Anyway, the Ye family was a small fry that he could easily be dealt with if he wanted to destroy and make their company go bankrupt, but since Tang Moyu was relying on the deal her company had with Ye Corporation, he cannot act recklessly. There was no other choice but to seek the empress dowager's help this time.

  On the third ring, his call was finally answered by Song Huifen.

  "Tianyi." Her cool, smooth tone that bore an imperial aura was enough to make the people around Feng Tianyi and Tang Moyu fall silent. "Are you calling to say you want to stop the therapy sessions? You cannot back out anymore." She continued.

  "No, mother. I'm not calling because of that." The devil replied. "Your future daughter-in-law needs help and I'm wondering if you could assist us."

  There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line as Song Huifen stopped whatever she was working on and adjusted herself comfortably in her seat.

  "Tang Moyu? What about her?" She questioned. "I hope you aren't wasting my time, Tianyi. I'm currently swamped with work right now."

  There was an underlying warning in her words. He'd better give her a good reason why she should extend an olive branch to help his woman.

  The fallen empress gulped next to the devil. She wasn't even aware that Feng Tianyi's mother was aware of her existence. Just how much did his mother know about her? She wondered.

  "No, not her but Xiao Bao and Little Star." Feng Tianyi made it clear.

  "Oh?" Now, that definitely caught his mother's undivided attention. "What happened to Xiao Bao and his sister?"

  "They've been taken away…" Then Feng Tianyi proceeded to explain the situation regarding the Ye family and how the Tang twins had been taken away with young Lu Ziluo.

  They heard the empress dowager hummed and Tang Moyu silently prayed that Feng Tianyi's mother would accept their request, or else she wouldn't have any choice but to forcefully retrieve her children, no matter what the consequences of her actions would be.

  "Alright. Since I've been waiting for a long time for you to bring those children to me, let me see them myself. Anyway, Tang Moyu must accompany me." She demanded. "They might be scared, so it's best that they see her first." Song Huifen said, much to everyone's relief.

  "Sure. I don't intend to stay still without doing anything, knowing that they are waiting for me." Tang Moyu answered the empress dowager.

  Tang Moyu sat down beside Feng Tianyi as she waited for Song Huifen's arrival. She owed him this one. All of this could have been avoided if she was strong enough to protect them on her own.

  Song Fengyan took a soda can from his cousin's fridge and opened it with a loud click.

  "I'm glad I will be able to witness it. Ye Xixi would have a hard time dealing with Aunty," he told He Lianchen, who was sitting on a stool next to Gu Yuyao, as they ate the cookies that were on the kitchen counter.

  Gu Yuyao broke her cookie in half and fed the other half to He Lianchen.

  "Sucks to be her. I've never met any woman that could be as overbearing as her. Tianyi probably got his arrogance from her"

  Meanwhile, Li Meili tried to calm Lu Tianxin down. Ye Xiaozu also sat in silence as they waited for Song Huifen. He couldn't believe how powerful the devil was. So if his Aunt Xixi really offended him and the empress, Feng Tianyi wouldn't waste his energy in talking and would break them altogether?

  A part of him wished he could be as strong and unyielding as Feng Tianyi. He was able to become Tang Moyu's anchor when she was most in need, unlike him who ran away, feeling full of himself not knowing that Lu Tianxin was suffering.

  "Are you nervous?" Feng Tianyi asked the empress. She had remained silent since the phone call. "Don't be. My mother doesn't bite…"

  He then leaned forward to whisper next to her ear "……but I do."?before nipping her ear lobe gently.

  Tang Moyu squeaked and pulled away from him, her eyes widening from his touch. How could he be so being calm right now? Can't he see that she was already at her wits end, worrying over her children?!

  "Calm down, Moyu." The devil said as he took her hand back in his. "Trust me. My mother would be able to get them back without the need for a bloodbath. Well, not unless they ask for it."

  Tang Moyu and the rest didn't wait for too long as Song Huifen's entourage entered the Peach Blossom Garden in a hurry. They were surprised that the old woman brought people with her.

  Song Huifen stepped out of the car, wearing a nicely fitted white and blue qipao with flower embroidery on it, her feet encased in a pair of elegant high heels. She was greeted by Tang Moyu, who'd been waiting for her just outside her gate.

  Upclose, Tang Moyu can see the resemblance Feng Tianyi had with his mother, who was emitting such a regal aura that clearly shows that she was not a person to be messed with.

  "Tang Moyu. Finally, I have a chance to meet you." Song Huifen said.

  "It's my honor meeting you, Lady Song." Tang Moyu replied, short and polite.
