That day, Mo Yunhan finished his morning court session and made a special trip back to have breakfast with Jiang Qingwan.
This prompted Song Yushu to tease him quite a bit.
“As the aunt, I have never enjoyed this kind of treatment.”
"Qingwan, I told you long ago that he's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Look, his ears turned red after just a couple of sentences."
Jiang Qingwan's thick skin couldn't take it.
The moment I looked up, I wanted to chase them away.
Before he could finish speaking, Song Yushu had already stood up.
"I'm not going to be tactless, so I won't bother you two young couples. I'll go check on Chengye and bring him some clean clothes."
Jiang Qingwan tried to stop her, but she was forced to sit down in a chair.
His smile was both teasing and friendly.
"Don't let my Yunhan down."
After she left, the atmosphere at the table became strange and awkward.
Jiang Qingwan felt her face burning and glared at Mo Yunhan with displeasure.
"Why did you come back if there's nothing wrong?"
Mo Yunhan smiled and served her some food.
“This seems to be my residence.”
"Then I'll leave?"
Jiang Qingwan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Mo Yunhan hummed in agreement.
"If you leave, I will proclaim to the world that you have betrayed my true feelings, and I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth."
Jiang Qingwan angrily stomped on his foot.
She even deliberately ground the embroidered shoes.
Mo Yunhan didn't dodge, and with a calm expression, he leaned closer and whispered, "I missed you, so I came back."
Jiang Qingwan's face turned even redder.
The meal was quite satisfying.
Lian'er had just cleared the plates away.
Night Seven walked in.
"Your Highness, someone has sent a visiting card requesting an audience with the Princess."
Jiang Qingwan, curious, reached out and took the visiting card, then opened it.
I was somewhat surprised after seeing the signature.
"Lu Ning? Qing Sui, go to the door and invite him in."
"yes."
Qinghui agreed and left in a hurry.
Mo Yunhan also saw the contents of the visiting card.
When did you meet the Lu family?
Jiang Qingwan glanced at him.
"Do I need to explain to Your Highness who I know? We've finished our meal, why aren't you leaving yet? Don't you have any official duties to attend to?"
Mo Yunhan looked at him with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
“I know the Lu family members, so there’s no need for them to give way.”
Jiang Qingwan grew increasingly disgusted.
"Why should a grown man like you listen to what we girls are saying?"
Ye Qi, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but want to laugh.
He was glared at by Mo Yunhan.
At that moment, Qinghui walked in with two women and one man.
Mo Yunhan frowned as he looked at the man dressed as a servant in blue.
As soon as they entered, he let out a cold snort without any politeness.
"Lord Xiao, you have quite the leisure. What brings you to my residence dressed like this?"
Xiao Ping was surprised to find Mo Yunhan there.
Those who had been bowing their heads now had no choice but to bow in greeting.
"Your Highness, this humble official pays his respects."
Lu Ning and Fu An'an also bowed in unison.
Jiang Qingwan's gaze fell on Fu An'an, her eyes darkening slightly.
"Mo Yunhan, you can leave now."
Mo Yunhan's handsome face grew even colder.
"No, I must be present when allowing men from outside the family to join."
He remained firmly seated in the chair, refusing to move.
Jiang Qingwan got up, grabbed his arm, and pushed him away.
"Qinghui, stand guard at the door and don't let him in."
Mo Yunhan was annoyed at being ignored, but unwilling to lose face in front of outsiders, he snorted with a dark face.
"No need to guard, I am very busy and have no time to talk to you."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Fu An'an couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "I didn't expect His Highness the Ninth Prince to have such a temper."
Jiang Qingwan looked at her again.
What's wrong with you?
Fu An'an quickly snapped out of her daze.
"Jiang Meizi, you can tell I'm possessed."
She quickly pulled out a chair and sat down next to Jiang Qingwan.
"A few days ago, I received a large order to pine a lot of flowers for a mansion. Somehow, I started to lose some memories intermittently. Last night, when I returned home, the amulet I always wear suddenly caught fire and almost burned me. That's when my mind suddenly came back to normal, and I remembered some frightening things. That person actually wanted to use me to confirm that Lord Xiao had bribed someone, which is a major taboo in the Ministry of Revenue."
She patted her chest repeatedly.
"I was so scared I broke out in a cold sweat. I went to find Lu Ning first thing this morning. I was afraid I would do something stupid again and regret it. Jiang, please take a look at me, what's wrong?"
Jiang Qingwan looked at the pink blush between her eyebrows.
"Stretch out your hand."
...
Mo Yunhan walked all the way to the study door and suddenly gave Ye Qi a cold glance.
"Have I been too lenient with her? She's capable of secretly colluding with court officials, and she even dared to do it right under my nose, and she even chased me out!"
He got angrier and angrier as he talked.
Ye Qi couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly.
But he dared not show it, and made the suggestion with a blank face and a serious expression.
"Should we go back?"
Mo Yunhan's eyes showed disdain.
"She made the mistake, why should I go back myself?"
Ye Qi remained silent, inwardly grumbling.
Do you expect the princess to come and coax you?
But he dared not say those words.
Suddenly, Night Thirteen landed on the ground.
"My lord, Luo Jiu went to the Ghost Market and has gone missing."
Ye Qiyi was startled.
"Your Highness, he's probably gone to find the person who designed the crossbow for Qin Minglang."
Mo Yunhan's expression darkened slightly.
"Let's go to the ghost market."
...
Jiang Qingwan had just withdrawn the spiritual power from her fingertips.
