"Of course I know. I've always been honest and upright in my dealings."
"...Aren't you afraid His Highness the Crown Prince will be angry?"
"What's there to be angry about? I'm just making friends, not hiding you away in a golden cage."
"..." What kind of friends does he have? "Please come in."
"good."
Master Zheng was practicing calligraphy in his study when the butler rushed in in a panic. "Master, something terrible has happened! The Crown Princess is here! She's looking for the Second Young Master!"
bump!
The pen in Mr. Zheng's hand fell onto the table. "You... what did you say?"
The steward wiped his sweat as he said, "The Crown Princess has come to see the Second Young Master."
bump!
Mr. Zheng plopped down in the chair!
If the Crown Prince came looking for his second son, he would jump for joy. The Crown Princess…
Master Zheng grew increasingly frightened. "Tell me," he said, "if we were to scratch the Second Young Master's face, wouldn't the Crown Princess kill us before the Crown Prince does?"
The steward thought for a moment. “Probably. I’ve heard that even the bandits on the border are trembling at the sight of the Crown Princess. If the Crown Princess gets angry… Master, you should think of another way.”
"How about we say that the second young master is engaged?"
"Master, everyone in the county knows that the second young master is not engaged. Besides, even if he were engaged, couldn't he have broken off the engagement?"
"Then what should we do?"
The housekeeper didn't know either. "How about we ask Madam? Maybe she has a solution."
The wife was now in a complete panic. "What to do? What to do? What are we going to do? Quick! Go and fetch the master."
She had barely finished speaking when the master rushed in. "The Crown Princess is looking for the Second Prince, do you have any good ideas?"
"I'm sending someone to find you. If the Crown Prince finds out, will he throw our whole family in jail?"
"Locking him in jail is a good thing. Why did the Crown Princess take a fancy to the second prince? The only thing about the second prince is that he's a little better looking than the others."
"If only it looked better. What should we do? Master, please think of something!"
"What can I do? I'm even thinking of slashing the second son's face."
outside the house,
Sisi: "..." Is it really that serious? "Zheng Er, were you adopted?"
Zheng Er raised his hand to cover his forehead. "Yun Xiaoliu, do you know how powerful you are now? So powerful that even my dad wanted to scratch my face."
Mr. and Mrs. Zheng panicked even more when they realized Sisi had overheard their conversation. Mrs. Zheng moved closer to Mr. Zheng and whispered, "What should we do? She heard us."
Mr. Zheng gritted his teeth. "Since she heard it, let's just say it directly."
"this……"
"Do you have any other ideas?"
"No."
"Then let's just say it. Let's go."
"All right."
After Mr. and Mrs. Zheng came out of the house, they bowed to Sisi. "Hello, Miss Yun."
"Greetings, gentlemen. Xu Bin, tell Mr. and Mrs. Zheng who you are?"
"Yes." Xu Bin took a step forward. "Greetings, gentlemen. I am His Highness the Crown Prince's guard. His Highness has asked me to protect Miss Yun. He said that Miss Yun can do whatever she wants, as long as she remembers to come home."
Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng: "..." Isn't the Crown Prince being too generous? Who spoils their wife like this?
Zheng Er: "..." Really? "Do you have a waist tag?"
Xu Bin: "Yes, but even if I make a fake one, you won't be able to tell."
Sisi: "If the Crown Prince doesn't agree, would I dare to come and visit you in such a grand manner?"
Oh right?
She wouldn't dare do this if she had ulterior motives.
Mr. Zheng: "I'm sorry, we judged you by our own petty standards."
Mrs. Zheng: "Please don't be angry, we were wrong."
"It's alright. Your concerns are understandable. I'd like to ask Zheng Er to tell me about the delicious food and beautiful scenery here, is that alright?"
Master Zheng: "Of course, Second Brother, introduce her properly to Miss Yun."
Zheng Er: "Understood."
Sisi: "Then we'll be going."
Mr. Zheng: "Alright, I'll see you off."
"Um."
As soon as Sisi and Zheng Er left, Master Zheng immediately summoned his servant. "Help me inside, my legs are weak."
"yes."
Mrs. Zheng also called her maid over.
After returning to the room, Mrs. Zheng dismissed the servants. "Master, do you think what the guard said was true?"
"Most likely. I heard that Miss Yun came here to marry General Niu's third son. I also heard that when Miss Yun first met the Crown Prince, she whipped him several times with a horsewhip."
Mrs. Zheng could hardly believe her ears. "Really?"
"It should be true. Miss Yun is right. She certainly wouldn't dare to do this if the Crown Prince didn't agree."
"Your Highness...Does Your Highness feel guilty, which is why you indulge Miss Yun like this?"
"Who knows? Miss Yun is gone, so hurry up and arrange a marriage for the second son. I was almost scared to death just now."
"I was almost scared to death too. Whose house should we book?"
"Any family will do. Just get the second daughter married off as soon as possible."
"...The second child is a boy."
"...I was so scared I was completely confused."
On the other side, Zheng Er looked at Sisi and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"You are the landlord, you decide."
"Aren't you afraid I'll take you to the mountains to be eaten by tigers?"
"Don't be afraid. I have guards."
"...Did you lose on purpose yesterday?"
"No." Speaking of chess, Sisi seemed to miss the Crown Prince. She could beat him; no one else could. "You never even let me win. I'm younger than you, and I'm a girl."
