Tan Ge felt a sense of loss when she heard the word ‘family’. The current Tan Residence is nothing like a family; it only seeks to heartlessly use me like a tool. I don’t feel warm at all; there’s only bone-piercing coldness. Tan Ge laughed. “Chao Mu, I’m fine. Prince Hao is actually doing this to protect Su Xi-er. He’s …

Gradually, Pei Qianhao loosened his grip. So, it appears that he was talking in his sleep. Still, thinking about me even when he’s asleep… it’s nice to know that he really cherishes me. Su Xi-er gave him one final glance before walking out of the room. As she closed the door behind her, she heard some rustling sounds in the …

The corners of Pei Qianhao’s mouth were suddenly curled up. “It’s indeed not appropriate for this Prince to invite envoys from other nations, but that doesn’t mean that it’s impossible. If you want it to be a grand procession, this Prince will follow your wishes.” Su Xi-er looked at him in surprise. I didn’t expect him to agree. Isn’t he …

With a placid expression, Xie Yun sat down opposite of her and asked in a provocative tone, “This Prince wants to hear, why do I not have any chance of success?” “If you did, you wouldn’t be as desperate as to try attacking this servant. Attacking a woman like this is usually a tactic of last resort.” Su Xi-er responded …

Seeing Wu Ling’s baffled expression, Pei Qianhao continued. “Watch over Su Xi-er and make sure she doesn’t leave the residence. If you can’t do the job right, your position of commander will be rescinded.” Wu Ling widened his eyes. I won’t need to do anything except stay in the Prince Hao Residence and make sure Su Xi-er doesn’t leave the …

Hong Li understood and swiftly departed in the same direction as Ruo Yuan. Wu Ling was still being pestered by Ye Qingzhu, and could only helplessly signal at Su Xi-er with his eyes to help him. However, Su Xi-er shook her head and instead turned to walk deeper into the backyard. Wu Ling was at his wit’s end. In the …

“Come and sit on this Prince’s lap; this Prince will tell you.” Pei Qianhao’s voice was calm as he picked up a teacup from the table, taking a small sip. Su Xi-er looked at the spacious courtyard. “It’s my first time here in the main courtyard; I should at least go out and take a look.” Pei Qianhao didn’t respond, …

“Don’t bring up such nonsense. I like him, but that doesn’t mean that I have to be with him at all costs.” Ruo Yuan cast a sidelong glance at Hong Li. She was clear about her own status. Commander Wu’s status is too high for me to dream of matching up. Unbeknownst to herself, Ruo Yuan had easily given logic …

The guard bowed. “This subordinate accepts the order.” Xie Yun nodded, and walked towards his own courtyard. He hadn’t expected that Pei Qianhao would actually look for Xie Liuli. This marriage can’t be allowed to fail just like this. The key here is Pei Zheng. With how powerful Pei Qianhao is growing, his adopted father must be growing more and …

“Empress Dowager, you can see for yourself. It’s hideous, and all of its features have been distorted.” The palace maid described fearfully. I didn’t see it personally, but I heard about it from others who swear that they have. Pei Yaran flung her sleeves and walked out of the Compassionate Peace Palace. When she reached the courtyard, she was greeted …
