125: Li Qingluo confesses to Wang Yuyan

Yu Yan, I called you here today because there's something difficult I need to tell you.

Li Qingluo called Wang Yuyan into the room, her expression serious.

"Mother, what is it?"

Wang Yuyan asked with a bewildered look.

"Actually..."

Li Qingluo hesitated, then after a long pause, finally gritted her teeth and said, "Actually, I'm pregnant."

"What?"

Hearing this news, Wang Yuyan was instantly shocked, her eyes wide. "Mother, how could you..."

"Mother, whose child are you carrying?"

"If you truly love that person, I won't object to you remarrying."

A moment later, Wang Yuyan lowered her head and whispered.

After all, this was something she truly couldn't get involved in.

"You also know that person."

Li Qingluo was somewhat embarrassed to speak, but ultimately decided to reveal it.

"The father of the child is actually Murong Fu."

Hearing Ning Yuan's name, Wang Yuyan sat up in shock, saying in disbelief, "Don't joke around, how could it be him? You're lying to me, right?"

Li Qingluo shook her head.

Seeing this, Wang Yuyan sank onto the stool, her face pale, muttering, "How could this be? How is this possible?"

A moment later, she looked up at Qing Luo and couldn't help but ask again, "When was it?"

"Actually, it was originally a misunderstanding."

Li Qingluo sighed softly, "Do you still remember when he sent you back four months ago?"

"Of course I remember, that was the first time he actively sent me home."

Wang Yuyan immediately nodded, then said in disbelief, "Could it be that you two..."

"Actually, that time he came to me wanting to Cultivate Xiao Wu Xiang Skill. I had some wine that night and was a bit drunk, so I mistakenly took him for your father..."

"Yu Yan, you might not know, but he does bear some resemblance to your deceased father."

"You also know that I've been a widow for over ten years; I couldn't control my emotions for a moment, which led to this big mistake."

"You'll forgive me, won't you?"

Li Qingluo tightly held Wang Yuyan's hand, repeating her words.

"But..."

Wang Yuyan looked hesitant and conflicted. "But, I'm already with him too, what should I do?"

Wang Yuyan was at a loss.

Unlike Mu Wanqing, Wang Yuyan, having been raised as a proper young lady since childhood, found it difficult to accept such an immoral situation.

"Yu Yan, as long as we don't tell anyone, who would know? Perhaps you don't realize, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, Qin Hongmian, and Gan Baobao are all your women now. If they can do it, why can't we?"

Li Qingluo earnestly persuaded her.

"Mother, please let me calm down."

Wang Yuyan's heart was conflicted, and for a moment, she was at a loss.

"All right, you go back and rest, and think about it carefully."

Li Qingluo no longer pressured Wang Yuyan... That night.

"Did you make things clear with Yu Yan?"

Ning Yuan came to Li Qingluo's room and asked directly.

Li Qingluo nodded, "She needs to think, I believe she'll understand. It's all your fault!"

Saying this, Li Qingluo couldn't help but hit Ning Yuan, chiding, "If it weren't for you, how would we have become so awkward?"

"By the way, what's going on between you and my mother?"

At this moment, Li Qingluo suddenly asked again.

Her almond-shaped eyes fixed on Ning Yuan's face.

"Haven't you already found out?"

Ning Yuan didn't hide anything, comforting her, "I did it for you too. She found out about our relationship and became emotional. To stabilize her, I had no choice but to take her as well."

"Hmph, do you think I'd believe that?"

Li Qingluo snorted, but then wrapped her arms around Ning Yuan's neck. "I don't care about any of that, as long as you come to accompany me often, that's enough."

"Besides, I've known her since childhood, she's always liked to flirt with men."

"Qing Luo, how can you talk about me like that?"

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Li Qiushui walked in.

"Ah!"

Li Qingluo was startled, quickly straightened her back, and upon seeing Li Qiushui, she frantically tried to get up, but was held by Ning Yuan and couldn't leave.

"I didn't mean it, I was just talking nonsense."

Li Qingluo forced an awkward smile and quickly explained.

"Your sincerity in apologizing isn't quite enough."

Li Qiushui held her head high and said indifferently.

"Then why don't I help apologize too?"

Ning Yuan suddenly said... Meanwhile, Wang Yuyan, who had returned to her room, was also feeling agitated and confused.

"Why is this happening to me?"

"Although I don't mind him having other women, that woman is my mother now! What should I do?"

Wang Yuyan muttered to herself.

She was at a loss.

She hadn't thought about how she should face it.

If she were to give him up and leave him, Wang Yuyan would be utterly reluctant.

But if she didn't leave and served him alongside her own mother, Wang Yuyan found it difficult to speak of, felt shy, and couldn't face it.

"Why don't I ask Sister Mu and the others?"

Wang Yuyan's heart stirred, but then her face stiffened. "But how can I speak of such things to outsiders!"

"No, I can't tell her. Otherwise, if it spreads, how will Mother and I face their gazes?"

Wang Yuyan shook her head again, thinking to herself... Several days later.

Only three days remained until their departure.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

Ning Yuan awoke from his Cultivation, sighing.

Today, Ba Tianshi and others arrived from Dali.

"Greetings, Young Master Murong family. This time, we are here to escort the Prince and Princess back to Dali."

