The next morning, Nanny You, who was by Princess Anding's side, came to the prince's courtyard. Seeing that the prince was having breakfast, she walked over, bowed, and then said: "This old servant greets the prince. Princess, please ask the prince to come over."

Prince Zhou Yao put down the bowl and looked up at the old nanny, "Madame You, do you know why my mother wants to see me?"

He still has to go to the Imperial College to attend classes later.

However, Nanny You said: "You will know when you go there."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Prince Zhou had no choice but to stand up and say, "Let's go," and then he walked towards his mother's yard.

Only Jin Chuan, the servant following behind him, felt uneasy.

As soon as Prince Zhou stepped into his mother's room, he heard a stern voice, "You unfilial son, kneel down in front of me."

Prince Zhou Yao looked at his angry mother in surprise, "Mother, what did I do wrong that makes you so angry?"

Nanny You and everyone else retreated and closed the door.

Princess Anding then said: "What's the matter? You should know in your heart that mother asked you to get close to the princess and please her. Even though the Princess's Mansion does not like us mother and son, mother has lost face and taken you to get close to the princess. But you secretly hooked up with that bitch from the Ministry of Revenue behind mother's back. Are you worthy of mother?"

When Zhou Yao heard this, he knelt down and pleaded: "Mother, I have no interest in Princess Ronghua, and Manli is not the kind of person you said she is. I like her and want to marry her. Please grant my wish."

When he said that, Princess Anding became even angrier. "Do you know that His Majesty is very suspicious of your father? As the crown prince, how can you be sentimental? You have to consider the overall situation. If you marry the princess, we will be true royal relatives, the emperor will be relieved, and our entire Anding Palace will not be suspected all day long. Do you want to have a knife at your neck all day long?"

After saying this, she gently moved to her son's side, put her lips close to his ear, and whispered softly: "Besides, do you want to disappoint your father?"

Her voice was as light as a mosquito, but it struck Zhou Yao's heart like a heavy hammer, causing his eyes to darken and deepen in an instant, as if filled with endless darkness. He was silent for a moment, then finally spoke slowly, "It's my son's fault. I will marry the princess."

Princess Anding felt a little relieved when she heard this. She gently helped her son up and said softly, "Son, get up quickly. Mother knows that you are a good son."

Prince Zhou stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Mother, I'm going to the Imperial College first." After that, he turned around and left, his steps seemed a little hurried.

Seeing this, Nanny You hurried forward. A look of worry crossed her face as she whispered, "The prince seems to still be angry. Will he blame the princess?"

Princess Anding smiled slightly and said confidently, "I naturally understand my son. He will definitely marry the princess obediently."

She knew that her son was as ambitious as his father.

After Prince Zhou walked out of his mother's yard, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the servant Jin Chuan behind him. His face was as gloomy as water and he asked, "You were the one who reported the secret, weren't you?"

Jin Chuan's heart trembled suddenly, and his face turned pale as paper in an instant. He knelt on the ground with a plop and explained tremblingly: "Prince, I was forced to do this. If I don't tell you, the princess will definitely beat me to death."

Prince Zhou said, "If you tell on me again, I will beat you to death right now. You are my man, don't you know who your master is?"

Jin Chuan rubbed his hands begging for mercy, "Prince, I know it, I will never dare to do it again."

Prince Zhou said, "You will send a letter to the Chen Mansion later, and then take some jewelry from my private storehouse and send it together. Remember, you must not let mother know."

He said sternly: "If you betray me again, I will end your life."

Jin Chuan trembled in fear and said, "Yes, I will definitely see to it." The prince looked really scary now.

After giving the instructions, Prince Zhou went directly to the Imperial College, but when the class was over, Jin Chuan told him that the things could not be delivered. He only heard that Miss Chen San was sent to a farm and imprisoned, but he could not find out which farm it was.

Prince Zhou said: "Spend more money to find out."

Jin Chuan, "Yes, I'll go right away..."

The prince really cares about this Miss Chen.

On the other side, in a farm outside the capital, there was a "bang..." and there was a sound of porcelain falling. The food was scattered all over the floor. The maid Bihe took a few steps back in fright. The young lady was angry again.

Chen Manli cursed: "The food here is so bad and so broken. Even the porcelain bowls are ugly. How can I live in such a shabby place?"

She shouted again: "Biluo, where is my book?"

The maid Biluo said fearfully: "Miss, I left in a hurry and forgot to take it."

Chen Manli was furious. She had nothing and even had such a stupid maid. "What a waste! Go kneel down on the gravel road outside the door."

Biluo replied fearfully, "Yes, Miss," and then ran out quickly.

Chen Manli then instructed: "Bihe, go to the street and buy me some new sketchbooks."

The maid Bihe quickly responded, "Yes, Miss, I'll go right away," and ran away in a hurry.

After a while, she arrived at the gate of the courtyard. As soon as Bihe stepped out of the threshold, she was stopped by two strong men guarding the gate. Bihe cursed: "You two blind dogs dare to stop me. Open your dog eyes and see, I am the lady's personal maid."

One of the men said: "The Second Madam has specifically instructed that the young lady is here to reflect, not to enjoy herself, and you are not allowed to go far away."

Seeing that they were tall and strong, Bihe knew it was impossible for her to force her way in, so she had to go back.

Chen Manli saw her running back in a hurry and asked, "Why are you back?"

Is it so fast to go out and buy a storybook?

"Miss, something bad has happened. The guards won't let you go out."

Chen Manli screamed, "What? Can't go out?"

So when Chen Manli arrived at the gate, the gatekeeper said the same thing, "Miss, the second lady said you can't go out."

Chen Manli cursed: "Get out of here!" and was about to walk out.

But she was pulled back by the guards, "Miss Third, please don't make things difficult for us. The Second Madam said that if you force your way in, she will ask your grandmother to keep you locked up for a few more days."

Chen Manli... This second aunt is really powerful. She has everything to do with her. When she returns home, I will definitely teach her a lesson.

Chen Manli had no choice but to walk back angrily, and her anger grew even more.
