……

The carriage of Prince Ren's Palace stopped outside the gate of Marquis Yi Zhong's Palace, and Shang Tingli and Ke Xin were sitting in the carriage.

Shang Tingli herself didn't mind Butler He leading them in, but Ke Xin insisted on waiting for Yu Jing and the others to come out to greet them.

They had just got off the carriage and did not see Yu Jing and others coming out to greet them, so Ke Xin turned around and went back into the carriage, taking Shang Tingli with him, and said: they would get off the carriage when Yu Jing came out to greet them.

Ke Xin grumbled, "What's the point of us going in on our own? They want to apologize to you, so they have to look like they're apologizing. Besides, I'm here with my wife, what important person does he think he is? How dare he hide in the room and wait for us to go in on our own?"

Shang Tingli smiled and said nothing.

[What do you mean you bring me here? I bring you here, okay? ]

[But what you said is quite right. I am not going out for a walk, but I am here as a niece getting married, and as the consort of the prince, so they should come out to greet me.]

[Now that the situation is getting out of hand, they should go out and greet them in person. ]

Ke Xin was listening at the side and felt happy. This is how one should think.

This family will have to draw a line sooner or later, otherwise they will be implicated sooner or later. The two families are not closely related, if they are implicated because of the Yu family, wouldn’t they die unjustly?

Just as the two were thinking about their own things, Fang Zhi's voice came from outside: "Prince, Princess, the Marquis and his wife are coming out."

The couple looked at each other.

Ke Xin opened the carriage curtain, came out first, and jumped down from the carriage. Shang Tingli followed closely behind, stepping down slowly from the stool prepared at the side.

Yu Jing had suppressed his anger the moment he left the house. He put on the look of a kind uncle and led his men to greet them.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."

"You are too polite, Lord Yu." Ke Xin's lips curled up with a faint smile, and his eyes swept around coldly, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, son."

After Yu Jing stood up and expressed his thanks, he immediately looked at Shang Tingli who was standing next to Ke Xin and gave her a very subtle look.

Shang Tingli smiled slightly and looked straight ahead, not meeting Yu Jing's gaze.

[You want me to call someone? Don’t be too optimistic. ]

Ke Xin glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and a plan came to his mind. He smiled at Yu Jing and said, "I also heard some rumors a few days ago. I wonder if they can be taken seriously?"

Yu Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a smile, "The prince also said that it was a rumor, so I guess most of it cannot be believed."

Ke Xin smiled and didn't respond.

Yu Jing then asked tentatively, "I wonder what the prince heard?"

Ke Xin said: "Nothing, I just heard that Yu Hou seemed to have some unpleasantness with the Crown Prince's Consort, so he is preparing to--"

"Broken engagement?"

He uttered these two words lightly, but Yu Jing felt cold under his feet. Yu Jing forced a smile with a stiff face: "My Lord, are you kidding? How could Sister Ting and I break off our relationship? These must be rumors from outside."

His old face showed a bit of flattery: "This is impossible, don't really listen to the words of the villain."

There was a circle of people around.

They were all people who came to watch the fun. When the carriage from Prince Ren's Palace arrived, many people had already stopped. When Yu Jing and the others came out, more and more people were unwilling to miss the show.

They had heard that the rumors were about the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion and the Crown Princess of Prince Ren. It was new that all the protagonists of the play were gathered together today.

Facing the gossiping gazes of the crowd, Yu Jing gritted his teeth and said to Ke Xin: "Prince, why don't we go inside and talk first?"

"Also."

Yu Jing was delighted, but before he could even smile, Ke Xin continued, "But there is one thing I think it would be better for Yu Hou to explain now."

"What's the matter?" Yu Jing was stunned.

Ke Xin smiled but didn't speak immediately.

"Of course it's about my uncle saying he wants to apologize to me."

The woman's clear and pleasant voice sounded, Yu Jing's head stiffened and turned, and when he turned to look over, he saw his niece smiling particularly brightly, staring at him with sparkling eyes.

"apologize?"

"So, the rumors from a few days ago are all true?"

"It must be true. Otherwise, why would the Crown Prince's Consort be so desperate and work so hard to discredit her own uncle's family?"

"So now it seems that the Marquis will really apologize to the Crown Prince's Consort?"

The public not only has sharp eyes, but also has extremely sensitive ears. After a while, they have already started to comment on it.

Yu Jing's face darkened.

Shang Tingli didn't even give him a chance to respond, and said bluntly, "Uncle, I heard from cousin Lan Xi that your calling me an ungrateful person was a misunderstanding. You asked me to come back today. Are you here to apologize to me?"

"...Of course it's a misunderstanding, but these are family matters. Listen, sister, look..." Yu Jing forced a kind smile, "Isn't it better to talk about our family matters in the house?"

