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

"Grandfather! Grandma! Uncle and aunt, take care!" Zhu Qing'an stood outside the carriage, folded his hands above his head, and bowed.

Madam Shui wiped away her tears and said a thousand words, but in the end, she only said one sentence: "Come to Lingzhou when you are free! We will take your instructions to heart!"

Zhu Qing'an nodded. She asked her two uncles to help find a skilled doctor because she was worried about her aunt's health. Her two uncles knew more people than she did.

With Fu Guang's support, he got on the carriage amidst everyone's reluctant gazes, and Shui Tingfeng also followed him into the carriage.

"You little brat!" Second uncle Shui Zheng stopped his son and warned him, "Ancheng is not like Lingzhou. Think twice before you act and don't cause trouble for Qing'an! And..." Shui Zheng glanced at Shui Shiyu and Yang Chaoyan who were standing outside another carriage. The meaning was self-evident.

Shui Tingfeng also put away his usual nonchalant attitude and nodded, "Don't worry, father!"

After saying that, Shui Tingfeng got into the carriage. He knew very well that his family asked him to follow his cousin to Ancheng this time not only to broaden his horizons and expand his horizons, but more importantly to keep an eye on his aunt and prevent her from causing trouble.

Before leaving, his grandfather had told him that if his aunt was really stubborn, he didn't need to help her and let her fend for herself.

Shui Shiyu looked at his family. After seeing Zhu Qingan get on the carriage, his expression was still reluctant, but he did not say a word to himself.

"Madam, you should say a few soft words to the old master and the old lady. They love you the most!" Aunt Banxia advised.

Shui Shiyu twisted the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and wanted to go forward, but was embarrassed.

But before Shui Shiyu could think it over, he saw that the family members at the door of Shui Mansion had already returned home and even closed the door.

"This..." Aunt Banxia was so shocked by this scene that she didn't know what to do. She couldn't even say a word of comfort.

After all, these days, she had gone back to her parents' home with the lady, and the lady not only came back empty-handed, but also spoke coldly to everyone in the Water Mansion every day, implicitly and implicitly holding a grudge against the Water Mansion for forcing her to marry off.

"Forget it! They have been snobbish and rich-loving for a long time. Now they just see that Zhu Qing'an is more powerful than my daughter and want to curry favor with her! I don't care!" Shui Shiyu said, holding Yang Chaoyan's hand and getting on the carriage.

If someone didn't know the situation, after hearing Shui Shiyu's words, they would really think that Shui Fu was a despicable person.

But Yang Chaoyan calmly withdrew her hand. She had eyes, and during her stay in the Water Mansion for some time, she could see that everyone in the Water Mansion was polite, kind and upright, which was completely different from what the Marquis's wife said.

However, Yang Chaoyan knew that she was a child of the Yang family, and the Yang family and the Shui family were irreconcilable rivals in Lingzhou, so she naturally would not get close to them, even though she admired the Shui family very much.

"Chao Yan, you see, my family and my parents are so realistic. Back then, they were the ones who forced me to marry into the Marquis's Mansion. If they hadn't forced me, your father and I..." Shui Shiyu spoke to herself, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

Aunt Banxia wanted to persuade her, but she couldn't. How could she mention these words in front of Yang Chaoyan?

Yang Chaoyan just listened silently. During these days, the marquis's wife had told her countless stories about her and her father.

In Mrs. Hou's words, she and her father were a pair of separated mandarin ducks, and were miserable people who had wasted half their lives.

But Yang Chaoyan only glanced at the marquis's delicate hands, her eyes filled with irony. The two of them, one the beloved marquis's wife, the other a wealthy businessman who spent his days in luxury, drinking, and having fun, truly hadn't suffered a single bit compared to the many miserable people in this world.

What's more, Yang Chaoyan couldn't help but think of her mother, that poor woman.

If it weren't for the Marquis' wife and her father, how could her mother have committed suicide out of despair?

"Madam promised Chaoyan that after Chaoyan follows you to Ancheng and stays there for some time, she will give me the Nine Yang Holy Fruit!" Yang Chaoyan reminded.

Although she is the legitimate daughter of the Yang family, she has been practicing medicine with her master over the years. She is a famous female doctor, and it was unexpected that she saved the Marquis's wife.

Later, the Marquis' wife kept her by her side as her savior, and even persuaded her to go to Ancheng with her. Yang Chaoyan was originally unwilling to do so.

But later, she accepted the offer because the Marquis' wife had the Nine Yang Sacred Fruit she had always needed. Furthermore, she also wanted to see how happy the peerless Princess Yongfu was. Unlike herself, she hadn't experienced any fatherly love in all these years.

