When the lights were turned on in Suiyuan, Qiao Zhenzhen looked up from her book and saw that the sun had already set outside the window. She asked Xia Xiang, who was standing beside her, "Has the prince returned home yet?"

Xia Xiang went out and didn't come back until a long time later.

"The prince has arrived home, but was intercepted by the cousin of the Lin family. He has now gone to Anyuan."

"Lin Wan'er?" Qiao Zhenzhen closed the book in her hand.

"Yes. I don't know what she said to the prince, but he followed her."

Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes were deep. She was silent for a long time before she said:

"Okay, I understand. Go and prepare the meal. I'm hungry."

Xia Xiang asked, "Aren't you going to wait for the prince to come back?"

Qiao Zhenzhen put the book on the desk and said, "Put it aside first. I'm hungry."

She said "I'm hungry" again. Xia Xiang didn't dare to go against her wishes, so she lowered her head and walked out.

Qiao Zhenzhen looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, wondering what Lin was going to do next.

Yi Wan happened to be away, so there was no way to ask him to go and investigate the situation.

The renovation of Suiyuan had been completed, so she asked Yiwan to go to Baoguo Temple to deliver a letter to Xie Qianzhong, asking him to stay at the Duke's Mansion when he had time.

I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose. My eyes felt a little sore from reading too much.

There was also a sudden feeling of boredom that arose in Qiao Zhenzhen's heart.

She feels pretty good about this marriage so far.

But unfortunately there is always someone jumping in the middle.

Dealing with this kind of thing too many times can't help but feel tired.

Han Zheng came back from Anyuan when Qiao Zhenzhen was halfway through her meal.

As soon as Han Zheng entered the room, he saw that his wife had not waited for him to eat, and he knew that she was probably... a little unhappy. Why?

After thinking about it, I had a general idea in my mind.

"came back?"

Qiao Zhenzhen didn't look at the person who came in, she just ate her food.

The indifferent tone made Han Zheng's heart tremble.

It was completely different from the intimate tone he used when he left in the morning.

Subconsciously revealing a smile with a hint of flattery, Han Zheng softened his voice and said, "Well, I'm back. My mother asked me to go to Anyuan, which delayed me for some time."

He sat down next to Qiao Zhenzhen.

Dongxiang brought a copper basin for washing hands.

After washing his hands and drying them with a cloth, Han Zheng picked up the chopsticks and said, "Why don't you wait for me to come back before eating?"

"I'm hungry."

Still saying the same thing, Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes were on the food from beginning to end, and she didn't even look at him.

Han Zheng picked up the bowl and chopsticks, but his attention was on his wife beside him.

He tilted his head to observe her emotions.

"What did your mother say to you?" she asked in a very calm tone.

Of course it means you are not good.

Han Zheng's eyes showed some helplessness, "I said you... scared her the day before yesterday."

He didn't hide it.

"Oh, this time it's not a cold, but a fright?"

Qiao Zhenzhen turned her head slightly and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

Han Zheng put down his bowl and chopsticks, "...Did someone make you angry today?"

Qiao Zhenzhen also put down her bowl and chopsticks, "What do you mean?"

Han Zheng thought to himself, I’m not blind. He smiled, “Since I came back, you haven’t even smiled at me…you haven’t even looked at me.”

Only then did Qiao Zhenzhen look at him straight in the eye, but she didn't even give him a perfunctory smile.

She said, "I'm tired." She slumped her shoulders and sighed, "I'm done, you eat now."

Having said that, he stood up.

Caught off guard, Han Zheng reached out and pulled her to sit on his lap.

The rough and strong palms were around her waist, and the warmth of the palms was transmitted to her waist through her clothes.

Qiao Zhenzhen felt a little uncomfortable.

Since their marriage, although the two have been intimate, they still observe etiquette when others are around most of the time.

This kind of action of pulling her to sit on his lap had never happened before.

Xia Xiang winked at the maids around her, and the servants in the main room retreated one after another, leaving space for the two of them.

"What's going on? Did I piss you off?" Han Zheng's voice was low and as gentle as possible.

Qiao Zhenzhen pretended to struggle a few times, but Han Zheng tightened his arms around her waist, preventing her from leaving.

The action is very domineering.

"What do you think?" she said unhappily.

"How would I know?" Han Zheng laughed, "I just walked in."

Qiao Zhenzhen just rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything, pretending to stand up again.

Han Zheng hurriedly asked, "Is it because I went to Anyuan?" while holding the man down.

When he was called away by his mother before, she didn't seem unhappy. He didn't know what happened today that made her throw a tantrum.

Qiao Zhenzhen curled her lips and said, "I'm just tired."

It's a tiring job to always pretend to be considerate and eloquent.

After laying a good foundation in the early stage, it is her turn to show off.

Otherwise, if you always give in and it becomes a habit, men will become ungrateful.

After all, she is not like Aunt Lan, who has to please men all her life to support herself and live a good life.

People are spoiled, just like Mo Qingyang said, men cannot be spoiled all the time.

Han Zheng lifted her chin with his fingers and kissed her quickly.

This was not a light kiss, but a deep, warm tongue that lingered in her mouth.

At first Qiao Zhenzhen struggled a few times, but soon she calmed down, wrapped her arms around his neck unconsciously, and began to enjoy this aggressive deep kiss.

At the end, both of them were a little out of breath, and Han Zheng stared at her as if he wanted to eat her.

Qiao Zhenzhen's face turned red and she almost didn't dare to look him in the eye.

She said softly, "What are you doing? It's not even dark yet..."

Before she could finish her words, Han Zheng chased her and kissed her again.

Then he picked her up and went into the inner room.

The man's actions today were somewhat strong, making it hard for her to resist. Until the end, she could only hum softly.

After a long time, when it was completely dark, Han Zheng finally let her go.

Both of them were drenched in sweat.

Afterwards, Qiao Zhenzhen was held and took a bath in the bathtub together.

After another round of kissing, Han Zheng asked, "Are you still tired?"

Qiao Zhenzhen glared at him with watery eyes and said, "Even more tired!"

When Han Zheng smiled, he was unexpectedly handsome with a hint of evil, which dazzled Qiao Zhenzhen for a moment.

The contrast with his usual dignity and prudence is so strong that it is really bewitching.

"My mother complained to me. Did that make you unhappy?"

Han Zheng probably felt that the atmosphere was brewing enough, so he brought up the previous topic again.

Qiao Zhenzhen didn't answer directly, but turned her back and leaned in his arms.

"I just feel a little tired." She said, "If my father always called me over every other day to criticize you and find your faults, how would you feel?"

Han Zheng put himself in her shoes and sighed softly, "It is indeed a bit tiring."

Qiao Zhenzhen remained quiet and didn't complain anymore.

After a long silence, Han Zheng suddenly said, "You should try to believe me."

Qiao Zhenzhen was stunned. Did she show before that she didn't believe him?

"I know what kind of personality my mother has. I also know what kind of personality you have. I saw her tormenting you before because of these things... It's the responsibility of a daughter-in-law, so I shouldn't interfere too much. But in my heart, I always stand on your side."

Hearing him say this, Qiao Zhenzhen felt a little touched, but not much.
