Prince of Jin was certain that his desire to meet was stronger than Tang Zhuyun's.
But he cannot.
There should at least be some respect.
"A-Yun, wait three more days."
Tang Zhuyun: I'm waiting for some sex!
"Your Highness, open the door, I have something to say to you."
The Prince of Jin finally managed to open the door, but with his back to her, he said, "Listen to me, go back. You'll see him soon."
And they would stay together forever.
Tang Zhuyun, who was not one to tolerate such behavior, went up to him and twisted his body.
As a result, the Prince of Jin covered his face.
Tang Zhuyun said irritably, "Your Highness, I haven't even gouged out my own eyes since I married you, why are you covering your eyes?"
Was it easy for her to marry him?
That's a resounding slap in the face.
She went inside and sat down, looking around the room. Looking at the large red "double happiness" character, she asked, "Is everything ready?"
The Prince of Jin stood there, his expression contorted in a knot.
Tang Zhuyun: "Come here! I'm here to talk to you about something important!"
Please, just be normal.
Prince of Jin: Alright, forget it, let her be.
He walked over and sat down next to her.
"It's not blocking the way anymore?" Tang Zhuyun teased him.
"Since you're so eager, I'll reluctantly agree."
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Tang Zhuyun laughed and fell into the arms of the Prince of Jin.
The Prince of Jin sighed helplessly, patted her head, and said, "You, you!"
What should he do with her?
Tang Zhuyun shook her head. "You've messed it up. I came to talk to you about something important."
She recounted her encounters with Zong Heng and Jiang Beihan, including her conversation with Zong Heng.
The Prince of Jin sneered, "Men don't dare to confront me openly about matters between them, yet they resort to intimidating you in private. Zong Heng is truly 'worthy of respect'."
Tang Zhuyun said, "Let's not talk about that. We already knew he was despicable, shameless, and had no moral compass."
The Prince of Jin felt quite pleased to hear her cursing and, intending to tease her, asked, "So what should we care about?"
"Of course it's about your background," Tang Zhuyun said, pursing her lips. "What if he really starts gossiping and spreading it around?"
"Will you despise me?" The Prince of Jin looked at her intently.
Tang Zhuyun: "... I've always disliked it, but it has nothing to do with my background."
"What do you dislike about me?" The Prince of Jin's voice was somewhat nervous; he had actually taken it seriously.
Tang Zhuyun shook the glass beads on her wrist. "Giving people nicknames and wasting money."
Sigh, she's just a girl from the slums, destined to wear glass beads in her past life, and she's still destined for it in this one.
She dared not pick it, otherwise that stupid, clueless guy would give up and stop giving gifts in the future, wouldn't she be at a huge loss?
The Prince of Jin then realized she was joking and scolded her, "You naughty boy!"
"Let's get down to business!" Tang Zhuyun rolled her eyes at her.
"Silly boy, concern makes you confused," said the Prince of Jin.
If it weren't for her nervousness and concern, with Tang Zhuyun's intelligence, how could she not have realized how weak Zong Heng's threat was?
"A-Yun, as I told you before, I'm from the Xiao Family, and from a very young age, I've been on the battlefield just like the other members of the Xiao Family."
Tang Zhuyun nodded, somewhat bewildered.
"Xiao Jianqi was once a very famous name." Prince of Jin's face showed both pride and sorrow.
Those members of the Xiao Family who once fought side by side are now dust, except for one good-for-nothing Xiao Pang, who lives a life worse than death.
Tang Zhuyun nodded again.
She believed it, but her predecessor had never cared about such things. After she arrived, the Xiao Family had become a taboo, so she didn't know.
Seeing her still bewildered expression, the Prince of Jin smiled and patted the back of her hand, "So you're saying that no one knows about my past now?"
They're just pretending to be ignorant when they know the truth.
As for why he pretended to be confused, it was clearly out of respect for the emperor.
The Emperor said his birth mother was unknown, thus erasing the memory of a once-famous and beautiful woman; the Emperor said he fell into poverty, thus giving rise to countless legendary tales of his astonishing rise from beggar to prince...
The truth is there, but only a very few people know it, and they can only pretend to be ignorant.
Tang Zhuyun said earnestly, "My father is truly muddle-headed."
Otherwise, I would tell her.
Prince of Jin chuckled at her words and nodded, "Yes, my father-in-law is too serious, so probably no one would be foolish enough to tell him about this. Otherwise, if he asked the Emperor, wouldn't that implicate someone?"
Tang Zhuyun: In the end, it's all because my father and the Emperor are too good.
The Prince of Jin said, "Therefore, it's not difficult for anyone to inquire about my background. Zong Heng knows this, so it's not surprising."
If you're so capable, you should go and visit the Emperor, haha.
Tang Zhuyun breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help cursing inwardly, "Damn it, I almost got fooled by this guy."
Let him go limping!
"Then should I," Tang Zhuyun discussed with Prince of Jin, "Go and play along?"
"How can we turn the tables on them?"
"Well, I haven't decided yet, but I want to teach him a lesson," Tang Zhuyun said. "Despicable!"
"A-Yun, give me some face and leave some work for your man to do, okay?" Prince of Jin chuckled.
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
"Besides, if it were someone else playing along, I'd let it go; but with you, I'm not willing to."
The Prince of Jin looked at her earnestly, his eyes shining brightly. "A-Yun, I'm sorry for dragging you into this, but I'm already reluctant to let go. However, within my limited abilities, I hope to protect you for the rest of your life."
Tang Zhuyun: "You don't have limited abilities, you have super-limitless abilities!"
She exaggeratedly drew a large circle on her chest, and her already tight-fitting jacket swayed even more clearly with the movement.
Her man is the best in the world!
No, it is!
The Prince of Jin's Adam's apple bobbed.
Just as the Prince of Jin was moved and dared not move, Tang Zhuyun suddenly yawned, ruining the atmosphere.
"Since you say it's nothing, then it's nothing. You Zong Heng, trying to scare me. Luckily, I came looking for you."
The Prince of Jin nodded. "A-Yun, you did very well. You should continue to do so in the future."
Tang Zhuyun pointed her index finger at his chest. "Don't flatter me. You should learn from the Jianxian, you know? You have to do the same in the future."
The Prince of Jin smiled and nodded, his eyes filled with pride and doting affection.
She is so incredibly intelligent, straightforward, and innocent; she is finally mine.
"Zong Dog, Zong Dog, Zong Dog, you're keeping me up at night!" Tang Zhuyun stomped her foot and cursed a few more times.
The Prince of Jin said, "I'm starting to regret it..."
"What are you regretting?"
"They didn't break his... third leg!"
Tang Zhuyun was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. "There will be other opportunities in the future, Your Highness, keep up the good work!"
When she smiled, her eyes crinkled into crescents, filled with shattered starlight and his image...
Suddenly, the Prince of Jin couldn't help but say, "A-Yun, let me hug you."
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
The atmosphere was a little strange; both of them remained silent. Tang Zhuyun bit her lip, her earlobes slightly red.
Just as the Prince of Jin was regretting his recklessness and didn't know how to make amends, he heard her scold, "Fool, hurry up!"
