CHAPTER 748: CHAPTER 750, A FRIGHT (4 UPDATES)

If it wasn’t for Le Xun seducing the Prince, how could she have lashed out?

"Enough, there’s no need for explanations. For the sake of the children’s matrimonial matters, I won’t pursue this further, but you and Noble Consort Wei must cut ties completely!"

The Emperor was in his prime, how could he possibly allow several princes to grow too powerful.

This time, the Princess Consort of Prince Zhong didn’t dare involve Prince Zhong.

But her heart felt ice-cold.

So, it was she who had stirred up this trouble!

New Year’s Eve, a time of joy for all families.

Even the poorest households tried to have a satisfying meal, and at this moment, the streets of the Capital City were mostly empty.

Those few who were out were all hurrying home.

Even the shops on the street had closed their doors.

Prince Rui Residence

Chu Yu stared in shock at the child cradled in Princess Jinfeng’s arms and couldn’t come back to his senses for a long time.

"Did you pick this child up?"

Princess Jinfeng smiled, "Of course not, this is my child, my own flesh and blood!"

Chu Yu took a deep breath to suppress the urge to strangle Princess Jinfeng.

"Who’s the father of the child?" Chu Yu asked darkly.

New Year’s Eve, so much for the ’pleasant surprise’.

What a ’pleasant surprise’ indeed.

"Look there!" Princess Jinfeng puckered her lips towards a spot.

As Chu Yu looked over, Leng Binghan remained silent as usual. Chu Yu bellowed, "Leng Binghan, you’re seeking death!"

He made a move with lightning speed towards Leng Binghan.

Leng Binghan did not go easy due to his mistake, but instead engaged in a serious exchange of blows with Chu Yu.

Princess Jinfeng glanced over and knew that once Chu Yu was done with Leng Binghan, he would come for her.

She needed to find a safe place to hide.

At this point, who else could keep her eldest brother, Chu Yu, in check aside from Yun Jinnian?

"Si Ju, Si Qin, let’s go to the Han Residence!"

She had already inquired and knew that Yun Jinnian was at the Han Family. By going there now, she could also have a hearty meal.

Princess Jinfeng immediately picked up the child and, taking Si Qin and Si Ju with her, left the Prince Rui Residence and headed straight for the Han Residence.

Han Residence dining hall

Brightly lit

Yun Jinnian was talking to Han Xuzi, Han Tianci was helping Mrs. Han set up bowls and chopsticks, and Mrs. Yuan was arranging the dishes on the table.

The whole family was joyous and harmonious.

For this year’s reunion dinner, Mrs. Yuan was going to join the table. Although she was just a wet nurse, during those hardest years, she had stood by Yun Jinnian’s side unwaveringly, and thus held a high status in the Han Residence.

"Father, Jinnian, dinner’s ready!"

The reunion dinner should be enjoyed slowly, with a bit of wine to drink.

The maids and old women had either gone down to have their meals or had gone home, even the Hidden Guards had mostly withdrawn to have their meals, but they hadn’t gone far. They could still appear immediately at the slightest disturbance.

The family sat together, with Han Tianci pouring wine.

Han Xuzi smiled contently and stroked his beard.

"Before we start our meal, let’s drink a toast. After so many years, our family is finally sitting together for New Year’s Eve dinner. This is also a reunion meal," said Han Xuzi with a hint of emotion.

In the past, there was always someone missing, whether one or another.

Today was good, everyone was here.

"Grandfather, Jinnian toasts to you. From now on, we shall all be together for New Year’s every year!" Yun Jinnian said, standing up with his glass towards Han Xuzi.

"Good, from now on, we shall spend every New Year’s together!" Han Xuzi lifted his glass and drank in one gulp.

Yun Jinnian just took a light sip.

Han Tianci also raised his glass, "Grandfather, Tianci toasts to you too. Like my sister, I too wish for us all to be together every New Year!"

"Good, good!"

Mrs. Han watched, her eyes slightly reddening as she lifted her glass and knelt before Han Xuzi.

"Father..."
