“Your Highness.” He Lian Zhang quickly stood up and bowed to pay his respects upon seeing Zong Zheng Lin enter the room dressed in a dark cyan regular attire.
“Why, is the tea not brewed well?” Zong Zheng Lin didn’t immediately instruct him to rise. His gaze fell on the teacup beside his hand, which contained floral tea brewed by Mu Xi Yao with ‘great care’. There was still over half of it remaining.
It seemed that the head of He Lian House failed to appreciate Mu Xi Yao’s tea-making skills.
The Little Golden Dragon felt hopeful and spoke with more excitement.
People always choose soft persimmons to squeeze1, and dealing with the Western Inner World was much easier than the Eastern one.
In the evening, Cheng Qing finally got to see his dad, whom he loved to cuddle with the most. His cheerfulness made Mu Xi Yao feel slightly jealous.
This clever child had a sharp little mind. Despite Zong Zheng Lin being away for so many days, he still recognized him. As soon as he saw his dad, Cheng Qing tumbled down with a thud, but luckily the Sixth Highness acted quickly. Otherwise, the little bun would have gotten a bump on his head.
Mu Xi Yao was quite curious about the private conversation Zong Zheng Lin had with He Lian Min Min. Unfortunately, the boss didn’t allow her to inquire further and only said that things she should worry about had been taken care of. Afterward, she only needed to rest peacefully in Danruo Courtyard until she gave birth.
Mu Xi Yao pouted. This was a classic case of the boss destroying the bridge after crossing the river1. He had just returned, but already left her with no place to stand. She was about to continue pestering him when she was scared into silence by the words coming above her head.
On Lu’s rescue boat, the two brothers were like a chicken talking to a duck1. The air between the two was barely a happy and harmonious one.
On the boat of the navy rescue team, the Squad Leader looked at Luoxi hesitantly, “Are you sure you don’t need to go to the hospital for an examination?”
Has His Highness returned? He Lian Min Min was suddenly startled. Her first reaction was not joy but panic.
“Mistress, why do you look so troubled? Isn’t His Highness’s return something to be happy for? Now that there is a pillar in the residence, you don’t have to endure gossip and criticism from others, do you?” Feng Momo didn’t understand He Lian Min Min’s worries, so she comforted her based on her own perspective.
Li Wei scratched his head, uncertainly saying: “I have an uncle who is involved in the restoration and identification of cultural relics. I seem to have seen similar drawings at his place before. This bracelet used to be worn by an Empress on the auspicious day of her coronation, and its exquisite craftsmanship left an impression on me. However, I had heard that it has long been lost, reportedly taken away by foreigners a hundred years ago…”
Mu Xi Yao blinked with those dark and shiny eyes of hers, her brows furrowed, staring at Wei Zhen until he quickly lowered his head.
With this kind of appearance, it was no wonder His Highness couldn’t hold out against her. Fortunately, Master was not present at the moment, otherwise, he would have received another cold gaze.
