After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

"Host, why didn't you just say directly that you did save Madam Yun? Why do you have to kneel in this ancestral hall and suffer?" Xiaobai's transparent figure floated in front of Lin Shuning, saying indignantly.

Lin Shuning lay on the mat, reached out to take a fruit offering and started eating: "You don't know this, right? Tomorrow the news that I saved Madam Yun will spread all over the streets and alleys. When Lin Cheng knows the truth, he will feel guilty. Then I will pretend to be wronged. On the one hand, I can use this excuse to ask him for more compensation, and on the other hand, I will teach Lin Rouan a lesson and make her lose her reputation in Lin Cheng's heart."

"Besides," Lin Shuning said in a sad tone, "I just found something wrong in the yard. There are signs that someone else has been here, and that person also smells like Die Yixiang. I think it must be He's doing. Although I don't know what she is going to do, it's definitely not a good thing. It's better to hide in this ancestral hall and be quiet and comfortable."

Lin Shuning tapped Xiaobai from a distance and said, "Learn from me. I'm killing three birds with one stone."

"Miss Third is indeed a good plan." A pleasant male voice full of charm suddenly sounded in the ancestral hall.

Lin Shuning looked at Xiaobai: "Did you speak just now?"

"No, my voice is not that bad!" Xiaobai floated around dissatisfiedly.

Lin Shuning stood up and looked towards the place where the sound came from. Her eyes were alert and she held a poison needle between her fingertips. Since it wasn't Xiaobai, it must be someone else. She had to be on guard.

Jiang Yu walked out from the shadows and looked at Lin Shuning with a half-smile: "Why are you so nervous, Miss Third? Weren't we friends who watched the same play last night?"

Seeing that it was him, Lin Shuning put away the poison needle and looked at his abdomen unconsciously: "I knew you were not from the mansion. How is your injury?"

"Thanks to the Third Miss's rescue, I'm much better now."

Lin Shuning responded, and couldn't help but recall the spring scenery he saw last night.

That waist, those abdominal muscles, that feel, ah, I really want to touch them again!

Hearing the voice in her heart, Jiang Yu's face became complicated. He calmed himself down and said, "Miss Third is a skilled doctor. I want to make a deal with you. How about you help me detoxify and I protect you? There are many people in this mansion who want to kill you."

Lin Shuning blinked her eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about? I am the third daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. Anyone who sees me must bow respectfully. Who dares to harm me? Besides, I have already cured you of the poison last night. I don't understand what you are saying."

This person could find her and appear in the Shangshu Mansion without anyone noticing. He must be of prominent status and extraordinary skills.

Furthermore, the poison in his body was both evil and rare. The fact that someone was willing to pay such a huge price to take this man's life showed how dangerous he was.

She didn't want to have anything to do with such a dangerous person.

"Go away, I want to sleep."

Lin Shuning turned over and faced Jiang Yu with her back, but her body was tense. As long as the man made any move, the poison needle in her hand would be shot out immediately.

Jiang Yu heard her thoughts and knew that if he wanted Lin Shuning to detoxify him, he needed to relax her vigilance and gain her trust. Today, he had to return empty-handed.

He turned and left. Lin Shuning then let down his guard, asked Xiaobai to watch over him, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, at Prince Rui’s Palace.

"Sixth brother, your mansion is really magnificent, much better than the one you lived in before. Father really loves you, it's really enviable!"

Jiang Che sat down with a swagger, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank it all without hesitation: "This tea must be top-grade Pu'er tea, right? I heard that it was a tribute from the Western Regions, and there are only three bags of it. Father is willing to give it to you!"

After saying this, his eyes fell on the antique porcelain vase placed beside him, and he exclaimed: "This is my favorite pattern. I begged my father for a long time but he still refused to give it to me!"

Jiang Yu looked at his seventh brother who was looking around and making a fuss, and helplessly held his forehead: "This vase and Pu'er tea were sent by mother. If you like them, why not go to her and ask for them."

