The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Xue Mingyue understood it as soon as she realized that Xiao Yu died young in his previous life.

Moreover, during the autumn hunt, the group of poisonous snakes they encountered in the mountains were obviously well prepared. At first, she wondered if someone was trying to kill her, but later she found out that it was not the case.

In addition, Xie Lang had told her what the third prince had done these days.

Among them was the murder of a snake.

It’s just… Xue Mingyue could maintain a calm attitude towards other people, but this was the first time in her two lives that she got along with Xiao Yu. They had similar personalities, and before that, she didn’t even know that he was a prince.

That is, I don’t know where he will go in the future.

Xue Mingyue's mind was wandering for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she suppressed her emotions and went to the main hall with Xie Lang to meet people.

When the two of them arrived at the main hall, Xiao Yu had not arrived yet.

After waiting for a while, I saw a small figure appear under the moon arch not far away. Xiao Yu was dressed warmly and wore a furry hat. He looked like a cute little bear.

Behind him, there were two palace servants.

Xie Lang's eyes flickered when he saw this, no one knew better than him how wary Emperor Jingping was of him now. The fact that the Sixth Prince was accompanied by palace servants this time at least proved that he did not sneak out.

Emperor Jingping would not let him get close to the Marquis's Mansion, so there was only one person left who could make the decision in the palace.

When Xiao Yu approached, the couple bowed to him first.

Seeing Xiao Yu standing in the wind and about to speak, Xue Mingyue felt helpless and had to ask him to go into the hall first.

In fact, it is not easy to have a conversation in the hall, after all, there is cold wind blowing from all directions.

Even if a hot water charcoal basin was prepared in advance, it could only be used temporarily, so when entertaining guests in winter, people usually took them to the courtyard or study. Unfortunately, Xiao Yu was a prince, and it would be neglectful to do so.

"No need to be so polite, I came here unexpectedly as a friend to visit you. I heard that Sister Xue was frightened, so I wanted to come and see if Sister Xue is feeling better."

Xiao Yu's little face turned a little red due to the cold wind.

The tension in his whole body visibly relaxed after he stepped into Marquis Dingyuan's Mansion and saw the person in person.

At this moment, he was sitting on a cushioned chair, holding a familiar hot drink. For a moment, he felt that the coldness in his body had melted away, and his eyes were curved.

Xue Mingyue was a little surprised and blinked, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine."

Xiao Yu knew that what she said was true when he saw her rosy face.

While feeling relieved, he recalled his father's pale face, which showed he was obviously exhausted the last time he saw him, and he couldn't help but fall silent.

"Since you are okay, I am glad. These are the supplements I brought for you from the palace."

As he said this, he turned around and waved.

The young eunuch immediately stepped forward and handed all the gift boxes he had brought to the maid beside him.

Xue Mingyue had no choice but to thank him.

At this moment, Xie Lang suddenly asked, "It's cold in winter. Did Your Highness inform His Majesty and the Queen before leaving the palace?"

Seeing that he asked about this matter all of a sudden, Xiao Yu immediately turned his eyes away guiltily.

As expected, he and Lord Xie just couldn't get along!

But as long as he thought that he couldn't enter the palace to verify, Xiao Yu straightened his back and said loudly and confidently: "Of course, if Your Highness doesn't have the token, how can I leave the palace?"

It seems that as long as he speaks loudly, he is right.

Xie Lang: "..."

Xue Mingyue couldn't help but close her eyes, thinking: I know, I know, he definitely didn't sneak out of the palace without the emperor's permission.

It can be said that he was both lucky and unlucky to leave the palace and come to Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion at this critical juncture.

Xiao Yu didn't care whether they believed it or not. He had already left the palace. If Marquis Xie wanted to send him back now, he would not agree. At worst, he would just lie on the ground and throw a tantrum.

He looked at Xue Mingyue, hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I heard that Third Brother asked someone to embarrass Sister, and caused Sister to be frightened."

Xie Lang raised his eyebrows slightly.

So this is what he came for? Xue Mingyue blinked in surprise.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'm not frightened by this," she smiled with her eyes curved. "Since Your Highness has heard about this, you should also have heard that I scolded the man back on the spot."

Xu Yingying was at a disadvantage at that time.

It's no use at all for her to label him as heartless and ungrateful.

There was a hint of pride in Xue Mingyue's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately nodded and snorted indignantly, saying, "She actually begged you for mercy! If her father was truly innocent, the guards would have released him even without her pleading."

After saying this, he cursed: "This is a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt!"

Xue Mingyue immediately gave him an admiring look. This was just a case of trying to cover up one's own mistake.

Noticing the atmosphere of mutual admiration between the two, Aunt Jiang, who was standing behind Xiao Yu, had a complex look in her eyes. The Queen was still worried that Xue Mingyue was deliberately making friends with His Highness, but looking at this situation...

These two people can really play together.

Aunt Jiang raised her head and glanced at Marquis Dingyuan who was sitting in the upper seat. Seeing that he not only did not stop it, but also looked quite laissez-faire, she could not help but fall into deep thought.

If it was someone else being scolded, such as the Third Prince, Xue Mingyue would definitely not follow Xiao Yu in scolding, but for people like Xu Yingying and Xue Xujun, she only hated herself for not having an extra mouth.

The two, one adult and one child, chatted for a long time about recent events.

Xie Langcai finally spoke slowly: "Since Your Highness wants to reminisce about the past, why don't you come with us to sit down next door? There is a fire going on there. I will order some tea and snacks to be served, and you can continue reminiscing about the past."

"That's daring!"

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up immediately.

Xue Mingyue naturally had no objection, but after noticing that he said 'you' instead of 'we', she turned around and glanced at Xie Lang.

Xie Lang blinked at her quickly and then smiled.

She immediately understood what he meant.

She took the initiative to lead Xiao Yu to the next room, arranged for him to sit on the couch, and sent all the other maids and palace servants outside.

"If Your Highness had come any later, you might have missed us." Xue Mingyue sighed.

Xiao Yu was surprised: "Huh?"

"The Marquis and I are preparing to go to my grandfather's place today. The auspicious day for reburying my mother is tomorrow, so if Your Highness comes again this afternoon, you may not be able to see us."

Xue Mingyue was very direct and frank when she said this.

Firstly, she was already familiar with him, and secondly, there was no outsider here, so there was no need to continue to be polite.

Xiao Yu obviously didn't expect that he would hit the mark by accident. He was happy at first, but then he noticed the other words in her words and soon matched them with the recent rumors in the capital.

"Sister really did a great job without making a fuss."
