C41 (1/2)

All of the servants in the Residence of Duke Jing were dressed in plain clothes today. Even the usually laughing Zhang Rui hid his expression and stood there sternly.

Yu Yan did not know where they had gone to, so she did not dare to ask too much. Zhang Rui had instructed them not to talk loudly today, so they needed to be more quiet. She even held her breath while she served tea to Su Mu Qing and Jiang Wan Yan.

If someone really came to visit him, he would feel uncomfortable instead.

Jiang Wanyan understood his intentions, but she also felt wronged for him. She clearly had a father, but she lived like a ghost in the mortal world.

The most heartless royal family was the Imperial Consort Shu. How could she have known that she would not be able to remember the day of the memorial when his family was destroyed despite showing such kindness?

”Are you tired?”

Su Mu Qing suddenly asked her. Jiang Wan Yan's train of thoughts was immediately cut off, and she couldn't hear him clearly. She subconsciously nodded her head.

After nodding his head, his mind was still in a muddle. He then saw Su Mu Qing nod his head towards Yu Yan: ”Help Princess Wang Fei rest for a bit, she's tired.”

There was no smile on Su Mu Qing's face, which made the string in Yu Yan's heart tense up. The moment he gave the command, Yu Yan immediately rushed forward to support Jiang Wan Yan: ”Royal Consort.”

Only then did Jiang Wanyan react as she hurriedly said, ”I'm not sleepy, I was just thinking about something just now.”

Su Mu Qing smiled at her and caressed the white flower in her hair. ”Go take a rest. Come find me at the ancestral hall when you wake up.”

She then waved her hand. ”Help Princess Hua-Yang rest.”

He couldn't win against Su Mu Qing, so his tone was a bit hard. It seemed like there was no room for negotiation. Jiang Wan Yan pouted and got up to return to her room.

”Your Highness.” Seeing that Jiang Wanyan had left, Zhang Rui felt it was a little strange. He approached her and whispered, ”Prince, aren't you going to let my wife kneel in the ancestral hall with you?”

Zhang Rui sighed and followed Su Mu Qing out of the main hall. The prince had been like this when he was married, who would have thought that in just a short period of time, the prince would have already pampered his wife?

After returning to her room, Jiang Wanyan still felt that something was amiss. Yu Yan even helped her to sleep as she said, ”What kind of logic is this? Is the prince going out to eat?”

Going out of the manor? To the Drunken Flower Lodge?

Jiang Wanyan felt that that shouldn't be the case. Su Moyu had already told her about Drunken Flower Lodge's identity in the morning, so she wouldn't give up so easily if she were to go to Drunken Flower Lodge.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wanyan felt that it was better not to make wild guesses. Su Mu Qing's mood was heavy today, so it was normal that he wanted to stay for a while. Why did he need to keep guessing here?

After understanding this, Jiang Wan Yan's heart felt a lot more at ease, ”I'll sleep for a while, you should also go sleep for a while, don't wander around in front of him.”

She didn't want anyone in the mansion to gossip that her little girl was keeping an eye on the prince all day long.

Yu Yan agreed, and carefully helped her put down the veil before leaving.

Jiang Wanyan didn't sleep for long. She didn't know what was going on outside, but she felt that it was very noisy. However, when she woke up, other than the sound of the wind, there was nothing else.
