Father, Mother Escaped Again

Chapter 120

Chapter 120

Yan Ran has been suffering recently . On the one hand, he didn’t understand Li Yuan . He was willing to take responsibility, yet Li Yuan still avoided seeing himself and avoided him in every way possible . On the other hand, he was guilty of causing Xia Yuqing to give birth prematurely and was worried that people would retaliate . Waiting left and right for this so-called storm, Yan Ran decided he should conclude everything during the calm before the storm .

Having been so nervous for several days, Yan Ran was panicking and treating everyone as an enemy . Before others could even take action, he had almost died of mental exhaustion . Under this chaos and self torment, Yan Ran finally understood why some heinous thieves burned, killed, and looted in their youth, but was then willing to surrender and go to prison for the rest of their life . God, it is too cruel to be a heartbreaker!

With all sorts of torment and hardship, Yan Ran decided to give himself up . Wasn’t there a good saying? If you confess, they’ll be lenient, but resistance will make them more strict? Now that he surrendered himself and had a good attitude of pleading guilty, even if those girls were angry and beat him up, they shouldn’t be too hard on him .

But to be honest, Yan Ran was too optimistic . If he did this after eating Li Yuan clean at the beginning, the effect would have been very good, but now...

Yan Ran was sitting in the front hall of the Xiefang palace anxiously . Waiting for Xia Yuqing and others to arrive, he waited for a long time, but no one was seen . As soon as he picked up the tea on the side, he heard a low laugh .

“The Gorgeous Tutor has welcomed us with his presence, excuse us for not greeting you right away . ”

“Pu...” Yan Ran was startled . The tea in his mouth spurted out like a fountain .

“Oh...” The few palace maids on the side hurriedly blocked the spray of tea . Xia Yuqing also waved her hand at the spray that melted into the air with a look of disgust .

The complexion of Cui Er and the others changed slightly . Xia Yuqing was still in confinement now, she was not allowed to be exposed to wind or cold water . What’s the matter with Grand Tutor? Does he want Niang Niang to catch a cold? Since the Huo Feiyan incident, how can these girls tolerate others hurting Xia Yuqing? Of course, this simply added to his faults .

Yan Ran didn’t know that his failure had been added to his account, so he wiped the tea stains off the corners of his mouth, “Niang Niang, Chen...”

Before he finished his first sentence, he was interrupted by Cui Er: “Niang Niang, the Grand Tutor seems to be dissatisfied with the tea in our palace, is he going to blame us palace girls for inadequate hospitality?”

Lu Rui also hurriedly added: “Yes, Niang Niang, Nu Bi clearly saw the Grand Tutor spraying water at Niang Niang just now . Is it possible that he has something against Niang Niang?”

“...” Yan Ran really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn’t wash himself clean . With a bitter face, he said, “Niang Niang misunderstood . Chen was just too surprised to hear Niang Niang’s voice, so... it was not intentional . Please Niang Niang, forgive me . ”

Unexpectedly, Xia Yuqing became more upset after listening to Yan Ran’s explanation, “Too surprised to hear my voice? Is my voice so terrible? The Gorgeous tutor was so scared he spat out the tea? Hmph...”

“...Of course not, Niang Niang’s voice is like an oriole coming out of the valley . Niang Niang’s voice is beautiful and pleasing to the ears, Chen... Chen was just so gullied by Niang Niang’s voice, I ask Niang Niang to note this . ” This is the first time Yan Ran had to be so humble and kneel to others . Usually, even to Feng Tingye, Xu Lao, or even Zhang Sunshi, he would not have to be so tired and panicked . Speaking like this makes him want to cry!!!

Yet Xia Yuqing didn’t accept his efforts at all, she became more displeased with a cold snort: “Orioles, Orioles, is the Gorgeous Tutor mocking me and saying that everything I say is yellow*? You are yellow, your whole family is yellow! Also the way you are hesitating to speak means you are probably not speaking your actual thoughts, you are just a hypocrite!!”

