Chapter 198 Father and daughter meet
After drinking a jar of wine, the tension between Qin Yu and Prince Zhennan seemed to have dissipated a lot with the alcohol.
The aroma of wine filled the air, and the two of them gradually started talking.
"You've changed quite a bit." The Prince of Zhennan drank the wine bowl in his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth heroically, and couldn't help shouting: "It's so refreshing!"
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Yu with a hint of teasing, "You used to be very quiet, like a mute person, but now you talk a lot, almost like a chatterbox."
Qin Yu took a sip of wine, his expression indifferent, but a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "Wan Wan doesn't like me to be too quiet."
Prince Zhennan: “…”
He was stunned for a moment, and then felt a soreness in the roots of his teeth, as if he had been forced to eat a mouthful of dog food.
He couldn't help but rub his cheeks, his tone filled with dissatisfaction and warning: "Don't call me your daughter so intimately. You've already divorced. Remember your identity."
Qin Yu raised his eyes and looked at the Prince of Zhennan, his eyes firm and unyielding: "She will always be my only wife."
Prince Zhennan snorted coldly, his face filled with the rage of "don't mess with my daughter." "Then we're divorced. Divorced is divorced, don't talk to me about this useless stuff."
Qin Yu's expression remained unchanged, and her tone remained calm: "We can still get married again after the divorce."
Prince Zhennan sneered immediately, his eyes filled with sarcasm: "Dream on! My daughter is beautiful alone, she doesn't need a man to interfere."
Qin Yu just smiled faintly when he heard this and did not argue anymore.
He seemed to be sure of victory, but in fact he had no confidence at all. He looked at Prince Zhennan thoughtfully, and seeing how much Wan Wan cared about him, maybe he could bribe him.
After three rounds of drinks, Prince Zhennan finally got down to business.
"How's the border like recently? When I went to the palace today, that person didn't look very happy!"
Qin Yu said truthfully, "I was betrayed several times, captured once, and assaulted three times."
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, the Prince of Zhennan had already laughed out loud, "You can still be captured?"
"Wan Wan went to save me."
The laughter of the Prince of Zhennan stopped abruptly, and the expression on his face instantly changed from playfulness to anger.
He slammed the table so hard that the wine bowl jumped up and spilled the wine all over the table.
His eyes were as sharp as a knife, piercing Qin Yu directly, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable anger: "Say it again? My daughter went to the border to save you? You actually let her go to such a dangerous place?!"
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have made her worry."
"Of course it's your fault. As a man, if you can't even protect your wife, what's the use of you?" After saying that, he couldn't help but slam his fist down on the table, then looked up at Qin Yu cautiously, "Now that the spies have been cleared out, what do you think about what you said last time?"
"I've made up my mind. Since he won't let us live, we should think about ourselves."
"Okay, I feel relieved with your words. Let's work hard. How can we not find a way to survive?"
The two of them drank another pot of wine in high spirits. Qin Yu's eyes were a little blurry. "Father-in-law, I will give you all my wealth. I will take care of the matter between Wan Wan and me."
The Prince of Zhennan was already drunk and said in a thick voice, "Leave it to me, brother."
A gleam of light flashed in Qin Yu's eyes, and just hearing his words was enough.
At the same time, in the County Lord's Mansion of Nanping Prefecture.
"Miss, news has come from Jingzhao that Prince Zhennan has entered the palace to meet the emperor." Xiao Tao hurried into the study and reported in a low voice, with a hint of urgency in her tone.
Yan Wanwan was sitting at the desk with a pen in her hand. Upon hearing the words, the tip of the pen paused slightly, and then she put down the final stroke on the paper.
She raised her head, her tone calm but revealing a hint of deep meaning: "It's a good thing that father can return safely. Xiaotao, go load the things I prepared into the car and send them all to the Zhennan Palace."
Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yan Wanwan in confusion: "Miss, aren't you going to see the Prince of Zhennan? Haven't you always been concerned about his whereabouts? Why is it that now that he is back, you are..."
Before she finished speaking, Yan Wanwan chuckled, the corners of her lips slightly raised, with a meaningful look in her eyes: "No need, he will come."
Xiao Tao became even more confused after hearing this, but seeing Yan Wanwan's determined expression, she stopped asking questions and turned around to arrange the loading.
The next day, the carriage from the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion indeed stopped in front of the County Lady's Mansion.
Xiao Tao stood at the door, looking at the carriage that had not yet set off, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, secretly sighing in her heart: It turns out that the young lady knows the Prince of Zhennan better. He has already arrived before the gift has even left the house.
Prince Yan Feibai of Zhennan strode into the palace with a look of anxiety on his face. As soon as he entered, he asked loudly, "Where is my daughter?"
"father!"
When Yan Wanwan heard the voice, she immediately came out of the house.
She imitated the original owner and dove into the arms of the Prince of Zhennan, her tone filled with a bit of coquettishness and concern: "You are finally back! Mother, brother, and sister have been worried about you all this time. They think about you every day! They are worried to death."
When Yan Feibai was pounced on by her, the anxiety in his heart instantly turned into full of pity.
He patted Yan Wanwan's back gently, his tone filled with reproach and heartache: "Child, even if you are worried about your father, you can't come to Jingzhao by yourself! What if you encounter something on the way?"
Yan Wanwan raised her head from his arms, blinked slyly, and said playfully, "Dad, don't worry, I have someone to take care of me! At that time, someone insisted on coming to recognize me as a relative, and I agreed when I thought about someone being my coachman. This way, I can come to you privately without being discovered."
Upon hearing this, Yan Feibai immediately understood that she was talking about the former Lu family, and he felt both distressed and guilty. Thinking of the things he had investigated, he could hardly control his anger and said through gritted teeth, "Only those bastards who bullied you are gone, otherwise I would have killed them!"
Seeing this, Yan Wanwan quickly pulled him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and said in a relaxed tone, "Dad, drink some tea to calm down. Those little idiots and generals are not enough for your daughter to fill her teeth with! Please don't be angry about them."
Yan Feibai took the teacup and looked at his smart and clever daughter. The anger in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a touch of pride and relief.
He smiled and shook his head, his tone full of doting: "Yes, yes, my daughter is so smart! Those blind people are really not worth your trouble."
Yan Wanwan looked at her father with a smile, but secretly felt relieved in her heart.
She knew that although the Prince of Zhennan appeared stern, he truly loved her. As long as she acted coquettishly, his anger would vanish. It was only because the original owner was so ignorant that she abandoned such a good adoptive father for those ungrateful people.
Suddenly Yan Feibai changed the subject, "That's not right! Girl, how do you know your father's identity?"
In order to protect the personal safety of their children, Yan Feibai and his wife never revealed their true identities, otherwise Yan Xiaorui would still be kept in the dark.
Yan Wanwan chuckled, "I just knew it! Dad, it was you and Mom who didn't hide it well."
She couldn't say that she had plant powers and that after receiving the original owner's memories and investigating, she would know the identity of her adoptive father's family.
Yan Feibai couldn't help laughing. Among so many children, she was the only one who could see it. Wan Wan was indeed the smartest one.
