After finishing his business in the palace, Fu Hanlai came out and brought Li Wenfeng with him. He then found the imperial physician to treat Li Wenfeng's injuries, but Li Wenfeng was temporarily confined to a small courtyard and could not come and go freely. The matter of the Marquis of Chengyi's residence still needed to be investigated later.

Knowing that Jiang Xuelin and Li Wenruo must be very concerned about this matter, they rushed back in a hurry.

result!

The two of them were enjoying the scenery on the rooftop despite the wind and snow!

Jiang Xuelin even tricked him into coming up here and then ran away!

He was so kind!

Lacking Jiang Xuelin's skills, Fu Hanlai angrily climbed down the ladder from the roof and followed her into the house.

However, he didn't go inside. That was Li Wenruo's boudoir, and it wasn't appropriate for a man like him to go in. Even if Li Wenruo was still young, this was the Prince Ping's residence, so it wasn't allowed.

Li Wenruo, sheltered in Jiang Xuelin's arms, wasn't covered in much snow. She quickly removed her cloak upon entering and looked at Fu Hanlai with eager eyes, "Young Master, may I ask about my brother..."

She wanted to know how Li Wenfeng was doing, but she was also afraid of hearing bad news.

Although Jiang Xuelin comforted her, saying that Li Wenfeng would be fine, Li Wenruo was still uneasy.

"Don't worry, Wenfeng has suffered some injuries, but they are all superficial. They look terrible, but he will recover in a few days. There are no serious injuries. After all, it is a case of a son suing his father, so it is impossible for him to be completely unharmed. However, he cannot come to see you right now."

Hearing this, Li Wenruo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Someone from the palace will probably come looking for you later, but don't worry, they'll just ask you some questions. Just tell them the truth. After that, Li Wenfeng will probably take you to your clan."

It's a division of clans, not a division of family.

These two are completely different. After the family split up, Uncle Chengyi was still the father of Li Wenfeng and his sister, but once the clan was separated, Uncle Chengyi would no longer have any jurisdiction over them.

However, they will also have no connection with the Marquis of Chengyi's mansion anymore, and they will no longer be able to live under the protection of the Marquis of Chengyi's mansion. They will just be ordinary people in this capital.

At this time, the clan is very important; splitting into different clans is equivalent to abandoning the clan's power and becoming isolated and helpless.

Li Wenruo didn't know much, but she was aware of the seriousness of the separation of the clans. However, as long as she stayed with her brother, it didn't matter. Besides, although life in the Chengyi Earl's Mansion looked glamorous, only she knew the true nature of it.

Cheng Yibo didn't value his daughter, and her stepmother wasn't a good person either. Without a mother to protect her, her life was predictably miserable.

"Thank you for helping my brother and sister, Your Highness and Your Highness." Li Wenruo stood up and bowed gratefully to the two of them.

"It's not to help you, you're just a prelude." Fu Hanlai waved his hand dismissively. "You're still young and don't understand the seriousness of this matter. It's not just about a few women, which is why the Emperor is taking it so seriously."

Li Wenruo knew this, but was still grateful to Fu Hanlai and Jiang Xuelin.

The two stayed with Li Wenruo for a while, then quickly left, whispering to each other.

Like Li Wenruo's life, the snow only lasted a short while before the sky cleared up quickly.

Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai were not at the mansion, while Li Wenruo remained in the Yuhong Courtyard. People from the palace did come, but they did not make things difficult for her. After asking some questions, they left and brought her a reward from the Empress Dowager.

“Miss Wenruo can go for a stroll in the garden. The Crown Princess instructed me that the plum blossoms in the garden are in full bloom now, so you don’t need to stay in the courtyard all day. You should go out for some fresh air.” Jiang Xuelin assigned Hongluo, a head maid, two junior maids, and two nannies to take care of Li Wenruo. This was indeed her instruction.

The little girl can't stay cooped up in the house for too long.

Li Wenruo was now most convinced by Jiang Xuelin's words, so upon hearing this, she put down what she was holding and asked Hongluo to take her to see the plum blossoms.

Because her foot wasn't fully healed, she only walked a short distance. When Hongluo saw that she was almost done, she picked her up and placed her in the pavilion in the garden, and then lowered the curtains on both sides of the pavilion.

It won't affect your flower viewing, but you won't catch a cold.

“Sister Hongluo, what do you think about me making a knot for Sister Xuelin? A red crabapple knot, you said Sister Xuelin likes crabapples.” Li Wenruo said as she made the knot.

"This time, I am very grateful to Sister Xuelin and the young master. Although I am insignificant and have no ability, I still want to do something for Sister Xuelin."

Hongluo is Jiang Xuelin's maid, so it's the most appropriate person to ask her about these things.

"The Crown Princess will definitely love what the young lady makes."

She would definitely love it, and would probably tie it directly to the jade pendant. As for whether Li Wenruo's fighting was good or not, her daughter probably wouldn't care.

She has always known how to cherish other people's kindness. As for the value of those things, she doesn't care. Anyway, she has everything she needs; the sentiment is the most important thing.

Upon hearing this, Li Wenruo immediately gave a shy smile, her eyes sparkling.

Since leaving the Marquis of Chengyi's residence, she has been smiling more and more often.

Making a knot doesn't take much time, but Li Wenruo didn't want to make a simple knot. Instead, she wanted to make a begonia knot that Jiang Xuelin liked, which took quite a bit of effort. Anyway, she didn't have much to do. Since there were few masters in the Pingwang Mansion, Hongluo would occasionally take her to the garden for some fresh air.

"Whose daughter is that over there?"

A woman dressed in simple and elegant clothes walked over slowly with her maid. She seemed to be curious about Li Wenruo. "Whose daughter are you?"

"Your Highness, Consort." Hongluo curtsied. "Your Highness, Miss Wenruo is from the Chengyi Earl's Mansion. Her elder brother is a close friend of the Heir Apparent and the Heir Apparent's wife. She was invited to the mansion by the Heir Apparent's wife."
