Family Ties (Add more! Monthly ticket red envelope come and smash me)

  The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Hong Kun didn't expect Wu Mingyuan to be so overbearing as to block the city gate. His white eyebrows furrowed into a "川" shape, he turned his horse's head to look at Wu Mingyuan and said in a rough voice: "Third Prince, what instructions do you have for me by asking me to stay?"

  Wu Mingyuan nodded his hands and smiled: "Uncle, my nephew didn't even greet you when you arrived in the capital yesterday. Today, I'm waiting here especially to invite Uncle to my mansion. I've prepared a few tables of wine and food for everyone to dispel their fatigue. Would Uncle be willing to grant me this favor?"

  Hong Kun did not expect that Wu Mingyuan would make such a big fuss just to invite him for a drink. He had no intention of going, but since so many people were there, it seemed impolite not to give Wu Mingyuan some face. However, looking at Xiao Congrong's sedan chair, he felt somewhat embarrassed. He had heard rumors about the grudges between the two men and did not know who was right or wrong, so it was difficult for him to speak up.

  Wu Mingyuan saw him hesitating, so he jumped off his horse, walked forward and gestured to the sedan chair bearer to put down the sedan chair. He rushed towards Xiao Congrong inside and shouted: "Rongrong, you come too! There are some misunderstandings that we should clarify in front of your uncle. Let your uncle make a decision for us, okay?"

  Xiao Congrong's face turned gloomy in the sedan chair, he didn't expect that Hong Kun was actually Wu Mingyuan's uncle. No wonder he had something to rely on, it turned out that he wanted to play the family card.

  She reached out and grabbed her crutch, placing it by her side, and said coldly: "Third Prince, there's no misunderstanding between us! We've already said what needed to be said, and there's no relationship left between us. Today is the day of mourning for my family, and I'm not in the mood to eat or drink anything you offer! If you still have any sympathy for me, please step aside and let me return home!"

  "Rong Rong, don't be reckless! Even if I wronged you in the past, can't I apologize? Come home with me! The Xiao family is gone now, and from now on, I'll take good care of you, I..."

  Xiao Zongrong impatiently opened the curtain with his cane and walked out of the sedan chair. He coldly looked at Wu Mingyuan and said, "I don't need anyone to take care of me! I also don't need your apology! Even if you have wronged me in any way, it's all in the past, and I didn't even put it in my heart! Let me say it again, listen carefully, you've already written a divorce letter and divorced me. I... and you have no relationship anymore!"

  She pointed at Wu Mingyuan with her crutch and sneered, "I still remember when I wrote the divorce letter, the second prince and a certain Chu Gongzi were present. He asked me if I would regret taking the divorce letter later? How did I answer him back then? Do you want me to say it again in public?"

  Wu Mingyuan's face changed slightly, his eyes also turned cold, and he said in a low voice: "Rongrong, don't go too far!"

  Xiao Congrong, however, ignored his threats and loudly said to Hong Kui, who was looking at them with suspicion: "I say 'As long as I get a letter of divorce, regardless of whether the three princes will regret their decision in the future or not, regardless of how high their positions are or how powerful they become, Xiao Congrong's decision is... unregrettable... unwavering!'"

  Her face was stern, with a clear expression of cutting off all relationships and favors, which made Wu Mingyuan's face turn green with rage, and for a moment, he didn't know how to deal with her!

  Wu Minghao stepped forward and said, "Third Brother Huang, today is the day of the Xiao family's memorial service. Rongrong is feeling unwell and doesn't want to attend the wine banquet, so why don't you and General Hong return first? I'll escort her back to the Xiao residence and then come over to join you?"

  Wu Mingyuan looked at him coldly, shook his head and said: "The Xiao family doesn't even have a servant, how can I be at ease letting her go back home? Rongrong being angry with me is because she still has misunderstandings about me, I don't mind! Misunderstandings can be slowly cleared up, the divorce papers can be scrapped, and I will remarry her again! Now that she's like this, I must take her back! Come, Rongrong, don't be angry anymore, I'll carry you, we're going home!"

  Wu Mingyuan bent down, stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Congrong, but hugged a empty space. He raised his head in surprise and found that Xiao Congrong had already been pulled away by Wu Minghao, who was shielding him behind his back.

  " Fifth brother... what do you mean by this?" Wu Mingyuan glared at Wu Minghao with a malicious tone, his eyes revealing an undisguised murderous intent.

  He didn't expect that Hong Kun and others wouldn't stop him, but his own younger brother came out to stop him. At this moment, he really had the heart to kill him!

  Wu Minghao was also startled by the naked killing intent in his eyes, and he stuttered as he spoke: "Rong... Rong doesn't want to go, so don't force her!"

  "She doesn't want to come back? Don't be ridiculous! Who doesn't know that Rongrong likes me, she'd even give up her life for me! We just had a small disagreement, how do you know she doesn't want to return to my side?"

  Wu Mingyuan approached Wu Minghao, gritting his teeth in a low voice by his ear: "She is my woman, you are my younger brother, remember your identity as a younger brother and don't have ideas about your older brother's woman!"

