After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

As a fellow member of the royal family, Xie Jinglan was well aware of Song Yunming's interesting anecdotes and stories; Song Yunming was not such a kind-hearted person.

Seeing Xie Jinglan's chillingly cold gaze, Feng Ling quickly added, "However, Jiang Yuyue did not get into his carriage and made up an excuse to refuse. Although Prince Ning did not insist, judging from his appearance... it seems that he has some thoughts about Jiang Yuyue."

Feng Ling tried to phrase her words tactfully, but Xie Jinglan's lips curled into a contemptuous smile, while his eyes flashed with cold light. "He's getting more and more audacious."

Feng Ling dared not express her opinion on this. Then Xie Jinglan suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice, "Go back and keep a close eye on her. If she takes any further action, do your best to help her resolve the trouble. Feel free to do as you please. As for Song Yunming, I will take care of him. There is no need to worry about offending him."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She truly hadn't expected her prince to care so much about Jiang Yuyue.

Although this person and Prince Ning have always been at odds, it has always been a covert rivalry that has never been brought into the open. This is the first time that His Highness has so openly declared that he wants to oppose Prince Ning, and for the sake of a woman...

Speaking of this, Feng Ling recalled the Wansheng Casino incident. The Wansheng Casino was originally owned by Prince Ning. If it weren't for His Highness helping to get rid of the person behind Manager Chen who was relaying messages for Prince Ning, how could Chen Yanjin have so readily agreed to plot against the Xie family?

But unfortunately, her own prince is the kind of person who does good deeds anonymously. Even now, Jiang Yuyue is still kept in the dark and thinks that she was the one who orchestrated it.

"Your Highness, there is something else."

Feng Ling then remembered something she hadn't reported yet. "Your Highness, you urgently summoned Pei Jingchuan to Shu, but Pei Jingchuan is still staying in Jinling and hasn't left. Judging from his affection for Jiang Yuyue, I'm afraid he's staying for her sake, and I expect he'll go to see Jiang Yuyue again later."

"He's gotten quite bold, daring to disobey even military orders."

Xie Jinglan narrowed his eyes slightly. "In that case, issue an order to punish him with thirty strokes of the cane and order him to set off immediately. If he disobeys again, he will be punished for delaying military operations."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Feng Ling silently withdrew. However, he felt that his Highness's punishment of Pei Jingchuan was somewhat like settling a personal score.

Although the reason for transferring Pei Jingchuan to Shu to guard against attacks from the south was indeed legitimate, among so many people, His Highness had chosen him. Feng Ling really couldn't say whether it was because he valued Pei Jingchuan or because he wanted to prevent him from continuing to stay by Jiang Yuyue's side...

But Feng Ling only dared to think these words in his heart; even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to ask them aloud.

After Jiang Yuyue returned home, the entire Jiang family became lively. During the meal, a whole table was filled with various dishes. Although the chef Xie Jinglan had hired was quite skilled, it was a rare treat to eat so freely. In addition, the atmosphere was different when she was back at home, which made Jiang Yuyue feel extremely happy.

Although she had a comfortable few days, she couldn't help but miss Xie Jinglan, who stayed at the Xie family.

Now that she's gone, Xie Jinglan will only have Jixiang by his side, and he'll probably be quite lonely.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuyue decided to go and see what was going on. It is said that even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Even if she and Xie Jinglan were not husband and wife in name, having the de facto relationship was the same thing.

Under the cover of night, Jiang Yuyue secretly slipped out again without telling anyone in the Jiang family. Fortunately, the Xie family would not set foot in the backyard of that dilapidated house, so Jiang Yuyue was not worried about being discovered.

But just as Jiang Yuyue skillfully climbed into the yard, she gave Jixiang a big fright.

"Young Master... Miss Jiang, what brings you here so late?"

Ji Xiang almost forgot to change his address for a moment. In fact, he knew without asking that Jiang Yuyue must have come for His Highness.

Since His Highness moved here, he has been sleeping with Jiang Yuyue almost every day, and rarely has time to deal with the important matters of the Jiangnan water bandits. Now that he finally has time to go out, he has run into them again by sheer coincidence.

If Jiang Yuyue were to discover that His Highness was not in his room so late, it would be difficult to explain!

"Naturally, we've come to see the Third Young Master."

Jiang Yuyue held up the food box in her hand and smiled, "I brought him some pastries from our Jiang family's small kitchen."

After saying this, Jiang Yuyue was about to walk into the room when Jixiang quickly stopped her and made up a reason on the spot.

"Miss Jiang, you shouldn't go in today."

Jixiang lowered her voice and said in a serious tone, "You've been gone for several days without a word, and the Third Young Master is really sulking! If it weren't for this servant persuading him, he probably wouldn't even take his medicine properly!"

"Not only that, the Third Young Master has been suffering from insomnia these past few days. He finally managed to go to bed a little earlier today, so it would be best if you didn't go in and disturb him. Besides, the Third Young Master said some angry things, saying that if Miss Jiang came, he would send you back, and that he didn't want to see you!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue was slightly surprised. Although she knew that Xie Jinglan was a person who liked to throw tantrums, listening to what Jixiang said... it didn't seem like Xie Jinglan at all.

However, Jiang Yuyue thought that he was not in good health and it would be inconvenient to wake him if he really had insomnia, so she gave up the idea of ​​going into the room to see him.

"In that case, keep the pastries and give them to him when he wakes up tomorrow."

Jiang Yuyue handed the food box to Jixiang, saying, "You should also help me persuade him. How can he not take his health seriously all the time?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Jixiang nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, this servant will definitely take the best care of the Third Young Master from now on!"

Jiang Yuyue nodded, glanced at the house where Xie Jinglan lived, and did not suspect anything.

However, considering Xie Jinglan's current attitude towards me, it seems I need to move on to the next step as soon as possible.

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Yuyue returned to the Xie family in a grand procession, riding in a carriage.

"Grandmother, Mother, are you both well?"

Jiang Yuyue got off the carriage and walked into the courtyard quite familiarly. When Madam Xie and her entourage saw that Jiang Yuyue had returned after being gone for so many days, their expressions were quite puzzled.

"Moon, what's wrong with you...?"

Madam Xie was puzzled. Although she didn't understand why Jiang Yuyue, who had no connection with the Xie family anymore, was here, she still asked, "Could it be that you forgot something?"

"How could that be?" Jiang Yuyue smiled, then looked around the house again, her brows immediately furrowing.
