The regent is a yandere who needs to be pampered

"It's normal to be curious. After all, anyone who suddenly has an extra relative will be curious." Mrs. Nan put down the tea cup with a somewhat hesitant expression, "But this matter is a bit complicated. Mom probably needs to take care of it."

"It's okay." Nan Xi said warmly, "If mom doesn't want to say it, don't force yourself. Who doesn't have a secret in their heart?"

Mrs. Nan looked at her in silence. She didn't know what she thought of, and couldn't help but sigh again. She frowned deeply, looking deeply troubled.

Nan Xi couldn't help but wonder what happened to make her mother so embarrassed.

"I have never told you about my mother's life background in these years. I just don't want to cause trouble to you." Mrs. Nan turned her head and looked out the window. Her tone was light, but there was a hint of helplessness. "I thought about it. I don’t want too many twists and turns in my life, and I don’t want to put a lot of responsibilities on myself, so even though I have been extremely disappointed with your father in these years, I have never thought of getting divorced.”

As long as she wears the identity of the Prime Minister's wife, she is still a wife, and her home is still in the Imperial Capital of Zhou Dynasty, but once they are divorced...

"Forget it." Mrs. Nan rubbed her brows, "You can't avoid what's coming. That Mr. Fuchen... If you have time another day, bring him over. Mom, I'll see him."

Nan Xi pondered for a moment: "If you have any troubles in your heart, you might as well tell me. I may be able to help you solve your problems."

Mrs. Nan laughed: "Are you going to help me solve my problems?"

Nan Xi was silent. She thought her mother's reaction was a bit strange.

"When the time comes, I'm afraid it won't be you helping me solve my problems, but you will be in a dilemma yourself."

Nan Xi was confused: "..." What do you mean?

"Mom doesn't even know how to talk to you." The more Mrs. Nan spoke, the more she wanted to sigh. "That guy is smart enough to let you find out first. If he appears in front of me at this time, I will definitely let him I can’t eat and walk around.”

That guy?

Nan Xi guessed that her mother was talking about Mr. Fuchen.

Can't eat and walk around?

After a moment of silence, she said, "My mother just said that she wanted to divorce my father. Are you serious?"

Mrs. Nan nodded: "It's not like I'm completely scaring him. The relationship between me and him as husband and wife should have ended long ago."

Nan Xi hummed: "Mother said before that she is not willing to let the family fortune come to an advantage for the Li family and her son."

"That's just an excuse." Mrs. Nan smiled, "I never told you the real reason."

Nan Xi was slightly surprised, her curiosity completely aroused.

She even wondered if her mother was deliberately trying to seduce her.

Mrs. Nan closed her eyes and pondered, then after a moment, she spoke seriously: "Xi'er, are you really determined to marry the regent, and it must be him?"

Nan Xi was slightly stunned. Although she didn't understand why her mother would ask this, she still nodded: "It has to be him."

Although she didn't love Rong Yu so much that she couldn't help herself, nor could she live without him, she knew that Rong Yu couldn't live without her.

Even if it is just as a compensation, Nan Xi will never marry anyone else in this life. Moreover, things like love are sometimes so wonderful. If you like someone, it is a natural thing to like them.

"I have fallen in love with Rong Yu now, although I am not as deep in love with him." Nan Xi chuckled, "But feelings can be cultivated slowly and deepened little by little. I am ready to stay with him for the rest of my life. "

Mrs. Nan said: "In this case, I probably need to have a deep talk with the regent."

Nan Xi frowned.

Mrs. Nan stood up: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's do it today."

"Mom?" Nan Xi was stunned, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Mrs. Nan smiled lightly: "I'm free now anyway. Instead of letting you keep harboring doubts in your heart, I'd rather let you know the truth earlier."

When Nan Xi heard this, she had already guessed that her mother's identity was probably extraordinary, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.

She said nothing more and walked out of Tingyuxuan with Mrs. Nan.

Rong Yu stayed in the palace today and did not go out, and by coincidence, Mr. Fuchen was also there.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the Prince Regent's Palace. As soon as Mrs. Nan and Nan Xi stepped into the gate of the Prince's Palace, they saw Rong Yu and Fuchen standing on the left and right in the entrance hall, obviously welcoming them.

Nan Xi's expression froze for a moment, and then she raised her eyebrows: "What are you doing?"

Could it be that Mr. Fuchen had calculated in advance that her mother would come?

A respectful smile suddenly appeared on the calm and gentle Fuchen's face, and he bowed slightly: "Aunt."

"Who is your aunt?" Mrs. Nan glanced at him coldly and said in an indifferent tone, "I have something to say with the prince. Please take me to a quiet place where I can talk."

Rong Yu nodded, turned around and led the way.

Nan Xi was speechless.

I don't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that her mother's momentum today was really overwhelming, and she even dared to speak in an almost commanding tone to the regent Rong Yu.

Based on Nan Xi's understanding of her mother, it was definitely not because Rong Yu liked Nan Xi that gave her such confidence.

But is her mother herself so confident?

Nan Xi raised her eyes to look at Mr. Fuchen, trying to read something from his face. However, Fuchen was extremely respectful from the moment he met him. He followed Mrs. Nan with lowered eyebrows and lowered his eyes. Apart from greeting him, he said nothing. Take the initiative to say a word.

Rong Yu took Mrs. Nan to the study.

The study is the place where he handles political affairs, which represents seriousness and rigor.

And because of the system of male superiority and female inferiority, the study has always been a place where women have almost no right to set foot.

So Nan Xi never expected that Rong Yu would bring her mother directly to the study to talk.

The study is filled with the smell of books, pine smoke and ink, as well as Rong Yu's unique cold and indifferent style. When you enter the study, you can feel an invisible pressure rushing towards you.

This is Nan Xi's second visit to Rong Yu's study.

In the Regent's Palace, she was the only woman qualified to step into the study, but today, her status seemed to be relatively low, because as soon as she stepped into the study, her mother said: "Xi'er, you go out and play first. Later."

Nan Xi was slightly stunned and raised her head subconsciously.

Her mother was sitting in a carved sandalwood chair by the window, with a calm look on her face, and no emotion could be seen on her face. Fuchen stood aside respectfully and reservedly, as if he didn't dare to speak.

Nan Xi's eyes met Rong Yu.

The regent, who was decisive and decisive, nodded gently towards her, which meant that she should avoid it for the time being.

All right.

Nan Xi sighed, turned around and walked out obediently.

She goes out to play by herself first.

"Why did the girl come out?" Yinyue said in a low voice, "Is Madam discussing marriage with the regent?"

Nan Xi glanced at her silently: "I was kicked out."

"Ah?" Yinyue was surprised, "Who rushed me?"

"My mother." Nan Xi sighed, "And your prince."
