Her courtyard was extremely remote; let alone the prince's courtyard, it would take her about ten minutes to walk out of the gate.
She knew that this was a deliberate arrangement by the princess to prevent her from lingering in front of Long Tianyi.
She never understood why, even though they were both daughters of the prime minister, and she was even more favored than Sang Jiang, the prince and princess always looked down on her. This was true before Long Tianyi and Sang Jiang broke off their engagement, and even more so afterward, they completely ignored her.
She's married into the family now, and they still treat her like this.
After she got back, she sat there staring at the door, hoping that Long Tianyi would come to see her.
Long Tianyi's absence these past two days has caused Sang Rui's status in the Prince's mansion to plummet. The maids in her courtyard are all sickly, and some don't even open their eyes to look at her.
Sang Rui never expected to receive this kind of treatment.
She glanced at Aya and asked softly, "Where is Yang Liu?"
Aya lowered her eyes: "After Li Wei caused trouble at the palace yesterday, he was sent to the villa in the western suburbs by the master."
"The villa in the western suburbs?" Sang Rui frowned, thought for a moment, and whispered a few words in her ear.
"Ah?" Aya exclaimed in surprise, looking at Sang Rui with difficulty, and said, "Miss, this...this is not a good idea."
“What’s wrong with it?” Sang Rui frowned at her. “I’m like this now all because of him! You don’t want to go, right? Fine, then you do it for her?”
"No!" Aya hurriedly shook her head: "No! Miss! I'm willing, I'll go right away."
After she finished speaking, she hurriedly turned around and ran out.
A fierce glint flashed in Sang Jiang's eyes as she watched her departing figure.
...
Meanwhile, in Xifeng Kingdom.
Consort Shu sighed as she looked at Nangong Luoying, who was staring blankly out the window again.
Since being kidnapped, Nangong Luoying's most frequent activity has been spacing out or going to the Crown Prince's residence, a stark contrast to her former lively and cheerful personality.
Consort Shu noticed the changes in her daughter and couldn't help but feel worried.
She quietly called Lili over and gave her a few instructions. Lili nodded and went out to bring Zhang Yaoqin back.
Zhang Yaoqin looked at Consort Shu and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Consort Shu."
Consort Shu nodded: "Lord Zhang, please rise."
Zhang Yaoqin looked at Consort Shu and said coldly, "I wonder what important matter Consort Shu has summoned me for?"
Consort Shu's expression faltered for a moment, then she smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, I just heard that Lord Zhang's ancestral home is in the same place as mine, so I invited Lord Zhang to come and catch up."
Zhang Yaoqin nodded: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Consort Shu glanced outside and saw Lili rush in and whisper a few words to her.
She stood up hurriedly: "I'm so sorry, Lord Zhang, you may have to wait a moment. I'll be right back."
After saying that, she hurriedly walked outside without giving Zhang Yaoqin a chance to speak.
Zhang Yaoqin: ...
Looking at Consort Shu's hurried but not at all anxious back, he knew that Consort Shu must have nothing important to do at this time.
He just didn't understand why Consort Shu wanted to keep him here.
Nangong Luoying yawned, somewhat speechless, as she watched Ying'er hurriedly pulling her along: "What's wrong? Why can't you tell me in the palace and have to come to Mother Consort's place?"
Ying'er pulled her along without turning her head, muttering as she walked, "My princess, it's been ten days! It's been ten days since you last went to the Crown Prince's residence. You haven't left your palace for ten days. If you don't go out for a walk soon, you'll... sigh, princess..."
