The banquet at the princess's mansion ended with everyone's laughter.

The ladies and daughters were still not satisfied. They hadn’t seen enough. They hadn’t seen enough at all.

The precious piglet who was dragged along by his biological father never acted enough, never acted enough at all.

The world in which only Admiral Lu was injured was achieved.

He looked coldly at the cub in his hands.

The kid looked innocent, not knowing what mistake he had made at all. He seemed to be confused as to why everyone was praising him and why his cheap, scumbag father was still angry.

You don't know how lucky you are, even though so many people like your baby.

In the end, it was Meng Qianqian who risked her life to save the little guy from the fire.

"Strange, where is mother?"

Meng Qianqian looked around blankly and asked Lu Yuan, "Did you see it?"

"No."

Lu Yuan replied calmly.

"What an awkward mother and son."

Meng Qianqian muttered softly, then took Baoshu's hand and said, "Let's go find grandma."

Bao Shu gave him face: "Grandma."

An adult and a child went to find Liu Qingyun.

Princess Wanping walked slowly and gracefully to Lu Yuan with her lotus steps light and fragrant.

She glanced at Lu Yuan, who was sitting on a futon drinking tea, and felt that this man was charming no matter how she looked at him.

As a legitimate princess, she wanted many men but couldn't get them. However, only Lu Yuan was never willing to humble himself to please her.

She touched her smooth cheek and said with affection in her eyes, "I knew you would come to see me, and I specifically told the guards not to stop you."

Lu Yuan thought of the long line of officials waiting outside, no wonder he was the only one who came in.

He frowned and said to Princess Wanping, "I have something else to do, so I'll go first. Please tell my wife that I'm waiting for them in the carriage."

After that, he left without looking back.

"Lu Yuan——"

Princess Wanping called out to him but failed to stop him. She could only watch his back reluctantly as he left until he completely disappeared from her sight.

She said infatuatedly: "Lu Yuan, you will be mine soon."

Meng Qianqian never dreamed that Liu Qingyun would run away first.

Is your son some kind of monster? You leave when he comes?

Don't sneak up on him in the middle of the night again.

Bao Shu spread her hands and said in an exaggerated tone: "Grandma, oh? She's gone!"

Meng Qianqian was melted by her cuteness and rubbed her little head in amusement: "Grandma went home first, let's go back too."

-

All the guests who attended the banquet today returned in high spirits, except Mrs. Wei who was beaten up by Liu Qingyun.

The more she thought about how she had lost face in public, the angrier and more aggrieved she became.

After finally waiting for Prime Minister Xun to return home, she immediately filed a complaint against the Governor's Office.

Prime Minister Xun said in a deep voice: "Who allowed you to cause trouble in the princess's mansion?"

Madam Wei felt very aggrieved: "Brother, didn't you see how the people from the Governor's Mansion bullied me? If you don't believe me, ask Hong'er and the others, who was the first to break the rules?"

Hong'er was Madam Wei's personal maid, the one who was about to slap Liu Qingyun but was stopped by Meng Qianqian.

She knelt down and said, "Return to the Prime Minister, it was the people from the Governor's Office who took our seats first."

"People from the Governor's Office?" Prime Minister Xun glanced at the two of them.

Mrs. Wei sat down next to her brother with red eyes: "It was only later that I found out that the Miao woman was actually Lu Yuan's biological mother! Big brother, isn't Lu Yuan an orphan? He has been a slave in our family for so many years, when did he have a mother from Miao?"

Mr. Yu was an aide to Prime Minister Xun.

After hearing about Lu Yuan's life story, he didn't look very surprised.

Because the Prime Minister's Mansion learned the news early in the morning, but because it had nothing to do with Madam Wei, no one went out of their way to inform her.

"Brother, you have to avenge me! When my mother died, she told you to take good care of me and not let anyone bully me, but what did you do? Your nephew was beaten by Lu Yuan, and your sister was humiliated by Lu Yuan's mother... Are you really going to turn a blind eye?"

As Mrs. Wei spoke, she began to sob softly.

Mr. Yu hurriedly said respectfully, "Aunt, in the heart of the Prime Minister, a nephew is closer than his own son. The Prime Minister will make the decision on this matter. You are tired. Go back to your room and rest. Everything will be left to the Prime Minister."

"Really?" Mrs. Wei looked at her brother doubtfully.

Prime Minister Xun closed his eyes and nodded lightly.

Mrs. Wei then wiped her tears and left contentedly.

Mr. Yu closed the door, took a long breath, turned around and said to Prime Minister Xun: "Prime Minister, Lu Yuan has just been favored by the Emperor, and he lost the Jinyi Guards, but he has the Jinwu Guards. If he tries to win over the Miaojiang, his future career may be unpredictable. We must be on guard."

Prime Minister Xun said nothing.

On the other side, Mr. Gongsun, another aide who had been silent all this time, stroked his beard and said, "I think Miaojiang is not so easy to win over. Shangguan Ling has been lurking beside him for so long, why not ask him about the situation."

Shangguan Ling entered the study and bowed to Prime Minister Xun: "Prime Minister, you called me?"

Mr. Gongsun said, "I asked the Prime Minister to summon you. Lu Yuan's mother is from Miaojiang. Do you know this?"

Shangguan Ling said: "I just found out not long ago. I sent a letter to the Prime Minister."

Mr. Gongsun asked again: "Do you know her parents?"

Shangguan Ling shook his head. "I only heard from Steward Cen that he was separated from his mother when he was young. It was only a few years ago that his mother heard about his official career in the capital, but he always felt resentful towards her, so he refused to recognize her. His mother had finally found a good marriage for him in Miaojiang, but he flatly refused. As for his father, Steward Cen has never mentioned him."

"What about your family background?" asked Mr. Gongsun.

Shangguan Ling shook his head again: "Manager Cen has always been very secretive about Lu Yuan's family background, so I don't know much about it either."

The people in the room were silent.

If Marshal Chu's Black Armored Army is a hard bone that cannot be chewed, then Miaojiang is a piece of fat meat that cannot be chewed at all.

In the Great Zhou, there was no place they could not reach, and even the Twelve Guards were instigated and conquered by them one by one.

But Miaojiang remained as solid as a rock, and none of the spies they sent out returned alive.

This is also the reason why they were unable to find out Lu Yuan’s origins at the beginning.

Mr. Yu thought, "She still needs to get her son to win over the Miao region through marriage, so she shouldn't be that famous."

Mr. Gongsun said meaningfully: "I am not afraid of her background, as long as she is not the daughter of the Miao King, there is nothing to worry about."

Mr. Yu asked, "Brother Gongsun, do you have a good plan?"

Mr. Gongsun stroked his beard and said with determination: "Lu Yuan was ungrateful and refused the marriage proposal from Miaojiang. The Xiangguo Mansion can restore face for Miaojiang. I am willing to go to Miaojiang in person and propose marriage for Master Xun Yu!"

Mr. Yu said earnestly: "Brother Gongsun, Miao territory is dangerous, don't be impulsive."

Mr. Gongsun smiled and said, "If I go there by myself, it will be dangerous, but Miaojiang has already submitted to the imperial court. If the imperial court sends an envoy, there will be no difficulty."

Shangguan Ling clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to escort Lord Gongsun to Miaojiang!"

Mr. Gongsun said excitedly: "With Lord Shangguan's Jinyiwei, this trip will be foolproof."

Prime Minister Xun said calmly: "No need, the Miao King has already left Miao Territory and is on his way to the capital."
