Lu Shu and Lu Qi reluctantly carried their things. Lu Qi couldn't hide his emotions at all, and grumbled, "Master, we finally got out of here, why are we coming back?"

"Not only did you come back, but you also moved your most beloved books and piano here. Are you really going to make this your home from now on?"

The two had been punished by Xiao Li with a stick before, especially Lu Qi who was hit in the mouth and lost two teeth. Now he did not feel resentment towards Xiao Li, but real hatred.

But it is so frustrating to have to follow the master back to live while hating him.

Lu Yanzhi did not answer Lu Qi's words, but he did not scold or stop him either. It was obvious that he was unwilling at the moment.

He had a detailed talk with his grandfather last night, and his grandfather told him that the solution to the problem still lies with the princess.

The princess was already deeply in love with him, and the more she targeted him now, the more it proved that she couldn't let him go.

The Lu family is a prominent family, but the princess is just a chess piece fostered by the Queen Mother and can be discarded at any time. If the dispute continues, the Lu family will be the one that suffers the most.

Divorce is not an option, and ignoring the matter is not an option either, so he has to come back.

He had to lower the princess's guard and make her think that he had changed his mind. If he could make the princess pregnant, everything would be solved.

The princess's love for him and the child are both leverage to control the princess.

Lu Yanzhi could feel the calculation in his grandfather's mind and eyes, but his grandfather kept silent.

However, he also had his own plan in mind. He really needed to control the princess and prevent her from hurting Xue Yin again.

He would make her pay for his ruined reputation, the pain of being beaten by her, and Xueyin's child.

Then Lu Yanzhi took the initiative to appear at Xiao Li's dining table.

Xiao Li raised his eyebrows and continued to drink his soup.

There was only Xiao Li's tableware on the table. Lu Yanzhi sat down, but no one served him any food.

In the end, Lu Shu quickly served Lu Yanzhi tableware.

Lu Yanzhi lowered his eyes with an indifferent expression and a very submissive attitude. He picked up the chopsticks and first picked up a piece of food for Xiao Li, and then started eating himself.

Xiao Li raised his eyelids. Is this considered... a gesture of goodwill?

The sun really rises in the west.

Xiao Li stared at Lu Yanzhi without any concealment, her eyes fixed on him, with an ambiguous smile on her face. Anyone who saw her would think that she liked Lu Yanzhi very much.

Xiao Li put down his bowl and finished his meal. Lu Yanzhi didn't eat much, but also put down his chopsticks. He didn't come here to eat at all.

She glanced at the plate next to her, but she didn't eat the dish he had prepared when he married Xiao Li.

"Princess, since you don't agree to a divorce, then let bygones be bygones. I will learn to treat you well from now on."

"Ha!" Xiao Lishai laughed, "That's an interesting thing to say."

If the original person heard this, wouldn’t he be moved to death?

"Is it okay if I hit you?"

Lu Yanzhi had a tolerant and generous look on his face: "It's all in the past."

Xiao Li asked again: "What if I beat you in the future?"

Lu Yanzhi: “…”

Look, it’s stuck, right?

"Hahahaha!" The hypocritical face didn't last for a quarter of an hour before it fell apart. Xiao Li laughed at him without any hesitation: "Don't make it hard on yourself, and don't make it hard on my eyes. You're more interesting when you look so noble and unyielding."

Lu Qi couldn't help but stepped forward and said angrily, "Young Master was beaten so badly by you, and now he is looking for you to reconcile with you without holding grudges. Don't go too far."

Before Xiao Li could even speak, Madam Qian stepped forward and sternly reprimanded him, "The master is speaking, how dare you, a servant, butt in?"

Xiao Li glanced at him emotionlessly, her long, slender white fingertips tapping the table lazily. "A mere attendant dared to yell at this princess. Is this the sincerity of the consort's reconciliation? Do you still think I'm the soft persimmon I was before?"

Lu Yanzhi clutched his sleeves and scolded in a low voice: "Lu Qi, don't be rude."

Xiao Li clapped his hands, and Yang Jun immediately stepped forward: "Princess, what are your instructions?"

Xiao Li pointed at Lu Qi and said, "Take him away and teach him a lesson."

Just as Lu Yanzhi was about to say something, Xiao Li's expression changed, and she became cold and ruthless: "This is the princess's residence. He dared to challenge me when he stepped into my territory. I didn't kill him because of my mercy. If you can't manage the people around you, I will help you."

Lu Yanzhi finally couldn't help but look directly at Xiao Li. Looking at those cold and ruthless eyes, the stone in his heart sank again and again.

He could not see any trace of past admiration and love in it. Although love turned into hate, he could not see hatred in Xiao Li's eyes, only endless coldness.

Was it really the right move for him to come back?

----

Xiao Li wanted to kill Lu Yanzhi, but Lu Yanzhi could not die in the princess's mansion.

Otherwise, the Lu family would not forgive her, and the emperor would not protect her.

She didn't care about the attitudes of these ancients, but she couldn't become a rat crossing the street, and she didn't want to suffer.

Therefore, Lu Yanzhi had to die outside, preferably in a fair and just way that she could not be suspected at all.

I've been racking my brains, and there are ways to solve the problem, but... I have no help.

But this little thing didn't bother her.

"Go, ask the prince consort to accompany me out shopping."

At least on the surface, she has tamed this prince consort, so why not drag him out and show him off?

Lu Yanzhi felt aggrieved, but still came reluctantly.

"Where is the princess going?"

"Shopping? Of course we go to the street." Xiao Li turned around and glanced at him nonchalantly.

Lu Yanzhi was wearing a gray-green plain brocade double-breasted robe today. This color was very rare, and plain clothes were the most challenging, but when he wore it, it was eye-catching.

She wears a jade crown to tie her hair, and has a tall and graceful figure. Her figure is like a slender bamboo. Although her complexion is pale, it is like autumn frost and jade bamboo. She does not fight or compete, and has a unique charm.

He is able to play the second male lead and is the white moonlight of the female lead. He is indeed quite handsome.

Lu Yanzhi raised his eyes and met Xiao Li's smiling eyes. Was that smile love?

What do you do when you go shopping? Of course, you buy, buy, buy.

Ancient things don’t have much appeal to Xiao Li. Even if they are antiques, she can’t take them away, so they are all useless.

So: "This, this, this...Pack them all for me, and I'll pay for it, Prince Consort."

"This one, this one, that one, these three are too ugly, don't want them, Prince Consort, give me some money."

"Wow, this one is good, I want it, that one is good, wrap it up!"

"Prince Consort, why don't you come and pay me?"

Lu Yanzhi: “…”

Today Lu Shu brought people with him. He didn't have much silver on him and it was gone in two days. The rest was registered under the name of the prince consort and he would be paid after it was delivered.

Lu Shu calculated that in just this short while, a total of 20,000 taels of silver had been spent.

It would be fatal if the princess continued to wander around like this.

"Sir, please stop it quickly."

Even though the Lu family is wealthy and powerful, they would not squander money like this.

Lu Yanzhi stepped forward and said, "Princess, you must be tired after walking around for so long. There is a teahouse up ahead. Let's go there and take a rest."
