"Okay." Wang didn't say much and kept the two of them in the main courtyard for dinner.

After saying goodbye and leaving the main courtyard, Pei Jin sent Luo Qingqing back to Tanchun Courtyard.

"Prince, my lady won't dislike me for not understanding the ways of the world, right?" Luo Qingqing raised her head timidly and asked shyly.

"Miss Luo, that won't happen. Mother has always been kind and gentle. She's an easy person to get along with. Besides, you've done very well." Pei Jin comforted her gently.

"That's good. I was just afraid that I might do something wrong and embarrass you." Luo Qingqing lowered her head, but there was a gleam in her eyes and a hint of pride on her face.

Arriving at the gate of Tanchun Courtyard, Pei Jin stopped and was about to speak when suddenly the person next to him seemed to be tripped by a small stone and was about to fall.

"Be careful." Pei Jin quickly reached out to support her body.

In an instant, the woman's soft body suddenly fell into his arms.

He had seen a lot of tricks like this. Since he was young, all kinds of girls would try to fall into his arms by falling down, which made him very annoyed.

If another woman dared to do this, he would have pushed her away and walked away. But the woman in front of him was his savior, so he had to give her some face.

Pei Jin took a deep breath and steadied the person in his arms. But Luo Qingqing seemed unaware and continued to cling to his arms softly.

"It hurts so much..." A soft voice with a crying tone was heard, and Pei Jin couldn't help but frown slightly.

"You two, help the young lady in quickly. I'll go get the palace doctor."

The proper respect must be given, Pei Jin held Luo Qingqing's arm and helped her out of his arms unnoticeably.

Biyu and Shanhu deliberately stayed behind and pretended that they saw nothing, but when they heard him calling, they had to come forward and support Luo Qingqing on the left and right.

"Miss, Miss, how are you?" Coral asked in surprise.

"Miss, your feet? Oh, what should I do?" Biyu exclaimed loudly.

Pei Jin saw that the three of them were cooperating very well at this moment, as if they were treating him as a fool, and a sense of disgust arose in his heart for no reason.

Could it be that even the purest person would instantly turn into someone with ulterior motives once arriving in the capital?

No. Pei Jin knew that Luo Qingqing had always wanted to marry him. From the moment she rescued him, she had been hinting at him with kindness all the time, trying to force him to submit.

But Pei Jin was not someone who could be easily forced. Even Princess Qingyuan couldn't do that, let alone her? As long as she didn't say anything, he could resolve the situation calmly.

He recalled the night he left Northern Frontier, when Luo Qingqing stood at the door of his room and begged in a low voice: "My Lord, although you have given Qingqing so much silver and a shop, which is enough for Qingqing to live a good life, Qingqing is still afraid. I am an orphan, and I am afraid..."

"Miss Luo, don't worry. When I go back, I will find you a man with a good family background in Northern Xinjiang. From now on, you don't have to worry about being alone. If you are willing, I can also ask my mother to adopt you as her adopted daughter." Pei Jin said lightly while standing at the door. He felt relieved in his heart. It was better to get things off his chest.

"But..." Luo Qingqing began to cry softly, "My Lord, you promised Qingqing that you would take care of Qingqing for the rest of her life."

"Ms. Luo, I have promised you that I will help you achieve wealth and glory in the future." Pei Jin said, his voice a little cold, "I will agree to anything that I, Pei Jin, can do."

Since he contacted his secret guards, he has been giving her a lot of silver. He also bought a shop for her in the most prosperous city in the northern border, which is enough for her to live a comfortable and wealthy life.

The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!

"Prince, Qingqing has no other wish. I have a distant cousin in the capital, and I want to go to him for help." Luo Qingqing said gritting her teeth, the silk handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces.

This guy is so heartless. I'm his savior and I'm pretty, so why does he look down on me?

"Okay, then you get ready, we'll set off the day after tomorrow." Pei Jin was silent for a moment, but finally agreed. No matter what, she and Deputy General Luo were his lifesavers after all, and he, Pei Jin, could not be ungrateful.

"Master, it hurts!" Luo Qingqing's cry of pain interrupted his memories.

His eyes suddenly turned cold again.

Seeing him standing there without saying anything, Luo Qingqing gasped, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at Pei Jin aggrievedly and whispered, "My Lord, my feet hurt so much, I can't walk."

"What happened?" Mother Li poked her head out and saw the prince standing at the door. She also heard Miss Luo crying out in pain, so she asked hurriedly.

"Mother Li, please find someone to carry Miss Luo into the room. I'll go find the court doctor first." Seeing Mother Li, Pei Jin seemed relieved.

Mother Li understood and immediately came out, leaned over and whispered, "Miss Luo, come up quickly, be careful of your feet, I will carry you into the house first."

Luo Qingqing reached out and grabbed the corner of Pei Jin's robe, tears already sliding down her cheeks.

"Miss Luo, don't be afraid. I'll go find the court doctor right away. You must have twisted your foot accidentally. Don't be afraid." Pei Jin reached out and pulled back the corner of his robe, and spoke patiently and gently.

After his coaxing, she finally let go, but tears still flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Mother Li, please carry the young lady in quickly. It's windy here." He whispered, turned around and walked out.

In a corner of the outer courtyard of the Marquis's mansion, the door of the wing room was wide open. When the little medicine boy saw the prince coming in, he hurriedly said, "My lord, the master has gone to the backyard. It seems that the young master is not feeling well..."

"What young master?" Pei Jin blurted out, then suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Did you go to Fangfei Courtyard?"

The little medicine boy shook his head helplessly and said, "My Lord, the master didn't say which garden we were going to. It was Mother Zhou who sent someone to invite us."

"Go outside and buy some plasters for treating bruises and have someone send them to Tanchunyuan." Pei Jin glanced at Mo Yan who was following behind him, and left without looking back.

Entering the backyard, Pei Jin felt depressed. He suddenly thought of the little kid with bright eyes during the day. What disease did he have? His heart suddenly softened, and he walked towards Fangfei Courtyard involuntarily.

When the little maid Xiao Que'er, who was guarding the garden gate, saw him coming, she quickly opened the gate and was about to report it, but was stopped by him.

She was a little surprised. Could it be that the prince came to see the young master? Oh, that's great. Is there hope for Sister Chanyi?

The lights in the main room were bright.

Chan Yi looked up and saw the person who had just driven her out of Zhuxiang Garden during the day standing at the door with an unclear expression. Her heart sank.

Oh no, is he here to blame me for not taking good care of the child and take An'er away?

"Where is the child?" Pei Jin asked in a cold voice with a frown on his face when he saw the woman looking at him as if she had seen a ghost.
