Shumulu felt that her daughter was truly blessed to have married such a man who understood the hardships women faced.
"I am truly relieved that the Fourth Prince has such a kind heart. Since the Fourth Prince has said so, I am no longer in a hurry. However, you cannot be careless; you still need to take care of your health."
Tong Cheng'er smiled and nodded: "I will keep what Mother said in mind."
She knew her body was her own, so of course she wouldn't mistreat herself.
As the mother and daughter were talking, Granny Fu came in with a smile and announced, "Madam, the Fourth Prince has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Shumulu's smile widened even further.
She patted Tong Cheng'er's hand and said, "It seems that the Fourth Prince really can't bear to part with you for even a moment!"
Tong Cheng'er blushed: "Mother, how can you tease your daughter like that!"
Shumulu Shi: "Alright, alright, Mother won't say anymore."
Then she said to Granny Fu, "Quickly invite the Fourth Prince in."
She must treat such a good son-in-law well. As long as he treats her daughter well, she would treat the Fourth Prince like royalty.
The Fourth Prince entered shortly afterward.
"Greetings, Mother-in-law." As soon as Yinzhen entered, he began to bow and greet Shumulu.
Shumulu was very satisfied with him and said with a smile, "No need for formalities, please sit down and talk."
"Granny Fu, quickly bring tea."
Granny Fu: "Yes, Madam."
The tea was served, and Shumulu said with a smile, "The tea in our mansion is just average, not as good as the tea in your mansion."
My mother-in-law's tea is always the best.
"Mother-in-law, you flatter me. The tea is excellent."
"Okay, okay, as long as you don't find it unpleasant to drink."
"The Fourth Prince's unexpected visit today has prompted us to prepare for his arrival. We apologize for our rudeness."
Yinzhen: "It was too abrupt of your son-in-law to come to the door so suddenly. I hope you won't blame me, Mother-in-law."
Shumulu was even more satisfied.
Sitting to the side, Tong Cheng'er watched the two exchanging pleasantries and found it quite amusing, then burst out laughing.
Shumulu glared at her.
Yinzhen looked at her with doting eyes.
Tong Cheng'er immediately felt uneasy and said, "Mother, it's getting late. I'll come another day."
Shumulu looked at Yinzhen, then at her daughter. When she was talking to Yinzhen, his eyes had never left her daughter. How could she not know what he was thinking?
Although reluctant to part with her daughter, she knew she wouldn't be able to stay much longer, so she smiled and said, "That's fine too."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's lips curled up slightly.
She seems to be in a good mood.
The two left the Tong residence together, got into the carriage, and Tong Cheng'er asked him, "Why did you come here?"
Yinzhen glanced at her and said in a rather resentful tone, "If I hadn't come, you probably wouldn't have remembered to go back!"
Tong Cheng'er: Uh...
She desperately wanted to say with certainty that she remembered she needed to return home, but when she tried to speak, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
She really hadn't thought about going back to the manor.
Seeing her guilty look, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh: "You, why don't you ever think more about me?"
Tong Cheng'er scratched her head: "Don't I think about you?"
Yinzhen glared at her: "Ask yourself honestly, are you really thinking about this?"
Tong Cheng'er said uncertainly, "Think about it!"
Yinzhen looked at her suspiciously: "Thinking about it?"
Tong Cheng'er said confidently, "I'm definitely thinking about you."
"Oh, so Cheng'er is only thinking about me?"
"That's natural. How could I possibly think of anyone else but you?"
Yinzhen: "I see. But Cheng'er still keeps thinking about Third Sister-in-law, Fifth Sister-in-law, and your Sister Yingyu and Sister Shuyu."
With so many sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, where would he find a place?
Tong Cheng'er couldn't help but smile knowingly. There was something a little sour about what she was saying!
Where did you have lunch?
"Qianqing Palace".
"Did Father Emperor invite you to stay for a meal?"
Yinzhen nodded: "Today I went to report to Father Emperor, and Father Emperor invited me and my fifth brother to dine together."
"Is that so? Could it be that the imperial chef's hand slipped while preparing lunch today, and he poured in too much vinegar?"
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's face darkened: "What kind of talk is this?"
Tong Cheng'er burst into laughter.
Yinzhen was startled by her smile and suddenly leaned over.
Then, Tong Cheng'er's mouth was covered.
"Waaaaah..."
"You shake the nest..."
Yinzhen listened to her voice and wouldn't let go. A smile flashed in his eyes, and he tightened his grip, holding her even closer. As for his words, he became even more audacious.
Yinzhen kissed her passionately, and Tong Cheng'er was also made dizzy and dazed by him.
Then Su Peisheng's voice came: "Master, Madam, we've arrived."
Upon hearing this, Tong Cheng'er's eyes filled with tears, and she patted his chest.
"Ni Huai Huang Swoosh..."
Yinzhen then slowly released the person.
At this moment, Tong Cheng'er's face was rosy and her eyes were glistening with tears. She was incredibly charming and alluring, making Yinzhen's heart pound wildly.
Before she could speak, Yinzhen raised his hand and covered her eyes.
Tong Cheng'er exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
Yinzhen's voice was hoarse: "Don't speak yet, or you won't be able to get off the carriage."
Tong Cheng'er sensed something was wrong; why did that voice sound a little breathless?
"Are you...are you alright?"
Yinzhen did not answer. Suddenly, he put his hand down, then picked up her handkerchief, placed it on her face, and then carried her out of the carriage.
