Yunling saw Chu Yunhan's restless look in her eyes and curved her lips and smiled.

Compared to her mother, Mrs. Lian, Chu Yunhan is still too young. She usually looks as noble as an earthly fairy, but immediately panics when she encounters a slight setback.

A new table and refreshments were quickly delivered. The old prince received Xiao Bicheng in the main hall. Mrs. Chen called Yunling and Chu Yunze to talk alone.

Yunling has had no relatives since she was a child, and her feelings for Chen are not deep, but she has many memories of her in her mind.

This is a mother who loves her daughter very much.

"Ling'er, tell the truth to mother, does Prince Jing really not care about what happened before?"

Yunling smiled and said, "The raw rice has already been cooked, so there is no point in arguing. I can only accept it. This is the case for me and him."

"Then...how will the prince treat you?" Mrs. Chen knew that Xiao Bicheng was thinking about another woman.

Yunling frowned, "It's neither good nor bad, so let's just make do with it."

She didn't like Xiao Bicheng, but when it came to forced marriage, he and Chu Yunling were both poor people who were plotted against.

"Although I don't know what my brother-in-law is thinking, he treats Yunling pretty well."

Chu Yunze recounted in detail what happened at the gate of Duke Wen's mansion this morning.

Seeing that Mrs. Chen was finally relieved, Yunling temporarily suppressed her smile and spoke in a serious tone.

"Don't worry about me. On the contrary, from now on, when I'm in the house, mother, you have to show more dignity as your royal wife, and don't let that bitch step on your head."

Mrs. Chen frowned and wanted to speak, but Yunling continued: "I know what mother is thinking, so don't worry about it. Even if grandpa is gone, you still have the Queen Mother as your backer. Don't forget that the marriage between you and dad was the royal protector's.

Matchmaker!"

Over the years, Chen had lived a cautious life in Duke Wen's palace.

In fact, this is not because the old prince was not good to her. The couple originally loved each other, but after her grandfather passed away, Chen remembered that she had neither parents nor an elder brother, and she inevitably felt lonely and helpless.

Subconsciously, her attitude in front of the old prince became much weaker. After all, besides her husband, she had no one else to rely on.

The old prince and Mrs. Lian slept together in a daze and got pregnant, and he didn't like Mrs. Lian at first.

However, over the years, Mr. Chen's temperament was too soft and she did not dare to get angry or complain. Mrs. Lian was also very resourceful, so the old prince gradually became interested in her.

"My father is not a bad person, just very stupid. There are only two kinds of people with his personality who can deal with him. Either they will ignore him and ignore him, or they will fight against him to the end."

To put it bluntly, they bully the weak and are afraid of the strong, and they also want to save face and have nothing to deal with.

"Mrs. Lian did the former, so let's do the latter. It's better to be a tigress than to pretend to be a grandson. What's more, you still have me and my eldest brother. If he still wants to do bad things, let me take care of him!"

Mrs. Chen was deeply moved and couldn't help but burst into tears.

But Chu Yunze felt unhappy. He always thought that his mother and Mrs. Lian got along very well, otherwise why would he never complain.

Now he knows that his mother is not without grievances, but she has no one to rely on.

He was such a failure as a son. If Yunling hadn't woken him up in public today, he would still be immersed in the illusion of harmony in the house.

"Mom, Yunling is right, your son will definitely become your support in the future and will never let you suffer any injustice again!"

The tears in Chen's eyes finally couldn't help but flow down, and she threw herself into his arms.

Yunling nodded secretly, her cheap brother could still be saved. He was not bad-hearted, but just like his eldest son, he was a bit stupid.

Perhaps it was because Duke Wen's palace had never had concubines or concubine children before, and both father and son lacked experience in matters concerning the back house, so they were deceived easily.

Chu Yunze comforted Chen and looked at Yunling with complicated eyes.

His sister, who has not had a good relationship since childhood, although has a bad temper, is surprisingly transparent.

…

In the garden of the back house, Chu Yunhan finally found an opportunity to be alone with Xiao Bicheng.

"Brother Bicheng, how are you these days?" Chu Yunhan took the initiative to step forward and take Xiao Bicheng's left hand, "Your hand was injured just now, so I specially brought medicine."

Xiao Bicheng paused slightly, withdrew his hand, and said calmly as usual: "It doesn't matter, now that I'm married, don't do this again, others will inevitably criticize you if they see it."

Seeing that he was rejected, Chu Yunhan bit his lip with complicated eyes and said: "Brother Bicheng, don't you blame your sister?"

"You want me to blame her?"

"Of course not, it's just my sister's temper... That day she hurt Yuzhi and yelled at you. I was worried that you would have a grudge. Now that you can put an end to the past, it's great."

What used to sound like a normal thing now seems to have a special meaning.

Xiao Bicheng could hear the hint of provocation in her words, and he felt indescribable heaviness and disappointment in his heart.

"Why did Feng Yan visit today?"

Chu Yunhan's eyes darkened, and he forced a smile and said: "He came to ask for marriage, and said he wanted to take me as his concubine. Dad didn't agree, so he came every day for three days in a row."

"Brother Bicheng has lost his prestige today. I think Duke Wen's mansion will be quiet for a long time. Speaking of which, it was thanks to your protection in the past that Feng Yan didn't dare to stalk me."

Chu Yunhan hinted at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Why did Xiao Bicheng not know who Feng Yan was? He had always been coveting Chu Yunhan's beauty, and every time he was entangled before, he had to step in to solve it.

The other party must have been eager to get involved with Chu Yunhan after he got married.

Xiao Bicheng suddenly remembered what Yun Ling had said, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked.

"Yunhan, if Chu Yunling and I make peace, are you willing to be Princess Jing? That way I can protect you for the rest of my life."

Chu Yunhan's expression froze slightly, and his heart skipped a beat.

"How can I, a humble concubine, be worthy of being your concubine? If I were a legitimate daughter like Yunling, it wouldn't be an insult to my brother Bicheng's status."

She was really afraid that Xiao Bicheng would do that, otherwise why would she try so hard to push him to Chu Yunling.

Xiao Bicheng had already guessed her answer, so he just asked casually, but the answer he got was still chilling.

Behind the scenes, Chu Yunhan was still worried about the identity of his legitimate daughter.

"Once upon a time, you said that as long as you could marry me, you would be willing to be a concubine."

He smiled, as if he was talking about a very ordinary past event.

Chu Yunhan's heart skipped a beat and she looked a little unnatural, "Yes, but Brother Bicheng treats me well and said that if he marries me, he will only marry me as his wife."

"Who knows, things are different now, maybe we are destined to be different."

Xiao Bicheng stood quietly under the tree, his handsome side face as indifferent as usual, without any emotion.

His biological mother was a palace maid, and before he achieved great military exploits, he was just an unknown and transparent prince.

Because he has been at the border for many years, he has never had contact with other women except Chu Yunhan, whom he has known since childhood.

He had never given much thought to marriage, but everyone said that he and Chu Yunhan were childhood sweethearts, perfect for each other, and she was the only woman he knew well, and she would never leave him after he lost his sight.

He acquiesced to this statement and did not mind the other party's concubine background and was willing to give her the position of Princess Jing.

Now it seems that it is really a good "fate but not destiny".

After a long time, Xiao Bicheng closed his eyes and smiled lightly.

"Things change and people change...you are right."

He felt unprecedentedly tired and lonely in his heart.
