"
Wu Mi stepped forward, nodded with a smile, and handed the Holy Decree to Chen Mo, "In the morning court, Chancellor Geng and Lord Zuo informed Your Majesty of your achievements, deeming King Wei unworthy of you, my husband.
After the court session, His Majesty decreed his abdication; it’s the Decree of Abdication."
Chen Mo’s expression grew serious upon hearing this, he opened the Holy Decree and after reading for a moment, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Husband, what’s wrong?" Wu Mi asked.
"This Decree of Abdication lacks sincerity." Chen Mo handed the Holy Decree back to Wu Mi, saying, "Give it to Chancellor Geng, he will know what to do."
"Lacks sincerity?" Wu Mi was taken aback, thinking her husband might decline, but he instead said that, leaving her somewhat puzzled. She nodded.
...
The Decree of Abdication for Chen Mo quickly reached Geng Songfu’s hands.
Of course, when Wu Mi had it sent over, she did not convey the "lack of sincerity" mentioned by Chen Mo, nor any refusal, saying nothing at all.
At that time, Zuo Lianglun, Chen Cultivator, and Wu Yanqing were also present. Seeing the returned Decree of Abdication, they were all taken aback.
Wu Yanqing asked, "Chancellor Geng, what does Prince Wei mean by this?"
Geng Songfu first opened it to read, seeing no special marks on it, he pondered a moment, then fondling his beard, he laughed, "The Prince wants to refuse three times before accepting, it seems."
