A street vendor testified that He Huanhuan's face turned pale, her body was shaking slightly, and she was in a panic.

"You're talking nonsense!!"

When passers-by saw the situation change drastically, some of those who were already dissatisfied with He Huanhuan's behavior bravely stood up and agreed.

He Huanhuan was already feeling guilty, so she naturally had no way to defend herself. She was now afraid that this matter would get bigger and bigger, and that everyone in the capital would know about it. By then, her reputation would be completely ruined. How could she marry the noble Prince An?

"Miss He, you have nothing to say, but you have acquiesced?" Jingzhao Yin asked sternly.

"You, you... you Xiao family are bullying others by taking advantage of your power! I..."

He Huanhuan's eyes kept rolling. She wanted to escape from this place immediately, but since Xiao Yunyan had called Jingzhao Yin here, he didn't think of letting her go so easily. He looked at Jingzhao Yin, who understood. The He family, which had just been named an imperial merchant, was not enough for him to offend Xiao Yunyan because of them, and it was He Huanhuan's fault in the first place.

"Could it be that Miss He did not intentionally destroy other people's property and frame them?"

Jingzhao Yin shouted at her, and He Huanhuan was startled. Because there were guards there, she couldn't run away, and could only stand there anxiously. But this matter was not a big deal, and Jingzhao Yin couldn't just arrest the person and put him in jail. He thought for a moment before he spoke tentatively:

"I will send Miss He back to the He Mansion and inform Mr. He of the whole incident. The compensation money will also be sent to the peddler."

Xiao Yunyan didn't think about doing anything to He Huanhuan because of this, so he wasn't surprised to hear Jingzhao Yin say that.

"Lord Kong is the chief official of the capital. It's up to him to decide on this matter."

After that, Xiao Yunyan took out another silver ingot from his sleeve and gave it to the peddler, saying, "You have suffered an unexpected disaster today. This silver is just to comfort you."

This ingot of silver was worth more than all his other things put together. The peddler was naturally delighted and took it and spoke kindly to Xiao Yunya, wishing he could describe her as a fairy from heaven.

Xiao Yunya was originally angry because of He Huanhuan, but she couldn't help laughing after hearing the peddler's constant praise. Xiao Yunrou watched He Huanhuan being forced to go to He's house by the yamen runners, her eyes cold, and whispered to Qingci.

"Spread what happened today and don't let anyone find out."

If the He family wanted to climb the ladder, they had to be lucky. The He family's becoming the royal merchant had blocked the financial path of many merchants. As long as there was a little bit of leverage, those who wanted to bring the He family down would have many ways to do it.

The He family is just a small fish and shrimp. There was no such person in the previous life. Now seeing that they will not last long if they behave like this, such a family is not worth her efforts. As long as they give their opponents some handles, someone will take care of them. Xiao Yunrou smiled at her sister's calm face.

After returning home, Xiao Yunrou handed Xiao Yunyan's jade ring to Luyi and asked her to do what she had planned. As for what happened to He Huanhuan after she was sent back to He's house by the people of Jingzhao Yinfu, it was not her concern.

A few days later, Pei Ling took a bath.

"It's a rare day that the snow and wind have stopped today. Let's go to mother's yard for breakfast later. I'll take you out for a walk." Pei Lingfeng said with a smile.

Xiao Yunrou also squinted her eyes and smiled in response. When they arrived at Zhining Garden, Xiao Yunrou saw that Zhuang's face was very good, and Zhuang did not hide it and whispered to Xiao Yunrou.

"I won't hide it from you, sister-in-law. I'm a month pregnant."

Although it is not appropriate to show the baby outside before the baby is three months pregnant, everyone here is family and the two have a good relationship, so Zhuang told them about it.

Xiao Yunrou was happy for Zhuang when she saw the bright smile on her face that came from the bottom of her heart.

"Congratulations. You're still a little bit pregnant so you have to be careful. I'll have Madam Su prepare a pamphlet on pregnancy precautions and send it to you. I'll also have the kitchen change your food to something suitable for pregnant women."

When Zhuang heard this, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly thanked him. Xiao Yunrou just smiled at Zhuang's happy face. She remembered that in her previous life, although Zhuang didn't cause the farce of having a concubine get pregnant, she was pregnant at about this time. Unfortunately, her baby was a girl, and she never got pregnant again. She took a concubine's child and raised it under her knees.

However, Xiao Yunrou changed her mind and realized that there had not been such a farce in the third house before, but things had changed in this life. Perhaps the fate of the Zhuang family would also change?

Just like in the previous life, Shen only casually praised Zhuang's pregnancy and passed it over, but she asked a lot of questions about Pei Lingfeng's three children. Zhuang knew her mother-in-law's temper and didn't care. Pei Lingzhi was not her biological child, so she was thankful that she was not treated harshly or oppressed. However, Pei Lingzhi was not as open-minded as Zhuang. He looked at Shen and Pei Lingfeng gloomily. He had had enough of Shen's cold treatment of him for many years and the days when he had no sense of existence in the Marquis' Mansion.

After they finished their breakfast, Zhuang wanted to ask Xiao Yunrou some questions about the children, but was told that the couple was going out. Xiao Yunrou returned to the courtyard and asked someone to prepare a gift. She also asked Su Ma to prepare the things she promised Zhuang and then she went out with Pei Lingfeng.

