Fu Guiyun walked out of Qin Wan's yard silently, and just as he was out of the gate, he saw Caidie hurriedly returning.

As soon as he looked up at her, the girl knelt in front of him and confessed loudly: "Princess, I was wrong."

Fu Guiyun was puzzled: "What did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn't have trusted Aunt Qin so easily and misunderstood the Crown Prince's Consort."

Caidie had just heard Nanny Zhang talk about what happened in Fangyi Courtyard. Only then did she understand what had happened and she was still feeling uneasy.

"Get up."

Fu Guiyun helped the man up and couldn't help but sigh silently as he saw that such a good-looking man had become so stupid.

"From now on, I will no longer dare to make friends with outsiders in this mansion without telling the Crown Prince's wife. I will just stay in my own yard."

Caidie felt aggrieved like a child, and threw herself into Fu Guiyun's arms and cried bitterly: "From now on, I will only listen to the Crown Prince's wife."

Looking at her delicate and childish appearance, Fu Guiyun couldn't help but groan inwardly.

This is not just raising a concubine, it is clearly raising a daughter.

"How can you live without a few friends in this world? But you should always be more careful when interacting with people." Fu Guiyun comforted helplessly.

Now that Qin Wan has been sent away, there are two positions for concubines left in the courtyard, and she doesn't know who to ask to fill the vacancies.

Thinking about Lu Linzhi's situation, she asked Nanny Zhang to send Caidie back, and then took Nanny Tong and Qinglu to the Changshi Mansion.

Although Xu Jinzhou is the head of the officials in the mansion, he also knows the status of these three monsters in the prince's heart. Even if they have no status, their status is no worse than those of the concubines, so it is not easy to deal with them.

The Fourth Young Master handed the person over to him, obviously to create a problem for him.

But seeing Lu Linzhi sitting quietly by the side, he couldn't just remain silent.

Glancing unhappily at Li Xue who was kneeling on the ground, Xu Jinzhou coughed lightly and began to pretend to scold her.

"Miss Lixue, you have been serving the prince for more than a day or two. Don't you know the rules of the mansion?"

"Doctor Liu is the imperial physician bestowed by His Majesty on the prince and princess. Even if I am the official, I would not dare to bother them without the prince and princess's favor."

Carefully observing Lu Linzhi beside him, he quickly asked: "Miss Li Xue, do you know your mistake?"

Li Xue sobbed and said, "I know I was wrong."

"Well, it's good that you admit your mistake. Don't make the same mistake again next time."

Xu Jinzhou waved his hand hastily: "Go down."

Li Xue was about to stand up when Lu Linzhi said, "Wait."

Xu Jinzhou frowned: "Does the Fourth Young Master think that my handling of the matter is inappropriate?"

There was no light in Lu Linzhi's eyes, and he just tapped the sandalwood table next to him with his fingers.

Xu Jinzhou smiled awkwardly: "It's really not appropriate for me to intervene in this matter. How about handing the person over to the Crown Prince's Consort and giving him a good scolding?"

"If everything has to be done by the Crown Prince's Consort herself, what are we officials doing?"

Lu Linzhi said coldly: "This slave girl violated the palace rules. The palace rules are equivalent to the laws of the court. Does Xu Changshi want to disregard the laws of the court?"

"Why is the Fourth Young Master so alarmist?"

Li Xue pouted in dissatisfaction: "When the prince was at home, he didn't take care of her. He asked Doctor Liu to come and check Miss Chu's pulse. I was just following the prince's wishes."

"What does the prince mean?"

Lu Linzhi curled his lips in disdain: "Do you have a token?"

Li Xue choked suddenly.

At this time, Lu Linfeng also walked in from outside. Hearing the conversation in the room, he found it ridiculous: "Why bother yourself for a lowly maid, fourth brother, you are really wasting your time."

After saying this, he called out to the servant outside the door, "Drag her out and beat her. If she can survive this beating, she'll be considered lucky."

"this......"

Xu Jinzhou was a little embarrassed.

"Why, Xu Changshi wants me to report you to the emperor?"

Lu Linfeng asked, "Xu Changshi wants to disregard the law for a lowly maid?"

Xu Jinzhou was at a loss. He really didn't know what had happened to these three girls in the prince's courtyard and how they suddenly became so bold.

He guessed that it was related to the girl surnamed Chu. Since Kelixue refused to confess, he couldn't defend her anymore, so he said, "Drag her out and beat her up."

When Fu Guiyun arrived, he saw Li Xue being carried out of the Changshi Mansion with her skin torn and flesh exposed.

Seeing the figure of the Crown Prince's Consort, several people hurriedly stood up.

"Why bother your brother and sister to come for such a small matter?"

Lu Linfeng clasped his fists and bowed respectfully: "She is just a girl. Since she doesn't want to implicate others, we can only let her suffer a little more."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Xu Jinzhou had just seen Li Xue dying from the beating, and was afraid that she had lost half her life, so he immediately asked, "Prince's Consort, do you want to find a doctor to see her?"

"Xu Changshi is getting more and more confused."

Lu Linfeng angrily scolded: "That bitch is so bold and presumptuous, she should be taught a lesson."

"Yes."

Xu Jinzhou didn't dare to say anything more, and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

Fu Guiyun was confused when he heard this: "This is the residence of Lord Changshi. Where is Lord Changshi Xu going to retreat to?"

Xu Jinzhou then realized that this was the Zuo Changshi's residence. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and was about to speak again when Fu Guiyun said, "I came here to talk to the two gentlemen about some family matters. I won't disturb Xu Changshi."

"Farewell, Crown Princess."

Xu Jinzhou bent his body and didn't dare to look up at them. He didn't dare to stand up until they had left.

Thinking about what happened today, although it was the decision made by the eldest and fourth sons, it was also related to me, and it was me who gave the final approval. I'm afraid those three demons will be jealous of me as well.

"What should I do?"

He secretly groaned in his heart, always feeling that the Fourth Young Master was beginning to deliberately sow discord between him and the Crown Prince.

Otherwise, there would be no need for him to involve himself in the handling of Li Xue.

While he was hesitating, Fu Guiyun had already walked out of Zuo Changshi's mansion with the two young masters.

Lu Linzhi roughly guessed Fu Guiyun's intention, but pretended not to know: "What does the Crown Prince's Concubine want to see me and my elder brother about?"

"My mother asked me to arrange a marriage for my brother and Lu Changshi. Xiao Kuizi happened to send many portraits of girls. I have selected a few. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Looking at Lu Linzhi, Fu Guiyun smiled faintly: "There is also the marriage between Lu Changshi and the eldest daughter of the Ye family. It is related to the prosperity of the Ye and Lu clans. We cannot neglect it and it must be settled as soon as possible."

"this......"

This was a reasonable thing to do, but it made the two people who were usually straightforward become awkward at the same time.

"As the eldest son of the Lu family, you should focus on your brother's marriage."

Lu Linzhi politely declined, "Why don't you ask your brother to go with the Crown Prince's Consort to see her first?"

"Old Four, why are you so polite?"

Lu Linfeng said, "I was not born to be a man who can please girls, so it's hard for me to be favored by girls at the moment. The eldest lady of the Ye family and you, the fourth child, are in tune with each other, so it's easy to arrange it. It's better to focus on the marriage with the Ye family."
