Chapter 975: Chapter 824, The Empress Dowager Causes Trouble Chapter 975: Chapter 824, The Empress Dowager Causes Trouble After sending Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong away, Daohua sat in her room, reminiscing about Luo Qiong’s recent actions.
When Xiao Yeyang returned from the office, he noticed that Daohua hadn’t seen him and quietly approached her, enveloping her from behind, “What are you thinking about that has you so engrossed?”
Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang had co back and imdiately bead with a smile, “Thinking about Luo Qiong.”
Xiao Yeyang took Daohua’s spot, sitting down and placing her sideways on his lap, “What about her?”
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang, tapping his chest with her finger, “Do you know what Luo Qiong told today?”
Xiao Yeyang caught Daohua’s hand, pecked it with his lips, then nonchalantly asked, “What did she say?”
Daohua withdrew her hand and glanced sideways at Xiao Yeyang, “She said you have a kept woman outside.”
The initially relaxed Xiao Yeyang abruptly sat up, his expression turning stone-cold. Seeing Daohua blinking her almond-shaped eyes curiously at him, his deanor gradually softened, and he leaned back in his chair.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang remained silent, Daohua imdiately felt displeased and nudged him, “Hey, aren’t you going to deny it, then pledge your loyalty or sothing?”
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile, lifted her chin to look him in the eyes, “After all this ti, do we still need that? Don’t you know what’s in my heart?”
Daohua pushed Xiao Yeyang’s hand away, “Sotis, love needs to be expressed…”
Before she could finish speaking, Daohua felt her body leaning backward, then Xiao Yeyang’s lips sealed hers.
After a passionate kiss, Daohua’s hands fell weakly onto Xiao Yeyang’s shoulders, her head buried in his chest, gasping for breath, and glared at his laughing face.
Xiao Yeyang said, “Was that sincere enough for you? If not, we could always take it elsewhere.” He lowered his head to kiss Daohua’s ear, “I’ll make sure you fully feel what’s in my heart.”
Daohua rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to him anymore.
Xiao Yeyang chuckled, then bent down again to kiss Daohua’s cheek.
Feeling Xiao Yeyang’s hands starting to roam inappropriately, Daohua quickly stood up from his hold, straightened her clothes in front of the dressing mirror.
Xiao Yeyang laughed heartily, but soon, his smile faded, and a coldness crept into his eyes.
Luo Qiong… How perfect she is, bringing the rumor of wearing a cuckold’s hat to the Prince Residence, even daring to stir up trouble!
After tidying up her clothes, Daohua went to the window, watering the flowers in the vase, and spoke, “This Luo Qiong, she’s administering absolute dicine to Xiao Yechen and has boldly started troubling us, acting hell-bent on fighting for the Prince Residence’s title. What does that tell us?”
Seeing Xiao Yeyang with a serious face not speaking, Daohua continued, “It shows she values the child in her womb, that she loves the father of the child dearly. Do you think the man who caught Luo Qiong’s eye would be ordinary?”
While speaking, Daohua, as if having an idea, put down the watering can, walked to Xiao Yeyang, wrapped her arms around his neck, and settled onto his lap.
“The situation at the Duke Residence is so complicated, you think… Could it be that Luo Qiong is not the Duke’s biological daughter? Like maybe the Duchess had a baby mix-up or that Luo Qiong is just adopted.”
Watching Daohua’s eyes ablaze with gossip, Xiao Yeyang looked helpless, “What are you thinking about? Luo Qiong is the Duke’s biological daughter.”
Daohua uttered an ‘oh,’ her expression slightly disappointed, “Well, if that’s the case, then the man Luo Qiong is seeing on the side couldn’t possibly be Luo Honghao.”
Xiao Yeyang rubbed his forehead, feeling weary, “What kind of ssy storybooks have you been reading? I have people watching Luo Honghao every day.”
Daohua replied, “Alright, my bad.” She said, then shook Xiao Yeyang, “Then who do you think is the man Luo Qiong is seeing on the outside?”
Xiao Yeyang squinted his eyes, “I am wondering about the sa thing.”
Just then, they heard Wang Manman’s voice from outside the room, “Miss.”
Daohua got up from Xiao Yeyang’s lap, “Co in.”
Wang Manman entered the bedroom, “Miss, Sir, soone from the palace has just co. They say the Empress Dowager has heard about the eldest lady’s pregnancy and has invited her to co to the palace for a talk tomorrow morning.”
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang exchanged glances, “Understood.”
…
Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager held Luo Qiong’s hand, praising this granddaughter-in-law while laughing with the noblewon who were also invited to the palace for a chat.
Since Jiang Jinghui’s death, the Empress Dowager had been gravely ill for a while. Now, after several months, her health was almost back to normal.
