Lan Garden.

The study was lit with calming incense, the smell was light and quite pleasant.

It was quiet all around, with only the slight sound of the brush sliding on the rice paper.

Wei Zhao lowered his eyes to deal with the secret letter sent by the Wei family army that needed his decision, and did not look up at the uninvited guest.

Xiao Huaiyan: "It's this hour, and I have been sitting here for a long time. Why don't you go to pick up your sister-in-law? I will accompany you, so you can have a companion."

Wei Zhao ignored him.

"I passed by when I came here, and saw the staff member next to Ying Yin."

Wei Zhao paused slightly.

Xiao Huaiyan was very disgusted.

"You said you liked the house, but you also complained that Ying Yin gave too little."

Is that an ordinary house?

The second prince's mansion is next door.

"You are really asking for too much. I have never seen anyone who is more shameless than me to ask for money."

"After all, it is not a small amount. Ying Yin expressed embarrassment, and the staff member just said that he wanted it."

It was quite unreasonable.

But often, people who value profit and are greedy always beat those who are unpredictable and have no desires. Give Ying Yin the illusion that he can keep Jia's staff loyal to him by using vulgar things.

Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows.

As long as he is not asked, he will support him.

Who is as good at handling things as Ying Fuyan?

He is responsible for the regular expenses below, and if he does not give, he will desperately squeeze Ying Yin.

Xiao Huaiyan: "Ying Yin finally agreed, and he is very generous to the staff."

After the staff got the money, he left without hesitation, and Xiao Huaiyan followed him.

Ying Fuyan was in poor health and walked very slowly. He turned around and came to an alley with few people, but stopped.

Turning around, it was an empty alley.

He was not surprised and spoke.

——"Why is Xiao Shizi following me? Do you think you are good at kung fu and can hide well, so I can't find it?"

Xiao Huaiyan was surprised that a sickly person had also learned martial arts.

He did not cover up anymore and emerged from the dark.

Ying Fuyan was still gloomy, without any light in his eyes.

——"Or does Prince Xiao want to learn the skill of asking for money from me, and then try it in front of Wei Zhao?"

These words...

not a single word is what Xiao Huaiyan likes to hear.

It makes him seem like he is very familiar with this Jia Muliao.

There is a distance between the two.

Xiao Huaiyan's tone is lazy, and he is not embarrassed at all by being caught.

———"I am just curious. Jia Muliao is very capable. He trains Ying Yin like a dog and makes him listen to you so much."

Ying Fuyan glanced at him up and down.

———"You don't look like me."

Xiao Huaiyan: ???

No, why should I look like you?

I am your son!

Ying Fuyan seemed to be reminiscing, and did not seem to want to hide his identity, but he did not say much.

——"When your mother was pregnant with you, she couldn't bear to turn her eyes away every time she saw me. She said many times that she wanted to give birth to a child like me."

At this moment, Xiao Huaiyan stood up, put down the table, and looked at the man in a black robe.

"He actually knew that I have a birthmark on my shoulder. You don't even know such a private matter. How did he know that?"

Wei Zhao also... didn't want to know.

He put down his pen and looked at him listlessly.

"Ah."

Depressed.

"Then you... can't explain it to each other."

Xiao Huaiyan:? ! ?

"Who is he?"

Wei Zhao looked at him steadily: "You already have an idea, don't you?"

Xiao Huaiyan's throat tightened: "Before the incident in Prince Yan's Mansion, I was not born yet. After Prince Yan died, my father secretly went to the place of exile to see him."

"But I didn't expect it."

"Father actually told him everything!"

He doesn't want to save face.

Xiao Huaiyan found a place to sit down and continued to seek a sense of existence.

"The dragon robe was found in the mansion of Duke Zhou by Ying Yin. Did you do it?"

Wei Zhao didn't respond.

Xiao Huaiyan: "I'm afraid these people will never be able to turn over. News came out from the palace that the queen was locked up."

"The emperor is also interesting. Many people have been harmed by the Duke Zhou's Mansion, but he treated them lightly. Everyone is angry but can only accept their fate and swallow their grievances. Now that he has been calculated and fooled, he will not let a big thing go to a small thing."

"It won't hurt if the slap is not on him."

