"I can't tell whether she's sincere or not, how much of it is genuine or fake."

Cheng Yan also said he didn't understand Wang Xianrong.

Sometimes it seems that Wang Xianrong is indeed infatuated with him, but it is hard to believe that she so quickly abandoned her relationship with Xie Qu and fell in love with someone else.

Is it so easy to change one's heart when one loves another person?

His love for his wife has remained steadfast and unchanged from the past to the present.

Many things happened in between. She was resistant to him before, unwilling to see him or talk to him, but he never thought of giving up.

Moreover, Xie Qu never gave up on this marriage; he just hoped she would wait for him.

If she wasn't willing to wait, it wouldn't be fair to blame her, since everyone has their own choices. But she immediately fell in love with another man, and was even willing to become his concubine...

This sounds utterly absurd.

If she truly cares about relationships, what's wrong with waiting? As long as they are both sincere, they will eventually see the light at the end of the tunnel.

If it's not about feelings but about profit, why act like you're ready to die for love?

Cheng Yan said, "You don't need to delve into what she's thinking. You just need to know that she wore that white flower for Xie Qu, not for me. Don't take it to heart. Also, just make her leave the Pingxi Marquis's residence."

After hearing his explanation, Qin Yizhen wasn't so angry anymore, but she still felt uncomfortable.

"No matter what, she is still your concubine for now. I will not hold it against her today, but she is not allowed to wear it again in the future."

"Just have someone go and tell them," Cheng Yan nodded. These were all minor matters.

"But you should also take this matter seriously. How did you bring her in in the first place? Now you need to find a way to get her out of here, so I don't get angry every time I see her."

Qin Yizhen actually hesitated about this.

Cheng Yan noticed and frowned, asking her, "What, you're not happy about it? Do you really have to be this virtuous and magnanimous first wife?"

"Have you thought this through? If I have another woman, I'll pamper her just like I pampered you, share a bed with her, and do all sorts of intimate things with her. Are you really not jealous or possessive at all?"

By the end, Cheng Yan was getting a little angry and threatened her, "If you dare say you're not jealous or possessive, I'll kill you in bed today."

Qin Yizhen: "......"

Her face flushed crimson, and she pinched his arm, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed: "Just say what you're saying, can you please stop...?"

Don't be so reckless.

She was too embarrassed to speak, "Don't say such shocking things."

Why did she always think of him as a dignified and upright gentleman, a respectable and admirable elder?

This man was clearly very lewd in his speech and liked to touch her inappropriately, wanting to touch her here and kiss her there.

When he had nothing to do, he would often look through his "Art of War" and even wanted to invite her to read it with him.

My eyes are practically going blind.

When he was shameless, she was so embarrassed she wanted to kick him off the bed.

"So, are you going to agree or not?" Cheng Yan asked her.

"Promise what?"

"Of course, it's about sending Wang Xianrong away. Not only Wang Xianrong, but also Song Pingping, she has to leave too."

These irrelevant people should stay out of their way.

Qin Yizhen said helplessly, "I didn't say I wouldn't agree. When I arranged for you to take concubines, it was because I hoped that someone could accompany you. Since you are not happy, then let them leave."

However, Aunt Wang is ill, so it's not appropriate to let her leave now. We'll wait two or three months until she's fully recovered.

"Also, Aunt Wang comes from the Wang family after all, so we still have to give the Wang family face. It has to be something she's willing to do and the Wang family has no objections."

As Qin Yizhen spoke, she felt a terrible headache coming on and regretted letting the man in.

It's truly a case of "it's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away."

Cheng Yan asked her again, "Could it be that she doesn't want to leave, the Wang family doesn't agree, and that's the end of it?"

"No." Qin Yizhen sighed deeply. "I'll think of something else later. I'll make sure you're satisfied. Is that alright?"

Cheng Yan was satisfied after receiving this guarantee.

Whether or not she can get things done, at least her attitude is there.

Cheng Yan reached out and pulled her close, kissing her earlobe: "Then I will await good news from my wife."

The couple made a decision about Wang Xianrong's future in just a few words. As for Wang Xianrong's own thoughts, that was just a problem to be solved.

Concubines may never have had any choice. They may keep you when they need you, but if they find you a nuisance, they may make you leave.

They've already shown you kindness by arranging a way out for you, so you won't end up homeless.

Qin Yizhen was furious, and now that she had calmed down, she felt a little tired. Cheng Yan was just advising her to take a nap when someone came to announce that Princess Huizhen had arrived.

"Royal sister? What is she doing here?" Qin Yizhen frowned slightly, not very happy to see Princess Huizhen.

Cheng Yan tucked the blanket around her and told her to rest: "I'll go see what she's doing here. You just rest."

Qin Yizhen thought about it and agreed: "Then you should go and see the Imperial Sister."

With Cheng Yan around, Princess Huizhen could not see that she was angry, nor did she dare to vent her anger.

"Okay, I'll come as soon as I go."

Cheng Yan said he would be right back, and he really was. About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he returned with a box.

Qin Yizhen was preoccupied with this matter and was still awake when she saw him return so quickly. She was somewhat surprised: "Why are you back so soon? Where is my elder sister?"

"gone."

"Gone?" Qin Yizhen was somewhat surprised that he left so quickly, and asked him again, "Then what did my elder sister come here for?"

"I sent some things over, come and take a look." Cheng Yan sat down by the bed and opened the painted begonia box in his hand for her to see.

Inside were two finished velvet flowers.

One of the crabapple blossoms, with its elegant branches and beautiful flowers, looked exquisite and delicate, as if it had been made especially for her.

The other one was a fluffy little kingfisher, which was so lifelike and expressive that it stunned her.

"Is this a bird?" She reached out to touch it, but only felt a ball of fluffy silk, not a bird's body.

“I heard Huizhen say that this was discovered by the embroiderer by accident. Those silk threads can not only be made into the shapes of various flowers, but also into various animals, such as birds, which are especially easy to make.”

"The one in your hand, Huizhen said it's called 'Emerald Calyx,' and it's the best-selling bird at Yachun Pavilion right now. She specially saved one for you to play with."

Ya Chun Ge is the shop selling velvet flowers that the Pingxi Marquis's mansion secretly runs. It opened a few days ago. The shop is secretly managed by Mr. Deng, but the owner on the surface is Princess Huizhen.

"By the way, what about Fanghua Pavilion? Is it open yet?"