* oriole = huang (yellow) ying

* yellow could also mean talking about dirty stuff (p**n), etc

“...” Yan Ran was seriously injured by the word hypocrite . He almost lost his fighting spirit . Tears have already started flowing in his heart . Why did I want to surrender? Why did I want to come to communicate with an irrational human? Ahhh, I can’t stand it anymore, where is the knife? Where is the knife? !

After Xia Yuqing finished speaking, Yan Ran didn’t refute . She became more convinced that it was what she thought . She gave someone a blank look with a calm face, then walked to the main seat and sat down . She spoke angrily: “Gorgeous Tutor why have you come today?”

“Eh...” Yan Ran glanced around without a trace, but didn’t notice the existence of Li Yuan . His heart trembled, and he swallowed hard, “Um, why is Yuan Er not here? Chen... Chen came here to find Yuan Er!”

“Yuan Er?” Xia Yuqing raised her eyebrows, “Cui Er, when did a girl named Yuan Er come to our palace? Why don’t I know?”

Cui Er smiled . She bowed and replied: “Responding to Niang Niang, not only Niang Niang, but Nu Bi also has never heard of a palace lady named Yuan Er who came to our palace . ”

Xia Yuqing nodded and turned to look at Yan Ran: “Gorgeous Tutor, there is no maid named Yuan Er in my palace, did you find the wrong place?”

“Um...” Yan Ran choked again and laughed dryly, “It’s Chen’s mistake . Chen is looking for a lady named Li Yuan . ”

“Oh, so you came to look for Xiao Yuan . Xiao Yuan just went out and is not in the palace . ”

“Not here? Then Chen will come again next time, I will leave first . ” Yan Ran seeing the current situation, wanted to slip out; but unfortunately, it is impossible for someone to let him go .

“Want to run? Not that easy! Cui Er, close the door and release Xiao Bai . ” Xia Yuqing lifted her eyebrows, and uttered a low halt towards the front hall doors .

“Yes, Niang Niang . ” The girls who were guarding the gate earlier pushed the doors and closed the entrance a second before Yan Ran rushed out .

Before Yan Ran recovered from the astonishment of being locked up by someone, he heard a loud dog bark behind him . He froze and turned around . His eyes shrank sharply .

Cui Er had grabbed several dogs out of nowhere . Apart from Xia Yuqing’s famous pet, Xiao Bai, who stood in the front and grinned at him, there were also several giant wolfhounds .

“Xiao Bai, go, bite this guilty man . ” Xia Yuqing gave an order . As soon as the rope in Cui Er’s hand loosened, Xiao Bai led a few wolfhounds and went straight to pounce on Yan Ran .

“Wowowo...” You dare to bully my rice ball sister . I’m going to bite you to death!

“Wowowo...” A gang of dog barks sounded from the front hall, making people feel terrified .

Yan Ran ran as soon as he saw the dogs running over, but a two-legged man could not outrun a four-legged beast after all . In a moment, his clothes were bitten off by one of the wolfhounds and peeled off his body with a rip .

Yan Ran’s face changed slightly . If he hadn’t dodged quickly just now, the wolfhound’s blood thirsty mouth would have greeted his thigh . Now due to his lag, several other big dogs on the side also rushed forward . Yan Ran raised his hand and wanted to swat it away, but suddenly heard Lu Rui who was standing next to Xia Yuqing exclaim .

“Oh, I forgot to tell Grand Tutor, except for Xiao Bai who is our mother’s pet, the other dogs are personally selected by the emperor and given to Niang Niang to help Xiao Bai continue its lineage . Grand Tutor, make sure you take it easy . I heard that these dogs are Western Terrier wolfhounds and are a precious breed . If you accidentally bump into them, the compensation will be a small matter, but Xiao Bai being angry will be a big deal . ”

Yan Ran raised his hand and froze suddenly . How could he not understand the meaning of Lu Rui’s words? When Xiao Bai is angry, it means that Xiao Bai’s owner Xia Yuqing would be angry . When Xia Yuqing is angry, his black-bellied friend, the owner of this family, will also be angry . Most importantly, Li Yuan will definitely be angry . At that time, he will suffer and die even worse .

