Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

Xu Xingyin was stunned for a moment, then personally helped Xu Wanfeng up.

"Second sister, please stand up. Why should we be so polite when we are family?"

Xu Wanfeng nodded and responded in a muffled voice.

"Thank you, Princess."

Xu Xingyin smiled and prepared to get on the carriage, but as soon as she raised her foot, Xu Wanfeng had already held her hand steadily.

Xu Xingyin was a little stunned, but Xu Wanfeng still kept his brows down and looked pleasant, and even gave him a friendly reminder.

"Be careful, Princess."

"Uh...thank you."

Xu Xingyin was speechless, but he didn't want to refuse Xu Wanfeng's kindness, so he helped her get into the carriage.

Xu Xingyin's carriage was prepared by the Eastern Palace, and according to the rules, Xu Wanfeng was not allowed to ride in the same carriage.

As soon as Xu Xingyin got on the carriage, Xu Wanfeng consciously stepped down and got on the carriage behind.

Xu Xingyin hurriedly pulled Chen into the carriage. After the carriage started moving, Xu Xingyin began to chat with Chen in a low voice.

"My second sister... seems to have changed a lot?"

The last time he returned home, there were so many people coming and going in the mansion. Although Xu Wanfeng was there, Xu Xingyin did not pay much attention to her.

Now that they met alone, Xu Xingyin suddenly realized that Xu Wanfeng had changed a lot.

The person who used to be so reckless now lives like the Xu Wanxia of the past, so low-key that he is almost ignored.

Chen also felt a little emotional and sighed.

"I thought that with the relationship between the two families, Wanfeng should be able to live a decent life. But I never thought that after more than two years of marriage, she would be tortured like this by her in-laws. It really makes people feel sad."

Ling Lanxing was a little puzzled, "Just because you don't have a child, but it's only been more than two years?"

"Just because? You're already married, why are you still acting like a child? Offspring is a major matter of family inheritance, how many families don't care about it?"

Chen gouged out Ling Lanxing's eyes, and at this point she poked Ling Lanxing's forehead in disappointment.

"You, it's because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoiled you too much that you have developed such a worry-free personality! Mother tells you that you have to pay attention to all the affairs of the Eastern Palace, the management of the Eastern Palace's assets, and the matters of the heirs!

Although your second sister has no children, she still takes care of a lot of other things. If you just give up and don't take care of anything, when other girls take over the power of the Eastern Palace in the future, you won't even have a place to cry."

Xu Xingyin yawned and leaned lazily against the wall of the car. Jing Zhichen's angular face appeared in front of him.

Not having to deal with these trivial matters is probably the biggest advantage of her fake marriage with Jing Zhichen.

Just as Jing Zhichen had promised before marriage, the days after marriage were mostly comfortable for her.

There were no sisters scheming against each other, and no chaos. Instead, she was even more beautiful than when she was still a girl.

Sometimes she would even have the illusion that... this kind of life was pretty good.

Seeing Xu Xingyin's half-hearted look, Chen couldn't help but sigh. She was too lazy to lecture him anymore and turned the conversation back to Xu Wanfeng.

"I heard that Wanfeng's husband is now working under Lord Yang, and Lord Yang follows the orders of the Crown Prince. Now that Wanfeng is willing to show her goodwill, it must be the Chang family's intention."

Having said that, Chen sighed again.

"Speaking of which, this girl is not a bad person. She was used as a pawn by someone in the past. Sisters from the same clan are still connected even if their bones are broken. Wanfeng is having a hard time now. Even if she made some mistakes in the past, you should not hold it against her anymore."

Xu Xingyin also guessed the twists and turns and responded.

"Don't worry, mother. I know. As long as it doesn't go too far, I will give Second Sister enough face. But if she does it again, or if she damages the interests of the Eastern Palace, I will not show mercy."

Chen was very pleased that Xu Xingyin could say this. She nodded and patted her hands.

"Our Jiaojiao is becoming more and more like a crown princess!"

As the mother and daughter were talking, the carriage outside suddenly stopped, and then Lu Xu's familiar voice came in.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess."

Xu Xingyin lifted the car curtain and saw Lu Xu in casual clothes as expected.

"Ayang? Why are you here?"

"I came here to do my work. I saw the Crown Princess's procession on the way, so I came over to pay my respects."

Xu Xingyin glared at Lu Xu, "Why should we be polite to each other?"

Lu Xu smiled when he heard this, and seemed to be in a good mood, and asked again.

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? He didn't escort you up the mountain?"

Xu Xingyin blinked and still kindly defended Jing Zhichen.

"Your Highness wanted to send it, but it is a nunnery after all, so it is inconvenient."

"Uh." Lu Xu responded in a muffled voice, and then said, "Since we have met, why don't I give the Crown Princess a ride?"

Just as Xu Xingyin was about to answer, Chen beside him suddenly pulled him back. Then Chen lifted the curtain and smiled at Lu Xu.

"Ah Yang, the Crown Princess appreciates your kindness, but you don't have to see me off today. Going up the mountain to pray is a private matter, so how can I delay your work?"

Chen said this gently, but Lu Xu still heard the warning in it.

A private matter excluded Lu Xu from the "family".

Lu Xu's face turned pale when he thought of this, but Xu Xingyin was still a stranger and didn't understand the fight between the two at all.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Yes, it's just a small matter. It won't hinder Lord Lu from handling the big case and becoming famous all over the world!"

Lu Xu smiled awkwardly, but managed to bow dignifiedly.

"In that case, I will not bother you any more. I respectfully send you off, Crown Princess and Madam Duke."

After Lu Xu finished speaking, he stepped back a few steps to make way, bowed and lowered his head, acting like a humble subject.

The coachman whipped his whip and the carriage sped away.

Lu Xu felt a little disappointed. He looked at the place where the Crown Princess's procession disappeared without looking away. He didn't notice that someone was staring at him.

Let’s talk about Xu Xingyin.

Inside the car, Chen looked at the confused Xu Xingyin, pursed her lips, and didn't know how to start talking for a moment.

In the end, Xu Xingyin looked at Chen's hesitant look and felt a little puzzled.

"Just tell me what you want to say, mother."

Chen thought about it and reminded in a low voice.

"Things are different now. You are now the Crown Princess. You should have less contact with A Yang in the future. Although you grew up together, others don't know about it. If some rumors get out, it will be unpleasant. His Royal Highness will feel uncomfortable if he knows."

Xu Xingyin blurted out subconsciously, "He won't care."

Chen knew that Xu Xingyin was emotionally slow.

She was slow before, but Chen thought there was nothing wrong with it. The girl would be less likely to get hurt if she didn't take it too seriously.

But now, it has caused Chen a lot of headaches.

It was not easy to point it out, as it would make Xu Xingyin worried, so he had to stop talking about it.

"Anyway, you'd better be careful. Your Highness the Crown Prince is of such a noble status. If some rumors really spread, it will affect the reputation of the royal family, and Your Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to protect you!"

"Mother is right. Jiaojiao will remember it."

While the mother and daughter were talking, the carriage had already arrived at its destination - Funing Temple.
