Hong Qixing wanted to slip away; she really missed her family and couldn't help but come back for a look, but she didn't expect to wake up her mother.

Seeing her mother's furious expression, she knew she had to leave immediately. However, the old fox was still sharper than the Seven Star Abbot, Gao Shengnan's skill was still a little better than Hung Ga's.

Hong Qixing was still caught by Gao Shengnan after all.

"Mother, mother... it hurts, it hurts! Please let go, I'm in so much pain."

Hong Tianyao is out already, "Madam, don't catch a cold."

<>

"Madam, your health is paramount. For the sake of the Seven Star Frostbite, it's not worth it, is it?"

The weather is indeed cold, Gao Shengnan naturally knows this, it's a man's delaying tactic.

"Come in."

"Hong Qi Xing still wanted to run, but Gao Shengnan glared at him with one look. "Mother, I just went to see if the courtyard gate was closed."

You don't need me.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go, I'll go." Hong Tianyao pushed the mother and daughter into the house.

Hung Chih-hsing entered the room, her eyes rolled around, and she immediately changed from her previous stubborn refusal to admit fault, remembering what Tang Hao-ching had taught her.

"Mom, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry. You look so much better when you're not upset."

Gao Shengnan glanced at her and touched her forehead, "Are you possessed?"

"No, I really know I was wrong. And look, me not going home isn't running away from responsibility, is it? Isn't that a way of trying to fix things?"

"You see, now everyone says what I did was a bit excessive, but the Ruan family is even worse."

Hung Chi-hsing looked at her, "Mother, this is our plan. See, I'm back to apologize to you, aren't I?"

Gao Shengnan sneered, "You really think you were wrong?"

"Well, I don't feel like I was wrong to fight that girl, but I think I made my parents and grandmother worry about me. And of course, the Eight Immortals - that was definitely a big mistake."

Gao Shengnan had always wanted a child. How could she not love her own biological child?

Hearing her say this, the anger in his heart subsided. "Even if that Ruan girl is so annoying, you can't beat her up on the street, and you beat her so badly, she can't even see her face."

"Nonsense, how is that possible, Mother? I've known since I was young that you shouldn't hit someone in the face. I never went for a direct attack."

Gao Shengnan, upon hearing this, immediately slammed her fist on the table, startling Hong Qixing.

"Damn, karma's a bitch, isn't it? That wench actually learned our tactics from your auntie."

"Ahem... Mother, what do you mean? Tell me."

Gao Shengnan gave her a withering look, but still told the story of when she and Fu Jiujiao had fought each other back in the day.

"Mother, my aunt is really smart. If she were in the capital, I definitely wouldn't suffer so much."

"Hmph, not everyone can learn from your aunt. She's clever, I haven't seen another woman as capable as her. But you shouldn't learn from her. She has the prince behind her, who has pampered her since she was a child. Even if she really causes trouble, the prince will smooth things over. You...who cares about you? Your parents can't protect you either. Don't even think about causing trouble for your aunt, or I'd rather cripple you and keep you at home to save myself the trouble."

Hong Qixing suddenly felt his legs go weak, "Mother, can I go home now?"

"No."

The speaker is Hong Tianyao.

"Why can't I come back yet?"

Gao Shengnan asked in bewilderment.

"How could I possibly be more worried than she is?"

"That's right, Father, why can't I come back?"

"Whoever helped you out, this is a great opportunity, don't waste it. Just wait a little longer, the timing isn't right yet."

Hong Qixing nodded. Since his father said he couldn't come back, then he definitely couldn't come back.

"Father, actually... it was the Prince who helped me."

"Crown Prince?" Hong Tianyao smiled, "It's not easy. You should thank them properly when you turn back."

Hong Tianyao knew Tang Haoxing's temperament. After some thought, he was willing to lend a hand, probably because Chi Chi was really good to him, and Qixing was close to Chi Chi.

That's all there is to it.

"Well, Qixing, have you been eating well these days?" Gao Shengnan couldn't help but ask.

"I'm afraid you'll eat too well and turn into a little chubby one."

"Good, Mama. The food that Yan Yu made smells so delicious. She said she learned it all from Auntie. And her doll is so fun to play with! When will you and Father give me a little brother?"

"Why is it the younger brother?" Hong Tianyao asked.

"

A sister would do too, but a brother could take more of a beating.

Gao Shengnan gave her a glance, “Alright, it’s getting late. I’ll send you back. It wouldn’t be good if people saw us together at dawn.”

"I'll go too." Hong Tianyao thought to himself, he also missed his daughter.

"What are you doing? It's only been a few days, just looking at you like that. Knowing you're my own daughter, rest."

Hong Tianyao looked at his daughter, “Qixing, you must be good there. Listen to the prince's words. Yanyu is also someone by your aunt’s side, so you must listen to her too.”

Huo Shengnan dislikes men who talk too much, but when she turned around and got on the horse, with her daughter beside her, she was just as talkative.

Hung Chih-hsing couldn't help but think, "Does her mother miss her too?"

After all, she really didn't get beaten up today.

Gao Shengnan knew that the Ruan family had used underhanded tactics, and she became even angrier. After waking up, she conspired with her mother-in-law to feign illness and spread rumors that she was missing Hong Qixing.

Now I don't even know where the little girl ran off to after being scared. Old Madam Hong is very happy about this, what's wrong with protecting her own cub?

Besides, the Ruan family isn't completely blameless either.

With Madam Hong falling ill like this, the disciples of the Hong family over the years are not to be underestimated. They may not be everywhere in the court, but they certainly have influence.

Just because two little girls had a fight, it escalated into a power struggle between the two sides, making things completely chaotic.

Ruan Mingzhu publicly insulted people on the street, regardless of their status. When Hong Qigxing intervened, it became an act of protecting the prince. The royal face cannot be humiliated by a young girl at random.

The Ruan family is truly in a desperate situation this time and can't handle it anymore.

Ruan Mingzhu could only cry after all. After all, Tang Haojing was present that day. She truly looked down on Tang Haojing, the Crown Prince, and said some unkind words. It wasn't entirely her fault.

To quell the matter quickly, the Ruan family had to go to the Hong family's doorstep and inquire if their young one had returned.

It's a pity that Old Madam Hong is ill and didn't come out.

Gao Shengnan was pleased inside, but on the surface, she said, "Rest assured, if she comes back, I will definitely break her legs. Look at what happened to Mingzhu, I will make sure she compensates you well."

"No, no, don't do that. Children fighting isn't a big deal. Besides, Mingzhu didn't suffer any serious harm either. She was also wrong. Seven Star, just come back home and rest."

"That's not right, I still have one more point to make," Gao Shengnan said.

It's not just the Hong family, even the five golden flowers of the Gao family are sticking together.
