The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman

"Your Highness, you are indeed different from what others say. You are kind and generous. I thank you for your kindness."

"Your Highness, those people say that you are bad in every way. I think you are broad-minded and kind to others. You are worthy of being the future crown prince. You deserve it."

Ling Qiong kept talking, but she didn't know how many times she cursed Xie Zihan in her heart.

She was already talking until her mouth was dry, why didn't Xie Zihan interrupt her?

She had never spoken so much in one go in her life.

She had never said anything against her will. Thinking about what she had just said...

Ling Qiong felt a chill coming over her and her whole body instantly became chilly.

Seeing that Xie Zihan ignored her, Ling Qiong gritted her teeth and continued: "Your Highness..."

After hearing Ling Qiong's words, Xie Zihan said slowly, "I know you admire me, help Xuan'er in quickly."

"Yes, I'll help the young lady in right away." Ling Qiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Jingxuan felt bitter when she saw Ling Qiong's lackey-like appearance.

Ling Qiong's temperament is much calmer than Ling Huan's. She is always measured in what she says and does. Even with people she is close to, most of the time she just listens more and speaks less.

Now, in order to stay by his side, she not only has to say so much, but also has to try her best to please Xie Zihan.

It really puts her in a difficult position.

Ling Qiong seemed not to care. She turned around, raised an eyebrow at Ling Chen and the others, then supported Shen Jingxuan and walked towards the villa.

Ling Huan pointed at Ling Qiong's back and said, "This...she...she..."

"What do you mean by 'she'? Take another look." Ling Yu slapped Ling Huan in the face.

Ling Huan turned around and saw that after Xie Zihan entered the villa, a crowd of people suddenly surged outside the gate and surrounded the villa in an instant.

Ling Chen pursed his lips tightly and said, "Don't stand here. Ling Yu, go and send the carriage away. Ling Huan and I will go check out the situation first."

"Okay." Ling Yu responded and drove away in the carriage. Ling Chen and Ling Huan hid not far from the villa.

In the courtyard, Shen Jingxuan had just stepped into the courtyard and suddenly looked at Xie Zihan: "I have come to the courtyard as you requested. I want to see Lin'er."

Xie Zihan said: "Someone, go and bring Shen Xinglin here."

His target was only Shen Jingxuan. Now that his goal had been achieved, Shen Xinglin was no longer important.

After a while, Shen Xinglin was brought in as expected. Shen Jingxuan hurried forward: "Lin'er, are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

Shen Xinglin looked at Shen Jingxuan with red eyes: "Sister, I'm fine."

They originally just wanted to catch him, but because Xie Zihan had too many people, he couldn't escape for the time being.

Shen Jingxuan took Shen Xinglin's hand and said, "Xie Zihan, where is my room? I'm going to rest."

Xie Zihan knew that Shen Jingxuan blamed him, but as long as he could see him, the method didn't matter.

"Xuan'er, I'll take you there." After saying that, Xie Zi Han took a step forward.

With the support of Ling Qiong and Shen Xinglin, Shen Jingxuan followed Xie Zihan into the room.

Seeing him standing still in the room, Shen Jingxuan frowned slightly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you have anything else to say?"

Xie Zihan pursed his lips: "I'll come to see you tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Jingxuan deeply, then turned and walked out.

Her people are already in the other courtyard, and there will be plenty of time for them to meet in the future, so there is no need to rush.

Ling Qiong quickly closed the door: "Princess, what should we do next? When do we leave?"

Shen Jingxuan found a chair and sat down, rubbing her forehead gently: "No hurry, wait until the people in the palace arrive."

She looked at Shen Xinglin: "Lin'er, did Xie Zihan embarrass you?"

"No." Shen Xinglin shook his head slightly.

After a long silence, he pursed his lips and looked at Shen Jingxuan: "Sister, I..."

Seeing Shen Jingxuan looking tired, Shen Xinglin suddenly took back what he was about to say.

His sister had taken such a long carriage ride to rescue him, so he shouldn't disturb her rest.

But today, he was captured by Xie Zihan's men. He had a lot on his mind and was eager to know his sister's opinion.

Shen Xinglin glanced at Shen Jingxuan's bulging belly and didn't continue talking.

Shen Jingxuan noticed his strangeness and asked, "Lin'er, when did you become so hesitant with your sister?"

"Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll find a solution."

Shen Xinglin pursed his lips and shook his head slightly at Shen Jingxuan.

He was afraid that Shen Jingxuan would be disappointed in him.

"Are you angry with your sister because she didn't come back to see you?"

Ling Qiong hurriedly explained: "Master, it's not that the princess won't go back to see you, it's just..."

She glanced at Shen Jingxuan, and seeing that she did not speak to stop him, she continued, "The prince is not in the capital, and the princess is pregnant, so it is really inconvenient for her to leave the house."

"And you also saw today that Xie Zihan was always keeping an eye on the princess. He was worried that the princess would be in danger after leaving the palace."

Shen Xinglin shook her head and said, "Sister Ling Qiong, I don't blame you."

Seeing Shen Jingxuan staring at him, Shen Xinglin sighed slightly and said, "Sister, I don't blame you, nor am I angry with you."

"I was brought here today, and I suddenly changed my mind. I just don't know if this decision is right."

Shen Jingxuan said: "Lin'er, do you have a new idea? Why don't you tell me about it and I'll help you think about it?"

"it is good."

Shen Xinglin murmured in a low voice: "Sister, I... I don't want to study anymore."

After saying this, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Shen Jingxuan.

Ling Qiong stared at Shen Xinglin with eyes wide open: "Master, you are very good at studying, why do you suddenly not want to study?"

Seeing Shen Jingxuan staring at Shen Xinglin without saying anything, Ling Qiong continued, "In a few months, it will be the autumn examination. As long as you continue to study, you will definitely be admitted. It would be a pity to give up studying now, right?"

Shen Xinglin lowered her head and said firmly, "Sister Ling Qiong, I really don't want to study anymore."

Ling Qiong wanted to persuade her a few more times, but when she saw Shen Jingxuan shaking her head slightly at her, she had to take back what she was about to say.

After a long time, Shen Xinglin saw that Shen Jingxuan didn't say anything, and looked up nervously.

When their eyes met, Shen Xinglin suddenly regretted saying such words.

Thinking about when he took part in the imperial examination, Shen Jingxuan picked him up and dropped him off every day. She must have been full of hope for him, hoping that he would bring honor to the family after passing the examination, and hoping that he could expand the Zhenguo Mansion in the future.

I’m afraid my sister will be disappointed in him, right?

Shen Jingxuan looked at Shen Xinglin for a long time, until he couldn't bear it anymore and lowered his head again.

Shen Xinglin held the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, and a fine layer of sweat had already appeared on his body.

Shen Jingxuan looked away and stared at the teacup on the table: "Why don't you want to study?"

"Since Lin'er has made this decision, he must have thought about what he wants to do in the future. You can tell me about it."

Shen Xinglin suddenly looked up and clasped his hands together.
