You don’t know if you don’t read. The royal family was shocked after reading the mind.

Cheng Mansion——

Cheng Ling was practicing calligraphy, and there was a temporary maid waiting beside him.

Originally, Cheng Ling was determined not to have a maid serve him, but his parents felt it was inconvenient, so they forced the maid Fuqin in.

"Miss, your handwriting is so beautiful." Fuqin praised.

Cheng Ling put down the brush and said calmly: "Take care of it."

Fuqin didn't dare to hesitate, "Yes, Miss."

She had been following the master and his wife before, thinking that she could be the master's wife, but she didn't expect that the wife sent her to serve the young lady.

Fuqin's wish is not very big, he just hopes to be a married woman, have a child, and settle down.

Cheng Ling adjusted her skirt and walked into the yard to get some fresh air.

Xiao Yifeng didn't come to him in the past two days, and he didn't know if what happened in the past few days had something to do with Xiao Yifeng.

Before, he thought Xiao Yifeng came too often, but now he thought Xiao Yifeng came too infrequently.

As the daughter of a foreign minister, she is not allowed to enter the palace without an order.

It was difficult for him to even meet Xiao Yifeng.

"Miss Ning, please come over here." The steward next to Cheng Hao came over.

Cheng Ling's eyes lit up. Grandpa was looking for him because he must have news about Xiao Yifeng.

"I'll go now."

"Miss, wait for me." After Fuqin packed up his things, he hurriedly chased after her.

Cheng Ling stopped me and said, "No need. I don't intend to let you be my personal maid. You only need to help me tidy up the study from time to time. There is no need to follow me in other places."

"But..." Fuqin thought it was something he did wrong that made Cheng Ling annoying.

Cheng Ling didn't like the explanation and left directly with the steward.

Fuqin stood there, feeling a little flustered.

If the owner doesn't like her, will she be sent away?

She didn't want to leave Cheng Mansion at all.

"Fuqin, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Jing came over at some point and asked with concern when she saw Fuqin looking like she was about to cry.

Fuqin was a maid from her hometown. Cheng Ling's parents brought her here specifically to serve Cheng Ling. After training her for a long time, all the other ladies in the Cheng family knew her.

"I've met Miss Jing." Fuqin saluted, "I'm fine, my slave."

"Sister Ning has never had a personal maid in the Cheng Mansion before. She may not be used to it. It will get better after a while." Cheng Jing comforted her kindly.

Fuqin was extremely grateful, "Thank you, Miss Jing. I understand, I'm just worried that the lady doesn't like you and will drive you away."

Cheng Jing frowned, "That's not the case. Even if Sister Ning is still a lady, she has to be surrounded by a few maids."

Only Fuqin is considered a very small number.

If you don't need one, it will be inconvenient for you to do things on weekdays.

After being comforted, Fuqin felt better.

Cheng Jing pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Sister Ning hasn't been out of the yard recently. What is she busy with?"

"Miss is writing and reading in the study." Fuqin said matter-of-factly.

Naturally, she would not have thought that Cheng Jing was here to inquire about information.

After Xiao Yifeng came last time, she went everywhere to inquire about news in the capital, and found that the atmosphere in the capital was a bit strange now.

The third prince has a bad reputation, has a bad temper, and beats people. He is a freak.

The prince doesn't even have a good wife around him. He is very clean and very suitable to be a husband.

The second prince... has a relatively simple and honest personality. He has been hanging out in the military camp and there are no women around him.

She thought about it and felt that the best choice was to be the crown prince's woman, but the best choice was to be the second prince's concubine.

If you can be the main wife, you shouldn't be the concubine.

Just look at her mother's current status.

All the concubines stayed in their hometowns and were not qualified to follow them to the capital.

If their father hadn't been reluctant to bear the concubines, they might have been left in their hometown.

Although the second and third wives always encouraged the eldest brother He Wanran to take concubines to Cheng Yi, in fact, as the principal wife, they also hated the eldest brother-in-law and concubines around their husbands.

It's just that I can't control my husband, so I can only let him take concubines.

If you suffer yourself, you won't be able to see others enjoy happiness.

In fact, Fuqin was also sent to He Wanran intentionally by the second and third bedrooms.

However, He Wanran thought that her son did not have a personal maid to serve him, so he trained Fuqin to be a literate maid who could help Cheng Ling.

If Cheng Ling's identity is never exposed in the future, he can also take away Fuqin first and give birth to a member of the Cheng family's bloodline.

"Really? The third prince hasn't come recently?" Cheng Jing knew that Fu Qin was the kind of maid whose thoughts were written all over her face.

When he was sent to the big room, Fuqin said all over his face that I was here to marry him.

After being trained a lot later, she realized that she would be Cheng Ling's personal maid in the future.

However, the other party's intention to have a marriage relationship has never changed.

Fuqin shook his head, "Not really."

Cheng Jing pretended to be regretful and said, "Could it be that the Third Prince has abandoned Sister Ning? He stopped coming to see Sister Ning within a few days."

Fuqin was very nervous, "How could it be? I heard that His Highness the Third Prince likes Miss Ning very much and always sends gifts to Miss Ning. Yesterday, he even sent someone to send a white dove."

"Really? Then you said that Sister Ning has been writing in the study?" Cheng Jing subconsciously retorted.

Fuqin was stunned for a moment, "Miss has indeed been writing in the study."

Doesn't this seem to conflict?

Cheng Jing realized that she was overreacting, "I heard wrongly. If the third prince comes next time, please remember to tell us that Sister Juan and I seemed to have offended the third prince last time. I don't know if he will because of that." We are angry with Sister Ning..."

Fuqin was very anxious after hearing this, "Miss Qiannu? Then... what should we do?"

Seeing that Fuqin took the bait, Cheng Jing continued: "If you see the third prince coming next time, remember to find me immediately, you know?"

"This slave knows." Fuqin said immediately.

After Cheng Jing got the satisfactory news, she turned and left.

Cheng Ling didn't know all this.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

He hurried to the study and saw Cheng Hao frowning, seeming to be looking at something.

"Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

"Here he comes," Cheng Hao put down the document in his hand, "Has His Highness come here secretly in the past few days?"

Cheng Ling was confused, "No, what's wrong?"

Cheng Hao glanced at his grandson, as if he was trying to determine whether his words were true or false, and then said: "Something happened in the palace recently, and something happened in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Don't run around these days, you know?"

"My grandson knows."

No one dared to call himself Cheng Ling.

After the grandfather and grandson talked for a while, Cheng Hao asked Cheng Ling to leave.

Cheng Ling had something on his mind and was a little distracted when walking. He almost twisted and fell. An arm hugged him, and the next second he was hugged and dragged into the rockery in the back garden.

Before he could struggle, he heard a familiar voice.

"Didn't I say that you can't have women around you?"

It's Xiao Yifeng!
