Chapter 28 Melon 1: The Emperor’s illegitimate son?

"To the point where you don't know what's going on?"

The old Duke glared at his ignorant grandson fiercely and said fiercely: "Get lost, get lost, don't get in my way!"

Xiao Yan pretended to be hit and tried to make the old man laugh.

The servant next to him was so shocked that his jaw dropped. No, this was the first time he saw his young master being so attentive to a woman.

When they walked out of the Duke's Courtyard, he could no longer hold back and was about to speak: "Master, you..."

"If you don't want your tongue, cut it off."

The boy who had seemed so lively and cheerful just now had a cold face and spoke in a very aggressive tone.

The servant thought that his tongue was more important and immediately learned to shut up.

When the news came out, stepmother Jiang was also shocked.

To be precise, apart from shock, Jiang was more angry and jealous.

"The old man is biased!"

Jiang threw a set of tea sets heavily, and her elegant and gentle face could no longer maintain her usual mask.

The old man joined the army at the age of fourteen and fought on the battlefield for decades. I wonder how many treasures he has in his private treasury.

But his yard has always been strictly managed, and others dare not covet it.

But there is Xiao Yan, a sweet-mouthed but evil-hearted person who is used to giving the old man drugs and is smooth-talking all day long. I don't know how many good things he has coaxed away.

Even Master Xiao can't compare to him!

In other words, ever since her husband forced her to marry him as his co-wife despite the old man's opposition, the old man has been dissatisfied with the couple and his attitude towards them has always been lukewarm.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have refused to confer the title of Crown Prince on her husband even after her child got married.

And what about her?
Even though that woman had been dead for ten years, and she had been in charge of the Duke's Mansion for ten years, she was still no match for the old man in his heart!
But if she was treated this way alone, Jiang could still tolerate it.

But her Xun Ge'er is also her father-in-law's grandson!

Why are we treated differently like this?
The servant beside him saw his master's increasingly gloomy face and hurriedly changed the subject: "Madam, have a drink of water. The weather is nice today, do you want to go out and stroll around the garden?"

Jiang didn't answer, and said gloomily, "Where's the young master?"

The girl was stunned: "It is said that the young master of Zhang Jijiu's family made an appointment, and the young master followed to attend the poetry meeting held by the eldest princess."

"Poetry party?"

When mentioning her son, Jiang's expression eased a little.

"Yes, yes, Madam, you know that the Princess always likes to hold poetry gatherings. Her banquet invitations are not easy to get. This time, only dozens of people in the entire capital got them. It's already impressive that the young master was invited."

Another one also said, "That's right. The young master is different from that guy. That guy is a playboy, who spends all day in contact with all kinds of people, cheap things that are not presentable, and has a bad reputation. If he can't please the old man, how can he live?

Unlike our young master, who has been well-read since childhood, he is a recognized talent in the capital, as famous as the prime minister's son! When the imperial examination comes next year, the young master will bring back a champion for you, and then you will be the wife of the champion. I wonder how many matchmakers will come to propose marriage..."

Jiang finally had a hint of smile on her face: "My Xun Ge'er is naturally different."

But the smile wasn't too deep.

Although the current emperor has vigorously supported scholars taking the imperial examinations and suppressed powerful families in order to seize power from the aristocratic families, the status of scholars taking the imperial examinations has risen sharply in recent years.

But the Weiguo Mansion is different. The Weiguo Duke is a super-rank duke, and his title will never be demoted as long as his descendants do not commit any crimes.

Being the top scholar sounds good, but it is just icing on the cake. How can it compare to the real title of Duke?
But Jiang also knew that there was no time to rush.

The old man was clear-headed and hated conspiracies and intrigues the most. Even for Xun Ge'er, she had to endure it.

But sooner or later, one day...

She will get back all the grievances she has suffered over the years!
-
Yue Xianhua woke up and found that Xiao Yan had not come back.

I was inexplicably surprised, thinking that he was not planning to come back today just like before.

The little girl didn't know what she was thinking. She just watched the lady wake up and lean lazily against the head of the bed, her long satin hair scattered behind her, making her face look even more soft and delicate, and extremely beautiful.

"Madam, are you hungry? Would you like some food?"

Yue Xianhua came back to her senses and touched her belly.

Not to mention, she was actually a little hungry after not eating for the whole day.

So he nodded in agreement.

Not long after, the food was served.

Looking at the table full of dishes, she was slightly absent-minded. Seeing this, Qing'er beside her explained, "There is a small kitchen in Qingfeng Courtyard. The housekeeper said that Madam can order anything she wants to eat."

