“Then mother will have to think about what kind of gift she should prepare when she meets them,” Mu Yurou smiled. Looking at her expression, she seemed to be somewhat nervous to meet her daughter-in-laws for the first time, “If you don’t want to marry Zhixi, Mother will tell the Su Family explicitly.”
“Speaking of which, what if the Little Demon Empress wants to marry Zhixi to you, what will you do then?”
“Marry her to me? Why would the Little Demon Empress marry Zhixi to me?” Yun Che said with confusion.
“Oh?” Looking at Yun Che’s reaction, Mu Yurou also became confused, “Shouldn’t the Little Demon Empress know about you two… Could you have not seen her in the afternoon?”
“The afternoon… the Little Demon Empress came by during the afternoon?” Yun Che was stunned.
“Mn.” Mu Yurou nodded, “The Little Demon Empress came to visit your father to see how his injury has been healing, and she asked specially about you. I told her that you could be in the backyard, and then she headed directly towards the backyard… Could it be that she didn’t come look for you, but she left immediately?”
“…What time did she come by?”
“Probably around a quarter to four or a quarter to five,” said Mu Yurou.
“…” Yun Che thought back to that time, and if he remembered correctly, he should have been in the backyard sitting side by side with Su Zhixi, feeding fishes in the lotus pond.
“Che’er, what’s wrong?” Mu Yurou asked when she saw Yun Che was suddenly in a daze.
“Oh… Usually I would go pay the Little Demon Empress a visit every day. I suddenly remembered that I haven’t been able to go yet for today. Mother, I will go to see the Little Demon Empress, I should be back very soon,” Yun Che stood up and said.
“Come home soon,” Even though Mu Yurou noticed something strange about Yun Che, she didn’t ask any more questions.
The sky had already darkened when Yun Che flew all the way to the Little Demon Empress’ palace. Outside of the palace, there were two female attendants guarding there quietly. Yun Che landed from the sky, and said politely, “Yun Family’s Yun Che requests to see the Little Demon Empress. May two big sisters please help me pass on the message.”
“Please wait a moment, Young Patriarch Yun.” Towards the arrival of Yun Che, the two female attendants both had smiles on their faces. The one on the right stepped lightly into the palace… After a short moment, she came out, but the expression on her face was unusual.
“Can I go in now?” Yun Che said with a smile.
“Young Patriarch Yun… Please wait.” That female attendant reached out and blocked him. Her expression was a little bit awkward as he said, “The Little Demon Empress is probably not in a good mood today. She heard that the Young Patriarch Yun had arrived… she told me to pass on… one word.”
