Mu Ye smiled. "I'm not from this village. I'm an archaeologist who came here to do research."

So he was an educated person. No wonder she had thought this man had an extraordinary bearing at the first glance, different from the men in the village.

However, how did this person know her?

Just as Lan Xiaoling was about to ask, the other party took the initiative to confess, "I often walk around the village, and many times I can see you teaching on the platform."

Then he also heard from the villagers that Lan Xiaoling was raising two children, so he had been paying attention to her silently for a long time.

Mu Ye didn't say these things. After all, he could tell that Lan Xiaoling was different from other women. Being too straightforward would scare her.

Lan Xiaoling let out another "oh" and said, "But it's really too wasteful for you to send me things every day!"

She felt a little uneasy and took a sip of the water on the table.

After all, the other party's eyes were a bit too burning, making her uncomfortable.

Mu Ye said, "I live on the mountain. I raise chickens and ducks and grow vegetables myself. I can't finish them all, so I brought them to you."

In fact, that wasn't true. He had bought these things from the villagers with his own money, just wanting Lan Xiaoling to have a better life.

Who would have thought that this woman would never accept them. Just now, in order to force him to show up, she even left a note asking him to come to her house.

Mu Ye had been hiding in the corner and peeking at that time. As soon as Lan Xiaoling left, he came out to check the situation. When he saw the note, he thought the time was almost right.

After all, he had liked this woman for so long. He couldn't always be secretive about being good to her. It was time to get to know her gradually.

Lan Xiaoling glanced at the things Mu Ye was holding and said, "Stay and have dinner with us. Take a seat for a while."

He had indeed kept his promise, so naturally she had to do the same.

Now that Mu Ye had appeared, Lan Xiaoling planned to entertain him with these ingredients.

Mu Ye stood up and wanted to help her, but then he felt it would be too abrupt for the first meeting, so he sat down again.

Just like that, he quietly looked at the kitchen and Lan Xiaoling's back. His restless heart became even more determined to pursue this woman no matter what!

...

Freya was a bit tired. She told Madeline to take care of the child for her and then ended the video call.

After she put down her phone, Bradley came up to her and said, "It's still early. How about going for a walk?"

Freya was indeed a bit upset and agreed with a hum.

But as soon as she stepped out of the room, she heard a lot of noise coming from the royal palace.

"What's going on?"

Freya looked at the man.

Bradley shook his head. "I'm not sure. Let's go and take a look first!"

"Okay."

Ye Lu An had just ascended the throne, and there was noise in the royal palace. Clearly, something big had happened.

After the two of them walked for a while, they saw a group of people running towards the princess's residence.

Freya was curious, so she grabbed a few maids and asked about the situation.

The result was unexpected. The princess and Ye Lu An were actually entangled with each other.

Upon hearing this news, Freya was still shocked.

Didn't Ye Lu An reject the princess? Why, on the day of his succession, was he involved with the princess?

While she couldn't figure it out, Bradley's voice came to her ears, "Ye Lu An said in the evening that the princess invited him to have dinner together and said she decided to let go. If I'm not mistaken, it was a trap set by the princess!"

Unexpectedly, this woman had done such a thing that violated moral principles in order to secure her happiness in the second half of her life.

It was really contemptible!

The key point was that Ye Lu Qi wasn't dead yet, and now he had been cuckolded. Didn't this put Ye Lu An in a situation of being unkind and unjust?

Bradley was faintly worried about Ye Lu An's future.

On the one hand, he had to face his eldest brother, and on the other hand, he had to bear the pressure of public opinion!

And what should be done with the princess?

Freya also felt worried for Ye Lu An in her heart.

So it was the princess!

This woman was more scheming than she had imagined.

Since she didn't care about the face of the Ye Lu royal family and did such a dirty thing that would be gossiped about.

It was just pitiful for Ye Lu An. I'm afraid he won't be able to get rid of the princess, this annoying person, in the future!

"Bradley, what should we do next?"

Freya frowned and asked. After all, Ye Lu An was Bradley's friend, and she believed that Bradley had more ideas.

"Let's go and see the situation first!"

After all, it was just the words of a few people. We couldn't draw a conclusion until we saw the truth.

Bradley also believed that Ye Lu An could handle this matter well. After all, he was a person who had gone through many ups and downs and had endured so many difficult things to get to where he was today.

Freya nodded and rushed to the scene with Bradley as soon as possible.

Before, when Bradley said that this was a trap set by the princess, Freya was extremely surprised. But after seeing the scene in front of her, she suddenly understood the whole process!

The so-called farewell dinner the princess had mentioned was actually a feast with a hidden agenda. She had drugged the wine and forced Ye Lu An to have a relationship with her.

After that, she deliberately made a commotion to attract the attention of everyone in the royal palace. In this way, under the public scrutiny, Ye Lu An couldn't escape the responsibility.

Although this was a common trick used by scheming women, the princess's move was really clever.

After all, the person in front of her was her brother-in-law!

Ye Lu An sat on the sofa with a heavy expression, while the princess, wrapped in a quilt, leaned against the bed. Clearly, what she wanted had already been achieved.

"A'an, if you don't want to take responsibility, that's fine, but then I don't want to live anymore!"

The princess had reached this point and had already chosen two paths.

Either be with Ye Lu An or die!

But she knew Ye Lu An. He was a man who valued affection and righteousness and would definitely not leave her alone.

Ye Lu An smoked silently, one cigarette after another. His whole face was as gloomy as it could be.

He had never expected that the princess had gone crazy and would do such a shameful thing.

But now that things had happened, it was no use for him to scold her.

Finally, he said indifferently, "Give me some time. I'll take responsibility for you!"

Upon hearing this, the princess was overjoyed. Did this mean that Ye Lu An had accepted her?

But unexpectedly, Ye Lu An didn't say anything more. He picked up the shirt on the sofa, put it on neatly, and then walked out of the room.

Because the door was wide open, many people heard the commotion and came to watch. Ye Lu An knew that a group of lowly servants dared to blatantly peek at their master's privacy. They must have been invited by the princess.

With a stern face, he stepped out. Just as he was about to scold these people to leave, he unexpectedly saw that Bradley and Freya were also among them.

At that moment, Ye Lu An felt so ashamed that he even fumbled with his collar a bit nervously.

Bradley held Freya's hand and walked closer, saying calmly, "Shall we find a place to talk?"

Ye Lu An nodded, and the three of them went to the study.

After sitting down, Ye Lu An started making tea. Clearly, because the effect of the drug hadn't completely worn off, his hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Freya asked, "Do you need me to give you an acupuncture treatment to relieve it?"