Jiang Che snorted coldly and finally sat back in his seat: "Sixth brother, some people can't sit still when you come back this time. Third brother has been testing me a lot. Have I been in touch with you secretly during the years you left Beijing?"

"Sure enough," Jiang Yu curled his lips, "He is not an easy person to deal with. So what do you say?"

"Of course I said no," Jiang Che blinked, "I am loyal to you, Sixth Brother. Before you came back, the court was divided into two factions: the Crown Prince's Party and the Third Prince's Party. Now that you are back, although there will be turmoil, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince have been entangled for a long time, so our chances of winning are not great. However, if we can win over the General's Mansion, our chances of winning will be better."

Jiang Yu tapped his fingers on the table. "It's a pity that the general's family is only loyal to my father. They disdain the disputes among the civil officials and never participate in the affairs of the court."

After these words were spoken, even Jiang Che, who had always been smiling, turned serious.

"He tried to clear himself too much from what happened back then, which makes people suspicious," Jiang Yu said in a deep voice, "but everything requires evidence. You continue to keep an eye on him and let me know if anything happens."

After a moment, Jiang Yu seemed to think of something and asked, "Do you know what kind of gift should I choose if I want to give it to a woman?"

Jiang Che was startled, and then he was surprised. He jumped three feet high, rushed to Jiang Yu, patted his shoulder vigorously and said, "Sixth brother, you finally got it. I thought you would be alone in this life, and no woman would be able to catch your eye! Tell me, who is this girl from?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just answer the question." Jiang Yu suddenly began to regret. If this kid wasn't used to sweet talk to make people happy, he would have asked someone else.

"Sixth brother, you asked the right person. If you want to please a woman, the most important thing is not money, but sincerity. There is nothing more valuable than sincerity in the world. I think you might as well give her some food you made yourself, or a poem you wrote yourself..."

Jiang Che walked towards the vase while talking. At the end, he hugged the vase and said, "I have given you so many ideas. It's not too much for you to give me a vase as consulting fee!"

Before Jiang Yu could say anything, he quickly slipped away with the vase in his arms, as if he was afraid that Jiang Yu would go back on his word.

Jiang Yu's eyes were deep. He was not good at cooking, but he was good at painting and writing poetry.

On the other side, Lin Shuning was awakened by Xiaobai.

She opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Bai floating in front of her. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief: "You...how did you grow hands and feet? Can you grow again?!"

In the past, Xiaobai’s spirit was a white transparent ball, but now it has grown hands and feet. It looks so weird, just like... just like an emoticon with hands and feet (～￣▽￣)～.

Lin Shuning seemed to have thought of something, and his consciousness entered the space. Sure enough, all the silver he had obtained from the doctor was gone.

She gritted her teeth and spoke word by word: "Xiao! Bai!"

"I saved this money for a rainy day, but you stole it all to upgrade yourself. You pissed me off!"

After saying that, regardless of Xiaobai's explanation and struggle, Lin Shuning locked him in the space and blocked his voice.

She looked at the altar that had been cleared out last night and rubbed her belly. She didn't know when Lin Cheng would realize that he had misunderstood her.

At this moment, Lin Cheng, who was writing a memorial in the study, sneezed violently. His pen paused. For some reason, he had been feeling uneasy since yesterday, as if something was going to happen.

There was a gentle knock on the study door. Lin Rouan pushed it open and walked in with a bowl in hand: "Dad, this is the lotus seed soup that my daughter made by herself. How does it taste?"

"Rou'er is thoughtful," Lin Cheng smiled and said with emotion, "Among my three daughters, you are the only one who gives me the least worry. You are born of the same mother, but you and Lin Shuning are like heaven and earth. Sometimes I really wish I didn't have her as a daughter!"

Lin Rouan curled up the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, but before the smile reached his eyes, the voice of Butler Liu suddenly came from outside the door: "Master, the eldest son of the General's Mansion, Yun Sheng, is here and is waiting for you in the hall!"
