Before Hu Weian and Nanny Wei left Feiyu Pavilion, they bowed solemnly to Xiao Yunxi and said, "Students (servants) take their leave."

Only after Xiao Yunxi's signal did he dare to leave.

Lu Jingting looked at Xiao Yunxi's cold expression and asked softly, "It's almost time for dinner, shall we..."

"Then I won't waste your time. Have a safe journey. I won't see you off!"

When Lu Jingting heard this, the hope in his eyes instantly died, and he said with difficulty: "Then you should rest early, I'm going to Shou'an Hall."

After saying this, he looked deeply at his wife, concealed the bitterness in his heart, and walked out slowly.

Xiao Yunxi didn't care about how Lu Jingting felt, or why he walked so slowly. She turned around and said to Chunxiao, "Go serve the food. Ask the kitchen to add some steamed fish. Zhan'er likes it."

Lu Jingting paused, then quickly left Feiyu Pavilion...

Seeing Lu Jingting fleeing in panic, Chun Xiao and Xia He rolled their eyes.

"Princess, the prince is a little strange today. You just bullied him so much, but he didn't get angry, let alone refute."

Chunxiao always felt that there was something different about the prince, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Xiao Yunxi smiled faintly and said, "There's nothing strange about it. He was young and full of energy, and reality bent his spine. He was also tempted by beauty."

"Being tempted by beauty?! Bah! That's just wishful thinking!"

Chunxiao stamped her feet angrily.

Xia He also frowned, "Princess, if the prince has such thoughts, I'm afraid he won't be able to live in peace in the future."

Xiao Yunxi did not deny it, but she was afraid that her uncle the emperor would rather see her and Lu Jingting sleeping in the same bed but having different dreams rather than being in love with each other.

She is the knife used by the emperor uncle to eliminate the Zhennan Palace.

The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion was her token of loyalty to her uncle, the Emperor.

The day when Lu Zhan is able to stand on his own, that will be the time for her to become a widow.

Whether Lu Jingting was attracted by beauty or turned over a new leaf, nothing would change for her.

When they arrived at Shou'an Hall, Lu Jingting told the old lady about Mr. Hu and Nanny Wei.

The old lady pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think of them?"

Lu Jingting recalled what happened in Feiyu Pavilion just now.

"Hu Weian has an upright character and is serious and conscientious. He should be a good gentleman."

"Madame Wei is thin, but her eyes are sharp, and her words and actions are very disciplined."

"But... they all seem to be very afraid of Yun Xi. Nanny Wei knelt on the ground from beginning to end, and Hu Weian was also very respectful."

The old lady smiled faintly after hearing this.

"grandmother?"

"Hu Weian is a scholar, so he naturally wants to get in touch with the Xiao Mansion through Yun Xi. Even if he can get a word of advice from Grand Tutor Xiao or Marquis Ningguo, it will be enough for him to rise to prominence."

The old lady raised her hand to signal Lu Jingting to sit down, and continued, "As for Nanny Wei, she served Concubine De before leaving the palace. I heard that the Queen Mother disliked Concubine De very much. I guess when she was in the palace, Yun Xi often followed the Queen Mother to discipline Concubine De and her servants."

"They are afraid of the royal family and Xiao clan behind Yun Xi, so they naturally have to be humble."

Lu Jingting thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.

Mr. Hu and Nanny Wei always showed respect to Xiao Yunxi from beginning to end, not even daring to raise their heads.

The old lady sighed, "You have been away from the capital for a long time, so there are naturally many things you don't know."

Just as Lu Jingting was about to speak, he saw Nanny Li running in in a panic, "Madam, this is not good."

"You old hag, what are you yelling about?!" The old lady was so angry that she pointed at Matron Li and scolded her.

"Madam, it was my fault!" Nanny Li immediately bowed her head and apologized.

"Tell me! Who is this brainless person causing trouble again?"

After saying that, the old lady glanced at Lu Jingting in annoyance. It was just his "sweetheart" or his mother who was stupid!

