Xie Yunzheng, with a gloomy face, was hit hard.
Yongjia's words deeply hurt his heart.
For such a long time, he didn't think about their daily time together, and didn't dare to think whether she would fall in love with Xie Yunzhao.
She had no choice but to numb herself and persuade herself.
But she just said with her own mouth that Xie Yunzhao was her man.
Does she know how cruel this sentence is to him?
He took a few deep breaths in the yard and finally calmed down a little. Suddenly he remembered why Xie Yunzhao came out so quickly.
It's only been a short time since he returned home, and his father has let him go so easily?
No, dad must punish him severely!
He walked quickly into the study and said, "Dad, my second brother caused such a big disaster this time, and you just said a few words to let it go?"
Duke Lu waved at him as he saw him coming: "Yun Zheng is here just in time. Yun Zhao had no choice this time. He found out that someone was causing the trouble on purpose, and it is very likely to be detrimental to us. Father is about to send someone to investigate."
Xie Yunzheng was shocked. No, he couldn't let his father know that he arranged this. "Dad, I'll send someone to check it out."
"Okay, send someone to investigate thoroughly and find out who is behind this. I want to see who is targeting our Duke of Lu's Mansion."
"Yes, Dad. I will find out as soon as possible." Xie Yun bowed.
The moment he walked out of the courtyard, his eyes were so deep that he was actually discovered by the fool Xie Yunzhao.
He once again suspected Lu Ziqian. It seemed that he could not use him easily in the future if anything happened.
After returning to Chaohuiyuan, he sat in the study and thought for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help it and got up and went to Jinzhi's room.
Jin Zhi is still recovering from her injuries and hasn't seen him since she entered the prince's courtyard.
Now that I'm his woman, I can't help but feel excited when I see him again.
Just as he was about to get up, Xie Yunzheng stopped him considerately and asked Zishan to bring a chair and sit beside the bed.
When asked about her injury, Jin Zhi did not forget to be grateful to the prince for saving her, and also did she forget the princess's care.
Xie Yunzheng nodded, then sat still, not knowing how to start.
After Zishan served the tea, he considerately left and winked at Jinzhi before leaving.
Jinzhi secretly thought that she was smart and would definitely reward her later.
Seeing that the prince was still sitting, she shyly tried: "I...will be able to get up and serve the prince in three to five days."
"Okay, no rush. It's more important to take good care of your health." Xie Yunzheng said nothing when he heard the word "concubine".
Jin Zhi was happy and said boldly, "Sir, do you have something to ask me?"
Xie Yunzheng glanced at her and asked, "How do your Second Master... and the Princess... usually get along?"
Jin Zhi was stunned for a moment, but her mind quickly started to work. The prince had not been to the backyard recently, and it was obvious that he did not like Li Wan'er.
He was so gentle to her out of consideration for the princess. She knew that the princess was in the prince's heart and always had been.
And she would inevitably use the princess's position in his heart to gain his favor in the future.
She thought about it for a while and quickly came up with an idea: "The princess is very busy on weekdays, and the second master is accompanying her by her side, so he won't disturb her too much."
Xie Yunzheng clenched his fists in his sleeves. Xie Yunzhao was such a coward. Didn’t he know that he was just a nuisance?
Yongjia must be unhappy, but he is too embarrassed to say it because he doesn't even have a proper job.
Knowing that things weren't that good between them, he felt a little relieved.
But I still want to know how they get along at night.
But he couldn't ask this question.
Jin Zhi stared at his expression, and seeing that he was fine, she knew that she was on the right track, and said sympathetically: "I know that the prince cares about the princess. After all, you and the princess were engaged before, and you were childhood playmates, so it is normal for you to care about her."
Xie Yunzheng suddenly blushed, and Jin Zhi noticed it.
He whispered, "Is this really normal?"
They are no longer playmates, nor are they engaged couples, but sister-in-law.
Jin Zhi smiled and said, "I have served the princess since I was a child. I have seen clearly how the prince treats the princess. So the prince does not have to worry too much when he is with me. I will tell you whatever you want to ask. I promise not to tell anyone else."
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Xie Yunzheng looked at her with eyes full of gratitude.
"The princess is used to the Princess's residence, so she is a little uncomfortable here. She goes to bed early at night. Second Master, please don't disturb me."
"But it's okay now, Prince can rest assured." Jin Zhi said, and blinked.
Xie Yunzheng understood that Yongjia didn't want to be disturbed by Xie Yunzhao, so he went to bed early at night.
Finally hearing what he wanted to hear, Xie Yunzheng was very satisfied, "You should take good care of your injuries. When you are well, you can serve me in the study."
Jin Zhi smiled happily: "Thank you, Prince."
After Xie Yunzheng left, Zishan came in with a smile: "Sister Jinzhi is really amazing. The prince didn't go into the backyard or the Frost and Snow Courtyard, but came to see you first."
Jin Zhi liked to hear this, "The prince said that when I recover from my injury, I will come to the study to serve you."
"That's great! Sister Jinzhi's good days are coming soon."
"Take your own reward."
"Thank you, sister."
When Li Wan'er learned that Xie Yunzheng went to see Jin Zhi, she was so angry that she threw the bowl. Since Jin Zhi was carried away, Xie Yunzheng has not come to see her.
He immediately sent someone to write a letter to his mother, asking to return to the Li Mansion.
Li's mother pretended to be sick and asked someone to come to the Duke's Mansion to take her daughter back. She had just been married for a short time and it was not good for her to go back to her parents' home all the time.
Li Wan'er started crying when she saw her, lying in her mother's arms and telling her about all the grievances she had suffered.
"Mom, is the purpose of getting married to be wronged?"
"My daughter has never experienced this before."
Mother Li patted her shoulder. All women came here this way. "Daughter, where you lived before, you were the most honorable. It's different here. This is the capital."
"There are too many people more noble than you. Even though your father is now a minister, he can't always get what he wants in the officialdom."
Li Wan'er sniffed: "Why did my daughter return to Beijing? Why did she get married? She would be with her grandmother and have no worries for the rest of her life."
Mother Li sighed. If she had known how hard it would be to get married, she would have wanted to go back to her childhood.
But she still had to advise her daughter that people should always look forward: "Your husband is a rare talent, a hundred times better than others, so it's okay for him to have one or two concubines. There are many people who have three or four concubines without any ability."
"You take the position of the first lady firmly. When you give birth to a legitimate son, he will be the future crown prince, or even the Duke of Lu. At that time, everything in the Duke of Lu's mansion will be yours."
“Take the long view.”
Li Wan'er raised her eyes and shook her head: "But the princess doesn't have to face these things. Second brother treats her very well."
"No matter how good he is to her, he can't give the entire Duke's Mansion to the princess. Everyone has to get one of them, right?" Mother Li rubbed her daughter's bun.
"You don't have to envy her."
