This made Madam Wei’s face look displeased.
She furrowed her brows slightly, about to lose her temper, but was secretly stopped by Duke Huan pulling her sleeve.
Madam Wei, considering the bigger picture, held back in the end.
Duke Huan said, "Alright, let’s not ntion these things anymore."
"I believe that since you’ve decided to return, you wouldn’t just say a few harsh words."
"Chuan’er, now that you’re back, don’t leave. I’ve already had the servants prepare the East Garden for your stay."
"Later, when your two sisters return from school, you can et them too."
Guoguo was planning to turn and leave.
But thinking of the plan agreed upon with the Princess, he held back.
Guoguo looked up, glaring coldly at Duke Huan.
"I can stay, but I have three demands that you must et."
"First, my friends must live with , and their food, clothing, and expenses cannot be less than mine."
"Second, wherever I go and whatever I do is my freedom, and you cannot interfere."
"Third, bring back my mother’s morial tablet and place it in the ancestral hall so she can receive offerings."
The last demand made Madam Wei sowhat angry.
"Song Yingchuan, you haven’t returned ho for so many years, and as soon as you co back you say these things. Do you have no sense of propriety?"
Guoguo’s attitude was very firm: "If you don’t agree, I’ll leave with my friends."
"After all, I’ve been outside for so many years, I’m not attached to what the Duke Huan Mansion has!"
Duke Huan hurriedly waved his hand, "Alright, alright, I agree to everything you said!"
"We haven’t even spoken a few words and you’re about to argue, what’s the point?" he said while glaring at Madam Wei.
No matter how angry Madam Wei felt inside, she couldn’t vent.
In front of Guoguo, Duke Huan called for the housekeeper.
"These two young gentlen and one young lady will stay together in the East Garden."
After all, the East Garden is large, with several vacant rooms.
"Also, have soone carve a morial tablet, open the ancestral hall, and place Chuan’er’s concubine mother’s morial tablet inside."
Watching the housekeeper busy with arrangents, Guoguo finally swallowed his anger.
They were about to head to the East Garden to rest, and as they passed Duke Huan, Duke Huan suddenly asked, "Did Baili Wu not co back with you?"
Without turning his head, Guoguo coldly said, "That guy has sticky fingers. On the road, I found him annoying and killed him."
When he finished speaking, Duke Huan was stunned.
Watching Guoguo walk away with Bai Zhi’er and the others into the distance.
In his mory, this son of his was very insecure and sensitive.
Since when did he transform into soone so decisive and ruthless?
Duke Huan squinted his eyes.
He began to doubt whether letting Guoguo return was a wise decision.
"Master, he is so arrogant, yet you still bolster his arrogance. I truly can’t stand it!"
After they left, Madam Wei waited until the servants had retreated before losing her temper.
She angrily sat on the chair, her chest aching with frustration.
A son born of a concubine dares to speak to her like this?
Duke Huan looked at Madam Wei with a sinister gaze: "You can’t stand it? Then what about Liang’er?"
"If you don’t let Song Yingchuan return, are you going to sit in prison or be executed instead of Liang’er?!"
Thinking of her own son still imprisoned, Madam Wei fell silent.
Duke Huan let out another cold snort.
"I say you’re soft-hearted, and you refuse to accept it. Just let him be happy for a few days, so what? After all, his life is ant to save our own son!"
Duke Huan’s gaze was cold and venomous, like a snake.
He wouldn’t feel any pity for Guoguo wandering outside for so many years.
Guoguo is like his mother, ungrateful, people like this are ant to be used and discarded!
