Chapter 267: Buy Two, Get One Free

"Well, Father, Mother, I suddenly remembered there's something at Prince Ye's residence that needs my attention, so I'll be going now. I'll come visit you at Duke Rong's mansion another day!"

Ji Yuntang left, and Madam Cai pinched Xie Jinrong's waist.

"Look at you, why did you have to bring up having a grandson? You scared our daughter away. I just accepted Tang'er as my daughter, and I haven't even had a proper chat with her yet!"

Xie Jinrong winced in pain but still smiled. "Madam, you're the same—you dream of holding a grandson too."

"A girl is shy and doesn't like hearing such things. To be honest, it's our son's fault for being a disappointment, not bringing home a wife for us, keeping me from holding a grandson."

Having said that, he suddenly thought of something and said to Madam Cai in a flattering tone, "Now that I've got this little brat by the ear, how about we give him a beating to let off some steam?"

Xie Liuzheng: "..."

Xie Liuzheng: "!!!"

Planning to give him a beating right in front of him—he just wanted to ask, was he really their biological son?

As he thought, he voiced it out loud.

"Father, are you really my biological father?"

"Or am I just someone you picked out of a dumpster?"

As Xie Liuzheng finished asking, he felt a sharp pain in his rear—Xie Jinrong had kicked him right in the butt.

"You can question your intelligence, but you can't question that I'm your father."

"With your ability to cause big trouble every ten days and small trouble every three days, if you weren't my biological son, I would have beaten you to death long ago, saving me the hassle of cleaning up your mess."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Xie Liuzheng saw he couldn't argue his way out of it with Xie Jinrong and tried to break free and run away. But the second he took a step, Xie Jinrong noticed, slammed him to the ground, and together with his wife, they gave him a parental double-team.

Luo Sinian watched from the side, his heart was pounding.

Good thing he was a good-for-nothing; no one was forcing him to marry and have children. Otherwise, if he had to take beatings like Xie Liuzheng did, he'd probably lose his mind too.

Ji Yuntang returned to Prince Ye's residence. As she stood outside the West Garden, she felt a bit nervous.

If Luo Junhe knew that she had gained a father-in-law, mother-in-law, and a brother-in-law just by going out, how would he react?

Ji Yuntang pulled herself together, took a deep breath, and carrying the pastries she had bought on the street, she walked in.

"Hey, A He, I'm back."

At that moment, Luo Junhe was in his room carving a surprise gift for her. When he had nothing to do, he wanted to make her a gift with his own hands.

When he heard Ji Yuntang's voice outside, Luo Junhe quickly shoved the carving knife and piece of wood under the bed.

He wanted to surprise Ji Yuntang and didn't want her to know yet.

When Ji Yuntang entered, she saw Luo Junhe sitting there all serious in his wheelchair, reading a copy of the Zizhi Tongjian.

Outside, the sunlight poured through the window, lighting up his chiseled side profile, making his already stunning face even more striking.

At first glance, he was breathtaking.

However, Ji Yuntang felt that something was a bit off with Luo Junhe today?

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly felt strange.

After thinking for a moment, she arched an eyebrow and said, "A He, your book is upside down!"

Startled, Luo Junhe's first instinct was to flip the book around, without even checking if it really was upside down.

Until Ji Yuntang's tinkling laugh rang out, he realized she had played a joke on him.

The book in his hand wasn't upside down at all.

Luo Junhe turned to look at Ji Yuntang, his tone helpless and doting. "A Tang, you're being mischievous again!"

Ji Yuntang touched his face and giggled. "It's because you were reading so seriously that I wanted to tease you and lighten the mood."

Hearing this, Luo Junhe let out a quiet sigh of relief.

He thought Ji Yuntang had discovered he was carving a gift for her.

Now it seemed she hadn't.

Luo Junhe put down the book, his expression grew soft as he looked at the woman before him, smiling gently.

"How was the Full Moon party at Assistant Minister Xu's house today? Did you cause any trouble?"

Ji Yuntang: "..."

The corner of her mouth twitched a little. Luo Junhe was really direct with that question!

How was she supposed to answer?

Ji Yuntang stared straight into his eyes, blinked, and made a cute expression.

"Do I look like a troublemaker? I'm cute and well-behaved!"

"Yes, you do," he said firmly, a single word sealing the verdict.

Ji Yuntang: "..."

Her hands balled into fists!

But she couldn't bring herself to hit him—what was she supposed to do?

So sad X﹏X

A man this handsome should be illegal—it makes women's hearts go soft!

Ji Yuntang took a deep breath, holding back the urge to touch Luo Junhe's face. She plopped down on a nearby chair, sitting with one leg crossed over the other in a smug way.

"Since you asked, I'll tell you, since you asked."

"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Luo Junhe: "..."

His stomach dropped. He had a feeling his little princess was about to tell him she'd stirred up a huge mess outside.

Luo Junhe pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Then, the bad news."

"The bad news is that I went to Xu Mansion today and unexpectedly found that the Hou Mansion’s people were also there. Then, after I did some maneuvering, I made Madam Ji faint three times, I cursed out the entire Yongning Hou family in public, and finally beat Ji Huaiche so badly he coughed up blood. They seem to hate me quite a bit, and might seek revenge in the future."

Luo Junhe: "..."

Luo Junhe: "!!!"

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still blown away by Ji Yuntang’s words.

Beating someone in public and scolding their entire family—could she be any bolder?

As shocked as Luo Junhe was, what came out of his mouth turned into...

"As expected of my princess—clever, not letting anyone push you around."

Ji Yuntang: "???"

Now it was her turn to be shocked.

Was Luo Junhe actually praising her for a job well done?

Luo Junhe did not miss the hesitation on Ji Yuntang’s face.

He chuckled lightly, grabbed Ji Yuntang’s wrist, and gently pulled her toward him, causing her to end up sitting in his lap.

He wrapped his arm around her waist, his warm breath ghosting over her ear, his voice low and husky.

"My lady, what about the good news?"

Ji Yuntang had goosebumps all over.

The searing heat of his body pressed against her back, and a faint, teasing tingle on her neck shot through her like an electric current, a charged sense of intimacy hanging in the air.

Ji Yuntang shifted uncomfortably, but Luo Junhe smacked her bottom.

"Sit still—quit fidgeting!"

Ji Yuntang: "!!!"

Her face instantly turned beet red!

Before she could speak, she felt Luo Junhe’s cool lips brush her ear, giving it a light peck, his voice dripping with deadly seduction.

"My lady, your husband wants to hear the good news."

Ji Yuntang’s mind went completely blank.

Without thinking, she blurted out,

"The good news is that I found you a new set of in-laws: buy two, get one free, and they even throw in a twenty-year-old brother. Happy now?"

Luo Junhe: "..."

He only had to run it through his head once to already guess the answer.

"You mean Duke Rong, Lord Xie, along with his wife and their heir, don’t you?"
