Chapter 260 - 260 Stop Bluffing!
260 Stop Bluffing!
Mo Beiyuan had just put on his clothes when the secret guard brought the news from the Prime Minister’s Estate over.
“Emperor Wu’an took Sweetcake to the Prime Minister’s residence and hung the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister’s residence outside the city gate. He killed the eldest young master of the Prime Minister’s residence and tied the Prime Minister and his wife up before throwing them into the swill bucket in the back alley of the largest restaurant in the Imperial City.”
Yun Ran was speechless.
“Wait, didn’t he bring Little Sweetcake to buy candied hawthorn?” How did he get to the Prime Minister’s Estate?
The secret guard replied, “They went to buy candied hawthorn. They also went to the Prime Minister’s residence.”
“Also went?”
Yun Ran didn’t think this was done casually at all.
Xuanyuan Yu should have gone to avenge them. Why did he kill Yunhai?
Yun Ran naturally did not care if Yun Hai died.
She was worried that Xuanyuan Yu would attack the Prime Minister’s Estate under the eyes of the East Continent’s Emperor and slap the East Continent’s Emperor in the face. The peaceful relationship between the two countries would be broken.
The corners of Mo Beiyuan’s eyes drooped, and his expression was extremely cold. His pupils were like the night sky in winter, emitting a coldness that could not be dispelled.
“Did he kill someone in front of Sweetcake?”
Similarly, Mo Beiyuan did not care if Yun Hai was dead or not.
What he cared about was whether Xuanyuan Yu had killed someone in front of his Sweetcake.
How old was the little packrat? He did not want the little packrat to witness such a bloody and brutal scene.
Xuanyuan Yu could not control his emotions. Killing someone in front of the little packrat was the reason why Mo Beiyuan was angry.
The secret guard reported what had happened at the Prime Minister’s residence truthfully. “No. When Emperor Wu’an attacked, he made Sweetcake close her eyes and attacked very quickly. Yun Hai didn’t even have the chance to scream before he was beheaded.”
After hearing his words, Mo Beiyuan’s expression improved slightly.
Not long after the secret guard returned to deliver the news, Xuanyuan Yu returned with the little packrat.
The little packrat giggled in his grandfather’s arms. Clearly, she did not know what had just happened.
“Mother, Grandfather brought Sweetcake to fight the big baddie!”
The packrat clenched her fists and spoke in a childish voice.
Seeing her running towards Mo Beiyuan with her short legs, Yun Ran quickly went forward to stop her and hugged her.
“Father, hug.”
The packrat was in her arms and even waved her two short arms at Mo Beiyuan for a hug.
Yun Ran saw Mo Beiyuan take a few steps forward and raise his arm.
Looking at his natural and skillful movements, it was obvious that he had forgotten the injuries on his body.
Yun Ran coughed softly. “Daddy’s arm is twisted. He can’t hug you for the next few days.”
The fair and soft little girl widened her big black eyes and exclaimed in surprise, “What do you mean by twisted arm?”
Yun Ran explained, “It’s just that his arm is injured and he can’t carry you anymore.”
“Is Daddy injured?” The smile on the packrat’s face disappeared and she revealed a worried expression. The tears in his big dark eyes came as they pleased. Yun Ran admired her super-developed tear ducts.
The packrat cried sadly. Those who did not know better would think that something was wrong with Mo Beiyuan.
“He just can’t hug you for the time being. When he recovers, he can still play with you.” Yun Ran wiped her tears and coaxed her gently to eliminate the uneasiness in her heart.
“Then does it hurt when Daddy is injured? Sweetcake has to blow on Daddy. It won’t hurt anymore.”
Xuanyuan Yu touched his nose. His arm was injured? He was afraid that he had just stabbed it.
However, Mo Beiyuan was a man. Why was he bragging? How pretentious!
“He’s an adult. He’s not afraid of pain.”
“Afraid! Daddy is afraid of pain!”
The soft and fair little packrat had just cried. There were still crystal tears on her thick curly eyelashes. Her big eyes were watery from crying, and the tip of her nose was pink. She looked extremely pitiful.
Her voice trembled slightly, and she looked like she was about to cry as she looked at Mo Beiyuan eagerly.
