I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

"Hey, girl, you can't throw this away!"

Chunyu immediately picked up the imperial edict and wiped the snow off it.

The Marquis' Mansion was already the target of public criticism. If anyone knew that the young lady had thrown away the imperial edict, wouldn't that be...

Will the whole family be wiped out?

However, I am not afraid of my entire family being wiped out.

She is not afraid of dying with her daughter!

After carrying the imperial edict into the house, Chunyu casually threw it onto an empty space on the antique shelf.

"Young lady, shall I prepare some water for you to wash away your tiredness?"

"No need. We'll leave in seven days to provide disaster relief in Jiangnan. Please prepare some clothes for me."

She lay in bed, looking at the rooftops, wondering what would happen down the road.

"Just bring two sets of casual clothes, don't be too complicated."

In [Mudan Sha], her room has a washing machine and a dryer, so washing clothes along the way is not a problem.

She still had to prepare some food and drinks, just in case something went wrong on the way.

"Yes, don't worry, I will prepare it."

Chunyu nodded and went to prepare.

"As for food... bring some rice and noodles, as well as vegetables and meat."

Her refrigerator is empty and can store a lot of things.

"Yes."

After the spring rain left, Wen Qingzhi tossed and turned in bed, wanting to sleep but unable to.

It would be fine for her to go, but the house is full of women and there is no one to look after the child.

What if the enemy comes to cause trouble when she is not around?

What she was most worried about was Xiao Shitou, the only child of the Wen family. If something happened to him, she really didn't know how to explain it to Wen Qingzhi.

Thinking of this, she jumped up from the bed, looked around, changed into a ginger-colored dress, washed herself briefly, put on a new robe and went out.

She walked alone on the street without a maid and arrived at the gate of Zhentian Mansion.

"Please inform the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion that Wen Qingzhi requests to see the prefect."

When the man saw that it was Wen Qingzhi, he exclaimed "Ahhh" twice, turned around and ran inside.

Soon, Xiao Yi came out and tied the belt of his cloak.

"Azhi, you're here?"

He couldn't hide his joy on his face and invited Wen Qingzhi in.

On the way, Wen Qingzhi sighed, "Brother Xiao Yi, Ah Zhi came here this time to ask you for something."

She stopped and looked at Xiao Yi with a pleading look, "The emperor has ordered me and Lord Fang to go to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief. We will be leaving soon."

She let out a long sigh, "This trip to Jiangnan, the road ahead is unknown, the risks are unknown. I was the only one in the mansion before, and now I have my little nephew. I have concerns and I can't let go..."

"I would like to ask Brother Xiao Yi to take care of them after I leave, and not let them be bullied by others."

"I, I'm in the capital. I don't know anyone, and I don't have any close friends. I really can't think of anyone to entrust them to..."

As she spoke, she pretended to be cautious, and looked at Xiao Yi pitifully with her big eyes.

Catching a flash of heartache in his eyes, she pretended to smile strongly, "So, Brother Xiao Yi, I can only trouble you..."

She lowered her head embarrassedly, and at that moment, a crystal teardrop rolled down from the corner of her eye, which made me feel pity for her.

She choked and sobbed even harder, "Brother Xiao Yi, I have no other relatives, only you."

Wen Qingzhi felt sick when she said these words.

"Azhi, if you don't want to go, I'll go to the palace right now."

Xiao Yi spoke and comforted Wen Qingzhi.

Wen Qingzhi felt that Xiao Yi was a very conflicted person.

I wonder what his feelings are towards 'Wen Qingzhi'?

He seemed to be genuinely kind to Wen Qingzhi, but also genuinely using her.

The reason why I came to him was because I suspected that he was related to the murderer behind the scenes.

If they really had a relationship, then he would have tried his best to protect the mansion while he was away.

"Brother Xiao Yi, I can't not go just because I don't want to. If you stand up for me, it will only anger the emperor."

She lowered her head and leaned towards him gently. "I'm afraid... all this is the emperor's will. Apart from him, who else could have such great power?"

