Chapter 48 Suspicion
Gongsun Huaili waved his hand when he heard the servant say that the fish had been delivered.
The fish is not important. What is important is that he keeps her thoughts in mind in everything he does.
"Your Highness." The man came in again shortly after he left.
Gongsun Huaili put down his pen and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, it's Miss Fang who has arrived." The servant reported respectfully.
Gongsun Huaili paused. "She? What is she doing here?"
"Oh, this month's bill should be delivered..." He asked himself and answered.
The servant across from him hesitated for a moment, "Miss Fang is... here to deliver a gift on behalf of the neighboring farm."
"For the neighboring farm?" Gongsun Huaili frowned. "When did she become involved with the neighbor? Why is she sending a gift for the neighbor?"
Fang Miaozhuo does have some business acumen, but that doesn't mean she can interfere in his affairs.
In particular, Qiongzhi's matter was his private affair and even more of a handle.
Coveting the wife of a minister was a scandal, and he was unwilling to let anyone other than his confidants know these secrets.
"This..." The servant hesitated for a moment, "She..."
"Just say what you want to say. What's wrong with hesitating?" Gongsun Huaili had no patience.
The servant then bravely replied, "Miss Fang sent fish for the mistress of Chun Man Yuan next door."
"Fish?" Gongsun Huaili's expression froze for a moment, and he waved his hand, "You go down first."
After the servants left, he carefully considered the meaning.
Didn't he just send this fish over? Why did Qiongzhi send it back again?
...She had her reasons for asking Fang Miaozhu to deliver it.
Thinking about it carefully, he did not tell Fang Miaozhuo that he was in this place.
Was it a coincidence that she followed me?
Fang Miaozhu, is she following them? Is she following her? Or him?
No matter which one it is, she has the intention of prying into private matters, so we have to be on guard.
This woman seemed to have fallen from the sky.
He privately checked her background and found nothing...
Not only that, she knows certain things about herself.
She even occasionally said things that were not something she could say.
Confucius does not speak of strange and supernatural things, so how did she know this?
Could it be that she, like herself, could dream of something unusual?
A hint of depth and calculation flashed across Gongsun Huaili's eyes, and he clenched the beads in his hand.
"No matter what, her rash trip to Chunman Garden did disturb Qiongzhi..."
The fish was sent back most likely to avoid suspicion.
After all, he was too anxious and ended up scaring her, which was really inappropriate.
However, thinking of the deep affection between the two people in the dream, how could he bear to watch her become someone else's wife?
Forget it, forget it. It’s just his wishful thinking right now. Let’s just take it slow.
After all, Qiongzhi didn't have the same dream as him, so naturally she didn't know what he was thinking.
But this also proves that Qiongzhi in the dream is indeed sincere to him, and not greedy for his power and wealth, otherwise she would not resist him so much now.
"Someone come."
"Has Fang Miaozhu left?"
"Your Highness, not yet."
"Go and tell her that this is my prince's manor."
"yes."
…
Outside Zhuangzi, Fang Miaozhu is visible from afar.
For some reason, her eyelids kept twitching and she always felt like something was going to happen.
"Miss Fang, our master has accepted the fish. Thank you for your hard work." The guard replied with a kind face.
Fang Miaozhu was stunned for a moment, then asked with some confusion, "Big brother, may I ask what the owner's surname is? How did you know my last name is Fang?"
"Miss Fang, you're joking. We all know you're the owner of Yuelai Inn." The guard first explained why he recognized her, then followed their highness's instructions and said, "Our master is the Ninth Prince! We can barely be considered colleagues!"
"This manor is the apple of Prime Minister Pei's eye, a gift from Miss Pei. Your Highness has been busy with official duties lately and has been feeling restless, so he decided to come to the manor to take care of his chores and recuperate..."
He continued to chatter, but Fang Miaozhuo on the opposite side could not hear a word he said.
She fell to the ground with a pale face, "It's over, how could this happen..."
The Ninth Prince was not in Chunman Garden at all; he was in the farm next door.
This farm actually belongs to Pei Wanqing, and she is the future consort of the Ninth Prince!
She knew that things were definitely not that simple!
Pu Qiongzhi, this despicable villain, said he would let her go easily, but in fact he was waiting here!
She clearly remembered that the original text said that the Ninth Prince was suspicious by nature, a common problem among all emperors.
She hadn't even dealt with Pu Qiongzhi yet, so how come Pei Wanqing showed up?
That's true... Although the selection will take another half a year, it is inevitable that she is the daughter of Prime Minister Pei and the niece of the imperial concubine, so she knows the ninth prince.
She relied too much on the content of the article and ignored the information hidden behind the words!
"Your Highness... Did Your Highness say anything else?" Fang Miaozhu stared at the guard.
The guard scratched his head, "No more."
He didn't even say he had seen her, which showed that the Ninth Prince was really angry.
Fang Miaozhu's face was pale and she left here in a daze.
…
The garden is full of spring.
Nangong Hua naturally heard about this as well.
"You mean, Madam had the fish sent back to the Ninth Prince?"
He could barely conceal the smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "That's true! I just had fish with my wife yesterday!"
"Madam never likes to eat the same dish repeatedly!"

As for the owner of the Yuelai Inn and Miss Fang... he had never heard of them in his previous life! He didn't care at all.
In his eyes, the most powerful woman in the world is his wife!
No matter how powerful Miss Fang and Miss Yuan are, can they compare to his wife?
As long as the Ninth Prince doesn't lose face in front of his wife, he will be happy!
It seems that the Madam doesn't have that kind of intention towards the Ninth Prince right now! Then he can rest assured.
Without the conveniences brought by his status as a prince, Gongsun Huaili is nothing more than this! Hehe!
"Go ask Granny Qian what's for lunch today! I'm in a good mood and have a good appetite, so I must eat more! I remember there are a few jars of fine wine on the farm. I must open one today!"
"Yes." Uncle Yang saw how happy he was, shook his head in his heart, and went to the kitchen helplessly.
Nangong Hua couldn't help laughing and jumped back and forth in the room happily.
He caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure out of the corner of his eye, then quickly jumped back onto his chair and raised his book.
"What book are you reading, husband? It's so interesting?" Pu Qiongzhi walked in from outside and glanced at the book in his hand.
Nangong Hua cleared his throat and covered his face more tightly. "It's nothing, just a miscellaneous book."
"Husband, I've almost finished checking this farm. The tenants are all honest people, and nothing's wrong with them. I think it's because you've been visiting so often... I saw they're doing quite well with their flowers, so I've asked them to focus on them, which should increase their harvest."
"We still need to plant some vegetables, otherwise we will have nothing to eat." Nangong Hua said.
Pu Qiongzhi laughed, "My husband, don't worry about that. Once my restaurant opens, the Pu family will send food to the capital, and our Bofu and the manor will also have a share."
"You arrange it." Nangong Hua heard that she had thought it through, so he naturally agreed.
