Liu Zhuling turned around upon hearing the voice and saw Lord Song quickly standing up and walking over.

"Grandpa, Lingling misses you so much."

"I miss His Highness too. I want to have some fun with him later. It's not convenient for His Highness to stay here.

"Isn't it just studying? I won't disturb you. I'll just sit still."

Lord Song's mouth twitched. Seeing that the Third Princess was pretending to be well-behaved, he finally said nothing.

During the study session, Liu Zhuling did not make any noise. She just sat next to him and pretended to read a copy of "Rules for Women", her eyes occasionally falling on Tu Yufan.

Liu Zhuling was also thinking about the situation. His mother had said that Tu Yufan's status was not high. If he told his father directly, it might make his father dissatisfied with him. His father would be more likely to accept him after he passed the imperial examination.

She is a princess anyway, so no matter who she marries, she will be marrying down from her parents' side, so naturally she will marry someone she likes.

However, she heard that Tu Yufan was idle and hung out with his peers all day, which might make it easy for him to neglect his studies, so she still had to keep a close eye on him.

Liu Zhuling thought to himself that if he dared to despise the princess again, since she had done so much for him, he would definitely find someone to beat her up. If he couldn't take the soft blow, he would take the hard blow.

Tu Yufan didn't know that Liu Zhuling was secretly looking for someone to beat him up, but he wasn't ungrateful, and during breaks, he would listen to Liu Zhuling's mumbling and even seriously agree with a few of her words.

Liu Zhuling felt the change in Tu Yufan's attitude, and her mood improved a lot. Her eyes curved into a crescent shape, and Lord Song seemed to be hesitant to speak for several times.

Tu Yufan lived in dire straits after his birth. Liu Zhuling came to accompany him from time to time to prevent him from going astray.

The Song residence was strictly managed, and the third princess came here secretly without anyone noticing. Tu Yufan finally understood why the royal family was said to be the most unreasonable place. Imperial Concubine Song actually allowed her daughter to meet a man outside of her family.

He didn't know that Concubine Song had already investigated Tu Yufan thoroughly before this and found that Tu Yufan was just a little lazy, but did not have many other major bad habits. The fact that he got the first place in the college examination showed that he was not a fool, and he especially did not care about women. Compared with those young men who lingered in the brothels, he had a lot of extra points.

Just as Liu Zhuling said, no matter who the princess married, she would be marrying down, unless she went to marry a foreign prince, which her daughter absolutely could not do, so Tu Yufan was a reluctant choice.

In fact, the main reason was that her daughter was too unreasonable. She kept complaining all day long, saying that she only liked Tu Yufan, and Concubine Song was really helpless.

…

One year later, the Huayang Marquis Mansion held a birthday banquet. Tu Yufan knew that in the original plot, Princess Yuexue was the one who drugged the male protagonist at this banquet, but he would not be dragged into it this time. They could do whatever they wanted.

Because the heroine has not yet married the hero, in order to avoid more gossip, the heroine did not attend the party.

“Brother Qian, Yuexue was wrong before. I shouldn’t have treated an innocent woman like that. Considering we have known each other for many years, I hope you can forgive me.” Princess Yuexue reached out to pour wine for the hero. The powder between her fingers quietly fell into the mouth of the wine pot. Her lowered eyes flashed with madness.

"I'll give you a toast."

Hua Jiqian didn't believe Princess Yuexue at all. He turned his eyes and signaled his men. They shot a stone at the door on her right, and the cracked wall fell off.

Many people, including Princess Yuexue, were briefly attracted by the sight. Tu Yufan also followed the crowd and turned to take a look.

Tu Yufan glanced at the protagonist's men and saw that they quickly replaced the wine jug on his table.

...I don't think so.
