Yusui Chang'an

After seeing off Taoist Li, Lin Jinyan asked about Lin Jinyun and learned that he had indeed gone out to see Zhou Yuexue get married and had accompanied her for a long distance. She could not help but sneer:

"The people who kidnapped him have already told him that they were hired by his cousin. He died once before, and not only did they help to conceal the truth, they also went to see him off at the wedding. They are truly infatuated."

Never sleep.

Another infatuated man sat in front of a young woman, wearing a cold and distant smile, brewing tea smoothly, but his heart was full of resentment:

Why is this idiot staring at me? What's so funny? I wonder if she will misunderstand and think too much...

Thinking of this, An Zhixian was completely distracted. He was afraid that Lin Jinyan would overthink it, but he was also afraid that Lin Jinyan would not think about it at all...

Miss Jiang didn't know that An Zhixian was worried about another woman, so she started chatting with An Zhixian over tea.

Before they had a few words to chat, Zheng Xiangheng came. An Zhixian excused himself and left without waiting for Miss Jiang's consent.

The master was treated so coldly that Miss Jiang's maid was so angry that she called An Zhixian an ungrateful person. When Zhu Qing heard this, her eyes dimmed and she politely sent him away.

An Zhixian pushed open the door of the private room. Zheng Xiangheng had just washed his hands and had not yet sat down. He seemed to have not expected An Zhixian to come so quickly, with a hint of surprise on his face:
"I heard from the guys that Brother An was busy today, but was I interrupted by you?"

An Zhixian had a look of relief on his face:

"It's hard to find a true friend. You're here for a serious matter. Come and sit down."

royal palace.

As soon as Chu Chengping opened his eyes, he saw Ming Fei's concerned expression. He comforted her softly for a long while before persuading Ming Fei, who had been waiting for half a day, to have dinner. After he could no longer see Ming Fei's back, the gentle smile on Chu Chengping's face gradually dimmed and froze:

Although he had never been valued by the emperor, he had never been reprimanded. The emperor could barely be considered a kind father to him. Although his several royal brothers did not love him, they at least treated him with brotherly love.

He always thought that he was treated with favor, so he did not feel too much urgency and pressure. He only yearned for the mountains and fields and was distressed by the lack of freedom as a member of the royal family.

But just now... his once kind father and brother not only had no trust in him, but also suspected and scolded him as if he was a traitor to the country, as if everything in the past was an illusion and they were not blood relatives.

He didn't even dare to think about it. If he really did do those things, with his father's wrath towards him just now, what kind of punishment would he, his mother, and the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion have to endure...

When he heard Lin Jinyan's message saying that he would be scolded, he didn't take it seriously at the time and was immersed in the joy of asking for marriage. Thinking about it now, it seems ridiculous as if it was a lifetime ago.

Why did he think that his father would not be willing to scold him? Was it because of his uncle's kindness in protecting him with his life? Or was it because of the father-son relationship they had known for many years? That man was the emperor, how could a member of the royal family expect such a father-son relationship? Didn't his grandfather and mother teach him this when he was young?
Thinking of Lin Jinyan, Chu Chengping suddenly understood Lin Jinyan's intention. She had obviously known about Feng Xun's affairs for a long time, and also knew that his father was wary of the Gu family, so she asked him to just say that she was a girl from the Lin family...

Thinking of this, Chu Chengping looked at the top of the tent and smiled bitterly:
Lin Jinyan, you have seen all this clearly, so you deliberately let me experience it for myself, right? See with your own eyes how my father scolded me in the most fierce tone, how my brother wanted to throw dirty water on me and kill me...

Although Chu Chengping was sad, he was also relieved. Since Lin Jinyan knew about Feng Xun's situation, he thought Feng Xun would be fine. (End of this chapter)
