After leaving the Marquis Yi Zhong's Mansion and getting on the carriage, Shang Tingli breathed a sigh of relief.

She expressed her true feelings, but she didn't expect that her uncle still didn't give up. He kept trying to mend their relationship with her, saying that as long as she was willing to reconcile, he would treat her well in the future.

Shang Tingli couldn't help but sneer when he recalled it. The child really knows how to drink milk when he grows up.

She decisively proposed to break off the engagement, but Yu Jing refused to agree and gritted his teeth. In the end, she had no choice but to keep her distance from them and tell them not to come to her house to look for her in the future. She would definitely ignore them.

【It’s so funny. 】

[Over the years, you have never felt sorry for me, but now, because of the Fourth Prince's order, you want me to let go of my grudge. Do I look as stupid as Yu Lanxi? ]

Ke Xin's expression changed.

He listened to her thoughts and had a momentary urge to express his guess, but he finally held back.

Ke Xin closed his eyes gloomily.

The atmosphere was surprisingly quiet along the way.

Shang Tingli couldn't help but glance at him and found that he was resting with his eyes closed, looking slightly absent-minded.

[It seems that Ke Xingchen's mood is not right. 】

Ke Xin was just dozing off, and when he heard the inner voice, he pricked up his ears silently.

[It seems like he started to act strange when he said he was leaving? This is so strange. Logically, he should have persuaded my uncle and I to reconcile. Not only did he not do that, but he even sided with me? ]

[Ke Xingchen is a member of the Fourth Prince's party, and so is my uncle. But why does it feel like Ke Xingchen has no intention of making friends with my uncle? ]

She had thought hard about this before, but she couldn't figure out his purpose at the time, and she couldn't see through his thoughts now.

Shang Tingli was totally puzzled.

No matter how hard she tried to think, she certainly wouldn't know that after hearing her voice, he, the "Fourth Prince Party", had become the "Prince Party".

While Shang Tingli was struggling, Ke Xin was also thinking about something.

He thought it was time to find something for some people to do.

……

After Shang Tingli and Ke Xin left, Yu Jing sent Yu Rongbao and Fang Qian and their spouses away. Ji Zhang also took the opportunity to take his leave and go to Yu Lanxi's place, leaving only the couple in the main hall.

"Master, I have already said it, right? She is an ungrateful person. The more respect you give her, the more she will take advantage of you."

Pan Yaying pinched her nose and fanned the flames.

The handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces.

In public, her daughter was slapped eighteen times in the face, and her pretty face was turned into a pig's head. That was a disgrace to the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion.

How can she not hate?

Yu Jing was already feeling annoyed, and when he heard her voice, he became even more annoyed, and cursed, "Shut up."

Pan Yaying pouted and said aggrievedly: "Master..."

Over the years, she had to worry about her children's affairs and try to find a way to restrain her niece's wings. It was really exhausting. Her face had already left some traces of time, and even rouge could not cover up the fatigue.

It's a bit eye-catching to act like a little woman at this moment.

Yu Jing simply couldn't bear to watch, turned his head away, and said: "Why are you acting like this? It's really an eyesore."

The insults were not excessive.

Pan Yaying's eyes immediately turned red: "Okay, okay, Master now thinks I am old and ugly. In that case, you can ask Aunt Li to serve you, and I won't pollute your eyes."

She wiped her tears but did not get up and leave.

Yu Jing knew that she was just saying this out of anger, but he had no intention of trying to comfort her. Instead, he said, "What do you know as a woman? Don't I know what kind of person that damn girl is? How could I want to please that ungrateful person like her?"

He is having a severe headache.

You said he messed up this matter, and I don't know how the Fourth Prince will blame him. It's really worrying.

Pan Yaying sobbed and asked, "Master, what does this mean?"

Yu Jing waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about these things. Go back and have a rest, or go see Lan Jie'er. She must be feeling bad after being slapped today."

Pan Yaying wiped her eyes and smiled with relief: "If Sister Lan knew that the master still loved her, she would definitely be very happy."

Yu Jing frowned: "You should talk to her more. The head on your neck is not for looks. Use your brain more and don't always cause trouble. Today, she dared to lose the face of Prince Ren's Mansion in public. Does she think her life is too long?"

"If things go wrong, this will implicate the whole family."

"……Yes."

Pan Yaying's smile froze on her face. She responded with difficulty, then bowed and left.

Before she even stepped out of the main hall, she heard Yu Jing's voice behind her: "Go, call Aunt Li to come to my study and grind ink for me."