"Of course! You, kid, have suffered too much over the years, and your temperament has become cold and lonely! But it doesn't matter, I will take care of you in the future and will never let you suffer again!" Shui Shiyu patted Yang Chaoyan's shoulder, his tone full of pity.

Yang Chaoyan lowered her brows and did not answer, but she couldn't help but think of the carriage in front.

If Princess Yongfu heard what the Marquis' wife said, what would she feel? Angry? Furious? Or disappointed?

Everyone stopped and walked on the road, and Zhu Qing'an and his mother Yang Chaoyan had almost no conversation. They looked like a team of carriages and horses, but in fact they were more unfamiliar than strangers.

After walking for several days, everyone finally returned to Ancheng.

"But are the Madam and the Princess back?" A voice came from outside the carriage at the gate of Marquis Wen'an's mansion. Zhu Qing'an lifted the curtain and saw Aunt Qu and Zhu Baiwei, mother and daughter, standing at the gate of the mansion.

When the two saw Zhu Qing'an, their eyes sparkled with excitement.

Compared to Aunt Qu's relatively restrained greeting, Zhu Baiwei came closer and said, "Eldest sister, you're back!"

Zhu Baiwei was wearing a green dress, had a thin figure and a pretty face, with a look of shyness and excitement on her soft face.

But as soon as she approached the carriage, she was frightened by the sudden appearance of a man. She stepped back in fear and the smile on her face disappeared completely.

"Second cousin, you scared my second sister!" Zhu Qing'an stepped on a low stool and got off the carriage.

Shui Tingfeng followed him down from the carriage. His peach blossom eyes were full of tenderness, as if one look at him would make people fall in love with him. His collar, embroidered with patterns, revealed his fair collarbone.

"Second cousin, it's Tingfeng's fault. I scared my little cousin!" Shui Tingfeng bowed and apologized.

Zhu Baiwei then realized that this man was her eldest sister's cousin. Logically, she should call him cousin, but she was a concubine's daughter after all, so she naturally didn't dare to marry someone of higher status.

With a slight bow, "Second Master Shui is in serious trouble!"

Zhu Baiwei hurried to her elder sister and took her cousin's arm.

Shui Tingfeng took a look and touched the tip of his nose. Why did he feel that this noble lady from the Ancheng family was so timid? She was not ugly after all.

At this time, Shui Shiyu took Yang Chaoyan's hand and slowly got off the carriage.

Shui Shiyu glanced at the gate of the mansion, but did not see Marquis Wen'an coming to greet him in person. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

When he looked again, he saw that it was Concubine Qu standing at the door of the mansion, and his face became even uglier.

"Greetings, Madam!" Aunt Qu bowed respectfully and then hurried forward. "Madam, you have worked hard on your journey. Everything has been prepared in the mansion!"

Aunt Qu glanced at the girl next to the Marquis's wife again and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Why? There is no one in the Marquis' Mansion, so they let you, a concubine, show up in public!" Shui Shiyu pushed Aunt Qu away with an unhappy look on her face.

Aunt Qu's face turned pale. Zhu Baiwei, who was standing next to Zhu Qing'an, also pursed her lips, looking a little at a loss. However, Zhu Qing'an gave Zhu Baiwei a comforting look.

Zhu Baiwei quickly calmed down and said softly, "Father is busy today, so I asked my daughter and aunt to come and greet the lady!"

Hearing that all this was actually the idea of ​​Marquis Wen'an, Shui Shiyu snorted coldly. She glanced at Concubine Qu and her daughter. It was not difficult to see that Concubine Qu's clothes were of novel style and exquisite fabrics, and the hairpin on Zhu Baiwei's head was even more expensive and exquisite. They were completely different from their previous selves and had a bit more noble air.

Shui Shiyu has been spoiled since she was a child and is the most beautiful woman in Lingzhou. After marrying Marquis Wen'an, her husband always dotes on her no matter how much she behaves, which makes her more arrogant.

Once upon a time, although Concubine Qu in the mansion was a concubine, she was as timid as a quail, hiding in the Qu Garden all day long and nowhere to be seen. Even if she was seen, she would just lower her head and look submissive, wearing plain clothes, and not appear to be presentable.

But now, Shui Shiyu discovered that Concubine Qu was so pretty and charming, and that dressing up could actually take away some of his glory. He felt as if he had eaten a greasy cake and felt uncomfortable.

"What? I've just been away from home for a while, and you and your daughter have learned to compete for favor? Despicable things! You're the only ones who can't wait to get close to Zhu Heng! Do you really think he's such a popular guy?" Shui Shiyu said disdainfully.

Aunt Qu lowered her head and said nothing, her expression showing no displeasure, while Zhu Qing'an did not offer any words to help despite hearing her mother's scolding.

