The handsome man was dressed in court robes, with a soft sword tied at his waist, emitting a silvery-white light.

His face was cold, emitting endless chill as if it were the coldest month of winter. His steps were steady, yet there was a hint of hidden haste.

"Prime Minister!"

Seeing his figure, everyone present changed their expression.

The guards, palace maids and eunuchs all knelt down to greet him.

Queen Mother, Qu Wenshi looked panicked.

From the moment he appeared, Yan Wanyu's heart and eyes were filled with his handsome and elegant figure, and she stared at him blankly like a puppet who had lost its soul.

Wen Suhua gazed at him infatuatedly, with years of longing in her eyes, and she couldn't look away for a long time.

When Qu Xinzhu heard everyone calling him that, she froze in place for a moment, her face full of disbelief, "He... he is my cheap dad?"

How can this be?

Isn’t her cheap father an old man?

Aren’t this handsome guy and Yan Qing next to him both my cheap dad’s male favorites? How come their identities changed in the blink of an eye?

Besides, he only looks to be around 30 years old, so how could he have a daughter as old as her?

Qu Xinzhu was about to collapse. She couldn't believe that the man she had loved before was actually the father of this body?

Her words were not heard by anyone, as everyone's attention was on that figure.

The handsome man walked over, his eyes fell on his precious daughter. He looked her up and down, and when he saw that she was fine, his tense expression relaxed a little.

"What happened?"

When Qu Qingyan saw his father coming, he felt as if he had found a backbone. He pouted his lips in grievance, "Sir, I don't know why I have angered the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother wants to beat me to death."

Hearing this, Qu Honglin's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his eyes shot like sharp arrows at the slightly panicked noble woman.

"Oh? The Queen Mother wants to have me executed by beating. But what's the reason?"

"No, I am..." Empress Dowager Yan wanted to explain in panic, but was afraid of losing her dignity.

While she was hesitating, the handsome man glanced around and finally his eyes fell on the row of assassins.

A sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, "The Queen Mother really thinks highly of me. She even pulled out her trump card when she wanted to have my retainer executed!"

"Prime Minister, don't be so rude! Yan Qing is just a retainer, but he dared to offend me, the Empress Dowager. If I don't punish him, how can I rule in the future!" Empress Dowager Yan seemed to have regained her confidence.

Qu Wen also took the opportunity to use her mother's identity as an excuse to teach her, "Honglin, he was just a retainer. If he dies, he dies. The Queen Mother didn't take her anger out on you because of this. She is very broad-minded. You should not act recklessly. Apologize to the Queen Mother quickly, and then execute this ignorant boy, and this matter will be over."

"Then I have to thank the Queen Mother?" Qu Honglin suddenly burst into laughter.

The laughter sounded like the sound of jade stones hitting each other, pleasant to the ears.

Yan Wanyu, Wen Suhua, and even Qu Xinzhu were all staring at the man with a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, another group of men in black rushed out from all directions. Before everyone could react, they saw that all the Queen Mother's assassins were killed on the ground.

Qu Qingyan secretly praised his father in his heart, "Well done!"

"Qu Honglin, you...how dare you..." Seeing that all her trump cards of self-defense were killed, Empress Dowager Yan couldn't help but get furious and her eyes turned black.

The nanny beside her immediately stepped forward to support her so that she would not fall to the ground.

Qu Honglin sneered, "The Queen Mother is old and in poor health. She should rest and enjoy her old age. You must serve the Queen Mother well and don't neglect her."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuchs and palace maids around him all responded.

Only then did Empress Dowager Yan realize that the people in her palace were actually Qu Honglin's secret agents. She couldn't help but close her eyes and fainted.

The nanny called out in panic, wanting to summon the imperial physician.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and carry the empress dowager into the palace." The noisy voice made Qu Honglin frown slightly.

The palace maid at the side hurried forward and helped the nanny to carry the empress dowager inside.

Yan Wanyu wanted to follow him out of concern, but looking at the handsome man in front of her, she was reluctant to leave.

Her eyes were filled with love and her voice was gentle, "Master Qu, you are finally here. Wanyu has been waiting for you for a long time."

Bitch!

Wen Suhua, who was standing next to her, watched Yan Wanyu trying to hook up with the handsome man and cursed her in her heart.

Qu Honglin didn't look at them, his eyes fell on the handsome boy, "Are you hungry? Let's go back home."

"Sir, I heard that you are getting married? I wonder if this is true?" Qu Qingyan didn't want a certain woman to make another foolish move and become a stepping stone for Qu Xinzhu to harm them. So, he just laid out the matter today.

Sure enough, hearing this, Qu Honglin's face turned cold, "It's not someone else's turn to interfere in my marriage!"

"Honglin, what you said is a slap in your mother's face. As the saying goes, parents' orders and matchmaker's words, I am your mother, I have the right to decide your life-long affairs. Besides, that vixen...Weng Xianghan has been dead for so many years, you can't be alone until old age, our Qu family is still waiting for you to carry on the family line." Qu Wen glanced at her daughter who had been waiting for her for many years, and couldn't bear to see her suffer from lovesickness anymore, so she made up her mind and acted like a mother.

Qu Honglin's expression became uglier and uglier. "I already have a wife, Weng Xianghan, and a daughter. I will never accept anyone else in this life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two women looked as pale as death.

"Rebellious son! There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. If you don't leave a male heir to our Qu family, how can I have the face to see your father a hundred years later?" Qu Wen was heartbroken and intended to use filial piety to suppress herself.

But Qu Honglin didn't buy it. He looked at the old woman in front of him with a cold face and said, "I have already ordered people to go back to the old house and remove me from the Qu family tree. From now on, I am no longer a member of your Qu family."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qu Wenshi became so angry that her body staggered and she fell to the ground.

"Mom." Wen Suhua was frightened and rushed forward to help.

Mrs. Qu Wen was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet, "What a rebellious son! If I had known this would happen, I would have..."

"Godmother, are you confused?" Wen Suhua was afraid that she would tell others about the child exchange, so she interrupted her.

Although Qu Wenshi kept silent, she was still feeling depressed and fell weakly on Wen Suhua.

Wen Suhua didn't care about anything else and hurriedly called out to the beautiful woman beside her, "Zhu'er, help send your grandmother back."

Qu Xinzhu then shifted his gaze from the handsome man, walked over to the two of them, and reached out to help up the angry old woman.

Qu Qingyan glanced at the heartbroken Wenwan woman.

She has already reminded everyone that should be reminded. As for what choice Yan Wanyu will make in the future, she cannot be blamed.
