Chapter 230 Father and Son's Unrequited Love Affair

Ye Xiao never imagined that these days, one could inherit not only property and titles but also unwanted romantic entanglements.

Seeing that he couldn't reach his father, those people all came to him instead.

He did want to say a few harsh words.

But this time, those people changed their tactics; it was all young girls acting on their own.

One threw a sachet, another dropped a handkerchief in front of him, and they all acted coy and shy, as if they wanted to say something but were too embarrassed to speak.

The boldest among them was to greet him head-on, bow, call him "Young Master Xiao," and then cover their face and run away.

What can he do? Chase after him and yell at him?

I don't know what's wrong with He Zhang. Even though their work hours are different, he always comes to pick him up after his shift.

That's not a big deal, the problem is that he always has a long face, like someone owes him money.

If you don't want to come, then don't come. It's like someone begged you to come. Who are you giving that attitude to?

Ye Xiao was never one to swallow his anger, and he got annoyed when He Zhang gave him a hard time.

He rattled off a string of words like a ruffled rooster, and after arguing, he turned and went into the palace without listening to anyone's explanation.

It was still quiet in the palace; no one dared to mess with him, and He Zhang couldn't get in.

Unfortunately, this young master underestimated his current status, and things weren't peaceful in the palace either.

From the time he entered the palace to the time he went to his father's courtyard, less than two incense sticks' worth of time passed, during which he encountered seven or eight young palace maids who struck up conversations with him and flirted with him.

Their eyes were like those of wolves, even more so than those of the women outside the palace.

Just as he was about to reach his father's courtyard, another second-class palace maid blocked his way, holding a sachet in her hand with bright eyes.

Ye Xiao frowned in annoyance. "If you have something to say, just say so. Why are you stopping me? Which palace are you from?"

The young palace maid seemed quite bold, kneeling sideways at Ye Xiao's feet, exposing her fair neck, her voice sweet and seductive.

"This servant is Yue'er, who serves Consort Chu. I beg Your Highness for mercy!"

"As long as you accept me, you can do whatever you want with me."

"What use would I have for you? I'm in the Eastern Depot now, not serving in the palace. We only take in people who know martial arts."

Ye Xiao rolled his eyes at her speechlessly, "You've come to the wrong place if you're looking for a transfer. Xiao Rang is in charge of the palace now."

That month, Yue'er never expected this young master to be such a blockhead. She tilted her head slightly and gave him a flirtatious wink.

"This servant does not want to be transferred. Even if I am transferred, I only want to be transferred to the side of the young master."

Just as Ye Xiao was about to say that he had no shortage of maids around him, he heard a chuckle. He turned around and saw Jiang Xinyu leaning against Xiao Yuan, laughing so hard she was shaking.

The palace maid turned pale the moment she saw Xiao Yuan.

This time he'll kneel properly, hunching his neck like a little quail.

Jiang Xinyu waved her hand with a mischievous smile, "It's okay, it's okay, you guys continue, I'm just watching the show."

But that's too subtle; I doubt even my silly son understood it.

Sometimes you have to make your confession right away, watch me.

As she spoke, Jiang Xinyu, in a thuggish manner, grabbed Xiao Yuan's chin.

"Hey buddy, interested in being buried with me? I'd like to be buried in your family's ancestral grave, is that okay?"

Not only was the little palace maid dumbfounded, but even Ye Xiao looked like he had seen a ghost.

Xiao Yuan affectionately ruffled her hair and waved his hand, telling the little palace maid to get lost.

The little girl ran faster than a rabbit, as if she had been granted a pardon.

Not only did she give up on the idea herself, she also quickly gave her girlfriends a heads-up.

The Grand Eunuch is truly frightening. He only thought about becoming the Crown Prince's wife and rising to prominence, forgetting that opportunity and danger go hand in hand.

The thought of having such a father-in-law made her legs weak.

That's right, now that you mention it, everyone remembers it too.

