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

Mao Mao was so frightened that she quickly waved her hands.

"No, no, I'm a proper man, I don't want her in my room."

Ah Qi had already recognized Princess Yu Jie by this moment, but fortunately, Princess Yu Jie didn't recognize her, a mere palace maid. She quickly pulled Xiang Xiu aside.

"Let's go, do as Sister Lan says."

Xiangxiu was unconvinced, but Lanzhi smiled and reminded her...

"Xiangxiu, hurry! Where's Mo Ning?"

Mao Mao pointed impatiently into the yard.

"Brother Mo Ning is waiting for you in the courtyard, let's go in quickly!"

Lan Zhi hurriedly pulled Yu Jie's hand and walked into the courtyard. Xiang Xiu pouted and turned to walk into the courtyard unhappily. Yu Jie pointed at her back.

“Look, she seems unhappy. I was worried that her room wasn’t clean.”

"Alright, when you're out and about, don't be so fussy. If they find out who you are, you won't be able to stay here."

Yu Jie suppressed her anger at being rejected and followed Lan Zhi into the courtyard.

Ah Qi tugged at Xiang Xiu's sleeve and whispered a reminder.

"Don't be angry. Didn't you realize that Yu Jie is a woman?"

"What?"

Xiangxiu looked back at Yujie, who was following Lanzhi into the courtyard, with suspicion in her eyes.

You're saying she's a woman?

Ah Qi nodded.

"Yes, look at her waist, her eyebrows and eyes, and the way she walks. She's obviously a woman. Otherwise, Sister Lan wouldn't have let her come to our room to change clothes. Don't feel wronged."

Xiangxiu then nodded as if she had just realized something.

"No wonder, Ah Qi, you have a good eye. I thought he was a eunuch."

Ah Qi understood in her heart that it wasn't that she had good eyesight; she knew Princess Yu Jie's identity. However, since Lan Zhi hadn't said it explicitly, she would just pretend not to recognize her!

When Lan Zhi brought Yu Jie to Mo Ning, a look of surprise flashed in Mo Ning's eyes, and he thought to himself: Why is Yu Jie here?

Before he could speak, Lan Zhi stepped forward and said:

"Mo Ning, why didn't you meet me at the door this time?"

“I originally wanted to go, but Xiangxiu and Aqi both said it was too sunny at the entrance and they were afraid you would blame them when you came back, so they told me to wait in the yard. I was getting really anxious waiting.”

Yu Jie watched Lan Zhi and Mo Ning talking, and her brows immediately furrowed.

She took two steps forward and interrupted her.

"Lan Zhi, who is he?"

Lan Zhi quickly stood up straight and introduced:

"He is my husband, his surname is Mo and his given name is Ning."

Mo Ning glanced at Yu Jie and nodded to her, but Yu Jie smiled disdainfully.

"Lan Zhi, is the husband you told me about him? A cripple in a wheelchair, and he's wearing a mask that looks neither human nor ghost?"

"Yu Jie, please show some respect. He is my husband."

“I know he is your husband, but judging from your looks, your husband should at least be a handsome man, if not a high-ranking official, right? But he… he is disabled. How can you marry him? You should write him a divorce agreement right now, and I will find you a better man.”

"Yu Jie..."

Seeing that she was becoming increasingly outspoken, Lan Zhi got a little angry, and her tone became unhappy.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I won't take you out next time."

But Yu Jie was still unconvinced and wanted to speak up for her.

"Lan Zhi..."

"Stop talking."

Lan Zhi's tone turned displeased, and she immediately looked at Mo Ning.

"sorry!"

Mo Ning shook his head, seemingly unconcerned.

"It's okay, she's right. I do look terrible like this and I'm not a good match for you."

Upon hearing his voice, Yu Jie frowned slightly, then retorted with a cold sarcasm:

"His voice does sound like a man's, it's just a pity he's crippled, what a waste of Lan Zhi..."

"All right."

Lan Zhi was truly angry this time. She stepped forward, grabbed Yu Jie's hand, and rebuked her angrily.

"I'll take you back now."

Yu Jie pouted and forcefully shook off her hand.

"I'm telling the truth, but you just don't want to admit it."

"What is there that I don't want to admit? Mo Ning is my husband, my man. No matter what he is like now, I still think he is the best. Do you understand?"

Her words not only surprised Yu Jie, but also warmed Mo Ning's heart, almost bringing her to tears.

He always thought that she only didn't give up on him because she felt sorry for him, but he never expected that she would react so strongly to Yu Jie's ridicule.

He knew Yu Jie's personality quite well. She was someone who couldn't keep things to herself or keep her mouth shut. She liked to say whatever came to mind, rarely considering other people's feelings or the appropriate occasion for saying certain things.

The fact that she could say these things to Lan Zhi in front of him showed that she considered Lan Zhi a friend, which made Mo Ning feel gratified.

Because Yu Jie was once his most clingy younger sister, and also the one with the best relationship with him among all the princes and princesses.

It's a pity that they can't recognize each other now that they've met.

"Lan Zhi, this young lady seems to be a straightforward person, and she must genuinely care about you, which is why she said those things to you. You haven't been back for several days, don't be angry, quickly take her inside to rest!"

Yu Jie was a little embarrassed just now, but seeing that Mo Ning spoke up for her, she looked at Mo Ning in surprise.

"You know I'm a woman?"

Mo Ning smiled slightly and nodded gently.

"Judging from your figure and the tone of your voice, I can tell you're a woman, Lan Zhi. Quickly take your friend inside!"

Although Lan Zhi was still angry about Yu Jie's careless remarks, her anger subsided somewhat when she saw that Mo Ning didn't take it to heart.

Just then, Xiangxiu and Aqi came out. She hurriedly told them to take Yujie to change her clothes, while she pushed Mo Ning towards the room.

Before entering the room, Mo Ning glanced at Yu Jie and said softly:

"Is she a princess from the palace?"

Lan Zhi blinked a few times in surprise, looking at Mo Ning in astonishment.

"how do you know?"

“She comes from the palace, with skin as white as jade, and is arrogant and rude. She doesn’t look like a palace maid at all. Moreover, a woman who has lived in the palace at such a young age must be a princess without a doubt.”

Lan Zhi looked at him with great admiration.

"You guessed right, she is Princess Yujie. When she heard that I was leaving the palace, she insisted on coming with me. I brought her home without discussing it with you. You're not angry, are you?"

Mo Ning shook his head.

"Since you were able to bring her out, it proves that you two have a good relationship. Your friend is naturally my friend too, so why would I be angry?"

Hearing this, Lan Zhi smiled, pursing her lips.

"I'll be back in six days this time. Were you getting impatient?"

"I know something must have been holding you back. How is it? Have you resolved the important matter you mentioned in your letter?"

Lan Zhi sighed and shook her head.

"No, this matter is of great importance, and I dare not take it lightly. Naturally, it is not easy to resolve."

"Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you analyze it."
