Chapter 461 Zhiyan's Sweet Story (Part 3)

Gao Mengli sat upright in her chair, waved her hand, and told Wang Xiaoman to take her away and settle her in.

Wang Xiaoman truly lived up to his reputation as a seasoned traveler, as he actually uncovered Su Wan's treacherous ambitions.

However, this matter is rather tricky.

It would be best to inform the Crown Prince first.

So, Gao Mengli packed her things and entered the East Palace.

Upon hearing the palace servant's announcement, Dou Xiaoxiao rushed out without waiting for anyone to say what he wanted. "It must be that Tian Tian realized her mistake, softened her heart, and came to the East Palace specifically to find me!"

The accompanying father-in-law's face was scrunched up like a crumpled handkerchief, and he was so anxious he was practically choking.

She shuffled after Dou Xiaoxiao, calling out, "My ancestor! Your Highness! Slow down! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

What county princess? That's Lord Gao requesting an audience.

Dou Xiaoxiao walked so fast, like a gust of wind, that her father-in-law couldn't even hold her back. He simply shut his mouth and followed along.

Anyway, His Highness immediately snapped out of his daze upon seeing people.

Dou Xiaoxiao rushed to the door and quickly called out, "Open the door! Tian Tian must have come to her senses and apologize to me!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the figure outside the door slowly raised his eyes.

Gao Mengli's expression was aloof, and every word she had just heard had reached her ears.

The corners of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, then quickly disappeared, leaving him with his eyes lowered in a respectful manner.

Have you figured it out? Have you given in?

So you've been staying out of the palace for half a month, waiting for my future daughter-in-law to apologize to you?

Suddenly, Gao Mengli didn't want to say anything anymore.

Dou Xiaoxiao ran out and then saw who was coming from outside the door.

His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and the joy on his face vanished instantly, as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water.

He hurriedly withdrew his hand, straightened his rumpled robes, and coughed lightly twice, trying to save face: "My lord, what brings you here?"

Gao Mengli looked up at him and gave a slight courtier's salute.

Suddenly, she slapped her forehead, feigning ignorance. "Oh dear, look at my memory! What did I come to see you about? I've completely forgotten..."

"Your Highness, I am getting old and my memory is not very good. Please allow me to go back and think about it before I come back!"

After Gao Mengli finished speaking, she turned and left.

Some people are single for a reason, and they can't blame anyone else.

“Hey, Lord Marquis…”

Hearing Dou Xiaoxiao shouting behind her, Gao Mengli ran even faster.

Dou Xiaoxiao stood there, hands outstretched, watching the official stride quickly, almost turning out of the covered corridor of the East Palace, completely bewildered.

"Your Highness, what are you looking at?" A soft, sweet female voice came from beside her, carrying a hint of coquettish intimacy.

Su Wan stepped forward gracefully and, without the slightest hesitation, took Dou Xiaoxiao's arm, her eyes full of gentle smiles.

Dou Xiaoxiao was startled by her sudden closeness and instinctively tried to break free.

However, Su Wan held him tightly, and out of consideration for appearances, Dou Xiaoxiao could only give up for the time being.

However, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and his tone was utterly indifferent: "What are you doing out here?"

Su Wan knew his aloofness, so she leaned closer to him, her eyes hiding a barely perceptible sense of smugness and pleasure.

If it weren't for Mu Tiantian's day that angered the Crown Prince, causing him to silently drink most of a jar of wine...

She wouldn't have had the chance to get close to the Crown Prince under the pretext of delivering soup, or to climb into his bed while he was drunk, much less be carried into the Eastern Palace so easily.

Seeing the Crown Prince's restless appearance, Su Wan assumed that he was still thinking about Mu Tiantian.

But she felt even more smug inside.

No matter how good it is, it still doesn't have a formal status.

But she was someone who truly entered the Eastern Palace and became the person who accompanied the Crown Prince.

“I saw Your Highness standing here, so I came to take a look.”

Su Wanrou spoke softly, raising her hand to straighten his slightly disheveled robes. "Is Your Highness troubled by something?"

"Why don't you tell me? Although I'm not very bright, I would like to share Your Highness's worries."

Her touch made Dou Xiaoxiao increasingly uncomfortable, and he subtly pulled his arm away from her hand.

He took a half step back, creating some distance: "It's alright. Since you're in the East Palace, stay quietly in your own courtyard and don't wander around the palace corridors."

These words carried a clear sense of distance and admonition, causing Su Wan's face to palate almost imperceptibly.

The smugness in her eyes faded slightly, but she still forced a smile and curtsied: "Your Majesty, I understand. I was just thinking of you and lost my composure."

"Then I will return first to prepare dinner for Your Highness."

As she spoke, she glanced again at the direction of the covered walkway that Dou Xiaoxiao had been staring at.

A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she didn't ask any further questions. She swayed her hips and slowly walked away.

A few days later.

The "family of four" who returned to Wangyue Village stared blankly at the two awkward people in front of them.

Seeing the intense gazes between the two, Gao Mengli quickly closed her eyes.

damned.

Can someone tell her what's going on between Mu Yang and her aunt?

Aunt Lin's face turned bright red, she twisted the hem of her clothes with her hands, and buried her head almost to her chest.

Mu Yang, however, was a bit thick-skinned. His ears turned slightly red, but he put his arm around Aunt Lin's shoulder and solemnly said to the "family of four," "Mengli, Xixi, your aunt and I are sincere. We want to live our lives together."

"The marriage certificate is all done, but I didn't tell you because I wanted to surprise you!"

After hearing this, the "family of four" all raised their hands to cover their faces.

They came back to arrange the marriage between Tian Tian and Zhi Yan, and planned to discuss it with their future father-in-law, Mu Yang.

Gao Mengli lowered her hand, her eyes darting between the two of them three times, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence: "The marriage...the marriage contract is done? You two are so efficient..."

High!

Mu Tiantian leaned closer and stared at her shameless father, clicking her tongue twice: "Dad, why didn't you say anything before that you were with your great-aunt?"

Poor thing, she only gives her father twenty taels of silver a month as pocket money. Isn't that neglecting her great-aunt?

Mu Yang's ears turned even redder as he was stared at by his youngest daughter, and he scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

She didn't forget to pull Aunt Lin to her side, her tone slightly ingratiating: "It's just that things happened so fast, I didn't have time to tell you. I was planning to tell you the details once things were settled."

"So tell me, should I call you Dad or Grandpa from now on?"

Everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter at these words.

Aunt Lin blushed again, reached out and gently patted Mu Tiantian's arm, laughing and scolding, "This girl, she's always making fun of us."

Mu Yang smiled so hard his eyes narrowed into slits.

Not to mention, if I want someone to keep me company in my old age, I'd even abandon my daughters and call him "Grandpa-in-law"!

Mu Tiantian affectionately approached, taking Lin Dagu's arm without any formality, and called out, "Mom!"

Sweetie lost her mother at a young age, and this cry was sincere and heartfelt.

Aunt Lin froze, and her eyes immediately reddened.

Mu Yang was also stunned for a moment, then smiled even more brightly: "Good! What a nice way to call me Mother! Xiulian, did you hear that? Our daughter has acknowledged you!"

Lin Xi glanced at it.

The generational hierarchy in this village is completely messed up!

Just like Ah Li, who was the adopted daughter of the Lin family and married her brother-in-law.

The chubby girl is the sister-in-law of Zhiyan, and she marries Pang You, Zhiyan's "brother"!

He felt like he couldn't make sense of it anymore, he really couldn't make sense of it!