They only thought of Ye Xiao because they heard that the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo was living a good life, forgetting that she would have parents-in-law if she married Ye Xiao.

Not to mention Supervisor Xiao, he used to be in charge of the Cautious Conduct Division for a period of time, and all the palace maids and eunuchs turned pale at the mention of his name.

Even that lady was no pushover; she not only won over Governor Xiao's favor but also managed to win over the young emperor.

Being a daughter-in-law to two people like that must be incredibly stressful.

If they do something wrong, other families might just follow the rules, but Chief Supervisor Xiao's family might send them to the Censorate.

Ye Xiao was a little embarrassed when his parents caught someone confessing their feelings to him. He chuckled awkwardly, earning a glare from his father.

"Why are you running off to the palace instead of doing your job properly?"

Ye Xiao understood perfectly well what he was hearing; his father was annoyed that he was bothering the couple during their lovey-dovey time.

It seems I won't be able to stay in the palace anymore.

As expected, Ye Xiao only vaguely said that he had come to pay his respects before Xiao Yuan chased him away.

He walked back dejectedly, but then suddenly he laughed again.

He remembered that a few years ago when he was still in the palace, he once saw a kitten chasing a big cat. The big cat kept hissing at the kitten and acted very fiercely.

He thought the kitten was being bullied and wanted to help, but the young eunuch who was with him said that the big cat was the kitten's mother.

The kitten has grown up and needs to be separated from its mother. It can't stick to the mother cat anymore. If it keeps chasing after her, it will get beaten up.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered this incident, and I felt that the shadows of his father and that big cat overlapped.

Is he... separated from his original family?

Xiao Yuan had a rare free time today to accompany his wife for a stroll, and that's when they ran into this kid.

There was no need for the father and son to be polite; since they didn't want him to waste their time, they simply kicked him out.

Jiang Xinyu chuckled and pinched him, saying he was being too harsh on his son.

This is your only son, after all. Be careful he doesn't pull the plug when he gets old.

Xiao Yuan had heard his wife use strange and unusual words more than once, but he didn't delve into it. Instead, he talked about how the boy had been surrounded and chased outside the palace.

I didn't expect the palace maids to be so unruly. It seems we need to add a few more palace rules to discipline them.

Jiang Xinyu shook her head in disagreement, "There's no need to make such a big deal out of it. It's just about making a future for myself."

In the past, with the emperor around, everyone naturally focused on the positions of the concubines, but now the emperor is still young.

These women who are getting older have to think about finding a way out for themselves.

Since palace maids couldn't leave, powerful and handsome eunuchs became the preferred choice.

"My husband, has no one tried to please you?"

Xiao Yuan's nerve, which was marked by danger, immediately tensed up.

"Madam, please don't joke. Even when I was in the palace, I didn't have that."

You can ask around if you don't believe me.

I worked in the Shenxing Division for two years and then went to the Eastern Depot. The palace maids in the palace wished they could avoid me.

If anyone gossips about you, don't believe them. I'm yours in life and in death; even a hundred years from now, I'll share a coffin with you.

Jiang Xinyu smiled charmingly, "Why are you being so sweet all of a sudden? Did you steal my osmanthus candy?"

"You'll know once you try it, Madam."

Since Xiao Duzhu finally figured it out, his flirting skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

Sweet words that I could never say before now come out of my mouth effortlessly, successfully defusing another minor crisis.

He only had a moment to sigh after calling Shui Jiangxinyu three times that night until she was sound asleep.

It was thanks to Xu Qinglan's past jealousy that he managed to keep a tight rein on his relationship, preventing even a single romantic interest from getting in.

That girl is all bark and no bite; with her saying so, who would dare to get close to her?

From the past to the present, apart from Xu Qinglan, he has never had a single undesirable romantic encounter.

To be honest, no matter how much the lady inquired about him throughout the palace, he never lied.
