I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 267 Master, it's a familiar scent.

A very polite smile was on his face, and then he stood up to toast everyone.

They were taken aback, noticing Zhongli Yueluo's aloofness towards them, but said nothing.

After all, they were strangers, and it's normal for them to feel a bit distant since it was the first time they'd met in so many years.

As the group toasted and drank, their faces showed signs of intoxication. Su Mingcheng then stood up and suggested they leave.

That's true, he's the host. If he doesn't say it's over, who would dare to say it's over?

"Feng Jun, please take good care of these young friends. Yue Luo should still have something to say to her mother."

The implication was that everyone should stay away from the commotion, and Su Nianhui was quite sensible.

She stood up, bowed politely, and was about to leave when she learned that Miaoqing was able to share a table and drink with these important figures.

He was already incredibly honored, and upon hearing his master say that the party was over, he dared not linger.

But now he is He Yuhuan's caregiver, and she clings to Zhongli Yueluo's side, refusing to let go.

The interactions between Zhongli Yueluo and her are also quite interesting; he would occasionally toss a pastry or a meatball into her mouth.

"Thank you, Southern Demon Lord, thank you, Queen, Wind Lord. You take Nian back with them and leave first. Yu Huan will stay with me."

Su Fengjun nodded, and everyone left. However, Su Nianhui stared at He Yuhuan, complaining inwardly, "Another one who can't read the room."

Miao Qing was taken back to her private residence by the palace servants, while Su Fengjun and Su Nian walked along the road.

Su Nian looked up and asked him, "Father Feng, is the princess unhappy to see her mother?"

Su Fengjun shook his head. In fact, he didn't know either. He didn't understand Ruan Xinchen, nor did he understand the affairs of their previous generation.

He had only noticed that Zhongli Yueluo's expression didn't change much during the meal, so he didn't know if she was happy or not.

"She has her own ideas, and we just need to respect them."

Su Nian nodded and asked, "Then why didn't I see Father Feng Ling today?"

He kept shaking his head, wondering where his mischievous younger brother had gone.

Moreover, Zhongli Yueluo still cares about him quite a bit.

At this moment, only Ruan Xinchen, Zhongli Yueluo, and He Yuhuan remained in the courtyard.

He Yuhuan really liked the scent on Ruan Xinchen's body, and tugged at her sleeve, wanting to get closer to her.

She seemed to be kind to everyone, and even when she first saw He Yuhuan's face, she was not surprised at all.

"Yu Huan, come here."

"Master, she has a familiar scent. Is she the person you're looking for?"

Unexpectedly, He Yuhuan still remembered what she said when they first met.

“Mother, please sit down. It’s not proper for you to just stand here.”

Zhongli Yueluo spoke calmly, her eyes narrowed, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, not because she disliked her mother.

She had so many questions she wanted to ask, and she was trying to figure out which one to ask first.

"Mother"

"Moon Jewel"

The two spoke at the same time, then fell silent. He Yuhuan sat on Zhongli Yueluo's lap, looking at this one and then at that one.

"Yueluo, go ahead and ask."

"Mother, you are the princess of the Blood Demon Clan, but what about our people? How did you leave the Northern Demon Mountain?"

"I didn't expect you to ask this."

Ruan Xinchen thought she would ask her about her relationship with her father, but she started talking about these important matters right away.

He underestimated her somewhat, and took his hand, placing it in his palm.

"Northern Demon Mountain is not as the outside world says, and it is not accessible to outsiders."

"Of course I know that. Is there a specific time?"

"There are secret methods. Back then, when your uncle and I left, I never went back. He did go back, and I don't know how your maternal grandfather is doing."

Zhongli Yueluo was surprised. She didn't expect him to have an uncle. What she couldn't understand even more was why they would be on good terms with the Demon Lord of the Ghost Clan.

And why did he fall for her father, and why was he harmed by Yin Manling and her gang?

She really had too many "whys" in her mind.

If you try to ask all the questions at once, you probably won't get a complete answer today.

Ultimately, I realized I had to choose the most crucial question that could connect the whole story.

"Mother, why was Father deceived by the Fox Clan? When exactly did the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss learn that you were a descendant of the Blood Demon Clan?"

"It's all my fault, really. When I came out of the Northern Demon Mountain, I suffered a lot of backlash."

As if recalling something from a long time ago, she looked at the sky and continued, "I was young then, and I happened to see your father's handsome appearance."

Zhongli Yueluo didn't want to hear their romantic tale: "You've fallen in love with your father."

"Not really, it's just that I saved a fox from his clutches, and that's how this ill-fated relationship began."

"Then why are you so close to the Demon Lord and Queen of the Ghost Clan?"

"Your uncle and I first traveled to the Southern Demon Mountain. Our blood saved many people at that time, when the Southern Demon Mountain was ravaged by an epidemic."

"Won't it control them, corrupt their minds, and turn them into slaves?"

Zhongli Yueluo had always believed this rumor, but it sounded different coming from his mother.

"That's one way to put it, which is why they're so wary of the people from the Northern Demon Mountain, but the people from the Northern Demon Mountain generally have low cultivation levels."

"So this is a rumor fabricated by the people of North Demon Mountain?"

"A large part is, and a large part is not, because the blood of the royal family of the Northern Demon Mountain is still very precious."

"Then I'll make a wild guess: you and your uncle saved the Southern Demon Lord and his queen back then, didn't you?"

"Yes, and we became sworn brothers."

"So, Mother, the fox you saved back then, could it be Yin Manling?!"

She just smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. Zhongli Yueluo had guessed everything. Later, Zhongli Quanhuang was also tricked by them.

In her heart, Zhongli Yueluo already had a rough outline of the story, which did not actually begin with her.

It started with her previous generation.

"Mother, I understand. So, will you return to North Demon Mountain, or continue to be an honored guest at South Demon Mountain?"

"Yueluo, I always feel there's a distance between you and me when you speak to me. After all... she raised you, didn't she..."

"Mother, there are so many things I can't explain to you, but I respect and love you in my heart."

"Yes, remember this: your bloodline is connected to the entire Demon Realm."

Zhongli Yueluo carried He Yuhuan to the side, stood up, bent down, and hugged Ruan Xinchen.

"I never knew my mother's embrace was so warm. I will definitely bring my family back together."

Zhongli Yueluo's voice choked as she said this.

I don't know if it's because they've connected all the grievances from their past and present lives, or what.

Ruan Xinchen sensed her emotions and gently patted her back.

"It's so good that you don't look like the rumors, otherwise I would really regret it to death."

"Mother, those who plotted against us should pay the price they deserve."

Ruan Xinchen didn't want Zhongli Yueluo to embark on the path of political intrigue, but it seems too late to say that now.
