Chapter 177: Chapter 177 : Heaven And Hell Peak (2)

"It has been almost two months!" Lady Song wiped the non-existent tears from the tails of her eyes. "Two months, and no news at all! Oh, my son... My son, why must you worry your mother so? Do you not care about your mother anymore?"

Zhang Zhiyuan laughed nervously in an attempt to dilute the dramatic atmosphere that hung in the air.

"Crown Prince, apologies for the exaggeration. Fengxi, he... Ufff..."

Zhang Zhiyuan did not get to end his sentence because Lady Song rammed his back hard with the handle of her peacock fan. The lady gave him a warning look, which he interpreted as "Shut up now or sleep in the backyard tonight".

Zhang Zhiyuan was thereafter as quiet as a mouse. His wife was more than glad to steer the conversation to her intended goal.

"My son went to train at the dangerous Heaven and Hell Peak to prepare for the upcoming competition," Lady Song lamented.

"He is just a martial art crazed son of mine. Oh, what will I do if something happens to him? He is alone out there, I am so worried...!!!"

Xie Jianyu listened enough of Lady Song’s lamentation. If she continued, she might start singing funeral songs for his son.

"Rest assured, Lady Song. I will head to the Heaven and Hell Peak now. When I meet Zhang Fengxi, I will send him back home at once."

After Xie Jianyu left, Zhang Zhiyuan stared at his wife. Having taken off her fake sorrowful expression, she was back to being her usual self.

"Dear, what was that for?" Zhang Zhiyuan asked in disbelief. "Why did you ask the Crown Prince to go and fetch Fengxi?"

Feigning ignorance, Lady Song blinked at her husband cutely before she fanned herself with her peacock fan. "Did I? Oh, my. But I am sure that the Crown Prince did not take it that way."

"... He literally said that he was going to ask Zhang Fengxi to come back home."

"-If- he sees Fengxi," Lady Song added the small detail while winking at her husband mischievously.

"He is heading to the Heaven and Hell Peak to see him," Zhang Zhiyuan said in exasperation. "Dear, you..."

Lady Song let out her signature high-pitched laughter.

"Hohohoho~!!! Dear, this is why you should leave this kind of job to omegas. You alphas are simply useless in matters of romance."

"...."

Zhang Zhiyuan pressed both hands at the sides of his head and groaned.

"Dear, you... you manipulated the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Empire," he choked out in horror. "That... That was treason!"

Lady Song gasped.

"Zhang Zhiyuan! How could you speak that way of your own wife? Chengsu, my medicine... oh, I believe that I am about to faint..."

The palace mistress swooned to the side while pressing the back of her hand against her forehead, her eyes closed in distress.

"Palace Mistress, please be strong!" her practiced maids automatically said.

"Fine! I get it! Stop fainting!" Zhang Zhiyuan pulled at Lady Song’s hand and dragged her into his arms. Lady Song’s eyes flew open. As soon as she landed in her husband’s embrace, she gave him a smack on the face with her peacock fan.

"Aiya, in broad daylight! Zhang Zhiyuan, you should be ashamed of yourself!"

"...." Zhang Fengxi let his wife go.

He was never going to win against her in a verbal argument.

"At least talk to me first before doing this kind of thing," he begged. "You are going to make a fool out of me."

"Oh, don’t bother with these trivial things," Lady Song said with a sweet smile. "I will do everything and you just need to wait for the results."

Zhang Zhiyuan sighed.

"Dear, despite Fengxi’s obsession with the Crown Prince, we really should not meddle in the children’s business. It’s... It’s not appropriate."

"What is not appropriate?" Lady Song glared at her husband. "An alpha and an omega settling together to build a family, is that not the most beautiful picture that everyone paints in their mind???"

Zhang Zhiyuan quickly took his wife’s hand and rubbed her hand to placate her.

"Aiyah... That is not what I meant at all. Of course, Fengxi should settle down with an omega, but must it be the Crown Prince? I am sure that we can find another omega for him."

Lady Song clicked with her tongue in annoyance.

"Zhang Zhiyuan, now you listen to me here. A lot of irresponsible, young alphas go and sleep with omegas of unknown backgrounds, siring illegitimate children who bring shame to the family.

What is wrong with selecting the Crown Prince?"

"My lady, don’t pretend that you do not know what I am talking about. The Crown Prince is like the most beautiful flower at the peak. He is far above Fengxi’s level. Heck, anyone’s level," Zhang Zhiyuan discovered with astonishment. After the Crown Prince refused to marry for the sake of putting his biological child on the throne, who dared to force him into taking a husband?

Instead of regaining sense, Lady Song’s lips were laced with a smug smile instead.

"My son needs to be beaten up into shape, but the Crown Prince clearly is in love with him. Why would I not help my own son?"

"...."

Zhang Zhiyuan gaped at his wife.

"Huh? The... The Crown Prince is in love with our Fengxi?"

That earned him another smack of the peacock fan.

"Aiyah. How many more Fengxis do you know?"

"Dear, maybe you are mistaken. The Crown Prince is generally an excellent person with a superb upbringing. Everything he did for Fengxi was done out of obligation. He would have done every other person the same favor."

Lady Song shook her head persistently.

"No, no, no. You hear me out, Zhang Zhiyuan. If Fengxi does not come back today while holding the Crown Prince in his arms, I shall give him fifty beatings for his stupidity!"

"..."

Zhang Zhiyuan was speechless. Obviously, it was Lady Song who was too confident with herself, so why must their son bear the consequences of her failure?
