Yan Zhuo was extremely patient, spoke softly and gently, and narrated the story in a leisurely manner.

The story is vividly told about how Nanny Jiang faked her own death and escaped to Xinghua Village, how she fabricated rumors about Jiang Ying, and how the Jiang clan members who went to investigate left with high hopes and returned disappointed.

Jiang Ying looked very dumbfounded after hearing this. "So, I can't return to my roots?"

"That's not the case. Madam Jiang arranged for someone to actively dispel the rumors and even personally escorted Nanny Jiang to the Ministry of Justice. Your Swallow's Homecoming Ceremony in five days will not be affected."

The Dog Prince suddenly became easy to talk to and smiled, which made Jiang Ying very suspicious.

What triggered this sudden change in personality?

As Jiang Ying looked suspicious and strange, a sachet appeared in Yan Zhuo's hand. It was plain and the texture didn't look very good. Jiang Ying's gaze was briefly attracted by it, but quickly shifted away.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the corners of the Dog Prince's mouth were slightly raised before he spoke.

"Why don't you rebuke me for doing things behind my back?"

He meant to send people to keep an eye on the Jiang Mansion. Any unusual movement related to her would definitely not escape his eyes.

Jiang Ying was as steady as an old dog. "Isn't this always the prince's style? What's so strange about it?"

A villain is suspicious and restless, while a gentleman responds to all changes with constancy.

Jiang Ying suddenly felt high-end.

Yan Zhuo, "..."

She actually got so cocky!

Ever since she gave birth to the child, the little village girl has changed every day, and now he can hardly understand her.

Yan Zhuo felt tingling, which was rare.

It’s hard to say it out loud, but the only way at this time is to find someone to provoke together.

He looked at Jiang Ying with a steady smile, his dark eyes. "As for the Lian family, they truly treat you like their own granddaughter. Jiang Yuanyi, Jiang Yuanchen, and Jiang Yuanshang are also very protective of you. From what I've observed recently, apart from the Luo family, everyone else in the Duke's Mansion is a good person, just like how I treat you."

Jiang Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I admit what you said before, but as for the last sentence, Your Highness, please don't forget to flatter yourself."

How was he good to her?

Is it better to be ordered to be a concubine? Is it better to shout and scream? Or is it better to doubt and question?

I don’t know where the Dog Prince gets the confidence to say such things.

"If I wasn't worried about you, afraid that you would be blinded by your emotions, why would I dispatch a special team to keep an eye on the Duke's Mansion due to the shortage of manpower?" Seeing her ungrateful look, Yan Zhuoyi was so angry that he couldn't help but blurt out.

But when Jiang Ying opened her eyes wide and looked back at him, he hurriedly offered tea to cover up, but ended up drinking the tea in front of him...

Seeing this, Jiang Ying hesitated for a moment, then stood up naturally and took the teapot to add tea to him.

The woman's faint body fragrance emanated as she moved.

As the saying goes, "After dusk, drinking wine by the eastern fence, there is a faint fragrance filling the sleeves." Yan Zhuo seemed to see the scene of her sitting lazily on the windowsill in her spare time, tasting the wine while enjoying the scenery in the courtyard.

The fragrance is light and airy, just like her.

It makes people even more confused and unable to understand.

But it's strange and makes people miss it.

Jiang Ying finished pouring the tea and lowered her head, just as she was about to see Yan Zhuo staring at her with a slightly dazed look...

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly sat back in his seat, speaking in a stiff tone:

"Look at what the prince said. If someone didn't know, they'd think he really liked me. But in reality, it's all for the sake of the children, right? Furthermore, the Duke's Mansion has great achievements and prestige, so he should have a few more eyes on it. Add to that the large family of orphans and widows, and it's only natural for the prince to be wary and at the same time take extra care of them."

Yan Zhuo, "..."

She finished her words, but none of them hit the point.

He was so angry that he drank the full cup of tea in a flash, and then pushed the cup in front of Jiang Ying, "Fill it up again."

Jiang Ying gritted her teeth secretly, wanting to scold him for being childish, but she swallowed it back and resigned herself to her fate by refilling the cup. "Yes, this cup of tea is a token of my gratitude for your extraordinary concern, Your Highness."

Sarcastic.

Yan Zhuo choked as he took a sip.

Jiang Ying was completely oblivious, his thoughts racing. "Your Highness specifically mentioned Nanny Jiang. Could it be that he didn't just want to tell me that she was taken to the Ministry of Justice?"

When Yan Zhuo mentioned Nanny Jiang just now, there was obviously something else behind his words.

I don’t know what evidence he has on us again?

Jiang Ying thought a little bitterly.

It was a pity that after she asked the question, Yan Zhuo deliberately ignored her and took small sips of tea as if he was sipping tea, as if he would not reveal anything unless she said a few nice words.

This made Jiang Ying, who was full of curiosity, feel like he was being scratched by a cat.

For a long while, until she had forced herself to suppress her discomfort and remained silent, and her emotions had calmed down, Yan Zhuo spoke in a sly tone, "I did discover some strange things, that's right."

"Do you want to hear it?"

“…”

"I dare say that Lian Shi probably doesn't know about this, or even if she does, she won't tell you."

Curiosity killed the cat. Jiang Ying couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"She's just a servant. She was able to successfully exchange the child because of the right time, right place, and right people. But such good luck doesn't always happen. I don't believe it! She's just a nanny. How can Grandmother not deal with her?"

Besides, hasn’t it been sent to the Ministry of Justice? How could she have the chance to do anything bad?

Jiang Ying was convinced that Yan Zhuo was deceiving her. This man was very sinister and must be planning something bad.

Thinking of this, she felt the urge to see the guest off.

In the middle of the night, a man and a woman were alone in a room...

The main thing is that what should be said and what should not be said have been made very clear.

If he still insisted on marrying her, whether as a wife or a concubine, she would "marry" him if she really couldn't resist.
