“It’s you?”

The moment the little bun saw Feng Zixiu, his face fell.

Feng Zixiu raised his head arrogantly and asked coldly, “Why didn’t you bow to me when you saw me?”

The little bun straightened his back and asked in return, “Why should I bow to you? You’re not the heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence.”

In the past, the little bun did not bother to argue with Feng Zixiu. However, now that his father had acknowledged him, he could not tolerate Feng Zixiu’s arrogance anymore.

“You!” Feng Zixiu was furious.

At this moment, Consort Dowager Ning walked in with more than ten maidservants and guards. As soon as she saw the little bun, she said in disgust, “It’s you again, you uncultured bast*rd! How dare you talk nonsense in front of the heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence?”

Because the little bun’s face was stained black, Consort Dowager Ning failed to see the resemblance between him and Feng Yili. She was very ruthless and directly called the little bun a bast*rd.

The little bun was very calm when facing Feng Zixiu, but when he heard Consort Dowager Ning’s words, his eyes reddened immediately. He could not help but feel disappointed that his father’s mother was such a person. Even if he was not Feng Yili’s son and just a child from an ordinary family, he did not think it was right for Consort Dowager Ning to humiliate him like that.

At this moment, Qian Jiao hurried out from the kitchen, still holding a ladle in her hand. She said murderously, “Consort Dowager Ning, our little master is not a bast*rd.”

‘This old witch is still as annoying as before…’

“Little Master, don’t listen to her. You’re the darling of His Royal Highness and Her Roval Highness.” Qian Jiao said comfortingly.

Consort Dowager Ning sneered when she heard these words. She said sharply, “I know you. You’re Yu Yunxi’s maidservant. How impressive. You didn’t even kneel when you saw me, and you even dare to act arrogantly? Is this what Yu Yunxi and the King of Xinan’s Residence taught you?”

Consort Dowager Ning’s voice grew sharper and sharper as she said, “Her Royal

Highness? Are you referring to Yu Yunxi? She still wants to enter the Prince

Regent’s Residence? With her background, is she worthy? Don’t think that she can take credit just because the King of Xinan’s Residence captured the Crown Prince of Nanyue. An ugly duckling will always be an ugly duckling; it’s impossible for it to transform into a swan.”

Consort Dowager Ning continued to say contemptuously, “I wouldn’t have bothered with her if she had stayed in Xinan obediently and be a County Princess. However, since she wants to enter the Prince Regent’s Residence, don’t blame me for being ruthless with my words. As long as I’m alive, it’s impossible for her to enter the residence!”

As soon as Consort Dowager Ning finished speaking, someone said from behind, “So it’s possible as long as Consort Dowager Ning is dead?”

Yu Yunxi walked in and hurried to the little bun’s side. She examined him from head to toe as she asked worriedly, “Junjin, are you alright?”

“Mother, I’m fine.”

The little bun’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw his mother.

“Yu Yunxi, did you just curse me?!”

Consort Dowager Ning looked at Yu Yunxi in shock. She was a dignified

Consort Dowager. How could, Yu Yunxi, a mere County Princess, curse her?

Feng Zixiu seized the opportunity and used Consort Dowager Ning’s anger to obtain what he wanted. He said loudly, “You’ve gone too far! Someone, drag her over here and make her apologize to Grandmother!”

“I want to see who dares to do that?” someone said coldly at this moment.

Consort Dowager Ning’s heart tightened slightly when she heard the voice. However, when she turned around to look at Feng Yili, her expression was very calm. Initially, she planned to take advantage of Feng Yili’s absence to deal with the little bun and force Yu Yunxi to return to Xinan. She did not expect Feng Yili to return so quickly.

Nonetheless, Consort Dowager Ning was not overly worried. She did not believe Feng Yili would take the side of outsiders. After all, she was his mother, and Feng Zixiu was his son. She did not believe he would make things difficult for her and Feng Zixiu for the sake of two outsiders. With this in mind, she calmed down a lot.

Consort Dowager cleared her throat and said angrily, “Yili, you came back at the right time. This little bast*rd was disrespectful to Zixiu and me. Yu Yunxi is even worse! She actually cursed me! According to the rules of Tianxia, one would be beheaded for disrespecting members of the imperial family!”

“Is that so? But, Mother, you said those words yourself. Yunxi was just repeating what you said,” Feng Yili said calmly, clearly protecting Yu Yunxi.

“Yili, how dare you speak to me like this?”

Consort Dowager Ning clutched her chest and stumbled back a few steps. If it were not for her maidservant’s support, she would have fallen.

At this time, Consort Dowager Ning began to panic. In the past, Feng Yili was only a little cold to her, but he had never spoken to her in such a manner before. She shook her head and questioned, “Yili, did she feed you some potion and bewitch you? Did she say something about me to cause you to treat me like that?”

“Mother, I’ve already asked Imperial Brother to announce Yunxi’s return to the Prince Regent’s Residence as the Princess Regent. From now on, she’ll be living with me,” Feng Yili said expressionlessly.

“You want her to return? Back then, I only agreed to the marriage because of your compatible birth dates! But now, she’s not worthy of you!” Consort Dowager Ning said anxiously. She truly felt that Yu Yunxi, who had a humble background, was not worthy of her son at all. Moreover, with Yu Yunxi’s unrestrained and unruly personality, she disliked Yu Yunxi even more. Sooner or later, she would only be angered to death by Yu Yunxi.

In the end, Consort Dowager Ning decided to issue an ultimatum to force Feng Yili. She said aggressively, “If she stays in the residence, then I won’t stay in the residence!”

She wanted to force Feng Yili to choose between her and Yu Yunxi today.

Yu Yunxi held the little bun’s hand tightly and looked at Feng Yili solemnly. She also wanted to know what Feng Yili would do. After all, Consort Dowager Ning was his mother.

While everyone waited nervously for Feng Yili’s answer, he finally said slowly and firmly, “Mother, I don’t plan to let Yunxi and Junjin return to the house…

‘Hmph! As expected, Yili chose me! I’m his mother, after all,’ Consort Dowager Ning thought to herself smugly.

However, Consort Dowager Ning’s joy did not last long. She was just about to gloat and mock Yu Yunxi when Feng Yili spoke again.

Feng Yili said firmly, “I know you don’t like her and will make things difficult for her. Why would I let her stay with you under the same roof? She was treated like a treasure in the King of Xinan’s Residence. Why should I let her suffer your anger?”

Feng Yili’s voice turned cold at the end of his words.

“Yili, you, you..

Consort Dowager Ning looked at Feng Yili in shock.

Yu Yunxi and the little bun also looked at Feng Yili, shocked by how determined he was to protect them..
