Soon, Feng Yu and a not very tall man walked in together. Xiao Li's eyes glanced at Feng Yu and then fell on the man with ordinary looks.
Although she had never met him, she knew a lot about him.
He Changyu, 26 years old, is the eldest son of the third-rate He family. He currently works in the Ministry of Revenue as a fourth-rank clerk.
Ten years ago, Feng Yin's father died at the hands of bandits. It was the master of the He family and his legitimate son He Changyu who discovered the death. The father and son sent Feng's father's body back, and since then the He family and the Feng family have been connected.
In order to repay the He family for collecting the corpse, Mr. Feng promised the eleven-year-old Feng Yu to He Changyu. After Feng Yu turned sixteen, the two got married.
He Changyu has an ordinary appearance, but he looks honest and simple, dutiful, good to his wife, and respectful to the Feng family. Although he is not an outstanding person, he is down-to-earth and steady in his work, and is able to endure hardships in officialdom and never complains.
In addition, he has a very likable characteristic. He is selectively sweet-mouthed and doesn't like to talk in front of outsiders, but if his wife is mentioned, he will talk a lot, his eyes are full of love for his wife, and he uses all kinds of praise, protection and praise. No matter who mentions him, they all say that he is a good man who loves his wife.
Others praised him as a good man, Feng Yu loved him as a good husband, and the Feng family was extremely satisfied with him.
Even though he was hanging out with that group of bad friends, the Feng family felt that those people were the ones who led He Changyu astray. However, He Changyu had not been led astray by them, and his character was commendable.
Apart from his appearance, this person is absolutely perfect.
He was quite perfect, but he probably didn't expect that Xiao Li, who had no connection with him at all, would investigate him, and use people from Lou Yan, the eunuch who held the seal of the palace.
"Feng Yu has met Princess Xuan Yang."
"Your servant He Changyu greets the princess."
While Xiao Li was thinking, the two men had already walked up to her and saluted. She came back to her senses and raised her hand slightly: "No need to be polite, sit down."
Feng Yu looked at Feng Yin, then at Xiao Li, and belatedly asked, "Did we disturb you?"
Feng Yin had a stern face and didn't want to answer her.
Xiao Li didn't mind: "Not really, it's more lively when there are more people."
Feng Yu was about to sit next to Xiao Li. He Changyu did not go directly to the opposite seat, but gently took her in his arms and waited until she sat down before going to his own seat.
Xiao Li raised an eyebrow: "You're so nervous, is there something happy going on?"
Feng Yu's expression darkened upon hearing this, and she forced a smile. "No, it's just that my husband is too worried about me. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Princess."
He Changyu immediately coaxed her: "Yuanyuan, don't worry, we will have it soon."
Yuanyuan is Fengyu's nickname, but Xiao Li remembered that this era was not yet open enough to call one's wife by her maiden name in front of strangers they had just met, right?
Is this the depth of love, or a lack of respect?
Xiao Li raised his eyebrows playfully and asked casually, "You've been married for five years, right?"
Feng Yu nodded: "It's been more than five years, but there has been no news. I've taken a lot of medicine, but nothing has worked."
He Changyu immediately said helplessly: "It's not destined yet, there's no need to rush it."
Seeing this look of doting, heartache and helplessness, who wouldn't think that he loves his wife terribly?
But is it because fate has not yet arrived that you are not in a hurry, or is it because something has already happened outside that you are not panicking?
He Changyu's histrionic personality could only deceive the ancient people. In Xiao Li's eyes, especially after knowing the truth, it was painful to look at him any longer.
I turned to look at Feng Yin and prepared to wash my eyes, but saw that he had his head down, his face puffed up, and he was as angry as a pufferfish.
Xiao Li laughed out loud immediately. Is this all a fourth-rank official of the dynasty can do?
"Why is the princess with my brother?"
The person asking the question was He Changyu. Xiao Li didn't even look at him. She just slowly picked up the fruit tea and took a sip. After finishing it and putting the cup down, she glanced at him and said, "Are you asking this princess?"
That cold gaze was devoid of warmth and contempt, as if he had seen something disgusting.
He Changyu's expression froze. The majestic and fierce presence finally made him realize that the person before him was a princess. He quickly stood up and said, "I have spoken carelessly. Please forgive me, Princess."
Feng Yu quickly stood up: "Princess, please forgive me."
Xiao Li waved his hand: "Sit down and don't block your view."
The two looked at each other and sat down. Seeing that Xiao Li was listening carefully to the voices below, neither of them dared to say a word.
Feng Yu secretly looked at Xiao Li and felt that the current princess looked so strange. She had never seen her like this before.
Could it be that her husband was not good at speaking and offended someone? But her husband didn't say anything?
She looked at her younger brother and signaled to him with her eyes: What's wrong with the princess?
How would Feng Yin know? He wasn't in a good mood either.
Just now, there were only Xiao Li and Feng Yin here, occasionally talking to each other, and the atmosphere was not lively, but harmonious. Now, the four of them had reached freezing point.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Li suddenly said, "I'm tired. I'm going back."
She stood up and left. Feng Yu's eyes were blank. Only Feng Yin hurriedly followed her: "I'll take the princess back."
When Xiao Li reached the door, he raised his hand to stop Feng Yin from following him. He leaned closer to him under his puzzled gaze, watched his ears turn red instantly, and then he closed his eyes shyly.
“…”What are you thinking about?
"House No. 32, Goldfish Lane, South Street. Have someone check it out. There might be a surprise."
When Feng Yin opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Li walking away. Thinking about what he had been expecting when he closed his eyes just now, his cheeks suddenly turned red.
Feng Yu came over and said, "Tangtang, what happened to the princess? Your brother-in-law didn't say anything, so why is the princess angry?"
He Changyu came over and frowned: "Why are you with the princess? It would be bad if people knew about this, a man and a woman alone."
The warmth on Feng Yin's face vanished completely, and he returned to the prim and reserved look Xiao Li was familiar with. He said expressionlessly, "Our carriage broke down years ago, and thanks to the princess, mother was able to return to the city as quickly as possible. I'm accompanying the princess today to express my gratitude. Is there anything wrong?"
Feng Yu thought it was fine, but He Changyu disagreed: "That princess has a bad reputation and is a widow who killed her husband. You are the son of the Feng family. How can you be associated with her?"
"I forbid you to speak of that, Princess."
Feng Yin had a cold face and for the first time vehemently retorted to his brother-in-law: "Who I am with is my business, it's none of your business!"
Feng Yin chased downstairs, leaving He Changyu standing there stiffly.
Feng Yu quickly advised, "Husband, don't be angry. My brother was just saying that out of anger. Don't take it to heart."
A haze flashed across He Changyu's eyes, but he simply lowered his head calmly, looking at his beloved wife with tenderness in his eyes, and said with worry: "How could I be angry with him? Your brother is my biological brother. I am just worried about him, afraid that he will go astray. He is the only hope of the Feng family."
Feng Yu smiled and said, "You are just too worried. You didn't understand the princess since it's your first time meeting her. She is actually a very good person. She has helped my brother many times and would not harm him."
He Changyu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "That would be great if that's the case."
