Xuan Yuan Ling felt quite helpless about Xuan Yuan Old King’s situation and could only coax him gently, "It's not that Mother has lost weight; it's that you've been eating well lately and have gained weight all over. You've put on some flesh, so your hands naturally feel fuller, which is why you think Mother has lost weight. Do you understand?"
Xuan Yuan Ling's explanation left the ladies at Spring Blossom Pavilion speechless. However, every time Xuan Yuan Old King came over, he just wanted to drink. He would call for the girls but wouldn’t engage with them; he simply wanted their company while he drank. It was said that Consort Wang had a period of wandering in brothels after arguing with Xuan Yuan Old King when she was young, which explained his lingering attachment to such places.
Perhaps it was due to some special feelings.
"Oh? Is that so? Have I really gained weight? It's really not that your mother has lost weight?" Xuan Yuan Old King, clearly drunk and swaying, still clung to the pillar stubbornly. His nostalgic feelings for his deceased wife moved the young ladies, who began to twist their handkerchiefs and wipe away tears in sympathy.
"It really is you who has gained weight. I’ve never lied to you! Right? Come on, don’t hold onto Mother so tightly; she’s weak and can’t bear your strength. Let her walk by herself, okay?" Xuan Yuan Ling fully embraced his quirky and nonsensical style, coaxing and deceiving Xuan Yuan Old King into loosening his grip on the pillar.
However, Xuan Yuan Old King clearly did not fully trust Xuan Yuan Ling.
"How could you not have lied to me? How could you not?" Xuan Yuan Old King seemed to recall something, standing still and shouting with a strained voice.
Xuan Yuan Ling was already feeling irritable today and was quickly losing patience. He scolded the drunken Xuan Yuan Old King with a dark expression.
"What do you mean I haven't lied? You’re the one who’s lying! I think your head is filled with water! Tell me, what have I done wrong as your son? When have I ever deceived you?"
Xuan Yuan Ling did not shy away from the fact that he had a mental illness, but he did not blame Xuan Yuan Old King for his negligence that led to this condition. On the contrary, he felt that he could use his madness to say things normal people wouldn’t dare to say and do things normal people wouldn’t dare to do; it was a kind of liberation, a form of relaxation.
Upon hearing Xuan Yuan Ling say this, Xuan Yuan Old King widened his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and angrily spoke up,
"Do you think I can forget just because I've had some drinks? Let me tell you, I will remember how you deceived me for the rest of my life!" As soon as Xuan Yuan Old King spoke up, despite his drunken slur, Xuan Yuan Ling naturally understood which incident his father was referring to.
"Alright, alright! That was a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding! Didn't we agree not to bring it up again? Why are you still mentioning it? This is being untrustworthy, you know?"
Xuan Yuan Ling hurriedly tried to suppress Xuan Yuan Old King's subsequent words, pulling him away to leave.
However, a drunk person is often stubborn and makes things difficult, especially someone as straightforward as Xuan Yuan Old King, who was famously hot-tempered in his youth. How could he allow himself to only say half of what he wanted?
"Don't stop me! What I want to say is that once you insisted that This King slept with the girls here, which made This King think he had wronged your mother and almost castrated himself when he returned..."
"Jin Lan! What are you standing there for?!" With Xuan Yuan Ling's furious shout, Jin Lan hurriedly stepped forward to support the swaying Xuan Yuan Old King. Xuan Yuan Ling originally intended to help Xuan Yuan Old King turn and leave but caught sight of a familiar silhouette as he turned.
Although the silhouette flashed by quickly and had simply disguised itself, when it comes to disguise techniques, the Xuanyuan Family is the origin. That little girl thought she could hide from his eyes just because she disguised herself; how could that be possible?
"Jin Lan, take the old man back first! I have something to do!" Xuan Yuan Ling said, unceremoniously leaving Xuan Yuan Old King behind. This sudden change left Jin Lan, who was used to having Xuan Yuan Ling accompany him while escorting the drunken Old Prince Xuanyuan back, momentarily unable to adapt.
"Heir! Heir!" Jin Lan didn't even have a chance to greet Xuan Yuan Ling before he saw him swiftly ascend to the private room on the second floor. Jin Lan's eyes widened in disbelief as he watched Xuan Yuan Ling's hurried departure.
Jin Lan truly couldn't understand... What happened to the Heir?
What kind of stunning beauty did the usually indifferent Heir see that made him abandon Old Prince Xuanyuan?
Unfortunately, Xuan Yuan Ling moved too quickly, and Jin Lan couldn't see clearly who he followed into the private room.
"Where's that brat?" Xuan Yuan Old King asked drowsily as he began to sober up.
Jin Lan quickly came to his senses and whispered, "Your Highness, the young master has something to attend to for a while. I will escort you back."
Jin Lan dared not mention that Xuan Yuan Ling had entered the private room on the second floor; otherwise, Xuan Yuan Old King would surely have this Spring Blossom Pavilion torn down! After all, this Spring Blossom Pavilion had backing and could not be easily dismantled.
"Something to attend to? Hmph! What could he possibly have? Recently, hasn't he been infatuated with Xia Huxin? That girl... wasn't she always pestering Jing Tian'ao before? This King... no, it's not that I haven't thought about matching that girl with my son, but... but my son has always been one to keep women at bay. The reason I sent you to him back then was to see if that kid liked men... With your delicate appearance, if he likes men, he would definitely... pounce on you."
Although Xuan Yuan Ling's words were fragmented, Jin Lan understood them clearly. He was instantly shocked by the Old Prince Xuanyuan's past intentions. Was this really acceptable?
"Your Highness, you are drunk. Jin Lan will help you back." Jin Lan laughed awkwardly, wanting to change the subject. If he let Old Prince Xuanyuan continue, who knows what other explosive topics might arise.
His heart was definitely much more fragile than Old Prince Xuanyuan's.
The drunken Xuan Yuan Old King was supported by Jin Lan as they left the Spring Blossom Pavilion. Meanwhile, on the second floor in the private room, Xuan Yuan Ling had just entered behind Huxin when he heard a cold shout.
"Who let you in? Get out!" Huxin's icy voice rang out mercilessly. Xuan Yuan Ling swiftly dodged the cups and plates thrown at him by Huxin, his dark eyes narrowing into slits as he fixed his gaze on Huxin's disguised face, unable to help but chuckle.
"Sister Huxin, your disguise technique is clearly that of a beginner. Don't you think your chin doesn't match your forehead properly? Do you know where you went wrong?"
As Xuan Yuan Ling spoke, he boldly walked towards Huxin. Since he had already entered this private room, as a man, he had the opportunity to be alone with Huxin; there was no way he would leave now.
"Because the potion you prepared is missing an ingredient. If I were to prepare it for you, you would know what true disguise technique is!"
