Chapter 36 - Chapter 36 036. Make a quiet little report

Just as Liu Ruo Qing had expected, Empress Mother was even more dissatisfied with Yan Yuan's way of handling things.

"No matter how heavy the official duties are, can they be so burdensome that they leave the newly-wed wife alone in an empty room? Tian Xin, the Wailing Home knows that you are well-behaved and sensible, and does not wish for the Wailing Home to scold him, but look, he did not take your injuries seriously because of him, what the hell is this … "

When Tian Xin fell, it was fortunate that Prince held Tian Xin up. Prince even carried Tian Xin back to East Garden, and although he threw Tian Xin ruthlessly onto the ground in the process, Tian Xin knew that this was all part of Prince's plan …

Every word that she said was just right, as she had accurately grasped Empress Mother's emotions. In her complacent state, she had completely not noticed the person who had already been standing at the door for most of the time.

The atmosphere at the door was a little cold. Xiao Yue and the servants beside Empress Mother stood outside the door, trembling as they looked at the person who stood at the door. Seeing his gloomy face, Xiao Yue couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

He wondered if the Princess had said something that he shouldn't have.

Liu Ruo Qing's words sounded like she was trying to defend Yan Yuan, but in reality, she was completely complaining to the Empress Mother.

Hearing her words, the unhappiness in Empress Mother's eyes deepened, "Ninth Brother threw you to the ground?"

"royal sister-in-law, don't blame him. He definitely did not do it on purpose."

"He has already fallen heavily to the ground, is he not doing this on purpose?"

It was unknown if Empress Mother really believed Liu Ruo Qing's words, or if she was planning something in her heart.

This time, Liu Ruo Qing did not speak again. A short silence was tacit agreement, and without a sound, Yan Yuan was charged with a crime in front of Empress Mother.

In the depths of Liu Ruo Qing's eyes, there were a few more traces of complacency, and she had not noticed the surrounding atmosphere which had already condensed down.

"This Old Ninth, wait until he comes back, the Wailing Home must talk about him. You are so sensible and obedient, how can he treat you like this?"

"royal sister-in-law, actually, you can't blame him for this matter. After all, I have never even kowtowed to Prince before, so I can't be considered his wife. At most, I'm just a guest living in the King Jing Palace."

With that, she lowered her eyes with a sad expression. Her gloomy expression made her look especially pitiful.

"What are you saying? You are a Crown Princess Jing that the Wailing Home has personally witnessed! Although you did not pay your respects to a hall, you are still a legitimate Crown Princess Jing. You cannot belittle yourself."

"But Prince, he … He said so. "

With that, his eyes turned red.

"The Prince said that the heartlock that the Queen Mother left behind is for the Prince to live up to their name. Since Tian Xin and the Queen does not have a husband and wife's name, neither do they have a husband and wife, thus, he is unwilling to give that heartlock to Tian Xin …"

She finally switched the topic to the main topic at hand, and then she deliberately added — —

"Tian Xin did not insist on taking the heartlock. She just felt that it was something that the Queen Mother had left behind. Only with Tian Xin in her hands would she feel that she was the wife of the Prince Jing."

She looked at Empress Mother who was deep in thought and said: "royal sister-in-law, don't blame Prince. Since Prince is unwilling to acknowledge Tian Xin as his wife, Tian Xin will definitely work hard to make him like Tian Xin. Sooner or later, he will admit Tian Xin as his wife."

Her words were so fitting and appropriate, and Empress Mother was very satisfied with each sentence she said. In her heart, she was even more dissatisfied with Yan Yuan's actions.

It is rare that Tian Xin is so sensible, this Wailing Home is very pleased, but, Ol 'Nine's way of doing things, is indeed inappropriate. That heartlock was left to him by his mother in the first place, so it is natural that you deserve it.

In Liu Ruo Qing's heart, after hearing what Empress Mother had said, she was simply overjoyed.

"Thank you, royal sister-in-law."

She pulled at her sleeve and used the tears to wipe her face. She was beaming with happiness, but the next second, the smile on her face froze completely when she saw the expressionless face at the door.

She looked at Yan Yuan who was standing at the door unknowingly, and was unable to make a sound. She watched as Yan Yuan lifted his leg and walked in.

"royal sister-in-law."

Yan Yuan cupped his hands towards the Yan Yuan who had a face full of dissatisfaction. When Empress Mother saw him, a look of reproach appeared on his face, and he said: "Old Nine, it's just nice that you came."

Just as Empress Mother was about to speak, he was stopped by Yan Yuan. His expressionless eyes slowly turned towards Liu Ruo Qing's face which looked as if a great disaster was about to befall upon him.

"Love Consort seems to be dissatisfied with This King's actions during this period of time."

Yan Yuan's tone was so calm that it had no rhythm, but Liu Ruo Qing was able to hear the danger that was coming from it.

Liu Ruo Qing looked at him, and once again, couldn't help but taunt in his heart: Nonsense, you're not only slightly dissatisfied, you're actually extremely dissatisfied, alright?

"Tian Xin doesn't dare, Prince, you better not misunderstand Tian Xin."

With the Empress Mother here, the only thing Liu Gan had to do was pretend to be innocent and sympathize.

Now, Liu Ruo Qing understood that although she was the most powerful woman in the Empress Mother, she was also a kind and benevolent person. Especially someone that couldn't bear to see a girl like her being bullied.

Yan Yuan did not speak, he only looked quietly at Liu Ruo Qing's innocent face. After a long while, he raised a smile that made Liu Ruo Qing's hair to stand.

The smile was very beautiful, but it made Liu Ruo Qing's hair stand on end.

Then, he heard Empress Mother's voice continuing to ring, "Ol'ninth, don't blame Tian Xin, she's always been speaking good words about you to Wailing Home, and even if you threw her on the ground, she wouldn't think that you did it on purpose. Look at what a good wife you've married, how can you bully her like that?"

The smile on Yan Yuan's lips did not disappear from the end. Looking at the innocence in his eyes, the mockery in his eyes grew even stronger.

Speaking for him?

Who was that woman who had just said that he had 'viciously' thrown her to the ground?

Very good, this woman's ability to act good in front of the royal sister-in-law was truly first-rate.

He stared at Liu Ruo Qing for a long while, then slowly turned his head to face the Empress Mother and said: "royal sister-in-law, this Chendi knows his wrongs. In the future, I will definitely listen to your teachings and treat This King's wangfei well."

When Yan Yuan said the word "consort," he once again shifted his gaze to Liu Ruo Qing. His expression looked very gentle the entire time, but it still caused Liu Ruo Qing to feel an indescribable chill.

"Wailing Home is relieved that you can do this. For royal father and mother to be able to see the two of you living harmoniously in the sky, they will definitely be very pleased. "
