After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she became a spirit and was punished, and

Yinzhen opened his eyes and his gaze fell lightly on Yun Ran.

"Why are you still here? Why don't you go back to the palace?"

It would have been bad enough that he had been occupying his wife in the palace all day long, but now that she had moved to the prince's mansion, he actually chased her out.

Xiyu tugged at Yinzhen's sleeve and spoke to help her, "We've agreed to let Yunran stay in the mansion for one night, and we've asked someone to prepare the place for him."

Hearing this, Yinzhen pursed his thin lips and said nothing more.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yun Ran's eyes. She didn't expect... that Fourth Brother would be so obedient. It seems that she has to hold on to Fourth Brother's sister-in-law tightly.

As the year draws to a close, the master of the mansion does not go to the palace to celebrate New Year's Eve, so it is natural for him to go out to buy things.

Since returning home, Cuihe has been working diligently every day, which caught Dongshuang's eye. She unexpectedly took over the purchasing work in the kitchen.

Early in the morning, she went out with a shopping mission.

There was a lot of money in her purse, which made her a little nervous. After she went out, she looked around cautiously.

Little did she know that it was her attempt to hide something that attracted other people's attention.

There was always someone following her in a teahouse not far from Prince Yong's Mansion. Seeing her like this, one of them quietly followed her.

After Cuihe finished shopping, she avoided the crowd, went into an alley, and entered Zuixianlou through the back door.

"Master Jiu——"

After she entered the private room on the rooftop, she finally saw the figure she had been thinking about day and night.

In front of the window, a figure in a dark blue brocade robe turned around after hearing the voice. The proportions of his facial features seemed to have been precisely calculated, and he was charming and handsome.

He has a tall and slender figure, and exudes an innate noble temperament in his every move.

It makes people feel unworthy...

Cuihe paused in her steps, feeling a sense of inferiority and bitterness welling up in her heart.

Seeing her infatuated look, Yinzhen curled his lips and smiled lightly, his eyes flashing with a deep light.

"Why are you in such a hurry to contact me? Is there any important news?"

He took a few steps forward, and the familiar sandalwood scent instantly enveloped Cui He, making her heart palpitate.

News...

Cui He lowered her eyes guiltily.

She had no important news, she just wanted to see him.

But Master Jiu is so busy, if she said that, he would probably be unhappy.

Her heart moved, she raised her eyes and stared at Yinzhen obsessively, and spoke slowly:

"The Fourth Master and his wife will not be attending the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace. They will celebrate in the mansion. They need to buy a lot of things. I will take on the task of buying things in the small kitchen. I will have a few opportunities to go out."

"If there is anything you want to do or bring into the mansion, you can do it during these few days. It will be convenient."

Just like last time.

Although it failed last time, it was because Li and Shen Yu had already been exposed.

This time, it’s hard to say.

Yinzhen's expression became a little dull, as this news was not that important.

It would have been enough to just send a message, but he insisted on meeting.

However, in order to appease Cui He, he still smiled patiently and said, "I don't have any plans yet. If I have any plans, I will contact you as I did before."

As he spoke, he took a few steps closer and bent down slightly, and the scent of sandalwood became stronger.

"For your safety, we should not meet for the time being."

The handsome face was right in front of her. Cui He couldn't help but raise her hand to touch it. Suddenly, the news she heard this morning appeared in her mind, and her fingers paused.

The feeling of loss was hard to conceal in his tone.

"I heard that... Concubine Yi has already chosen your wife, the daughter of a first-rank governor."

Speaking of this concubine, Yinzhen was still very satisfied.

She was born into the Dong'e family. Although her status was not as noble as that of my third sister-in-law, it was not much worse and she was extremely beautiful.

He straightened up and slowly walked to the window. The cold wind came in through the gap in the window, making him feel a little more sober.

It seems that this little palace maid is feeling a little jealous about this matter.

Yinzhen raised his hand, touched his face, and grinned.

His handsome face is truly the culprit that sets women's hearts on fire.

This room is his private residence. It is fully equipped with everything. Even the bed, which he rarely sleeps on in a year, is made of rosewood.

Forget it, just give her a little sweetness.

Yinzhen smiled evilly, turned around, picked the man up by the waist, and shook him gently twice.

She was still a little girl, very light and flirty.

Suddenly being picked up by someone, Cui He's heart beat very fast, as if it was about to stop.

The man's angular jaw was right in front of him, only a palm's distance away.

"Master Jiu——"

She whispered softly, her body stiffening a little.

It was the first time for her to have such close contact with a man, not to mention that this man was the one she loved in her heart.

"good."

Yinzhen put her on the bed, leaned over and kissed her still somewhat childish face, hooked his fingers on the buttons of her collar, and coaxed her softly:

"From now on, you officially become my person. When the time is right, I will take you back to my house."

The bed curtains fluttered in the wind, hiding the naked scenery inside...

Half an hour later, Cui He left Zuixianlou with unsteady steps and a cloak on her body.

The person who was following her stared at her back suspiciously, then looked up at the plaque of Zuixianlou, and an idea flashed through his mind.

He took advantage of the moment when Cui He walked to a place where no one was around, hit her on the back of the neck with a palm, knocked her unconscious, and took her away, heading straight to the back alley of the Eighth Prince's Mansion...

When Cuihe returned to Prince Yong's Mansion with a strange look on her face, Dongshuang had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Her smiling eyes drooped downwards and her face was solemn.

Dong Shuang has always had a good temper and was kind to servants, but she looked like she was angry.

"Sister Dong Shuang."

Cuihe lowered her head guiltily and called out softly.

Dong Shuang looked at her strange cloak, and a look of vigilance flashed in her eyes. "The sun is already hanging in the middle, why did you come back at this time?"

"I……"

Cuihe opened her mouth, as if she didn't know how to start.

"Sister Dong Shuang, I made a mistake when I was shopping today. I was cheated of all the money I had spent on shopping. I failed to complete the task you assigned to me. I am useless. I am ashamed of your appreciation for me."

As she spoke, she began to sob softly.

This is the back door for the palace’s purchases. Although it is in an alley, people still pass by.

Dong Shuang didn't want to be pointed at by others, and didn't want outsiders to know anything about the house, so she said to her in a calm voice: "Come in first and talk."

"Yes."

The two entered the mansion, and Cuihe took out the speech she had prepared in advance and explained it.

In short, the job was not done and the money was lost. She felt guilty and afraid of being punished, so she didn't dare to come back.

In the room, Dong Shuang's gaze fell on her without fail, but it was impossible to tell the emotion in his eyes.

Cuihe lowered her head, tugged at the corner of her cloak guiltily, and held her breath involuntarily.

This is... not believed?

"Where did you get this cloak?"

Dong Shuang did not ask about the purchase, but mentioned the cloak that she found difficult to ignore.
