An An returned to Prince Yu's Mansion safely, and Luo Lan began to work hard for her Huichun Hall again.
Leng Ming felt sorry for An An, so he didn't dare show up in Prince Yu's Mansion again. However, he often went to the door of Huichun Hall and watched Luo Xue busying in and out. He felt uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to go up and say hello.
Just as he was standing in the corner looking into Huichun Hall, someone patted his shoulder from behind. He was startled and turned around suddenly.
When he saw the person standing behind him, he frowned, patted his chest, and complained:
"Fifth brother, you scared me to death."
Leng Xi waved the fan in his hand, raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face,
"What are you looking at? The second young lady of the Liu family?"
Leng Ming shook his head as if nothing had happened.
"No...no, just...just looking around."
"Just looking around? You come here every day just to look around? I think you're just trying to quench your thirst!"
"What do you mean by that? What's wrong with me just quenching my thirst by looking at a plum? She's unmarried, and I'm unmarried. I appreciate her, and that's only natural. Does that mean Fifth Brother has to intervene in this matter, too?"
"I don't care, but I see you looking pitiful and trying to find a job every day. I feel sorry for you and I want to help you."
"help me?"
Leng Ming looked at him with disdain and sneered,
"As far as I know, my Fifth Sister-in-law has already signed divorce papers for you several times. You can't even handle your own family affairs, and you still come to help me? It's ridiculous. In my opinion, you should go find Fifth Sister-in-law as soon as possible, otherwise, you will even lose your son."
"you……"
Leng Xi was about to get angry at him, but quickly stopped himself.
"Forget it. Since you don't want me to help you, I'm leaving. Think about it carefully. Luo Xue is a few years older than you. If you keep wasting time like this, don't cry when she gets married."
Leng Xi's words were like a thorn, piercing Leng Ming's heart.
Luo Xue and Luo Lan are the same age. Luo Lan's child is already six or seven years old. If Luo Xue had not lived in Chu, she might have already married and had children.
Now she has just returned to Daning Kingdom and has not yet found a suitable in-law family. Once she finds one, it will be too late for him to regret.
"Fifth brother, wait..."
Seeing Leng Xi about to turn around and leave, he gritted his teeth and called him back, as if he had made a great decision, and said:
"How do you want to help me? Or rather, what are your conditions?"
"I don't have any conditions. You are my sixth brother, and I don't want to see you worrying about a woman all day long."
"real?"
Leng Ming didn't believe that Leng Xi had such kindness, but looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be lying.
He looked at him doubtfully.
"Then how can you help me?"
Leng Xi smiled evilly, then leaned over to his ear and whispered a few words.
Before he finished speaking, Leng Ming shook his head vigorously.
"No, what's your evil idea? I like her, but you can't use such despicable means."
"This isn't a despicable move; it's called striking first. She already has feelings for you, but may be unwilling to accept you for some other reason. You're a man, so if you don't take the initiative, how can you get her?"
"Then I won't do that. She'll look down on me. I'll make myself very strong so that she'll be willing to marry me in the future."
"Powerful? Hahaha, how can you be powerful? What do you have? Besides the title of Prince Ming, what else do you have? You're not even as good as Leng Yu's little finger. Do you still want to wait until you become powerful before asking to marry her? I'm afraid that by then, she will have already fallen into the arms of someone else."
After saying this, Leng Xi looked at him with disdain, turned around, fanned himself, and swaggered away.
Although he had left, the words he had just left still lingered in Leng Ming's ears.
Yes, what does he have? Even if he wants to become stronger, he must have the opportunity, right?
There is no chance for him to become stronger in front of Leng Yu, and Leng Xi can't even protect himself, so he can't be relied on.
Originally, he planned to go to his father and ask him to arrange a suitable position for him, but he was also afraid that Luo Xue would not be able to wait as Leng Xi said.
What should I do? What should I do?
After circling around a few times, he walked back to Prince Ming's Mansion in a daze.
Leng Xi naturally wasn't so kind as to help Leng Ming, he had his own plans.
However, Leng Ming's words just now made him a little unhappy.
It has been a while since Yu Qiaoqiao took Xiaobao back to her parents' home, and he has not signed the divorce agreement sent to Prince Xi's Mansion.
It's not that he didn't want to sign, nor was he reluctant to part with Yu Qiaoqiao. It's because he had no plans to marry anyone else in this life. Instead of letting the position of Princess Naxi remain vacant and people gossip about it, it would be better to let Yu Qiaoqiao occupy that position. That way, Yu Shiming might still be of use to him in the future.
Thinking of this, he changed direction and headed towards the Shangshu Mansion.
During this period, Yu Qiaoqiao has been in a bad mood. She couldn't understand why Leng Xi hated her so much when she was no worse than others in any way?
Later, she finally figured it out. Instead of staying with him in Prince Xi's Mansion, it would be better to be the second lady of the Shangshu Mansion again. Even if she never got married, it would be happier than being a widow.
What she didn't expect was that Leng Xi would catch up with her more than a month after she left.
Prince Xi came to the Shangshu Mansion. This was the first time he took the initiative to visit since they got married. In the past, he only symbolically accompanied her back to her parents' home a few times, sat for a while and then left. He had never eaten in the Shangshu Mansion or stayed here for long.
The maid Chuntao came hurriedly to report,
"Miss, Prince Xi is here and is talking to the master in the main hall."
He is coming?
Yu Qiaoqiao put down the embroidery needle in her hand, frowned slightly, and asked softly:
"Did you tell me what you were here for? To deliver the divorce papers?"
Chuntao shook her head.
"It seems not. They didn't mention this matter, but from what I heard, it seems that they are going to take the young master back."
"impossible……"
Hearing that Leng Xi was coming to pick up Xiao Bao, Yu Qiao Qiao jumped up in surprise. She absolutely could not let Xiao Bao return to the Prince Xi's Mansion. She hurriedly prepared to go out. Chun Tao could not help but persuade her:
"Miss, I didn't hear it very clearly. Otherwise, I will go and listen again. Please wait a moment."
"No need, I'll just go and listen myself. I want to see what he wants to do..."
Before she finished speaking, she was about to walk out. At the same time, Leng Xi also came to her door.
The moment the door opened, she was a little surprised to see Leng Xi standing outside. Then she saluted with a cold face.
"Prince Xi, how come you have time to come to the Shangshu Mansion? My father is in the main hall, not here with me."
"I came to see you."
Leng Xi walked into the house while speaking. Yu Qiaoqiao wanted to stop him, but he walked in regardless.
She could only wink at Chuntao, who understood and retreated.
"What do you want me for?"
Seeing Leng Xi standing in front of him, Yu Qiaoqiao lowered her head, her voice cold and without a trace of emotion.
