That night, Prince Rong had a strange dream. In the dream, a girl covered in blood reached out to him for help.
She called him "Father King"!
However, the girl's face clearly did not resemble his good daughter at all!
Prince Rong felt strange.
When I woke up the next day, the girl's face was still clear.
He was lost in thought.
That face was very similar to another face in his memory.
He vaguely felt that maybe, that girl was really his daughter?
He couldn't help but draw the face of the girl in his dream.
The more I looked at it, the more I felt that this was how I and that man's daughter should look like.
But……
Prince Rong was puzzled, so he called his eldest son and handed him the portrait: "Go and check this person."
Prince Rong looked at the person in the portrait and wondered, "Father, this is..."
"Don't worry about it, find the person first!"
These words made Prince Rong even more suspicious.
My father has always been a romantic man. Has he fallen in love with a new woman and asked me to find one for her?
Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with his father taking a concubine, it made him, a prince, feel aggrieved to find someone for his father!
After leaving his father's study, Prince Rong unfolded the painting and took a closer look at it.
I have to say, the girl in the portrait is really pretty.
But, isn't this age too young?
She looks not much different from Rouer.
Just as I thought of this, I heard my sister's soft voice: "Brother, what are you looking at?"
A little head came over, looking curious.
When she saw the person in the portrait, a hint of panic flashed across Xin Rou's eyes.
Why is Big Brother holding this person's portrait? Did they discover something?
Prince Rong did not notice Xin Rou's uneasiness. He rolled up the portrait casually.
"Nothing, just a little girl. You're dressed up so beautifully, where are you going?"
His original intention was not to let his sister's ears be polluted by those dirty things, but from what Xin Rou heard, it seemed that they had already become suspicious.
Xin Rou suppressed her uneasiness and smiled innocently: "Brother Jing asked me to go boating on the lake."
"No wonder she's dressed so beautifully! Go ahead! Be safe. Come back soon."
Prince Rong made a joke and gave a few more instructions.
Xin Rou blushed and nodded in agreement.
However, all day long, she kept replaying the portrait in her mind, as well as her elder brother's eagerness when he put it away.
Seeing that she was always distracted, Ye Jing looked at her with concern: "Xin Rou, are you okay?"
"Huh?" She looked up in confusion.
Ye Jing looked at her strangely: "Everyone is waiting for you! What's wrong with you? You have been absent-minded all day? Did something happen?"
"No, it's okay." Xin Rou shook her head hurriedly.
"I just feel a little under the weather. Sorry to disturb everyone's fun."
"Are you feeling unwell? Then shall I take you home first?"
As Ye Jing spoke, he was already about to get up.
Xin Rou hurriedly shook her head: "No need. Thank you, Brother Jing. I can go back by myself. Brother Jing, continue playing. Goodbye."
As she spoke, she bowed and couldn't wait to get out of the pleasure boat.
She got on the carriage and asked the driver to take her back to the Xin family.
Because of the grace of raising her, Prince Rong's Mansion was grateful to the Xin family and did not prevent Xin Rou from interacting with the Xin family.
As soon as Xin Rou left, everyone in the pleasure boat relaxed, and some even couldn't help but complain about Ye Jing:
"Brother Jing, can you please not bring such an eyesore next time? You keep calling me brother all the time, as if you think I'm stupid enough not to see through her little tricks!"
Most of the children of meritorious families have been accustomed to the open and secret struggles in the backyard since childhood.
They know many of the tricks of those women by heart.
The demeanor and tone Xin Rou used when speaking to them were exactly the same as those concubines in their father's backyard used to say to their father!
The only difference is probably that this woman's appetite seems a little too big!
Ye Jing raised his glass and drank one himself.
A hint of bitterness appeared on his usually gentle face: "How can I decide these things?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
If all these people can get together, who can be free at home?
The early death of their biological mother made them experience the warmth and coldness of the world earlier than others.
"Fortunately, Brother Jing will soon be free! It's a happy occasion! Come, let's have a drink!"
Everyone raised their glasses.
The wine in the glass tastes bitter in my throat.
But how could they be as miserable as they are?
They were smiling and joking on their faces, but only they knew the bitterness in their hearts.
Ye Jing just smiled bitterly. Get rid of?
It's just that he has become a puppet with a higher status!

Xin Guoguo created a dream for Prince Rong and put the matter aside for the time being.
She believed that with Xin Rou's personality, she would definitely be able to come up with something.
All she has to do is wait for good news!
When the seven days were up, the emperor would come to Yong'an Palace almost every day.
However, Xin Guoguo firmly opposed letting him stay overnight.
This man is too clingy. It would be terrible if he hurt her child!
The little fur ball smacked his lips, cracked some melon seeds, and said:
[Master, are you afraid you won't be able to resist temptation? I have some lust-killing pills here, would you like some?]
Xin Guoguo curled her lips: "My self-control is not that bad!"
