Su Peisheng understood immediately and said, "Master, should we investigate the person who was talking in the pavilion just now?"

Yinzhen paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need."

Su Peisheng: Could I have guessed wrong?

"It was your fault for speaking out of turn, please forgive me, Master."

...

Tong Cheng'er left quietly, and no one noticed anything when she returned. She went through the process again, and it was almost afternoon before she returned to the mansion in a carriage with Shumulu.

On the way back to the manor, Madam Shumulu had already heard about Tong Cheng'er's performance that day and couldn't help but sigh, "You're quite good at avoiding trouble, what can we do with this kind of temperament!"

Tong Cheng'er was puzzled by this. She thought she was fine. Although she couldn't be described as having a beauty that could captivate everyone, she was still quite charming and cute. She was a bit lazy on weekdays, but she didn't seem to be confused when it came to important matters. So how could her mother see her as a girl who couldn't get married?

"Mother~" Tong Cheng'er said coquettishly.

Hearing her soft voice, Shumulu couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh, so she decided to let it go.

This personality has remained unchanged for many years, which suggests it was something I was born with. I rarely cried when I was a child, which I thought was because I was well-behaved and obedient. Now it seems I was just too lazy to cry.

well……

After Yinzhen's mood improved considerably, he no longer got lost on the winding path. He hadn't walked far from the garden when he ran into the eunuch serving the Crown Prince.

"This servant greets the Fourth Prince. May the Fourth Prince be well."

"Get up, where is my second brother, the Crown Prince!"

"Replying to Fourth Prince, His Majesty is waiting for you!"

Yinzhen asked him, "Have you finished dealing with the matter concerning my second brother, the Crown Prince?"

The reason for coming here today is that the Crown Prince wants to see the daughter of Shi Wenbing from the Guarjia clan. He didn't say it directly, but He Zhuer naturally understood the situation.

"The master's business is done."

Yinzhen stepped into the room and respectfully greeted, "Second Brother Crown Prince."

"Where did you go? How come you disappeared in the blink of an eye?" The Crown Prince's tone was casual.

Yinzhen looked at Haishan, who was fawning over him, and said, "This is my first time visiting my uncle's residence. I'm not very familiar with it. I went to relieve myself and took a longer route on the way back. I'm sorry to have kept my second brother, the Crown Prince, waiting."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince immediately understood what was going on. He then gave Hai Shan a cold look, which made Hai Shan shiver and feel a chill.

By all accounts, Hai Shan was his cousin, but the royal family had many offspring, and he had so many cousins ​​that he couldn't even count them all. Who was Hai Shan to dare to disrespect his own brother?

Yinzhen was his younger brother, whom he had watched grow up. Now, he was being looked down upon by the son of a prince. Wasn't this a disregard for the dignity of the royal family?

The crown prince didn't say anything, but he made a mental note of it.

Hai Shan belatedly realized something and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