The plum blossoms are in full bloom in winter, and there is a plum forest in the suburbs of Beijing that is very popular. This place was originally the villa of King Zhuang. After he failed in his rebellion and was killed, the villa was taken back by the previous emperor. Until now, the villa has gradually fallen into disrepair. However, because the plum blossom forest here is very beautiful, the current emperor ordered the plum blossom forest to be opened to the public in winter after he ascended the throne, which aroused a lot of praise.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Pei Lingfeng helped Xiao Yunrou get off the carriage. Although this place is open to everyone, most civilians rarely come here. So the two of them saw a lot of familiar faces. After saying hello, Pei Lingfeng took Xiao Yunrou's hand and walked inside.

The deeper you go, the more plum blossoms there are, and the fragrance of plum blossoms is all around, refreshing. The cold wind is rippling, because the morning mist gradually dissipates the coldness and gradually dissipates under the sun. After a night of frost, the plum blossom branches are glittering with crystals, dazzling and dazzling.

Xiao Yunrou likes plum blossoms, especially the plum forest with many varieties. Just the few black plum trees make her happy. Although Pei Lingfeng is not as pedantic as those literati who write poems and paint as soon as they arrive at the plum forest, he is also happy in the face of such beautiful scenery.

A breeze blew by, and petals fell slowly. Xiao Yunrou reached out to catch them, with a serene smile on her face, just like the goddess in the painting. Pei Lingfeng stared at Xiao Yunrou without blinking, and reached out to brush away the petals that fell in her hair. Xiao Yunrou turned around and smiled at him. The two of them were so harmonious and warm, so beautiful that no one could bear to disturb them.

Pei Lingfeng knew that his wife was very beautiful, but in his previous life, he had never carefully observed her every smile, every movement, and every action. He could not help but feel lucky that he was back. Xiao Yunrou now attracted his attention and aroused his strong possessive desire.

Pei Lingfeng was not the only one who was infatuated. There was also a man who was looking at Xiao Yunrou infatuatedly under the cover of the plum blossoms. If Pei Lingfeng had not been guarding by her side, and every move he made was extremely intimate, he would have definitely stepped forward to meet the beauty and express his true feelings.

Pei Lingfeng noticed that sight and turned his head to look, but he found nothing. His face, which was originally gentle, was full of coldness. Xiao Yunrou didn't notice it, but she saw Pei Lingfeng's face change suddenly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pei Lingfeng shook his head, "Nothing."

Although Xiao Yunrou was curious, she found nothing when she followed Pei Lingfeng's gaze, so she put the matter aside.

"If we are well prepared when we go out, we can still make tea and play the zither in this plum forest, which will not be a waste of such a beautiful scenery."

Pei Lingfeng knew that Xiao Yunrou was very good at tea ceremony and playing the zither. In those days, Xiao Yunrou's song Guangling San astonished many people, and until today, no one could match her.

"I'm afraid it's too late today, but the Marquis's Mansion also has a few plum trees. Although it doesn't have the beauty of this courtyard, if Rou'er wants to make tea and play the zither, your husband is willing to accompany you."

Xiao Yunrou smiled and said, "You said it, don't forget it today. The end of the year is coming soon, and you will be busy. I may not see you at the hour of Hai."

Pei Lingfeng burst out laughing. When had he ever broken his promise to her in his life?

"No, I will definitely do what I promised you. If I can't do it, will Rouer punish me?"

Xiao Yunrou raised her eyebrows, and Pei Lingfeng whispered in her ear: "I got a booklet a few days ago. If Rouer likes it, I have to do all those poses?"

Xiao Yunrou was stunned, and immediately thought of what that booklet was. She glared at Pei Lingfeng hatefully with her beautiful eyes. This man was becoming more and more out of control. He was actually thinking about that matter all the time. Where did his previous indifference go?

Pei Lingfeng saw that Xiao Yunrou was a little annoyed and didn't bother her. The arc of his mouth showed that he was in a very good mood. However, after a while, the good mood of the two was broken.

"Prince Pei, Madam Prince."

Looking at Dou Jingshu walking towards her, Xiao Yunrou's eyes flashed with coldness. She did not forget that this woman actually bribed the servants in her yard to pass on messages to her. Although she was sure that the messages were irrelevant to the pain, it still made her unbearable.

"My mother held a banquet yesterday and invited the Crown Prince's wife, but you didn't come. My mother and I were very sad for a while."

Dou Jingshu didn't get annoyed when she saw that both of them ignored her, and continued talking to herself.

"I originally thought that the Crown Prince's wife was not feeling well and could not come. But today, when I saw you and the Crown Prince strolling in the garden, I realized that I was overthinking."

Dou Jingshu's voice was not loud, but everyone around could hear it clearly. Xiao Yunrou smiled slightly. Provoking her in public?

"I am the wife in charge of the Zhongfu, and the end of every year is the busiest time. The Marquis's Mansion is large and powerful, and with my dowry, it will take more than half a month to prepare it. I really don't have time. But I had someone prepare a gift and send it to the Dou Mansion to inform them. How come Madam Dou didn't receive the news?"
