Chapter 111 Why
Qin Yurong slept anxiously all night and didn't see Fu Yi again, which made her feel relieved.
The next day, she got up and sat in front of the mirror in a daze for a while.
She wanted to tell her sister that King Liang wanted to help rescue her, so that she could feel at ease.
But before leaving Prince Liang's Mansion, Prince Liang specifically told her not to tell anyone.
"Why?" she asked at the time.
King Liang replied, "Fu Yi is too thoughtful and perceptive. We must be careful not to accidentally reveal our actions to him."
Qin Yurong thought that her sister probably wouldn't show her emotions so clearly.
Then Prince Liang said, "If Fu Yi accidentally discovers her, she can clear herself of suspicion. It proves that it was only me who tampered with it without authorization."
These words convinced Qin Yurong.
"This King Liang is actually a good man." Qin Yurong muttered to herself.
"Princess, I'm here to serve you." Mother Zou's voice rang out.
She walked in, followed by Cheng Nianying.
Qin Yurong naturally quickly dismissed the others.
Seeing her excited, Cheng Nianying asked, "Did everything go well at Prince Liang's mansion yesterday?"
No way! He saw through her in one glance!
Qin Yurong was about to speak, but suddenly remembered King Liang's instructions, so she didn't tell the truth.
Now that she's been discovered, what happens next? — She couldn't answer that.
"Yes, everything went well." Qin Yurong responded.
"What did the assassin say?"
"She said..." Qin Yurong paused, "She said something you should know. Where can I meet the client who entrusted me with this project? Why did she say that?"
Cheng Nianying looked at Qin Yurong's expression.
Her "sister" was just curious and didn't think too much about it.
Cheng Nianying never intended to tell anyone about her past.
She said, "I don't know either."
Qin Yurong trusted her very much and immediately stopped dwelling on such small details. She said happily, "She also said that the matter about the prince was fabricated by her."
"That's good."
Cheng Nianying stood up and walked to the bed, squatted down, reached out and grabbed a ring under the bed, and then pulled it out.
A heavy box was pulled out.
Qin Yurong asked curiously, "What is this?"
"I need to grab some stuff and go."
Qin Yurong thought about the last time she asked her mother what she could take. At that time, her mother said that she could not take anything...
Qin Yurong's heart ached, and she hurriedly said, "Take whatever you want, don't worry about it."
Cheng Nianying first took apart the golden headdress that King Liang had given her earlier and hid it bit by bit in her sleeves.
"Take some more, take some more!" Qin Yurong said to her.
"No need."
"It was my mother and I who wronged you. You said it wasn't necessary, but were you just saying that in anger?" Qin Yurong was about to cry.
"I can't take that much away at once."
"...Ah?" Qin Yurong's tears suddenly got stuck in her eyes.
Cheng Nianying stood up and tightened her cuffs, revealing the faint outline of the jewelry.
"What will it look like if you pretend too much?"
"Yeah...yes." Qin Yurong wiped her face.
She was overthinking it. Her sister wouldn't say anything angry.
My sister is different.
She was different from all the women she had ever met.
Cheng Nianying quickly began to move house bit by bit, hiding everything she was going to take away in the servants' room in advance.
Fu Yi was not at home during the day, which greatly facilitated her actions.
When Fu Yi returned home in the evening, Cheng Nianying was still the one to face him.
After attending court for several days in a row, Fu Yi seemed to be in poor health again. He did not have any intimate behavior with Cheng Nianying anymore, but brought more books for her to read.
So under the candlelight, one person sat on the left to handle official business, and the other sat on the right to read quietly.
If he saw that she did not turn the pages of the book for a long time, Fu Yi would stand up, take a look, and talk to her about the obscure parts.
This was a rare opportunity for Cheng Nianying, who eagerly absorbed the knowledge from the book. Now, she was really selfish and was reluctant to let Qin Yurong play the role at night.
I don’t know how many days have passed in a flash.
During dinner in the evening, Cheng Nianying saw a dish on the table that was far less delicious than usual.
Fu Yi noticed her gaze and immediately said, "When we were leaving court today, we heard Lord Cai, who was traveling with us, say that his wife had a poor appetite recently. I unintentionally offered this dish to you, but compared to the delicacies in the mansion, Mrs. Cai actually liked it very much."
“So I asked how this dish was made.”
Cheng Nianying was stunned.
Could it be... that the prince made it himself?
Fu Yi continued, "Lord Cai said it was made in an inconspicuous tavern in the capital. Before returning home, I went there specifically."
Cheng Nianying's eyes moved and she lowered them: "Oh, thank you, Prince."
Fu Yi then took out another box and said, "Take a look."
Cheng Nianying reached out and opened it.
The light inside immediately burst out, almost blinding her eyes.
"It is time for small nations to come and pay tribute. Today, in the presence of the Emperor, His Majesty has given me this gift. It is as bright as the moonlight, and I believe you will like it."
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips.
So what.
Things given by the emperor cannot be taken away.
Fu Yi saw that she still didn't look happy.
He pursed his lips even tighter, clapped his hands and called the maid up.
The maid was holding a new box in her hand. She opened the lid and revealed bottles and jars in red, green and gold and silver inlays.
Cheng Nianying's attention was immediately attracted to it.
"This is the rouge and powder that's all the rage in the city. I heard women love it, so I brought some for you, too."
Rouge and powder?
It won't be useful if she leaves.
The bottles and jars containing rouge and powder are really pretty, they would be great for storing medicine pills.
Cheng Nianying reached out and touched it, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Take one away when the time comes.
Just one is enough.
Fu Yi felt much better when he saw her smiling.
The next day, he specifically asked Wu Xun, who stayed in the mansion.
"How is it? Can you change it back during the day?"
Wu Xun whispered, "It seems to me that it has been changed."
Fu Yi's brows darkened, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He asked, "What do you think of my treatment of the Princess recently?"
"Of course she's perfect!" Wu Xun thought for a moment and added, "The master treated her very well in the past. Even though the Marquis's Mansion had committed such a serious offense, the master didn't hand her over to the Emperor for punishment. That's even better..."
"Then why doesn't she have any regrets? I just let her do what she wants." Fu Yi curled up his fingers.
"Why don't you feel any reluctance at all?"
"Why?"
"Why?"
He repeated this question slowly, over and over again, causing Wu Xun to shudder uncontrollably.

Cheng Nianying got up in the morning and straightened her clothes: "Is the weather cold?"
Mother Zou responded: "Yes."
She found it strange. She hadn't left yet. Did the Princess give up the idea?
It would be best if it could be cancelled.
At this time, a servant knocked on the door: "Princess, the wife of the Marquis of Wuning has arrived."
Mother Zou clenched her teeth and felt a little angry for no reason.
Why could the wife of Marquis Wuning come to visit?
I guess it’s the urging!
