"With your Highness's words, my husband and I have nothing to worry about."
Madam Liu sighed and continued, "It's also our fault as parents. We've really made Third Girl suffer so much, making her suffer so much in vain."
"Now that we have finally returned after going through so many difficulties, we just hope that the third girl's life will be smoother in the future. Otherwise, how can my poor third girl survive?"
Madam Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Look at me, why am I saying all this to His Highness? His Highness is young now, so naturally he doesn't understand the feelings of us as parents. When His Highness and Concubine Yun have their own children in the future—"
"shut up!"
Before Madam Liu could finish her sentence, Lord Liu interrupted her with a scolding.
Madam Liu was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and understood the mystery. She looked at Concubine Yun in annoyance, wanting to explain that it was just an unintentional act.
But what responded to her next was Zhao Yunzhu's gentle smile.
"Thank you for your kind words, Madam Liu. Your Highness and I would like to thank Madam Liu."
"This prince is traveling with Concubine Yun, and I would like to thank Madam Liu for her good wishes."
The awkward atmosphere was quickly resolved due to mutual honesty and misunderstanding.
After leaving the Liu family, Zhao Yunzhu asked, "How do you plan to make Second Young Master Du the heir of the Yong'an Marquisate?"
She tilted her head slightly and looked up at him, confusion written in her eyes. "Could it be that the Marquis of Yong'an had something to do with Ah Bing that landed in your hands?"
Qin Zongzhi lowered his head slightly and looked at her with a doting look on his face. "It can be considered a handle, but it can also be considered a scar."
"oh?"
Seeing Zhao Yunzhu's increasingly confused look, he felt a warm current flowing through his heart. He couldn't bear to tease her any further, so he continued to talk to her, "Actually, I also learned by chance that the Marquis of Yong'an took a sterilizing decoction in his early years. No matter how many beautiful concubines he took in, no one could continue his family line!"
"ah!"
Zhao Yunzhu was shocked. All this happened too suddenly.
She had never heard of these secret news. How did Qin Zongzhi know about it?
"Where did you hear this news? Is it credible?"
He held her in his arms, his tone firm, "I heard this from an imperial physician. I'm afraid that Marquis Yong'an himself doesn't know about this. He always thought it was because of his wife..."
"How do you know so much about the news of Yong'an Marquis Mansion?"
Zhao Yunzhu frowned and suddenly asked curiously.
Qin Zongzhi's face was slightly stunned, his eyes somewhat evasive. He didn't want to answer the question, so he deliberately looked away and pointed at a street scene outside the carriage. "Look, it seems quite lively there. Since we have nothing to do today, let's go for a walk."
After he finished speaking, he ordered the driver to stop the carriage and took Zhao Yunzhu out of the carriage.
"Let's go. We haven't been out for a walk for a while. How about we have dinner outside before going back?"
Although he spoke in a negotiating tone, he never stopped moving forward.
"good."
Zhao Yunzhu felt quite helpless, but she finally agreed to him.
All the way, he held her hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go.
The street vendors sell small everyday items that are naturally comparable to the exquisite jewelry in the shops.
But after looking at those exquisite items for a long time, I suddenly saw things that I never see in my daily life.
After all, it still felt a bit novel to her.
Qin Zongzhi saw that her eyes were shining, and if she looked at it for just one more moment, he would pay money to buy it.
Zhao Yunzhu originally wanted to stop him, but after trying several times, it was ineffective, so she simply let him go.
This time, they returned with a full load. Zhao Yunzhu ordered people to move the things into the warehouse, and then never opened it again, leaving the things to gather dust in the boxes.
After Qin Zongzhi returned home, he went to handle official business.
It was a rare moment of leisure for Zhao Yunzhu. The sun was shining brightly today and she was basking in the sun in the yard.
The warm sunlight fell on her body, making her feel extremely comfortable. She stretched timidly.
The next second, Aunt Hua's voice rang in my ears.
"Concubine Yun, the maid from Concubine Du's courtyard requests an audience."
Zhao Yunzhu opened her eyes and looked towards the gate of the courtyard. She saw a maid in light pink clothes secretly looking inside the gate.
Meeting her scrutinizing gaze, the maid bowed to her.
"Come in."
She was a little curious. Why did Du Jiaojiao send someone here?
"Concubine Yun."
The maid stepped forward carefully and knelt respectfully to pay her respects.
"Concubine Du asked you to come here, but what did she say?"
"My concubine asked me to ask if the request she made to His Highness has been fulfilled."
The maid lowered her head and did not dare to look up at Concubine Yun.
Suddenly remembering something, she pulled out an object wrapped in a plain handkerchief from her bosom and presented it respectfully with both hands, "Concubine Yun, this is something my Concubine Du asked me to give to you. I hope Concubine Yun will accept it."
Nanny Hua looked at Zhao Yunzhu and saw her nod. She stepped forward and took it from the maid's hand, opened the plain handkerchief, and saw a piece of top-quality mutton-fat white jade inside. Even though Nanny Hua had seen many fine things with Zhao Yunzhu.
Now when he saw this mutton-fat white jade bracelet, there was still a hint of amazement in his eyes.
Zhao Yunzhu took the bracelet and played with it carefully in her hand.
It seemed that Du Jiaojiao had invested a lot of money this time.
I've never seen her like this before.
"Go back and tell your concubine that His Highness will not go back on his word. Tell her to just wait."
Zhao Yunzhu handed the bracelet to the maid and said, "Take it back to your concubine and tell her that we have no friendship at all. There's no need to try to please me like this."
The maid waved her hands in panic, "Concubine Yun, my concubine said that if the things cannot be delivered, then this servant will not be able to return alive to report."
"Please, Concubine Du, spare my humble life."
Bang bang bang!
The maid kowtowed several times in a row, and even Aunt Hua hurried forward but failed to stop her.
Zhao Yunzhu pursed her lips helplessly. In this situation, she could only accept the things for the time being.
"Concubine Yun, why is Concubine Du so kind today?"
Aunt Hua looked at the maid's back as she left and muttered to herself.
"Don't think too much, just take it one step at a time."
She handed the bracelet to Madam Hua and said, "Madam, please put it in the storeroom."
Although Aunt Hua felt it was a pity to leave it in the warehouse gathering dust, when she thought about the origin of this thing, it seemed that keeping it in the warehouse was also a very good idea.
It was rare that Qin Zongzhi didn't come that night.
Zhao Yunzhu had a good sleep that night.
The next morning, when she got up and washed, she saw that all the maids in the room had happy expressions on their faces.
"Look at you all, you all look so happy, but what good news happened? Tell me about it, let me hear it too."
She pulled Linglong to her side and said, "You tell me, and let me listen too."
Linglong raised the corner of her mouth and put the handkerchief aside. "Concubine Yun, we have heard something. It has spread everywhere. It is said that the Marquis of Yong'an is inhumane."
