The Fourth Prince turned around upon hearing this and greeted two acquaintances with a smile.
"Master Du, Master Qin."
Lord Du glanced at the Fourth Prince, then withdrew his gaze and glanced at Lord Qin, who was also frozen. He lowered his voice and said, "How could it be the Fourth Prince?"
He didn't speak loudly just now, and he didn't know whether the Fourth Prince heard it.
Lord Qin smiled at the Fourth Prince and replied in a similarly low voice, "How should I know?"
Looking at the person on the Fourth Prince's back, Lord Qin had a guess in his mind that it must be his own daughter who had not escaped.
"Fourth Prince, why are you here?" Lord Du asked casually.
The Fourth Prince pointed at Qin Qianqian on his back and said, "Miss Qin has drunk too much. I will take her back."
Worried that the two would overthink it, the Fourth Prince gave another explanation.
"Miss Qin doesn't ride in a carriage."
Lord Qin wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. He had just agreed with Lord Du.
Lord Du was not in a much better situation either. It was bad enough that the Fourth Prince heard him talking about him, but the person he was carrying was Lord Qin's daughter. He had offended three people at once.
He made an excuse and turned away from this extremely embarrassing situation.
The Fourth Prince carried Qin Qianqian into the Qin Mansion, put her down, and turned to leave.
Madam Qin ordered someone to make some hangover soup and said with a smile, "It seems Qianqian has finally gotten what she wanted."
Just now, I saw the cautious look of the Fourth Prince, he was completely different from his usual eccentric look.
My daughter and the Fourth Prince have been childhood sweethearts and know each other very well. Although the Fourth Prince is not as outstanding as the other princes, he is a simple man. If he marries my daughter, she will definitely not suffer any grievances.
"Well," Lord Qin nodded and sighed, "There's nothing wrong with Concubine Shu. I wonder if the Emperor..."
…
at the same time.
When Lord Du returned home, he couldn't wait to tell Mrs. Du what had just happened.
He raised his hand to take the tea that Mrs. Du poured for him and drank it.
"I have to be more careful with my words next time. I don't know if the Fourth Prince heard me."
Madam Du chuckled, "I'm afraid Master Qin isn't much better than you. Everyone has different personalities. I heard Yan'er say that Miss Qin has a very good temper. Master, you can't look down on her because of this."
"Am I that kind of person?" Lord Du put down the cup in his hand. "Everyone has their own way of living."
At least it’s not Yan’er who is being carried on his back.
Speaking of Du Shuyan, Lord Du was about to ask her where she had been when he saw the second prince coming in holding Du Shuyan.
"Quick, call a doctor to come and check Miss Du's feet."
Lord Du only felt a loud slap on his face. What is the difference between hugging and carrying?
"What happened to Yan'er?"
The Second Prince placed Du Shuyan on a chair. "It's okay, I just sprained my ankle. Don't worry, Grandma."
"Master Du, Mrs. Du."
The Second Prince greeted the two of them and observed Lord Du's expression.
"Second Prince, did you carry Yan'er all the way here?"
Lord Du had hope in his heart, but the Second Prince simply nodded, shattering his hope.
"Don't worry, Master Du. I don't have a fiancée yet. It's just that Miss Du is in unbearable pain, so I can't care about anything else. If you feel it's inappropriate, I can ask my father to grant me a marriage."
Du Shuyan now understood what the Second Prince was planning. Even though her ankle was not seriously sprained, he still insisted on holding her. It turned out that he wanted to see her grandfather's reaction.
"The people of Tianqi are open-minded. There's nothing wrong with that. Thank you, Second Prince, for sending Yan'er back."
Seeing that the Second Prince had no intention of leaving, Lord Du didn't want to directly ask him to leave, so he had to have someone serve tea.
"Master Du, you are too polite."
The second prince took the tea and said, "Everyone says Lord Du is old-fashioned, so why did he say there was nothing wrong when he saw him coming back with A Yan in his arms?"
Lord Du looked back and forth between the two of them and snorted in his heart.
If you want to trick his precious granddaughter away, dream on.
As undercurrents were brewing between the two, the doctor came in with a medicine box on his back, checked the injury on Du Shuyan's foot, gave her a few instructions, grabbed some medicine, and left.
"Miss Du is fine, so I'm relieved."
…
The Third Prince naturally would not miss the opportunity to send Mu Xue back home.
The two were strolling in the bustling market at the moment. The third prince walked on Mu Xue's left, paying attention to the passers-by, worried that they would bump into Mu Xue.
Mu Xue took in his little movements and curled the corners of her lips.
"Sir, please buy a hairpin for your wife."
The third prince stopped and looked at the exquisite hairpins in front of him. His eyes fell on a white jade hairpin. He raised his hand, picked up the white jade hairpin and handed it to Mu Xue.
"How about this one?"
Mu Xue has a cool and elegant temperament, and this white jade hairpin is flawless. The Third Prince feels that it perfectly suits her temperament.
"Sir, you have a good eye. This hairpin really suits your wife."
The boss wasn't complimenting her, he really thought the hairpin was very suitable for Mu Xue.
Hearing the boss repeatedly calling her "Madam," Mu Xue felt a little embarrassed. She looked at the simple white jade hairpin in front of her and nodded, "Okay."
The third prince paid the silver and inserted the white jade hairpin into Mu Xue's bun.
The two of them strolled around for a while, and Mu Xue discovered that the Third Prince would pay for everything she saw.
She was worried that if he continued shopping, the Third Prince might not be able to carry all his purchases, so she took the initiative to carry them back home.
The two returned to the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Marquis Qingyuan looked at the Third Prince carrying lots of things and quickly asked someone to take the things from him.
Knowing that Marquis Qingyuan didn't like him very much, the third prince put down his things and turned to leave.
"Send everything back to the princess's house."
After saying this, Marquis Qingyuan asked Mu Xue to stay.
"Your second aunt came to look for you today, but she left without saying anything."
Mu Xue originally thought that her father would ask her about the Third Prince, but unexpectedly it was her Second Aunt who was looking for her.
In her memory, her second aunt treated her well, and as her second uncle was her father's only younger brother, the relationship between the two families was also very good.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Mu Xue thought about it but couldn't figure it out.
It was time for dinner.
Mu Xue had just finished her meal with Qingyuan Hou when she heard the maid come to report.
"My Lord, the Second Madam is here."
Xu was brought in, and Marquis Qingyuan ordered someone to prepare dishes and chopsticks.
"My Lord, that's not necessary. I've already used it. I came here to ask the Princess for a favor."
"Second aunt, please tell me."
Unlike the second wives of other mansions who would covet the status of the first wife, Xu always abided by her duties and never overstepped the boundaries. She would not make unreasonable demands just because the first wife was a marquis.
It is precisely because of this that Mu Xue respects her very much.
"Your cousin has been completely distracted since returning home today. I asked the maid and found out that he became like this after meeting Miss Yang."
Mrs. Xu sighed at this point, "I wanted to invite Miss Yang to visit my house, but I was worried she would refuse, so I came to ask the princess for help."
She was very satisfied with Yang Xin, her future daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly break off the engagement.
