After seeing Shang Henshui and his daughter off, everything finally quieted down and the family was able to have a peaceful meal.
But the next morning, Princess Yongning arrived, which was something no one expected.
No one expected this, including Zhao Hao.
The princess’s personal visit is no small matter.
All of a sudden, the whole mansion became busy again. Zhao Wenxiang and Qin Shuyun, along with Zhao Hao and Su Si, as well as all the servants in the house came to welcome the emperor.
Zhao Hao was both moved and speechless.
After welcoming Yongning in, Zhao Wenxiang was fine, but Qin Shuyun was completely excited.
She had only met this daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family once, and that was outside the prison.
This is her first visit, how could she not be excited?
He knew that his son was about to die, so he came to see him off.
So, she is so passionate.
It was winter, but Qin Shuyun's enthusiasm was like a fire in the winter.
Not only did it burn Yongning, it also burned Zhao Hao, and it even almost burned Zhao Wenxiang to smoke.
After enduring for a while, Princess Yongning soon could not bear it anymore.
Originally, she was thinking that after arriving, she could find an opportunity to chat with Zhao Hao alone.
However, Qin Shuyun was so enthusiastic that she never got the chance to be alone with Zhao Hao.
In the end, he encouraged and warned Zhao Hao in front of Zhao Wenxiang and Qin Shuyun, and then fled.
Qin Shuyun tried her best to persuade him to stay and have lunch before leaving.
However, she was too worried that Qin Shuyun would force her to stay and kiss Zhao Hao directly.
So he escaped from the Neishi Mansion.
After sending Yongning away quickly, Zhao Hao came back and asked his mother, "Mom, what are you doing?"
"Look how scared you are of His Highness."
Qin Shuyun was furious when she heard this: "Nonsense, how could my mother be so enthusiastic that she scared the princess?"
"This is the princess' first visit, so of course we have to leave a good impression on her."
Zhao Hao was speechless: "Mom..."
Qin Shuyun immediately said: "Shut up, you know nothing!"
After glaring at Zhao Hao fiercely, Qin Shuyun thought for a moment and said, "This princess... is really nice and pretty, but her personality is a little soft."
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said, "You're still not satisfied, right?"
Qin Shuyun was startled, then smiled and said, "How is that possible? This is Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can mother not be satisfied?"
"Mother means that this princess..."
Zhao Hao glanced at his father Zhao Wenxiang next to him. Zhao Wenxiang was also speechless. He winked at him, and the two of them retreated together.
In the afternoon, Zhao Hao still went to Suyuan.
When she saw him, Jiang Yiren couldn't help feeling embarrassed and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Hao walked forward and gently held him in his arms.
"What's going on?"
"Or is it because of what happened on the night of the 30th?"
Jiang Yiren nodded: "That night when you didn't come, there were four of us, just me, His Majesty and Yongning, but nothing happened."
"But when you came, I felt that the whole atmosphere changed all of a sudden."
"Auntie doesn't know how to deal with it at all. She can only pretend to be calm."
"But soon I couldn't even pretend any more."
"The only thing we can do is flee."
Zhao Hao held her in his arms and patted her shoulders gently.
"My aunt's heart is pure and spotless. She can't bear all these efforts to conceal the truth. It's only natural that she doesn't know how to deal with it."
Jiang Yiren shook her head: "It's mainly because, in front of His Majesty and that girl Yongning, I feel like a thief..."
Zhao Hao quickly said, "How could that be? If there must be someone who is a thief, it should be me."
Jiang Yiren was confused and asked, "Why did Haoer say that?"
Zhao Hao said: "Because I stole my aunt's heart!"
Jiang Yiren's pretty face blushed and she wrapped her arms around Zhao Hao's waist.
Zhao Hao kissed her gently on the forehead, then said softly, "I will leave tomorrow. I will stay in Suyuan tonight to accompany you, okay?"
Jiang Yiren couldn't help but pause, and said softly: "Okay... Of course it's fine, but is it okay for Hao'er not to go back home?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Don't worry, aunt, everything will be fine. We will leave tomorrow afternoon and return in the morning."
Jiang Yiren said in a low voice: "In this case, Hao'er will stay."
As she spoke, she tightened her arm around Zhao Hao's waist slightly: "Hao'er, after you go to Qinzhou this time, can you write a letter back to your aunt?"
"No need to write too much, just a few words to let me know you're safe, and then Auntie will be relieved."
Zhao Hao nodded and said softly, "Don't worry, aunt. This time I will not be as busy as before. I will have plenty of time to write letters."
"Aunt, do you have any other instructions?"
Jiang Yiren shook her head: "Hao'er, you may seem cynical, but in fact, you have everything planned out. Auntie has nothing to tell you."
"Hao'er, Auntie has been thinking about one thing recently..."
Zhao Hao suddenly became curious and asked, "What is aunt thinking about?"
Jiang Yiren said: "If we continue like this, there will be no results. We can only go this far."
"Even so, we still have to worry."
"Hao'er..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao let go of her and turned around.
Zhao Hao said seriously: "Auntie said this, what she meant was that she wanted to..."
Jiang Yiren looked up and said quickly: "Hao'er, don't think too much, Auntie definitely didn't..."
Zhao Hao immediately asked: "Nothing?"
Jiang Yiren paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Auntie definitely has no intention of... backing out."
Zhao Hao asked, "Then why does Auntie still say that?"
Jiang Yiren slowly lowered her head and said, "I just feel that this will not only drag down you, Hao'er, but also that girl Yongning."
"Paper can't cover fire after all."
"Auntie doesn't even dare to imagine what that girl would become if she knew about it one day."
"If that day ever comes, I'm afraid I'll just have to die."
As she spoke, her eyes began to turn red.
However, she continued, "Aunt has also thought about it. If we are discovered, then let it be discovered. We can hide it for one day, that's it."
"Let alone one day, two days, one month, or one year. Even if it's only a moment, I won't regret it."
"But, my aunt can just die, so what are you and that girl going to do, Hao'er?"
"As I thought about it, I felt that I was being too selfish."
"In order to gain a moment of pleasure, one must commit such a great sin."
"Hao'er, don't blame your aunt for thinking this way, okay?"
Her eyes were red, she slowly raised her head and looked at Zhao Hao pleadingly.