Lu Jingting touched his nose awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything. His grandmother has been too angry recently...

"When the princess heard that Lin Wan'er was going to live in the mansion permanently and wanted to compete with the eldest lady for treatment, she became furious and rushed to Shou'an Hall with a few maids and servants."

"When I entered the room, I happened to see Lin Wan'er going to the toilet..."

"The princess directly asked the maid to press Lin Wan'er's face... into the toilet..."

The old lady immediately pinched her nose...

Lu Jingting was worried about Lin Wan'er. Just as he was about to walk out, he was stopped by the old lady, "What are you going to do? Help her bathe and change clothes or hug her and comfort her?!"

Just hearing these words made me feel sick... Lu Jingting even felt a little nauseous.

Nanny Li slowed down and continued to report: "The princess pointed at Lin Wan'er and scolded her, saying that she was a wild chicken trying to pretend to be a phoenix, and she should use her urine to look at herself to see if she was worthy! She said that she was a jinx and a troublemaker, and should be sold directly to a low-class place to avoid wasting the food in the palace..."

As Nanny Li watched the prince's face grow darker, her voice became softer and softer.

Lu Jingting took a deep breath and said, "Grandma, I'd better go and take a look."

"Aren't you afraid of the stink?" The old lady snorted, "Or are you not afraid that your mother will throw feces on you?"

"....Well...."

"Although your mother's actions were a bit vulgar, she did nothing wrong." The old lady suppressed her disgust and said, "Lin Wan'er is determined to replace Yun Xi and become your Crown Prince's Consort, the future Princess of Zhennan!"

"Since she entered the mansion, she has been causing trouble everywhere, and has further deepened the rift between you and Yun Xi. You should teach her a lesson so that she will remember that she is just a lowly slave!"

Lu Jingting thought of Xiao Yunxi's coldness and determination, and his heart ached inexplicably.

"If you dare to go today, never set foot in Shou'an Hall again!" The old lady covered her nose and ordered Li Ma with a dark face, "The stench is drifting in, go and close the doors and windows tightly, and use strips of cloth to block all the gaps!"

Nanny Li sniffed and found a really bad odor, so she quickly ran out and asked the maids and old women to close the windows and light incense.

Seeing the old lady quickly hide in the inner room, Lu Jingting turned around and went back to the study in the front yard.

In the end, he still couldn't bear it. He was afraid that the servants of Shou'an Hall would take advantage of Lin Wan'er's misfortune, so he ordered Butler Chen to arrange someone to help clean up the situation.

At this time, Lin Wan'er's dress had already been torn by Ruan's maids. She was dirty and smelled terrible.

She fell to the ground and cried bitterly. Liu'er and Qing'er stood far away and whispered to her, "Miss Lin, you'd better stop crying and wash yourself first..."

"Why are you still washing? Just let me die like this!" Lin Wan'er pounded the ground and roared.

Nanny Li walked in, holding her nose. "Miss Lin, if you are so strong-willed, go back to the countryside. Don't rely on the palace for your life or death!"

Hearing this, Lin Wan'er immediately stood up and cried aggrievedly, "It was the prince who insisted on taking the three of us back home, but now the princess is humiliating me like this. Who do you think I am? Why do you treat me like this?!"

Nanny Li sneered.

"Miss Lin, you probably haven't looked in the mirror yet. You look so ugly now!"

"Besides, I am not the prince, I don't know how to be gentle with women."

"You are nothing more than a slave who climbed into the master's bed and secretly gave birth to two children."

Lin Wan'er was so angry that she was shaking, pointing her finger at Nanny Li, and couldn't speak for a long time!

Nanny Li rolled her eyes and continued, "I would like to kindly remind you that you must not forget your status and only by being law-abiding can you survive. If you continue to act recklessly like this, not only will your life be in danger, but Master Ze and Miss Yuan will also be implicated!"

After saying this, he turned around and left, leaving Lin Wan'er in a daze.
