THE QUEEN'S TRUE LOVE

CHAPTER 14

Peng Peng was satisfied to hear that. But then he had to face off against a mistress. Peng was clumsy, but then he heard Lu Li addressing her as 'mistress'.

Peng Peng ventured to say hello. "I...mom?"

His guess was right and I invited them all in. Qi Sheng secretly glanced at Ying Yue on his way in.

They met in the back of the night. Ying Yue admitted to coming here because she missed Qi Sheng. Not meeting for a moment feels like a century.

But Qi Sheng reminded him to be careful as long as they were here the next 2 days. Don't meet unless there's urgent business.

Ying Yue was disappointed and immediately complained about Qi Sheng's attitude which was now more attentive to Peng Peng. He does not like and does not accept.

"Since the first time we met, you should have known that Zhang Peng Peng was an obstacle we could never get past."

Ying Yue again discussed about her promise Qi Sheng and asked Qi Sheng to keep his promise as soon as possible. But Qi Sheng was unwilling to do so rashly and reminded Ying Yue to be patient. Do not take any despicable action.

The next day, her mother Peng Peng had Ying Yue kneel before the ancestral altar while confronting her.

Her mother Peng Peng seemed to know what Ying Yue was doing to tease her daughter-in-law when she was raised by the Zhang family after her parents passed away.

"I know that I owe Bibi and the entire Zhang clan a mountain."

Peng Peng arrived shortly afterwards. Seeing a helpless woman like Ying Yue being treated like this, Peng Peng could not stay silent, he was a gentleman. That was why he tried to persuade Mother not to punish Ying Yue this heavy.

Loh, it was precisely this punishment that was light given the deeds of Ying Yue who pushed Peng Peng into the pool that time. Either Ying Yue was intentional or not, but she should have been respectful and always protected Peng Peng.

Peng Peng assured me that he was not seriously injured at the time. He doesn't care much anyway. "Mother, don't treat brother Jiang like this again, huh?"

Qi Sheng came shortly afterwards and immediately defended Ying Yue by reminding Mother that Ying Yue was Prince Zhao's Wife, so it was inappropriate for Mother to punish him.

But Mother casually threw back the warning to Qi Sheng. Since Ying Yue was Prince Zhao's Wife, it was inappropriate for Qi Sheng to interfere in the matter.

Qi Sheng claimed that he had not interfered, let alone that he had grown up with Ying Yue and had already considered Ying Yue as his own sister.

"Children who grow up together and treat each other as brothers are good. Men and women should keep their distance. Moreover, you two are married. I'm worried that the closeness of this fraternal relationship could lead to rumors about you."

Unable to refute any longer, Sheng immediately threw a meaningful gaze at Peng Peng. Well, Peng Peng was willing to help her and tried to persuade Mother to celebrate her arrival only. After all, their ancestors must be tired by now.

For Peng Peng's sake, I'm finally willing to give up. Now that it was lunch time, Mother told everyone to leave, except for Qi Sheng whom Mother had taken to another place to chat.
