"What's going on?" Feng Tianyi asked as he wheeled himself to the sitting room, seeing Tang Beixuan walking back and forth. It was obvious that something came up. Tang Moyu hadn't come home yet, even after she said that she would just drop by Li Meili's boutique before coming home. ;

  "Big Bro, you have to help me." Tang Beixuan said almost pleadingly. ;

  "Tell me what happened." Feng Tianyi replied. ;

  Tang Beixuan then had no other choice but to come clean to his big brother, revealing that he'd been after Li Meili for over five years and his sister just found out today. ;

  Feng Tianyi couldn't believe what he was hearing and blinked twice. Wait. So the woman he'd been talking about was Tang Moyu's best friend, Li Meili? No wonder Tang Beixuan had been conflicted these days. ;

  He tried to gauge if the younger Tang was joking, but he could only see panic and exhaustion written all over his face.

  "So Big Bro, can you help me?" Tang Beixuan asked warily. "Please convince Moyu Jie." ;

  Feng Tianyi shook his head and smiled at him. ;

  "It's fine, Beixuan. Don't worry. Moyu and Meili would be fine. Don't worry too much." ;

  "But it's easier said than done, Big Bro!" Tang Beixuan exclaimed. "What if Moyu Jie blamed Meili? I don't want them to argue because of me." He said in a solemn voice. ;

  Of course, he knew how close the two women were. They were practically best friends since childhood. He now understood why Li meili didn't want his sister to know. Not that he could blame her.

  "I believe and trust your sister's judgement, Beixuan. She isn't the kind of person who will be blinded by pride. You and Meili are important to her, so can't you have a little faith in your sister?" Feng Tianyi said, hoping that the younger Tang would calm down. ;

  The devil knew his woman would be level headed about this. Maybe by now, she had already explained and cleared her side to Li Meili, clearing the misunderstanding between them. That was one of the things he liked about Tang Moyu. She never jumped to conclusions without hearing the facts from both sides. ;

  His thoughts were forced to put on hold when his phone rang, indicating a phone call coming from the empress herself.

  "Moyu, are you on your way home? Dinner isn't ready yet. Baobao and Little Star are also starting to wonder where you are." He said once he picked up her call. ;

  "Hn, I'm on my way. I brought Meili with me. Is my stupid little brother with you?" She asked with irritation, making the devil laugh in amusement. ;

  "En, he is here." He said in a loud voice, giving Tang Beixuan a knowing look. "Do you need me to do something?" He asked, making Tang Beixuan shiver in his spot. ;

  "Yes. Please make sure he doesn't leave Peach Blossom Garden. We will be home in fifteen minutes if there's no traffic on the main road. Please also tell Baobao and Little Star not to worry. Mommy will be home soon." Tang Moyu said before cutting the line. ;

  Feng Tianyi set aside his phone and turned his attention to Tang Beixuan, who was now attempting to leave the guest house, tip-toeing his way out. ;

  "Ah, I don't think that's a good idea, Beixuan. Moyu asked me to keep you here. I really don't like disappointing my wifey, so if you could please get back here and sit down while we wait, I would appreciate it if you don't give me any headaches." He told the younger man, who was caught red-handed. ;

  Tang Beixuan groaned and did what he was asked to and sat on the armchair, waiting for his sister's return. He's good impression about Qin Jiran slightly dwindling. Not yet married to his sister, but he was already a wife slave. Ah, just as he thought he finally met a person who could shield him from his sister's overbearing attitude.

  Tang Moyu and Li Meili arrived a little later than expected, thanks to the slight traffic they encountered on their way back to Peach Blossom Garden. With slippery roads due to the rain that afternoon, many motorists chose to drive slower to avoid accidents.

  "I hope we aren't too late." Tang Moyu said before giving Feng Tianyi a quick peck on his lips. She then shedded off her coat, her eyes looking at her younger brother, who refused to meet her gaze. ;

  "No, you aren't. I need ten more minutes before it is fully cooked." Feng Tianyi replied, aware of the sudden awkwardness that had suddenly filled the room once Tang Moyu and Li Meili arrived. ;

  The empress nodded then turned to face her brother. ;

  "Good. That's enough time for me to put some sense into my brother's head," she said cooly. "Beixuan, follow me outside. I need a word with you, please." Now that she was done dealing with Li Meili, it was only natural for her to talk to him next.

  Tang Beixuan looked at the devil as if he was asking for help, but he was totally ignored. Even Li Meili had ignored his pleas and went to find the little buns while she waited for dinner. Knowing that he couldn't escape the confrontation he would have with his sister, he released a sigh and followed his sister to the garden, where she was waiting for him. ;

  "Tell me what happened." Tang Moyu demanded.
