The two maids bowed their heads respectfully and reported, "Madam, the prince has returned home. He heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess was admiring the lotus in the garden. He wondered if it would be convenient for her to come in, so he asked us to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"So it's Shenzhi who's back. He must have something important to tell you when he comes here now?" Mrs. Wang asked in surprise, but she felt relieved in her heart. She didn't want to get involved in matters of love between men and women at all, for fear of saying something wrong.

Although it would be a great joy for her son to marry a legitimate princess, she secretly hoped that her son would not marry into a high-class family, especially a royal princess. The couple had to perform the rituals of monarch and subject, which was really too hard.

When Princess Qing Yuan heard that Pei Jin had returned, she smiled and said to Madam Wang, "Madam, this is his garden, so why is it inconvenient? In this case, it is the fault of me, the uninvited guest."

Chan Yi was a little curious. Could it be that Pei Jin knew that the princess had come to the house, so he rushed over to see her? Was he afraid that the princess would know about their mother-son relationship and would be unhappy, so he came to comfort her?

"What are you talking about, Your Highness? It is an honor for our Yong'an Marquis Mansion to have you come to our house. Since Your Highness does not mind, then you two can go and invite the Prince in." Madam Wang raised her hand and said.

An'er, who was nestling in her arms, probably didn't see his mother, and started to make a noise.

"Chan Yi, come and hold An'er." Mrs. Wang waved to Chan Yi.

Chan Yi carefully stepped forward and picked up An'er. The little baby smelled his mother's scent and happily arched his body against her, smiling with a cute dimple.

Princess Qingyuan looked at Chanyi's well-behaved appearance and nodded secretly. It seemed that this girl was really too timid.

After a while, Pei Jin entered the garden and walked to the attic. He bowed to Princess Qingyuan and said, "I didn't know Your Highness was in the mansion. It was my fault."

He walked past Chan Yi and her son like a gust of wind, without even glancing at them.

"I was just passing by and suddenly wanted to come and see the lotus flowers in the mansion, so I came in to bother the Marquis." Princess Qingyuan smiled gently, and there was a little bit of girlish shyness in her soft words.

She is indeed a girl in love! Whether it is a princess or a commoner, she treats the person she loves the same. Su Chanyi, a bystander, immediately came online.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess's visit truly brings honor to our humble residence." Pei Jin said in a clear voice.

What a flattering official's words, my Lord, I don't like to hear such emotionless words, okay! Chan Yi rolled her eyes in her heart.

At this moment, An'er, who was peaceful and quiet in her arms, suddenly waved his hands and babbled. Pei Jin had often held him during this period, and the little baby must have recognized his father's voice.

"An'er, stop making trouble." Su Chanyi was listening with great interest, and was a little flustered by An'er's noise.

"What happened to An'er?" Princess Qingyuan asked with concern.

Pei Jin seemed to have just seen Chan Yi and her child. He frowned slightly and looked at them. He lightly rebuked, "Who asked you to come here? Don't you know that a crying child will disturb Her Royal Highness the Princess? Hurry up and take the child back to the house. You came out in such shabby clothes. It's really outrageous!"

Oh my god, this bastard changes his attitude so quickly. In the morning he was still flirting with me for a kiss, but now he thinks that mother and son have embarrassed him.

She bowed and saluted with grievance, saying, "Yes, my lord, your highness, I will take my leave now."

She just wanted to watch a good show, but was kicked out. Su Canyi felt a little uncomfortable. It turned out that all men were like this. Although she had never been in a relationship, she had read so many romance novels in the past, and the scumbags in them were all like this.

She took a few steps back with the child in her arms and was about to turn around when she heard the man call her, "Let Mother Zhou hold An'er. You're not feeling well holding him like this, so you keep crying."

Really, when did I lose the ability to hold a child? It turns out that when a scumbag gets picky, he even finds fault with a woman’s breathing.

Mother Zhou immediately came over, picked up An'er, and took Su Canyi out of the attic.

"Brother Jin really likes children." Princess Qingyuan said softly after watching this scene, "An'er is indeed a little kid that everyone loves."

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Pei Jin said lightly, feeling a little worried in his heart. The little concubine must have been frightened by her aggrieved look just now, and so was her mother. Why did she ask them both to come out without any warning? Didn't she know that Chan Yi has always been timid and would be at a loss when seeing the princess?

Princess Qingyuan saw the handsome man in front of her wearing a red robe. His every move was so elegant that he attracted more attention than the lotus flowers in the pond. She suddenly felt sad.

He had always had nothing but respect for her, but just now she saw him scolding that concubine, and although his words were unpleasant, they clearly contained some emotion, which made her feel a little envious.

"Madam, it's getting late. I'd better go back to the palace." Princess Qingyuan said softly with a faint smile on her lips.

"Your Highness, let me take you back to the palace. Please enjoy the lotus flowers for a while while I go get an important document." Pei Jin said, bowing.

"Your Highness, why don't you wait and be careful and let him take you back to the palace, then I will feel at ease." Mrs. Wang said with a smile, and immediately ordered the maids to pick some good-looking lotus for the princess to take back to the palace for flower arrangement.

Princess Qingyuan nodded and watched Pei Jin bow to her and leave.

In the room, Chan Yi held An'er and coaxed him to sleep, but An'er opened his big black eyes and smiled at his mother.

"Baby, be good and go to sleep quickly. It's all your fault. Keep crying. If you annoy me, you'll be in trouble." Chan Yi pretended to be angry and patted An'er's little butt.

"Chan Yi." The man pushed the door open and glanced at Zhou's mother who was standing beside Chan Yi.

Mother Zhou nodded in understanding and quietly left.

What was he doing here? Why wasn't he accompanying the noble princess to appreciate the flowers?

Chan Yi looked up at him in surprise. He was in such a hurry to get her back, wasn't it because he thought she and An'er were an eyesore? Maybe he was just pretending to be sweet-mouthed and was planning to get rid of them!

"Young Master." She fell to her knees while holding An'er in her arms. She didn't care about the pain in her knees.

It was really terrible. She had never expected this move. This was a feudal society. It was common to kill a concubine casually. No one cared.

"Chan Yi." Pei Jin looked at the panicked little concubine who knelt on the ground in shock, and quickly hugged her, "You are so scared, does your knee hurt? Mom, take An'er away quickly."

"I don't want it, I don't want it, don't take my child away." Chan Yi was so panicked that she even forgot her own name and just held the child tightly.
