Ji Huaian sneered when he heard this. He had underestimated Fang Xuchuan's cruelty, but this Mrs. Fang was probably not an ordinary person either.

Ji Huaian stood up with a hint of sarcasm on his face, and said in a flat voice, "Since you live in the mansion, how can you not go to pay your respects when the mistress passes away?" Then he stood up and walked out of the house.

Qing Fan looked at the flower on his head and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Before he could open his mouth, Ji Huaian opened the door and saw Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou was standing under the gardenia tree in front of the door with a food box in her hand. When she heard the door open, she turned around and met Ji Huaian's eyes.

When Ji Huaian saw her, he paused for a moment and walked towards her. This was the first time that Jiang Rou came to the study to find him.

As soon as he approached Jiang Rou, Ji Huaian asked, "Why don't you go in and wait here?", and then he took the food box from Jiang Rou's hand very smoothly.

When Jiang Rou saw the flower on his head, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she said to him, "Fuyun said that the prince was discussing matters with Lord Qingfan, and I was afraid of disturbing the prince's peace."

Seeing her cheeks flushed slightly due to the heat, Ji Huaian frowned slightly and instructed Jiang Rou, "Just knock on the door when you come next time, I won't disturb you." His eyebrows and eyes were gentle and his expression was serious.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou smiled and nodded slightly, then said to him, "Your Highness has not eaten much for breakfast, so I made some food." Her tone was gentle and her eyes were warm.

Seeing that she cared about him so much, Ji Huaian's eyes moved slightly, and his hand holding the food box tightened slightly. His expression suddenly softened, and with a smile on his lips, he said gently to Jiang Rou, "Okay".

Seeing Qing Fan not far behind Ji Huaian, Jiang Rou looked puzzled and asked, "Is the prince going out?"

Seeing Ji Huaian nod, Jiang Rou lowered her eyes with a slight flash, then looked up and asked, "Why did the prince go out? Is he in danger? When can he come back?" She asked several questions in a row, with deep concern in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ji Huaian patiently answered one by one, "There is no danger. Mrs. Fang passed away and went to pay her respects. There is no need to worry." Ji Huaian's voice was gentle. Seeing that Jiang Rou was so worried about him, he spoke to comfort her.

Jiang Rou seemed to be slightly relieved when she heard that, and then when she saw the flower hairpin on Ji Huaian's head, she said, "Let me help the prince take the flower off." Only then did Ji Huaian realize that he still had the flower on his head that Jiang Rou had put on for him this morning.

Yu Li Buhe went to pay his respects with flowers on his head, but Ji Huaian would feel reluctant to take off the flowers, after all, this was the first time that Jiang Rou put flowers in his hair.

Jiang Rou was a little surprised to see him remain silent, as if she didn't expect Ji Huaian to love beauty so much. Jiang Rou smiled slightly and said to Ji Huaian, "If the prince wants to wear flowers in his hair in the future, I will wear flowers for him every day." Her voice was gentle as if she was coaxing a child.

Hearing her tone, Ji Huaian knew that Jiang Rou had misunderstood, but when he heard her say that she pinned flowers for him every day, Ji Huaian nodded without explaining.

Qingfan, who was standing not far away, saw his own prince lowering his head obediently. Miss Jiang took off the flower on the prince's head with a faint smile on her face. She seemed to say something and the reluctance on his face faded away, replaced by a faint smile.

Qing Fan rubbed his eyes when he saw this. He felt like he was hallucinating. Was this man in front of him the expressionless prince of his family?

When he came to his senses, he saw his own prince and Miss Jiang coming together. One was tall, the other was petite, one was strong, the other was gentle. They looked a perfect match no matter how you looked at them. Thinking about this, Qingfan felt a rare excitement in his heart.

He bowed slightly to Jiang Rou and called her "Miss Jiang", his voice more respectful than ever before. After all, this was his future boss.

Seeing his respectful attitude, Jiang Rou was flattered. She waved her hands repeatedly and hid behind Ji Huaian.

Seeing this, Ji Huaian coughed lightly. Qing Fan received the hint from Ji Huaian and returned to his previous appearance. Ji Huaian gave Jiang Rou a soothing look, telling her not to be afraid.

He turned to Qingfan and said, "Go find a veil." Qingfan was a little confused but understood when he saw Jiang Rou. He had heard about Jiang Rou from Fuyun. The prince was planning to take Miss Jiang with him.

In the main hall of the Fang Mansion, a white sail was hung on the door and a coffin was placed in the center of the hall. Bursts of crying could be heard from inside the house. Fang Xuchuan knelt beside the coffin and threw paper money into the brazier with a dazed look on his face.

People passing by sighed slightly when they saw this, and told him to accept his condolences, but he remained expressionless.

The old butler brought Ji Huaian and others into the house. Seeing Fang Xuchuan like this, he burst into tears. He wiped his tears and said to Ji Huaian and others, "Our master has a really miserable life."

If Ji Huaian didn't know that Madam Fang in the coffin appeared in the mass grave, he would have believed it. No one was in charge of the mansion, and the old housekeeper took a few people away and left in a hurry.

Fang Xuchuan seemed to be in great sorrow, and he didn't even notice the arrival of Ji Huaian and others. Jiang Rou looked around the house but didn't find Fang Yuan.

Doubts gradually arose in her heart. How could her son not come after his mother passed away? Combined with Ji Huaian and Fu Yun's attitudes, she seemed to understand something in her heart.

Jiang Rou's heart was churning, but she showed no expression on her face. She collected her thoughts and tugged at Ji Huaian's sleeve. Ji Huaian turned around and saw the sadness on Jiang Rou's face.

Then he thought that Jiang Rou didn't know the whole story, and that she was always soft-hearted, so she would definitely be hurt in such an atmosphere. Ji Huaian regretted bringing her here.

Jiang Rou said to Ji Huaian, "I want to burn a stick of incense for Madam Fang." Ji Huaian did not refuse. He took her hand and walked to the altar and lit a stick of incense for her.

Jiang Rou was about to insert the incense into the altar after she finished worshipping when she suddenly heard a heart-wrenching cry. She was frightened by the sudden sound and trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Ji Huaian half-embraced her in his arms. Jiang Rou grabbed Ji Huaian's sleeve tightly and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

This was the first time Jiang Rou saw Fang Yuan after the fire. He was completely disfigured and one of his eyes was blind. He needed help to stand up. He was completely disabled. Jiang Rou felt nothing in her heart, but turned around and burrowed into Ji Huaian's arms.

Feeling the fear of the person in his arms and knowing that the other person had seen Fang Yuan, Ji Huaian gently stroked Jiang Rou's back with his big hand, hugged her tightly in his arms, winked at Qing Fan, and took her away.

Jiang Rou lay obediently in Ji Huaian's arms the whole way. Ji Huaian brought her back to his yard. When he closed the door, he found that she had burst into tears.

Ji Huaian gently wiped her tears with his fingertips and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here." As he said that, Jiang Rou suddenly threw herself into his arms, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe.

Knowing that this was the knot in her heart, Ji Huaian didn't say anything, but just hugged her tightly in his arms and patted her back with both hands.

When Jiang Rou's crying gradually weakened, Ji Huaian held her shoulders, and Jiang Rou met Ji Huaian's gaze with her red eyes.

He said, "Arou, no one can bully you here," his voice was gentle but powerful.
