"Madam, do you already know this?" Xiao Changfeng stopped and asked in surprise.

"My husband, at the previous banquet, Mrs. Li Taifu was already crying and begging for His Majesty's forgiveness. I was wondering why they were so impatient and didn't even consider what day it was today." Mrs. Lin said slowly.

"Since Qianqian came back, you have become more and more perceptive, and I am almost unable to catch up with you." Xiao Changfeng patted Mrs. Lin's back with his fist and smiled. His gentle and virtuous wife has become more and more playful and lovely, just like when he first met her. He really has found a treasure.

"Husband, you are making fun of me." Mrs. Lin turned around and glared at him with a little coquettishness.

"That's impossible. I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. I admire my wife from the bottom of my heart." Xiao Changfeng explained with a smile, his eyes full of love and doting.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. Just say whatever you want to say and don't keep us in suspense." Mrs. Lin patted Xiao Changfeng's hand, urging him to continue.

"Madam, in fact, if you say that this matter was not done by someone else, I will never believe it." Xiao Changfeng said seriously, "Even if Li Zan was drunk and daring, it is impossible for him to act like a beast in the palace."

"Ah, it turned out to be such a thing!" Madam Lin covered her mouth in shock. "It was a close call. When Qianqian came back from the East Palace, she said that she met him and Master Gu on the palace road. She said that Li Zan spoke frivolously and stared at her lustfully. He is not a good person!"

"Madam, why didn't you tell me about this earlier? If I had known it earlier, I would have beaten this little beast to a pulp." Xiao Changfeng stood up suddenly and cursed loudly in anger.

"Husband, please go on. What happened to him? Which young lady fell victim to his murderous hand?" Mrs. Lin held her husband and asked anxiously.

"I heard it was the second daughter of the Gu family. She is also a ruthless person. During the struggle between the two, she bit Li Zan's face until it bled. She pretended to be submissive and tricked him into a secret place in the lotus pond. When he was not prepared, she grabbed his head and face and pushed him down."

Mrs. Lin opened her eyes wide and looked at her husband, and asked in surprise, "Is he dead? It's better if he's dead, so he won't harm others."

Xiao Changfeng shook his head with a mocking smile on his face. "He is not dead. It is said that he was found by the passing Yulin Guards and rescued. But there is something wrong with his brain. He has become stupid and idiotic, and can't even speak clearly."

Mrs. Lin frowned and asked doubtfully, "Foolish? How could this happen?"

Xiao Changfeng snorted and continued to explain, "Yes, I heard that after he woke up, he stared at people and kept muttering something like "beauty come here". It is said that Master Li was pissed off."

However, this matter is really strange. The young master of the Li family actually violated the second daughter of the Gu family. It is unbelievable. Xiao Changfeng thought to himself that the relationship between the two families was somewhat unclear. Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be able to see the undercurrent between them.

Mrs. Lin sighed, shook her head helplessly, and then changed the subject: "Forget it, don't mind other people's business."

She rubbed her forehead and said, "My husband, you don't know how worried I am today. I'm afraid that the Fourth Prince will take advantage of the Queen's birthday banquet to suddenly ask Your Majesty for a marriage in public. Then our Qianqian will have to marry even if she doesn't want to."

"Is there such a thing? How could I not know? Didn't this kid just return to the capital? How come he fell in love with my Qianqian? This won't do. The relationships in the royal family are complicated. Besides, this kid has been weird since he was young. I don't want Qianqian to marry him. Madam, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll go to the palace and ask the Queen for help." Xiao Changfeng rushed out of the house.

"Husband, husband," Mrs. Lin stood up and shouted, "Listen to me, I haven't finished yet."

Xiao Changfeng finally stopped and said anxiously, "Madam, please tell me quickly. We cannot delay this matter any longer. It will be too late when the dust settles."

"Husband, don't be anxious. After the palace banquet, the queen specially asked Qianqian what she thought. Qianqian said that she didn't want to get married so soon. She wanted to do what she liked." Madam Lin said angrily, "Husband is always too impatient."

"That's good, that's good. I don't want Qianqian to get married so soon. As for what she likes to do, we shouldn't restrict her. Just let her do whatever she likes. Poor Qianqian of our family, alas..." Xiao Changfeng felt very sad when he thought of the suffering his daughter had endured.

In Tingyu Pavilion, Chanyi fed An'er and felt refreshed. Thinking of Pei Jin's words, Chanyi hugged An'er and kissed him.

"My dear baby, we are real boys." She smiled as she touched An'er's chubby face.

Mother Zhou looked at the adorable baby who had just finished his feeding and took a gauze handkerchief to wipe away the sweat from his forehead.

"Our young master has been drinking milk with all his strength today. He seems to be drunk on milk now." Mother Zhou looked at Xiao An'er with narrowed eyes lovingly and smiled, "Our young master was like this when he drank too much milk when he was a child."

Chan Yi raised her eyes to look at her.

"Girl," she said, looking at Chan Yi, "look at this old slave's mouth."

Chan Yi didn't say anything, but just handed Xiao An'er in her arms to her.

Mother Zhou was holding the almost asleep little An'er in her arms, feeling very upset. She regretted that she had said something she shouldn't have said. The girl was now the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, so how could she bring up the past again? She was really out of her mind.

Seeing that she was still not leaving, Chan Yi looked at her in surprise, guessed what was on her mind, smiled and said, "Mom, take him to sleep. Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, just don't mention it again in the future."

Hearing this, Mother Zhou felt relieved and quickly responded, "Miss, I will never dare to do it again."

Since returning to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she thought the young lady would replace her, after all, she was from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. But she didn't expect that the young lady not only didn't replace her, but let her continue to serve her and An'er, and even let her become the housekeeper of Tingyu Pavilion. Moreover, the four first-class maids around the young lady were also very respectful to her and called her Madam Zhou.

All of this made Mother Zhou grateful, but she still missed her prince and prayed every day that he could reunite with his daughter and that cute little An'er could have his father's company. Thinking of the scene where the prince held An'er high in his arms, Mother Zhou sighed secretly. I wonder how the lady and the prince are doing now? She was in the dark here and had no news.

In the side hall of the East Palace, Pei Jin was lying on the couch with his eyes closed and breathing weakly.

"Master Li, you said that Pei Jin drugged Li Zan. Do you think it's possible for him to be like this?" Jing Hao said in a deep voice, looking at Master Li's face.
