After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

"Madam, you have misunderstood. Bai Wei and I are only here to give the princess some things!" Aunt Qu explained.

Shui Shiyu then looked at a handkerchief with beautiful embroidery placed on the table. There was a large hibiscus flower embroidered on the handkerchief.

Shui Shiyu picked up the handkerchief and threw it directly on the ground. "Is there no embroiderer in the mansion? You are a concubine and you have to embroider things for the princess? You have bad intentions!"

When these words were spoken, Aunt Qu's face turned red with shame. She came to Yongfu Court today because she had recently embroidered a square handkerchief as a gift to the princess, thanking her for taking care of her and her two children.

On weekdays, Quyuan and Jingyuan had almost no contact. In all the years that Concubine Qu had been in the mansion, she had never seen the lady make things difficult for her like this.

"Aunt Qu is kind-hearted. She embroiders handkerchiefs and clothes for her daughter every year. But my mother seems to have never embroidered a single stitch for her daughter!" Zhu Qing'an said, bending down to pick up the handkerchief on the ground.

When she was little, even her aunt had embroidered clothes for Zhu Qingan, a token of her love for her. Zhu Qingan knew her mother was skilled in embroidery, and she had once begged her mother to embroider a sachet for her. Unfortunately, her request only drew a swearing scold from her mother, and she never mentioned it again.

"Are you blaming me?" Shui Shiyu didn't expect her daughter to refute her like this, especially in front of Aunt Qu, and she immediately felt humiliated.

"How dare I blame my mother? It's just that my mother didn't want to embroider anything for me, but my aunt was willing to do it. My aunt is kind-hearted, so I naturally appreciate it!" Zhu Qing'an said, folding the handkerchief and putting it in her sleeve, looking as if she was cherishing it.

Shui Shiyu was shivering, considering that Aunt Qu and her daughter were still there, and he didn't want to be laughed at by outsiders.

"You guys go back first. Don't come to the princess unless necessary. Remember your duties!" Shui Shiyu knocked on Aunt Qu and her daughter.

Aunt Qu quickly agreed, bowed, and left with her daughter.

"Aunt, my elder sister won't be scolded, right?" Zhu Baiwei looked back frequently, but unfortunately she could see nothing.

Aunt Qu held her daughter's wrist and sighed realistically, "Over the years, Madam has neglected the princess so much that it has finally chilled her heart. But I believe the princess will not suffer any loss now. As for you and Yiqing, the princess has been kind and taken care of you. You must repay the princess well. If it weren't for the princess, the three of us, mother and son, would have died long ago!"

"Oh, I don't know how many times my aunt has said this, I have remembered it in my heart! I know that my eldest sister is very good to us. Now even my father is willing to come and visit my aunt because of my eldest sister!" Zhu Baiwei was a little happy.

When thinking of Marquis Wen'an, there was no trace of complacency or joy on Aunt Qu's face. Over the years, she had seen through everything and no longer hoped for love. She only hoped that her two children would be safe and healthy.

Seeing Aunt Qu and her daughter leave, Shui Shiyu directly shouted at his daughter beside him, "Kneel down!"

When these words were spoken, the maids who were waiting on the side were shocked and at a loss what to do. Fu Guang waved to the maids and asked the outsiders to leave.

"I wonder what my daughter has done wrong that she has to kneel?" Zhu Qing sat calmly on the stone chair covered with soft cushions, without any fear.

"Stop pretending to be confused. It was you who did what happened to the Yang Mansion, right? Let me tell you, Brother Yu and I are innocent. We only helped the Yang Mansion over the years because we saw that it was in trouble. Your father also knows about this. But you, a junior, actually brought people to ask for money and moved away most of the valuables in the Yang Mansion. You are simply a traitor!" Shui Shiyu scolded.

After hearing what his mother said, Zhu Qing'an was so angry that he laughed so hard that his waist bent over.

"Mother, you might as well listen to this. Every word you say is to protect an outsider. Nowadays, even children know to avoid suspicion, but you are so eager to pay for it! I don't have relatives like the Yang family in the Wen'an Marquis Mansion. The money I paid over the years must be repaid. As for the money that the Yang family still can't pay back, for your sake, I can also be merciful and let it go!" Zhu Qing'an said in a serious voice.

She knew that her mother was confused, but she didn't know that her mother was so shameless. When something like this happened, she was not nervous or afraid, but came to her to argue with her righteously.

"Asshole! Who gave you the guts to do this?! I'm telling you, return the money and personally go to the Yang residence to apologize! Otherwise..."

"How about otherwise?"

I saw a handsome figure standing at the gate of Yongfu Courtyard. It was Yang Heng, the Marquis of Wen'an, who had just returned from the government office.

Yang Heng was wearing a dark red official robe, an official hat on his head, a white jade hanging around his waist, and a hint of anger on his face. It was unknown how long he had been listening.

Seeing his father, Zhu Qing'an stood up and saluted, his expression showing just the right amount of grievance.

Shui Shiyu saw the person coming, but he didn't move at all, and didn't even look guilty.

"Zhu Heng, look at what your good daughter has done. You agreed to this matter back then. Why, do you want to go back on your word now?" Shui Shiyu asked loudly.

Zhu Heng heard everything from outside. His wife was pregnant at the time, and when he learned that she was supporting the Yang family, he was naturally angry as a man.

But his wife threatened him with the child in her belly, and he compromised for the sake of their child. For so many years, he turned a blind eye to it, but he didn't expect that the matter would now be known by his daughter.

"Father, please take a look at the accounts first!" Zhu Qing'an took the account book from Fu Guang and handed it to his father. It already clearly stated how much public funds his mother took every month every year to support the Yang family.

When Zhu Heng took a look, he was shocked.

Zhu Heng did know that his wife was helping the Yang family, and to avoid worsening their relationship, he had agreed. He had also heard the housekeeper mention his wife's large expenses, but Zhu Heng had always felt that the Wen'an Marquis's mansion was wealthy and that such a small amount of expenses was not a big deal. He had no idea that such a large amount of expenses could be incurred.

The amount of aid the lady gives to the Yang family every month is more than the expenses of the Marquis Wen'an's mansion. How ironic.

"Madam, don't you have any explanation?" Zhu Heng pinched the account book, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed because of the force. Even so, Zhu Heng tried his best to control his voice.

Shui Shiyu didn't expect Zhu Heng to have this attitude. She thought of the huge amount of silver, and a guilty look flashed in her eyes.

But he still held his chest high. "Explain? What do I need to explain? You agreed to this matter, so why are you going back on your word now?"

"Even now, you are still so stubborn!" Zhu Heng slammed the account book on the table, scaring Shui Shiyu.

"What kind of life does the Yang family live that they need such support? I'm afraid it would be more luxurious than the Marquis Wen'an Mansion! I helped the Yang family at your request, but it doesn't mean you can be so extravagant and treat me like a fool!" Zhu Heng asked loudly.

"It's just some silver. Life in the mansion goes on as usual! If it weren't for you, how could Brother Yu and I miss each other? What's more, Brother Yu and I are innocent. This is what you, Zhu Heng, owe us!" Shui Shiyu still didn't realize his mistake.