Yue Xianhua nodded, but was a little surprised.

Even in the past, when she lived in the Marquis' Mansion, she did not have a separate kitchenette.

This person's life is really carefree.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden noise outside, and soon he heard the little girl's voice: "Greetings, young master..."

Yue Xianhua stopped his hand which was about to touch the bamboo chopsticks and frowned slightly.

"What is this doing?"

"Madam, are you awake?"

Yue Xianhua went outside and saw the handsome young man who was commanding his subordinates. They both spoke at the same time, and their voices overlapped.

"Give my wife a present."

Xiao Yan smiled and made room for the seat behind him.

Then Yue Xianhua saw a coral bonsai that was half a person’s height placed in the corner. It was bright red and beautiful, with a unique shape.

Even though she claimed to have seen a lot of good things, she couldn't help but admire it.

"This is……"

Before she finished speaking, someone walked up to her and hugged her from behind. He put his chin on her shoulder and said proudly:
"Do you like it? I stole it from Grandpa's private vault for you."

"what?"

Yue Xianhua looked back at him with eyes wide open. The cute boy couldn't help but give him a kiss because of his innocent look.

Then he asked again: "So do you like it? If you like it, I will continue later."

Yue Xianhua restrained her expression for a moment. Although she knew that this person was teasing her on purpose, she still subconsciously raised her hand to cover his mouth and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."

It’s just that the voice is too soft and gentle, just like a spoiled child.

Xiao Yan just raised his eyebrows and was about to say something when he saw the beauty put down her hand and pushed him away: "I don't want it, send it back."

He really laughed: "I was just kidding you. Grandpa gave it to me, I didn't steal it. Let's go, I'm starving, let's go eat."

Yue Xianhua wanted to say something, but the boy didn't even give her a chance to speak. He just took her soft little hand and walked towards the table.

Seeing the table full of dishes, he smiled brightly: "My wife knew I was coming back, so she prepared this specially, right?"

Having said that, he sat down directly.

Yue Xianhua wanted to say something, but seeing the young man eating quickly, he looked very hungry.

She sighed inexplicably and asked the servant to leave first.

“That basin…”

"Grandpa knows that you've been wronged, so he asked me to bring it to comfort you."

As if he knew what she was going to say, Xiao Yan said it directly.

Yue Xianhua was obviously stunned.

Of course she didn't believe him, but perhaps because it had been too long since she heard someone trying to "comfort" her, the girl's nose felt slightly sour and she felt like crying. She subconsciously lowered her head to suppress the tears.

Then she tried to remind him in a calm tone: "That's because the Duke doesn't know my true background yet. When the time comes... well."

Before he could finish his words, a shadow suddenly fell in front of him, and the man actually kissed him directly.

Yue Lu was dumbfounded, not knowing whether to call him shameless or to despise him for being so dirty that he dared to kiss her while eating!
The young man seemed to be oblivious to her shame and anger, and finished his words with a smile:
"I am the one who married you, not the Duke of Wei. As long as your husband doesn't mind, then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. People like me, Xiao Yan, never need to care about other people's opinions. Remember that?"

Looking at the unbridled and confident smiling face in front of him, Yue Xihua forgot to wipe his mouth for a moment.

She thought she should ridicule him. What right did a playboy who lived off his family's influence say such things to her?
But I can't say it.

Yes, even a playboy without any official title dared to say to her, "He is the one who married her, so he doesn't need to care about other people's opinions", but the person she most wanted to hear never opened his mouth.

Yue Huahua's lips moved slightly, but in the end he said nothing?

"what ever."

She lowered her head, picked up another bowl of rice and began to eat quietly.

Xiao Yan originally thought that with her personality, the girl would open her mouth to refute him, but who knew that the girl just lowered her head and ate quietly.

He looked for a while, but couldn't see anything, so he had to give up for the time being.

"Ma'am, try this dish. I specially asked the chef to learn how to make it. See if it's the same as what you've eaten?"

Yue Xianhua froze, but still managed not to throw the dish away.

She was still not used to this man's familiarity.
-
By night, she still couldn't escape.

Soft jade, warm fragrance, swaying red gauze.

"That's enough. I have to pay my respects to you tomorrow..."

The girl's voice was hoarse.

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the charming and enchanting beauty in his arms.
The Adam's apple moved.
Sweat dripped down her smooth and perfect jaw, and her mind couldn't comprehend what she was saying at all.

He couldn't help but lower his head and wanted to kiss her, but was pushed away:

"No, I still have to greet you. I can't be late again..."

