Chapter 2506 - 85:

"How did this end up in your hands?" Left Guardian—Ms. Hua was shocked.

"My wife is a Miss of the Mu Family. Is there a problem with it being with me?"

Ms. Hua was first surprised that his wife was a Miss of the Mu Family. She had learned a lot recently, but then felt conflicted that a man held this item.

"The rules of the Fairy Moon Pavilion state that the head must be a woman, and this item must also be in the hands of a woman. How could she hand this thing over?"

Ms. Hua was distressed, being a woman who valued rules heavily—master is master, subordinate is subordinate. She couldn’t tolerate Ms. Yun’s rebellion, nor could she stand for Ye Haoyang wielding the sacred command.

"Unless this item is in your wife’s hands, our Fairy Moon Pavilion will not heed your orders."

Ye Haoyang didn’t bother with her; he hadn’t even considered the idea of commanding the Fairy Moon Pavilion.

"Anyway, that traitor is already dead. You can deal with the corpse yourself."

Ye Haoyang mounted his horse, with the others following behind, heading back to the Capital City.

Upon arriving at Prince An’s Mansion and reaching the main courtyard, they saw Baili Han pacing back and forth at the entrance, occasionally stopping to give Mu Shaoling a glare.

Mu Shaoling felt that if looks could kill, he would be a sieve by now.

"Dad!"

Qi Yunqiao ran hastily forward upon seeing her father’s anxious demeanor, embracing Baili Han tightly.

Baili Han stiffened for a moment before patting her back. "Good to have you back, really good. You little rascal, be more careful next time."

But he thought secretly that he must withdraw the secret guards, unable to listen to this little girl’s whims.

"Don’t worry, Dad, I’m fine."

"What could happen to her?" Ye Haoyang chuckled, "When we arrived, she was cheerfully eating a chicken in one hand and a duck in the other, having the maids of Fairy Moon Pavilion under her command."

Baili Han replied with humor, "My daughter should have such a talent."

"Enough bragging. If she had such talent, why didn’t she return on her own?" Mu Shaoling couldn’t stand his boasting.

Mu Niancheng gave a light cough, "Dad... Many people from Fairy Moon Pavilion came to the Capital City this time. She couldn’t escape on her own against so many."

Thinking, Dad, please don’t speak further, or it’ll cause a mess.

Baili Han glared at him, "You’re no better than your son at talking. Hmph, my daughter is back, in good spirits, so I’m letting things slide."

"Dad!" Mu Shaoling wanted to say more but was pulled back by Mu Niancheng.

Yang Chuxia covertly said to Dongyang, "I think you might become a mother-in-law soon."

"Impossible, right?" How did Xiaxia see this in just a few words?

Yang Chuxia did not elaborate, only saying deeply, "Just watch."

Yang Dongxue was resigned, "If the two children truly care for each other, I wouldn’t oppose it. But look at them; they’re like fighting cocks. If they do become family, the matter of marriage could have them squabbling all day long."

The three women exchanged glances, suspecting this might indeed be the case.

"How are you, did you get injured?" Mu Huaen quietly asked Ye Haoyang, seeing everyone’s attention was on Qi Yunqiao, "Is everything handled?"

"No injuries. Ordinary people can’t harm me." Ye Haoyang appreciated his little wife’s concern, secretly drawing her hand into his, "It’s mostly dealt with. The Right Guardian is dead, but the Left Guardian has now arrived."

"Ah, someone else has come?" Mu Huaen’s face was filled with worry, "There won’t be more trouble, will there?"
