My bedroom is connected to ancient times, I am in love with the prince

At this time, Cuiping came to their side slowly with a tray in her hand, her face full of joy. She gently placed the plate of lychees on the table and said with a smile:

"Second Young Master, these are lychees given to us by the palace. Come and have a taste!"

Seeing this, Fang laughed and scolded, "You little girl, Fangfei Garden only has this one plate of lychees, and you brought it to me before I even said anything."

Cui Ping heard this and quickly replied, "Auntie, I know you saved it for the Second Young Master. When I heard he was back, I hurried over to bring it to you."

Xie Beiyu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile, and said in a gentle voice: "This girl has really been spoiled by her aunt!"

Fang chuckled, "I think she's become even more lawless because she has you backing her up."

Cuiping stood aside and heard what Fang said. Her face turned red with shame. She secretly glanced at Xie Beiyu and found that Xie Beiyu was looking at her gently with a smile on his face. She was so embarrassed that she quickly lowered her head.

"Second Master, Auntie, I was stewing soup in the kitchen just now. I'll go take a look first."

Fang said softly, "Well, go ahead!"

Cuiping then hurried out of the house. When she thought of how gentle the second young master was towards her, she felt so happy that she almost fainted.

After Cuiping left, Fang and Xie Beiyu's expressions returned to normal, as if the scene just now had never happened.

Fang asked, "Yu'er, are you really not going to marry? If you have a girl you like, please ask Madam for her advice."

Xie Beiyu's voice was flat and even, if you listened carefully, there was a hint of coldness in it. "Auntie, you know I won't marry a woman from the capital."

Fang Shi heard Xie Beiyu say this, without much emotion on her face, she just said softly: "Okay, then Auntie will not ask any more questions in the future."

Xie Beiyu didn't want to discuss this.

He asked in a deep voice, "My aunt just said that things are not going well in the mansion, but what happened?"

When Fang heard Xie Beiyu's question, her face gradually became anxious.

"Alas, a few days ago, my aunt sent someone to the farm outside the Marquis's mansion to collect interest. Unexpectedly, when they came back, the money was robbed by gangsters."

He added, "Your Highness is now in charge of the household affairs. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid everyone will say that your Highness is incompetent."

After listening to this, Xie Beiyu frowned and his eyes became cold and sharp.

But not long after, his expression returned to normal, and he softly comforted her, "Don't worry, Auntie. Just be careful next time. Since your money has been robbed, I'll make up for it by giving you the money you lost."

Fang nodded gently, a trace of worry still lingering between her brows, "This is the only way now."

Then, he grabbed Xie Beiyu's hand and said distressedly: "It's so hard for my Yu'er!"

Xie Beiyu's expression was calm, but his tone was extremely firm, "Aunt, please don't say these things in the future. My son wanted this!"

It was a hot summer day, and the weather was so scorching that even the ants had hidden away on the streets.

After having lunch with Li Jingsheng and Song Lingxin, Xie Beiheng and Lin Xiangxiang returned to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

At this time, the two were sitting face to face in Xie Beiheng's room, with a chessboard placed in the middle and a bucket of ice next to each of them to cool down.

"Xie Beiheng, how come you're so good at chess? Is there anything you can't do?"

Hearing this, Xie Beiheng looked up and glanced at her.

"You've already regretted your moves three times in this game. I won't let you regret them again."

Lin Xiangxiang disagreed and said confidently: "Oh, you make it seem like I have a bad character!"

"When I played chess with my classmates before, even though I was the youngest, I always won. They couldn't see through my tricks, so why didn't you fall for them?"

Xie Beiheng obviously didn't expect the other party to say such a thing.

"Skills? Did you use any skills just now?"

Lin Xiangxiang: ...

"forget it."

"Hey, wait, I made a mistake again. I didn't mean to play here. It's all your fault for distracting me with all the buzzing."

Xie Beiheng: ...

After Lin Xiangxiang regretted her move for the fourth time, Xie Beiheng couldn't help but speak:

"Your elephant shouldn't be here. My cannon will capture it, and I'll be checking your army next."

"Huh? Wait, wait, let me think about it."

At this time, voices were heard outside the door.

Xu Chong saluted the visitor and said, "Greetings, Second Young Master."

Xie Beiyu smiled and said softly, "Guard Xu, there's no need to be so polite! Is my brother in the room?"

Xu Chong replied, "In reply to the Second Young Master, the Crown Prince is in his room. Please allow me to go in and report."

Xie Beiyu said amiably, "Okay, thank you, Guard Xu!"

Xu Chong said, "Second Young Master, what are you talking about? I'll go in right away. Please wait a moment."

When I entered the house, the prince and the girl were playing chess. The prince's face was full of doting and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Xu Chong bowed and said, "Sir, the Second Young Master has arrived and is outside the house now."

Second son?

Lin Xiangxiang looked at Xie Beiheng and asked, "Is it Xie Beiyu?"

Xie Beiheng nodded to her, then said to Xu Chong, "Let him in!"

When Xie Beiyu entered the room, he saw his elder brother sitting opposite a beautiful woman on the Arhat bed. There was a chessboard on the coffee table between them, and they were obviously playing chess.

They all looked relaxed and happy, and it seemed that they were getting along very well!

Xie Beiyu bowed to Xie Beiheng and said, "Brother."

Then he looked at Lin Xiangxiang with a questioning look in his eyes.

Xie Beiheng said: "This is Miss Lin."

Xie Beiyu then bowed to Lin Xiangxiang and said, "Miss Lin."

Lin Xiangxiang wanted to stand up and return the greeting, but Xie Beiheng pressed his hand in front of her, indicating that she didn't need to stand up.

So, Lin Xiangxiang nodded gently to Xie Beiyu, "Second Young Master."

Lin Xiangxiang had previously thought that Xie Beiyu looked like Xie Beiheng, but when she saw him with her own eyes, she realized that the two were completely different.

Xie Beiyu looks very much like Aunt Fang and is very beautiful. Yes, although he is a man, Lin Xiangxiang sees beauty in his face.

It's just that his eyebrows and eyes are deep, and if you just look at his appearance, you will think he is a lonely, cold and unfathomable person, but he exudes a warm, kind and approachable aura.

Lin Xiangxiang thought, maybe it was because he was a bastard's son. Everyone has his own protective color, let alone a bastard's son from a wealthy family!

Xie Beiheng said to Xie Beiyu, "Sit down."

"What brings you here today?"

Xie Beiyu's expression was gentle and respectful. "Nothing much. I just came back from Jinling and came to see big brother."

Xie Beiheng nodded slightly, moved a chess piece in his hand, and asked him, "Did your trip to Jinling go smoothly?"

Xie Beiyu replied, "It went smoothly. Mr. Zhou from Jinling is straightforward and righteous. He is a rare partner."

"We should have returned home a long time ago, but there was a heavy rain a few days ago, and we were delayed on the road for a few days."
