CHAPTER 658: CHAPTER 540

Today is Prince Jin’s son’s wedding, but Lu Zhaoyan is having a more chaotic time than Prince Jin.

The reason is nothing else but his father-in-law who is too good at causing trouble.

"...That’s about it, the repair cost is roughly five thousand taels. Your Highness, should I put it on your tab?"

The steward at Jin Prince Mansion read a long list in one breath and was out of breath after finishing.

Lu Zhaoyan held his forehead: "Put it on the tab, put it on the tab, a heavy debt doesn’t burden the body."

The steward quickly said, "Please make sure to settle it! Otherwise, my head... won’t be safe."

Lu Zhaoyan didn’t make things difficult for a servant: "Got it, have you finished reading? If you have, I’m leaving."

The father-in-law has gone missing again.

He has to go find him.

He deeply regretted not bringing Steward Jia today.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince——"

The steward called out to him.

Lu Zhaoyan closed his eyes: "Find the Imperial Grandson!"

The steward thought for a moment: "That might work, hey, Your Highness, where is the Imperial Grandson?"

Lu Zhaoyan was already walking away: "He’s in your mansion. If he’s missing, ask your people to find him!"

The steward choked: "Seems... to make sense."

He called over a servant, "Have you seen the Imperial Grandson?"

Three servants shook their heads in unison.

The steward muttered: "The Imperial Grandson hasn’t come?"

The square-faced servant said: "He came, just don’t know where he went."

The steward bared his teeth: "A living person, how could he get lost in Jin Prince Mansion? Oh no, it’s the Imperial Grandson’s first time here at our mansion; he might really have gotten lost! You guys, quickly call more people to find the Imperial Grandson!"

Another servant asked puzzledly: "Steward Qi, why do we need to find the Imperial Grandson?"

The steward pointed to the list in his hand: "To approve the expenses! Every item has to be reviewed by someone from the Crown Prince Mansion to avoid them saying our Jin Prince Mansion cheated them!"

The relationship between the two mansions is terrible; when it comes to silver, it’s better to be clear.

The servants split up to look.

"Which family’s young lady, so beautiful and graceful, has caught my eye? Could you do me the honor of meeting at the pavilion? I happen to have a treasure here that you might enjoy seeing together with me."

As soon as the Miao King left, Meng Qianqian was stopped by a chubby man wearing a dark blue brocade garment.

Meng Qianqian turned around, her eyes calm like ancient wells looked at him indifferently.

She wore a veil, yet those stunning eyes still took the man’s breath away.

The man looked her up and down: "From the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion? Which junior sister are you? I’ve never seen you before."

Meng Qianqian originally did not want to engage with him, but upon hearing "junior sister," she spoke gently: "I’ve never seen you either."

"Oh."

The man elegantly dusted his wide sleeves, speaking with pride and satisfaction, "The Pavilion Master is my uncle."

"Oh."

Meng Qianqian replied lightly as if it was a breeze.

Xiao Rong’er’s nephew.

The grandson of Sect Leader Xiao.

Why do all these spoiled young masters think so highly of themselves?

"The Young Master of the Seven Stars Sect?"

She asked.

The man cleared his throat.

A little follower by the side puffed out his chest and said: "He’s the eldest young master of the Seven Stars Sect!"

The eldest young master, but not the Young Master.

A son by a concubine.

Meng Qianqian lost interest and turned to leave.

"Hey——"

Xiao Chen stretched out his arm to block her path, "Little junior sister, leaving so soon? Join your senior brother for a drink or two, your senior brother has a treasure for you!"

Meng Qianqian said: "If you don’t want to die, step aside."

Xiao Chen laughed in surprise: "Wow, it hasn’t been too many years and now someone from the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion dares not to respect this young master? If you’re not going to accept the toast, then you’ll have to take the punishment! This young master is about to—ouch!"

He was just about to lay hands on Meng Qianqian when he suddenly got kicked flying.

He fell awkwardly under a tree, unable to regain his composure due to the pain.

"Young master——"

The little follower hurriedly helped him up.

"Who dares to lay a finger on this young master?"

Xiao Chen was about to call in people to beat up the offender when he saw the wedding attire of the man in front of him and immediately fell silent.

Lu Qi said indifferently: "Get out of Jin Prince Mansion."

Xiao Chen was supported up by the little follower, clutching his pained chest and said angrily: "I, I, I am your brother-in-law!"

Lu Qi coldly said: "Get out!"

Several grandmasters from Jin Prince Mansion appeared, throwing out Xiao Chen and his follower.

Afterward, Lu Qi didn’t even glance at Meng Qianqian before walking toward the reception hall.

Meng Qianqian looked in the direction from which he came.

That should be his and Gongsun Liuying’s bridal chamber.

They had finished the ceremony not long ago.

Which means, as soon as they entered the bridal chamber, he left the bride to entertain guests.

Meng Qianqian looked at the tree Xiao Chen crashed into and raised an eyebrow: "Young people have such a temper."

"Sister! Sister!"

Tan’er, holding candied haws, came running over excitedly.

Meng Qianqian asked: "What’s up?"

Tan’er pouted: "The candied haws, taste bad."

Meng Qianqian laughed: "When we get back to Capital City, I’ll buy you a hundred sticks, so you can eat as much as you want."

Tan’er nodded contentedly and then giggled: "Sister, do you want to watch a good show?"

Meng Qianqian asked in confusion: "What good show?"

Tan’er’s eyes sparkled: "Emperor Liang and Miao King’s show! So exciting! So thrilling! So mighty!"

Meng Qianqian’s brow twitched.

The plan was to beat up Gongsun Yanming, how did it become a fight with Emperor Liang?

Meng Qianqian and Lu Zhaoyan arrived around the same time.

Emperor Liang and the Miao King were fighting fiercely.

Lord Yu arranged for people to guard the garden, preventing guests from watching the emperor fight.

Then he turned around and was startled by the people on the roof.

Yu Zichuan, Shangguan Ling, Ji Li, Si Snake, and Chen Long, all wide-eyed and staring intently.

No choice, a clash between two top masters is rare.

Just a glance could be immensely beneficial.

Lu Zhaoyan brought Meng Qianqian into the garden.

The two of them each blocked Emperor Liang and the Miao King.

Lu Zhaoyan tightly hugged his father, closed his eyes, and bravely advised: "Father Emperor, love the people like your children, love the people like your children!"

Emperor Liang, seething with anger, used all his imperial restraint to suppress his murderous aura and flicked his sleeve: "Hmph!"

Meng Qianqian softly said: "Grandfather, stop fighting, I’m worried for you, if you get tired, I won’t know how to explain to Grandma."

At the mention of Xian’er, the Miao King calmed down instantly: "You saw it, I was about to win!"

Meng Qianqian repeatedly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, but after all, it’s his grandson’s wedding today, give him some face."

The Miao King put his hands on his hips: "Since you put it that way, I’ll give him face!"

Meng Qianqian glanced at his slightly trembling right leg: "Grandfather is the best!"

Although Emperor Liang gave the Miao King a kick, the Miao King also struck him with a hand chop, numbing his entire back.

Naturally, he would never admit it.

Emperor Liang glared at him: Love the people like children!

The Miao King sneered: Once a master, always a father!

Emperor Liang: If a child isn’t taught, it’s the father’s fault!

The Miao King: If the disciple is unfilial, it’s the master’s fault!

"Hmph!"

"Huh!"

The two turned away in disdain.
