The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Shen Qionghua paused and clenched her hands quietly under her sky-blue sleeves.

She turned her head to meet Zhou Jinlin's gaze and asked in surprise, "Sir, are you saying that Miss Wu has left the Marquis' Mansion?"

Zhou Jinlin raised his eyebrows when he heard her surprised tone, but remained silent.

Shen Qionghua smiled slightly, "I have never had much contact with Miss Wu, so I haven't paid attention to her whereabouts."

"You don't care about her, but she cares about you very much." Zhou Jinlin said, staring at Shen Qionghua's face with his peach blossom eyes.

Shen Qionghua instantly thought of the reason why Wu Minke had to die - she knew that the Marquis' Mansion was plotting against the Shen family.

So Zhou Jinlin is testing himself?

Thinking of this, Shen Qionghua frowned slightly, her face full of confusion, "Why do you say that, my lord? I've only met Miss Wu a few times, why do you care about this?"

Zhou Jinlin narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he saw that Shen Qionghua's expression did not seem fake, he relaxed a little, but the scrutiny in his eyes did not disappear.

"By the way, I wonder where Miss Wu went after leaving the Marquis' Mansion?" Shen Qionghua asked.

Zhou Jinlin raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Shen Qionghua with interest, "Her family arranged a marriage for her, so she went back to get married."

Shen Qionghua's eyes widened when she heard this. She looked at Zhou Jinlin in disbelief.

"Get married? But, but you are not..."

Seeing her reaction like this, Zhou Jinlin stopped scrutinizing her. His eyes were full of teasing and he said playfully, "Nothing?"

Shen Qionghua seemed unable to speak, her face flushed, and she could only stammer, "I have something else to do... I'll leave first... Please do as you please, Prince..."

As he said this, he hurried towards Yunmengxuan with Peony and Licorice. His back looked like he was fleeing in panic.

Zhou Jinlin looked at the beautiful figure that was gradually moving away, and a feeling of regret welled up in his heart.

It's a pity that Shen Qionghua can't be touched now, but...

That's what makes it interesting, isn't it?

Zhou Jinlin licked the corner of his lips, and felt the excitement of entering Wu Minke's yard as if he were in an empty space coming back to him.

On the other side, Shen Qionghua left Zhou Jinlin's sight and her face immediately drooped. All the shyness and shock disappeared, and she only felt extremely disgusted.

She naturally knew what the interest in Zhou Jinlin's eyes meant.

Shaoyao said anxiously, "Miss, the prince..."

"fine."

As long as Xie Qian'an didn't get the Shen family's property, they wouldn't dare to do anything to him openly.

Shen Qionghua returned to her room and drank a whole glass of water in one breath to suppress the nausea.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the maidservant below came to report that Zhou Lingyi had arrived.

Shen Qionghua's eyes flashed, and he sneered in his heart.

"Let the second young lady in quickly."

Soon, Zhou Lingyi, wearing a goose yellow skirt, walked in.

"Cousin, how was your visit to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion today? Did Princess Pingning give you any trouble?" Zhou Lingyi said with concern while holding Shen Qionghua's hand.

After Lin's persuasion, Zhou Lingyi resumed his previous intimacy with Shen Qionghua.

Her mother was right. The grievances she suffered now were nothing. When His Highness became emperor, she would be the empress.

A hairpin does not mean anything. When His Highness ascends the throne, the Yongning Marquisate will be the greatest contributor. With my aunt around, the position of the mother of the country belongs to me.

She shouldn't have made a fuss at this time and ruined His Highness's business, but instead hurt the relationship between herself and His Highness.

"The Princess of Pingning County is very nice and treats me very well. The princess said that from now on we will be friends and she will come to see me often." Shen Qionghua said.

She already knew that Zhou Lingyi was here to gather information, so she could use the title of Princess Pingning as a banner.

Zhou Lingyi's face changed when he heard this.

How could this be?

Everyone in the capital knew that Princess Pingning was difficult to approach and that she did not get along with Princess Anle. As a result, those who were close to Princess Anle could not get her favor.

Even if she made any mistakes in her daily life, she would be ridiculed by Princess Pingning.

Shen Qionghua was just the daughter of a merchant, and she lived in a marquis's mansion, yet Princess Pingning actually said she wanted to be friends with her.

I just pulled Princess Pingning out of the water, but her attitude changed so much.

She thought that Princess Pingning sent an invitation to Shen Qionghua to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion just to save face, and Shen Qionghua would definitely be neglected if she went there.

Zhou Lingyi found a clue in his confused mind.

We must not allow Shen Qionghua and Princess Pingning to get too close, otherwise it might ruin His Highness's plans.

Zhou Lingyi spoke with some difficulty, "Cousin, you may not know this, but Princess Pingning has always been hostile to Princess Anle and the people of the Yongning Marquisate. Now, because you've helped her, she wants to be your friend in order to silence the public. I'm afraid that if this continues, cousin, you'll suffer."

"Princess Pingning is of noble status. If she wants to make things difficult for someone, she will come up with all sorts of tricks. It would be best for my cousin to have less contact with Princess Pingning."

She looked like she wanted the best for Shen Qionghua. If Shen Qionghua didn't know the inside story, she would probably believe that she was a good sister who always thought about her.

Shen Qionghua raised her eyebrows, looked at Zhou Lingyi with a smile, and slightly opened her red lips.

"Cousin, what you mean is that Princess Pingning is hostile to the Marquis' Mansion and asked me to have less contact with Princess Pingning. Will Princess Pingning bully me?"

Before Zhou Lingyi could nod, Shen Qionghua said, "But I'm not from the Yongning Marquisate. I can move out at any time. I saved Princess Pingning's life, so there's no reason for her to do this."

The indifferent tone made Zhou Lingyi's words stuck in his throat.

What is this nonsense?

She has lived in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion for so long, so why isn't she considered a member of the mansion?

If Princess Pingning minded her living in the Marquis' Mansion, would she have to move out for Princess Pingning?!

Zhou Lingyi was just thinking about how to persuade her again when he heard Shen Qionghua say, "What's more, if Princess Pingning invites me, how can I not go?"

"If I don't go, won't I offend Princess Pingning even more?"

It’s okay to offend, but just don’t have any contact with Princess Pingning.

Zhou Lingyi was just thinking about how to tell Shen Qionghua when he saw Shen Qionghua turn around and look at him, her eyes shining like stars and her face full of sudden enlightenment.

"How about this, cousin? Next time Princess Pingning's people post something, you can write a reply for me in your name."

"This way I can listen to you and have less contact with Princess Pingning, and I won't have to offend her."

After Shen Qionghua finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Lingyi expectantly, as if she really thought this was a good idea.

Zhou Lingyi's expression froze, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he almost vomited blood.

Yes, in this way Shen Qionghua will not offend Princess Anle, but what about her?

Zhou Lingyi looked at Shen Qionghua suspiciously, she suspected that she was playing dumb.

But the other person looked at him expectantly.

Seeing Zhou Lingyi didn't say anything, a hint of mockery flashed in Shen Qionghua's eyes.

"Since my cousin doesn't want to, then forget it. If Princess Pingning invites me next time, I will still have to accept it."

"It's better to be wronged than to be targeted from the beginning. Cousin, do you think I'm right?"

Zhou Lingyi: “…”