Ba Tianshi bowed respectfully.

"It seems that during this time, my second brother has stabilized the situation in Dali. However, for safety's sake, and to prevent Duan Yanqing or others from making a move in secret, I will personally escort Uncle Duan and Aunt Duan back to Dali this time."

"It's just that I still have some matters to attend to at the moment, so I need you all to wait a little longer in Jiangnan."

Ning Yuan said with a smiling face.

"How dare we trouble Young Master Murong family?"

Ba Tianshi was delighted, then felt a bit embarrassed.

"How can this be a trouble? Duan Yu and I are sworn brothers; his parents are my parents. Last time, due to carelessness, I didn't send them off, which led to them being ambushed on the way. Uncle Duan even had his limbs broken and martial arts completely crippled. My heart has always been filled with sorrow and regret over this."

"This time, no matter what, I cannot allow you all to act alone again."

"If, by any chance, something unexpected happens on the road again, and Uncle Duan gets into trouble, or Aunt Duan encounters any danger, then how could I face my second brother?"

Ning Yuan said righteously.

"Since that's the case, then we thank Young Master. We can certainly wait a bit longer, but I'd like to see the Prince first."

Ba Tianshi clasped his fists.

"Of course, I'll personally take you to see Uncle Duan."

Ning Yuan got up and led the way.

At the same time, he sent someone to inform Dao Baifeng.

Soon, the group arrived at Duan Zhengchun's room, which was filled with the smell of herbs.

"Prince! Princess!"

Seeing Duan Zhengchun, who was severely injured and lying in bed, Ba Tianshi and Zhu Danchen immediately rushed forward excitedly, kneeling by the bed. "Prince, it is our uselessness that has brought the Prince to this state."

"This is not your fault."

Upon seeing the people from Dali, Duan Zhengchun also regained some spirit, showing an excited expression.

Then, his gaze swept over Ning Yuan at the side, and he quickly calmed down.

"Uncle Duan, Ba Sikong and Brother Zhu have come this time to take you and the Princess back to Dali. But I am worried about encountering ambushes from Duan Yanqing and others on the way again, so this time I will personally escort you back to Dali."

Ning Yuan immediately spoke with a beaming smile.

Duan Zhengchun's face stiffened slightly, but after meeting Ning Yuan's gaze, he could only force a smile. "Nephew is the Beggar Clan Leader and the Murong Family Head, busy with many affairs. I have already troubled Nephew for many days, how can I continue to trouble Nephew?"

"My second brother and I are sworn brothers; we have long said we would share wealth and woe. Taking care of Uncle and Aunt, how can that be considered trouble?"

"Last time, I failed to send Uncle and Aunt off, which allowed someone to take advantage and severely injure Uncle. This Junior is already heartbroken beyond measure, and this time, I absolutely will not allow the same mistake to happen again."

Ning Yuan said earnestly.

Then he looked at Dao Baifeng, "Aunt, don't you agree?"

Although Dao Baifeng felt awkward in her heart, she couldn't show it at this moment. She nodded, "It's just that you'll have to work hard."

"It's nothing."

Ning Yuan said indifferently.

Afterward, Ning Yuan left the room. Because Dao Baifeng was there, he wasn't afraid that Duan Zhengchun would say anything more.

Duan Zhengchun also clearly understood in his heart that although Ba Tianshi and the others had arrived, they couldn't be his help. He also didn't want to harm Dali's loyal officials; these people would all be talents to assist his son in the future and couldn't be sacrificed in vain.

Therefore, Duan Zhengchun didn't say anything else.

Everything would wait until they returned to Dali.

"Prince, Princess, since that's the case, we'll take our leave now. We'll await your news in Suzhou."

After a long while, Ba Tianshi and Zhu Danchen bid farewell.

"I'll see you out."

Dao Baifeng got up.

"Princess, please stay. We can go by ourselves."

Ba Tianshi and Zhu Danchen immediately said with trepidation.

However, Dao Baifeng still saw the two out the door.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Duan Zhengchun looked at the returning Dao Baifeng and snorted coldly.

With no one else around, he no longer needed to pretend.

The thought of Dao Baifeng beneath Murong Fu, while he had to feign affection, made him feel disgusted.

Dao Baifeng sighed softly, having nothing to say about it. "My only wish now is for Yuer to succeed to the throne smoothly. Regardless of our current relationship, I don't think you would harm Yuer."

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me. He is my son, and I will naturally ensure everything goes smoothly for him."

"But you are not fit to be a mother. If you want me not to reveal this matter, after we return to Dali, you'd best leave the Prince's Residence on your own and divorce with some dignity. As for who you want to be with in the future, it has nothing to do with me."

Duan Zhengchun said with a cold face.

"I understand."

Dao Baifeng nodded faintly, "As long as Yuer is well, I'm satisfied."

"Hmph? In the future, you'd best not mention Yuer. You should take care of that bastard in your belly."

Duan Zhengchun said coldly.

"You!"

Dao Baifeng's brows furrowed, wanting to scold him, but thinking of what she had done, she indeed lacked confidence. In the end, she said nothing, turned, and left.

The previous chapter is still blocked, so I'm updating this one first. I've been driving all day, I'm tired!
