If not abolished

"It was fine when we came out, why did it suddenly start raining?" Lingzhi looked at the heavy rain and was worried about what to do. The carriage was parked outside and couldn't get out, and there was no rain gear in the carriage.

"Wait a minute, the rain comes in fits and starts, luckily it will get lighter soon."

"Girl, you are not in a hurry at all."

"It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married. What can I do? Waiting for the rain to stop is another kind of fun." Hu Shanxiang simply found a long corridor to sit down and wait for the rain to stop.

"I'd better go see if there's anywhere I can borrow an umbrella." Lingzhi was still planning to think of a solution.

"Go ahead, I'll stay here alone for a while."

"Sir, isn't that Miss Hu over there? Didn't she bring an umbrella? Should we..." Before Wu Cheng could finish his words, he turned around and saw Zhu Zhanji walking over with an umbrella.

"Miss, our master asked me to bring you an umbrella." A man dressed as a servant walked up to Hu Shanxiang and handed her an umbrella.

Hu Shanxiang looked at the person who suddenly appeared in surprise, "Well, no need, my maid has already gone to get it. Thank you, young master, for me." Hu Shanxiang waved her hand to refuse.

"Third Miss, my master said he must give you the umbrella."

"Does your son know me?" Hu Shanxiang was even more confused.

"My son is Du Ruhui, the eldest son of Du Tongpan's family."

"It turns out to be Mr. Du. I have heard of your great name for a long time."

"What about the third lady's umbrella?"

"It's better not to. The rain may stop soon." Hu Shanxiang thought, how come he is so small that I didn't even see him when I went out.

"Miss San, you'd better accept it. The rain may not stop for a while." At this time, a handsome man came out.

"Young Master." It turned out to be the eldest son of the Du family.

"Miss, all three quilts in the temple have been borrowed. How are we going to get back?" Lingzhi said.

Hu Shanxiang held her forehead with her hand. She thought, if she didn't come back earlier or later, she would be in a dilemma if she came back now. She had to take the umbrella.

Sure enough, Du Ruhui said, "Look, this umbrella is prepared for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Du. Lingzhi is leaving." Hu Shanxiang quickly escaped from this embarrassing situation, pulled Lingzhi and prepared to leave.

"Third Miss, umbrella." Du Ruhui handed her the umbrella in his hand. It was difficult for Hu Shanxiang to take it, but Lingzhi reacted immediately and took it.

"I'll have someone deliver it to your house tomorrow."

Zhu Zhanji on the other side hadn't even come over when he saw such a big show. The umbrella in his hand was almost broken by him. Wu Cheng hurried over and said, "Sir, this umbrella is a gift..."

"What are you giving it as a gift? Can't you see they already have it? Why are you using it to play White Snake?" Zhu Zhanji said and turned around and left.

Zhu Zhanji finally experienced what Zhu Zhanqi had felt before.

The next day, Hu Shanxiang originally wanted to ask someone to send the umbrella back, but the old lady heard about it and asked her to go there by herself and buy some cakes from the shop at the South Gate.

"Grandma, you want to eat the pastries from Nanmen, right? Okay, your granddaughter will go there." Hu Shanxiang teased the old lady, pretending not to know what she meant.

"Miss, shall we go to the Du Mansion first?" Lingzhi asked after getting on the carriage.

"Let's go return the things first." said Hu Shanxiang.

Two sticks of incense later, the Hu family's carriage stopped in front of the Du Mansion.

"Sir, why are we lying here and watching?" Wu Cheng and Zhu Zhanji were lying on the wall next to the Du Mansion when Hu Shanxiang got off the carriage.

"Didn't she say yesterday that she would ask the servants to return it? Why did she come in person?" Zhu Zhanji looked next door.

"Sir, did you come here specially to see the Third Young Lady to return something?" Wu Cheng couldn't bear to look at the current state of his own prince.

"It's just a thing. Why go in? Why don't you just give it to the person at the door? It's just an umbrella. Really." Zhu Zhanji complained as he watched.

Wu Cheng shook his head.

Zhu Zhanji felt uncomfortable when he saw Hu Shanxiang finally coming out. He got down the ladder and pushed Wu Cheng out.

Before Wu Chengren could react, he was already on the road to the door. Hu Shanxiang was about to get on the carriage when she suddenly saw a figure. She looked closely and asked, "Eunuch Wu, why are you here?"

When Hu Shanxiang saw Wu Cheng, she thought she was dazzled. She rubbed her eyes and looked again, and the person was still in front of her.

"Third Miss, long time no see." Wu Cheng greeted Hu Shanxiang with a smile.

"Are you alone?" Although Hu Shanxiang herself did not believe this question, Wu Cheng was Zhu Zhanji's personal servant, and he was actually in Jining, which meant that Zhu Zhanji was 100% here as well.

Why did Zhu Zhanji come to Jining? Why did he come here instead of staying in the capital? He seems like a ghost that's still haunting us.

"Well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inside." Wu Cheng naturally couldn't hide it.

"Is everything okay? If nothing else, I'll leave first." Hu Shanxiang asked herself and answered herself before quickly getting on the carriage and telling someone to leave immediately.

Wu Cheng watched the carriage go away in a cloud of dust, then turned back to look at Zhu Zhanji, "Young Master..."

"Are you so afraid of me that you're running so fast?" Zhu Zhanji said sadly as he watched the carriage going away.

"Sir, it must have been too sudden. The third lady didn't react for a while." Wu Cheng comforted.

"So, tell me, will she be happy if I come here?"

"I can't guess this one."

"Then tell me, who is better, me or this Mr. Du?" Zhu Zhanji suddenly changed the subject.

"How can Mr. Du compare with you? He is neither as mighty nor as handsome as you. You are extremely talented and well-read, while Mr. Du is just a juren. He is really inferior to you in every way." Wu Cheng said all the words he could think of.

Zhu Zhanji knew that he was flattering her. "But she wants to marry someone like Mr. Du, who has a simple family background and decent character. I heard that the Du family has a good tradition and men in the family are not allowed to take concubines. He is her ideal candidate in every way. I am not comparable to him at all."

"Sir, you can't just give up like this. Aren't we here to pursue the third girl?" Wu Cheng encouraged him.

"But I didn't expect there was someone else, and she looks very good. It's not a bad thing if she can live a happy life without me. I was sorry for her in my last life, and I was not pure to her in this life from the beginning. I approached her for my own benefit, which was too selfish." Zhu Zhanji saw that since he woke up, he recalled the things that happened after his death in the dream. He thought a lot. This was all retribution. He sowed the fruit and his descendants had to bear the consequences.

After waking up, he fell seriously ill. After dealing with those things, he told Zhu Di that he came to Jining to recuperate. Zhu Di disagreed at first, but later he invited Yao Guangxiao to be a lobbyist before Zhu Di agreed.
