Everyone present knew who Baili Yanqing was talking to.

After all, Zhou Zigu's return to the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion was also a big deal.

More than a year ago, Zhou Zigu's funeral was also a grand occasion.

Now that the dead man has come alive again and returned home, it is naturally a story that everyone talks about with relish.

Among these, we have to mention that before Zhou Zigu returned home, he was almost beaten to death by his wife's maid at the door of his house.

Zhou Zigu's eyes flickered as he whispered, "Your Highness, there are outsiders present, please respect yourself."

Seeing Zhou Zigu distancing himself from him, Baili Yanqing felt distressed again.

Then look back at Jiang Wanqing's arrogant and provocative face.

Baili Yanqing quickly shouted, "Everyone, leave now. I have something to say to the Marquis."

Madam Zhou hesitated for a moment and was in a dilemma: "This... is not good. Will it damage the reputation of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

The other party was Zhou Zigu's mother. Although Baili Yanqing was impatient, she still said patiently: "My father asked me to say something to the marquis in private. Don't you want to listen to it too?"

Upon hearing the words from the emperor, Old Madam Zhou no longer hesitated.

He looked directly at everyone present: "Everyone get out!"

Jiang Wanqing held the child, smiled at Baili Yanqing, and left the living room.

Song Nansheng was also reluctant to leave, and with a hint of reluctance, he left with everyone else.

When everyone had left, only Baili Yanqing and Zhou Zigu were left.

Baili Yanqing could no longer care about anything else and touched Zhou Zigu's cheek with one hand.

His eyes were full of heartache: "Does it still hurt?"

Zhou Zigu raised his head and looked at Baili Yanqing affectionately: "Your Highness, the pain has long gone."

Baili Yanqing's brows were tightly furrowed.

He said in a deep voice: "Now, all your plans with my brother have been disrupted. Jiang Wanqing is still your wife. Zi Gu, if this continues, when will you marry me?"

Zhou Zigu reached out and took Baili Yanqing's hand.

He sighed, "I also want to marry you, but Jiang Wanqing is still my nominal wife, how can I marry you? I can't... let you, a princess, be my equal wife, let alone a concubine."

When Baili Yanqing heard the word "concubine", her face suddenly darkened: "How can I, a princess of a country, be a concubine?"

Zhou Zigu was suddenly in trouble and frowned.

Baili Yanqing said, "If that's the case, why not just send someone to kill Jiang Wanqing?"

Zhou Zigu raised his head quickly and looked at Baili Yanqing: "Your Highness, please do not act recklessly. As long as the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion has not been taken over by Your Highness, Jiang Wanqing will still be the bridge between us and the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion.

Besides, Jiang Wanqing is a member of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. If she is killed casually, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion will definitely not let it go. If any clues are found, it will ruin the prince's plan. "

Baili Yan heard this and shook off Zhou Zigu's hand.

She said unhappily, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Why don't you just divorce Jiang Wanqing?"

Zhou Zigu had an awkward look on his face: "Your Highness, I've said that Jiang Wanqing is the only bridge between us and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She cannot be divorced yet."

Listening to Zhou Zigu's hesitation.

Baili Yanqing looked at Zhou Zigu.

His eyes gradually narrowed: "After all, you don't have any selfish feelings towards Jiang Wanqing Zang, do you? I just saw the child in her arms, it was so cute."

Zhou Zigu quickly raised three fingers: "I, Zhou Zigu, swear that I have absolutely no feelings for Jiang Wanqing. If it weren't for the prince's plan, I would have divorced Jiang Wanqing long ago and would never let Her Royal Highness suffer such an injustice."

Baili Yan felt a little better after listening to this.

He snorted coldly: "I think you only speak nicely. If you don't love Jiang Wanqing, you must like someone else. I heard that you took another concubine?"

Zhou Zigu just felt unlucky.

Song Nansheng had forced himself to give an explanation before.

Now, Baili Yanqing asked the same question again.

Zhou Zigu took a deep breath and repeated to Baili Yanqing what he had explained to Song Nansheng before.

Finally, he added, "Jinniang is just a tool in the mansion. It is impossible for me to have any feelings for her."

Baili Yanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He took a step forward, walked in front of Zhou Zigu, lowered his head and kissed the scars on Zhou Zigu's face.

With a gentle smile on her face, she said, "But Jiang Wanqing left these scars on your face. No matter what, I have to teach her a lesson. I can save her from death, but I can also disfigure her."

After a pause, Baili Yanqing said with a hint of coldness: "No one can snatch you from me, and no one can hurt you. Otherwise, there will be only one outcome! So, during this period of time before you marry me, Zi Gu, you cannot have other women, let alone... have other children."

Zhou Zigu's heart was shocked.

Seeing Baili Yanqing's actions, he became more determined. Fortunately, he did not let Song Nansheng expose it in the open.

Otherwise, given Baili Yanqing's temperament, Song Nansheng might not be able to save his own life.

I think that only after the prince comes to power and I have a certain say in front of the prince, can I protect Song Nansheng.

Zhou Zigu became more and more determined. He had to hide Song Nansheng and direct Baili Yanqing's anger towards Jiang Wanqing.

Zhou Zigu smiled at Baili Yanqing.

Then he replied: "That's natural."

Baili Yanqing looked at Zhou Zigu reluctantly and kissed the scar on his face again: "I have to go back before the palace is closed. I can't stay here any longer. I hope that the scars on your face will be healed when I see you next time."

Zhou Zigu touched his scar and replied, "The doctor said that these injuries will not remain. The next time the princess comes, I will definitely be back to normal."

Zhou Zigu naturally knew that Baili Yanqing's liking for him was closely related to his face?

Therefore, there is absolutely no possibility of any accidents happening to the face.

He also needed Baili Yanqing to say more good things for him in front of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an.

Compared with the atmosphere in the room.

Madam Zhou and her group outside the house were a little uneasy.

Especially Song Nansheng.

She walked straight to Jiang Wanqing and looked at Jiang Wanqing, who was holding the child and coaxing him softly with a calm expression on her face.

Then he asked, "Isn't my cousin worried at all?"
