I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

Lan Zhi went out early in the morning to find a school for Mao Mao. She had just booked a suitable one and planned to send Mao Mao to school tomorrow.

She felt thirsty on the way, and as soon as she returned to the main hall, she eagerly picked up her water cup, only to see Yu Min barging in aggressively with her maid.

"Lan Zhi, what exactly do you mean?"

She frowned slightly, looked closely, and asked calmly, "Why is Princess Yumin so angry?"

Princess Yumin launched into a barrage of questions.

"Hmph! Tell me, was it your idea to have the people of Jingxiangyuan cook in the small kitchen?"

Lan Zhi shook her head innocently.

"This was the Crown Prince's idea; it has nothing to do with me."

"None of your business? You're so quick to deny it. I think he was just influenced by you. You let Yu Jie dine with you, and you let Lin Yuwei dine with you, but you made me dine alone in Jingxiang Garden. The dishes sent in every day were pitifully few, mostly just green vegetables. I am a princess, and my mother is the current Empress, yet I have to be neglected in your Crown Prince's residence. I see now, you just can't stand me, you're doing this on purpose."

When she first came to the Crown Prince's residence, it was Wei Jianning who suggested that she and Wei Ming cook separately in the small kitchen. Wei Jianning knew her temperament, and with Wei Ming there, even though they lived under the same roof, they wouldn't see each other often, which would reduce some friction.

Unexpectedly, Princess Yumin shifted all the blame onto Lan Zhi.

She calmly picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and solemnly reminded him...

"I'll say it again, where you eat is none of my business. I'm too lazy to care and don't want to care. If you feel it's inappropriate, you can go directly to Wei Jianning. Don't come here and make a scene."

"Throwing a tantrum? You dare say I'm throwing a tantrum? What are you good for? What right do you have to say that to me?"

At this point, she glanced at her location, then angrily pointed at her.

"What right do you have to sit in the main seat? Get up right now."

Seeing that Yu Min was determined to go all out with her today, Lan Zhi also snorted without any politeness.

"Whether I am qualified to sit here is none of your business. Your purpose in coming to the Crown Prince's residence is to take care of Wei Ming. You just need to do your own job."

As she finished speaking, she looked at Ah Qi and Xiang Xiu.

"I'm tired, I'll see you out."

"you……"

Yu Min was unconvinced and wanted to say something more, but seeing Xiang Xiu and A Qi already standing in front of her, she immediately flicked her handkerchief and snorted.

"Let's see how long you can be so arrogant, hmph!"

Watching her leave in anger, Lan Zhi frowned slightly, but she quickly relaxed and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

Even if no one acknowledges that she is the Crown Princess, as long as Wei Jianning acknowledges her, the position is hers.

Before dinner, Yumin was the first to arrive at the canteen; she was determined to eat there today.

Lan Zhi didn't care about this; it wouldn't affect her where she ate anyway. Wei Jianning, however, looked displeased.

"Yumin, didn't I tell you to dine at Jingxiang Garden? Why did you come here?"

Yu Min glanced at everyone at the table, then shrugged indifferently.

"Yu Jie can sit here, Lin Yuwei can sit here, why can't I?"

"Because you are here to take care of Wei Ming, you need to stay with him."

When Wei Ming was mentioned, Yu Min's expression changed slightly. She wondered where the child had gone. However, she remembered what her mother had told her before she came: if she angered Wei Ming and he left, she only needed to send someone to the palace to inform her. She didn't need to worry about where Wei Ming went; he would come back on his own.

Thinking of it, she immediately snorted.

“It’s true that I’m here to keep him company, but my monthly allowance is being sent to the Crown Prince’s residence. If I’m not even given a proper place to eat, I won’t agree to that. Otherwise, we’ll go and reason with Father.”

Seeing that Wei Jianning was about to speak again to stop her, Lan Zhi quickly shook her head at him, signaling him to stop talking.

Wei Jianning had no choice but to nod.

"what ever."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of pork rib and placed it on Lan Zhi's plate. Before he could put it down, Granny Zhuang rushed in hurriedly.

"Your Highness, Young Master Wei Ming has disappeared."

Upon hearing Granny Zhuang's words, Yu Min's hand trembled, and the dish she had just picked up fell onto the table in fright.

Wei Jianning frowned, stood up and asked:

"Where did he go?"

Granny Zhuang glanced at Princess Yumin furtively, but didn't dare tell the truth. Instead, she shook her head.

"This old servant does not know. He went out in the morning, and it's already dark, so he hasn't returned yet."

"Didn't you search inside and outside the mansion?"

"I've searched everywhere, but I can't find him anywhere."

The more Granny Zhuang spoke, the more anxious she became. Wei Jianning immediately called out to her.

"Yuan Tianxiong, quickly tell everyone to go find Young Master Wei Ming."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Yuan Tianxiong received the order, he quickly withdrew. Wei Jianning whispered to Lan Zhi:

"You eat slowly, I'll go check on things."

Lan Zhi also shook her head in worry.

"I'll go too, the more people there are, the more strength we'll have."

Seeing this, Yu Min guiltily put down her chopsticks and stammered.

"Then...then I'll go too!"

Lin Yuwei and Yujie felt it was inappropriate to continue eating, so they both got up and started making arrangements to go find the person.

These people searched the Crown Prince's residence inside and out, but couldn't find Wei Ming. Yu Min was starting to get anxious.

She was the one who angered Wei Ming and drove him away. If anything really happens to Wei Ming, she will be held responsible.

Wei Jianning led his men to search outside the mansion, while Lan Zhi, along with A Qi and Xiang Xiu, continued searching in the back garden.

She always thought, how far could a six-year-old child run? Maybe he was just playing and fell asleep somewhere.

The three of them, under the moonlight, searched every corner of the back garden.

Ah Qi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Why did he run away when he was perfectly fine? If we can't find him, it'll look like our Crown Prince's residence is bullying him."

Xiangxiu nodded in agreement.

"That's right, I've heard about it. That young master Wei Ming has always regarded the crown prince as his enemy. If something really happens to him, the emperor will definitely blame the crown prince, and you might even be implicated."

There's no doubt about that; Lan Zhi could certainly have guessed it.

Now, in the entire Crown Prince's residence, only a few people around her acknowledge her identity and show her some respect. The rest of them all have a covetous look on their faces. If Wei Ming really gets into trouble this time, these people will definitely kick him while he's down.

Just then, Mao Mao suddenly rushed in.

"Sister, Young Master Wei Ming has been found, and the Crown Prince wants you to come over."

"found it?"

Mao Mao, sweating profusely, nodded emphatically.

"He's injured, and seriously injured. The Crown Prince wants you to go and see if there's any hope of saving him."

Injuried?

Upon hearing those two words, Lan Zhi frowned and quickly followed Mao Mao to the front yard.

When they arrived at Jingxiang Garden, it was surrounded by people. Upon seeing her, Wei Jianning quickly went to greet her.

"Lan Zhi, it's too late to call the imperial physician! Quickly, see if there's any hope for him!"