“Oh...” Yan Ran felt wronged . A wolf dog unexpectedly hung on his arm, scratching him and making him release a painful cry . He reflexively threw the dog away from his arm . Everyone could only hear a “Jiu” sound, then the dog flew out like that .

Suddenly, Yan Ran burst out a swear word: “This dog is a f**king male . Your Xiao Bai is also male, how are they going to continue its lineage?”

“Uh...” Lu Rui was startled . She suddenly remembered that Cui Er had mentioned to Niang Niang that spring was coming and that Xiao Bai was already in heat . Niang Niang was so excited and had a heart-stirring look when she was choosing Xiao Bai’s spouse . She silently looked at the sky... She really didn’t know about this .

“What if it’s two male dogs? Nowadays, even sows can climb trees . It is not uncommon for two male dogs to give birth to a litter of puppies . ” Xia Yuqing raised her head and gave someone a disdainful look, as if she was mocking Yan Ran, you are really not in with the time!

Yan Ran was so angry that he almost vomited a mouthful of blood . Before he could catch his breath, the dogs who had been frightened by his flick just now rushed forward one after another .

“Still coming... aa...”

Seeing Yan Ran being chased by a group of vicious dogs, Lu Rui took out a bowl of early stewed lotus soup from the brocade box and coaxed Xia Yuqing to drink it .

Xia Yuqing was in the mood at the moment . She was naturally happy to watch a good show while eating . So, she did not refuse as usual and obediently took the porcelain bowl and began to eat silently .

Seeing this, Lu Rui couldn’t help but touch her chin . Perhaps she should tell the emperor to let the Grand Tutor come to Xiefang Hall often to walk the dog . Look how sweet Niang Niang is now! ! !

If Yan Ran knew that he has become a tool in the eyes of others, who knows what he’d think, poor Gorgeous Tutor ~~~

When Xia Yuqing finished that cup of lotus soup, Yan Ran basically had only half his life left .

Xia Yuqing had watched enough of the excitement, and she said compassionately: “Cui Er, go and bring Xiao Bai back . ”

“Yes, Niang Niang . ” Cui Er smiled and took back Xiao Bai who was running around in the chaos . After seeing Xiao Bai being carried back, the big dogs all ran towards Xiao Bai one by one, obediently surrounding Cui Er’s side .

Xia Yuqing touched her chin and watched this scene with satisfaction . It seems that in just a few days, Xiao Bai has become the leader of these dogs . Not bad, this child can be taught .

“Gorgeous Tutor, are you still running?” Xia Yuqing with one hand supporting her cheek looked at Yan Ran, who had collapsed on the ground . Her brows and eyes were slightly curved .

“No... not running . ” Yan Ran panted and wiped his face with his hand, feeling that he had never been so embarrassed since he was born .

“Since we’re not running away, let’s get it right . Tell me, how did you treat my family’s cute, gentle, and weak Xiao Yuan that night and how did you abandon her afterwards? How did you avoid responsibility and cause a beautiful flower to be tragically invaded by wind and rain to the point that she almost withered away? Hurry up and tell me the truth about the whole thing, otherwise... there will be a big punishment in store for you!”

Xia Yuqing’s words seemed to echo . The dogs in Cui Er’s hands immediately barked at Yan Ran fiercely several times, making Yan Ran shiver all over . He did not dare to conceal more at the moment . He repeated what happened that day: how he was affected by Xia Yuqing’s bowl of soup and how he pulled down an innocent flower and did something discordant . Afterwards, because he was too frightened... everything was laid out straight . Then he inevitably received countless gazes from everyone .

“In other words, after you ate my Xiao Yuan, you didn’t say anything . After you ate her, you ran away without saying a word to her . There was no explanation at all . Then thinking this event was over, you acted as if nothing happened?”

“I didn’t start this mess and ran...”

“Wowowo...” Before Yan Ran finished speaking, he received a few vicious dog threats . He could only bow his head: “Well, I indeed...”

