Chapter 16 Punishment

Yueyi also knew that now was not the best time to meet, so after Chen Ruzhi arrived, she immediately shed two lines of crystal tears.

"My lord, please don't blame me for lying today. It's just that I'm really scared. I'm afraid that after Wanrou is favored, you will ignore me..."

"Yue'er, you don't have to think so much, the person in my heart is always you."

Even so, Chen Ru didn't like people crying in front of him, and he had been tolerant in front of Yueyi for a long time.

Today he couldn't bear it any longer, his eyebrows were pounding, and his temples ached like the roar of a drum.

"I still have some important things to do. You should go to bed first. You can come to me when the three days are up."

Yue Yi felt extremely uneasy. She saw that Chen Ruzhi's face was not good, so she did not dare to refute, but secretly speculated in her heart.

After Chen Ruzhi left, she couldn't settle down. Her eyelids were twitching and her heart was full of uneasiness.

"Didn't I ask you to mention the child more when calling the prince? Are you not easy to talk to?"

She looked in Xiao Tao's direction with a somewhat sinister look, which frightened the latter so much that he couldn't even speak clearly.

"I...I didn't, Miss Mingjian, I really didn't leave you in every word, Your Highness..."

"Miss, call me princess!"

Yueyi threw the object in her hand against the door. The wooden door was probably a few years old. It made a squeaking sound after being hit, which made the people who heard it feel uncomfortable.

What kind of life did she live in the palace in the past? She wore gold and silver, and even Bai Wanrou's dowry was in her pocket.

Ever since the imperial decree came down, she couldn't get any luck every day, and she had to give out rewards to the people below her. Her life was so difficult.

Thinking of Bai Wanrou, her eyes condensed, her eyes were as cold as thin ice, and her lips curled up in a smile that seemed both charming and ruthless.

"Bai Wanrou, just wait for me!"

Just as Yueyi suppressed and cursed her, Bai Wanrou sneezed in the room. She rubbed the tip of her nose and said, "Who is cursing me behind my back..."

"Miss! Look what I brought you today. It's roasted chestnuts made with sugar from the imperial kitchen. I tried it and it tastes really good!"

Lu Zhu was used to calling her "Miss" in the Hou Mansion, so she couldn't change it for a while, and Bai Wanrou didn't want her to change it.

She twisted a chestnut with her jade-like hands and put it in her mouth. Her eyes suddenly lit up, "It tastes almost the same as the one in the market!"

"Quick, who made this? I'm going to learn from him!"

"Hey, wait a minute! Miss, I still have something to report."

Seeing that Bai Wanrou was about to walk out, Lu Zhu became a little anxious and quickly reached out to stop her. There was still a bit of grievance on her pretty little face.

Seeing this, Bai Wanrou just pinched her cheek, chuckled, and then said: "Just tell me if you have anything to worry about. What else do you and I have to worry about?"

Luzhu breathed a sigh of relief, then thought for a while, and then said: "Miss, didn't you ask me to ask the prince about his recent whereabouts? I found that he has always gone out of the city to do business recently."

She shook her dress, sat down opposite Bai Wanrou, took another sip of tea, and carefully examined Bai Wanrou's face.

"Miss, don't let that man fool you! He goes out of the city every day, so he must be thinking of some bad idea."

Bai Wanrou saw Lu Zhu stand up again, her face turned red as she spoke, and she knew that her previous experience had made her very frightened.

Her heart ached, and she secretly made up her mind that she would never let the people around her suffer along with her.

But at the same time, she was also thinking about what Lu Zhu said. If she remembered correctly, her father was always out of town before.

Could it be that... they are busy with the same thing?

But Chen Ruzhi and his father are political enemies!

I'm afraid he is planning to kill his father.

Bai Wanrou was frightened by her own thoughts, and regardless of the fact that it was already night, she said anxiously: "Lvzhu, hurry up and prepare the carriage, I have to go back to the Marquis Mansion now!"

Qingtang, who had been waiting outside the door, opened the door and walked in, "Miss, what's going on?"

She looked at Lu Zhu, whose face was full of confusion. Apparently, she didn't know why Bai Wanrou suddenly wanted to go to the Hou Mansion.

"Qingtang came just in time. Lvzhu was resting in the yard and helped me block those irrelevant people from coming in. Qingtang followed me back home."

Luzhu originally wanted to refuse to follow him, but after thinking about it, he felt that his lady must have her own arrangements, so she had to give up.

Under Bai Wanrou's urging, the drive that originally took at least half an hour was shortened to a quarter of an hour.

The moment she opened the car curtain and walked down the steps, Bai Wanrou suddenly paused and froze on the spot without moving.

She hesitated for a moment and finally sat back.

Qingtang was a little surprised, "Miss, you said you were coming earlier, why are you back now before you go in?"

"I should have asked my father about these things before."

Although he didn't know what she was talking about, Qingtang still comforted her.

"It doesn't matter, it's too late to ask now."

Bai Wanrou shook her head. Although she did not tell Qingtang the pros and cons of this, she knew it very well in her heart.

Now, no matter whether she is living well or not in the palace, she is already the quasi-princess designated by the emperor.

