Chapter 2493 - 72

"You’re absolutely infuriating!" Commandery Princess Dongyang was simply enraged.

No wonder Huarong couldn’t be properly taught; with someone constantly corrupting her, how could she be good?

"I deserve to die? Then go ahead and kill me, come and kill me..."

"Yangyang, quickly take her away, she’s driving me mad."

Mu Shaoling also waved his hand and said, "You handle it."

With the in-laws speaking, Ye Haoyang naturally obeyed.

He grabbed Mu Yubing and took her out for a while.

When he returned to the Mu Residence, everyone had gone back to their rooms, so Ye Haoyang went to Mu Huaen’s room.

"Not asleep yet?" When Ye Haoyang came back, he saw Mu Huaen sitting by the bed and gave a smile.

"You weren’t back yet."

"Now you can sleep." Ye Haoyang summoned a maid, got some water, washed up casually, and then blew out the light.

But Mu Huaen couldn’t fall asleep.

"Still not sleeping, what are you thinking about?"

"Brother Yang, do you think Huarong is like this by nature, or is she really influenced by Mu Yubing?" Earlier, her parents clearly blamed Mu Huarong’s issues on Mu Yubing, but she wasn’t so sure.

"Silly, obviously Father-in-law and Mother-in-law wanted someone to blame to vent their inner frustrations. They might not be unaware, even if Mu Huarong was influenced by Mu Yubing, it’s not entirely so; Mu Yubing hasn’t been with her lately, yet Mu Huarong hasn’t changed much."

"You’re right." Mu Huaen suddenly asked, "Why are there so many women in white around Mu Yubing? Who are they? They don’t seem to be under her command, otherwise why would they have left her?"

"Smart! Realized something was off?" Ye Haoyang laughed, "I’ve had people interrogate them overnight, maybe we’ll know by daylight. Alright, get some sleep, it’s almost dawn."

"Mm!"

Mu Huaen heard that and stopped talking, snuggling into Ye Haoyang’s embrace and fell asleep.

When the couple woke up again, daylight was streaming in, and the Mu Residence still smelled of burnt remnants, though the debris had been cleaned up.

"You’re up?" Commandery Princess Dongyang beckoned them, "Come over for breakfast."

"Where’s my dad?" Mu Huaen noticed only her mother and older brother were there.

"Your dad was summoned to the palace by the Emperor early on." Commandery Princess Dongyang replied, "Last night’s big event must have reached the palace."

"Will everything be alright?"

Dongyang smiled, "Don’t worry, it’s family business. The Emperor probably just wants to know if there was any damage."

"Oh!"

"Yangyang, have a seat." Dongyang invited her son-in-law, "Last night everyone was busy because of you two."

"No, it’s our duty."

"Good!" Commandery Princess Dongyang was already pleased with him, and hearing this, she was even more satisfied. "Try this crab roe bun; I had someone go to East City to buy it this morning."

Ye Haoyang loved this bun from that place.

"Thank you, Mother-in-law."

But Commandery Princess Dongyang said, "Don’t call me ’Mother-in-law,’ call me ’Mom,’ it sounds nicer."

"Yes, Mom!"

Dongyang was even more delighted, "If it weren’t morning, I’d have someone pack roasted suckling pig slices for you from Ju De Lou, but that’s too greasy for breakfast."

"Mom, this is already great."

Mu Niancheng looked across, smacking his lips, "Who’s really the biological one?"

"Well, it definitely isn’t either of us." Mu Huaen laughed, "We’re both secondary now."

"Neither of you can compare to how much Yangyang is cherished?"
