Shouldn't you avoid such things if you encounter them?
The stone flowers, however, neither dodged nor avoided them, but rather seemed to be watching a good show.
Isn't she afraid of getting a sty?
Shi Hua lowered her eyes, inwardly cursing Shangguan Yanran for being shameless.
It's unheard of to be caught doing something like that and not feel ashamed at all.
She carried her bundle, took a few steps forward, and curtsied to Fu Rongchen, saying, "Then this servant will return to the capital now. Take care, young master."
Fu Rongchen ignored her and led Shangguan Yanran into the courtyard.
Shihua bit her lip in embarrassment.
Looking back at Shangguan Yanran walking beside Fu Rongchen, she felt both jealousy and resentment.
What good is Shangguan Yanran besides being the daughter of the Prime Minister?
She had never seen a young lady from any family so unreserved, chasing a man all the way to Xuzhou and then boldly kissing him.
That's incredibly rude.
The lady would not like a girl like that as her daughter-in-law.
So even if Shangguan Yanran could win the young master's favor, she still couldn't get past the madam's hurdle.
Thinking this way, she felt much better, and carrying her bundle, she left the government office.
Shangguan Yanran was unaware of the darkness in Shi Hua's heart. After Fu Rongchen settled her in the courtyard next to his, he went to the front to handle official business.
...
On this day, Xie Jingrun finally arrived in Suzhou.
They thought they would see Rong Qingqing soon, but to their surprise, Rong Qingqing was not at the Governor's Mansion. Instead, Xiao Zhen, who should have been lying in bed, woke up and was sitting in the courtyard talking with Doctor Xu and others.
Xie Jingrun was somewhat surprised, "The poison in your body has been cured?"
Xiao Zhen was quite surprised to see Xie Jingrun arrive. After realizing what was happening, he stood up to greet him.
Xie Jingrun quickly stepped forward to help him up, saying, "Father-in-law, there's no need for such formalities." He paused for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm relieved to see that you're alright."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhen glanced at him in surprise, not expecting that the emperor's son-in-law would know how to care about him. "Your Majesty, I am fine. Thank you for your concern."
He knew the emperor's son-in-law's personality; he wasn't the kind of person who was overly kind-hearted. The fact that he cared about him was undoubtedly because of Qingqing.
Xie Jingrun turned his head and looked around, but did not see the person he wanted to see.
Xiao Zhen naturally knew who he had come for.
Seeing his anxious look, she had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, the Empress went horseback riding with Yelü Qi on the grasslands outside the Great Wall this morning."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrun's expression immediately turned gloomy.
She went horseback riding on the grasslands with Yelü Qi? She really seemed to be in the mood.
"You just woke up, why didn't she stay to take care of you?"
Xiao Zhen sensed the displeasure in his tone and knew that he was jealous. He raised an eyebrow and said unhurriedly, "During the time I was unconscious, I was very fortunate to have the Empress taking care of me. I saw that she had been tired for many days. Since the sun was not so strong today, and Prince Yelü repeatedly invited her, I persuaded her to go out and play with Prince Yelü."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrun's expression darkened further. "Why is my father-in-law advising her to go with Yelü Qi? After all, Yelü Qi is a Xiongnu. If you let her go to the grasslands beyond the Great Wall with Yelü Qi, what if..."
Xiao Zhen said with certainty, "No, Prince Yelü is upright and honest. I was able to be cured of the poison and wake up thanks to Prince Yelü. Moreover, he also improved the relationship between the Xiongnu and our Great Liang, thus avoiding a war. In addition, the Empress has been kind to him, so he would be even less likely to harm her."