Wu Wu Wu, is this the legendary obtaining confessions under torture? Unexpectedly, I, Yan Ran, who have made great contributions, a model of a hundred officials, a model for all ages, in the end, was bullied by a dog . Boohoo, my great fame! ! !

“But I thought about apologizing to Yuan... to Xiao Yuan, it’s just...” he got disturbed by a turtle(b**tard) soup, Yan Ran twitched his mouth . “Now I have come to my senses and want to take responsibility . Niang Niang, as the saying goes, Nan Zi Hui Tou Jin Bu Huan*, Xiao Yuan is already Chen’s person and that won’t change . Please Niang Niang allow Chen and Xiao Yuan to be together, so that Chen and Xiao Yuan can cultivate a positive fruit... .

* trying to say something is valuable, that even a wanderer would return and it cannot be exchanged with gold

“Bah, who’s your person? Who wants to cultivate a true fruit with you? Don’t put gold on your own face . If you want to be responsible to me, you have to see if I am willing! ” Yan Ran once again before he finished speaking was interrupted .

“Xiao Yuan, when did you come?” Xia Yuqing followed the voice and saw a familiar person standing by the open door, the other protagonist of the subject – Li Yuan .

“Not long, just when you first started talking . ” Li Yuan glanced at Yan Ran, who was not far away and sneered, “Grand Tutor suddenly changed his mind? It surely must not be as simple as you said . Nan Zi Hui Tou Jin Bu Huan? Haha, let me guess, it should be because of the words Qing Jiejie said to General He on the day Yun Xi left . ”

“...” A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yan Ran’s face, a trace of embarrassment of being hit on the mark . Although he did have complicated feelings for Li Yuan in his heart, it was undeniable that Xia Yuqing’s threat did indeed play a crucial role .

“Qing Jiejie, you can see it too . He doesn’t really want to be responsible to me at all . A twisted melon is not sweet . If he really wants to be responsible for me and regrets it, wouldn’t I...”

“No, if I am responsible for you, I will do it forever, and I will never...”

“You shut up . ” Lu Rui and Cui Er shouted at the same time, successfully making Yan Ran silent . The villain in his heart began to scratch the walls . Where did Tingye and that girl find so many amazing Ya tous for all of them to be like dominatrixes . Ah, someone please subdue them! ! !

“Xiao Yuan, don’t cry!” Xia Yuqing saw that Li Yuan was becoming more and more aggrieved with tears beginning to flow down her eyes . She became a little anxious at the moment and threw Yan Ran a disgusted look . If it weren’t for this beast, would her little rice ball be so wronged? Birds of a feather truly do flock together . Friends of a beast are also beasts, big beasts!

“Qing Jiejie, don’t pursue this matter anymore . Xiao Yuan knows that this happened and has no face to see the sisters in the palace . Now that the Grand Tutor is like this... I feel so wronged . I know I am just a little palace lady, not worthy of the Grand Tutor, and the Grand Tutor is not completely inexcusable . But even though I know I can’t blame the Grand Tutor, I am still a girl... wuwuwu Qing Jiejie please chase him out, I never want to see him anymore . I have nothing to do with him since then . Let’s let bygones be bygones, okay?” Li Yuan said pitifully with red eyes .

This made Xia Yuqing and the sisters who had always had a good relationship have red eyes . They unanimously cast condemning eyes on Yan Ran’s body, this heartless rat should die! ! !

Yan Ran really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn’t wash it off . He tried to explain, but Xia Yuqing sniffed and said, “Since Xiao Yuan said she won’t hold him accountable, someone come and throw this soulless person out of the palace . ”

“Yes, Niang Niang, I’ll do it!” Xia Yuqing gave an order, and all the palace maidens and guards rushed forward, vying to throw Yan Ran out . It was the first time that Yan Ran saw this kind of battle . Before he had time to resist, he was thrown out of Xiefang Hall . After being left in the cold wind for a long time, he woke up suddenly . What is this? What? ! ! !

