Both of them, chasing and racing, neither noticed the strangeness in the room or the sounds coming from it.
"Dad, big brother has gone to the gambling house again... Ah!" Meng Chunyan abruptly pushed open the door, only to see a scene of a vivid Live Sex, quickly covering her eyes and turning her back.
Meng Yuanjian followed closely behind and upon entering, immediately saw the seductive body of one of his father’s Little Concubines and his dad’s diligent toiling pose.
Meng Tong became angry and embarrassed, his sprinting interrupted, he almost became impotent. He didn’t even bother to see clearly who had come in, and snatched up a pillow nearby to furiously throw it out!
"Get out, all of you, get the hell out!"
Meng Chunyan and her siblings were chased out with embarrassed expressions, no one daring to bring up again the matter of cutting off Meng Tong’s allowance.
However, as noon approached, Meng Tong was still not coming out from the Little Concubine’s bed, leaving the siblings astonished; no wonder the wine shop’s business had declined greatly of late.
During lunchtime, Princess Anle and her entourage returned to the Fuman Building. They hadn’t heard about the Rice Flower Fragrance matter, but their ears had practically calloused over from all the talk about the Century-old Cake Shop along the way.
After asking Lin Yuan, they learned the whole story and couldn’t help but berate the profit-obsessed, avaricious Shopkeeper Chen again.
What displeased Princess Anle even more was that upon their return to the Fuman Building, they encountered several people she least wanted to see.
"Madam," the dark-faced man at the front greeted respectfully with a fist in palm, "The General has dispatched us to request Madam’s return to the Capital city."
Upon seeing him, Xia Zheng immediately laughed; his father acted swiftly, sending the Hidden Guard Leader out as soon as he realized his wife had sneaked off.
Princess Anle’s face was full of displeasure, "I’ve just met with my son and you want me to go back? No, I won’t leave. You all go back, I want to stay here for a few more days."
The Hidden Guard Leader, true to his title, remained expressionless, with a countenance even sourer than Lin Yi’s.
"Madam, the General said that if you wish to accompany the Second Master, let me bind and bring back the Second Master as well," he said.
Xia Zheng was immediately taken aback, hastily waving his hands, "Why, why? If it weren’t for me informing you, could you have arrived so quickly? Now you cross the river and tear down the bridge, wanting to tie me up and take me back too! No way, I refuse! Refuse!"
Princess Anle slapped her son’s head with a scoff, "You scoundrel! I wondered how your father could send someone so quickly, turns out it was you who betrayed me! I’ll beat you into mince!"
Xia Zheng made a pitiful face, hugging Princess Anle’s arm and said with a grin, "Mother dear, I was just worried that dad would miss you, so I sent him a message. Actually, it’s kind of sad for dad, you left without a word, leaving him all alone in the Capital city, think about how much he must miss you. Besides, aren’t you afraid that dad will take the chance while you’re not watching to bring a few more Little Concubines into the house?"
Hidden Guard’s mouth twitched, crying out an injustice for the General far away in the Capital city.
Princess Anle’s eyelids twitched, almost falling for it. However, she knew what kind of person Xia Yuan was better than anyone, and with a fierce slap on Xia Zheng’s forehead, she huffed, "Nasty boy, I almost got fooled by you! How could I not know what your dad’s like, don’t try to drive a wedge between us here! Careful or he’ll beat you with a big knife when we get back, and I won’t protect you!"
Xia Zheng laughed and made light of it, knowing Princess Anle was just saying that—how could she really not care?
Lin Yuan watched carefully from the side, aware that Princess Anle was torn between not wanting to leave her son, yet also worried about her home.
In the end, Princess Anle still decided to leave, and Xia Zheng wasn’t taken away by force either. With Lin Yuan there, Princess Anle couldn’t really have him bound and taken back to the Capital city.
