Hearing Xu Jingye's name from Yan Yunshu, Xu Jinghuai felt a little jealous. He gestured for Yingfeng to leave. After the door closed, he said uncomfortably, "Why, do you miss him?"
"What are you thinking? I'm just worried that he'll bother me again about the engagement..." Yan Yunshu frowned. "As long as we're not married, I won't be at peace. I want to marry you as soon as possible. I'll feel relieved after marrying you. After all, there's no way he'll chase me back to Prince Huai's Mansion. Besides, after we get married..."
Yan Yunshu kept nagging to herself, and Xu Jinghuai's face had already turned red to the neck.
In order to cover up, he quickly stood up and turned his back to Yan Yunshu. Yan Yunshu muttered to herself that Xu Jinghuai had stood up and couldn't help but wonder, "Xu Jinghuai, what are you doing?"
Xu Jinghuai coughed twice and said, "Don't worry, he is very busy with the affairs of the mansion right now. He has no time to bother you for the time being."
After saying that, he thought to himself that he had to let Yingfeng do more things for Prince Ye's Mansion. No matter whether Yan Yunshu had him in her heart or not, he could not let any changes to his marriage with Yan Yunshu.
"He can be entangled in the affairs of the mansion?" Yan Yunshu was surprised. She had never seen it in her previous life, nor in this life.
"There was a fire in the warehouse and some things were lost."
"Oh!" Yan Yunshu suddenly realized that it was because of money. That was understandable. Others might not understand, but she, Yan Yunshu, knew it best. Xu Jingye pretended to be noble and honest in front of the world and regarded money as dirt, but in fact he was greedy and avaricious by nature.
"Don't worry."
"Xu Jinghuai, you didn't set the fire, did you?" Yan Yunshu looked at Xu Jinghuai.
Xu Jinghuai remained calm and said, "Of course not!"
Yan Yunshu said, "Oh, it seems that God is helping me!" Yan Yunshu clasped her hands together, very pious, "God, please protect Prince Ye's mansion from fires and floods every day."
"It's snowing heavily, and the water is constantly flowing. It's not easy to deal with it, but there are other ways..."
"Xu Jinghuai, you still say it's not you!"
Xu Jinghuai was speechless. "Yes! It was me! I didn't want to say it because I was worried you'd overthink it and think I did it for you!" Xu Jinghuai regretted it the moment he said it. It was clearly me!!! But what could he do if he was so stubborn about saving face? Xu Jinghuai! You deserve it for not wanting Yan Yunshu to even look at you when you were young! You're such a jerk!
Wood!!! Head!!! Ah!!!
"Xu Jinghuai, is it difficult to admit that you are actually loyal and righteous? We are allies, do you know that? So you must help me and help me marry into the Huai Palace smoothly."
Xu Jinghuai's face turned pale and red. What does it mean to help you marry into Prince Huai's Mansion smoothly?
Helping you is helping myself!
He didn't say it in the end, but instead stood in front of the window with Yan Yunshu, each eating a piece of cake, and finished the cakes on the table.
A day passed.
At dusk, he sent Yan Yunshu back home. He stood in front of the prime minister's residence and watched Yan Yunshu's back as she entered the residence, as if he saw her walking into a dangerous place.
"Yan Yunshu, you're almost coming of age, please be sure to protect yourself."
He murmured softly.
After getting on the carriage, Yingfeng asked him, "Prince, why didn't you tell the princess just now? You were worried about her and asked her to protect herself?"
Xu Jinghuai's face darkened.
Ying Feng couldn't control his mouth at all. "Your Majesty, I think you are a little unromantic. If you continue like this, be careful that the princess will be abducted by someone else."
Xu Jinghuai glared at Yingfeng and said, "Let's see who dares!"
Yingfeng stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
Xu Jinghuai thought about it and felt extremely worried. He asked Yingfeng, "But what did you see?"
"No, it's just that the princess is beautiful and has a good personality. She will be coming of age soon, so she will definitely be a hot commodity."
"Father has pointed her out to me."
"Your Highness! The princess is not an object! She has her own ideas! And isn't this marriage still finalized? Your Highness has been like this all along. What if, what if... I am truly worried for Your Highness..."
Xu Jinghuai remained silent for a long time before finally nodding, "Got it. I'll be more careful next time."
Yingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the prince was not angry and agreed.
"You! Return home and accept your punishment."
Ying Feng wanted to cry but had no tears. Sure enough, what was supposed to come would come no matter how late it was. His mouth had no other advantages, but its biggest advantage was its bad mouth.
…
Fanghua Garden.
Yan Yunshu and Yan Yunyi, brother and sister, exchanged the news they had learned today.
Yan Yunshu let Yan Yunyi speak first, and after Yan Yunyi finished, Yan Yunshu felt that she had nothing more to say. Yan Yunyi had already finished speaking.
"Next, I will deliberately find a suitable and reasonable excuse in front of my father to reveal Zhu Nianyan's true face. My father will definitely defend him in every way. Then I will intensify my efforts and force my father to lose his composure. Finally, I will tear off this layer of paper and make them lose their official positions, disgrace themselves, and be cursed by the world."
Yan Yunyi's eyes were determined, and he made the subsequent arrangements without his sister saying anything.
"Brother, you are still pretty good. You are not stupid anymore." Yan Yunshu gave her brother a thumbs up.
Yan Yunyi was originally in a heavy mood, but when he saw his sister praising him, he suddenly felt happy. After being happy, his eyes became red again. "Sister, I'm sorry for you. You must have been very sad after mother left. I should have been by your side to protect you, but I was blinded by greed and ignored you. Seeing you suffer, I..."
"It's okay, let's not talk about this." Yan Yunshu didn't want to mention it anymore.
"But my brother has regrets in his heart."
