Ouyang Yunduo's expression changed, and she looked at Ouyang Jian in shock. "Brother, you're my own brother, why do you always side with them?"
Ouyang Jian's face was expressionless. "If it weren't for them, your sister-in-law and niece would be dead now. Of course, I side with them."
"You!" Ouyang Yunduo trembled with anger.
"Brother! You have no conscience! We grew up together, that woman has only known you for a few years, and you..."
"Affection isn't measured by time. The moment I decided to be with Sangsang, it was determined that my future life would be most intimate with Sangsang. Moreover, Sangsang and I have our own flesh and blood. Duo'er, by seniority, you still have to call Sangsang sister-in-law. Speaking of that woman all the time, have you lost your manners?" Ouyang Yunduo was interrupted by Ouyang Jian before she could finish. Ouyang Jian said coldly.
After Ouyang Jian finished speaking, seeing no sign of repentance in Ouyang Yunduo's eyes, he added, "If I reason with you now, you definitely won't listen. Since that's the case, you'll return to Tianxing for a period of confinement. When you come to your senses, I'll let you out!"
With this sentence, Ouyang Jian was directly giving an order.
Ouyang Yunduo's eyes widened, and she looked at her own brother in disbelief. However, Ouyang Jian didn't want to hear her explanations anymore and turned to leave.
As the Lord of Tianxing, he also had his own authoritative side. When things were normal, he didn't like to put on a stern face for everyone, but if someone touched his bottom line or truly angered him, he was very strict.
Upon leaving the room, Ouyang Jian ordered his subordinates to escort the eldest young lady back to Tianxing. Without his permission, Ouyang Yunduo was not allowed to leave Tianxing without authorization.

The study.
After Lu Yang and Lu Wanqing's intimate moments ended, the man could no longer hold back. Embracing Lu Wanqing, he said, "Qingqing, let's get married, okay?"
He truly wanted to marry her and be with her openly.
"Okay," Lu Wanqing agreed with a smile.
They were already together, so marriage was only a matter of time.
Lu Yang let out a soft laugh from his throat. He lowered his head and kissed his girl, saying, "Wait for me for a few days. I'll make arrangements."
Lu Wanqing looked into Lu Yang's eyes and smiled, "Okay."
Lu Yang kept his word. In the following days, the empire's capital began a massive cleaning campaign. Various cleaning robots washed all the streets and the trees lining them until they were spotless.
Even the sky above the capital was sprayed with a large amount of air freshener. All citizens living in the capital could feel the crispness of the air, which was very refreshing.
Not only that, after the entire city was cleaned, a large wave of new robots appeared. They carried various large red lanterns and began hanging them on the trees lining the streets. In just a few days, the entire city exuded a festive and lively atmosphere.
Eldest brother Lu Ming and second brother Lu Ze were also very happy. These days, they weren't busy with their studies/careers. They put down their work and went to the streets, diligently inspecting the robots' work. For any arrangements that felt less than ideal, they would personally issue commands to the robots to adjust them.
Harvey, Cui Cui, and Little Ya Ya, and even Xavier were coerced by their son to come. Also present were Ouyang Jian and his wife Sangsang. Everyone participated in the wedding preparations.
Cui Cui absolutely loved Daddy Emperor and Mommy. Knowing that her Daddy and Mommy were getting married, she was extremely happy. Coupled with her good taste, she even took the initiative to request Lu Wanqing and Lu Yang to decorate the wedding room for her parents.
Lu Wanqing and Lu Yang were a little surprised, but Cui Cui was their biological daughter, so they were naturally delighted. Thus, they agreed to Cui Cui's request.
After receiving her parents' permission, Cui Cui was overjoyed. She immediately began researching and then devoted herself to decorating her parents' wedding room.
Harvey was a bit mischievous and boisterous. Whether it was the decorations inside the palace or outside, he had to check everywhere. If he saw anything unreasonable, he wouldn't look for robots; he would fly up himself in his mecha and personally adjust those things.
Ya Ya, being so small, would always have bright, grape-like eyes whenever she saw her brother Harvey piloting a mecha. She was incredibly adoring and would happily direct Harvey from the ground.
Harvey reveled in his sister Ya Ya's admiration. Even though he had shown off countless times in front of his sister, every time he brought out his mecha, he couldn't help but deliberately show off in front of Ya Ya.
Federation, Lan Lan, Xiao Yi, and Shu Shu. When they learned that Mommy was going to marry Daddy Emperor, they were all overjoyed. At the same time, they were secretly anxious because their brother Harvey and sister Cui Cui were happily helping Mommy and Daddy Emperor decorate for the wedding, but they were unable to help because they were in the Federation.
Shu Shu anxiously wanted to participate in decorating Mommy's wedding room. However, she quickly thought of a solution. She was now good friends with Cui Cui. With a few simple words of persuasion, Cui Cui was willing to video call her about the wedding room situation. This way, if she saw anything that wasn't quite right, she would suggest it to her sister Cui Cui. If Cui Cui found the suggestions suitable, she would implement them.
This method was a bit indirect, but Shu Shu found a sense of involvement and finally became much happier.
In the end, only Little Mu Lan and Little Zhong Li Yi were anxiously stomping their feet, with no solution. Harvey was a bit mischievous. Not only did he help everywhere on his own, but he also liked to call his brothers Mu Lan and Xiao Yi, and then brag to them.
Sometimes, through communication, Lan Lan and Xiao Yi would also offer some of their opinions. However, Harvey stubbornly refused to use their suggestions. Instead, he would go in other directions. Lan Lan and Xiao Yi were both infuriated by this mischievous brother.
Fortunately, Lan Lan and Xiao Yi had grown up and were not three-year-old children. Otherwise, with Harvey being so naughty, they would have gone to Mommy to complain!
A month later, the entire city was decorated, and Lu Wanqing and Lu Yang's wedding was about to take place.
The day before the wedding, Lan Lan, Xiao Yi, and Shu Shu, led by their respective fathers, arrived at the Empire from the Federation.
Upon seeing her mother, Shu Shu immediately ran over and hugged her tightly, extremely happy. "Mommy, congratulations on your happy new marriage with Daddy Emperor! May you be forever happy!"
Lan Lan and Xiao Yi were boys and had grown up. They didn't hug Mommy as readily as they did when they were younger, but their eyes were bright, and they happily looked at Mommy and Daddy Emperor.
"Daddy Emperor, you must treat my Mommy well forever and ever~" Lan Lan walked up to Lu Yang and said earnestly.
"Okay," Lu Yang replied seriously.
Zhong Li Yi was also very solemn. "Daddy Emperor, you're not allowed to bully Mommy. If Mommy is unhappy, we will definitely come to take Mommy away!"
Lu Wanqing, who was holding Shu Shu, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard Little Yi's words.
Lu Ming and Lu Ze stood by, and hearing the words of these two children, they also couldn't help but smile.