Li Yuan listened to the wailing of someone outside the hall and the corners of her lips curled up where everyone could not see . She wiped away the tears that had been squeezed out by her pinching her own thigh . She stuck her tongue out in the direction outside the palace hall, hmph... if this tiger doesn’t show her might, do you really think she’s a sick cat? This sister has been in the palace courts for many years . If she didn’t have any acting skills, she would have died in Xue Country ages ago . Dare to play with me then run? This matter is not over! ! !

As Li Yuan said, this matter was not over . Although a certain rice ball said that it will not hold someone accountable, but according to the short-temperament of the group of people who fear the world will not be chaotic enough, this would not be the case . Before Yan Ran walked out of the front gate of the palace, the rumor that the Grand Tutor had forced himself on a certain palace maid had quietly spread .

Note that the focus of these rumors lies on the Grand Tutor . As for this unknown court lady, under the signal of Xia Yuqing and several heavyweight transmission sources, she was so deliberately or unintentionally submerged and forgotten .

What is the fastest in this world? ——Gossip! The Palace of Xiefang has always been the source of the gossip in this palace . No matter what gossip is spread through the Palace of Xiefang, it is bound to set off a storm in the palace and even outside the palace . Therefore, after Xiefang Hall spread the rumor that the Grand Tutor had ran after starting illicit sexual relations, Xiao Shunzi, who had long become Xia Yuqing’s loyal fan in Qianqing Palace, received the news immediately and began to spread it in Qianqing Palace . Naturally, it reached Feng Tingye’s ears .

Feng Tingye learned the ins and outs, and “accidentally” learned the reason why his Ai Fei had given birth prematurely, due to someone escaping responsibility . This immediately put away the trace of brotherly loyalty that was born at the beginning . Now, there was no psychological burden to this rumor . The spread drove to another great climax, directly affecting the Ci Ning Palace .

Aunt Meixi of Cining Palace knew that Zhang Sunshi didn’t like to interfere with the messy things of the juniors . However, not mixing in or stopping it is considered consent . What’s more, the empress dowager’s connivance with Consort Qing was not a once or twice thing, so the people below naturally knew how to deal with this matter .

As a result, this rumor inevitably spread outside the palace under the indulgence of Xia Yuqing, the master of the gossip gate . So far that now the name of Yan Ran being a heartbreaker can be said to be well deserved and well-known .

In the following days, Yan Ran lived in dire straits, a miserable life . He was like a thief when he went out . He always had to be aware of rotten eggs and tomatoes . The glorious past of his of being a romantic master fascinating thousands of young girls was no more . Furthermore, what made Yan Ran very angry was that as soon as this rumor came out, many large households completely regarded him as a negative teaching material . They would all warn their daughters not to marry such a bad-hearted man in the future . Furthermore, they would pull out His Majesty and how he looks and acts towards Xia Yuqing to compare and to criticize Yan Ran’s fickleness . This had made Yan Ran so angry, he almost vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, lamenting the injustice of heaven .

However, these were not the key points . The key point is that the old housekeeper of Yan Ran’s family found out about this matter . Of course, the old housekeeper who had served Yan Ran’s family for two generations cursed in rage . After a confession to Yan Ran’s deceased father and mother, he criticized Yan Ran for three entire days and finally denounced Yan Ran!

Xia Yuqing didn’t care what was going on in the final battle, because her attention was completely occupied by another thing at this time .

As soon as Xia Yuqing was able to get out of bed, Xia Yuqing dispatched her invincible mechanism bird to pass the news that she had given birth to two small buns to Liu Yixiang, who was far away in Xia Country . After Liu Yixiang learned the news, she was very excited and wanted to go straight to Ye Kingdom to see her newborn nephew and niece . However, the eldest prince, who had gradually turned into a wife’s slave, for fear that his wife would not return, was very determined in rejecting this proposal .

But how could Liu Yixing stop here? The two of them quarreled on this matter . Under the dispute, Liu Yixiang fought Xia Mingyuan . It turned out that something big happened after such a fight . It wasn’t that Xia Mingyuan had an accident . To everyone’s expectations, this time it was Liu Yixiang .
