The old lady sighed helplessly: "We haven't seen each other for many years, hasn't it? Back then, I insisted on leaving him. If he didn't have any resentment in his heart, I wouldn't believe it!"

Aunt Qian persuaded: "But you can't help it. You are in a cage. You are depressed all day long. If you don't leave, you will really die!"

The old lady never regretted her leaving. The only thing she felt she couldn't face was Xiao Sheng.

He was already five or six years old at that time and should be able to remember things.

At first he thought she was really dead because she didn't eat or drink all day long.

Later, when he learned the truth from the furious emperor, he completely drew a clear line with the Pei family in Shicheng.

After all, she was the one who got him into trouble!

If he really had to marry a niece from the Fang family to repay his kindness, then she could choose another princess for him.

Her glorious son should be worthy of a gentle, virtuous and noble daughter.

However, the three of them had been waiting in the other courtyard for a long time and never saw Xiao Sheng coming.

Pei Jin was impatient and ran over to question the guard: "Where is the prince? Why did he put me here but avoid seeing me?"

The guard knew her identity and quickly said respectfully: "Miss, the prince has already gone to the hot spring village on the outskirts of Beijing. He will not come to the other courtyard again tonight!"

Pei Jin's expression changed suddenly. She didn't expect Xiao Sheng to neglect her so much.

Logically speaking, he should have guessed that his aunt was with him.

She gritted her teeth, and a thought suddenly appeared in her eyes. It must be that bitch Lin Ruoyou who seduced him and prevented them from seeing each other.

She hurried back to the old lady and said angrily: "Aunt, don't wait for my cousin, I'm afraid he won't come back tonight!"

Disappointment flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's going on?"

Pei Jin stomped her feet angrily: "That Lin Ruoyou is not very capable, but Hu Meizi is very capable. She is deliberately demonstrating to us. She knew that we would be living in another hospital tonight, but she gave her cousin to Go to the hot spring village!"

Aunt Qian subconsciously said: "This is too outrageous. The prince has a high status and has many things to do. How could he allow her to act like this?"

Pei Jin said with a gloomy face: "Can't you see it now? She wants to pester cousin Sheng to give her a child as soon as possible, hoping that the mother will be more valuable than the child. She is very scheming!"

The old lady narrowed her eyes, anger rising on her face.

She frowned and said: "No matter what, I can't let Sheng'er be criticized because of her. I heard that her mother is also a second-married daughter. As expected, like mother, like daughter, they are all shameless things! "

Pei Jin threw herself into her arms and acted coquettishly: "Aunt, you promised me back then that you would make me Brother Sheng's first concubine. You have to take care of Lin Ruoyou and ask her to make room for me!"

The old lady lowered her eyes and looked at the charming girl in her arms, and couldn't help but reach out and tap her nose: "You are not ashamed, how can any woman take the initiative to mention her marriage?"

She frowned: "Cousin Sheng and I made a marriage contract when we were still in the womb. Isn't that what you said? You raised me with your own hands, so I am the best candidate for your daughter-in-law!"

The old lady looked at Granny Qian: "Look at how shameless she is?"

Aunt Qian smiled and said: "My cousin is smart and cute. If she really marries the prince, she will definitely add some excitement to the regent's palace!"

The old lady nodded slowly: "Yes, although this girl Jin'er is naughty, she is obedient. The girl from the Pei family who I personally taught her is absolutely no different!"

Seeing that the old lady agreed to marry his cousin Sheng, Pei Jin was extremely happy.

She said quickly: "Aunt, I will take care of your bath. We can see Cousin Sheng tomorrow!"

The old lady did not refuse and allowed her and Grandma Qian to get busy.

The next day, Lin Ruoyou woke up from a bout of backache.

She wanted to struggle to get up, but found that her physical condition was worse than after the wedding night, as if she was about to fall apart.

Xiao Sheng came in with sweet porridge from outside and met her eyes full of resentment.

She was dissatisfied and said: "It's all your fault. I don't even have the strength to stand up. If my eldest sister and mother see me, they will definitely laugh to death!"

While feeding her sweet porridge with a spoon, he said softly: "There is no need to go to see them. Let's go directly back to the Regent's Palace. When the time comes, I will carry you out of the carriage and no one will be able to see you!"

What Lin Ruoyou could say, she couldn't be brave now.

I have to say that the ointment given to her by the eldest sister really worked. After applying it, it didn't hurt so much.

But it also made him more presumptuous!

She struggled so much that her throat became hoarse from crying!

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and quickly lowered her head and drank the sweet porridge.

On the carriage ride back, he was very honest and took the initiative to peel oranges for her, filling her mouth with a sweet and sour taste.

Arriving at the Prince Regent's Palace soon, he carried her directly through the door.

However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the main courtyard, he was stopped by a resentful cry: "Cousin? Why did you come back?"

Xiao Sheng frowned and turned around, and saw a white-haired woman wearing brocade clothes standing next to Pei Jin.

His arm holding Lin Ruoyou suddenly tightened, and there was a hint of coldness and resentment in his eyes.

Lin Ruoyou felt his strength and couldn't help but subconsciously remind: "A Sheng?"

Xiao Sheng woke up from his dream, and said with a stern face: "Why did you come here without permission if I didn't let you live in another courtyard?"

Pei Jin explained aggrievedly: "My aunt and I want to meet you. After so many years, don't you miss her? She is yours!"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted sharply by Xiao Sheng: "Shut up, she is my aunt, the twin sister of my dead mother-in-law!"

Pei Jin was so frightened that her face turned pale and ugly. She subconsciously looked at the old lady beside her, whose eyes were filled with shock and uneasiness.

She suddenly lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly: "Yes, my sister died in the royal harem back then. It must have been 15 years, right?"

15 years, about ten years, Xiao Sheng spent in purgatory.

In the remaining five years, he made outstanding military achievements and became an iron-blooded regent that the royal family could not ignore.

If Lin Ruoyou hadn't come to him, he might not know what happiness and sweetness felt like.

Subconsciously, he hugged the little girl in his arms tightly and strode towards the courtyard.

Pei Jin wanted to chase after him, but was directly stopped by Tie Shi: "No one is allowed to break into the courtyard where the prince and princess live. Miss Pei, please step back!"

Pei Jin stamped her feet angrily. She turned to look at the old lady: "Aunt, don't you care about my cousin?"

The old lady sighed helplessly: "Let's go to the teahouse and wait for him!"

Pei Jin bit her lip in hatred before following her and leaving.

She was dissatisfied and said: "Does that stinky woman have no feet? She was actually carried back by cousin Sheng, and she didn't feel ashamed in front of everyone!"
