Regardless of whether the clothes were dirty or not, Dugu Yu changed into a full set.

After the morning court session, Dugu Yu met Lin Xiafeng who was almost hit by someone else's carriage on his way out of the palace.

He was quick to pull Lin Xiafeng into his arms, preventing her from being injured.

In order to thank Dugu Yu for saving his life, Lin Xiafeng decided to go to Wangjiang Tower to treat him to breakfast.

Dugu Yu followed without any psychological barriers. He didn't think of Qin Qingyao the whole time, nor did he think of the family rules she set, nor did he think of Qin Qingyao's special reminder when he got up in the morning that he had to go back home today.

Qin Qingyao sat under the pavilion from eight to ten o'clock, and then stood up as if nothing had happened.

"Sir, please ask the kitchen to heat up breakfast. I'm hungry."

Dugu Yu would not come back, but she had to go back to her parents' home, and she couldn't let her family see that she was hungry.

The wound on my hand was almost healed. I applied ointment again and removed the gauze. It didn't look so scary anymore.

She said she was afraid that others would see the wound, which was not good. In fact, she was afraid that the Qin family would see it and misunderstand Dugu Yu, but Dugu Yu obviously did not expect this.

Qin Qingyao was very clear that there was something going on with Dugu Yu today.

He met Lin Xiafeng on the way out of the palace, and then Lin Xiafeng invited him to dinner at Wangjiang Tower. Of course, Dugu Yu paid for the meal.

Afterwards, Lin Xiafeng would say in a panicked and apologetic manner, "Ah, isn't today the day when the princess returns home after three days of marriage? Your Highness, you..."

After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her hands, looking so guilty that she wanted to wipe her neck and apologize, "I'm sorry, I forgot about her... I really didn't mean to..."

How did Dugu Yu answer her? He said, "It's okay. She is not self-disciplined. It's not your fault!"

But Dugu Yu! Didn't I go through so much trouble to change the plot for you? Didn't I elope with someone, cheat on you, or be unfaithful to you?

So, when you had dinner with Lin Xiafeng today, what did you talk about after dinner? If she could kindly remind you what day it was, would you rush over?

If you show up at Qin's house before lunch, I will forgive you!

Qin Qingyao was really overthinking it. She had messed up the plot, and others certainly wouldn't follow the original script. So, what Dugu Yu talked about with Lin Xiafeng today was really beyond her imagination.

Not only did Lin Xiafeng not kindly remind Dugu Yu what day it was, she also chose to eat in a small compartment in the lobby downstairs instead of the private room upstairs.

Because she is very considerate. Dugu Yu is a married man now, and it is not appropriate for him to have dinner with her in a private room. It would be bad if someone saw him and misunderstood him.

The two of them are good friends. They have nothing to fear from their own shadows, so they are naturally not afraid of eating at the same table in the lobby downstairs!

Dugu Yu felt that Lin Xiafeng was particularly well-educated, upright, and considerate, and was a hundred blocks away from that psychopath Qin Qingyao!

But despite this, he did not enjoy the breakfast. Even if he did not go home, his mood for eating was ruined by Qin Qingyao.

In the small cubicle, he listened carefully to every word with his face as dark as ink, and heard what the people in the lobby outside said about his and Qin Qingyao's daily love life.

After finishing their meal, the two went out for a walk, which made Dugu Yu realize that even the old woman sitting at the door sewing shoe soles and the blind fortune teller at the bridge knew about those fictitious and inexplicable things.

Lin Xiafeng covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled sincerely, "I really didn't expect this. I was worried that you would be unhappy, but now that I see you and the princess are so loving, I feel relieved!"

Even with his toes, Dugu Yu knew that those messy rumors were spread by Qin Qingyao himself.

That shameless woman has absolutely no bottom line. She even makes up rumors about her own sex life!

As the saying goes, "The higher the virtue, the higher the evil." As the heroine, Lin Xiafeng was shrouded in the aura of justice. Therefore, within the time of breakfast, she had refuted all of Qin Qingyao's shameless rumors, leaving nothing behind.

As glorious as the wedding was three days ago, Princess Wu Ling is as ridiculous today.

Because on the day she returned home, King Wu Ling not only did not go home to accompany her, but also had dinner and shopping with Miss Lin and sent her home.

So he didn't need to explain a single word. Even a blind person could tell that his being conquered by the princess and their love for each other were all fake.

After Qin Qingyao had her meal alone, she did not take any of the gifts she had prepared with her. She only took two maids, Baizhi and Baiji. She did not even take the palace's carriage.

Because it was too big and too conspicuous, she couldn't afford to lose face.

The three of them were sitting in an inconspicuous little carriage. Bai Zhi and Bai Ji were extremely worried when they saw Qin Qingyao's face without a smile on its face.

"Miss, maybe the prince has something serious to do!"