His eyes, as deep as an ancient well, concealed a hint of coercion upon closer inspection. He was using his eyes to put pressure on Shang Tingli.

[A family? Let’s not talk about that for now. Let’s just go inside and talk. Is there anything else to say about the apology?]

After weighing the pros and cons, Shang Tingli chose to look at Ke Xin: "Sir, look—"

She turned back to Ke Xin, winking at him frantically, hoping he would understand what she meant.

[Ke Xingchen, please refuse to enter the house! Don’t go into the house to talk! ]

[Ke Xingchen, I hope we can have a little bit of tacit understanding! ]

Ke Xin resisted the urge to laugh and sneered in his heart. Who gave her the courage to call him by his name?

Seeing that he seemed unmoved, Shang Tingli became a little anxious. He grabbed his hand, shook it with a pouty lip and a frown, and cursed in his heart.

[Ke Xingchen, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind? Speak up!]

[I remember you are not deaf, you can hear me scolding you quietly! No, you can hear me scolding you without me scolding you loudly!]

Once before, she had only said a few words to him in her heart, but he could see through her quickly and accurately, and even asked her if she cursed him in her heart. Of course, she couldn't admit it, even though she really cursed him.

Why didn't she understand what she meant now? She was about to collapse.

Just when Shang Tingli was getting extremely anxious, Pan Yaying spoke first under Yu Jing's instruction: "Why aren't you talking, Sister Ting? Does Sister Ting feel that we are no longer a family?"

She looked very sad.

Shang Tingli closed his eyes.

[Very good, before Ke Xingchen opened his noble mouth, he got dirty words from his unscrupulous aunt.]

She adjusted her expression and turned around with a decent smile on her face. Just as she was about to refute Pan Yaying's words, the young man behind her finally spoke up.

Ke Xin smiled and said, "Madam Hou, what you said is really boring."

Shang Tingli's eyes slightly opened, then brightened up. He silently shrank back to his side, tilted his head and looked up at him.

[Well done, my Lord. I really didn’t trust you wrongly! ]

Ke Xin: “…”

Oh, that's not what someone just said.

Pan Yaying didn't dare to look him in the eye, and lowered her eyebrows slightly and said, "What do you mean, my lord?"

She was very indignant, but she couldn't stand this gentleman.

She couldn't help but glance at her daughter beside her, closed her eyes and sighed silently. If the marriage had not been exchanged, wouldn't there be so many things happening now?

However, it would be useless to regret it now. The more I think about it, the more upset I will become.

Ke Xinyi didn't look at her, but faced Yu Jing, not acting like a junior, and said casually, "Marquis Yu, is what the Crown Princess said true?"

Yu Jing wiped his sweat, so anxious that he didn't know what to say.

He didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't deny it. He originally wanted to go into the house, so he laughed it off, anyway, it was definitely not like what was happening in front of him, to torture people in public.

He hadn't figured out what to say yet, but Shang Tingli had an explanation. She said, "If it's not true, then Cousin Lan Xi deliberately lied to me?"

She looked at Yu Lanxi and pretended to be surprised: "Cousin Lanxi, why are you doing this?"

Yu Lanxi couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and immediately said: "Why would I deliberately lie to you? What good would this do me? Dad, please say something, it's obviously..."

Pan Yaying held her back and scolded her in a low voice: "Shut up, don't say anything."

Is this something a person with a brain would do? Isn't this clearly an act of betraying one's own father?

Pan Yaying had a headache. No wonder the master didn't love his daughter as much as before recently. She deserved it.

Yu Jing was so angry that his face turned red and he almost passed out.

Why is his daughter becoming more and more stupid?

"It seems that what cousin Lan Xi said is true." Shang Tingli said with a smile: "Uncle, do you really want to apologize to a junior like me?" She looked around and saw more and more people watching. "Oh, everyone is watching. How can I do this?"

She said she was embarrassed, but her face showed great anticipation.

Yu Jing almost vomited blood. It really changed his perception of his niece. She was so shameless.

He also knew that he had to apologize to this little girl today no matter what, otherwise he would never achieve his goal.

Yu Jing took a deep breath, pretended to be relaxed, and smiled lovingly: "Listen, sister, it's like this..."

Shang Tingli said obediently: "Well, uncle, you talk, I'm listening."

Yu Jing: “…” He didn’t want to say anymore. Couldn’t she see that?

Ke Xin couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He felt quite happy when he saw the young lady entertaining others like this.

At least he wasn't the only victim.

"Prince, Princess, this is not a place to talk outside. Why don't we go inside first?"

Ji Zhang stood up and bowed to Shang Tingli and Ke Xin, saying, "I believe that my father-in-law is a man of his words, so there's no need to let outsiders laugh at him, right?"
