"What about you? Are you worried too?" Xu Heming asked Li Zhiwei, but what he really wanted to know was whether Li Zhiwei would be just as worried about him if he disappeared.
"Of course I'm worried too," Li Zhiwei replied without hesitation.
Xu Heming smiled upon hearing this.
Li Zhiwei rolled her eyes, wondering what Xu Heming was laughing at.
As the group was talking, Chang Wenying, who was not far away, could not bear to see this heartwarming scene in the pavilion.
Li Zhiwei was just a lowly merchant's daughter, so why did she win the favor of Prince An?
Based on that slightly attractive face?
If Prince An knew that Li Zhiwei was a troublemaker, he probably wouldn't have married her.
Thinking of this, Chang Wenying walked smugly toward the pavilion where Li Zhiwei and the others were.
She was determined to expose the hypocritical face of this merchant woman today.
Then, she could introduce her younger sister from her maternal family to Prince An, and she would likely have more say in the Ninth Prince's residence.
Furthermore, since the Ninth Prince can speak to the Emperor, he will surely be even more grateful to me.
Thinking of this, Chang Wenying tidied her hair and walked towards Xu Heming.
Looking at the tall and straight Xu Heming, Chang Wenying couldn't help but secretly compare him to the Ninth Prince, who was over fifty years old.
The Ninth Prince is the current emperor's uncle. However, the Ninth Prince has no hobbies in his life. His greatest hobby is collecting beauties.
Therefore, he had long since exhausted himself.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been married into the Ninth Prince's mansion for six years and still not have a son to rely on.
Thinking of this, Chang Wenying looked at Xu Heming with a hint of greed.
She thought to herself, "I wish I could have such a strong man."
"Your Highness Prince An!" Chang Wenying deliberately softened her voice and called out to Xu Heming in a sweet voice.
Xu Heming, who had been having a pleasant conversation with Li Zhiwei, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He looked at the woman in the dress with a puzzled expression, but did not recognize who she was.
In the past, he only needed to handle the important matters ordered by the emperor and did not need to deal with aristocratic families. He did not understand the intricacies of those women's lives, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to get to know them.
And Chang Wenying, who was standing in front of him, was not one of those people in the capital that he absolutely needed to know.
After all, the Ninth Prince has already married several princesses.
Li Zhiwei raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Heming. She naturally knew that Chang Wenying's arrival at this time was not for good reasons.
However, she wanted to see how Xu Heming would react.
Xu Heming frowned, assuming that Chang Wenying wanted to rest in the pavilion, and pulled Li Zhiwei to try to find another place.
He is not used to being with strangers.
Xie Jincheng, who was standing to the side, also frowned. He knew this Ninth Princess Consort, but he didn't take her seriously.
After all, there are very few people in the entire capital who truly care about the Ninth Prince.
It was only because the emperor saw his incompetence that he kept him on as a special measure to demonstrate brotherly affection and respect.
"Your Highness Prince An is truly hard-working. He is already busy with countless affairs of state, but unfortunately, he also has a troublesome fiancée. You have to take time out of your busy schedule to clean up her messes." Chang Wenying looked at Xu Heming with affection in her eyes, while at the same time speaking words of slander against Li Zhiwei.
Upon hearing this, Madam Yao looked at Chang Wenying in disbelief, not understanding why she thought Miss Li had caused trouble.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei chuckled inwardly. She had naturally been watching Chang Wenying's every move.