Her words were confusing, and generally speaking, no one would understand what she meant.

But Xiao Yi subconsciously asked: "What do you mean?"

In his arms, Wen Qingzhi suddenly opened her eyes, "I always feel that someone doesn't want me to live."

"Or rather, they don't want the people in the Marquis' Mansion to live..."

She rubbed against Xiao Yi's arms, as if she was leaning on him. "Brother Xiao Yi, I'm only telling you this."

Wen Qingzhi raised her head cautiously, her eyes red and her mouth pouting, "The Prince Regent is staying at my house, using everything from food and drink. He, he doesn't even pay me!"

"Since Master Chang was a guest at my house, he found some of my tricks interesting, so we became master and apprentice. He asked Master Chang to treat him, but he actually ate and lived in my house!"

"Also, I've noticed that since he arrived, there have been a lot of strange people in the house. It's like they're monitoring me..."

She frowned, her nose wrinkled. "So, I guess the Regent was sent by the Emperor to spy on us. I even suspect that my father and mother's death is related to—well!"

She didn't get the rest of the words out as Xiao Yi raised his hand to cover them up.

Xiao Yi stared into her sparkling eyes and shook his head secretly, "Azhi, just say this in front of your brother, don't say it in front of others."

Xiao Yi's narrow eyes were like ice, and carried a warning tone, "Azhi, let's not talk about royal affairs."

Wen Qingzhi nodded fearfully, and Xiao Yi finally let go of her mouth, his eyes softening again.

"Don't worry, Ah Zhi, I will protect the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion for you and wait for you to come back."

"You don't have to be afraid on the way. I'll let brothers Han Shuo and Han Yan go with you."

Xiao Yi raised his hand and touched her head. "I know your worries. I'll give you some more silver on the way. Don't let yourself get hurt."

"!!"

silver!

"Brother Xiao Yi, you are so kind to Azhi."

It's silver...

"Silly girl, if it's not good for you, who will be good for it?"

Xiao Yi smiled like a smiling tiger.

Wen Qingzhi showed an innocent look, "That's great!"

She was happily spinning around in circles, looking so innocent that it made people happy just by looking at her.

But this was not enough to make Xiao Yi believe it.

There have been so many rumors about her recently, so many that they are...bizarre.

"Brother Xiao Yi, have I been particularly impressive recently?"

She asked.

"what?"

Xiao Yi was puzzled and looked at her with a sly smile on her face in confusion.

Wen Qingzhi said, "Brother Xiao Yi, haven't you heard? I recently dealt with the Yuan family!"

"Humph! I've been lying there for so long, and I finally stand up!"

She spread her hands, her face full of anticipation, hoping to be praised.

Xiao Yi was confused by her. He didn't know what Wen Qingzhi meant.

Wen Qingzhi stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "That's right, I've been letting the Yuan family suffer recently! They've been bullying me for so many years, it's time for me to bully them!"

"Besides, I've been taking care of the Baili family's affairs recently! Haven't you heard?"

She said viciously, "That Baili Xuance is a complete beast! He treated his wife so badly and didn't even help her when she was about to give birth!"

"Luckily, he met me and Chang Baicao was there, otherwise, there would have been two deaths!"

She spat, venting her dissatisfaction, "If Brother Xiao Yi were here, he would definitely hit him! I've never seen such a shameless person!"

"Azhi, you are like this..."

Xiao Yi suddenly didn't know what to say to her.

Rumors have been spreading recently, and he has begun to doubt how much Wen Qingzhi knows.

But judging from her several reckless actions, she doesn't seem as smart as she thought.

Otherwise, how can we avoid misfortune and seek good fortune?

"Brother Xiao Yi, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yi shook his head. "Nothing, just don't be so reckless next time. What should I do if something goes wrong?"

"So what? With Brother Xiao Yi here, I'm not afraid of anything!"

She puffed out her chest, and her smug look was quite amusing.

Xiao Yi was amused by her, "You!"

"But this isn't a bad thing! I helped Madam Baili, and she accepted me as her adopted sister!"