Pan Yaying gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to turn back and question, and left angrily.

She was so angry that before she had gone far, he could not wait to ask someone to call Aunt Li to the study.

This concubine Li is the beautiful concubine that Yu Jing took in last year. Not only is she very pretty, but most importantly, she is young, only 29 years old.

In the past, Yu Jing treated this bitch like the apple of her eye, and she could do nothing even if she hated her in her heart.

Fortunately, although Aunt Li is young and beautiful, she is not perfect. Things like having children are something Aunt Li will never have the chance to do in this life.

It was precisely because of this that Pan Yaying gave up the idea of ​​killing this bitch.

……

"hiss--"

"It hurts..."

"Be gentle! What do you want to do by hitting me so hard? Do you want me to be disfigured?"

Ji Zhang heard the movement in the house and paused. He was just thinking about whether to go in now when he heard the maid guarding the door greet him and say, "Greetings, Master."

He waved his hand, sighed, and finally walked in.

When Yu Lanxi saw him, her already red and swollen face twisted for a moment. It was unknown what she was thinking about, and she did not look at him in a good mood.

"What are you here for?"

"Are you laughing at me?"

She asked two sharp questions in succession, which made Ji Zhang feel bitter.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Xi'er misunderstood me, how could I laugh at you? I feel sorry for you."

Yu Lanxi remained silent with a cold look.

Ji Zhang hesitated to speak, took two steps forward and said to Qiu Ling: "Give it to me, I'll apply the medicine for Xi'er."

"Yes."

Qiu Ling responded softly, handed the medicinal wine in her hand to Ji Zhang, and stepped aside.

"Xi'er, if it hurts, you must tell me."

Ji Zhang carefully rubbed the medicinal wine on Yu Lanxi with very gentle movements, as if he was cherishing a rare treasure.

Although Yu Lanxi didn't say anything, she was very satisfied with his tact and finally gave him a smile on her face.

But her face was so unrecognizable that even the slightest hint of a smile could not be seen on her face.

After giving her the medicinal wine and applying the beauty cream, Ji Zhang sat down in front of her and said, "I know Xi'er is doing this for my own good, but Xi'er was a little impulsive today."

Yu Lanxi frowned, her eyes unhappy: "Are you preaching?"

When will it be his turn to teach her a lesson for what she has done?

Could it be that she had been so nice to him recently that he was getting ahead of herself? Did he know that everything he had was because of her?

In fact, her feelings towards him were somewhat complicated. Every time he was particularly nice and tolerant to her, she would think of the things in her previous life, and then she couldn't help but wonder, was he also so humble to Shang Tingli in his previous life?

Whenever she thought of this, she always wanted to find something for him to do, such as serving him tea or water. Only in this way could she be sure that she was the one who married him in this life, and she would also be the first-rank imperial lady in the future.

Ji Zhang quickly explained to her: "Xi'er, how dare I teach you a lesson? You know me well. It's just that you stood up for me and felt good for a while, but the consequence is that you are suffering like this now. I feel really bad in my heart."

Only then did Yu Lanxi hum with satisfaction.

She turned her eyes away and didn't look at Ji Zhang.

To be honest, she dared to scold Ke Xin and Shang Tingli at that time, not because she was upset and wanted to stand up for Ji Zhang. She was very clear about her thoughts at that time, she hated the person who protected Shang Tingli behind her.

It was obvious that they would have no intersection in this life, and that person would repeat the tragedy of the previous life, while she would get better and better and live a happy life in the future, but she just couldn't bear to see that person and Shang Tingli being in love and loyalty, and she couldn't control herself and wanted to go crazy.

"Since you feel uncomfortable, you must work hard to earn me an imperial decree in the future. It would be best if you could earn a first-class imperial decree!"

Yu Lanxi held her head high and said proudly.

Ji Zhang promised earnestly: "Okay, I will definitely work hard to earn Xi'er a royal decree and let Xi'er enjoy happiness with me as soon as possible."

Yu Lanxi felt so sweet hearing these words, she accepted them reluctantly, put her arms around his neck and leaned into his arms.

The next moment, she screamed.

It turned out that she had accidentally bumped her face. Her entire face looked like there was no intact spot, it was all red and swollen, and it hurt a lot if she accidentally bumped it.

Ji Zhang asked nervously, "Are you okay?"

Yu Lanxi was in so much pain that tears came out and she kept shouting in pain.

"It hurts me to death."

Ji Zhang held her face carefully, and blew air on her face as if he was coaxing a child.

