"Granny Chen said to let Amu come and coax my sister properly."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhizhi felt even more guilty.

“The old woman was truly sincere when she said that.”

Her voice and laughter were exceptionally gentle.

“Our little Amu? He’s changed quite a bit these past two days.”

"My sister might not be able to come back for a few more days. If you miss her, you can talk to Granny, understand?"

This nanny had taken care of the original owner as she grew up, so she could be considered someone you could rely on.

Moreover, Zhou Zhizhi has received a lot of care from her since she arrived, and she has long treated her like family.

Amu was somewhat worried, but he still nodded.

"If there's anything you need, sister, just go ahead and do it. Amu will eat well and wait for you at home."

"Sister, you must eat on time, get plenty of rest, and be careful."

Children who have seen the harsh realities of society often lose faith in the existence of anything beautiful in the world.

When Zhou Zhizhi heard this, she felt extremely sorry for Amu and patted his little head with one hand.

“Our Amu is such a good younger brother to his older sister.”

The second prince, who was in the prince's mansion, became even angrier when he turned around and saw that the person had not followed.

"You've really got some nerve. Now that you've gone back, you don't even respect me anymore, and you didn't even say a word?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the teacup on the table next to him had fallen to the ground.

Upon seeing this, they quickly came over and cleaned it up.

Ru Feng explained calmly, "If the Grand Preceptor insists on leaving, we subordinates cannot stop him."

"Or, how about we go and bring the Imperial Advisor back right now during summer vacation?"

His meaning was very clear.

Zhou Zhizhi wanted to leave on her own, and they had no other choice.

He's an official, after all.

No matter what, it has nothing to do with them.

It's really hard to say who drove him away.

Xiao Xiyou nodded slightly after listening.

Having grown up with Ru Feng since childhood, they naturally speak their minds freely without needing to worry about anything else.

"Never mind, she hasn't been back to the General's Mansion for a long time, let her go and see her."

"We'll be back sooner or later anyway, so why bother with those things?"

I just felt a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Xiyou seemed to remember something, and stared straight at Ru Feng.

Ru Feng was stung again, which was slightly embarrassing.

"Is there something you need, Your Highness?"

After remaining silent for a while, Xiao Xiyou finally spoke slowly.

"Between the First Prince and me, who do you think is superior?"

Ru Feng thought someone else was more suitable to be the emperor.

After a moment of silence, he spoke: "Your Highness is superior."

"The eldest prince is simple-minded and is certainly not the kind of person who can control an organization that governs the world."

After listening, Xiao Xiyou waved his hand impatiently.

"That's not what I meant. In terms of personality and appearance, who is more suitable to be a husband?"

Ru Feng: "..."

He was a little unsure what to say.

It was indeed quite awkward.

"Your Highness..."

He shouted, trying to bring the man to his senses.

But now Xiao Xiyou has long been blinded by jealousy.

He wanted to see if it was really that difficult to choose.

"Tell me what you're saying. Even if you were on the Crown Prince's side, I would never hold it against you."

When Ru Feng heard this, he still sighed helplessly.

"The prince's appearance is one of the best in the capital. Countless young ladies from noble families would love to be with him but could not."

"Furthermore, regarding thoughts and temperament, the prince is indeed a bit extreme in his actions, and his temper is not as good as that of the eldest prince."

"But my subordinates believe that Your Highness is the most suitable person in the world to be an emperor."

Like the wind, and then he couldn't hear a word he was told.

However, I did listen to the first few sentences.

It seems that things really did turn out just as he predicted.

"In that case, go and rest well. Don't eat for the next two days. Get some exercise and clear your head of all that confusion."

Xiao Xiyou was still angry. Ru Feng wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

I haven't even become emperor yet, but I already have the feeling that serving a ruler is like walking on thin ice.

Xiao Xiyou looked at Ru Feng and was about to walk out, but in the end he called him back.

"I just said nothing happened, so you may go and eat and drink as you please."

Ru Feng had no idea what was wrong with his lord.

But he still nodded in the end.

This matter has nothing to do with me.

He nodded and then went straight out.

Xiao Xiyou kept pondering this matter, wondering if he was really that unreasonable.

He tormented himself all night but still couldn't figure it out. One of his advantages was that he had long ago developed the good habit of not thinking about it if he couldn't figure it out.

After Zhou Zhizhi finished attending the morning court session, the emperor still hadn't appeared. This time, the empress stepped forward to act as regent.

It is indeed more reliable now.

Xiao Xiyou summarized the progress of the past few days, including the stone incident some time ago that burned down many people's houses.

But it seemed as if the Empress was deliberately trying to tie the two of them together.

The matter was entrusted to the Second Prince, but Zhou Zhizhi became his deputy.

Zhou Zhizhi had no intention of continuing to have any major involvement with the unreasonable Second Prince.

If we save him, then we only need to step in when the Second Prince needs our help; we don't want to get involved in anything else.

She just wanted to make a good amount of money, finish the task quickly, and leave, but she never expected that the people who didn't want to get together would end up together.

When Xiao Xiyou heard the Empress's words, he seemed to glance indifferently at Zhou Zhizhi, who was standing not far behind.

The snow season is just around the corner, and if the repairs aren't done properly, the people will likely have a terrible winter.

Many will likely freeze to death, so they must act quickly.

Zhou Zhizhi was unwilling to do this kind of thing.

Afraid that the person would give her a cold shoulder, she still approached anyway.

"Your Highness, shall we discuss this properly?"

Zhou Zhizhi only wanted to fight for the welfare of those people.

Only after all these issues are properly resolved can they have hope of continuing their lives.

When Xiao Xiyou heard this, he snorted coldly, showing great disdain.
