Ke Xin stared at Zheng's belly quietly, then quickly looked away. However, that glance still made Zheng feel uneasy.

Zheng did not dare to be presumptuous. She presented her gift respectfully and said in a gentle voice, "This is a little thing I made myself. I hope the Crown Prince's wife will not dislike it."

It was a red purse embroidered with mandarin ducks and a line of small words "Happiness for a Hundred Years" on the side.

No matter what he thought in his heart, Shang Tingli took it with a smile: "Aunt Zheng is thoughtful."

Zheng smiled and bowed.

……

Back at Xinyuan, Ke Xin arranged lunch.

I got up early to go to the palace, and came back to serve tea. I had been hungry all morning.

"From now on, you will be responsible for all matters in the new garden. Just ask the small kitchen to prepare whatever you want to eat. You are the Crown Prince's Consort, and they dare not neglect you."

"Oh... okay." Shang Tingli responded.

Although I don't understand his intention, it won't be wrong to agree obediently.

Ke Xin never asked anyone to serve him when he had meals, and the same was true for Shang Tingli. At this time, there were only the two of them in the room, and Fang Zhi and the others were sent downstairs to eat.

Thinking of her "revenge", Ke Xin pretended to be chatting casually and said, "The Queen Mother's intervention in our marriage is really too sudden."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Xin frowned. These words didn't sound casual, but rather deliberate.

Shang Tingli nodded blankly.

[Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? Well, my Lord, if you really have nothing to talk about, you can just eat without talking. ]

Ke Xin stared at her: "I know you have never thought of marrying into my Prince Ren's mansion. If you still have feelings for me, I can..." arrange for you to live your own life in the side courtyard without disturbing each other.

He felt that they both understood what was not fully expressed.

[What can I do? Can I be generous and turn a blind eye and pretend that I don’t know that my wife is chatting and laughing with outsiders? ]

Shang Tingli was extremely curious.

Ke Xin sneered: If that's the case, I can break that guard's legs.

No matter what she thought, Shang Tingli said: "No matter what, I have married the prince. I am yours in life and yours in death. Others have nothing to do with me anymore."

[Still feeling for him? If you mean the kind of feeling where you want to stab him to death, where you wish he would die, then I can reluctantly admit that I do still have feelings for him.]

Ke Xin raised his eyebrows: "I thought Miss Shang was deeply in love with someone..."

Shang Tingli's face froze and he looked a little ugly.

[I have a deep affection for that beast Ji Zhang? Stupid, which eye did you see that from? Be careful or I will dig it out while you are asleep at night.]

Ke Xin: “…”

[In my previous life, the villain Ji Zhang took advantage of me and rose to higher positions. In the end, he fell in love with the weeds outside and thought I was in the way, so he killed me, his first wife, with a sword.]

[I still have deep feelings for him? Haha, don't let me get a chance to stab him to death. Let him know how deep my "affection" is.]

Ke Xin's head trembled.

It turns out...she didn't have a good ending either.

Shang Tingli smiled widely and said gently, "I have never done that before, and I will only do that to you, my lord, in the future. Wherever you are, my heart is there."

"..."

Seeing her shy look as if she was the best in the world, Ke Xin curled the corners of his mouth silently. He saw and heard it clearly just now.

Not only did she quietly roll her eyes, she also called him an idiot in her heart.

Ke Xin couldn't catch her and could only remain speechless.

It seems that the "revenge" she mentioned refers to, on the one hand, Yu Lanxi kicking her into Prince Ren's mansion, and on the other hand, Ji Zhang killing his wife in his previous life.

After lunch, Ke Xin left the house.

Shang Tingli ordered Fang Zhi and Gan Tang to go to the warehouse to count the dowry.

In this life, because she married into Prince Ren's Mansion, the Marquis Yi Zhong's Mansion, in order to save face, had to give her a lot of good things, and even returned the dowry left to her by her mother to her intact.

This never happened in my previous life.

In her previous life, not only did she not return her mother's dowry, but her dowry was also pitifully small. It was not until she helped Ji Zhang climb to the second rank that Pan gritted her teeth and returned her mother's dowry. At that time, Pan swallowed a lot of it and was unwilling to spit it out.

Under the strong oppression of Pan, she has never been able to make a name for herself. If she had not lived cautiously, she would be in some corner now.

In fact, even if Yu Lanxi got the Queen Mother's decree as she wished and nailed her to death in Prince Ren's mansion, she would still be sincerely grateful to Yu Lanxi for the marriage exchange.

No matter what the final result is, she can at least hold her head high and no longer have to live in humiliation under someone else's roof.

But one thing is for sure, Yu Lanxi wishes she were dead, so she naturally won't let Yu Lanxi have an easy time.

Let's wait and see.

Going back to the parents' home tomorrow... To be honest, Shang Tingli really doesn't want to go back and deal with that hypocritical family.

But the world is like this, she had to go back.

"Elder Concubine."

Fangzhi and Gantang came out from outside the house.

Shang Tingli smiled and asked, "How is it? Is there anything wrong?"

The two bowed, and Fang Zhi smiled: "Replying to the Crown Prince's Consort, no."

"You are not marrying Guard Ji, how dare Madam Hou withhold the things that Madam left for you?" Gan Tang smiled with sparkling eyes, "If she really wants to do this, I'm afraid Miss Lan Xi's dowry will be indecent."

Even for Yu Lanxi, there was no reason for Pan to withhold the dowry that their wife had left for the Crown Prince's Consort.

Shang Tingli smiled and said, "As long as there is nothing wrong."

Things are different now. Pan is a lady from a big family, so naturally she didn't dare to do anything.

There was no problem with the dowry, but she was afraid that there might be other unexpected things. Fang Zhi said with a worried look on her face: "When you return home tomorrow, will the prince..."

Shang Tingli knew what she was worried about.

Fangzhi and Gantang had been with her since she was seven years old. They were the maids that her mother had chosen for her. When she was ten years old, after her parents passed away, the two followed her into the Yizhong Marquis's mansion. From then on, they followed her wherever she went and were always loyal to her.

The two have opposite personalities. Fang Zhi is more stable, so she is more cautious. Gan Tang is more lively, so he is more careless.

Fang Zhi was worried that Ke Xin would not accompany her back home tomorrow, making a fool of herself in the Marquis' Mansion.

Shang Tingli herself didn't care about this. Besides, in her previous life, Ke Xin had never accompanied Yu Lanxi back home. She thought that even if it happened to her, the result would be the same, so why bother?

Shang Tingli was open-minded about this matter: "Whether it happens or not, we are all going back from the palace. As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. Can the Marquis' wife still embarrass us?"

Gan Tang muttered, "That's hard to say. Madam Hou is a person who always looks down on others."

Fang Zhi pulled her sleeve and advised, "We just arrived at the mansion, and we have no idea what's going on there. If people hear you gossiping about the Marquis' wife behind her back, what will they think? I'm afraid it will cause criticism and make people think that our Crown Prince's Consort is an ungrateful person who can't be tamed."