Xiao Huaiyan sneered.

"That's right, the life and death of others are nothing, the majesty of heaven cannot be violated."

Wei Zhao did not react.

Xiao Huaiyan became happy.

"The Chu family is in trouble again." "

I thought I had escaped a disaster, but I didn't expect to be dragged into the water by the Duke Zhou's Mansion. Even if they didn't know that the child was replaced, they were still implicated."

He is well-informed.

Chu Liulang was drunk and wanted to throw the child to death. The Crown Princess who was sent to pick up her daughter saw it.

"Chu Liulang intended to murder the daughter of the royal family. Ten times of beheading is not a light punishment."

"But Chu Ning is quite fond of the child and raised him well. It's her good fortune."

Xiao Huaiyan was dry-mouthed and Wei Zhao finally raised his eyes.

"Someone."

The next moment, a black shadow flashed by.

Rong Di appeared and bowed respectfully: "General."

Wei Zhao continued to handle official business and moved his lips.

"Throw it out."

"Yes!"

Xiao Huaiyan: ? ? ?

Xiao Huaiyan dodged Rong Di's hand that was stretched out to restrain him.

One grabbed, one dodged.

He could still handle it a few times, but after a long time, Xiao Huaiyan was exhausted.

Xiao Huaiyan scolded: "You dog."

Rong Di: "I'm just following orders."

"I'm not scolding you."

There were only three people in the room.

Rong Di's face changed immediately, and he was no longer polite. He held Xiao Huaiyan's arm and dragged him out.

"Why didn't the prince scold his subordinates, and why did he scold the general!!"

Xiao Huaiyan: ...

I'm sick.

————

Wait for the banquet at the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion to end. As

soon as Yu Tingwan stepped out of the door, she saw the carriage parked at the bottom of the steps.

"Sister-in-law!"

Xiao Huaiyan stood by the carriage, and didn't know how long he had been waiting. He called her when he saw her, but glanced at Shen Zhiyi beside her.

"My cellmate, how is the look?"

Shen Zhiyi was puzzled, and whispered to Yu Tingwan: "It's strange, I always run into Prince Xiao these days!"

Yu Tingwan walked steadily, and there was nothing wrong with her. She walked down the steps and said faintly: "The song I sang today sounded better than the last time."

Shen Zhiyi suddenly realized.

"This... this has caught up with the Ning family?"

She admired.

"Xiao Huaiyan, how much do you admire him."

Xiao Huaiyan:? ? ?

He looked at the stumbling block Yu Tingwan in disbelief.

"Sister-in-law, this is... perfect?"

Did she make it up to him again?

Yu Tingwan seemed not to hear it, and she brushed past him without looking at him, lifted her skirt and climbed into the carriage.

Wei Zhao lifted the curtain and welcomed her in, and said to the astonished Xiao Huaiyan.

"Not this time."

"She's just wicked."

Xiao Huaiyan: ???

She is wicked, why are you so proud!

After getting on the carriage, Yu Tingwan turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

There were no outsiders.

No need to drink anymore.

But she didn't know what she was going to do. She

didn't even know when the wheels would turn to go back to Shunguo Mansion.

The girl sat upright.

Her little hands were pressed on her knees, as if she was accepting the most rigorous scrutiny.

Yu Tingwan did not forget to glance at the man next to her: "Husband, don't you think you have been too close to Prince Xiao recently?"

Wei Zhao: ?

Yu Tingwan was very serious: "You have to remember that chastity is your most precious thing."

As she spoke, the smell of alcohol spread in the car.

Wei Zhao narrowed his eyes, leaned closer and frowned: "How much have you drunk?"

Yu Tingwan was deeply in distress: "There are really too many men around you."

Wei Zhao pulled her into his arms, but didn't want to talk to a drunkard.

Yu Tingwan urged: "Explain quickly."

Wei Zhao's eyelids twitched.

Under Yu Tingwan's burning gaze, he cooperated listlessly, but his explanation was very pale.

"I'm clean."

Yu Tingwan thought there was nothing wrong with it. Wei Zhao took a bath every night.

But she seemed to be unable to figure it out, her eyes were misty, and she accuses and questions.

"Then Zhaozhao, why don't you press me and kiss me?"
