Long Live the Empress

Chapter 105: Returning Home

"Miss Yue, have you thought about the consequences of not returning to Beijing last night?" Yan Liyuan asked casually, thinking about the secret letter from the secret guard.

Yue Jinghao smiled slightly, "The worst that can happen is that someone with ulterior motives will use this incident to ruin my daughter's reputation and make the prince cancel the engagement."

That's all? If an ordinary woman encountered one of these things, she would feel ashamed and a woman with a strong temper might even commit suicide.

"Then how should Miss Yue break the impasse?"

Yue Jinghao adjusted the white jade hairpin on her temples and said, "The person who set up the trap also helped me a lot. Is that right, Nine Thousand Years Old?"

Yan Liyuan smiled coldly, "Then how should Miss Yue thank me?"

Yue Jinghao pointed at the teacup and said, "I've already thanked you!"

“Hahahaha…” Yan Liyuan stood up and walked out, “Then I’ll be waiting for Miss Yue’s triumphant return!”

"Farewell, Your Majesty!" Yue Jinghao bowed with a smile and watched Yan Liyuan leave.

"Miss, she's back!" Nanny Hong walked in and reported to Yue Jinghao.

"Oh? That's even more interesting! Pack up and go back to Beijing!" Yue Jinghao looked at Yan Liyuan's back in the distance and smiled faintly.

Yuefu

Yue Hanwen was teased by his colleagues again after leaving court today. He locked himself in the study room when he came back and swept the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk to the floor.

"What's wrong with the master?" Su Hongfu looked at the mess on the ground and knew how angry Yue Hanwen was at the moment.

Yue Hanwen was never willing to get angry with Su Hongfu, so he told her what happened today.

Su Hongfu pondered for a moment, "Master, the eldest lady is still the legitimate daughter of the family. I believe that the eldest lady knows her limits! Besides, rumors are not to be believed! When the eldest lady comes back and asks, the truth will be revealed, Master~"

Yue Hanwen couldn't stand Su Hongfu's coquettishness. Her screams made Yue Hanwen feel hot all over.

"What Fu'er said makes sense! Let's all listen to Fu'er!" Yue Hanwen said as he was about to kiss Su Hongfu's face, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Master, the second young lady is back!" the servant reported.

Yue Jinghong is back? Su Hongfu was thinking about it, and took Yue Hanwen's arm, "Master, the second young lady has finally returned from the general's residence. Let's go and see her. Hey, I wonder if the second young lady has lost weight or gained weight... If she has lost weight, it's fine, but if she has gained weight... won't others say that the second young lady was treated harshly in our Yue Mansion in the past?"

Su Hongfu's voice was so gentle that Yue Hanwen felt more and more comfortable the more he listened to it. He also felt that her words made more and more sense, so he took Su Hongfu to the front hall.

At this time, Yue Jinghong had already greeted the old lady and was sitting down to introduce the supplements he brought back from the headquarters to the old lady.

Today, Yue Jinghong is wearing a peach pink chiffon skirt with bright pearls dotted on the hem of her skirt, making her already stunningly beautiful face even more alluring!

Yue Hanwen was slightly stunned when he saw Yue Jinghong, whom he hadn't seen for more than a month. His second daughter was getting more and more beautiful! Who knows what will happen in the future...

Just as Yue Hanwen thought of this, he saw Su Hongfu helping Yue Jinghong up from the ground, "Don't blame me, Second Miss. The master missed her too much, so he forgot to let her get up!"

Su Hongfu's words were nothing more than a way to give Yue Hanwen a way out. Yue Hanwen quickly followed Su Hongfu's words and said, "Yes, yes, I haven't seen Jinghong for a long time. Are you doing well in the General's Mansion?"

Yue Jinghong covered her lips and chuckled, "Father, seeing that Jinghong has gained some weight, I know that my uncle has taken good care of his daughter!"

Yue Jinghong's words were originally fine, but with Su Hongfu's words in front of him, Yue Hanwen's face suddenly drooped. "Don't stay with outsiders casually in the future. If others know about this, they will think that our Yue Mansion is shabby and that the young lady can't get enough food and has to rely on begging to survive!"

Yue Jinghong's face froze for a moment. How did her uncle become an outsider? How did she become a beggar if she stayed at her uncle's house for a few days?
