Chapter 40



The little round face shrank his neck and was speechless.

Both of them are living ancestors, neither of them can be afford to offend him.

Wei Junhang didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, and shouted angrily: "Get the carriage ready immediately!!"

The little round-faced woman was in great pain. She endured his anger and advised him, "My Lord, please calm down and think carefully. Who spread these rumors? What is the purpose? You rushed into the palace this time, and you didn't know if you didn't fall into someone's trap. If the news that the lady is still alive is leaked, wouldn't all our efforts over the years be in vain?"

Wei Junhang's chest rose and fell, and he tried hard to suppress his anger. After a long time, he suddenly kicked up and kicked the armchair in the room several feet away, hitting it heavily against the wall and falling down.

"Damn it! I owed that guy a lot in my last life, so I'm destined to take the blame for him in this life!"

The little round-faced man had already shrunk into a corner when he raised his legs. When he saw him walk away angrily, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had persuaded him.

"His ancestors are also your ancestors, right?" After a moment, he touched his nose and muttered, then resigned himself to picking up the broken armchair.

Somewhere in the palace.

Emperor Yuanyou suddenly sneezed, and the guard Heizi who had been standing by his side immediately said with concern: "It's cold at night, Your Majesty should take care of your health and remember to put on more clothes."

"It's okay, it's okay. I think it's Wei Junhang who is cursing me behind my back!" Emperor Yuanyou stroked his chin in thought, and then said happily, "I like to see him hate me to death, but he still has to take the blame for me!"

Heizi: “…”

So the Prince of Wei is the unlucky guy who has been taking the blame for the emperor since he was a child?

Suddenly I felt a little sympathy for Wei Daowandan. How many sins had he committed in his previous life?

Shaking his head to put these thoughts aside, he said with some worry: "Now that the news has even spread to Bali Hutong, I don't know how many eyes are watching. If someone finds out... wouldn't it be troublesome?"

"Or should we find a way to get the lady out first?"

Emperor Yuanyou frowned, and his right hand tapped the case unconsciously again and again. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Based on my understanding of that old man, he should have just been testing me this time. It was my negligence that allowed his people to discover my whereabouts, and I almost ruined the whole thing. But fortunately, Junhang happened to be in Bali Hutong at that time, so he became a scapegoat - well, he cleverly got away with it."

"Now that these rumors are spreading everywhere, it just proves that Junhang's disguise was successful."

"But in the end, the old thief was still worried and did this." Heizi frowned.

"The old man is suspicious by nature. He won't be completely relieved until he sees a satisfactory result. Once he believes that the person in Bali Hutong is just Junhang's mistress, then she will be truly safe. As for how to make the old man believe it next, it depends on Junhang's ability!" In this regard, Emperor Yuanyou said he was not worried at all.

Wei Junhang is a guy who can take the blame, play the fool, has a thick skin and a strict mouth. He is really the best choice!

"But if this happens, the prince will probably suffer a bit." Kuroko's voice was filled with an undisguised lightness.

Worry.

"Of course, we can't live in Bali Hutong anymore, but if we have to leave, we have to do it in a fair and aboveboard way so that no one will suspect us, so as to avoid any future troubles."

Emperor Yuanyou pursed his lips and pretended to cough: "Give him a few more boxes of that 'healing medicine' tomorrow morning. Although the British prince is old and has difficulty in moving, he still has the strength to beat people."

"Yes, I obey your command!" Heizi responded happily.

But Wei Dao'er was so angry that he hurried to find an explanation, but in the end he not only didn't even see the culprit, but also made himself angry in vain.

However, when the cool night wind blew towards him, he was startled and suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed something very important.

He frowned and stroked his chin as he pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh and cried out, "Oh no! I forgot about my wife!"

When he thought more carefully about what his wife said to him before he rushed out the door, he broke out in a cold sweat and groaned inwardly.

Damn it, he was really hurt by that guy this time! !

He didn't dare to delay any longer and rushed towards the Duke of England's mansion like a gust of wind...

When he returned to Funing Court, breathless, he found that the light in the main bedroom had been turned off. He knew that his wife must have gone to bed by then, and he was so anxious that he kept turning in circles.

If there is any misunderstanding between husband and wife, they must be clarified immediately and never dragged on!

After realizing this, he lifted the corner of his robe and was about to push the door open. When his hand touched the door, he suddenly thought of something and was stunned. Finally, he slowly withdrew his hand.

"Young Master?" Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Qiu Tang came out from inside. He was startled when he saw a dark figure standing outside the door, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he recognized it was him.

"Is the Madam asleep?" Wei Junhang asked in a low voice.

"Just fell asleep, Prince..."

