Chapter 103 Rong Zhen's face flushed
Yun Qi's momentum weakened. "I didn't say anything."

Yun Yueshan could tell that Yun Wei did not welcome them, so he stood up and said, "Take care of yourself. We're leaving now. If you need anything, you can come back to the Yun family to find us anytime."

Xu was somewhat reluctant to leave, as she had many things she wanted to say, but seeing that her daughter did not try to stop her, she had no choice but to follow her.

As Qi was leaving, she couldn't help but say to Yun Wei, "Come visit the Yun family when you have time."

Yunwei paused for a moment, intending to return the things she had given her earlier, but after thinking about it, she decided against it.

She can exchange it for something else and give it to Xia-jie another day.

After thinking about it, she responded faintly, "Mm."

Although her tone was cold, Qi was very happy.

"Then let's go."

Yunwei nodded, but did not see them off.

Not long after the Yun family left, Sang Qing returned from the garden.

Seeing that the Yun family had all left, he didn't ask any more questions. He only said, "Princess, the red dragon eye has been placed properly. I have also told the servants in the manor about the things that need to be told. If there is anything you don't understand, you can call someone to talk to me at any time."

Yunwei nodded. "Eunuch Sang is very kind."

Sang Qing smiled and scratched his head, "You're too kind, County Princess. We're all family."

Upon hearing this, Yunwei looked at him suspiciously.

Why is he being so informal?
Sang Qing realized he had let something slip and chuckled, "I meant that the county princess saved my master and is his great benefactor, as well as the great benefactor of the entire Regent's Palace. In Sang Qing's heart, the county princess is just like one of my own."

Yun Wei remained noncommittal, and instead asked, "What is your master doing today?"

Sang Qing's eyes lit up. Good heavens, the county princess actually took the initiative to ask about her master's whereabouts, could it be...?

Suppressing his excitement, he hurriedly said, "My lord went to inspect the military camp today and will not return until tomorrow afternoon. If the county princess wishes to see my lord, she can go directly to the Regent's Palace tomorrow."

Yun Wei nodded thoughtfully.

……

The following afternoon, at the Regent's Palace.

As soon as Rong Zhen returned from outside, Sang Qing excitedly went to greet him, "Master, the Yun family will be coming to see you in a little while."

Rong Zhen paused, "Looking for me? Does she want something?"

Sang Qing smiled broadly, "It should be nothing, she just wants to see Master."

A look of surprise appeared on Rong Zhenjun's face.

He pursed his lips, and said uncertainly, "She wants... to see me?"

"Yes." Sang Qing nodded firmly.

"I understand," Rong Zhen said calmly, then looked down at his clothes as if remembering something.

Because of his patrol duties, he was wearing a tight-fitting outfit, and he was covered in dust from riding back all the way.

He frowned and ordered, "Prepare water."

Sang Qing immediately nodded, "Master should indeed take a proper bath. You are covered in dust. It would be too abrupt for you to meet Princess Yun and leave her with a bad impression."

Rong Zhen's handsome face froze for a moment, then he glanced at him indifferently, "You're talking more and more."

Sang Qing was startled and hurriedly said, "This servant will prepare water immediately." After saying that, he ran off in a flash.

Rong Zhen stood there for a while, then strode towards his bedroom.

……

When Yunwei arrived, Sang Qing was respectfully waiting by the door.

Upon seeing her arrive, Sang Qing immediately went to greet her, her face beaming with joy. "The county princess has arrived! The master has been waiting for you for a long time. I will now lead you there."

"Okay." Yun Wei nodded.

Sang Qing led her to the garden. After walking for a short while, they stopped by a pond.

Yunwei spotted the man sitting by the pond fishing at a glance.

The man, contrary to his usual heavy clothing, wore a moon-white robe today, and his jet-black hair was let down, draped over his shoulders, which made his originally stern and cold face look softer and more gentle, like a piece of warm jade.

Yunwei was secretly amazed.

Why is this man dressed so extravagantly today?

Rong Zhen keenly noticed her scrutiny, and his handsome face inexplicably flushed. His slender fingers, gripping the fishing rod, unconsciously tightened.

"Your Highness, the fish has taken the bait."

Just then, a woman's clear and melodious voice suddenly rang in his ears, and at the same time, a delicate fragrance wafted into his nose. Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he saw a snow-white hand on the fishing rod he was holding.

The next moment, the woman lifted the fishing rod with her hand, and then a lively fish was pulled out of the water by the fishing line.

Seeing this, Rong Zhen snapped out of his daze, stretched out his arm, pulled the fishing line, and put the fish into the bucket next to him.

"This fish is huge! Master is truly amazing!" Sang Qing praised from the side.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei subconsciously glanced at the pool in front of her.

The pond wasn't very big, but the water was crystal clear, and you could see quite a few fish in it.

Yunwei guessed that the purpose of this pond was for Rong Zhen to fish.

"With so many fish, it should be easy to catch them," she couldn't help but say.

Sang Qing choked for a moment, glanced at his master's expression, and tried to make amends: "Although there are quite a few fish, it's not easy to catch them without patience. The fish in this pond are very clever."

Rong Zhen handed the fishing rod to Yun Wei, "If you're interested, you can try fishing."

Yunwei reached out and took it, "Then I'll give it a try."

She didn't sit down; she directly baited the fishing line and then threw it into the pool.

Rong Zhen sat down again and watched the woman fishing.

Shortly after, the fishing line moved, and Yunwei immediately lifted the fishing rod upwards.

A fish leaped out of the water, splashing water everywhere.

"Princess Rong'an, what excellent skills you have!" Sang Qing praised at the opportune moment, then stepped forward eagerly and untied the fish for her.

Yun Wei glanced at Rong Zhen without saying a word, but her meaning was obvious.

The fish in this pond are very easy to catch.

Rong Zhen coughed lightly and asked, "You've come to see me, is there something you need?" His dark eyes held a hint of expectation.

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you for the red dragon eye, Your Highness. However, I cannot accept this." With that, she took out the box containing the house deed and key and handed it back to him.

Rong Zhen glanced at it but didn't take it. "Don't you like it?"

"It's too expensive," Yunwei said honestly.

She wasn't that greedy. The other party had already given her ten thousand taels of silver, then bestowed upon her the title of county princess, and even gifted her such expensive fish. It would be unreasonable for her to ask for the house again.

Rong Zhen saw through her thoughts at a glance and said calmly, "Do you think my life isn't worth this?"

Yun Wei was taken aback. "That's not what I meant."

“Since it’s not, then accept it. I don’t give things away easily, and once I’ve given them, there’s no reason to take them back,” Rong Zhen said firmly.

Yun Wei frowned; this man was far too domineering.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see that house." After saying that, Rong Zhen turned around and walked outside.

Yunwei had no choice but to follow.

"Master, what should we do with these fish?" Sang Qing asked hurriedly.

"To make soup," Rong Zhen said succinctly.
