Tang Zhuyun slowly opened her eyes and asked the enlarged, anxious face of the Prince of Jin, "Your Highness, I have some candy in my purse. Could you please take one out for me?"
The Prince of Jin took out the sugar and held it in his slightly rough hands. "What should we do now?"
Tang Zhuyun: "... You've eaten..."
Before I could even say, "It's no use," I saw—
The Prince of Jin had already stuffed the candy into his mouth with lightning speed.
Tang Zhuyun: "Your Highness, give it to me!"
She has low blood sugar, she's going to die!
Her expression of clenching her teeth was so obvious and urgent that the Prince of Jin agreed with a "good," poured out all the candies from her purse, and put them into his own mouth without hesitation.
Tang Zhuyun:???
With a candy in his mouth, the Prince of Jin asked indistinctly, "And then?"
Then feed her? Like when you helped a suspect check his breathing?
Their methods of rescuing people have always been so unique.
Tang Zhuyun: Blame it on the profoundness of the Chinese characters.
"Give me food" doesn't mean he has to eat what she tells him to, but rather that she has to feed him!
"Your Highness," Tang Zhuyun said weakly, "I meant, feed me, not you!"
Prince of Jin: "I know, I didn't eat it!"
He's holding it in his mouth!
Her request is a bit too impatient.
Maybe she's a doctor, and she feels that if she can save lives, it doesn't matter.
Purity, one must be pure, the Prince of Jin silently reminded himself, then continuously encouraged himself, slowly pressing his lips down...
--It's not like we've never kissed before, it's just that this time it went a little deeper. He's a man, what's there to be afraid of!
Afraid of losing face and lacking experience, he desperately didn't want Tang Zhuyun to dislike him. Luckily, he didn't eat anything after rinsing his mouth with bamboo salt...
Tang Zhuyun stared in shock at the magnified handsome face and instinctively looked away.
Is it that she's not thinking straight, or is it him?
"We're here, we've arrived. This is the place." Xue Lie's voice rang out, and then the Xue Family family members appeared before them.
Tang Zhuyun desperately wanted to faint, but she didn't dare, fearing that Prince of Jin would actually feed her candy mouth-to-mouth.
She forcefully pushed Prince of Jin away, pretending not to see the shocked expressions on the Xue Family family's faces. She tried to straighten her clothes, but lost her balance.
The Prince of Jin pulled her firmly back into his arms, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed all the candy in his mouth.
I really wanted to feed her, but I didn't want anyone to see.
"A-Yun, wait a minute."
The men of the Xue Family were furious.
You, Prince of Jin, so eager for sex! Do you think you can bully someone who has no one to rely on?
Xue Lie: "Where's my gun!"
Everyone's afraid he'll cause trouble, so they won't let him carry a gun. It really infuriates him.
Tang Zhuyun wanted to laugh at his pig-like face, so she straightened up and explained, "I haven't eaten and I feel a little dizzy. Thank goodness, Your Highness. I'll feel better after eating a piece of candy."
Prince of Jin: Tang Zhuzi probably wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to me, but she was interrupted by the Xue Family. I hate it!
Xiu'er came out, helped Tang Zhuyun, fed her some candy, and Tang Baixin came out to greet the Xue Family family. Only then was the matter temporarily put to rest.
However, an inexplicable antagonism was brewing between the Prince of Jin and the men of the Xue Family.
Fortunately, the little baby Sister Yuan attracted everyone's attention. The men of the Xue Family, from the oldest to the youngest, took turns holding Sister Yuan. Those who didn't hold her well were attacked by the group. "You, you're not good enough, hand over the child right now!"
Meng Yulan peeked through the window and laughed, whispering to Lüzhu, "It seems that Sister Yuan won't suffer any more injustice now."
Lüzhu smiled and said, "We couldn't possibly wrong our Sister Yuan in the first place, so you can rest assured now."
A genuine smile appeared in Meng Yulan's eyes.
Upon hearing that Tang Mingfan was ill and recuperating next door, Xue Shanting coldly remarked, "It's best he's not around. Otherwise, we won't be able to enjoy Sister Yuan's good days."
Tang Baixin defend his father, but Tang Zhuyun grabbed him.
Even if this knot needs to be untied, it will have to be done gradually in the future.
Otherwise, if the Xue Family family thinks that the siblings are heartless and blindly side with their father, it will be even more difficult to ease the tension.
Tang Mingfan did want to come and pay his respects to Xue Shanting despite his illness, but Xiu'er persuaded him not to.
"Master, please don't add fuel to the fire," Xiu'er said. "Everyone's angry right now. If you go out like this, they'll say you're faking illness or playing the victim."
Tang Mingfan then abandoned the idea and wept alone.
Xiu'er felt sorry for him and sighed, "Master, please lie down. I'll go get you some food. The banquet today was all ordered from outside, but Her Majesty prepared a special meal for you."
"You shouldn't dwell on the past. Look to the future. You must live well so that Your Majesty can have a father!"
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound; Tang Mingfan nodded.
Xiu'er rushed out to fetch the food.
"Slow down, the soup is hot."
"Your Majesty," Xiu'er asked softly, "Why isn't the banquet starting yet?"
Tang Zhuyun rolled her eyes and said, "Aren't we waiting for people from the Duke Meng's Residence?"
Those cowards didn't show up, and she lost the bet.
Thankfully, there weren't any stakes, or I would have been heartbroken.
"Dog Meat isn't fit for a banquet, what are we waiting for them for?" Xiu'er snorted.
"Isn't it for your sister-in-law's sake? We can't break off this marriage."
"That's true, I'll take the soup over first."
She carefully carried the soup out, and Song Jingyang called out, "Xiu'er, Xiu'er, let me do it!"
The men of the Xue Family family. "Simp! With servants like this, the masters are pretty much the same. Just look at the methods Prince of Jin used to bewitch Tang Zhuyun —despicable!"
As expected, the people from the Duke Meng's Residence arrived late, but there was a large, bustling crowd.
Tang Zhuyun only knew Duke Meng's Wife and Meng Yuqian.
She didn't stand on ceremony and casually welcomed them inside, then escorted them to Meng Yulan's room.
These people won't change their minds because of her attitude; what they value most is always their own interests.
Since that's the case, there's no need to waste emotions.
I don't know what's going on in Duke Meng's Wife's head, she actually brought that fool Meng Yuqian along.
Why hasn't she been married off to Jiang Beihan yet, so they can fight like dogs? It's such a shame.
Tang Zhuyun had no intention of paying attention to her, but the woman deliberately came forward to invite a verbal attack.
"Should I call you Miss Tang or Your Highness, Princess?"
Tang Zhuyun smiled enigmatically, "The prince is outside. Why don't you go and ask him first? After all, you're good at talking to men."
Meng Yuqian's face immediately flushed red. Because she was talking to Tang Zhuyun alone, her stepmother hadn't heard her words and didn't stop her.
Of course, she felt that her stepmother wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
So she blurted out without thinking, "Marrying someone of equal social standing has always been the right way. The Tang Family so poor they have nothing but bare walls. I'd like to see what kind of dowry you'll have!"
He spoke very loudly, and everyone in the room heard him.
Meng Yulan sneered, "Little sister, you don't need to be so impatient if you want to undermine me! Our Tang Family's affairs are none of your concern!"
When Xiu'er heard this, she exclaimed, "This is outrageous!"
