LOVE OR DESTINY

"I need to escape now. As long as I run, he can execute whoever he wants."

On the wall of the backyard, Xiao Tan noticed there was a staircase. He just used it to climb the wall.

At the top of the wall, Xiao Tan paid a farewell to Jing Xin, but instead saw Lian Cheng was there.

"Where are you going, my wife? You go up there to see the sights or are you afraid you're gonna sell you to a brothel?"

Xiao Tan could only remain silent while holding back his irritation. Having no answer, Lian Cheng guessed that Xiao Tan intended to run away because he wanted to see someone. He wants to see Minister Qu (Her Father Tan Er) or the First Prince?

"I miss home. So I went up here to take a look. Can't it?"

"I hope you can stop your bad habit of climbing walls, even if you miss your family. I'll send you home tomorrow anyway. Whatever you want to say to Minister Qu, you can say at the time."

Xiao Tan was shocked to hear that, obviously not happy to have to go back to that house again. Lian Cheng was lazy to serve him again and immediately left. Xiao Tan was confused, he had to find a way to escape before he returned home.

Jing Xin tried to persuade her not to leave. Xiao Tan is looking for that antique bed, right? The residence is very spacious and there are many rooms that they have not yet explored. If the bed was in this residence and Xiao Tan left, then he would have missed that bed.

Right too, anyway. But the thought of going home and looking back at the Qu family, made him feel fed up. Is there no way he can't go home?

Can't, because visiting parents after marriage is a tradition. If he did not return then the Qu residence and the 8th Prince's residence would lose their dignity.

Convincing success. Xiao Tan finally came down. He decided it was better to be a coward and avoid trouble than to be beaten just for the sake of maintaining dignity.

Delighted, Jing Xin helped hold onto her stairs. But Xiao Tan misplaced his foot and eventually fell on Jing Xing.

The next day, Yu Hao reported that he had sent someone to tell the Queen Mother.

Yu Hao was sure that the Queen Mother would definitely be very happy. But, he noticed Lian Cheng who seemed displeased.

As a granddaughter raised by her Grandfather, Lian Cheng realized that her Grandfather seemed to be less fond of the Queen Mother. Lian Cheng himself was less fond of the Queen Mother's personality.

But the Queen Mother always loved him. So he can't disappoint her. And right now, the only person who could fight the Emperor Father for her was only the Queen Mother.

Tan Er came shortly afterwards by continuously lowering his head. When Lian Cheng asked if he would not look at her, Tan Er reasoned that he was afraid of being disrespectful.

"You change often, Princess. On the night of our bride, you asked me to hurry up and make a lot of games to cheer me up. But what's wrong with you today?"

Tan Er frowned uneasily realizing it wasn't her who did all that. Unable to explain the truth, Tan Er simply asked Lian Cheng to forgive all of her shameful behavior.
