Shang Tingli shook his head silently.

It seemed that apart from the Fourth Prince and Ke Xingchen himself, no one else knew who Ke Xingchen belonged to. Even the Fourth Prince had never told his own people that Ke Xingchen was from his faction.

But think about it, how could the Fourth Prince regard Ke Xingchen as his own after he had caused such a disaster in his previous life? In his eyes, Ke Xingchen was just a tool.

"What is your purpose today, cousin? You might as well tell me directly."

Shang Tingli didn't want to waste time with him, so he spoke directly.

She guessed that Yu Lanxi had two purposes. One was that Yu Jing asked Yu Lanxi to be the middleman to coax her back. The other was that Yu Lanxi came to test her again.

As for Yu Lanxi's words to discredit the prince? I think it was Yu Lanxi's improvisation.

Yu Lanxi couldn't help but pout, and said very dissatisfiedly: "What purpose could I have? I was so frank with you, but you suspected that I had other purposes, so what can I say?"

Shang Tingli was unmoved: "It seems that my cousin really has nothing else to do, so I will leave first."

She put down the teacup in her hand and pretended to get up and leave.

"Hey don't-"

Yu Lanxi reacted faster than her brain and grabbed her sleeve.

She turned around and asked doubtfully, "Cousin, is there anything else?"

"What's the hurry to leave?"

Shang Tingli smiled: "Since everything is fine, do you still want to stay here and drink tea with your cousin to continue the sisterhood?"

Yu Lanxi turned her head away: "That's not necessary." She looked very embarrassed, "There's one more thing."

Shang Tingli asked, "What's the matter?"

She sat back down in her seat.

Yu Lanxi simply said: "My father wants you to go back to the mansion."

"I was going back to the mansion too." Shang Tingli said naturally. He was speechless when he saw her look. He seemed to have just realized what she meant and covered his mouth in surprise. "Could it be... that my uncle wants me to go to the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion?"

"if not?"

Yu Lanxi raised her chin.

It was impossible for her to invite her out, and then invite her back to the mansion after she got outside, right? This was just a joke.

Shang Tingli curled his lips and said, "Didn't my uncle say that I was an ungrateful person? Why do you want me, an ungrateful person, to go back now? Aren't you afraid that I will piss him off to death when I go back?"

Yu Lanxi herself didn't understand what her father meant, but even though she didn't understand, she still had to do what he said.

She said, "This is just a misunderstanding. I hope my cousin Tingli doesn't take it seriously."

Shang Tingli: "Misunderstanding?"

Yu Lanxi bit her lower lip: "Cousin, don't you believe me?"

Shang Tingli smiled.

"It's like this, my father asked you to go back because he wants to clear up the misunderstanding between us. After all, we are a family, so there's no overnight grudge." Yu Lanxi tried to persuade.

If it were in the past, she would have walked away in disdain. But now was different. She always felt that her father didn't love her as much as before after she changed her marriage.

She was also afraid that her father would ignore her.

She didn't want to be torn to pieces like in her previous life, nor did she want to spend the rest of her life in prison like Yu Lingling. She just wanted to live a life like Shang Tingli in her previous life, with an imperial decree and wealth.

Therefore, she had to fulfill her father's request to her. What if she failed and her father gave up on her in the future?

"From what my cousin said, could there be some hidden story?" Shang Tingli smiled, "Or does your uncle want to apologize to me, your niece?"

If Yu Jing wanted to apologize to her, it was not impossible for her to go to the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion.

Of course, she knew very well that Yu Jing would never really apologize to her. This was just an excuse, presumably for some purpose, but she couldn't guess what it was yet.

Yu Lanxi wanted to sneer at her words and scold her for dreaming, but the reality was that Yu Lanxi had to coax her in a gentle voice: "Cousin, you are right. My father does want to apologize to you. He said that he, as your uncle, did something stupid. I hope my cousin can go back so that he can clear up the misunderstanding with you."

Shang Tingli was a little puzzled: "But if my uncle wanted to apologize to me, why didn't he come to the palace to look for me?"

She was pretending, of course.

Yu Jing's original intention was not to apologize to her, so how could he come to cause trouble? He wanted to let her marry into the family, but later on he caused trouble for her.

Yu Lanxi suppressed her anger and said, "What did my cousin say? Didn't I fail to see you last time?"

"I caught a cold last time and it was hard for my uncle and aunt to get angry. Are you blaming me, cousin?"

"...Nothing."

Shang Tingli laughed again: "That's good. Besides, I've recovered from my cold, and I haven't heard that my uncle has come to visit me."

Yu Lanxi drank tea to calm down her anger, and then said, "My cousin also knows about my second sister's matter. My father has been very busy these two days, so my cousin may go back with me today?"

Shang Tingli held the teacup and pondered.

Yu Lanxi was not in a hurry to urge him.

After a moment, Shang Tingli looked over and said, "Yes, but I have to go back home first."

Yu Lanxi frowned: "Can't you come with me?"

"Cousin, don't you know me?" She smiled, "I always keep my word."

