Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness Prince Jing, if I can help you, just let me know."

Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and said: "Then I'll trouble you. I would like to ask you to bring the magic dog to see my mother and let her confirm the identity of the magic dog."

Sheng Yunrong nodded. Pei Jinxiao's mother was the queen's sister and had a noble status. If she could get her confirmation, the identity of the divine dog would be beyond doubt.

The two brought the magic dog to the courtyard where the Queen's sister lived. When the Queen's sister saw the magic dog, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She observed the magic dog carefully and said, "Yes, this is the magic dog I gave to the Pei family. I didn't expect it to come to the Sheng Mansion. It seems that our two families have a deep connection."

Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. The Queen's sister looked at them and said with a smile: "Since the divine dog has come to the Sheng Mansion, you must take good care of it. I have some experience in raising divine dogs here, you can refer to it."

Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao hurriedly thanked him, and the Queen's sister personally sent them to the door. Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao and said, "Your Highness Prince Jing, how should we arrange the life of the divine dog?"

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly and said, "Miss Sheng, I think we can let the divine dog stay in the Sheng Mansion first, and then discuss it slowly. After all, the divine dog is a witness to the friendship between our two families, and we should take care of it together."

…

Sheng Yunrong stood at the door of Prince Jing's mansion in astonishment, her brows slightly furrowed, a trace of confusion and surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't understand why the mansion suddenly had a dog, and she, the eldest lady, knew nothing about it.

"Miss, you're back." Old Zhang, the doorman of Prince Jing's mansion, saw Sheng Yunrong and immediately came forward with a flattering smile on his face.

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, but her eyes were still on the dogs running happily. She frowned and asked, "Old Zhang, when did you raise dogs in your mansion? How come I didn't know about it?"

Old Zhang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and explained, "Miss, this is what the prince wanted. He said it was to protect the safety of the mansion. The prince specially had someone buy it from afar, saying that the variety is extremely precious."

Sheng Yunrong frowned even more when she heard this. She was not against raising a dog, but she felt that Jing Wang Pei Jinxiao did this without telling her, which made her feel a little disrespected.

"I understand. You go and get busy." Sheng Yunrong waved her hand, then turned and walked into the mansion.

Pei Jinxiao was handling government affairs in the study. When he heard the news that Sheng Yunrong had returned, he put down the pen in his hand, walked out of the study and went to meet Sheng Yunrong.

"Yunrong, you're back." Pei Jinxiao's voice was gentle, and his eyes were full of love for Sheng Yunrong.

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, but her eyes were still fixed on the dogs. She frowned and asked, "Jinxiao, when did you raise dogs in the mansion? Why didn't you tell me?"

Pei Jinxiao was stunned, then smiled and explained: "I wanted to tell you, but you happened to be unwell those days, and I didn't want to worry you. Besides, these dogs were purchased from far away, and their breeds are precious and can protect our safety."

After hearing this, Sheng Yunrong's dissatisfaction was slightly relieved. But she still felt that Pei Jinxiao should respect her opinion.

"I know what you mean, but after all, I am the master of this mansion. You should tell me what's going on in this mansion." Sheng Yunrong's voice was a little cold.

Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong, with a trace of guilt in his eyes. He gently held Sheng Yunrong's hand and said softly: "I'm sorry, Yunrong, I neglected it. Later, I will tell you everything in the mansion."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao, and the dissatisfaction in her heart gradually dissipated.

Pei Jinxiao really treated her well, but sometimes, his actions were a little unacceptable to her.

"I understand, Jinxiao." Sheng Yunrong patted Pei Jinxiao's hand gently, then turned and walked towards the study.

Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong's back and secretly vowed in his heart that he would respect Sheng Yunrong's opinions more in the future and let her feel her status in the mansion.

In the study, Sheng Yunrong sat at the table, looking at the books on the table, thinking about what happened just now. She knew that Pei Jinxiao raised these dogs to protect her. But she also hoped that Pei Jinxiao could respect her opinion and let her participate in the affairs of the mansion.

At this moment, Pei Jinxiao walked in. He looked at Sheng Yunrong and said softly, "Yunrong, I know you are still angry, but I promise that I will respect your opinions more in the future. Please forgive me."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao and felt moved.

Sheng Yunrong frowned, with a hint of doubt and surprise in her eyes. She stood in front of the gate of Prince Jing's mansion, looking at the strange yet familiar land, and a sense of uneasiness surged in her heart.

"Miss Sheng, please come in." Seeing her hesitation, the servant of Prince Jing's mansion invited her warmly.

Sheng Yunrong nodded gently and stepped into the mansion. She looked around and saw that the mansion was still prosperous, with green trees, birds singing and flowers blooming. However, the familiar atmosphere seemed to have been erased by time, replaced by a strange smell.

"Your Highness, Miss Sheng is here." The servant announced and stepped aside.

Sheng Yunrong looked up and saw Pei Jinxiao walking out of the inner hall. He was wearing a long green gown, with an upright figure and a majestic look between his eyebrows. Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned. The Pei Jinxiao in front of her was completely different from the boy in her memory.

"Miss Sheng, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as charming as ever." Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong smiled lightly and responded, "Your Majesty is too polite. Yunrong is just a woman. How dare I compare myself with you?"

As they talked, they began to stroll in the garden of the mansion.

"Miss Sheng, I heard that you have had a lot of happy events recently. Congratulations." Pei Jinxiao suddenly changed the subject.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I am too kind. It is just a trivial matter for me."

"I heard that you married that Young Master Liu?" There was a strange flash in Pei Jinxiao's eyes.

Sheng Yunrong nodded gently and said, "Yes, he and I are destined to be together, and we have a lot in common."

Pei Jinxiao was silent for a while, then asked, "Is Mr. Liu a reliable person?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, with a hint of firmness in her eyes: "He is a trustworthy person, Your Majesty, don't worry."

Pei Jinxiao nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

The two walked and talked, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. However, Sheng Yunrong still had one thing in her mind that puzzled her.

"Your Highness, why do you keep a dog in your mansion?" Sheng Yunrong couldn't help but ask.

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly and said, "This is the custom of our country. Raising a dog can ward off evil spirits and protect the peace of the mansion."

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently and thought to herself: So that's how it is, it seems that I really haven't been back for too long.

The two walked to a corner of the garden, and Sheng Yunrong suddenly spotted a familiar figure. It was a little girl, about ten years old, holding a small bamboo basket with a few chicks in it.
