CHAPTER 723: CHAPTER 590: THREE-MONTH HONEYMOON

Housekeeper Mu saw that Feng Lan was truly enraged and thus had to pack Feng Xun’s clothes and some books and Elixir Pills he often read, sending them along with the Sword Slave to the Daxia Embassy.

Before leaving, Housekeeper Mu didn’t forget to pull Ye Lingyue aside.

"Miss Ye, please take care of the young master from now on. The Sword Slave has been serving the young master since he was young, so I’m also entrusting him to your care."

And just like that, Feng Xun was thoroughly disconnected from the Feng Residence.

Feng Xun, holding a parcel, his Phoenix Eyes brimming with... excitement.

Yes, excitement.

In Ye Lingyue’s eyes, Feng Xun looked exactly like a well-behaved student thrilled with the excitement of skipping school for the first time.

No wonder, since growing up, Feng Xun had never run away from home. Free from the affairs of the Feng Residence, he felt as light as a feather.

"You, you, you! Feng Xun, how can you not be upset at all?" Ye Lingyue rummaged through Feng Xun’s parcel and true enough, there really wasn’t much in it.

That stingy old man Feng Lan, after all the Qi I spent reviving him... If I had known he was such a cheat, I would have ripped him off a fortune in medical bills.

"Ah, Feng Xun, I regret it! I’ve seen daughters-in-law cursing their in-laws to meet King Yan sooner, but never one as foolish as me, reviving someone who robs their inheritance." Ye Lingyue’s face twisted into the shape of a bitter melon, sighing heavily.

That’s the Feng Residence we’re talking about, the richest family in Beiqing, probably even the richest in the world.

Feng Xun couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He took Ye Lingyue into his arms and pinched her nose.

"Yue’er, why should I be sad? The one who should be sad is Feng Lan." Feng Xun’s handsome lips curved into a smile. "That old man, so obsessed with face, kicked me out of the house. Bet he’ll be crying for me to come back in three months. Your place as the daughter-in-law of the Feng Residence is secured."

Feng Xun pronounced ’old man’ with such fluency.

Ye Lingyue’s eyes widened, stunned. Could it be that Feng Xun was struck with insanity? His smile, it looked so wicked.

But damn it, she found herself blushing under his smile, even forgetting to resist when she cheekily bit her own cheek.

By the time Ye Lingyue came back to her senses, Feng Xun had already locked her in his arms, his tongue entering her mouth, drawing the sweetness from her lips as they kissed deeply, inseparable.

"Who, who is the daughter-in-law of the Feng Residence?" Ye Lingyue protested with flushed cheeks and a racing heart, pushing Feng Xun a little. "Feng Xun, Emperor Beiqing doesn’t approve of our marriage, and neither does Feng Lan. We don’t have our parents’ decree or the matchmaker’s words, have you considered carefully if we’re really suitable for each other?"

The affair between Princess Qingfeng and Feng Lan greatly affected Ye Lingyue.

Especially after she learned that the Heavenly Venerate had also judged that their birth signs were incompatible.

It was just an incompatibility, yet it caused the Feng Lan couple to separate for more than ten years; when Feng Lan awoke, he and Qing Feng were like strangers.

As for her and Feng Xun, their signs contradicted each other... the meaning of contradiction wasn’t anything short of life and death, just like water and fire can’t coexist.

Heavenly Destiny, although Ye Lingyue didn’t entirely believe in it, there seemed to be a preordained fate in the obscurities.

"Besides you, I cannot think of anyone else worth my affection. Ling Yue, I know not having our parents’ decree or the matchmaker’s words is an injustice to you. If you’re unwilling, we don’t have to get married right away, and I will absolutely not impose myself upon you. Believe me, it won’t be long before I solve these problems. When the time comes, I’ll marry you with a grand wedding procession and never leave you for life." Feng Xun caressed Ye Lingyue’s delicate face and whispered a lifelong promise into her ear.

His words, filled with love and longing, melted into Ye Lingyue’s heart.

For a moment, Ye Lingyue was also infatuated.

"Yue Marquis, outside the embassy, Beiqing Cong Lv requests an audience."

As Ye Lingyue blushed and felt embarrassed by Feng Xun’s teasing, the voice of Sword Slave interrupted the conversation between Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun.

Ye Lingyue’s face turned even redder, as she hastily pulled away from Feng Xun’s embrace.

Only then did she realize that Sword Slave had been guarding outside the door all along, and the words she had shared with Feng Xun must have all been overheard by Sword Slave.

That Big Fool, Sword Slave, though, had a face as usual, seemingly accustomed to his young master and Miss Ye’s mushy talk.

"Cong Lv? Throw him out."

Feng Xun clearly hadn’t calmed down regarding Cong Lv and spoke in a dismissive tone.

The incident with Melted Gold Water, though ultimately thwarted by Ye Lingyue’s cleverness, hadn’t succeeded.

But if Xue Pianran’s scheming had been successful, Ye Lingyue would have faced either disfigurement or severe punishment.

Although Feng Xun and Cong Lv had been close since childhood, the recent mistakes made by Cong Lv because of Xue Pianran had worn thin the bond they once shared.

"Feng Xun, he is after all a good friend from your childhood. This is a classic case of favoring love over friendship," Ye Lingyue said with a smile, seeing Feng Xun display anger for the first time, knowing it was because he was standing up for her.

"My connection with him spans just a few years. But with you, it’s a lifetime. Besides, you are my woman; if I don’t treat you well, whom else should I treat well?" Feng Xun continued with his gentle words.

Ye Lingyue found it quite heartwarming, and her heart lightened up. Her dissatisfaction with Cong Lv diminished a bit.

"Let him come in, after all. He is innocent too. His Spiritual Artifact is broken, and he has been stripped of his official rank. Whatever anger I had has dissipated. Moreover, I happen to have something to discuss with him."

Ye Lingyue indeed had something to discuss with Cong Lv, and it was related to Xue Pianran.

Cong Lv stood alone outside the temporary embassy of Daxia.

Due to the fire set by Nine Corpse Wanderer, the Daxia Embassy was destroyed. During the palace banquet, to prevent Ye Lingyue from staying in Feng Residence, Emperor Beiqing promptly allocated a small nation’s station and temporarily made it the Daxia Embassy.

After the fallout with Feng Residence, Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun temporarily lived there.

Cong Lv, feeling anxious, thought Ye Lingyue would not agree to see him. However, Sword Slave stepped out and quickly ushered him inside.

Cong Lv knew Feng Xun was also in the embassy, and the news that the former Prince Feng was still alive had been eagerly proclaimed by Emperor Beiqing at dawn.

The court was in an uproar, but more surprisingly, Emperor Beiqing also announced the restoration of Feng Lan’s position as Prince Feng. As for Feng Xun, he was expelled from Feng Residence for the crime of treason.

After entering the embassy, just as Cong Lv sat down, he saw Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun coming out together.

Seeing Feng Xun, Cong Lv felt a bit awkward.

Their good brotherhood of the past had turned sour because of Xue Pianran.

Feng Xun didn’t want to say more, but it was Ye Lingyue who greeted Cong Lv with ease and invited him to sit down.

"Guard Cong, go ahead and speak your business."

Cong Lv hesitated for a moment, lacking the mood for pleasantries, and directly got to the point of his visit.

"Yue Marquis, I’ve heard of your high-level medical skills, and I wish to ask you to take a look at Pian Ran’s illness."