  Wu Minghao's face suddenly turned blood red to the neck, lowered his head, clenched and released his fists repeatedly, and unexpectedly lost the courage to continue fighting back.

  "You're shameless!" Xiao Zong Rong stood beside Wu Ming Huan, having heard Wu Ming Yuan's threat to Wu Ming Huan. He felt sympathetic towards the child and was speechless at Wu Ming Yuan's behavior.

  Who is his woman? Her henna is still on her arm! Is he being overly sentimental?!

  "Rong Rong, come back with me! Stop causing trouble!"

  Xiao Zongrong stretched out his hand, and this time Xiao Cong used his crutches to block him, coldly saying: "Third Prince, I, Xiao Zongrong, have already been disgraced for life by being your concubine once. If you want me to go back with you, fine! First, divorce He Donghui and kneel at my family's grave for three days and three nights to show your sincerity. Only if you do all this will I go back with you! If you can't do these things, and you think you can use force to take me back, let me tell you... I, Xiao Zongrong, would rather die than submit. Don't believe me? Try it!"

  She spoke with righteous indignation, her voice loud and clear, moving a group of soldiers who were present. Hong Kun could no longer remain silent, fearing that things would get out of hand. He stepped forward, grabbed Wu Mingyuan's arm and said: "Third Prince, you call me 'Uncle', so I'll act like an old man this once. If Rong'er doesn't want to go, then don't force her. Let her return to the Xiao estate first. I'll accompany you to the banquet instead. Whatever misunderstandings there are, you can tell me about them later and I'll advise her again. Don't be stubborn, take a step back each, and let's consider it a favor to your uncle."

  Things have been said to this point, and if they continue to make trouble, they will definitely turn against each other. Although Wu Mingyuan is not afraid of Hong Kun, if a fight really breaks out, he won't gain any advantage, and will also lose the hearts of the people and his reputation. This is also one of the main reasons why he played the family card.

  With a slight pause, Wu Mingyuan burst out laughing: "Uncle says so, nephew will definitely listen to uncle's words! Rongrong, you don't want to go, that's fine. I'll assign a few soldiers to escort you back and clean up for you. You can't refuse me on this, can you?"

  Xiao Congrong did not refuse, knowing that refusing would be useless, and expressionlessly returned to the sedan chair.

  Wu Mingyuan didn't just send soldiers to escort her, but rather to detain her in a different location. The only thing was that the place of detention was Xiao Fu!

  Xiao Congrong also believed that as long as Hong Kun and the others were still in the capital, Wu Mingyuan would not make things difficult for her. However, judging from this situation, it wouldn't be easy for Chu Qinglang to take her away either!

  Was she going to be trapped in another courtyard after just leaving one?

  "Don't worry, I'll think of a way!" Wu Minghao said with a lack of confidence as he walked away, leaving these words for Xiao Congrong.

  Xiao Congrong only responded with a faint smile, poor child, he's been struck down now. Look, being born into royalty isn't omnipotent either. Having money and power doesn't mean you can do everything!

  The sedan chair started again, heading towards the city gate. Xiao Zongrong looked out of the small window with a calm and expressionless face. There were many soldiers guarding the sedan chair, but they were no longer all Hong Kun's men.

  That's compromise!

  She didn't doubt Hong Kun's loyalty to Old Master Hou, but this was the imperial court, and he also had to be loyal to the emperor. It was truly a dilemma, all she could say was that she understood!

  As they entered the city gate, Xiao Zong suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people standing by the city wall, seemingly letting them pass first. The fox fur cloak of the man in the middle looked familiar.

  In a flash, when she realized it was the Fourth Prince's sedan chair, it had already been carried far away. She was stunned for a moment, wasn't the Fourth Prince supposed to have returned to the city early? How did he end up behind her? Did he see everything that just happened?

  This fourth prince is so mysterious!

  Her hand brushed past the small window, feeling that the sedan chair was very comfortable and gave her a sense of security, mainly because there was a smell in the sedan chair that made her feel relaxed.

  A faint scent, mixed with a medicinal smell! A delicate fragrance, not the kind of bitter taste that makes people uncomfortable... The sedan chair is clean and tidy, the curtain is dropped, isolating the wind and snow, like a small enclosed space, very warm...

  Xiao Zong Rong's lips curled up into a smile, and he thought to himself that if he had the chance, he would like to get to know this fourth prince better, to see what kind of heart he had that would give him such a unique style.

  A person who sees the world through a small window, but hides his true self from the world. Is he lonely or is it a kind of self-imprisonment out of helplessness? Xiao Zongrong thinks it should be related to his illness, otherwise who would be content with just looking at the world through a small window?

  Fourth prince, Hong Kun, Zhou Ze, Wu Minghao, and that annoying Wu Mingyuan, this is the harvest of the first day out... not bad, at least it proves that her world has started to become more colorful again!

  It's just that it feels a bit regrettable... If only Chu Qingxiang could see from the side, when she made Wu Mingyuan look dispirited and crestfallen, his eyes would definitely be smiling slyly with ill intentions...
