Xuanyuan Qing was speechless and silently got off the bed, took out her clothes and put them on.

By the time Lan Jinyan had tidied up her clothes and got out of the quilt, a set of underskirts had been neatly placed on the bed.

"What are you looking for?"

Xuanyuan Qing was already dressed, and when he saw that she was still turning over the quilt on the bed, he couldn't help but ask.

Lan Jinyan shook the quilt several times, but he didn't find Zhen Xiangge's Xiaoyi, whom he disliked last night.

"Why can't I find that little coat?"

It's so expensive. My brother doesn't want her.

Xuanyuan Qing's eyes flickered slightly and she cleared her throat, "Nothing will be lost in the house. Today's breakfast has fresh and delicious shrimp dumplings. Make sure you don't eat them quickly. They won't taste good if they get cold."

When she heard that there were fresh shrimp dumplings, Lan Jinyan didn't care about the expensive coat. She put her skirt on her body and urged Hongying and others to come in and wash her up.

"Girl, please slow down."

In the front hall, the speed at which Hongying laid out the dishes could not keep up with her eating speed. She devoured the two plates of shrimp dumplings in a short time.

"What about brother?"

Lan Jinyan touched her belly with satisfaction.

She had finished eating, but her brother hadn't come over yet.

Hongying glanced at the door and shook his head slightly, "I don't know, my servant, but the secret guards in the mansion were in a hurry to find the second prince. It must be something urgent."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Just as he was talking, Xuanyuan Qing walked in with a tense expression.

He sat down without saying a word, glanced at the food on the table, picked up his chopsticks and ate something casually.

"Brother, the kitchen is still heating up the shrimp dumplings for you. Now let's have them delivered."

Lan Jinyan was still immersed in the delicious shrimp dumplings and didn't notice his negative mood.

"No need."

The words are concise and to the point, with no unnecessary words at all.

Being used to her moodiness, Lan Jinyan didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Brother, Mr. Lan and I went out yesterday. We met two bad guys who had cheated on me before. They were brought back by me. Hong Ying interrogated them. Guess what, Lan Shu and Mr. Lan were their employers one after another. .”

Lan Jinyan added a spoonful of porridge to his bowl and raised her head, waiting for his reward.

To his surprise, Xuanyuan Qing downplayed the matter.

"Well, the secret guard in the mansion told me just now that those two people should be locked up for now."

"that's it?"

Lan Jinyan asked uncertainly.

Why is this different from what she expected?

"It's Lan Shu, aren't you going to say something?"

Not giving up, she snatched the chopsticks from his hand and stared into his eyes.

After being robbed of her chopsticks, Xuanyuan Qing lost the desire to eat. He took a steamed bun and put it into her bowl.

"Good boy, don't make trouble. Eat slowly. I have something else to do."

As he spoke, he prepared to stand up.

Lan Jinyan was not willing to give up and opened her hand to block his way.

"Brother, where were you last night? I'm asking, who did you have dinner with last night?"

She looked at him nervously, praying that the word "Lanshu" would never come out of his mouth.

Xuanyuan Qing frowned slightly, but still answered patiently: "What's wrong with some friends from the DPRK and China?"

"Is there Lan Shu?"

she asked worriedly.

Xuanyuan Qing thought for a while, decided not to lie to her, and nodded gently, "She is here too."

He and his friends were having dinner in Shilixiang, and happened to meet Lan Shu. She insisted on sharing a table, so he couldn't drive her away.

Lan Shu didn't lie, they really had dinner together last night.

Lan Jinyan's face turned pale instantly.

"Yan Yan, what's wrong with you?" Xuanyuan Qing noticed that her mood was not right, and raised his hand to support her.

Lan Jinyan slowly took two steps back, avoiding his touch.

"Let's eat. Why did you give her Zhenxiang Pavilion's clothes?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. Lan Jinyan's eyes turned red, and after a while, tears came out of her eyes. "If you don't like what I gave you, do you have to give it to me yourself?"

Thinking of how he pinched her because of Zhenxiangge's things last night, she hated Zhenxiangge to death.

If she had the chance, she would burn Zhenxiang Pavilion on fire.

"Who said I gave her clothes, Yan Yan, even if I like you again, I can't help you being arrogant in front of me!"

Xuanyuan Qing's patience has reached its limit.

She lets her mess around with little things.

But that doesn't mean he will condone it without principle.

"I still have something to do, so I won't be back for dinner."

After saying these words, he turned his head to look at the red shadow standing beside him, his eyes moved slightly, and he said coldly: "Follow me."

Hongying was secretly surprised.

He glanced at Lan Jinyan who was stunned on the spot, not daring to delay, and quickly followed.

In the front hall, Lan Jinyan stood still holding the steamed bun in her hand.

After an unknown amount of time, Uncle Zhong brought someone in to clear the table. Seeing her sad look, he sighed.

"Hey, Miss Yan, don't take it too seriously. The Second Prince is not usually like this."

Uncle Zhong has never been in love and doesn't know how to persuade her.

"Then how is he usually?" Lan Jinyan's eyes gradually focused and she came back to her senses.

He moved his stiff body, frowned, and let out a cry of pain.

"Ouch. It's numb. It's numb. Uncle Zhong, please help me."

Uncle Zhong helped her sit on the chair and motioned to the little maid next to her to come over and rub her legs.

"Miss Yan, are you feeling better?"

"Hey, why have you been standing all this time? Now I'm fine. My legs are stiff when I stand. I'm the only one who suffers."

Uncle Zhong's sighs became louder each time.

Lan Jinyan grimaced, "Uncle Zhong, don't sigh. I didn't know. If I had known, I would have been sitting in a daze."

"You haven't answered my question yet. How is my brother usually doing?"

My impression is that my brother is not easy to talk to. Is there a side that I don't know about?

"Oh, the second prince is usually..." Uncle Zhong thought about his words, "The second prince is not a patient person. He has been patient enough with you today. No, this old slave is not like this." I mean, girl, don’t think too much about it.”

"Puch." The little maid who was helping Lan Jinyan pinch her legs couldn't help but laugh.

Uncle Zhong has never been married in his life, and he has never even touched a woman's hand. It would be good if he could comfort people without making them angry to death.

"Uncle Zhong, are you saying that I don't know how to appreciate others?" Lan Jinyan sat listlessly on the chair.

Now calm down and think about it carefully. My brother seems not to be in a very good mood today.

"I don't know what's going on. As soon as I heard that my brother had contact with Lan Shu, I became extremely nervous."

Especially when her brother knew that Lan Shu had ordered people to harm her, but he remained unmoved and did everything perfunctorily, she felt very aggrieved.

"Girl, don't listen to this old slave's nonsense. This is not what I mean. However, when it comes to the Saint, I have to say something fair for the Second Prince."

Uncle Zhong knew that he was stupid and couldn't do anything to comfort people, but that didn't stop him from telling what he knew.

"Everyone in the capital knows that the Saint is attracted to the second prince, but our second prince doesn't like her at all and has always ignored her great attentiveness."
