Harem Daily Life

Chapter 295: Fanning the flames

He Linzhang wrote them down one by one, and he had to complete all the mediation outside by himself.

Tao Yanyan thought about it, and then briefly recounted how Mu Yu and Gu Xinran got together in the past.

"I suspect that it was the person who asked Miss Gu out that year who did it, but Mu Yu didn't know who it was, and he didn't check it at the time. It's been a long time, so I'm afraid the only way to investigate this matter is to start from the Gu family after returning."

She was cooking as she spoke, and didn't notice the coldness that flashed across He Linzhang's eyes.

He Linzhang had learned from Lord Gu that the one who invited Miss Gu to watch the lanterns was Concubine Li, who had not yet entered the palace at that time. He could not imagine that such a gentle and harmless person would actually do so many tricks behind the scenes!

Gu is Yan Yan's biological mother. If Gu had not suddenly decided to entrust Yan Yan to the Tao couple, there is no way Yan Yan would be alive now!

When He Linzhang thought that Yan Yan might not survive and might be drowned as an infant, his heart instantly shrank into a ball and he felt extremely painful.

Tao Yanyan quickly cooked a few dishes and told everyone everything he knew. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that nothing had been left out.

Seeing that this time of solitude was about to end, Tao Yanyan felt a little regretful: "Your Majesty, you must be careful when you are outside. This Penglai Island is full of people from the Demon Cult. Don't let them be recognized! It's difficult to do it alone. You don't have many people with you. You must be careful in everything."

Seeing that she was in a difficult situation and still worried about her own safety, He Linzhang gently hugged her and said, "Yan Yan, I took to heart what Madam Mu said today. It is a great blessing for me to be with Yan Yan in this life."

Tao Yanyan hugged him and patted his back gently. The fact that he came to save her personally this time also refreshed her perception of him.

Time waits for no one, and if they don't go out now, it might arouse suspicion. Tao Yanyan had no choice but to take the two of them and serve the dishes back to the room.

Miss Qian enjoyed a delicious meal and liked Tao Yanyan with all her heart. When the two returned to the banquet, Miss Qian praised Tao Yanyan's cooking skills.

The eldest lady heard this and said disdainfully: "She only knows how to win people's hearts. She is exactly the same as your mother."

Tao Yanyan was in a good mood today, but she couldn't bear it when she denounced the original owner's biological mother again! So she put away her smile and said coldly: "Is the eldest lady so sarcastic and mean every day? She always drags others out to criticize a few words? Oh, it's really pitiful to be your daughter-in-law. I'm afraid I have to come to you to follow the rules all day long, no matter what I do?"

After saying that, he glanced at the people from the Dong family and the Qi family, and saw that both families had hesitant expressions.

"Madam, you are an expert in martial arts. If your daughter-in-law does something that does not satisfy you, will you teach her a lesson? Even the Demon Lord has been injured by you, so I'm afraid your daughter-in-law who is not related to you by blood will not be able to escape his clutches either." Sometimes, it feels good to fan the flames.

Tao Yan spoke very quickly and had finished speaking before anyone could react.

The eldest lady's face suddenly changed, and she was on the verge of a rage. She had thrown out of her mind the words her mother, the old lady, had told her to be patient. Now she just wanted to slap Tao Yanyan to death to relieve her hatred.

A palm wind came down without any explanation. The Demon Lord used his teleportation technique to quickly block it and moved Tao Yanyan to the side. He Linzhang secretly pushed with his internal force, and the palm wind with 100% power was deflected.

The Demon Lord helped the man steady and frowned. He always felt that at that moment, there seemed to be a hidden force helping him.

He looked around and saw only ladies and young ladies, and there didn't seem to be any hermits or great masters.

Is this feeling wrong?

The Demon Lord couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Seeing that her son had saved Tao Yanyan once again and was determined to go against her, the eldest lady was furious.

"Xingchuan, please move aside. She is disrespectful to elders and uses sweet words to flatter others. I will teach her a lesson today so that she will remember this lesson."

The Demon Lord said in a cold voice: "The ladies are still here, I hope mother can control her temper. My sister is young and has just returned to Penglai Island. She has not been with mother for a long time. Why doesn't mother give her some time?"

Seeing that her son was completely on Tao Yanyan's side, the eldest lady was so angry that her heart ached.

Madam Mu stepped forward to persuade her: "Madam, you are really too irritable. You have already injured the Demon Lord, are you going to hurt my uncle's other child? Why are you so intolerant? Humph, your Yin family is not good to the child, then let me take the child back to the Mu family to raise. The apple of my Mu family's eye was not born for you to harm!"

Mrs. Mu's words were merciless, and the other ladies, noticing that the atmosphere was not right, came out to mediate.

He Linzhang's eyes were fixed on the back of the annoying Demon Lord who was protecting Tao Yanyan, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it.

Although it's a good thing that someone is protecting the little concubine, can you please not hold her with those hands? It's so infuriating!

The Demon Lord felt a strong gaze coming towards him, so he turned around, only to see Miss Qian staring at him intently. His scalp instantly went numb.

He gave Weilan a look, and Weilan stepped forward to take Tao Yanyan, protecting her as she retreated.

The Demon Lord said: "Today's banquet ends here. Ladies, I hope you will forgive me for the poor hospitality."

He was closing the scene for the eldest lady, and his approachable appearance made the young ladies from the Dong and Qi families so delighted that they could not help but beam with joy.

Tao Yanyan just smiled faintly. She was the biggest winner today. Not only did she confront the eldest lady, she was happy, but she also met He Linzhang. A big stone fell from her heart, and she felt much more relaxed instantly. This can be said to be the most relaxing day since she moved into Penglai Palace.

The Demon Lord saw her smiling face and felt helpless and amused. He didn't expect that this cheap sister was a person who would not suffer any loss. She was stubborn and strong, but she looked soft and cute. The contrast was really huge.

When she thought that the daughter of the Qian family could actually make this adopted sister happy, she immediately invited her to come and accompany Tao Yanyan often.

When the Dong and Qi families heard this, they looked puzzled.

Madam Qian can be said to be the most glorious person today. Her daughter used to be an inconspicuous supporting role wherever she went, but today she is the closest to the Demon Lord's sister, surpassing the other two families. She was very proud of herself, and when she left Penglai Palace, she was in high spirits, and it felt like her tail was about to rise to the sky.

He Linzhang left reluctantly with the Qian family, and had to hide his reluctance and wait until the next day to embrace the beauty in his arms again.

The Taoist priest felt that the longer it dragged on, the more trouble would arise, so while the Demon Lord was still hesitating, he proposed a second plan.
