Seeing Huo Yingcheng walk out by himself, his mothers smile froze on her lips.

Seeing her son act blur, anger rose within her. Where are you heading right now?

Huo Yingcheng replied with a calm expression, Go back home to sleep, of course. Im dead busy. I still have to wake up early tomorrow morning.

What? Go back home? You scoundrel!

Huo Yingchengs mother smacked his head. Youre just leaving the young lady in your room by herself? How could you deny all responsibility after what youve done to her! You rascal!

Huo Yingcheng:

He was dumbfounded. Mom, what are you talking about? What young lady?

Still acting blur? Do you think your mom has no idea? I went to your room and I saw it all. Shes still resting in there right now. I recognize that young lady. Its the princess consorts bestie, isnt it? To think you even dare to do that to her bestie. And worse, youre not taking responsibility for what youve done to her. Youre worse than an animal!

Huo Yingcheng was dumbfounded by all these accusations.

F*ck!

He truly wouldnt be able to clear his name!

Mom, dont spout nonsense. She got drunk and I couldnt find her room so I arranged for her to sleep in mine. If not you think Ill be able to leave with ease

Shut up, I dont want to listen to that!

Huo Yingchengs mother refused to listen to his explanation. She pointed at the palace. Go back in right now, and bear the responsibility that you ought to bear.

Huo Yingcheng:

What the hell!

He didnt do anything with Yu Baoer!

F*ck, he was merely trying to do a good deed. Who knew such a thing would happen? Most importantly, how the hell did his mother see that?

It wasnt something that could be explained in a few words. With his mother pressuring him, Huo Yingcheng had no choice but to go back with a glum face.

When he reached the main hall, Helian Niancheng was still outside. Seeing him return, he raised a brow in confusion.

Huo Yingcheng took out a cigarette at the entrance and said in a dispirited tone, Im finished, Major-general. My mom saw me sending her into my room and she refused to listen to my explanation. Shes also forbidding me from going home. Now, Ill never be able to clear my name.

Brother Huo, who did your mom see you take to your room?

Huo Yingcheng had just finished speaking when the bride Gu Qingjiu came in from another direction in her evening gown. She asked Huo Yingcheng with a beam, Brother Huo, youre not getting any younger. Its about time you settle down. If you have someone in mind, why not tell us? Perhaps we can help give you some advice.

Ugh no.

Huo Yingcheng said in a disgruntled tone. How would he dare to tell her the person he took to his room was the drunk Yu Baoer?

Gu Qingjiu smiled. Helian Niancheng circled an arm around Gu Qingjius waist and cast a meaningful look at Huo Yingcheng. Then youd better explain this matter to your mother clearly. Were going in first. Remember to wake up early tomorrow morning.

Huo Yingcheng:

Major-general was planning to stand by and watch him die.

Huo Yingcheng felt a chilly feeling in his heart.

He spat out cigarette smoke, and with no other alternative, could only go in and see how things go.

When he rescued Yu Baoer back then, he had wanted Qingjiu to take care of her bestie herself. Now things are great. He got himself into trouble and there was no way for him to clear his name.

Recalling the gaze his mother gave him, that pained look in her eyes, Huo Yingcheng felt a sense of despair.

When he opened the door, he saw that Yu Baoer had already removed the blanket and was sleeping with her arms and legs spread open in an unglam position.
