Song Wu forced out a wry smile, "It's not what I want to do, it's what others want to do to me."

After saying that, she called Sang Luo over.

"Go and help me keep an eye on the Second Miss right now, to see where she goes and who she meets!"

Sang Luo immediately took the order and left.

Nanny Yu was curious, "Hasn't the Second Miss and the young lady reconciled? Why are you still staring at her?"

Song Wu: "The apology is just a tactic. There must be other purposes."

But she didn't want Mammy to worry too much, so she said, "It's important to be on guard against others. Don't worry, Mammy. Maybe I'm overthinking it!"

Xiao Kui helped Nanny Yu walk around the yard. Song Wu was painting in front of the desk. After a while, he finished the painting and took it to find Zhiyi.

Zhiyi looked at the painting and couldn't help but secretly look at Song Wu. She chuckled and said, "Sister, are you going to give this thing to your sweetheart?"

Song Wu painted a sachet. On this day in her previous life, Song Chuchu would give her an identical one. It was this sachet that overturned her life.

Song Wu pretended to glare at her, but there was a smile in his eyes: "Please ask Zhiyi to embroider one for me. Zhiyi, would you like it? It will be very useful to you, sister!"

"Of course!" Zhiyi said without hesitation, "Don't worry, sister, your painting is simple and can be finished in two hours!"

Song Wu smiled and said, "This is a secret between Zhiyi and me. You must never tell anyone else!"

Zhiyi instantly took this matter extremely seriously.

Song Wu was watching Zhiyi choose embroidery thread when Sang Luo hurried over.

"Miss, the prince is here! He's waiting for you in Wutong Garden!"

Song Wu paused, "Ji Bozhou? What is he doing here?"

Sang Luo was a little anxious, "The prince didn't say anything, he just asked us to come and call you, it seems..."

"go!"

Before entering the yard, Song Wu saw a man from afar. He was dressed in brocade, standing seven feet tall, holding a folding fan with a landscape pattern in his hand. He had an elegance that ordinary women could not resist.

But Song Wu doesn't want to be an ordinary woman anymore.

"What do you want your prince to do?"

Ji Bozhou turned around, a cold smile appeared on his face, and his expression was gloomy and dark.

Song Wu immediately felt the rage beneath this man's elegant appearance.

"Oh!" Song Wu also smiled awkwardly, "How have I offended the prince?"

Ji Bozhou was so angry at her words. He had planned to leave after meeting Song Chuchu today, but halfway through, he couldn't suppress his anger.

He wanted to come back and see how long Song Wu would continue to behave recklessly!

He stood under the sycamore tree, dismissed everyone, and tapped his folding fan with his hand intermittently. His eyes followed her all the way into the yard, but there was no warmth in them.

"Can you tell me the reason? Why did I become the adopted daughter of the Duke of Anguo?" He tried his best to suppress his anger.

Song Wu thought he had misheard, "What do you mean, Your Highness? What is my relationship with the Duke of Anguo's Mansion? It's not Your Highness' turn to make the decision now, is it?"

“Wish!”

"Don't call me that!" Song Wu looked at him coldly. "I have already made it very clear to you, Prince. Please don't bother me anymore!"

"I'm pestering you?" Ji Bozhou laughed dryly. "Song Wu! You should know your temper's limits! Knowing that the Marquis' Mansion and the Xie family are on opposing sides, you still want to try to establish a relationship with the Anguo Mansion. What's your intention?!"

His voice rose a few notches, sounding a little gritted.

So that's why. Song Wu sneered, "That's what the prince meant. Your Marquis's Mansion is in conflict with the Duke's Mansion. What does it have to do with a peasant girl like me? I don't want to marry into your family, so can't I choose who to befriend?"

Song Wu really felt confused. So many days had passed and she thought the matter had been resolved long ago.

"You're still saying these things to irritate me!" Ji Bozhou looked anxious, his hands tightly clasping her shoulders. "Why are you so intolerant now? Did you read the letter I wrote to you before? Do you understand my painstaking efforts?!"

Song Wu broke free from his hands, "Painstaking efforts? Didn't the prince vent his anger enough over that letter? If not, go find someone else. I don't have time!"

Hearing this, Ji Bozhou felt relieved. He was indeed jealous.

"And you said you didn't lose your temper!"

He then said, "Don't have any contact with the Duke's Mansion from now on. I promise you what you asked for before!"

Song Wu thought for a moment, "Request? What is it?"

She couldn't remember, nor did she want to see this person in front of her, so she simply made a gesture of invitation, "Prince, please go back! Don't come again!"

This sentence shocked Ji Bozhou again.

In the past, they would always try to keep him for a few more hours, or even the entire Bo Mansion, but how could it be like today, where they would chase him away after just two sentences?

It seems that I really need to make it clear to her!

"Song Wu!" He shouted, "I wanted to say this before, Chuchu is your sister. She's suffered for you for so many years. You don't have to be nice to her. Can't you bribe her with a little bit of favor?! How can you be the Crown Prince's wife if you're like this?!"

"I think I've made it very clear to the prince nine days ago! I don't want to marry into your family, nor do I want the position of the prince's wife. Does the prince not understand what I'm saying?"

"Are you determined to do this?!" Ji Bozhou was truly furious. "Even if you don't become the Crown Prince's wife and become my enemy, do you think you'll have a good ending?!"

Seeing that this person still didn't leave, Song Wu could only call out again, "Xiao Kui!"

Xiao Kui couldn't help herself any longer and ran out in a flash: "Miss, you're looking for me!"

Song Wu: "Well, see you off!"

Xiao Kui looked at Ji Bozhou with a bad face, "Prince, please come in!"

Ji Bozhou clenched his fists, stared at Song Wu, and with a red face, he rushed out of the uncle's house like a gust of wind.

As soon as he left, Song Wu started burning incense in the four corners of the yard. She didn't want the smell of a treacherous man to linger here.

"Miss." Xiao Kui was helping her, but she was still worried. "Do you really not want to have anything to do with the prince?"

She thought of what the young lady had done for the prince: "The prince clearly cares about you today. He's trying to keep you. Isn't this what you've always longed for?"

"Silly girl!" Song Wu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Don't believe what others say. It's just a trick he used to manipulate me in the past! Have you ever seen anyone care about someone so much that they always put their own interests first and even interfere with who she associates with?"

She patted Xiao Kui, "He doesn't care about my joys and sorrows at all. He only cares about himself. How can he care about me? Besides, have you forgotten what I said about moving out? We really won't have anything to do with the prince anymore!"

Seeing Song Wu so clear-headed and determined, Xiao Kui felt relieved, and unconsciously, she began to admire Song Wu a little.

She raised her smiling face and said, "I will listen to you, young lady!"

Less than an hour after Ji Bozhou left, Sang Luo came back panting.

She took a big sip of tea, "Miss! I found out!"
