The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

Chapter 159 A Guest Arrives at the Prince Regent's Palace

After leaving the palace, Yun Mohan did not go directly back to the Regent's Mansion, but went to Duanmu Mansion. He hadn't seen her for several days and missed her very much.

When he arrived at the gate of Duanmu Mansion, he dismounted, handed the reins to his follower, straightened his clothes, and walked into the mansion.

When the servants in the palace saw him, they hurriedly saluted and said, "Greetings, Lord Regent."

Yun Mohan nodded slightly and asked, "Is the young lady here?"

The servant replied respectfully, "The young lady is in the garden."

Yun Mohan quickened his pace towards the garden and spotted a familiar figure from afar. She was dressed in a pale pink dress, leaning over to sniff a blooming flower. The sunlight shone on her, like a beautiful painting.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted up, and he called softly, "Li'er."

Xing Xuanli turned around when she heard the voice, a surprised smile blooming on her face: "Why are you here?" Then she showed a worried look,

She frowned slightly and asked, "Come here, who is looking after the children in the mansion?"

Yun Mohan walked forward, gently held her hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, I have arranged for reliable people to look after you, and nothing will happen."

Xing Xuanli gave him a reproachful look and said, "Don't be so reckless next time. You can't be careless about children."

Yun Mohan nodded and said lovingly, "Yes, yes, I'll do as you say. I haven't seen you these days, and I've missed you so much."

Xing Xuanli's cheeks flushed, and she said coquettishly, "You are so sweet."

The two smiled at each other, and the flowers around them seemed to bloom more brilliantly in this warm atmosphere.

Lan Zhu and Wei Yun tactfully withdrew, leaving the two of them alone to be together.

A gentle breeze blew past, ruffling Xing Xuanli's hair. Yun Mohan gently tucked her hair behind her ear, his fingers accidentally touching her cheek. The delicate touch made his heart flutter.

"I've been in a lot of trouble in the palace these days. Only when I think of you can I feel a moment of peace." Yun Mohan said affectionately.

Xing Xuanli raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes full of concern: "No matter what, I will always be with you."

Yun Mohan held her in his arms, hugging her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.

Yun Mohan asked softly, "Li'er, how is the investigation into my mother-in-law going?"

Xing Xuanli frowned and answered worriedly, "Progress is slow. The clues keep getting cut off inexplicably. It feels like there's a huge web behind us blocking our way."

Yun Mohan held her hand, his eyes firm: "Don't be afraid, Li'er, I will definitely send more people and find out who is behind this."

Xing Xuanli leaned on his shoulder and sighed softly: "I hope I can give my mother justice soon."

Yun Mohan gently stroked her back and soothed her, "Believe me, it won't be long."

Xing Xuanli raised her head slightly, looked at his resolute face, and nodded: "Well, I believe you."

Yun Mohan smiled slightly, his eyes full of tenderness and care: "I'm sorry for tiring you during this period. Once things are settled, we can go out for a good trip as a family."

Xing Xuanli's eyes flashed with anticipation: "That's a deal."

The breeze was blowing gently, and the two people leaning on each other looked particularly warm in the garden.

Xing Xuanli snuggled up to his broad shoulders and whispered, "Oh, by the way, the clues leading to the black-robed man have been cut off, but the footage sent back by Qingyudie shows that the black-robed man was killed by the young master of the Demon Realm. Although we can't see the young master's appearance clearly, we have to admit that this discovery has made things more complicated. We might as well start by investigating the relationship between the young master of the Demon Realm and the Shura Clan. Perhaps we can find new clues."

Yun Mohan nodded in agreement: "You are right. Although the clues about the man in black robes have been cut off, the appearance of the young master of the demon world has provided us with a new direction. Perhaps there is a bigger conspiracy behind this."

Xing Xuanli frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "But the identity of this young master of the Demon Realm is mysterious, and why he wanted to kill the black-robed man is also a mystery. Could it be that the black-robed man posed a threat to him, or is there some other unknown grudge between them?"

Yun Mohan gently held Xing Xuanli's hand and comforted her, "No matter what, let's follow this line of inquiry first. We will eventually find the answer."

At this moment, a servant came to report: "Fourth Miss, Regent, the master wants to see you."

