Peaceful Farm Life Chapter 2655 - 2656: Return to Tianyun (222)

Gong Juechen shrugged, wearing a cheeky grin, as if it didn’t matter: "It depends. As long as your aunt doesn’t come to me, I don’t have to help him. But if your aunt comes to me asking for help, then I have no choice. You know, I only have this one sister, your aunt, and I spoil her a lot."

An Yiqing was both angry and speechless, almost wanting to roll his eyes at his father-in-law, Gong Juechen. But he also knew that what Gong Juechen said was true.

As for Gong Juese, his sister, it’s been well known all along that Gong Juechen spoils her immensely.

Ye Zhi noticed Su Yuxin wasn’t as heartbroken as she expected, which made her feel a bit relieved. Then, hearing Gong Juechen’s words, she shot a sidelong glance at him: "Can you be more rational? It’s obvious that Sizhi is at fault here!"

Gong Juechen kept grinning cheekily: "I only know that Se Se is my biological sister." And he promised his imperial consort mother that he would take care of this sister.

Ye Zhi: "..." This brother, apart from her husband, really is unparalleled.

Knowing talking sense into her husband was useless, as she was well aware of how indulgent he was towards his sister, Ye Zhi didn’t say anything more to Gong Juechen and instead walked over to comfort Su Yuxin.

"Yuixin, don’t feel bad. This behavior of Sizhi’s is obviously not worthy of your affection. It’s not worth it to be upset."

Su Yuxin cautiously asked, "Grandma Ye, can I say that I’m not sad at all?"

Ye Zhi paused for a moment before saying, "You are very strong."

Su Yuxin: "..."

Gong Juechen cheekily leaned over, "Great-granddaughter Yuixin, you truly are very strong. Any other girl would’ve burst into tears if abandoned."

Su Changyi and Su Yi Jing’s faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Ye Zhi quickly covered Gong Juechen’s mouth, squeezing out words through gritted teeth: "No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak!"

An Jing and the others were also very displeased. Even if they thought it was Meng Sizhi who abandoned their Yuixin, none of them would have said it so bluntly. But now, Gong Juechen had brazenly said it, truly!

Su Yuxin found it amusing. How is this considered abandonment? She wasn’t with Meng Sizhi in a romantic way—they were just often together. Now that Meng Sizhi is marrying someone else, it really doesn’t count as abandonment. She genuinely wasn’t upset at all.

But no one believed her.

Even up until Meng Sizhi was brought in, Su Yuxin spent her time being consoled by everyone.

To be precise, Meng Sizhi wasn’t brought in but walked in surrounded by the Royal Palace guards. As for why he walked and wasn’t dragged, it was because Gong Juese, his extremely protective mother, was right by his side.

Despite Gong Juese being over sixty, her combat skills were still formidable. And since Su Changyi hadn’t ordered the guards to engage with Gong Juese, naturally they dared not confront her.

As soon as Meng Lanqing saw Meng Sizhi, he sternly shouted: "Ungrateful son, hurry up and kowtow to apologize to the Princess Chang!"

Meng Sizhi didn’t kowtow to apologize but knelt down and made obeisance to Su Changyi and An Jing: "Greetings to the King and Queen. Long live the King, the King and Queen a thousand years."

Meng Sizhi had grown up under the watch of Su Changyi and An Jing, and he had never performed such a grand gesture of respect to them, nor had he ever referred to An Jing and Su Changyi as the King and Queen, always calling them Uncle Yi and Aunt Jing. Doing so today showed a great deal of distance from An Jing and Su Changyi.
