Looking at her like this, Tong Cheng'er wondered if she really had a headache, after all, she had a history of faking illness.

"Mother, why is your head throbbing again? Is it serious? Someone come quickly! Go and fetch the imperial physician!" Tong Cheng'er said anxiously.

Hearing her daughter-in-law's voice, Wu Yapin's headache worsened.

In the end, Consort Wuya naturally ended up resting in bed.

Because Consort Wuya needed to "rest quietly," Tong Cheng'er left Yonghe Palace earlier than expected.

On her way back, she ran into Yinzhen, who had come to pick her up.

When Tong Cheng'er saw him, she asked, "Why did you come here?"

Yinzhen: "Why didn't I come to pick you up when you entered the palace today?"

Besides, he was worried! He could also take the opportunity to go to the palace and talk to his father about the situation in Jiangnan. Although he had already briefly mentioned it on the day he arrived, he hadn't gone into enough detail.

After saying that, Yinzhen took Tong Cheng'er's hand.

The two held hands as they were leaving the palace. After walking for a while, they ran into the Third Princess Consort.

When the Third Prince's wife saw Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er, she smiled and joked with her pregnant belly, "Fourth Brother is really worried that Fourth Sister-in-law won't be able to find her way back to the manor!"

Tong Cheng'er: "Third sister-in-law, please don't tease me. I'm easily embarrassed."

The Third Prince Consort clicked her tongue twice. Yinzhen remained silent. He had no opinion on who the Little Prince Consort befriended, as long as they didn't have ill intentions towards her.

When they left the palace, the Third Princess Consort accompanied them. Along the way, the Third Princess Consort and Tong Cheng'er chatted and laughed, and in the end, the two even made an appointment to play mahjong.

Tong Cheng'er is fairly interested in mahjong; she doesn't nag when she's not playing, but she can also find some enjoyment in playing.

The reason she agreed so readily to the Third Prince's wife's request was mainly because she was afraid the Third Prince's wife would be bored; after all, the pregnant woman was the most important person.

They only parted ways with the Third Princess after leaving the palace.

It wasn't until she got into the carriage that Tong Cheng'er realized something was wrong.

"What's wrong? You were fine just now. Who upset you?"

It's only been a short while.

There was no one else in the carriage. With a somewhat aggrieved expression, Yinzhen said, "You've offended me."

Tong Cheng'er was baffled: "When did I offend you?"

"Think for yourself." Her tone was incredibly arrogant.

Tong Cheng'er couldn't figure it out. Even after the carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate, she still couldn't understand why he was angry.

"Did Father Emperor say something to you? But that doesn't make sense. Just tell me directly! What did I do to upset you?"

Yinzhen looked at Tong Cheng'er: "You really don't know why?"

Of course she didn't know why. If she had known, she would have said it long ago: this person is really getting more and more... pretentious.

Tong Cheng'er shook her head: "I really don't know."

Yinzhen thought for a moment, then said helplessly, "Forget it!"

If this continues, he will only become more unhappy.

How could the young lady be so confused!

Even he couldn't guess that he was jealous. He didn't mind the young wife being on good terms with the third wife, but there should be limits to how good terms should be!

He couldn't help but worry because although the Third Prince's wife had given up her obsession with the Third Prince, she was paying more and more attention to the Younger Prince's wife.

Tong Cheng'er never imagined that this man would be jealous of the Third Prince's wife; she even thought he shouldn't be jealous at all.

Yinzhen was unwilling to explain directly, leaving Tong Cheng'er completely confused. Fortunately, she wasn't one to pry, so since he said forget it, then forget it!

After returning home, Tong Cheng'er suddenly remembered something and said to Ru Xue, "Bring me the scarf I knitted."

Yinzhen, who was listening nearby, asked, "Have you finished knitting the scarf?"

Tong Cheng'er nodded with a smile: "It's just finished."

Ru Xue quickly brought over the scarf.

Tong Cheng'er took the scarf and looked at Yinzhen, saying, "Come and try it on."

Yinzhen walked closer to her, and Tong Cheng'er handed him the scarf. He said, "Cheng'er, help me put it on."

Tong Cheng'er looked at the scarf and then at him, and nodded, "Okay!" It's a gift for him, so it's perfectly fine to put it on him myself.

Yinzhen lowered his head slightly, and Tong Cheng'er wrapped a wool scarf around his neck. After arranging it for a few moments, she nodded and said, "All done."

Yinzhen touched the scarf with his hand and said, "It's so warm. It shouldn't be cold this winter."

Tong Cheng'er smiled and gave him a reproachful look: "You're exaggerating a bit too much. A scarf at most keeps your neck from getting cold. You're making it sound like a magic scarf."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen smiled and said, "If I say it won't be cold, then it won't be."

Tong Cheng'er didn't understand: "Say whatever you want! This scarf may not be as good as the embroiderer's work, but you can still use it."

Yinzhen shook his head: "The scarf you knitted is the best and warmest, not at all forced."

Tong Cheng'er didn't believe it: "When did you learn to be so glib?"

Yinzhen: "I'm serious."

Okay, he's serious.

Yinzhen touched the scarf and thought to himself, "This winter really won't be cold."

Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er lived a happy and harmonious life.

"Madam, someone from the Tong residence has arrived."

Tong Cheng'er: "Please come in."

The person who came from the Tong residence was Granny Fu, who served by Lady Shumulu's side. Granny Fu entered with a smile and greeted her, saying, "Greetings, Fourth Princess Consort. May the Fourth Princess Consort be well."

Tong Cheng'er said with a smile, "Granny Fu, you're too kind. Please get up."

"Xie Fujin".

"Ru Xue, please take a seat."

Ru Xue: "Yes, Madam."

After Granny Fu sat down, Tong Cheng'er asked, "Did Mother send you here, Granny?"

Granny Fu nodded: "It was the Princess Consort who sent me here."
