The Iceberg Prince was teased by me

Ji Yunrou also slowly calmed down after hearing this, "Yeah, if Ji Yunchu really had a brain, he wouldn't say in public that he likes Prince Chen, he's really shameless."

Seeing that she was no longer as panicked as when she just came back, Lin calmed down. However, in order to prevent her daughter from getting startled again, she held Ji Yunrou's hand and said solemnly, "Rou'er, no matter how strange Ji Yunchu's behavior is in the future, you must not panic like you did today. This will easily arouse her suspicion. Remember?"

Ji Yunrou nodded, "My daughter will remember it."

On the other side, Ji Yunchu was riding back in a carriage, sighing in boredom: "Hey! Muah, let me make it clear in advance, it's not that I don't want to be alone with him, it's that he has his own things and I can't interfere, so even if I can't complete the task today, you can't punish me!"

"Host, please don't make excuses for your failure. If you really wanted to, you wouldn't have returned home so anxiously. Instead, you would have found a way to enter the palace to share the hardships with him!" Momoda said seriously.

"I'm trying to get into the palace? Am I a princess? Have I been summoned? Or is the palace my home and I can come and go as I please?"

Ji Yunchu's consciousness was outputting, and he suddenly remembered something, and said: "Oh, by the way, although the palace is not my home, I do have a way to enter the palace at will, but I have to do the mission in stealth, do you allow it?"

Momoda fell silent. It had come to its senses and would never reason with its host again, because if it just reasoned with one question, she would come up with many more to confuse it.

When Ji Yunchu saw that it was silent, he also felt uncomfortable facing the impending punishment, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

As soon as the carriage stopped, she immediately stood up to pay the bill. After getting off the carriage, she went back to Chu Yueyuan's dormitory and lay down dejectedly.

Two hours later, there was a knock on Ji Yunchu's door. "Chu'er, Second Mother wants to see you. Are you awake?"

She didn't want to get up, but when she heard Lin talking about Yuzhu's matter, she immediately got up and opened the door.

Ji Yunchu half closed his eyes, looking like he was still asleep, and asked, "Second Mother, what happened to Yuzhu?"

Seeing her so calm, Lin was a little confused about her daughter's discovery, but for peace of mind, she still brewed up a sad mood: "Chu'er, didn't Tian Yuzhu say that something happened at home and asked for leave? Today, she received a letter from her family saying that she left a confession and hanged herself."

Ji Yunchu opened his eyes wide in surprise: "What? What did you say happened to her?"

Seeing that the shock on her face did not seem fake, Lin became even more certain that Ji Yunrou was wrong.

"She's dead. Her body and confession are now in the Dali Temple. Chu'er, Er Niang knows that you have had a good relationship with her since childhood and you always take her with you wherever you go. But today, for the sake of our Ji Mansion's reputation, you must not go to the Dali Temple to ask for her, understand?"

Lin looked earnest in her words. Although Ji Yunchu was surprised by Yuzhu's death, she always felt that there was something fishy about Lin's kind advice.

So he nodded in agreement, "Yes, I know, but Second Mother, Yuzhu is so kind and sensible, I don't believe she would do anything bad. Do you know what is written in the confession?"

"I don't know about this either, but the Dali Temple is responsible for this. I believe that they will publish a notice stating the whole story soon. Chu'er, don't think too much. Chang Feng and Chang Zhi will come back from the academy today. Er Niang has to clean up the room for them. I'm leaving first!"

After Ji Yunchu saw the man leave, the innocence on her face faded away and her expression became serious. She closed the door and pondered the purpose of Lin coming alone to tell her the news.

She kept thinking like this until nightfall, and only stopped when Yingchun ran back to the courtyard and invited her to the dining hall for dinner.

"Miss, the eldest and second young masters are back. The master and the mistress are already sitting in the dining hall. You should go over and have your meal."

Ji Yunchu walked to the dining hall according to her memory. As soon as she stepped into the hall, she heard a young man complaining about herself, "Dad, I'm so hungry. I want to eat. Can I not wait for my elder sister?"

"No, Changzhi, when eating, you should wait until everyone is gathered before you start eating. This is basic etiquette. Didn't your master teach you?" Minister Ji said seriously.

"Of course the master taught me, but..." Ji Changzhi's originally tough voice suddenly disappeared after seeing Ji Shangshu's cold eyes. He looked at Lin with an unhappy face, hoping that his mother could speak for him.

Lin reached out her hand and patted him gently, signaling him to be patient.

"Big sister, come and sit down and have some soup." A man in a white and black long gown with ink-splashed mountain paintings smiled and placed a bowl of soup in front of her seat.

After dinner, Ji Yunchu witnessed Ji Changfeng's gentleness and elegance, Ji Changzhi's dandyism, and even saw the pride in Ji Yunrou's eyes.

As soon as Ji Yunchu had his fill, he left the dining hall on the pretext of delivering food to his younger brother.

"Host, your boyfriend hasn't eaten for two meals. Why don't you go and give him a portion after you deliver the meal?" Momoda saw that Ji Yunchu hadn't mentioned the mission for several hours, so it suggested to her in a friendly way.

"Where is he?" Ji Yunchu asked as he walked.

"In the palace!" Momoda answered with a smile.

"No, there are so many imperial chefs in the palace, he won't starve." Ji Yunchu didn't want to embarrass himself in the palace.