"Okay, I'll trust you this time."

For some reason, Yu Lanxi always felt that her smile had an ambiguous meaning.

It was her credit that she called the person back. It was not her fault that she failed to call him back. If her father insisted on blaming her, then he could go there himself.

Anyway, from the beginning to the end, she didn't want to mend the relationship with him. She wished she could draw a line earlier to avoid trouble in the future.

Shang Tingli nodded, put down his teacup and immediately stood up, "Fang Zhi, Gan Tang."

She waited until the two maids outside opened the door before she walked out.

In the blink of an eye, the beautiful figure disappeared at the door.

Yu Lanxi narrowed her eyes.

She didn't know whether Shang Tingli was really not reborn. If he was reborn, Shang Tingli looked ignorant. But if he was not, the changes in Ke Yi and Ke Yishang were always weird.

Can a person's acting skills really be so flawless?

It doesn't matter, no matter whether it is or not, some endings are already determined, no matter how much Shang Tingli does, it will be in vain. Moreover, watching the person you hate the most struggling in the quagmire and finally dying in despair is really a pleasant feeling.

Chunnuan and Qiuling walked in.

"Madam, why did the Crown Prince's wife leave? Didn't you reach an agreement?" Qiu Ling asked with concern: "Why didn't you let me stop her? If the Marquis..."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Yu Lanxi stared at her coldly.

Qiu Ling was shocked and shook her head, "I didn't..."

"Chun Nuan, slap him." Yu Lanxi ordered coldly.

"Yes." Chun Nuan quickly responded, turned around and slapped Qiu Ling.

"what--"

Qiu Ling staggered, covered her face and screamed, then knelt on the ground skillfully, "I know I'm wrong!"

Yu Lanxi said: "Continue."

"Yes!"

Chunnuan slapped Qiu Ling several times, and she didn't stop until Yu Lanxi shouted for her to stop.

After she finished beating her, Qiu Ling's originally delicate face was so swollen that it was unsightly.

Only then did Yu Lanxi feel satisfied.

Dare to teach her how to do things? Then you have to be mentally prepared, this is the end.

……

As soon as they got into the carriage, Gan Tang couldn't help but say, "Princess, I noticed that Miss Lan Xi's two maids were not very sober."

"How to say?"

Gan Tang said, "You don't know that Chun Nuan actually dared to ask me and Fang Zhi about you and the prince."

After saying that, she said "Pooh".

Shang Tingli opened his eyes and asked, "What happened between me and the prince?"

A maid asked about her and Ke Xingchen?

"Yes."

The two girls responded in unison.

Gan Tang looked annoyed: "I don't know how Miss Lan Xi disciplines her servants. She is so tactless."

Shang Tingli moved his mouth and said, "How could the two girls think of asking about these things? It's just that the master wants to hear it."

It can be seen that Yu Lanxi has fallen in love with Ke Xingchen. Since she was willing to exchange the bride in the first place, this so-called affection may not be able to overcome all difficulties.

Now he wants to find out the relationship between her and Ke Xingchen? What's the purpose? Even if we take a step back, she and Ke Xingchen are husband and wife, so even if there is something going on, it is perfectly reasonable.

She was speechless and could only sigh that this cousin really had never had a brain.

"what?"

Gan Tang and Fang Zhi looked at each other, two different pairs of eyes showing the same shock, and then looked at Shang Tingli together: "Are you saying that it was Miss Lan Xi's own idea for Chun Nuan and Qiu Ling to inquire about you and the prince?"

It turned out that they thought too simply. They thought that Chun Nuan and Qiu Ling were asking them about the Crown Prince's Consort and the Crown Prince because they had bad intentions and wanted to make fun of the Crown Prince's Consort. But they didn't know that there was actually the shadow of Miss Lan Xi, and it was Miss Lan Xi's intention!

Oh my God, she was the one who said she wanted to change her marriage. She was so desperate at first, and now she is snooping into other people's affairs. What does Miss Lan Xi want to do?

The two girls were shocked beyond words.

Shang Tingli chuckled: "It's very obvious."

Fang Zhi said with a complicated expression, "We are blinded by one thing." She couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Miss Lan Xi is..." She paused and continued with some difficulty, "Is it Master Xinyue?"

After asking, she silently glanced at her master's expression.

Shang Tingli shook his head: "Maybe, who knows?"

Fang Zhi really couldn't understand: "If that's true, then why did Miss Lan Xi change her marriage in the first place?"

This doesn't make sense.

Shang Tingli closed his eyes and said: "Among all the things in the world, only the word love cannot satisfy my hunger."

The two girls who didn't understand "love" blinked their eyes, but they both felt that what their Crown Prince's Consort said was right, and nodded in agreement.

Shang Tingli sighed: "Since love can't satisfy one's hunger, how can a little love be more important than one's life?"

This is exactly what Yu Lanxi compared.

Or maybe, Yu Lanxi herself didn't like Ke Xingchen that much, but Ke Xingchen's completely different attitudes towards her and Yu Lanxi might be a stimulation to Yu Lanxi.
