Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Chapter 542 Misunderstandings within misunderstandings will only become bigger misunderstandings.

He raised his hand and ruffled Fu Xiuyu's hair, his tone magnanimous.

"Xiuyu, since Xiaofei still misses you, then Grandpa is at ease. Go back, go back to her side. I am already very gratified to see you again in my lifetime and to know that you are safe and sound. I have no regrets."

Fu Wenzhu's words were sincere and heartfelt, but Fu Xiuyu was stunned upon hearing them.

He had longed to return to Ye Fei's side day and night, but after spending these past few months with his grandfather, he suddenly realized that Fu Wenzhu had grown old.

He was no longer the all-powerful man who could hold up the sky for him in his memory; the white hair at his temples and his wrinkled hands told the story of the vicissitudes of time.

A strong sense of guilt instantly welled up in Fu Xiuyu's heart.

He turned his head sharply to look at Shen Xingmian, his eyes filled with gratitude, but he shook his head firmly.

"Aunt, thank you for your understanding, Xiaofei. Xiuyu will always remember this kindness."

He took a deep breath, his gaze returning to Fu Wenzhu, whose hair and beard were completely white, beside him. His voice was choked with emotion, yet unusually resolute.

"It was only after I returned and saw my grandfather that I realized how selfish and irresponsible I was when I was young and impetuous and left without a word!"

Fu Xiuyu stepped forward, grasped Fu Wenzhu's calloused and wrinkled hand tightly, and turned to Shen Xingmian to continue speaking.

"As a child, filial piety is of utmost importance. My grandfather is getting old and needs his children and grandchildren to be around him. Now that I have returned, how can I abandon him again and return to the Kingdom of Flowers alone?"

"Xiuyu earnestly requests his aunt to tell Xiaofei that he understands her feelings and asks her to take good care of herself. He wants him to stay by his grandfather's side and fulfill his filial duty. After his passing, he will immediately set off to return and reunite with her!"

These words were resounding, filled with remorse for the past and a determination to take responsibility.

Fu Wenzhu was clearly surprised that his grandson would make such a decision. He stared blankly at Fu Xiuyu, his lips trembling slightly.

He raised his hand and patted Fu Xiuyu's head, then gave him a playful tap, his tone tinged with reproach.

"You brat! What do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm too old to move? Your grandpa is strong and healthy, why would I need you to watch over me every day? Hurry up and get back to the Kingdom of Flowers! I might live a few more years if I don't see you!"

"no!"

Fu Xiuyu's stubbornness kicked in, and he started to act shamelessly.

"Grandpa, wherever you are, I'll be there! Either you come back to the Kingdom of Hundred Flowers with me, or I'll stay here with you. I won't leave you!"

"you…"

Just as Fu Wenzhu was about to beat up Fu Xiuyu, Ming Jingxing joined in the fun, laughing and saying.

"Old Fu, why don't you go to the Kingdom of a Hundred Flowers? Xingmian and I can come visit you later, it'll be so much more fun!"

"Because of you, I absolutely cannot go!"

Fu Wenzhu sneered, directly exposing his thoughts.

"I know exactly what you're up to, you old monster. You're just trying to provoke me by showing off your love!"

"I've shown it off, so what can you do about it?"

Ming Jingxing made a funny face like a child.

"If you're so capable, why don't you find one yourself!"

"You old bastard, you deserve a beating! I won't be satisfied until I give you a good beating!"

Fu Wenzhu was so angry that he glared and punched Ming Jingxing.

The other person didn't back down either, raising their hand to catch his fist, and the two instantly started wrestling, arguing and shouting like two ignorant children.

"It's such a mess!"

Looking at the chaotic scene before her, Bai Yue rubbed her throbbing temples and sighed helplessly.

"The young couple is showing off their love! And the old couple is still showing off their love!"

Just as she was pondering how to stop this farce, Yuwen Cheng, disheveled, ran out of the inn.

The moment he saw Bai Yue, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over excitedly, grabbing her arm.

"Great! Xiaoyue! You're finally back! My miserable days are finally over!"

"Hard times? What does that mean?"

Just as Bai Yue was completely bewildered, Yuwen Xiao walked out of the inn with a dark face and shouted in a deep voice.

"Hey, Yuwen Cheng! Our match isn't over yet! Who told you to come out and relax? Go back here!"

Yuwen Cheng shuddered in fright and instinctively hid behind Bai Yue, pleading pitifully.

"Xiaoyue, please save me! My senior brother forces me to spar every day, he's exhausting me!"

"Xiaoyue?"

Upon seeing that it was indeed Bai Yue, Yuwen Xiao disregarded everything else, rushed forward, and embraced her tightly.

"Xiaoyue! You're finally back safe and sound! Do you know how scared I was when that bastard Yuwen Cheng lost you!"

The sudden hug startled everyone present.

Fu Xiuyu was the first to react, and immediately bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He pointed at Yuwen Xiao and sternly rebuked him.

"Yuwen Xiao! If you want revenge on Xiao Fei, come at me! How dare you treat her daughter so disrespectfully!"

After scolding Yuwen Xiao, he suddenly turned to look at Yuwen Yi, who was standing there dumbfounded, and roared at him with disappointment.

"You idiot! Are you made of wood?! Your father has already laid hands on your wife, shouldn't you at least react?"

"this…"

When Yuwen Yi's name was called, he subconsciously exchanged a glance with Yuwen Ze beside him, both of them showing extremely strange expressions.

After all, his "father" wasn't a man at all!

Yuwen Yi's cheeks turned red as he struggled to his feet before he stammered an explanation.

"Uncle Fu... Uncle Fu, things really aren't what you think... My father..."

"Isn't he just grudges against my Xiaofei? If he's so capable, he can come at me!"

Just as Fu Xiuyu was about to continue his angry rant, Yuwen Xiao grabbed him by the collar, his voice low and dangerous.

"Fu Xiuyu, what did you mean by that? Who said I have a grudge against Miss Fei?"

"Ha, if it weren't for my grudge against Xiaofei, why would you target me like this!"

Fu Xiuyu was not afraid and spoke directly.

"To be honest, you're a grown man, losing a martial arts match to Xiaofei is fine, why are you being so petty, always..."

"Uncle Fu, you may have misunderstood!"

Bai Yue stepped forward, interrupting Fu Xiuyu's words.

"Master Yuwen is actually an admirer of my mother! The reason she targets you in every way is simply because she looks down on you from the bottom of her heart and thinks you are not good enough for my mother!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiuyu froze on the spot and subconsciously retorted.

"Admirers? They look down on me? How could that be!"

"How is it impossible!"

Yuwen Cheng immediately approached aggressively, raised his chin at Fu Xiuyu, and spoke with disdain.

"Miss Fei is such a stunningly talented and exceptionally beautiful woman! She and my brother Xiaohan are deeply in love, a truly perfect match! But it was you, you vixen, who interfered and forcibly separated them..."

"Uncle Cheng, may I interrupt for a moment? It seems you also have a slight misunderstanding about what happened back then!"

Before Yuwen Cheng could finish speaking, Bai Yue interrupted him.