It was not until he was pushed aside that he came back to his senses.

Xiao Yan opened his mouth and wanted to say "No need to go", but when he saw the little girl wrapped in a quilt, she looked like she was about to cry.

He could only hold back, fearing that she would really cry.

"Okay, okay, I won't touch you, I promise..."

He reached out his hands again and held the person in his arms. He lowered his body and coaxed her softly. The slightly hoarse boy's voice was deep and magnetic in the hazy night: "Be good, don't be angry..."

If someone familiar with him saw him whispering and coaxing like this, I wonder how shocked they would be.
-
But even though Yue Xianhua had fought hard, she still overslept the next day.

It was dawn when she suddenly woke up from her sleep.

It’s over, it’s over. She will definitely be late for paying her respects again today!
Be at peace!

She must divorce Xiao Yan!
Qing'er, who heard the noise, came in to serve. As soon as she lifted the bed curtain, she saw the young lady's distressed and angry look.

There were even traces of tears on her exquisite little face, which looked pitiful and charming, and even she, who was used to seeing beautiful young ladies, almost couldn't bear it.

"Asshole, not a human being, bad guy!"

When I walked in, I heard the usually gentle and cold lady actually swearing!
Qing'er was dazed for a moment, but thinking about what happened last night, she lowered her head again: "Miss, do you want to get up?"

The girl who was still cursing froze up without even looking up: "You go out first..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yue Hua realized that his voice was very hoarse and he wanted to curse again!

She didn't say anything, just waved her hand.

Qing'er understood that the young lady wanted to put on her own clothes.

She tactfully withdrew.

As soon as the people left, Yue Xianhua wanted to bury her face in the quilt and scream.

But she held back.

No, even if you are late, you still have to go and pay your respects.

This was the last bit of stubbornness she maintained through years of upbringing.

Seeing those embarrassing marks on her body, she forced herself to pretend not to see them.

It's just a dog bite, no big deal.

Once raw, twice cooked.

God knows how speechless she was when she thought of this sentence.

How long had she been with that person? She felt that her offline level had been lowered a lot.

When the bell rang again, she had already changed her dress.

"Miss, your..."

Qing'er saw the marks on her young lady's neck at a glance and her mouth opened slightly.

Yue Huahua: It’s numb…

"Everyone else go down, Qing'er stays here to serve."

She tried to look calm and natural, but once the people left, her beautiful brows were already furrowed. "Put on my makeup, cover it up with powder."

Qing'er knew her young lady's temper, so she didn't dare to make fun of her, so she nodded quickly to help.

After all the trouble, I can finally see people again.

"Miss, do you want to eat? My uncle has ordered breakfast..."

"Don't mention him!" Yue Huahua realized that his tone was a bit too harsh after he finished speaking, and frowned:
"Never mind the meal, I need to go over and pay my respects to the elders."

Qing'er opened her mouth: "...Okay."
-
On the other side, Jiang, who had waited for the whole morning and whose face had turned completely black, sat on a chair with a fake smile on her face: "Our Second Young Master's wife is different now that she has someone to back her up. She's really stylish."

The girl at the side scolded: "You ignorant little bitch, you are late even in paying respects. If this gets out, people will stab you in the back!"

Jiang: "It's understandable that a young man is getting married and the second young master is young and energetic."

"That's the reincarnation of that vixen from the Yue family. She has no dignity left! I don't know how the Marquis's family raised their daughter. She is so shameless, bah..."

By saying this, they are trying to ruin Yue Hua's reputation.

She's been late for greetings for two consecutive days. She's really got something.
-
On the other side, Yue Xianhua had already taken the time to get dressed and prepared to go there early.

But he was suddenly stopped halfway.

"The palace has sent a reward to congratulate the Second Young Master and his wife on their wedding. It was the eunuch from the palace who came to issue the decree, asking the Second Young Master's wife to hurry up and go to the gate to listen to the decree and express gratitude."

As soon as the man left, Qing'er hurriedly supported her young lady and said, "Young lady, did I hear correctly? Did the palace give a reward?"

Even someone as calm as Qing'er is really excited now.

Just as the old Duke said, the Marquis's Mansion has really been in decline for a long time. The young ladies and ladies have never seen a eunuch, let alone a little girl like her?
"Let's go and take a look first." Yue Xianhua did not smile, but frowned instead.

When we got there, we saw that other people had already arrived.

Xiao Yan was talking to the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict. When he saw her coming, he stopped and looked at her with a smile.

Seeing the strangely familiar postures of these two people, Yue Huahua thought of a rumor -
