Chapter 2183 - 2185: Provocation

This matter absolutely cannot be known by my wife, or else I’m doomed.

"Cough cough... Son..." Ye Zi’an looked at Lele expectantly, "You know, it was just a strategy on my part, right?"

Lele shrugged, "But I’m just a kid, although I understand your strategy, my young heart is still delicate. You’ve hurt my fragile heart. I need mother’s love, mother’s comfort. Yes, I also need mother to back me up, to let everyone know I’m not just a dispensable child in the family."

"Pfft..." Ye Zi’an nearly coughed up blood.

"Son, we’re both men here, right? Matters between men don’t need to be told to your mother, okay?" Ye Zi’an tried to negotiate, "I can apologize to you, you know, you are absolutely unique in my heart."

"Dad, you don’t need to say more." Lele waved his hand, "I’m just a kid now, my little brothers haven’t grown to a man’s size yet, so I cannot be considered a man. As for being unique in your heart, isn’t that my mom? Oh, poor me, I’m a prince of Great Zhou and yet I’ve fallen to the point where Dad doesn’t care for me. Hmm, I must ask mom if she still loves me. Heaven forbid I become a child unloved by both parents, that would be even more pitiful."

Ye Zi’an twitched his mouth, looked at him for a long while before he muttered, "If you don’t tell your mom, I’ll give you the white jade chess set."

Lele said nothing, remaining calmly with his eyes closed.

"And also a Blossom Festival painting."

Still no response.

"Finally, a Five Blessings scroll." Seeing he still didn’t speak, Ye Zi’an said, "You rascal, don’t push your luck. It’s settled then, if you dare tell your mom, I’ll break your little legs."

"Tsk tsk..." Lele clicked his tongue, shaking his head, and finally spread his hands, "You are the father, whatever you say goes."

"Hmm, smart decision."

Lele chuckled to himself, "Dad, you said it all, I didn’t say anything, nor did I agree to anything."

"We are leaving for Xining the day after tomorrow, so take care of anything you need to on your end."

"I have nothing to take care of, I can leave at any time."

"Alright."

At the beginning of October, Old Mu returned to the Capital City with the military, while Yang Chuxia stayed in Liao City.

Although Great Qi had already retreated their troops, relations between the two dynasties remained tense. Outside Liao City, Great Zhou’s military still stationed, and the peoples of the two armies no longer interacted.

Situated on the border, Liao City was once prosperous because of trade between the two dynasties. But now it appeared somewhat desolate.

The main reason for staying in Liao City was because of Yangyang, so she had to go out every day.

However, Yang Chuxia didn’t know that Yangyang was about to leave Great Zhou.

"Haha, very good!" The Poison Old Freak chuckled, "The old man did not misjudge you. Keep practicing diligently, and your future achievements are just around the corner."

"Hmph, what’s the big deal?" A disdainful child’s voice suddenly interrupted, "No matter how powerful you are, in the future, won’t you still be just a dog by my side?"

"You brat, who are you talking about?" Yangyang, standing on the plum blossoms column, stepped forward with displeasure and asked, "Who are you? What’s your name? Say what you just said again!"

"Who am I? Is it for you to know the name of the heir of Prince Le?" The child in front of him was indeed the Heir of Prince Le who should be in the Capital City.

It makes sense too, no matter how much the Prince Le disregards his son, he wouldn’t leave him in the Capital City, so the one in the Capital City must be fake. "Did I say anything wrong? In the future, you all will be my subordinates, and you’ll have to listen to me."
