"No need, Mr. Jian, I can go back by myself." Fang Qingyue bowed slightly and politely rejected Jian Yanzhi's kindness.
Fang Qingyue and Fang Chiyue were about to leave when they stepped on a small wooden stick left by someone.
The stick was round and heavy, and when you stepped on it, it fell directly to the ground.
For a moment, Fang Chiyue panicked and prepared to use her body as a cushion for Fang Qingyue.
She is pregnant with a baby!
However, before Fang Chiyue could pounce on her, Jian Yanzhi took a step ahead of her and supported Fang Chiyue's waist.
His action was not presumptuous; he was simply worried that Fang Qingyue would fall. Once Fang Qingyue had regained her footing, he quickly withdrew his hand and said gently, "Miss Fang, be careful."
Fang Qingyue patted her chest fearfully and said, "Thank you so much for what you did today."
"You're welcome. Miss Fang has helped me a lot today. If your clinic didn't have so many patients, I wouldn't have been able to find those things."
He was smiling, and he was very gentle and polite, and his words were sincere. His fair and delicate face showed an especially sincere expression.
At the same time, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Fang Qingyue."
Hearing this, Fang Qingyue and Jian Yanzhi turned around at the same time and saw Shen Yuhan standing behind them.
He was wearing a black robe and had a rather unhappy expression on his face.
He saw the scene clearly and wanted to come over to support Fang Qingyue, but he didn't expect that Jian Yanzhi got there first.
After he finished his official duties today, he came to pick up Fang Qingyue, but he didn't expect that Fang Qingyue had such a good relationship with Jian Yanzhi. His face was gloomy for a moment.
Jian Yanzhi was a little surprised when he hurried to Fang Qingyue's side.
"Your Highness, this is Jian Yanzhi, the adopted son of the Grand Tutor, and also a friend I recently made." Fang Qingyue introduced the two of them.
"I actually know the prince." Jian Yanzhi bowed and saluted. He noticed that Shen Yuhan and Fang Qingyue had an unusual relationship, and asked curiously, "I wonder what the relationship is between Miss Fang and the prince?"
Fang Qingyue silently clenched her palms.
Shen Yuhan and Liu Yunyun were already engaged, so it was hard for her to explain why she was not in the right position. "The prince saved me several times before, and now we can barely be considered friends."
friend?
Shen Yuhan's face suddenly turned gloomy.
These days, he spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on various small gadgets alone, not to mention other things.
Who would do this for someone they could only consider a friend?
Doesn't Fang Qingyue have any sincerity towards him at all?
Thinking of this, he became extremely angry and left.
Fang Qingyue didn't know what made him so angry, but she had no choice but to apologize to Jian Yanzhi in a low voice, then turned around and hurriedly caught up.
Jian Yanzhi could sense something was amiss between Fang Qingyue and Shen Yuhan.
Although he was a scholar who stayed in his room all day and rarely went out, he also understood some of the ways of the world. Thinking of Shen Yuhan's vague hostility, Jian Yanzhi went to ask Sheng Yongming after returning to the Taifu Mansion.
"You stay at home all day, so you probably don't know what's going on outside. Some people say that Miss Fang is Shen Yuhan's concubine." Sheng Yongming couldn't help but snort coldly. "Some time ago, someone in the court impeached Shen Yuhan because of this matter."
He was somewhat disdainful of this.
To him, Shen Yuhan was indeed a bit of a bad person, but he was also very concerned about the affairs of the court.
As long as he is good to the people, he is a good official. Does his reputation really matter?
"However, Shen Yuhan has been discussing marriage with the Minister of Revenue's daughter, Liu Yunyun, recently. I'm afraid he'll break up with Fang Qingyue soon. But why are you asking this?"
Jian Yanzhi's fair face was stained a little red.
He lowered his head and spoke after a long pause, "Miss Fang is gentle, knowledgeable, and neither humble nor overbearing. Father, if I tell you that I like her, will you be angry?"
"Why are you angry?" Sheng Yongming stroked his beard and said, "I see Fang Qingyue is also very satisfied. If you really like her, then treat her well."
He firmly grasped Jian Yanzhi's hand and said gently, "But, I must first clarify two points. She is the daughter of a guilty minister, and she has been someone else's mistress. You are now aware of these two points, so you cannot treat her harshly because of them."
He is not like those old people in Beijing who care about other people's this and that.
Fang Qingyue is beautiful, gentle, and well-educated, which is enough to compensate for his stupid son.
Jian Yanzhi's cheeks flushed for a moment, and even the corners of his eyes were stained with a light red: "Child, I understand."
Shen Yu walked forward angrily, Fang Qingyue followed behind him and reached out to pull his sleeve.
"Your Highness..." She whispered softly, coaxing him, "What are you angry about?"
Hearing this, Shen Yu looked at her coldly and got on the carriage.
She was heavy and clumsy, and after two attempts she failed to get up. Fang Chiyue was too young to pull her out.
Chi Feng originally wanted to lend a hand, but Shen Yuhan suddenly stuck his head out of the carriage and carried Fang Qingyue in.
Fang Qingyue sat in the carriage, still pulling Shen Yuhan's sleeve to coax him: "Prince, please don't be angry, okay?"
"Why don't you agree with Jian Yan and be with me?" Shen Yuhan's face was so ugly that it was almost distorted, but he still said awkwardly.
"Is the prince jealous?" Fang Qingyue felt helpless for a moment.
Men are like this. They can accept having three wives and four concubines outside, but they can never accept his woman having any idea of having a close relationship with other people.
Thinking this way, Fang Qingyue didn't say it out loud. "Your Highness, you hold a special status in the capital, and as the head of the Inspectorate, you must be impartial. After all, I am the daughter of a criminal. Before my father clears his name, being too close to you will always be looked down upon. I really don't want anyone to misunderstand me."
She spoke so eloquently that Shen Yuhan felt relieved. "Why would I be jealous of Jian Yanzhi?"
He gently pinched Fang Qingyue's chin, leaned over and bit Fang Qingyue's lips hard.
The two kissed all the way to the door of the mansion, with crystal clear liquid between their lips and tongues.
After the carriage stopped, Shen Yuhan picked up Fang Qingyue without hesitation and walked towards the side courtyard.
He moved very quickly, and after putting Fang Qingyue on the bed, he pressed down on her.
Having not had sex for a long time, Fang Qingyue's body was indeed clamoring for Shen Yuhan to get closer, but she thought of the children in the mansion and stopped Shen Yuhan's movements: "Prince, no."
Shen Yuhan stood up and looked at Fang Qingyue: "Just once."
"Your Highness, I've seen many patients today. I'm really tired and can't muster the energy to do this." Fang Qingyue bit her lip, trying to cover up the lie, not wanting Shen Yuhan to know that she was pregnant. "If you really need it, I can help you with my hands."
"Don't I have hands? Do I need you to help me with your hands?" Shen Yuhan was furious for a moment and walked away.
Fang Qingyue lay on the bed for a long time before she sighed helplessly.
