Chapter 703: Long Ai (1)
âHahahaha⊠Aunt⊠Thatâs hilarious⊠AuntâŠâ The little cousin was laughing uncontrollably as if sheâd heard the funniest joke in the world.
âArenât you?â said Ye Lang cluelessly.
âSheâs an aunt, but sheâs my aunt, not my fatherâs! Sheâs Fatherâs little sister!â said the little cousin while laughing. She looked at the lady, who wanted to beat her up.
âHey, kid, donât lie to me. She looks older than your fatherâŠâ Ye Lang did not believe it.
âIâm not lying, sheâs Fatherâs little sister, though she looks older than him! Also, donât call me that, Iâm not little anymore!â protested the little cousin.
Ye Lang looked at the ladyâs face, then turned around. âI still donât believe it!â
âHahaâŠâ
ââŠâ The ladyâs face darkened, she had been thoroughly embarrassed.
âMother, calm down. We do not argue with people who are on their deathbeds,â said the ladyâs daughter coldly. She looked at him with hostility.
âBrother, why arenât you sending your men to kill him? Or are you happy to see your younger sister insulted like that?â The lady turned her blade towards the emperor, who had been watching the show.
âSister, itâs not up to me. While what he said was inappropriate, itâs the truth. And we still have to find out the truth before deciding anything,â said the emperor solemnly.
âTruthâŠ. Do I look that old?â mumbled the lady, clenching her teeth.
âCough cough⊠You, tell me what youâre here for,â yelled the emperor at Ye Lang.
âIâm here to deliver flowers! SOMEONE insisted on annoying me so Iâve been busy with her flowers these few days. I brought the flowers here, then checked on it. Since all is well, I decided to roast some chicken wings, I didnât expectâŠâ said Ye Lang.
âWhat?! Youâre roasting chicken wings in my garden? No wonder youâre holding a chicken wingâŠâ The Vermilion Bird Emperor recalled something when he saw the skewer of chicken wings.
âBrother, youâre acting so oddly! Why are you still listening to him? Who would believe such a stupid excuse? Roasting chicken wings?!â scoffed the lady, thinking these were all lies.
Some of the people here thought Ye Lang was lying but if they knew he was Ye Lang, theyâd believe him.
What couldnât he do? It was already great he didnât roast his chicken in the throne room.
âI believe him, if itâs himâŠâ said the emperor.
âWhat?â The lady couldnât believe her ears.
âNothing! Kid, are you here to deliver flowers? ANy other motives?â asked the emperor.
âNone!â Ye Lang shook his head.
âTo hell with this! Arenât you here to meet anyone or something?â barked the emperor. He was very irritated by Ye Langâs answer.
âWho? Heâs here to meet his little cousin sister, some servant. I think heâs here to give her flowers. Brother, you should kill people like that, filthy liars!â The lady did not know why the emperor was angry, thinking that he was angry at the boy.
âWhat servant? His little cousin sister is Little Ai⊠Sister, he isâŠâ The emperor was about to explain Ye Langâs identity when someone interrupted him.
At the same time, the lady wondered who Little Ai was. Her brother must know this person well. She could only recall one person like that, it was her niece, Long Ai.
She was right, he was referring to the little cousin, Long Ai!
How could this be? If his cousin is Little Ai, then who was he?
Very soon, the lady received her answer because Long Ai squealed.
âAh⊠Flowers⊠My flowersâŠâ
Ye Langâs cousin, Long Ai, squealed and hurried over to a plot near Ye Lang. Her eyes shone as she admired the flowers excitedly.
âI hope youâre satisfied now, Iâve delivered the flowers you wanted. Please stop annoying me now.â At this point, Ye Langâs voice was back to normal.
âI wouldnât⊠Ah, youâre Cousin Brother! You! Give me my stuff back! Or Iâll tell Grandma!â Long Ai was initially indifferent but she suddenly realised who Ye Lang was.
She rushed to his side and clutched his arm, fearing that Ye Lang might run away.
âGo away! I got it from the auction, I am not giving it to you!â Ye Lang tried to shake her off.
âSobs⊠Grandma, Cousin is bullying me again!â Long Ai turned to the empress dowager pitifully.
âThis is none of my business, you both settle it yourselves. You troublemaker, why do you keep causing a scene every time you visit? Also, why didnât you tell us you were coming? You think youâre going to leave without telling anyone?â The empress dowager knocked Ye Langâs head.
âOuchâŠâ
Most of the people were stunned by the sudden changes, especially the lady and her children, who were staring at him, confused. They didnât know who this was. Why were the empress dowager and the emperor treating him like that?
It was obvious that the empress dowager loved this boy very much.
âIâŠâ Ye Lang was about to answer but the empress dowager cut him off. She took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the soot off his face. Such an endearing gesture made everyone realise he was very important to her.
âYou donât have to do thatâŠâ Ye Lang extended his arm and an alchemy formation appeared. He was bathed in light. In a few moments, the light faded and he became very, very clean.
âWho is he?â
Most of the guards didnât know Ye Lang because he hadnât shown his face here before. While he had caused a scene the last time, he was with Little Xin.
âHeâs Ye Lang!â
âPrincess Anqiâs son.â
âSo itâs him!â
âTime to go backâŠâ
ââŠâ
Listening to the guardsâ conversations, the three already knew Ye Langâs identity. They didnât expect the delivery boy was actually Ye Lang.
