After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Wen Zhimiao went to the morning court early in the morning, much earlier than Shi Wanyue.

When Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu woke up, Shi Wanyue had already gone to the Censorate.

There were only the two of them, Bian Ruitong and Duan Jiling left in the villa.

The four of them had breakfast together, and Zheng Shu begged Qi Linglang to accompany her home.

Logically speaking, it's not a good thing after all, it's Zheng Shu's family affair. What Zheng Shu wants to talk about today is not just her marriage with Bian Ruitong, but also other things.

But Zheng Shu really needed someone to accompany her, and Qi Linglang couldn't bear to let her face it alone, so she went with her anyway.

Bian Ruitong originally asked if she needed to go along and help talk, but Zheng Shu shyly shook her head and refused. She didn't want to involve Bian Ruitong and Duan Jiling again.

Before she and Qi Linglang went back, a girl came over and said, "Shao Ji, His Highness has prepared a separate courtyard for you. You can move in with your luggage. Or you can move in without luggage. Just show up and you can move in."

These words were said by Wen Zhimiao, and the guards were only responsible for conveying them.

Zheng Shu couldn't help but laugh: "Okay."

"His Highness also told me to go home with Young Lady Ji." She was wearing the clothes of the Eastern Palace guards. Wen Zhimiao said nothing, but made her attitude clear.

Wen Zhimiao didn't say anything to Zheng Shu and Qi Linglang, but his actions were enough to move Zheng Shu.

The guard followed Zheng Shu and Qi Linglang. Bian Ruitong watched them leave and turned to ask Duan Jiling: "Lingling, do you want to see my mother and my sisters and brothers?"

Duan Jiling quickly shook her head when she heard her words: "No, no, no, don't."

She was afraid of such things and didn't want to have too much contact with any elders.

Bian Ruitong just asked this question because he suddenly remembered it.

"So what are we going to do today?" Bian Ruitong asked Duan Jiling for his opinion.

"How about going mushroom picking? Although the mushrooms here are not very delicious, and there are not so many varieties."

"Then why are you still going?" Bian Ruitong asked in confusion.

"But it's fun, and not all of them are inedible. Some of them taste great if you cook them in a different way. It's just that it's hard to make a fresh soup out of them," Duan Jiling said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll have someone prepare the horses." Bian Ruitong said in a gentle voice.

The two of them are quite leisurely now.

On the other side, Zheng Shu and Qi Linglang had already walked halfway.

The carriage was driving slowly on the streets of Yunjing City, and Zheng Shu was reading his notes.

Qi Linglang let her look for a while, then reached out and covered her eyes: "Be good, don't look at it for now. The light in the carriage is not good. Look again when you come back."

Zheng Shu took her hand away and obediently put down the book.

"Linglang..." Zheng Shu leaned against Qi Linglang and called her softly. Qi Linglang lowered her eyes and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's just..."

"Nervous?" Qi Linglang asked softly.

Zheng Shu felt a little embarrassed, but she would never hide her feelings in front of Qi Linglang: "Well, a little bit."

Qi Linglang knew her too well, so she knew that she was definitely not just a little bit nervous, but she must be extremely nervous to the point of being able to say it out loud.

"It's okay, I'll stay with you. If something doesn't work, I can talk to you about it." Qi Linglang said to her gently.

Zheng Shu suddenly looked up at Qi Linglang: "Linglang, you are so nice."

She knew very well that Qi Linglang was not like Wen Zhimiao and the others, and like her, she did not like to communicate too much with others. But when it was just her and Qi Linglang, Qi Linglang was always the one who came forward to communicate.

Qi Linglang hugged her waist and said, "Why are you saying these things, you idiot?"

The two of them snuggled together as the carriage continued to move slowly, and soon stopped in front of Zheng's mansion.

Zheng Shu got off the carriage first.

There was the mark of the Eastern Palace on the carriage, and anyone in Yunjing City who was not too ignorant would be able to recognize it.

Someone saw Zheng Shu getting off the prince's carriage and couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

Then Qi Linglang also got off the carriage. Zheng Shu held Qi Linglang's hand and stepped into the Zheng Mansion. The guards arranged by Wen Zhimiao also followed her in.

Zheng Shu's father was no longer a minister, but just a minor official, and was not qualified to attend the morning court.

When she returned, her father was still having breakfast. When he saw Zheng Shu come back, he wanted to scold her, but when he saw Qi Linglang beside her and the prince's guards following behind her, he took back his words of scolding.

"Are you back? Linglang is here too." Zheng Shu's mother was winked at twice by her father. As they had been married for many years, she understood each other's thoughts. She immediately smiled and talked to Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu.

"Father, Mother." Zheng Shu simply bowed to the two of them as elders, and Qi Linglang followed suit.

"Yeah." Lord Zheng, who acted like the head of the family, nodded slightly. He even smiled when facing Qi Linglang, but still had a stern face when facing Zheng Shu.

"Is father on holiday today?" Zheng Shu straightened up and asked nervously. She grabbed Qi Linglang's hand, as if looking for some support.

"Yes, something happened?"

Hearing that he was taking a day off today, Zheng Shu breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "I heard that my father went to ask Tongtong for marriage on my behalf yesterday. Is that true?"

Her voice was louder and clearer than usual, not as gentle and timid as usual.

"Yes, what? Are you here to call me to task?" The middle-aged man looked at Zheng Shu coldly.

"Tongtong already has someone she likes. Father's action is really rash. Besides, I don't like Tongtong either." Zheng Shu was still a little nervous and stuttered when he said this.

After all, she had never done anything like this.

"So what? Throughout history, marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers. I'm your father, and I'm going to propose marriage to the Bian family for your own good, but you don't appreciate it?"

Zheng Shu didn't feel heartbroken when she heard his words, because she no longer had any expectations of her parents.

"My daughter is not here to call you to task. I just want to tell you that I don't like Tongtong. And according to the laws of our dynasty, parents are not allowed to force their children to marry. As a court official, you should understand this." Zheng Shu was so nervous that her forehead was sweating, but she still said this seriously.

"I'm your father! It's not your turn to educate me."

"Do you really think the prince will like you? How can you compare to Wan Yue?"

Zheng Shu was still nervous. She wanted to answer, but she was so nervous that she couldn't even speak.

She wasn't nervous because she was afraid of her father, but she was nervous about arguing with someone.

Qi Linglang saw her helplessness and held her hand again, interlocking their fingers.

"Doctor Zheng, please be careful with your words." She looked at Zheng Shu's father with a calm gaze.

Her firm and slightly cold gaze, her straight back and the white clothes she wore today all made her look very much like the feared Qi Yuanshou in the court.