Yu Lanxi reached out and punched him on the chest, and said with a sweet smile: "It doesn't hurt if I snort? I'm not a child."

Ji Zhang said: "Although Xi'er is not a child, she is also a delicate girl."

"..." Yu Lanxi almost couldn't help but throw herself into his arms again, but was stopped by him.

Ji Zhang said: "Xi'er, you need to take care of yourself and not be reckless. What if you get hit again? I'm so heartbroken."

Yu Lanxi stretched out her hand and drew circles on his chest, muttering, "It's all Shang Tingli's fault. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in this state."

In her heart, she blamed Shang Tingli for this and wished she could pay him back immediately.

Ji Zhang paused for a moment, then agreed, "Yes, it's all her fault. It's because of her that Xier has suffered."

Yu Lanxi suddenly raised her head and stared at him.

He asked: "What's wrong?"

Yu Lanxi said: "My husband, you must remember that all the pain I am suffering now is because of my good cousin."

Ji Zhang: “I remember it.”

……

There were many people watching the show in front of the gate of Marquis Yi Zhong's mansion today. Although they only watched the first half, many of them spread the news.

Naturally, some people with ulterior motives analyzed the result - the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess looked unhappy when they left, and Prince Ren's Crown Princess and the Yi Zhonghou Mansion must have indeed had a falling out.

Shang Tingli let them speculate, as that was the fact and she didn't want to have anything to do with the Marquis Yi Zhong's Mansion.

As for the Marquis Yi Zhong’s Mansion, there is no place to appeal for justice.

Yu Jing was also called by Ke Ming, and was questioned why he failed to get things done. He felt very bitter. His niece has become too independent now and doesn't listen to him. With the Prince of Ren by her side, can he force his niece to reconcile with him?

Fortunately, the Fourth Prince only asked a question and did not get angry with him.

Yu Jing secretly sighed that His Highness was indeed a handsome and gentle man.

Although the beating of Yu Lanxi happened in the residence of Marquis Yi Zhong, some people still knew the inside story.

In the Duke Zhong's mansion, Pan Qinghuan laughed happily in her boudoir.

She asked Xiang'er: "Is this really the case?"

Xiang Er replied, "Really, my cousin was slapped by Prince Ren. It is said that her face was swollen like a pig's head."

Pan Qinghuan chuckled: "What a pity, I can't witness it with my own eyes."

She believed Yu Lanxi's lies last time, but this time when she heard that Yu Lanxi was beaten, she felt really happy.

Xiang'er rolled her eyes and suggested, "Miss, you and Miss are cousins ​​after all. It's normal for you to go to the Yi Zhong Marquis's mansion to play with her, right?"

Because the wound on Yu Lanxi's face had not yet healed, she took Ji Zhang to live in the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion. Although it was against etiquette, the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion was happy with it, and outsiders could not interfere.

Pan Qinghuan smiled and gave her a thumbs up, nodding and saying, "Xiang'er is right. I am Lanxi's cousin, so it is only natural for me to go out and play with her."

No wonder Xiang'er is so popular with her.

There are not many maids who are so capable and understand their masters.

The next morning, Pan Qinghuan took Xiang'er to the Marquis Yi Zhong's Mansion. Yu Lanxi didn't want to see her, but she didn't expect Fang Qian to let someone in.

The moment the cousins ​​met, Yu Lanxi's face turned green, but Pan Qinghuan couldn't help laughing.

For Yu Lanxi, this scene was tantamount to public execution. She was originally slapped in front of the annoying Shang Tingli, and now the annoying Pan Qinghuan saw her ugly face. This was no different from stepping on her face.

For a moment, Yu Lanxi also hated Fang Qian.

……

In the past few days, the drama between Prince Ren's wife and the uncle-nephew relationship of Marquis Yi Zhong has been a feast for the eyes of the people of the capital.

However, no one said that the Crown Princess of Prince Ren was an ungrateful person anymore. Everyone tacitly believed that the Yi Zhong Marquis's Mansion was being unkind in this matter.

As time passed, the weather became colder and colder, and Shangjing City welcomed the first snow of the year.

Snowflakes fell on the eaves, leaving layers of light white, and the bluestone road surface was also dyed a thin layer of pure white.

"Wow, it's snowing."

Shang Tingli walked out of the house.

Gan Tang turned around and ran towards her, bowed, and said with a smile: "Princess, the first snow fell really early this year."

Shang Tingli smiled and nodded.

Someone was walking out of the wind and snow, holding a paper umbrella.

Gan Tang asked, "Why is Butler Xiao here?"
