When the old princess arrived at Qingfeng Courtyard, Prince Pingyang and his wife were already there.

From time to time, the roar of Prince Pingyang could be heard in the room, mixed with Wen's gentle soothing voice and concern for Fu Yunjing.

"What are you yelling about? I can hear your voice from far away. Can't you let me have a rest?" The old princess walked into the room aggressively and glared at Fu Zheng with a sullen face.

"This brat has fallen to this level for a woman. He's not like a man at all. I have to teach him a lesson." Fu Zheng replied righteously.

The old princess choked, then said, "When can we not educate him? Why must we do it now?"

As she spoke, she trotted a few steps to Fu Yunjing, looked at her grandson's red and swollen eyes, and was obviously very angry after crying. However, she asked distressedly, "You haven't eaten for so many days. Are you hungry? As soon as you returned home, your grandmother asked the kitchen to cook porridge. Do you want to eat something?"

Fu Yunjing subconsciously looked towards Gu Zhiyin and thought of what she had said to him.

Starving himself to death would just fulfill the Third Prince's wish and save him from having to take action.

"Okay." Fu Yunjing nodded to the old princess.

When the old princess heard this, she burst into tears of joy and turned back to tell Mother Qin, "Go quickly."

"Yes, old princess." Mother Qin responded happily and turned away.

Fu Yunjing took the old princess's hand and said, "Grandma, it's too late, you should go back to sleep."

The old princess hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandma, please wait until you finish eating before leaving."

Being willing to eat means you have thought it through, which is a good thing.

"Don't worry, grandma. I'm fine." Fu Yunjing said, "You can go back first."

"Okay, then grandma will come to see you tomorrow." Seeing that Fu Yunjing's face was ugly but calm, the old princess no longer insisted. She just turned her head and looked at Fu Zheng and said, "Look after Yunjing and wait until he finishes his porridge before leaving."

What could Fu Zheng say? He had a mother and son, so he could only indulge them: "I know, Mom."

The old princess stood up and pulled Gu Zhiyin away: "You must be exhausted after guarding here for so long. Go back and rest quickly."

She saw her grandson secretly looking at his granddaughter-in-law just now. It is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed.

It must be Yinyin’s credit that Yun Jing was able to calm down so quickly.

The old princess imagined it happily.

Gu Zhiyin followed the old princess's lead.

She didn't sleep well just now, so she really needed to go back and catch up on some sleep.

The next day, Gu Zhiyin ordered Mother Hu to deliver the jade pendant and the letter to the Third Prince's Mansion.

Mother Hu found a beggar near the Third Prince and asked him to bring the things to her door, while she hid in the dark and watched secretly.

As soon as Chu Chengnan came out of the mansion, he was blocked by a beggar. The guards immediately stepped forward to drive him away. The beggar held up the brocade box and shouted, "Someone asked me to give this to you." Chu Chengnan immediately stopped the guards.

He took the brocade box from the beggar with a look of disgust.

When the beggar saw the things being delivered, he ran away immediately.

The people living on this street are either rich or noble, and he can't afford to offend them.

Chu Chengnan was concentrating on the things in the brocade box and didn't care where the beggar was going.

The beggar found Mother Hu hiding in the corner and stretched out his hand: "Here, the things have been delivered, give me the money."

Mother Hu smiled and put a purse in his hand: "Take it."

The beggar took the purse, opened it and took a look. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "Madam, if you have such good things next time, remember to look for me."

Having said that, he waved his hand and left.

Mother Hu's mouth twitched slightly, and she returned to the palace to report.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, the azure windows were bright and clean, and sunlight slanted in through the carved window lattices, casting a faint golden glow on the ground.

Fu Yunjing was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, when he suddenly heard a voice from outside paying respects.

His eyes moved slightly and he continued to lie there.

Soft footsteps were heard, and Gu Zhiyin sat down at the table and poured herself a cup of tea.

She held the teacup in her hand and sipped her tea in small sips while looking at the dead Fu Yunjing in front of her.

The room was awkwardly quiet. Fu Yunjing couldn't hold it in any longer. He turned his head and looked at Gu Zhiyin and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I'm sorry to bother you since you're thinking about life so seriously," Gu Zhiyin said with a smile.

Fu Yunjing: “…”

I suspect you are being sarcastic, but I have no proof.

"I sent the jade pendant and letter that Guan Shaowei gave to Lin Jianyue to the Third Prince. What do you think the Third Prince would think if he knew that Lin Jianyue and Guan Shaowei were still secretly communicating?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yunjing sat up and asked, "When was it delivered?"

"This morning, Mother Hu saw with her own eyes the beggar handing the things to the Third Prince."

"How did he react?" Fu Yunjing asked.

Gu Zhiyin raised her eyebrows: "How would I know? Mother Hu came back after delivering the things. If the prince wants to know, he can go and find out the news himself. Isn't Guan Shaowei in the same academy as the prince?"

When the third prince saw what was in the brocade box, he could guess who sent it.

There is no one else except the people from Pingyang Palace.

Could it be that Guan Shaowei would fall into the trap? Moreover, he kept saying that he and Lin Jianyue were innocent.

The Third Prince had no evidence, and had not taken any action because the prince was his uncle's biological son. But when the jade pendant and the letter were placed in front of him, and he thought about the fact that he was caught having an affair that day and it was most likely Guan Shaowei who deliberately brought in the person, he would think that Guan Shaowei was pretending to obey him but actually disobeying him.

On the surface, she was working for him, but in fact, she was deceiving him so that she could have an affair with Lin Jianyue.

Can this be tolerated?

Fu Yunjing glanced at Gu Zhiyin and said, "You are trying to trick me into going to class."

Gu Zhiyin: “…”

Speaking of coaxing...Isn't it a bit too much to think about it?

"Will the prince go?"

Fu Yunjing stared at him and thought for a moment, then said with a look of reluctance: "Since you have put so much thought into it, let's go tomorrow."

Gu Zhiyin looked at Fu Yunjing who was asking for a beating and clenched his fists.

The next day, Fu Yunjing took Wen Feng to the academy. When the old princess found out, she was so happy that she drank an extra bowl of porridge, and then asked Mother Qin to give her pair of jade bracelets as a dowry to Gu Zhiyin.

My granddaughter-in-law is great. She is really capable.

The old princess’ dowry was naturally made up of fine things, but it is difficult to find such fine jade nowadays.

How could Gu Zhiyin dare to accept it?

Mother Qin smiled and said, "If the Princess of the County doesn't accept me, I won't be able to explain to the old Princess when I go back."

Having said that, without waiting for Gu Zhiyin to refuse, he bowed and left.

Mother Yang took a look at the jade bracelet on the dressing table and said happily, "This jade bracelet is the best thing in the old princess's storehouse. It seems that the old princess really likes you, Princess of the County."

Fu Yunjing had just gotten off the car in front of the academy when he heard someone calling him from afar.

"Yun Jing, Yun Jing."

Fu Yunjing turned his head and looked at the person who came with an expressionless face.
