After forcing Shen Xixi to kneel for an hour, Li Wanrou called the person up and took him back to Qiushui Pavilion.

"Mom, why are you doing this today?" Seeing that only Li Wanrou and herself were left in the room, Fu Youxing asked.

In the past, no matter how much her mother disliked Xi'er, she would never show it and make Xi'er so embarrassed.

"Okay, the emperor is now suspicious of the Fu family, and your father is ready to join forces with the Shen family." He asked someone to bring hot tea to Fu Youxing, and the sternness on Li Wanrou's face disappeared.

As early as on the way back to Beijing, Fu Minghe sent a letter to her, informing Li Wanrou of the news of joining forces with Shen Qing.

As Fu Minghe's wife who had shared the same bed for many years, Li Wanrou naturally knew what she needed to do.

"This...that Xi'er..." Hearing what his mother meant, Fu Youxing froze in the yard, his hand holding the teacup trembling.

"Don't worry, when everything settles, Shen Xixi will still be yours, it's just a title." Seeing the pity in Fu Youxing's eyes, Li Wanrou smiled and promised.

"This……"

"Our Marquis Mansion promised to give Shen Rou the position of head wife." Seeing that Fu Youxing was still unwilling, Li Wanrou said sternly.

"But... Xi'er is the wife of my Ming Media, how can..." Fu Youxing raised his head and subconsciously retorted to his mother's words.

"Without the orders of parents and the words of a matchmaker, how can it be regarded as marrying a wife?" Amused by Fu Youxing's words, Li Wanrou picked up the tea on the side to moisten her throat.

"But it was my father who ordered me to do it..." Seeing the firm look in his mother's eyes, Fu Youxing was shocked and knew that his mother was serious.

However, it was clearly his father who asked him to bring Xi'er back in the first place, wasn't it?

"Always, the matter has been decided, the draft will be held soon, Mingzhu will be sent to the palace then, mother will be busy recently, you should keep Shen Rou's side stable, and when the work is over, prepare for your marriage. "

After explaining everything, Li Wanrou breathed a long sigh of relief, with a gentle smile on her face. Then she called the servants and asked how the dishes were for tonight's dinner.

The Marquis said in the letter that he would come to Rongan Hall to see her in the evening.

"Go back." Seeing that his resistance was fruitless, Fu Youxing stood up, bowed and resigned, and left Rong'an Hall alone.

In the yard, the sky gradually darkened, and the servants turned on the lamps. People walked around and were busy, with smiles on their faces. They all bowed and avoided him when they saw him.

"Third Master."

"Third Master, go slowly."

Nodding towards the servant, Fu Youxing walked quickly out of the door.

The weather was slowly getting colder, and the bleak wind carried gusts of chill. Fu Youxing tightened his clothes and walked forward aimlessly.

"Husband, are you back? Are you hungry?" Unknowingly, Fu Youxing returned to Qiushui Pavilion. As soon as he entered the courtyard, a soft call came to his ears, making him raise his head.

Under the dark night, the lights in Qiushui Pavilion were bright. Shen Xixi was wearing an emerald green dress, standing at the door and looking at him from a distance.

"One thing, is Xi'er waiting for me?" Looking at his wife standing by the door, a smile appeared on Fu Youxing's gentle face.

"Well, Yinshuang, let's set the dinner." Seeing Fu Youxing's disappointment, Shen Xixi smiled softly and asked Yin Shuang to set the dinner.

"Xi'er, if I do something to hurt you out of necessity, will you blame me?" At the dinner table, Fu Youxing put a piece of salted crispy chicken in Shen Xixi's bowl, looking at her with watery eyes.

"No, Xi'er will never blame her husband." Shen Xixi didn't know what kind of medicine Fu Youxing sold in the gourd. Shen Xixi took a bite of the salted crispy chicken in the bowl and smiled at him.

It doesn't matter, I will get back what you owe me little by little, so... I don't blame you!

"Okay, Xi'er, don't worry. Whatever I owe you, my husband will definitely compensate you in the future." Fu Youxing promised seriously as he put his big hand on Shen Xixi's pink and smooth cheek.

He secretly made a decision in his heart, Wuhen was right, this Marquis Mansion and even that position must be his!

Because of Li Wanrou's order, Fu Youxing got up to leave after dinner and could not spend the night in Qiushui Pavilion.

After seeing Fu Youxing out, he looked up and met Cui Qiao who came to pay his respects.

"Greetings to Third Master, greetings to Third Grandma!" Seeing the two of them, Fu Cuiqiao held her waist and saluted them, and looked at Fu Youxing quietly with her eyes.

"Get up, you're feeling heavy, you don't have to salute in the future." Looking at Cuiqiao's bulging belly, Shen Xixi stepped forward to help her up.

"It just so happens that the third master is leaving, let's see him off together." Shen Xixi said softly, pulling her to Fu Youxing's side.

"How are you?" Even if he didn't like Cui Qiao in his heart, now that he saw Cui Qiao's protruding belly and thought of his own flesh and blood inside, Fu Youxing couldn't help but soften his tone.

"Go back to Third Master, the child is very well behaved." Hearing Third Master's concern for her, Cui Qiao was very excited and her eyes were red.

It has been a long time since I saw the third master and heard his gentle words.

"Well, listen carefully to Third Grandma, I won't treat you badly in the future." Looking at Cuiqiao's rounded chin, Fu Youxing knew that Xi'er took good care of her, and cast a grateful look at Shen Xixi.

It was getting late, so after giving Cui Qiao a few words, Fu Youxing walked away.

"Go back." When the person disappeared, Shen Xixi reminded Cui Qiao, who was staring blankly at Fu Youxing's back.

"Yes." After hearing her words, Cui Qiao suddenly came back to her senses, looked at Shen Xixi's clear eyes, and quickly lowered her eyes.

Ignoring Cui Qiao's thoughts, Shen Xixi turned around and returned to her room.

"By the way, Cui Qiao, I remember that you had a cousin who was helping in the house before. Is he still there now?" Before entering the room, Shen Xixi stopped and looked at Cui Qiao who was still standing there, and asked softly, There was a nonchalance in his tone.

"...Go...go back to the village. There is something wrong at home." Cuiqiao grabbed the hem of her clothes tightly, her face turned pale, and she looked like a ghost in the night.

"Oh, what a shame." With a sigh, Shen Xixi walked into the house and closed the door.

Outside the door, Cui Qiao's back was soaked with cold sweat. She bit her lower lip with her teeth and looked at the closed door, clenching her fists.

Does Shen Xixi... know?

……

In Wuhuan Palace, Ji Wuhen looked at the rewards all over the palace and said nothing.

"The emperor said that the princess was frightened. These gadgets were given to the princess to relieve her boredom." Bai Maonian on the side said with a smile when he saw that the princess was not in a good mood.

"Well, let me tell my father that I will go over tomorrow to express my gratitude." Ji Wuhen glanced coolly at the flattering Bai Maonian, and then hummed and turned around to enter the inner hall.

"...Uh, old slave, please retire." He saluted in the direction Princess Changning was leaving, and dissatisfaction appeared on Bai Maonian's face.

This is the first time that someone has been so disrespectful to him.

"Please give me tea, father-in-law." It wasn't until he left the palace gate that the leading palace maid handed him the tray in her hand with a smile. Bai Maonian's face didn't smile again.

I saw that the tray was filled with gold, which was really dazzling.

"Thank you, princess." Taking the tray with a smile, Eunuch Bai handed the whisk to the little eunuch beside him and left.

"Master, Mr. Li is kneeling in front of the palace and begging the emperor to thoroughly investigate the murder of Mr. Liu's family!"
