I made the villain right.

A maid walked towards Shi Jin, bowed, and said softly, "Princess, the general asks you to move to the main hall."

"Okay," Shi Jin responded, and said goodbye to Xie Ru.

When she came to the main hall, she found that King Shengqing was still there. After Shi Wei saw her, he stepped aside, leaving her and King Shengqing some space alone.

After all, King Shengqing was her elder and of noble status. She couldn't help feeling nervous and a little awkward when she was alone in a room with King Shengqing.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became solemn and awkward.

After a long while, the Holy King broke the silence and said, "How have you and Nan Nan been doing lately?"

There was an unnatural hint of concern in his voice.

Shi Jin lowered his head and replied, "We are all fine."

Her words were polite yet distant, and she was secretly wondering what his intention was in calling her here.

"Uh……"

King Shengqing looked embarrassed, as if he was having a fierce struggle in his heart, and for a moment he didn't know how to express himself.

Shi Jin saw this and understood what was happening, so he took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, please feel free to speak."

She raised her eyes slightly, her gaze clear and calm.

As if he had made up his mind, the Holy King said, "You know Nan Nan quite well. I would like to ask you how to get along with him."

Shi Jin hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Your Majesty, regarding Lin Mu's death, A Yu could have denied it outright, but he chose to tell you the truth. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

Shi Jin raised his eyes to look at the Shengqing King, his eyes were sincere and sincere: "Ayu once said that the prince is his family, and he doesn't want to deceive you."

When King Shengqing heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, his face changed, and a barely perceptible trace of guilt and pity flashed in his eyes.

Shi Jin locked his gaze with the eyes of the Shengqing King, and struck while the iron was hot, and then asked: "What about you, Your Majesty? Do you treat him as a real family member?"

The Holy King blurted out without hesitation: "Of course!"

Shi Jin nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his lips: "In this case, the most important things for a family to get along with each other are understanding, respect, communication and tolerance, and these are exactly what the prince and A Yu lack."

She paused slightly, her eyes softened, and then said:

"In your daily interactions, if you encounter disagreements, communicate with each other. If he makes mistakes unintentionally, you might as well be more tolerant, accept his imperfections, and respect every decision he makes. If you can do this, getting along will no longer be difficult, and the father-son relationship between the prince and A Yu will become increasingly deep."

King Shengqing listened quietly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he was savoring Shi Jin's words.

"I have something to ask you, Your Majesty. When you learned that Lin Mu was killed by A Yu, were you disappointed with him? Or did you regret recognizing him?"

King Shengqing frowned slightly, his expression becoming serious: "No! I have never blamed him, I just feel that I owe him too much over the years. No matter what happens, I will stand by his side."

There was firmness in his words and a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"But right now, Ayu doesn't know what you're thinking and has misunderstood you. He thinks you're disappointed in him and regrets recognizing him. So the first thing you have to do now is to communicate with him, exchange your sincerity for sincerity, tell him your inner thoughts, and eliminate the misunderstanding."

When the Holy King heard this, his thatched cottage suddenly opened.

He looked at Shi Jin with eyes full of gratitude, "I am grateful for your advice."

King Shengqing showed a gratified smile on his face and looked at Shi Jin gently: "Today, I finally understand why Nan Nan loves you so much. From now on, you can call me father or king just like Nan Nan did."

Shi Jin was delighted, but he still kept a dignified smile on his face and replied obediently, "Yes, father."

After King Shengqing stood up and left, Shi Jin could no longer suppress his inner joy and a bright smile appeared on his face.

She whispered to herself, "I think I have gained my father-in-law's approval."

Shi Jin was in a good mood and skipped out the door with brisk steps.

A moment later, she ran into Shi Wei, who was returning from seeing off a guest, in the corridor.

Shi Jin approached Shi Wei and asked tentatively, "Father, I heard that the Holy King came here to propose marriage to Senior Sister Xie, and to promote the marriage between Big Brother and Senior Sister Xie. I wonder if Father agrees to this marriage?"

Shi Wei's expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of surprise: "No, it's strange, but for some reason Miss Xie suddenly changed her mind and said frankly that she didn't like your brother, so the matter was dropped."

Shi Jin raised his eyebrows slightly: "I know what's going on."

"Why?"

Shi Jin said mysteriously, "It's because my eldest brother already has a girl he likes."

"When did your brother find someone he liked? How come I didn't know?"

"It's just that this matter has not been concluded yet, so I still need your help, Dad."

A sly light flashed across Shi Jin's eyes, and he whispered in Shi Wei's ear.

After hearing this, Shi Wei was a little skeptical: "Will this work?"

Shi Jin's lips curled slightly: "You will know if you try it."

Soon, Shi Jin left the general's mansion.

When her carriage was about to reach Fan Mansion, the Fengyun Pavilion secret guards hiding in the dark had already noticed it and immediately passed the information back to Fan Mansion.

At that time, Fan Hua was in the study, thinking hard about what gift he should make for Shi Jin.

Suddenly, Du Xuan hurried in and said, "Pavilion Master, the Madam is back."

Fan Hua's usually calm face showed a hint of joy as he thought about how to make Shi Jin happy later.

He immediately strode towards the mansion gate with big strides, his clothes fluttering.