Yun Mohan and Xing Xuanli looked at each other, both confused, but still got up and went together.

When I arrived at the main hall, I saw Duanmu Jin sitting in the main seat with a serious face.

Seeing Yun Mohan coming, he stood up and stepped forward to salute, "Your Highness, when did you come? If I hadn't let it slip, I wouldn't have known you were here."

Yun Mohan raised his hand slightly: "Master Duanmu, you are too polite. I just arrived not long ago."

Duanmu Jin hurriedly said, "It is an honor for me that Your Highness can come. I wonder what Your Highness is here for.

Yun Mohan smiled and said, "It's nothing important. I just came to see Li'er."

Duanmu Jin had nameless anger burning in his heart, but he couldn't vent his anger because of Yun Mohan's identity. Nangong Han was too arrogant and never took him seriously, not even calling him father-in-law.

He suppressed his dissatisfaction in his heart, but still had to force a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I am grateful for your kindness, but I hope Your Majesty can be more considerate of the etiquette."

Yun Mohan seemed not to understand the meaning of his words and said nonchalantly, "There is no need for such red tape between me and Li'er."

Duanmu Jin's expression grew increasingly grim, but he dared not say anything more. He could only curse inwardly, "Yun Mohan, relying on his immense power, actually treats me with such disregard."

On the other side, at the Regent's Palace, a young man in red clothes holding a red umbrella stood in front of the Regent's main gate and called out, "A guest has arrived. Would the Regent be willing to greet him?"

Xiao Muhan and Xiao Kexin, who were practicing martial arts, stopped immediately and ran to the main gate when they heard someone shouting.

Little Mu Han looked at the young man in red curiously and asked, "Who are you? What do you want from my father?"

The young man in red smiled slightly, but did not answer. He simply repeated, "Please inform the Regent."

Little Kexin blinked her bright eyes and said regretfully, "Big brother, you came at a bad time. Daddy is not at home today."

The young man in red was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "It seems I'm unlucky, but now that I'm here, I'll wait here for the prince to return."

Little Mu Han walked forward and looked him up and down: "Then you'll have to wait a long time. I don't know when Daddy will be back."

The red-dressed youth's expression remained unchanged: "It's okay, I have patience."

Xiao Kexin invited the young man in red into the house and said in a baby voice, "Big brother, come in and have a cup of tea."

The young man in red smiled and replied, "Thank you very much, little sister."

The three of them walked into the mansion together and came to the main hall.

Xiao Muhan hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare tea and snacks, and reminded them: "Hurry up and don't keep the guests waiting for too long."

After a while, tea and snacks were served. Xing Luoheng took a sip of tea and praised, "This tea has a refreshing fragrance and tastes very good."

Little Kexin blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Big brother, where are you from?"

Xing Luoheng put down the teacup and said slowly: "I come from far away."

Xiao Muhan then asked, "How far is that?"

Xing Luoheng smiled without saying anything, but there was a hint of mystery in his eyes.

Xiao Kexin: "We don't know your name yet, big brother. My name is Yun Kexin, and my brother's name is Yun Qirui."

The young man in red smiled gently: "My name is Xing Luoheng, nice to meet you."

Little Mu Han asked curiously, "Xing Luoheng, what a nice name! Big brother, is there something important that brought you to our house?"

Xiao Kexin interrupted, "Brother, big brother's last name is the same as mother's."

Xiao Muhan also showed a surprised expression: "Really, this is such a coincidence."

Xing Luoheng smiled slightly and did not respond.

Little Kexin tilted her head: "Big brother, do you know mother?"

Xing Luoheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "We've never met before."

Xiao Muhan scratched his head: "That's such a coincidence."

Xing Luoheng felt a little guilty at this moment and drank some tea to moisten his throat. He couldn't tell the two little guys that he was their uncle at the moment.

He thought to himself, "I'd better wait until I meet Yun Mohan before making any plans."

Xiao Kexin blinked and stared at Xing Luoheng: "Big brother, why aren't you talking?"

Xing Luoheng came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I was thinking about what kind of interesting story to tell you."

When Xiao Muhan heard there was a story, he immediately became excited: "Okay, okay, big brother, tell me quickly."