It was simply because she saw Butler Mai standing at the door of the mansion, and she was sure that her mother's words would soon reach her father's ears.

"I dare not!" Aunt Qu said respectfully.

Shui Shiyu suddenly felt bored. Over the years, Aunt Qu had always been so cautious.

"This is Miss Yang, my savior. Everyone in the house must serve her well!" Shui Shiyu ordered, holding Yang Chaoyan's hand.

Everyone agreed, and Shui Shiyu was satisfied, holding Yang Chaoyan's hand and entering the Hou Mansion. As for her biological daughter, she never said a word, and even because of the attitude of everyone in the Shui Mansion, she didn't care about her nephew who came to visit.

Fortunately, no one cared about Shui Shiyu's attitude.

Zhu Qing'an personally sent his second cousin to the guest room. Because the letter had been sent back home in advance, Aunt Qu took good care of everything.

When Zhu Qing'an was about to return to Yongfu Courtyard from the guest room, her second sister Zhu Baiwei came over. After a moment's hesitation, she spoke, "Eldest sister, the housekeeper said that Madam arranged for Miss Yang to stay in Jingyuan! Although she is Madam's savior, there are so many guest rooms in the mansion. Isn't it inappropriate for her to stay in Jingyuan?"

What Zhu Baiwei didn't say was that as soon as the lady returned to Jingyuan, she asked the housekeeper to send countless good things, all of which were for her daughter's household. The intimacy was too much.

"Let her go, and don't make enemies with Miss Yang!" Zhu Qing'an instructed.

Given how much her mother cares about Yang Chaoyan now, she is afraid that her second sister will be wronged if Zhu Baiwei and Yang Chaoyan have any conflict.

Zhu Baiwei was puzzled, but she was always obedient and secretly made a note to stay away from Miss Yang. However, she couldn't help but feel a little curious. She had never seen the Madam so attentive to anyone before. Compared to her elder sister, that girl seemed more like the Madam's daughter.

Zhu Baiwei's eyes darkened and she gently shook her elder sister's hand.

As night fell, Wen Anhou returned to the mansion. The first thing he did after entering the mansion was to ask his first wife, "Madam and Qing An are back? Did everything go well on the journey?"

"Don't worry, my lord. Madam and the princess are back. The young master from the Shui Mansion has also arrived and has been put to rest by Concubine Qu. It's just..." Butler Mai hesitated.

Zhu Heng paused as he was walking towards Jingyuan and glanced at the housekeeper.

"But the lady also brought a girl back home, and now she is staying in Jingyuan. That girl once saved the lady!" Butler Mai reported.

"Madam is kind-hearted, so this is the way it should be! You should ask everyone in the mansion to treat us well!" Zhu Heng said as he continued walking towards Jingyuan.

But Butler Mai continued behind him, "But, that girl is Yang Yu's daughter!"

This sentence froze the smile on Zhu Heng's face. He stood up and turned to look at the housekeeper. "You said that the girl the madam brought back is Yang Yu's daughter?"

No one remembered Yang Yu better than Zhu Heng. It was this person who stood between the couple for many years, causing discord between them and the mother and daughter.

Butler Mai nodded. He didn't know the identity of Miss Yang at first. It was Miss Fu Guang who was by the princess's side who told him.

"Madam not only arranged people in Jingyuan, but also took a lot of things from the warehouse, and even used the princess's jewelry!" Butler Mai's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

Zhu Heng felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head, dampening his anticipation.

These days, he was thinking about his wife, thinking that since she had been back to her parents' home for so long, she should have figured out some things. If his wife was willing to let go of the past, it would be great if their family could live in harmony and happiness.

But he didn't expect that he was the only one who was being sentimental from the beginning to the end.

"My Lord, what are you doing?" Butler Mai saw Marquis Wen An turn around and immediately followed him to ask.

"I'm going to Qu Garden to sit for a while! As for Jing Garden, as long as she doesn't hurt Qing An, let her go!" Wen Anhou said, no longer willing to talk more.

Butler Mai nodded repeatedly, and then told him what happened at the gate of the mansion today.

When Wen Anhou heard this, his face was full of sneers. It was obvious that she didn't love him and looked down on him. She even brought her lover's daughter back to the mansion, but looked down on and suppressed other people in the mansion.

How come he didn't realize before that the person next to him was so hypocritical?

"The affairs of the mansion will still be managed by Madam Qu!" Marquis Wen'an said as he entered Qu Garden.

Butler Mai looked at the plaque of the Quyuan courtyard and suddenly had a guess in his mind. It seemed that this concubine Qu would be favored from now on.

As for the one in Jingyuan, after so many years, he finally disappointed the Marquis.
