Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

"My lord, this...this might be a misunderstanding, a mishearing. We all see the madam's feelings for you. You...you might as well ask the madam..."

Jun Yanchen also thought about it, but what if...?

If Nan Nan truly doesn't want to spend the rest of her life with him, and therefore doesn't want his child,

If he heard such words from Nan Nan, he would go crazy...

"Cangling, leave a message for the lady; she needs to leave for a few days."

He wanted to calm himself down...

Cang Ling could not disobey her master's decision. Well, perhaps her master was just too heartbroken and wanted to calm down.

And so, because of a single sentence left unsaid, Jun Yanchen's mind was in turmoil, filled with endless imagination, and Gu Nanzhi waited for him at home for dinner, but he never showed up.

All I got in return was, "I need to leave for a few days."

Suddenly disappearing without a trace, Gu Nanzhi was filled with doubt, and stared at Cang Ling with a probing gaze.

Why didn't you come with me?

This left Cang Ling speechless. He also wanted to go, but his master had driven him away, forbidding him from coming. The main reason was that his master didn't actually have anything important to do; he was just running away, somewhere to secretly lick his wounds...

He's still here worrying about his master's safety...

However, his master wouldn't allow his wife to know. With his wife's gaze as sharp as his master's, the time for his test had arrived.

"Master...Master has ordered me to stay behind to protect Madam's safety."

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi revealed a look of disapproval.

“Those guys in the capital haven’t given up on Jun Yanchen yet. His travels are the most dangerous. If you don’t follow him, what will happen if you encounter an assassination attempt?”

I am capable of protecting myself, and I also have Leng Yun, Leng Yue, and so many others..."

These words were irrefutable, but he dared not disobey his master's orders.

"Please rest assured, Madam. I have already instructed the Shadow Guards to follow. Now that Master's skills have recovered, there are few in this world who can harm him."

Gu Nanzhi remained silent, waving her hand with some disinterest.

"Let's eat!"

When that person suddenly disappears, the food doesn't seem to taste as good anymore.

After finishing her meal, Gu Nanzhi returned to her room. Everyone noticed the subtle changes in Gu Nanzhi. The oblivious butler and others were still marveling at how inseparable the mistress and mistress were, and now, after only half a day apart, the mistress already missed her…

Only Bai Zang and Cang Ling were filled with sorrow.

"Cangling, did Master really have something to do and leave?"

Cang Ling glanced at him expressionlessly, the meaning of which was self-evident.

The two sighed in unison, wondering how their master could have suddenly encountered such a problem...

Alas, they don't understand matters of the heart. If only Doctor He or Young Master Yunzhi were here, they would surely have a solution...

"Bai Zang, our master is heartbroken this time. Why don't we try to help him? Madam and master have such a good relationship, how could she have such thoughts? There must be some misunderstanding."

"On one side is the master, and on the other is the teacher. Moreover, as men and subordinates, how can we ask the madam about this matter?"

"But I can't just watch my master torture me..."

"Ugh......."

The two emotionally clueless individuals spent the entire night discussing the matter but couldn't come up with a solution. However, the next day, they both looked at Gu Nanzhi with a strange expression.

Unfortunately, the people involved didn't pay attention to them, so they weren't particularly concerned about their unusual behavior.

Moreover, Gu Nanzhi was still listless and looked unwell when she woke up this morning. Indeed, she had suffered from insomnia last night.

The reason for his insomnia was actually Jun Yanchen, who left after saying just one sentence.

Yes, without even realizing it, she had grown accustomed to Jun Yanchen's presence, accustomed to him lying beside her—something she hadn't even expected.

Even though it had only been one night, she had to admit that she had truly gotten used to having him in her life.

Realizing this fact, she was reluctant to admit it, so her brows were furrowed with irritation early in the morning.

The rest of the family saw all of this and even assumed that the reason for the lady's bad mood was that her master was away and she missed him.

They were all secretly quite happy...

Feeling restless and lacking energy, Gu Nanzhi readily agreed when Xu Qingning asked her to go shopping.

No, she can't let herself get caught up in romantic feelings. She must have been too tired last night and didn't get enough rest. She can't be love-struck; love-struck people die young.

She needed to find something else to keep herself occupied. Gu Nanzhi now had both skills and money; she could do whatever she wanted.

We can't just spend our days thinking about romance and love...

"Okay, let's go shopping. I'll pay for everything today."

After figuring it out, Gu Nanzhi casually put her arm around Xu Qingning's shoulder, acting incredibly domineering.

This amused Xu Qingning.

Sister Nam-zhi is so interesting!

"Sister Nanzhi, if that's how you put it, then I won't hold back."

"Don't be shy, let's go, we've got plenty of money."

Originally, no matter how lively Xu Qingning was, she was still a young lady from a wealthy family, and every smile and gesture of hers exuded the elegance of a noblewoman.

Now, Gu Nanzhi has also made him even more unconventional.

Just like now,

The two walked arm in arm toward the door, causing Xia He and Xiao Tao, who were following behind, to shake their heads and chuckle. Their young lady was just too unrestrained...

The two boarded Xu Qingning's carriage and headed towards the most bustling street in the city.

Gu Nanzhi, who was pretending to fill her time with other things, and Xu Qingning, who was already used to shopping, were about to get together and things would get out of control.

They seemed poised to stroll from one end of the street to the other.

"Sister Nanzhi, come on, let's go check out this shop. Their clothes have trendy designs and are well-made. Let's go take a look!"

"Okay, let's go."

The two were well-dressed and had excellent manners. As soon as they entered the store, they were treated as VIPs and given a long introduction.

In the end, the two of them insisted on buying two nice dresses each at the store. And that wasn't enough; Gu Nanzhi also generously bought one for Xia He and one for Xiao Tao.

Moreover, she said she would pay the bill today, and that meant it, no matter how much Xu Qingning or Xiao Tao refused.

After browsing the clothing store, we naturally arrived at the jewelry store.

However, Xu Qingning realized at this moment that Gu Nanzhi wasn't joking when she said she would pay for everything today. Realizing she couldn't take advantage of her, she decided to just browse around casually and avoid making Gu Nanzhi spend any more money.

But Gu Nanzhi insisted on taking a good look around.
