"Greetings to mother, may mother be blessed with good health," Yinzhen saluted.
"Get up," Defei's voice was light, completely devoid of the tenderness and joy just now.
Even though Concubine De was indifferent to Yinzhen, they were mother and son after all. Jiang Ranli felt that it was inappropriate for her to stand there while they were talking, so she found an excuse to leave.
Standing in the small garden of Yonghe Palace, Jiang Ranli looked around, wondering when Yinzhen and the Fourteenth Prince would come back.
"Why didn't you see me yesterday?"
Just as Jiang Ranli was staring at a blooming aster in a trance, a slightly cold voice sounded from behind her, startling her back to her senses instantly.
Turning around, she saw Yinzhen standing beside her, looking at her with a calm expression.
"Good luck to the Fourth Master." Jiang Ranli was in the palace at the moment, with countless eyes watching him. He didn't dare to be rude at all.
"Auspicious? If you really want me to be auspicious, then tell me why you didn't come to see me yesterday," Yinzhen said.
Why didn't I go to see him yesterday? Needless to say, it was to avoid suspicion.
Jiang Ranli silently complained, what is her relationship with Yinzhen? That is the relationship between uncle and brother's wife, how can they meet casually? Besides, a lot of things have happened between them, and meeting him makes Jiang Ranli feel awkward and nervous.
However, although he thought so, Jiang Ranli did not dare to say it out loud. He calmed himself down and said, "Something happened at home yesterday, so I didn't go to pay my respects to you, Fourth Master."
"I don't like to hear lies," Yinzhen ruthlessly exposed her excuse.
Jiang Ranli pursed his lips, thinking that it was really hard to fool him, "First, there are family matters, and second, you and I are of different statuses, so it's not a good idea to meet casually."
Hearing this, Yinzhen's brows twitched slightly, a complex look flashed across his cold eyes, and his big hands behind his back tightened slightly.
"You clearly saw me yesterday, but you didn't come forward to greet me. This was rude. I didn't intend to meet you, so how could you say it was casual?"
Listening to Yinzhen's words, Jiang Ranli felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Yinzhen stared at her with a stunned expression, a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his lips, but the complex look in his eyes did not disappear.
He felt very complicated. He had liked her three years ago. Although the situation was no longer the same as it was three years ago, he still couldn't let her go.
Thinking of how Jiang Ranli had once promised to stay with him, Yinzhen's heart tightened a little. If she hadn't escaped, she would really be by his side now. Maybe they would have a child as cute as little Rouqiu. Maybe they came to Yonghe Palace today to pay their respects to Concubine De together.
Ever since he met Jiang Ranli again in Jinan and learned that the little boy was her and Yinzhen's child, Yinzhen has been trying to convince himself to let it go and control himself from thinking about her, but he always fails miserably.
Until now, Yinzhen still couldn't understand why Jiang Ranli would rather choose Yin'er than him. He could give her the same things that Yin'er could give her.
"Li'er, thank you."
When Jiang Ranli didn't know how to respond to Yinzhen's words, his unique clear voice came into her ears.
"Thank me?" Jiang Ranli didn't know where Yinzhen came from in thanking her.
"Thank you for visiting and guiding the Thirteenth Prince." Speaking of the Thirteenth Prince, Yinzhen was filled with a deep loneliness.
Among his many brothers, Thirteen had the closest relationship with him. Now that Thirteen was imprisoned in the mansion, he was the only one left.