"Just go to sleep, just go to sleep. I'll stay in the study tonight." After saying that, he left without waiting for Qiutang's reaction and without looking back.

"Sister Qiutang, Madam asked who you were talking to?" Chunliu, who was on duty at night, pushed the door open and asked.

Qiu Tang stared blankly at the direction where Wei Junhang disappeared. Instead of answering, she asked, "Madam is awake?"

"You woke up not long after you came out."

Qiu Tang thought for a moment and walked back into the room. As expected, she saw Shen Xinyan sitting in front of the bed in a long robe. When she saw her come in, she asked, "Who were you talking to outside just now?"

"It's the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince came back, probably wanting to come in to see the Madam. When he heard that the Madam had gone to bed, he left again." Qiu Tang did not hide it from her.

"The prince is back?" Shen Xinyan sat up straight at once.

"Where are they? Where did they go?"

"Into the study."

Shen Xinyan gathered her outer robe in disappointment and said, "Tell Mingshuang to serve her well."

"Madam, rest assured, Mingshuang will know what to do."

Qiu Tang thought for a moment, then walked over slowly and sat on the edge of the bed, whispering, "The prince has come back, which shows that it is just as I said before. There must be some hidden story. Madam is a smart person. You should know that the relationship between husband and wife cannot be easily hurt, but you must not damage the relationship between husband and wife because of a momentary anger."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Who is angry?!" Shen Xin retorted subconsciously.

"If Madam is not angry, why do you toss and turn for a long time and cannot fall asleep?" Qiu Tang asked with a smile.

Shen Xinyan turned her face away uncomfortably, and after a while she snorted, "He wants to have a concubine, but can't he allow me to feel angry? What kind of logic is this?!"

Although he said this, he finally took Qiutang's words to heart, and his mood instantly improved a lot.

Yes, they are a couple for one life, no, two lives, so if there is anything to say, it is better to ask clearly in person. Moreover, now that she calms down and thinks carefully, Wei Junhang's expression was a little strange when she first asked about the extramarital affair.

At first he was angry, but that anger was not like the anger of being exposed, but the anger of being wronged. But then his attitude changed, and the topic he asked about was "Bali Hutong".

This gave her a feeling that he was more nervous and concerned about "Bali Hutong" than "the mistress". Could it be that "Bali Hutong" was hiding something more important than "the mistress"?

Only after she understood this did she calm down. At the same time, she suddenly realized that she knew very little about her husband, with whom she had slept for more than ten years, except for his reputation as a playboy.

"Qiutang, change your clothes!" With something on her mind, she could no longer fall asleep and gave the order loudly.

Qiu Tang responded crisply, helped her change clothes quickly, and tied her hair into a simple bun. After thinking for a while, she was still worried, so she took out the cloak and put it on her.

"It's windy at night, please put on some clothes, madam!"

Shen Xinyan's heart had already flown to the study. Upon hearing this, she just said "hmm" and hurriedly walked out, picking up her skirt.

In the study, Wei Junhang stepped back, washed his hands and face with warm water, and sat in front of the desk with a frown, thinking carefully about what had happened in the past few days.

Three days ago, he took the Bali Hutong route for convenience, but unexpectedly he saw his cousin the emperor dressed like an ordinary citizen on the way. Just as he was hesitating whether he should pretend not to see him and continue on his way, he discovered that a suspicious man was following not far behind his cousin the emperor. In addition, his cousin secretly gestured to him, and his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood.

In my heart, I cursed this guy for causing trouble again. He came to see me half a month ago, why did he get impatient and come again? It's rare to see that there is no such thing as a one-sided or two-sided issue. When the matter is done, the phoenix will return to its nest, and you can cling to me as you please!

As for later...

Wei Junhang let out a long sigh and then covered his face.

What on earth was he thinking at that time, that he actually agreed to Heizi's bad idea and ended up with this situation where 'the cousin was discovered to have a mistress by his cousin, and then begged his cousin to keep it a secret'.

Well, it was indeed a reason for the emperor’s cousin to appear in Bali Hutong, but his ancestors suffered the consequences themselves!!

What's worse is that in order to convince the other party, he really has to make the best of a bad situation! Only in this way can the other party completely lose the opportunity to explore Bali Hutong.

"My Lord, the Madam is here!" Just as he was sinking into deep self-loathing, he saw the Madam, who was supposed to have gone to bed, walking towards the study with Qiu Tang.

"Why are you here? It's windy at night. What if you catch a cold?" He hurriedly pulled Shen Xinyan into the house, with a hint of blame in his voice.

Seeing him so nervous, Shen Xinyan's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.

"You came back but refused to look for me, so I have to come look for you." She said with a smile.
