As soon as Leng Zian said these words, Luo Lan's expression suddenly changed. He not only blamed Liu Mei, but Prince Yu's Mansion also accepted his scolding.
Although Leng Yuer's face was also deserted for a while, due to his identity, he did not say much.
Luo Lan took two steps forward, held back his anger, frowned and said loudly:
"Uncle Huang, what you said is not pleasant to hear. Why did Liu Mei leave your side with her belly full? You must know the reason better than anyone. A woman who is penniless, if she is not forced to have no choice, how can she Are you willing to leave your hometown? How can you be willing to live without a fixed place?"
Having said this, she took a long breath. Seeing that Leng Zian wanted to stop her from speaking, she took the lead and continued:
"The reason why their mother and son came to my Prince Yu's Mansion is because Liu Meier was seriously ill and almost lost her life. As a stranger, I have no reason to ignore death. As her man, when I meet her, Have you ever asked her how her life has been over the past few years? Do you know what suffering she has suffered? Do you know how much suffering she has suffered? You came up and wanted to take away the son she had worked so hard to raise. Don’t you think it was too cruel for you to do so? Yet?"
"you……"
Listening to her fierce words, Leng Zi'an pointed at her, gritted his teeth, stared at her and roared,
"You are a country woman, no wonder she has become so bold. It seems you are the one who instigated her."
Listening to his choking words, Luo Lan glared and said angrily without hesitation:
"So what if it was me who instigated her? She has never mentioned anything about her to me before, but I know it now. I think as a woman, Liu Mei is great. She brought up Xiaozhi by herself, without any support. You have never married anyone and never remarried. On the contrary, you enjoy yourself in your palace all day long, surrounded by groups of women. Have you ever thought about how well their mother and son are doing? When they live in the open, what can you, the father, do for them? What are you living for? Now you come in and want to pick up such a big son for nothing. What you think is really simple. "
"you……"
Her words once again stimulated a nerve in Leng Zian's mind. He blushed, pointed at her, and said angrily again:
"You are simply not big or small. I am Yu'er's uncle after all. How dare you talk to me like this?"
"Since the emperor knows that he is an elder, he should act like an elder. You do this to make us juniors feel ashamed."
Luo Lan's words instantly made the face of Leng Zian, who had always been arrogant and domineering, turn as cold as ice.
Ever since he established himself as king, no one has dared to speak to him like this. Now, this country woman dares to criticize him? This is just... just so infuriating.
Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, Leng Yu took a step forward, cupped his fists at Leng Zian and said:
"Uncle, Lan'er's words are a bit abrupt, but they also make sense. Yu'er believes that although Xiaozhi is your son, he has been living abroad since he was born, and he must not have recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan, so today's New Year's banquet will be held for him It’s not suitable to participate yet. He is a child after all. You are a stranger to him. Wanting to coax him to call you daddy is not something that happens overnight. Let’s take it slow. It’s getting late now. Let’s prepare first. Come into the palace."
Leng Yu's words calmed down Leng Zian, who was about to get angry.
There is some truth in what he said, but he was too reckless. He only thought about letting Xiaozhi enter the palace to gain face for himself, but he forgot that he didn't recognize himself as his father at all.
So, he glanced at Xiaozhi, then gave Luo Lan a hard look, then rolled up his sleeves and shouted sternly:
"Come here, let me change my clothes and prepare to enter the palace."
After saying that, he strode away and headed towards the west wing where he was.
Leng Yu and Luo Lan said hello and went to change into the palace clothes.
Seeing them leaving, Liu Mei hurriedly got up from the ground. She came to Luo Lan, wiped the tears on her face, and said softly:
"Thank you, Princess, for speaking for me just now. It's just...he's just a petty person. If you conflicted with him with your words, he won't let it go."
Luo Lan touched Xiaozhi's head, pursed his lips and chuckled:
"It's okay. He has disliked me since he entered the house. It makes no difference whether I tell or not. Besides, what I tell is the truth. Regardless of whether he can listen to it or not, he must know this truth. "
Liu Mei had tears in her eyes. She raised her handkerchief to wipe away her tears and said softly:
"I thought we could live a stable life like this. I thought he would never come to the capital. Who would have thought that he would just come and live in the palace. It seems that all this is fate, and it should be in fate. You can’t hide even if you want to.”
After hearing what she said, Luo Lan raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, saying softly:
"Since you can't escape, then don't escape. After all, he is Xiaozhi's biological father. If you meet him, he will risk his life to bring you back. Instead of you desperately opposing it, why not give him a chance? Maybe you When he goes back, will he become worse than before?"
Her words silenced Liu Mei. She nodded slightly and replied softly:
"I will consider what you say. It's getting late. Princess, please go change."
Luo Lan looked at her with a smile on his face, then touched Xiaozhi's head and said playfully:
"Actually speaking, I should call you Aunt Huang, and I should call you Brother Xiaozhi."
Liu Mei lowered her head in embarrassment, while Xiao Zhi pouted, looking unhappy.
Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Lan didn't say anything more to them. A Cai and A Hong had already prepared the clothes she would wear when entering the palace, and put on makeup for her beautifully.
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Luo Lan raised her hand to caress her delicate jade face, with a gentle smile on her lips.
A Cai couldn't help but muttered while tutting her lips:
"The princess is so beautiful, her beauty has never been seen before or since."
Luo Lan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How beautiful is it? It's just that you are used to it."
"That's not true. The princess is beautiful and the prince is handsome. Together, you are a perfect match."
Ah Cai's words made Ah Hong dissatisfied. She glanced at her mouth, glared at her, and said disdainfully:
"What a sycophant."
Ah Cai, however, glared back at her indifferently, "You are just a flatterer. I am telling the truth. Then you say that the princess is not beautiful? Isn't the prince handsome?"
Ah Cai's words really made Ah Hong feel speechless.
Luo Lan couldn't help but narrow her eyes and interrupt them. She raised her hand to straighten the broken hair on her chest and said softly:
"Okay, you guys should hurry up and get ready, we're going to leave soon."
Upon seeing this, Ah Cai and Ah Hong looked at each other and smiled, then ran back to the room to change clothes.
After a while, several carriages stopped at the door of Prince Yu's Mansion. Leng Zian insisted on riding. Before leaving, he told the guards he brought to surround Prince Yu's Mansion, and sent two people to follow Xiaozhi at all times to prevent Liu Mei runs away with him.