Qin Qingyao looked at Bai Zhi helplessly, "Sister, you are simply stabbing me in the chest. His real job is to accompany Lin Xiafeng!"

"Don't look so sad, both of you. Be cheerful. There's nothing to be sad about. Don't be like this!"

"It's you, young lady, who's crying!"

"I'm brewing emotions!"

You are the master, and whatever you say is right, but if you are really in a good mood, do you still need to prepare?

The Qin family also heard how much Dugu Yu loved Qin Qingyao, so today's homecoming banquet was prepared particularly grandly. Even Qin Qingyao's sister and brother-in-law came back to see their new brother-in-law.

A group of people looked at the time and went to the door to welcome them, but they were greeted by an ordinary little carriage.

"Dad, Mom, brothers, sisters, and brothers-in-law, are you all standing at the door waiting for me? That's so embarrassing!"

Qin Yuelin was furious when he saw his younger sister getting off the broken carriage alone. "Where's the prince?"

"The prince stayed at home with me all day yesterday and was delayed for some work, so after the court session today, he was dragged away by his colleagues!"

Minister Qin and Qin Yuefeng were furious. They were also Dugu Yu's colleagues, so why didn't anyone pull him back when they left the court together?

Qin Qingyao immediately understood the expressions of her father and eldest brother, and said with a wry smile, "Haha, she was dragged away on her way home after leaving the palace!"

Qin Qingyao only hoped that Dugu Yu was really with many people, which would help her to cover up the lie, instead of staying alone with Lin Xiafeng and trampling on her dignity and the face of the Qin family.

"Come in quickly, what are you all doing standing at the door?"

"Mom and Dad, Yao'er has prepared an unexpected gift for you today!"

So this is why you return empty-handed?

In order to thank her parents for raising her and her family for their love and care, Qin Qingyao decided to personally prepare a return banquet to honor them.

The two sisters couldn't stand it anymore, so they came to the kitchen to help, but how could they, two rich girls, cook?

So I just watched Qin Qingyao prepare a large table of dishes like a magic trick.

The appearance was average and the dishes were very homely, but she was indeed busy all morning cooking for the whole family by herself.

Mrs. Qin was so upset that she almost fainted. When had her precious daughter ever been to the kitchen? When had she ever known what undissolved salt looked like?

But she had only been married to the palace for three days, so how could she cook such a large table of dishes?

Was she locked in the kitchen for those three days?

Although it is natural for a wife to serve her husband after marrying into the family, the palace is so big and there are so many servants. Is it really her turn to cook for herself?

"Why are you all looking at me? Don't you believe me? Even though it might not taste very good, I've only just started learning. I haven't made it for the prince yet, so I'll give you a taste first."

Qin Qingyao was very happy the whole day. She never stopped laughing or making people laugh when she came to the Qin family. Even when Dugu Yu was not there, she still drank with her father and brothers and sisters-in-law at the table. She did everything by herself, both men's and women's affairs.

She looked so happy that the Qin family couldn't even say a word to comfort her.

She waited until dark, but Dugu Yu didn't come and didn't have dinner at Qin's house. She said she had to go back to have dinner with her husband.

She didn't want to ride in the Qin family's carriage when she went out because it was too eye-catching. People could say she was sensitive or a coward, but she didn't want the whole world to know that she had lost the battle.

But if you think about it carefully, she won completely and beautifully at the wedding, so what if she lost this battle?

At most it was a tie with the plot!

She only allowed herself to be sad along the way, and when she returned to the palace, she would pretend that nothing had happened and live a good life with Dugu Yu!

Before coming to this world, she knew the plot and what she would face, right?

After so much difficulty in becoming Dugu Yu's wife, she will not bow her head to such a small setback!

Although Dugu Yu had no conscience, the servants in the palace really liked Qin Qingyao. When the doorman saw the princess coming back, he came to greet her from afar, all smiling and trying to make her happy.

Although it was only three days, he would praise the chef for his delicious cooking, the gardener for his good flower care, the embroiderer for her embroidered flowers that looked like real ones, the housekeeper for his great ability in managing the palace well, the maid for her beautiful hair combing, and the servants for sweeping the floor cleanly.

In short, as long as others make efforts, she will give sincere affirmation and never hesitate to praise them.

So these days, the entire palace was filled with happy smiles.

But all these smiling faces turned into fear after the princess returned home alone today.

Their prince has gone too far, really, really gone too far!

He actually chose this moment to humiliate the princess. So, was he just being nice to her in the palace? How could he do that?

The princess was not at home today and no one went to the garden to pick flowers, so the hibiscus on the dining table had wilted and no one replaced it. Dugu Yu looked at it while eating alone, which really affected his appetite.

"Throw away that flower!"

"yes!"

The flowers are gone, leaving only an empty jade bottle there, as if waiting to capture a monster, which is even more distressing.

Dugu Yu didn't eat many bites of dinner before returning to his study.