Soon, Shi Jin's carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted slightly, and as soon as Shi Jin's figure appeared, Fan Hua quickly came to the front of the carriage.

As soon as Shi Jin got off the carriage, he saw Fan Hua standing outside the carriage waiting for him. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time, waiting to help Shi Jin get off the carriage.

He reached out his hand to Shi Jin, motioning for her to help him down, and she helped him get off the carriage.

Fan Hua's eyes never left Shi Jin's face. He carefully observed her expression and guessed her emotions, his eyes full of concern.

His gaze was too intense for Shi Jin to ignore. She glared at him coquettishly, "If you keep looking at me, you'll see through my face. Just say what you want to say."

"Are you still mad at me?"

Shi Jin wasn't really angry with him.

She smiled, looked at him softly, and comforted him, "I'm not angry, don't let your imagination run wild."

When Fan Hua saw the smile on Shi Jin's face and the tenderness in her eyes when she looked at him, he believed her words.

He actually liked looking into her eyes, which were clear and lively. Whenever she looked at him, love surged in her eyes, making him feel that her heart and eyes were filled with him.

"That's good." Fan Hua looked at her lovingly and touched her head affectionately.

Then the two of them entered the mansion hand in hand.

Shi Xiaomian stood at the gate of the mansion, looking at the backs of the two people, and couldn't help but complain: "It turns out that in the third person's perspective, these two people are so disgusting."

After saying that, she shook her head slightly and went in after a while.

In an elegantly decorated house, Shi Jin sat at the ebony table.

Zhilu deftly took out several plates of exquisite pastries from the food box and placed them one by one on the ebony table.

Shi Jin glanced at the cakes on the table and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

Zhilu smiled slightly: "This is what the prince specially asked me to prepare. These are all the cakes that the prince's wife likes to eat."

Shi Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Fan Hua with a hint of inquiry.

"If someone is too nice to me for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Tell me, what do you want from me?" Shi Jin's voice was playful.

Fan Hua picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and gently handed it to Shi Jin's mouth.

Shi Jin opened her red lips slightly, took a bite, then took it from his hand and started eating it.

"I made you angry yesterday, so I wanted to coax you today." Fan Hua said softly, with a hint of flattery in his voice.

She pretended to be angry yesterday to cover up her lie, but she didn't expect that he cared about her so much.

Then he thought of the fact that he had specially asked Pei Luoheng to help him clarify the rumors.

Her heart was deeply moved and she felt very happy.

A look of pity suddenly appeared in Shi Jin's eyes, and she picked up a piece of cake and fed it to him.

"Ayu, thank you."

"Hmm?" Shi Jin's sudden thanks startled Fan Hua. He stopped biting the cake and took it from her.

"Thank you for asking Pei Luoheng to help me clarify the rumors and clear my name."

Fan Hua's lips curved up and she smiled brightly: "These are what a husband should do."

Then he looked puzzled and asked, "How do you know this?"

"Today, the Holy Lord, oh no, it was my father who brought Senior Sister Xie to the General's Mansion to propose marriage, intending to promote the marriage between Senior Sister Xie and my eldest brother. Senior Sister Xie mentioned this to me unintentionally."

When Fan Hua heard Shi Jin change her words to call King Shengqing "father", he knew that she had accepted her father. A warm feeling surged in his heart and the smile on his lips deepened.

"How does the father-in-law respond?"

"Dad wants to respect Big Brother's wishes."

Shi Jin's mouth curled up into a smug smile, "But I interfered with it. I persuaded Senior Sister Xie to change her mind, and the matter was dropped."

Shi Jin said thoughtfully: "In my opinion, Yiyi and Big Brother clearly have feelings for each other, but they just won't say it. I want to take this opportunity to fuel the flames and take their relationship a step further."

Shi Jin turned to look at Fan Hua: "What's going on over there? How are Du Xuan and Zhi Lu?"

Seeing that the topic suddenly turned to him, Fan Hua was slightly stunned, and then said: "Du Xuan already knows Zhilu's feelings, but he wants to make full preparations before expressing his feelings to Zhilu."

In an instant, he raised his eyebrows, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and led the topic into his trap: "Mianmian, we can't just talk about other people's affairs, let's talk about you and me too."

"What to talk about?"

"Have you thought of a gift for me?"

Shi Jin shook his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Can I specify a gift?"

Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "What gift do you want?"

"Please make a scented bag for me. A woman giving a man a scented bag is a token of her love."

"Sachet? But I'm not good at needlework."

"It doesn't matter. I'll like it as long as it's made by you."

Seeing Shi Jin's hesitation, he added fuel to the fire and pretended to be pitiful and said, "Today, when I entered the palace to see the emperor, His Majesty showed off his sachet to me, saying that it was given by Miss Yun. He also laughed at us for not being on good terms, as you didn't even give me a sachet."

He knew that Shi Jin cared about him and was soft-hearted, and couldn't bear to see him being wronged, so these words would surely make her agree to it.

Moreover, Xu Wusheng intended to show off to him, so it was reasonable for him to take advantage of the situation.

After hearing this, Shi Jin's face immediately showed annoyance: "I didn't expect that Xu Wusheng is this kind of person. Don't worry, I will definitely make a sachet for him."

Seeing that his plan had been accomplished, Fan Hua curled the corners of his mouth slightly, with a meaningful look.
