Yan Ge'er raised his hand and tightly grasped Cheng Mingyang's wrist; "Don't be rude!"

Cheng Mingyang looked at Yan Ge'er, only to see that there was no emotion in his dark eyes. His eyes were cold, extremely cold, which made Cheng Mingyang subconsciously retract his hand.

But in order to save face, he still said, "What's so good about him? He's just a beast that no one wants. What good will it do you to protect him? It's better to stay away from such an unlucky person."

Song Shijin didn't want to dirty Yan Ge'er's hands because of such a person and spoil the fun of his mother and the others, so he raised his hand and tugged at the corner of Yan Ge'er's clothes; "Let's go."

"Apologize." Yan Ge'er remained unmoved and stared at the other person with cold eyes.

Cheng Mingyang was stunned at first, and then he sneered as if he had heard a big joke. "I'm giving you some face, but you really think you are someone else. You say you want me to apologize, and I'll apologize?"

"My father was an official of the fourth rank. Your father was nothing more than a prince without an official position, and a coward who committed suicide out of fear of punishment! You want me, the eldest son of a family with a legitimate official rank, to apologize to you? No way!" Cheng Mingyang raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a smug smile to the two of them.

Yan Ge'er's eyes were dim. Before he could make any move, a figure suddenly flashed before his eyes and rushed towards Cheng Mingyang quickly.

"Crack, snap, snap!"

A crisp sound rang out instantly.

Cheng Mingyang raised his hand to cover his red and swollen cheek, staring at the majestic little guy in front of him with disbelief.

He recognized it at a glance as the little devil Xie Wenhua from Prince Jin's Mansion. He was furious. "You!"

Xie Wenhua put his hands on his hips and said to Cheng Mingyang bluntly, "You are the eldest son of a fourth-rank official, and you still have the nerve to act so arrogantly. If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people. But you speak wildly in public and bully the weak. How dare you be so unreasonable in the imperial city? If you don't apologize today, I will report this matter to the emperor."

"It is the fault of the father if he fails to educate his son. Since Lord Cheng cannot even discipline his own son, how can he be a good official of the fourth rank? In this case, it is better for the Emperor to ask him to go back and learn how to govern people with virtue."

As soon as Xie Wenhua said this, Cheng Mingyang's face changed instantly. He was the one who was most afraid of his father at home, and he sneaked out today.

If Xie Wenhua really reported this matter to the emperor today, he would definitely be beaten physically when he returned.

If my father really lost his official position because of my recklessness, how would I be able to live a life of luxury in the future?

Cheng Mingyang was full of thoughts.

After a long time, he looked in the direction of Song Shijin, frowning somewhat unwillingly.

Seeing that he was still hesitant, Xie Wenhua turned around and was about to pull Yan Ge'er and Song Shijin into the palace.

Cheng Mingyang then spoke anxiously, "Wait, I, I'll apologize."

Xie Wenhua stopped, clasped his hands across his chest, and looked like a little adult. He stared straight at Cheng Mingyang and motioned him to hurry up.

Cheng Mingyang gritted his teeth and whispered to Song Shijin, "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now."

"What? Haven't you eaten? Speak louder." Xie Wenhua said with a cold face.

Although Cheng Mingyang was unwilling, the other party's father was a prince, a higher official than him, not to mention that he was a royal relative. Even though Cheng Mingyang was unwilling, he did not dare to refute.

He raised his head and glanced at everyone. Seeing their burning eyes, all waiting for him to apologize, his face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

He clenched his hands into fists and said to Song Shijin, "I'm sorry, I was too reckless just now and shouldn't have been so unreasonable."

After saying this, Cheng Mingyang ran out shamelessly.

Ye Tao wanted to step forward and teach Cheng Mingyang a lesson, but was stopped by Yan's mother. "Fighting between children is a small matter. If adults get involved, the meaning will be different."

Seeing that they were fine, Liu Yueru was obviously relieved.

When she took a step forward and wanted to talk to Hua Ge'er, she saw Ye Zhiwan had already come to Hua Ge'er's side. She took her handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from Hua Ge'er's forehead.

Liu Yueru paused, looking at the scene in front of her in confusion.

"Hua Ge'er is great. He remains fearless in the face of danger, and has the magnanimity of your father." Ye Zhiwan intentionally blocked Hua Ge'er's sight and praised him highly.

Seeing Hua Ge'er's face clearly showing some displeasure, Yan Ge'er took a step forward and took Hua Ge'er's hand; "Didn't we make an appointment? Why didn't you come today?"

At this time, Hua Ge'er turned around and saw Liu Yueru standing not far away with a calm face. Xie Wenhua immediately stepped forward happily and stood next to Liu Yueru. "I originally wanted to come here early in the morning to choose things you like and take them to Liu Mansion together. Who would have thought that there are too many things here, and every good thing is suitable for aunt, so I chose it a little late."

While Xie Wenhua was speaking, several servants appeared behind him with boxes of various sizes, and each of them had his arms full of gift boxes.

Hua Ge'er continued to explain happily, "Aunt, I bought you a lot of jewelry, hairpins, and strange little things. I'm sure you will like them."

Feeling ignored, Ye Zhiwan drooped her eyelashes slightly to hide the displeasure in her eyes.

When she looked at Liu Yueru, she spoke in her gentle and generous voice, "We had planned to go horseback riding and archery today, but Jingrui was worried that I hadn't ridden for a long time, and he was busy today, so he couldn't go with us, so he didn't send an invitation to Madam Liu."

Liu Yueru looked at the other person and just smiled faintly; "It's okay, Miss Ye will live in Kyoto in the future, and there will be many opportunities to meet."

"We happened to meet today, so why not go to the teahouse together? The dim sum that Jingrui took me to yesterday was really good, especially the sweet-scented osmanthus white jade cake, which has a light and elegant fragrance, is sweet but not greasy, and is glutinous but not sticky."

When Hua Ge'er heard about snacks, he immediately thought of the snacks made by Liu Yueru, and shook his head, "What's so good about those snacks out there? They're not as delicious as the ones made by my aunt."

Ye Zhiwan felt a little resentful after hearing this, but she didn't show it on her face, and her smile became more gentle. "I didn't expect that Madam Liu was so good at cooking. She must have cooked a lot of food for her family in the past, right? For someone like me who has no chance to join the kitchen, I can't even make a bowl of soup. I feel really ashamed."

When Ye Tao heard what Ye Zhiwan said, her expression turned a little unhappy.

Fortunately, she thought Ye Zhiwan was a magnanimous person who cared about the country, but she never expected that every word he said was a needle in the heart of his wife.

Liu Yueru, on the other hand, had a calm expression, as if it had nothing to do with her. "My mother passed away early, and when she was still in the boudoir, she often cooked soup for the family. My father and brothers liked it very much, so they formed the habit of going into the kitchen. If I was craving for something that the cook couldn't make, I could try to make it myself. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just a personal preference. Miss Ye cares about her country and family, so she's naturally a little different from us women in the backyard."
