Fu Hanlai simply touched the coral on the coral while passing by; he didn't mean anything by it.

He hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence. Jiang Xuelin was a very good sleeper and would only wake up at the appointed time every day, but today she woke up more than half an hour early! If he had known, he definitely wouldn't have touched the gem coral tree!

Oh, he also touched it when he got up to relieve himself at night, but it was quite dark inside then, so he couldn't see it very clearly, at least not as clearly as he can now.

Although this gem coral tree is not as good as the one owned by Princess Ping, it is well-matched and looks extremely elegant; otherwise, it would not have become part of Jiang Xuelin's dowry.

As for lacking this thing, Fu Hanlai actually didn't lack it. After all, he was the heir of a royal family, and not just any royal family, but one that had fallen into decline. The Empress Dowager and Emperor Xuande both doted on him. What couldn't he have if he wanted it? If he had seen that coral tree in the palace first, he could definitely have asked Emperor Xuande for it.

Both the mother and son of Prince Ping were extremely fond of coral, and naturally, they had collected quite a lot of it in their residence.

But some things, you can't stop liking them just because you talk about them too much. Fu Hanlai is indeed used to most corals, but that doesn't stop him from liking new, beautiful and elegant corals. He will still like them if he wants to.

All this is just to show that Fu Ashou really didn't do it on purpose; he just touched her casually.

"My private treasury is filled with so many kinds of corals, would I possibly want yours? I just noticed some dust on your coral when I got out of bed, so I brushed it off for you. I didn't expect it would cause you to misunderstand."

Fu Hanlai coughed lightly, stood up, and righteously explained himself.

Jiang Xuelin: "..."

I had the servants bring out the gems and corals just last night, how could they possibly be dusty? This house is cleaned every day, even the beams are wiped clean, it's not easy for dust to accumulate.

Although she knew perfectly well what was going on, Jiang Xuelin didn't expose Fu Hanlai's forced excuse. She simply nodded in agreement and pretended that the truth was indeed as he said.

I won't argue with him.

More than watching the spectacle of Fu Hanlai's arrival, she was now more interested in why Fu Hanlai had gotten up so early.

Therefore, he called someone in to help him get dressed.

Fu Hanlai assumed that Jiang Xuelin had been woken up by him, so he simply got up as well. He knew that he would definitely not be able to practice as much as Jiang Xuelin this morning, but it didn't matter. He could wait for Jiang Xuelin to take a nap at noon and work hard.

With their little plans already in mind, the young couple changed into clothes that were comfortable for exercising and went out.

When Master Wu saw Jiang Xuelin walking side by side with Fu Hanlai, his feelings were indescribable. However, when facing the two of them, Master Wu still maintained a respectful and serious demeanor.

Jiang Xuelin was a little distracted during her morning exercise today. She couldn't help but think about the woman's feet she had seen yesterday. Because she had something on her mind, her movements became somewhat casual.

Seeing Jiang Xuelin's perfunctory attitude, Fu Hanlai immediately perked up and did not follow suit, but instead became even more serious.

Even martial arts masters who didn't know much about Fu Hanlai could see through his thoughts.

well.

How could he possibly win over the Crown Princess?

Let alone the young master, even someone like him who has been trained since childhood has little chance of beating the young master's wife.

Some people are given food by God, but others are truly the epitome of God having to chase after them to feed them; it's something you can only envy.

There are very few people in this world who know Jiang Xuelin's true strength. Apart from the people of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion, there is only Master Fu Hanlai and Emperor Xuande in the palace.

Emperor Xuande was shocked to hear that it was reported by his martial arts instructor.

Having come with Fu Han, Jiang Xuelin still couldn't figure out why he got up so early.

It couldn't possibly be that he knew he was weak and decided to exercise more, haha!

"So, why are you up so early? Don't lie to me, I know you're not exactly a diligent person."

"How can I be lazy? I've always been very diligent!"

The two bickered for a while before returning to their courtyard to change into clean and fresh clothes before going to find Princess Ping.

Let's go see the coral!

Unfortunately, Princess Ping didn't want to see her eldest son, so she sent them back immediately, perhaps because she knew something.

Princess Ping felt that things had been pretty good lately. Although the two debt collectors were causing some trouble, at least they stayed at home and didn't cause any real problems.

She doesn't ask for much now, she just wants things to settle down and for her to have some good days.

For some reason, her eyelids kept twitching when she woke up this morning, and she didn't know if something was wrong.

"Have the young master and his wife been free of any trouble lately?"

"Your Highness, the young master and his wife only went to Yuanshan Temple to offer incense the other day, saying they had an appointment with Princess Cheng. After that, they haven't had much to do. They've mostly been going between the mansion and the shop these days." The head maid knew what Princess Ping wanted to ask, and answered while gently patting Princess Ping's shoulder.

There's no other way; we have to keep an eye on our young master. Otherwise, something bad might happen. We thought things would get better after the wedding, but we didn't expect that we'd have to keep an eye on him even more.

The head maid was sometimes quite worried, but fortunately, her young master and princess were not the kind of people who lacked sense of propriety. It was only because Vice Minister Huang had offended them last time that they retaliated. Otherwise, they were good children.

It has to be said that this nanny has a very thick filter when it comes to her young master and his wife.
