Tang Zhuyun was furious when she heard this.
"How dare he!"
How dare they covet the Mingzhu! Prince of Ding should take a good look at himself.
So, who does the Prince of Jin intend to appoint?
Ren Yingying said she didn't know either; wasn't she just waiting for Prince of Jin to make the arrangements?
Tang Zhuyun said, "Then we'll ask later. Hanxiang, go ask if the Prince knows that the Heir to the Prince of Min has returned? Should we invite him over for dinner tonight?"
There must be some conspiracy among the men.
Qu Nian is currently talking to Mu Ziyu.
Of course, he wouldn't be as frivolous as he was in front of Qu Hua.
As an older brother, he still cares a lot about his younger sister's future happiness.
Mu Ziyu was also very frank, admitting that the two had already had a relationship, but there were some discrepancies about who initiated it.
Qu Nian couldn't dwell on this point, because, strictly speaking, he was actually quite pleased with the current situation.
Mu Ziyu is a good match for Qu Hua in terms of status, personal ability, and character.
Moreover, Mu Ziyu also said that in the future, Qu Hua doesn't necessarily have to serve her in-laws; he can stay in the capital.
Every family has its own troubles, and the Prince of Liaodong's Residence's Mansion is no exception.
The current Prince of Liaodong is the Prince of Liaodong, while Mu Ziyu is the daughter of the first wife...
Moreover, Mu Ziyu's biological mother is still alive.
Indeed, the divorce of the Prince of Liaodong shocked the court and the public.
Mu Ziyu's mother became a bandit after the divorce...
In short, it was a spectacular event.
Mu Ziyu, despite being the eldest son, was constantly reminded of the "humiliation" of the Prince of Liaodong, putting him in an awkward position.
Therefore, Mu Ziyu did not want to return to Liaodong.
"Then what about your position as heir apparent?"
Mu Ziyu didn't care about it. "My stepmother was making things difficult for me before, trying to take my place for her son. I pretended to be clueless, but I didn't let her succeed..."
His stepmother wanted to spoil him, so he went along with it.
But now that I've met someone I like, I feel that competing for those things is nowhere near as enjoyable as spending time with the person I like.
"If they want the title of heir apparent, then give it back to them." Mu Ziyu's expression turned cold.
What does he like about Qu Hua?
I admire Qu Hua's unrestrained spirit.
He was unwilling to use the royal palace to bind her.
He likes unconventional women.
Just now, Qu Nian had subtly probed him, asking if he minded Qu Hua's past.
He doesn't mind.
Without his involvement, how Qu Hua chooses to live her past is her own business.
Qu Hua had never broken up any families, so how was her taking advantage of her own guards any different from many male masters favoring their maids?
He didn't care about things like chastity.
Given his status and position, how many women's first time could he not get? But it's not worth it; he doesn't like it.
He loved Qu Hua so much that he shamelessly pursued her, racking his brains to get close to her and want to possess her.
Qu Hua was also sacrificing her freedom, so Mu Ziyu felt he had no right to ask about Qu Hua's past.
Qu Hua owes him nothing.
Later, when he wanted to possess Qu Hua, he offered everything he had in exchange.
However, Qu Nian strongly disagreed with Mu Ziyu's words.
Can a man still be called a man if he doesn't have a career?
Mu Ziyu replied, "Everyone has their own ambitions. If I am penniless, I will become her bodyguard. Perhaps I can use my beauty to win her over."
There was a hint of a joke in those words.
Qu Nian: Okay, I wish you happiness.
May he be blessed if he can bring Qu Hua back to the right path.
--Don't spout nonsense about men messing around and women doing it too. In the Prince of Min's Residence, neither men nor women can mess around!
Can you win someone's heart by acting recklessly?
Overall, Qu Nian was fairly satisfied with his brother-in-law.
He stood up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the Prince of Jin's Residence to meet him."
The Prince of Liaodong is incompetent; we might as well not have the position of heir apparent.
We must earn our title through our own merit!
Qu Nian may not have many merits, but protecting himself is definitely one of the most important.
Just as Qu Hua was starting to feel a bit better after being Yanran, she saw that her two "enemies" had actually come together, looking perfectly harmonious, and she was so angry that she went looking for a brick to throw at them.
This brother, this man, she'll smash them with a brick each!
After the party ended that evening, Ren Yingying still wanted to linger with Tang Zhuyun and talk to her.
They could talk for three days and three nights straight!
The Prince of Jin glanced at Qu Nian: "Take your woman with you."
Qu Nian glared back defiantly. "It's your territory, you can chase people away."
The Prince of Jin ignored him, but instead called Linlin over.
The eleven-year-old boy had grown tall and strong, already reaching the shoulder of the Prince of Jin.
"Father has had too much to drink. Help Father see the Crown Prince off," Prince of Jin said meaningfully.
Seeing his provocative gaze, Qu Nian was furious.
This guy is clearly showing off that his son is grown up while he himself doesn't.
Malicious and wicked!
"Ren Yingying, let's go!" Qu Nian shouted impatiently, "If you don't leave, your dog will jump into the pot and nobody will care."
The Dog Meat shuddered.
What does your argument have to do with the dog?
Recently, it's clearly a dog that's been hurt, and heartbroken too!
Xiaobai...
It's not that I didn't know it wasn't a dog, but true love can transcend species!
Wolves and dogs are close relatives!
Thinking about this makes Dog Meat very sad.
Perhaps Qu Nian had a change of heart?
He squatted down, picked up the Dog Meat, and stroked its little head, saying, "I had someone find you a few female puppies. They were delivered to the Prince's mansion a few days ago. Go back and choose one."
Dog Meat: "Awoo--"
Perhaps, it can!
Ren Yingying looked at Qu Nian as if he were a villain who had forcibly taken advantage of her.
But in the end, she left reluctantly. "Tangbao, I'll come again tomorrow. Don't go anywhere, just wait for me at home."
Qu Hua a light scoff.
"What are you laughing at!" Ren Yingying said fiercely.
"Laugh at those who are delusional," Qu Hua said coolly, before being pulled away by Mu Ziyu.
Qu Nian shamelessly squeezed into Ren Yingying's carriage again.
Ren Yingying asked him about the little female dog, "You're still dreaming!"
Last time he said he turned into a dog, and that the Dog Meat was in heat and had taken a fancy to a Xiaobai. Now he's bringing over a little female dog... I really don't know what's going on in his head all day long.
Qu Nian: It's all filled with you.
But he's better now and never mentions turning into a dog again.
Let's just assume he was talking in his sleep.
Qu Nian said pitifully, "Yingying, Prince of Jin is trying to make me angry, he's deliberately trying to make me angry, did you notice? He's showing off to me that he has a fine son, and I don't!"
"You didn't have any to begin with." Ren Yingying rolled her eyes.
"I can have it!"
Why not? Don't you have any self-awareness?
"Yes, you can have it. Do you want some ready-made?" Ren Yingying shoved the Dog Meat into Qu Nian's arms. "Dog Meat, call me daddy!"
Dog Meat: "Woof woof woof!"
Qu Nian: "..."
Damn it!
Even so, Qu Nian still didn't throw the Dog Meat back.
It's alright, he's uniting all forces that can be united!
The dog son is here, so how far away is the real son?
