When Lu Linchu and his men arrived at Yurongju, the door of the main house was tightly closed.

"Yunling, open the door quickly."

He shouted inside anxiously.

Apart from Nanny Chang, the only person left in the room was Yun Ling, who was lying on the bed crying sadly.

"Madame Chang, open the door quickly."

Hearing the urging voice coming again, Nanny Chang was about to step forward anxiously, when Yun Ling's trembling voice mixed with moans sounded faintly: "You... are not allowed to let that cheap man in."

"Yunling, stop making trouble and open the door."

"No...open the door."

Nanny Chang stood there in a daze, looking around, apparently at a loss as to what to do.

"boom."

Lu Linchu kicked the door open with a fierce kick.

Nanny Chang was so frightened that she took several steps back and fell to her knees in panic.

Lu Linchu took two steps at a time and walked to the bed, only then did he see the bright red mark on Yun Lingbo's neck. Yun Ling immediately turned around and covered her head tightly with the quilt.

"You don't want to see me, so why are you begging me to come here?"

Lu Linchu listened quietly to the sounds coming from under the quilt, feeling so angry that he had no place to vent.

He first turned around and asked Nanny Chang in a deep voice, "Has the court doctor been here?"

"Your Highness, Miss Yunling said she doesn't want anyone to see her like this."

Nanny Chang prostrated herself on the ground and answered fearfully.

"Go down first."

Lu Linchu had a cold face and dismissed Nanny Chang. Then he slowly sat down beside the bed and tried to pull the quilt.

"Don't touch me."

Yun Ling covered herself in the quilt and said sadly, "I told you that I don't want you to see me like this now."

"Oh? Is he even more embarrassed than the last time in front of the mansion gate?"

The two of them remained in a stalemate for a while. Thinking about the mark he had just seen, Lu Linchu's heart suddenly ached and his whole body softened in an instant.

"Yun Ling, stop making trouble. You have caused such a big disaster. If I don't punish you, my mother will definitely kill you."

Lu Linchu said in detail: "You have been in Yundu City for a long time. You should know that behind You Dian is Han Mao, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department. If he intends to embarrass the palace, we may not be able to return to Liyang City for a while."

After hearing this, Yun Ling lifted the quilt and stared at him blankly: "So you asked someone to beat me with a stick just to protect me?"

"What else?" Lu Linchu smiled helplessly.

"I knew you couldn't let me go."

Yun Ling sat up happily and hugged him tightly.

Lu Linchu looked stunned: "Are you... okay?"

Yun Ling touched her neck and pouted awkwardly, "It does hurt a little, but after hearing what you said just now, I feel much better now."

Lu Linchu felt both angry and amused when he heard this.

He stared at Yun Ling quietly for a moment, then instructed: "Be good and listen, I will ask the court doctor to come and check your injuries."

"Then are you still going to lock me up in this yard alone?"

Thinking back on how she had been alone here for two months, Yun Ling felt scared.

"As long as you don't act up, I naturally have no reason to ground you anymore."

Lu Linchu was worried that she would be upset again, so he patiently advised: "Yunling, just listen to me and stay in Yurongju. Guiyun has never treated you badly. If you really encounter difficulties, you can tell her and she will help you. Why do you always cause trouble for her? Such a big palace depends on her to manage it alone, can't you understand her difficulties?"

"You... care about her so much now?"

Yun Ling felt very sad when she heard this and cursed the man in her heart.

Seeing her solemn expression, Lu Linchu was unwilling to hide it from her anymore and said truthfully, "She is the Crown Prince's Consort that my father and mother married for me. I have to care about her."

"Humph."

Yun Ling was so angry that she sneered continuously and gradually loosened her arms around him.

"What's wrong with you again?" Lu Linchu stared at her anxiously.

"nothing."

Yun Ling forced a smile and said sarcastically, "Yes, she is the eldest daughter of an official family, and His Majesty has granted her marriage. The prince and princess both like her. How can I compare with her?"

Knowing that continuing to make a scene would not change anything, she gathered her emotions, tightly grasped Lu Linchu's slender fingers, and replied very obediently: "Linchu, I won't make a scene anymore. I promise you that when I feel better, I will go to Chuxian Palace to pay my respects and offer her tea, to thank her for her tolerance towards me."

Lu Linchu remained silent, staring at her with a questioning look.

Seeing that he didn't trust her, Yun Ling swore, "I promise, if anything happens again, without your permission, I will never step out of Yurongju again in this life."

After hearing this, Lu Linchu nodded in agreement.

Seeing that his complexion had finally improved, Yun Ling pulled him and began to act coquettishly: "Lin Chu, how is the young master? I haven't seen him for two months. Can you let the young master come back? I want to see him."

"He has just recovered from his illness. Let's wait for a few days."

Lu Linchu carefully touched the scar on her neck and said, "Look at you now. If Chen Er saw you like this, he would be very scared."

Yun Ling thought about it and decided that it was indeed not appropriate to meet the young master at this time.

"OK then."

She requested softly, "Then accompany me to apply the medicine, so I can get better faster."

"Not now. I'll come and keep you company later."

He had just left in a hurry, and now thinking about what happened in Tingsongyuan, Lu Linchu felt a little guilty.

"Aunt Ji just got pregnant, and I was only concerned about coming to see you. I'm afraid I've disappointed her."

"That bitch...she got pregnant so soon?"

Yun Ling only felt a thunderclap in front of her eyes, and was unable to adapt for a moment.

It has only been two months, but she feels that the world outside has changed dramatically.

"Linchu, who do you care about?"

She looked at Lu Linchu in great frustration, tears in her eyes: "You care about this one moment, and that the next. You said before that you would respect the Crown Prince's wife, but now you are afraid of even a lowly maid chilling her heart. Will you care about more people in the future? Then what about me?"

Lu Linchu himself was a little confused about this question at the moment.

Ever since Jiu Niang left, he thought his heart was completely dead.

It was not until he met Yunling that he found hope in life again, and he was determined to spend the rest of his life with her.

Even if the Crown Prince's wife entered the mansion, he was still determined to protect her to the end.

But she disappointed herself time and time again, and almost put her entire family into danger.

If the Crown Prince's wife had not been there to plan these two times, he really couldn't imagine how the situation would have ended.

"Yunling, I am the prince of Liyang Palace. I shoulder the fate of the Ye and Lu families. I can no longer be selfish and only think about you and me. But I can assure you that as long as you are willing, the position of the prince's second concubine will belong to you."

Lu Linchu said solemnly: "And I also said that as long as you behave yourself, there will always be a place for you in the Liyang Palace."

Yun Ling felt that he had completely changed and started crying sadly again.

But no matter how much she cried this time, Lu Linchu was not prepared to stay to comfort her. He just said, "I'll ask the court doctor and Nanny Chang to come in and apply medicine on you."

After saying this, he stood up and left resolutely.

With tearful eyes, Yun Ling secretly clenched her fists as she watched the tall figure gradually disappear.

"I will never be a concubine."

She knew clearly in her heart that once she compromised and became the Crown Prince's Second Consort, she would never have the chance to become the Crown Prince's Consort from now on.

She has to take back everything that belongs to her in her own way.

Young Master, she wants to hold him tightly.

Moreover, there should be only one young master, Lu Qingchen, in this mansion.
