After rebirth, the prince fell into the hands of the princess again

"What's going on? Why are you so late than the agreed time? If you don't come back soon we will have to break into the princess's mansion."

Song Jinyu pulled Ji Chu over and turned her around, then looked her up and down. He felt relieved only after making sure that she was not injured.

"Go away, I'm dizzy from all the spinning. We could have returned to the palace on time, but we met Mu Mu's master on the way back, and then we went to the Xiao Mansion. Finally, Linlang brought us back through the secret passage of the Xiao Mansion, so we were so late."

"The princess is not in the princess's residence. What's the point of you barging in? You'll only cause more trouble."

Rong Yan had already stood in front of Tang Mumu. The others watched each other and left the room tacitly, leaving the space for the young couple.

"What's wrong?" Rong Yan gently hugged the person in his arms, "You have been absent-minded since you came back and didn't say anything. Are you sad because you saw Master?"

Almost instantly, the feeling of grievance surged into Tang Mumu's heart, and she suddenly burst into tears, which frightened Rong Yan so much that he became at a loss.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Tell me what's wrong and I'll find a way to solve it."

Rong Yan quickly let the person go, only to find that Tang Mumu had already cried, with her eyes terribly red. Rong Yan was a little angry with himself, wondering why he didn't notice something was wrong just now.

"My master asked me to go with him. He wants to kill Achu and Fanfan. Do you think he will want to kill me one day? What should I do, Ayan?"

Rong Yan hugged her in his arms again with a look of heartache. Tang Mumu had never cried like this in front of him. This time she was really sad.

"I'm here for everything. Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I'll face it with you."

Rong Yan didn't know what else he could do except to make a promise to her. That was the master who raised her and had always been by her side. Tang Mumu regarded him as closer to her than her biological father, but now she was forced to stand on the opposite side of him.

Rong Yan could empathize with Tang Mumu's helplessness, but he could do nothing.

Tang Mumu hugged Rong Yan tightly and leaned on his chest. Only in his arms could she feel a moment of security.

"You are hurt?"

Rong Yan suddenly spoke, and Tang Mumu only then felt a burning pain on her back where she had been hit. Rong Yan turned behind her with a sullen face, and without saying anything, he started to undress her and check her wound.

"Don't move." Tang Mumu took a step away and held her clothes tightly to prevent Rong Yan from seeing the wound.

"Stop it, you're bleeding, this is definitely not a minor injury, we need to treat it quickly."

"It's just a minor injury. It was too dark in the secret passage and I accidentally bumped into it. It will be fine after applying some medicine. Don't worry."

Rong Yan frowned, but did not doubt Tang Mumu's words. He pulled Tang Mumu and made her lie on the bed, while he began to look for some medicine in his bag.

Tang Mumu looked at him and finally smiled. She still felt at ease being with him.

"You're injured like this and you're still smiling? I need to clean the wound first before I can apply medicine. It might be a little painful, just bear with it. I'll try to be gentle and it will be healed soon."

Rong Yan had already lifted the clothes on Tang Mumu's shoulders. He frowned when he saw the wound clearly, turned around to find some warm water, and gently wiped the area around the wound with a wet towel.

Tang Mumu lay on the pillow. The wound didn't seem to hurt anymore. Thinking of her master, she didn't seem that sad anymore. She was sighing at Rong Yan's great role, but was brought back to her senses by his sudden words.

"Tell me the truth about how you got hurt. It doesn't look like you got hurt by yourself. I don't know how small your body is. Even if you hit it with all your strength, it's impossible for you to get hurt so badly. Tell me the truth."

Rong Yan treated her wound, applied medicine, and put her clothes back on before asking her questions.

Tang Mumu turned her head to look at him, blinking her big eyes with an admiring look on her face, which made Rong Yan's heart tighten and his throat boil.

"You can see this, you are worthy of it."

"Be quiet, lie still and don't move. When I ask you what caused your injury, don't change the subject."

"In fact, Fanfan and I had a small conflict in the secret passage, and I bumped into the stone wall without paying attention. She didn't do it on purpose, and she didn't notice the protruding stone wall behind me. Don't tell her, lest she feel guilty again. This injury will heal in two days. Ah Chu and Fanfan don't know, so don't let it slip."

Rong Yan frowned, and his eyes turned cold in almost an instant.

"what happened?"

"Oh, it's just a matter between girls. It's so late tonight. I'll tell you tomorrow. I'm sleepy and I want to go to bed. Don't ask me."

Although Rong Yan didn't want her to get away with it, he felt particularly pitiful when he saw her red eyes. He wrapped her in a quilt, held her in his arms, moved inside, and lay down on top of her.

"Go to bed quickly. My back is still injured. I can only sleep on my stomach."

"Yes, sir." Tang Mumu closed her eyes happily. Rong Yan curled his lips a little helplessly. Only until the person next to him fell asleep did Rong Yan dare to close his eyes.

The next day, the weather was fine. When Tang Mumu got up, Rong Yan had already gone to do his work. After washing up and stretching in the yard, she heard the sound of a door opening behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Linlang.

Because of what happened last night, the two of them didn't say a word after they came back. In fact, after returning to the palace yesterday, Tang Mumu figured it out. She and Linlang are not only friends but also relatives. Linlang will become her second sister-in-law in the future. How can the two of them become estranged because of a small matter? So Tang Mumu took the initiative to step forward and talk to her.

"Fanfan, are you up? Did you sleep well last night? Did you have another fight with your second brother?"

The moment Linlang opened the door and saw Tang Mumu, she felt a little uncomfortable. After all, something unpleasant happened between them last night. After returning to the room last night, she thought a lot. It was Jiang Moqing who did something wrong, not Tang Mumu, so she shouldn't take her anger out on her.

"I'm sorry for what happened last night. I was impulsive. I apologize to you. I hope you don't hate me. Can we still be the same as before?"

Tang Mumu walked up to her with a smile, took her hand and said, "Of course it's fine. It wasn't all your fault last night. I was also wrong. Good friends don't need to apologize. We will still be good friends in the future."

While the two were talking, Ji Chu pushed the door open. Seeing that the two of them were back to normal, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right. Trust is the most important thing between friends. That's what makes us like a family."

Tang Mumu happily ran to Ji Chu and hugged her and rocked her. She was so happy to see Ji Chu again.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. Has Jiang Yu bothered you again since we left Shangjing? And how are my elder sister and elder brother? Are they just newlyweds? I haven't seen my elder sister for a long time, and I miss her a little."

Ji Chu's smiling face froze, and he looked at Tang Mumu seriously.

"Mu Mu, there is something I need to tell you, but don't be in a hurry to hear it, it's just some hearsay."

"What's wrong? You suddenly become so serious, is this serious?"

Upon hearing this, Linlang also walked over and stood with Tang Mumu.
