Tang Zhuyun wanted to die.
Why did she misunderstand again?
But is it her fault?
Do two people even have a chance to chat under the covers these days?
"You missed me?" the Prince of Jin whispered in her ear. "You'll need to rest and recuperate in a few days."
It's heartbreaking to think about how much blood was lost.
Tang Zhuyun: "... Thank you."
"Wait, let me try." Prince of Jin said, moving the footstool aside and crawling under the bed.
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
Your Highness, you are now legally entitled to remain under the bed.
Then a sound of something hard colliding suddenly came from under the bed, followed by the Prince of Jin saying, "A-Yun, you come too."
Tang Zhuyun followed his example and crawled under the bed, then saw... a large hole?
To be precise, it's a large, glowing hole?
The Prince of Jin had already jumped down and was reaching out to pull her up.
"The other day they dug a tunnel for me, I was planning to sneak over to see you when you went back to your parents' house, to give you a surprise..."
I didn't expect to need it so soon.
Tang Zhuyun: Are you sure it's a surprise and not a shock?
In the dead of night, while I was sound asleep, a man crawled out from under my bed?
Smash his dog head!
Tang Zhuyun jumped down and asked, "The other side doesn't lead to our room, does it?"
Prince of Jin: "Intelligent."
Tang Zhuyun: Hehe.
The two quickly returned to the Prince's mansion and then quietly went to Nanny Rong's courtyard.
Nanxing was taking care of things inside the house; there was no one else around.
Even with her hands and feet bound, Nanny Rong was still muttering incantations.
Nanxing said in a low voice, "It's always like this. I slept for more than an hour this afternoon before it quieted down a bit."
Tang Zhuyun asked the Prince of Jin to leave.
The Prince of Jin glanced at Nanxing, then went outside.
Tang Zhuyun sat down on the embroidered stool next to Nanny Rong, looking at her with a half-smile, and said, "Granny, do you think my relationship with the Prince has been affected?"
Nanxing said, "His Highness is very worried, but he has always been very caring towards His Highness."
Tang Zhuyun touched her dragon ball ring and continued slowly, "Granny, you overestimate yourself. You're just a nanny. Even if you really die, does the Prince expect me to be buried with you?"
"Look at Your Highness, would you really let me suffer even the slightest grievance?"
"As for him, he'll probably be having sleepless nights."
"By scheming against the child you raised, keeping him up at night, did the nanny achieve her goal?"
"I don't know which former master of the Xiao Family caused your personality to change so drastically, but remember, he was the one who wanted to harm the Prince."
Nanny Rong's expression changed slightly.
It was all an act, after all.
Tang Zhuyun's guess was confirmed.
After changing Nanny Rong's dressing, she said coldly, "The Prince said he'll send you to a courtyard in the outskirts of the capital in a few days. Perhaps that will be a relief for you."
A brief change appeared in Nanny Rong's empty eyes.
"Look, everyone says he's heartless; but while you don't think of him, he always thinks of you. He hasn't asked you a single question, yet he tries to put you in a difficult position, hoping only that you can live out your days in peace."
"You should be proud; your years of hard work have not been in vain."
"But think about it too, wouldn't the person you're willing to risk your life to protect possibly harm the prince?"
"No, that won't happen!" said Nanny Rong.
Finally, they've stopped pretending?
Tang Zhuyun sneered, "I hope you're right."
Prince of Jin truly never uttered a word in front of Nanny Rong.
He knew Nanny Rong.
Nanny Rong was stubborn; once she made up her mind, nothing anyone else could say would change it.
She's not even afraid of death, so what else could she possibly say?
A few days later, as Nanny Rong's wounds began to heal, Prince of Jin secretly sent her to the estate.
Meanwhile, rumors were spreading throughout the capital.
--The Consort of the Prince of Jin had a conflict with the old nanny who served the Prince of Jin. It is said that the old nanny was driven to her death. In a fit of anger, the Prince of Jin sent the Consort of the Prince of Jin back to her parents' home.
Before the Tang Family could even do anything, that Little Conqueror of the Silver Spear from the Xue Family almost demolished the Prince's mansion.
However, Xue Lie is currently eating roasted chestnuts in Tang Zhuyun's courtyard, complaining as he eats.
"You're all pretending to be ignorant, tricking me into going to your door to fight! How could you be so dishonest!"
Tang Zhuyun couldn't help but laugh.
Xiu'er said, "Fourth Uncle, we're just waiting for you to make a scene. It's all thanks to you making a scene, otherwise, would so many people know about it now?"
Xue Lie: "Sister, do you think I was helpful?"
"It helped a lot, it helped a lot." Tang Zhuyun nodded vigorously. "It was a huge help."
Xue Lie said smugly, "Whatever, we've already done it. If there's something wrong, we'll correct it; if not, we'll strive to do better."
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
Are you talking about yourself?
It seems like you were the one who got beaten by the Prince of Jin.
Xue Lie said that after having a good meal here, he could also go to the Marquis of Pingyang's Residence for a good beating.
Wasn't the handkerchief the trigger for this whole thing?
If Qin Li doesn't cause trouble, Nanny Rong won't make things difficult for her sister.
At least that's what Xue Lie thought, and many others thought the same.
Tang Zhuyun sighed, "If you hit me again, how can I face my second aunt?"
Recently, Lady Deng has been asking around to find him a wife, but now it seems no one dares to marry their daughter to him.
Xue Lie: "Fine, I won't marry her then. Who cares? I stood up for my sister, so she'll start hitting women? Someone with that kind of brain is better off without."
Xiu'er: "Fourth Uncle is right!"
Xue Lie: "Let's not talk about my business, sister. Why don't you take this opportunity to make this a real relationship?"
Tang Zhuyun looked completely bewildered. "How did this charade become real?"
"Leave the Prince of Jin!"
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
No, they are quite harmonious, in every respect.
"Mother, a kite!" Yanran suddenly shouted, pointing at the goldfish kite in the sky.
Tang Zhuyun smiled and said, "It's windy today, perfect for flying kites. I have a beautiful girl kite in my room, would you like to fly that, or should I have someone go and buy another one?"
Yanran said, "No, Mother, I didn't mean to fly a kite. What I meant was, that goldfish kite is mine!"
Tang Zhuyun: "Huh?"
Yanran was furious. "They dare to touch my things while I'm not in the manor! Jiaojiao, let's go!"
After saying that, she climbed onto Jiaojiao and rode on Jiaojiao's back without any apparent awkwardness as they went out.
Xue Lie was completely stunned.
That's so cool!
"Sister, where did this tiger come from? Can I borrow it to play with for a few days?"
Tang Zhuyun: "... If you're not afraid it will bite you, then borrow it from Yanran."
Xue Lie said he was still a little scared.
However, he plans to reserve a tiger cub and raise it himself.
Tang Zhuyun: "Then you should raise a tigress first."
We also need to make sure that Jiaojiao and it can interact effectively.
I wonder if Jiaojiao has become effeminate...
Xiu'er stamped her foot and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to help Yanran!"