Chen Ruzhi and her father have always had political disagreements. No matter how much she loves herself, her father will never tell the truth to her.

After all, he is now the prince's man, so he has to guard against it.

Thinking of this, Bai Wanrou's eyes felt sour, and big tears almost rolled down. Fortunately, she sniffed and finally endured it.

"let's go."

No matter how reluctant she is now, she has to return to the palace, otherwise Chen Ruzhi will definitely be accused of staying out all night.

Bai Wanrou led Qingtang into the courtyard along the path, but she didn't know that right behind her, Chen Ruzhi and Lin Feng had been watching her.

"What are you doing, Princess? Are you coming back via the trail today?"

Lin Feng accidentally mentioned it, but it made Chen Ruzhi furious.

Sure enough, Bai Wanrou is a veritable slut!

Not only did she not show off on her wedding night, but she also didn’t follow the rules of a woman after marrying her!

He was here to negotiate with Lin Feng because of court affairs, but he didn't expect God to give him such a big surprise, and he happened to catch his princess returning home.

"What did you mention about that woman? What does she have to care about?"

Lin Feng saw his master's extremely dissatisfied face and knew that what he said was wrong, so he immediately lowered his head and pretended to be quail.

Bai Wanrou on the other side relaxed completely after entering the courtyard. She called to Qingtang and Luzhu, "Come and try these chestnuts quickly. They taste so good."

She just tried it, and the chestnuts tasted better after they were cooled than when they were warm.

"I've eaten, and I'll leave the rest to Miss and Sister Qingtang."

Luzhu looked at the delicious food in front of her, salivating a little, but she could only refuse.

She didn't want the young lady to think that she was a good loser.

Bai Wanrou probably saw what she meant, laughed, and then pulled her down to sit next to her.

"Don't refuse. These chestnuts taste better after they are cooled. You have to try them anyway."

Luzhu then smiled and ate one, "Yeah, it tastes really good."

She turned around and saw Bai Wanrou's expression as if she was laughing at her, and two more blushes appeared on her cheeks.

When Qingtang saw this, he knew that his master was deliberately teasing Lu Zhu, so he was not jealous, but watched it with relish.

"You two, come and help me lift this wicker chair. It's too heavy. I can't lift it alone."

Luzhu and Qingtang turned around when they heard the sound, and saw Bai Wanrou trying to move the wicker chair in the corner all by herself, their hearts were in their throats.

"Miss, please go and sit down quickly. We will do the rough work."

"Yes, miss, the two of us are stronger than one. You can just sit down and eat snacks."

Bai Wanrou declined for a few words, and finally the three of them moved the chairs out crookedly.

She lay on it, sighing secretly at the bright moon and cool breeze, how happy the moonlight night was.

"Lvzhu, please bring the small wooden table in my room so that we can enjoy tea and chestnuts here. It will be very comfortable."

Luzhu smiled when he heard this, and moved the wooden table out with Qingtang.

The three of them just chatted, and Bai Wanrou would occasionally recite a few lines of poetry.

After hearing this, Lin Feng, who was hiding behind the tree, envied the three of them for their carefreeness, while secretly comparing himself to Bai Wanrou and Yueyi.

"This princess is straightforward by nature. She has changed so much in recent days. She is now a bit better than Miss Yue."

He only muttered in a low voice, but who was Chen Ruzhi? He could hear clearly even the whispers like mosquitoes, let alone Lin Feng's complaints.

He gritted his teeth. This vicious and vicious woman looked the same every day. How could she compare with the simple Yueyi?

Looking at Bai Wanrou who was free and easy, and thinking about her changes in the past few days, Chen Ruzhi felt that his heartbeat was a little faster and he felt more depressed.

"Lin Feng, you haven't done much with me recently. I'm afraid your hands are rusty. You'd better go to the back mountain to strengthen your training."

Lin Feng looked at Chen Ruzhi's serious face and suddenly didn't know what to say.

He accompanied Chen Ruzhi when he left the city, and he also did all the daily tasks.

That guy Lin Yi has enough time to bicker with him every day and doesn't strengthen training, so why do he still need it?

Lin Feng thought for a while and blamed him for talking too much just now. He shouldn't have said those words.

But the done thing is done, and I can’t regret it anymore.

He could only respond in a low voice, and then walked towards the back mountain like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Seeing a figure illuminated by the moonlight, Lin Feng knew that Lin Yi was also training and talked while walking.

"Do you think this prince is unkind? I am tired from running around day and night, but he is so cruel that he wants me to strengthen my training!"

"What happened this time?" Lin Yi has been silent all year round, and his voice was a little hoarse when he opened his mouth, but it seemed particularly deep and captivating.

Lin Feng told what had just happened, and Lin Yi smiled with an extremely small arc, which was very well hidden in the night.

Even Lin Feng, who had received special hearing training, wondered whether he had heard wrongly.

Then a male voice came from the middle of the night, "You have nothing to do with interfering in the feelings between masters. Even if you are punished, it is expected."

This was the first time that Lin Feng heard him say so many words, but the content of his words made him extremely dissatisfied.

That's all, let's remember this time so that no matter what he says in the future, he won't say too much.
