Seeing that Li Shuangxi was still unconscious, her face was as white as paper and her brows were furrowed, it was obvious that she was in great pain. She didn't know when she would wake up, and waiting here was indeed not a solution.

Then he said, "Okay, then, second brother, you stay here with third sister first, and don't rush back. It's okay to go back after third sister wakes up and if there's nothing wrong, I'll have the carriage in the mansion waiting outside at any time."

Li Yuanming just felt exhausted and nodded immediately: "Okay, I won't be polite to the princess."

"That's the way it is."

Li Shuangwan looked at Li Shuangxi lying on the bed, then casually glanced at Li Yuanming who was sitting next to her with a worried look on his face, and left with two maids.

Her second brother is much smarter than his father Li Huaiyi.

As soon as Li Shuangwan stepped out of the door, he saw Zhou Caiyao standing outside.

"Ayao, why don't you go in?"

Zhou Caiyao wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "Second Aunt said that I was the country girl abandoned by the eldest wife, and I don't know whether it's true or not. How could I dare to go in and see Sister Xi."

"She's in a bad mood today, so don't take her words to heart. Mother will be here in two days, and once your name is included in the family tree, Second Aunt will stop saying these things. Let's go, it's getting late."

Zhou Caiyao stood there, not moving.

"what happened?"

Zhou Caiyao's eyes were red again. "Sister, Second Aunt said that to me in front of so many people. I really don't have the face to kowtow to my great-grandfather. Since mother will be here in two days, why not wait until mother sees me and recognizes me as her daughter, and then I will go to the White Horse Temple with mother."

Roman got angry when he saw Zhou Caiyao's face and rolled his eyes silently in his heart.

Seeing that Li Shuangwan didn't say anything, Zhou Caiyao burst into tears: "Sister, please, mother hasn't acknowledged me yet. If I go there eagerly, I will definitely be bullied by my second uncle and second aunt. It's okay for me to suffer a little injustice, but you can't let my parents and sister suffer that in vain."

Li Shuangwan sighed and said, "If that's the case, then fine. I'll tell my mother."

Zhou Caiyao immediately smiled and held Li Shuangwan's hand: "Yeah, okay. Sister is still considerate of me. We are really sisters."

Zhou Caiyao watched Li Shuangwan leave.

Xue'er kept her head down and followed behind her. An hour ago, Miss Yao was eager to follow the princess to the White Horse Temple, so why didn't she want to go now?

What did Aunt Zhao say to her?

But she didn't dare ask.

As soon as Li Shuangwan walked to the front yard, Housekeeper Luo reported to her what happened in the front yard between Zhou Caiyao and Nanny Zhao.

Li Shuangwan frowned slightly. She couldn't let Zhou Caiyao steal in the palace. Now she was still nominally the daughter of the General's Mansion. If she was caught on the spot, it would be a disgrace to her and her parents.

"Butler Luo, call back all the palace guards who are resting and strengthen patrols in the palace."

Steward Luo cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I have already called back the guards and asked Commander Ou to send secret guards around the palace. They will not let Zhou Caiyao succeed."

Li Shuangwan nodded. Gu Xingyan’s people were indeed reliable.

"Princess, I will serve you." Nanny Zhao came over with a smile on her face. "Yizhu and Luoman are too young, and there are many rules to follow when performing the ritual."

Li Shuangwan smiled faintly: "Okay."

More than an hour passed, and Li Shuangwan still hadn't come out. Li Huaiyi and Xu, who were standing at the gate of the mansion, were getting increasingly angry.

Li Huaiyi even scolded Xu harshly.

Xu and Li Shuangmiao hid in the carriage and didn't dare to say a word in reply.

"You are such a vicious woman! If you hadn't pushed Xier, why haven't you set out yet? Wouldn't I know about the dirty things you did in the mansion? As long as you didn't make a fuss outside, I would have turned a blind eye, but now!"

"Don't you know what day it is today? Idiot! I should have divorced you and sent you back to the Xu family long ago, so as to avoid making the house a mess."

"Wow, Master, I know I was wrong..."

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong. What's the point of knowing you're wrong? Stupid woman, stupid woman!"

When Li Shuangwan came out, he just heard Li Huaiyi cursing at Xu again.

This happened right in front of Prince Heng's mansion. They really have no shame at all.

Li Shuangwan just felt extremely disgusted, and didn't want to say a word to them, and got on the carriage in front: "Uncle Zhou, let's go."

The driver Zhou Wen whipped the carriage.

The coachman of the second house listened to all kinds of dirty words such as "idiot", "shrew", "bitch" etc. for more than an hour, and shook his head countless times.

I don’t know what happened to the couple from the second house today. Although the second master has a bad temper, he will not lose control of himself in public.

To put it bluntly, most of the officials in Shengjing City are two-faced.

Two hours later, it was already past noon when they arrived at the foot of the White Horse Temple. With Li Shuangwan's two tokens, the imperial guards did not embarrass them and only asked them a few simple questions before letting them pass.

Ling Heng personally greeted them at the temple gate. When he saw the carriage stop, he stepped forward, opened the curtain, and personally helped Li Shuangwan get out of the carriage.

Her peach blossom eyes were as gentle as water, and her voice was so soft that it seemed to drip water: "Ah Wan, are you tired after sitting in the carriage for so long?"

Li Shuangwan pulled her hand back from Ling Heng. As much as she liked this look in her previous life, she hated it in this life.

She smiled at him calmly and said, "I'm not tired. Why did Your Highness come here in person? Doesn't the Ministry of Rites have a lot of things to do?"

"Since Ah Wan is here, I will naturally greet her in person. The Ministry of Rites will have its own people to handle the affairs."

Haha, Li Shuangwan snorted in his heart.

Ling Heng turned his gaze to Li Huaiyi and the other three people who got off the carriage: "Second uncle, second aunt, second sister."

Although Ling Heng was a prince, he always kept a low profile. Li Huaiyi was very pleased with this and bowed, "Your Highness."

"I have already asked someone to prepare a courtyard. If my second uncle, second aunt, and second sister are tired, they can go and rest first. The vegetarian meal has been delivered to the house."

"Thank you, Your Highness. It's so thoughtful of you." Li Huaiyi's anger that had been accumulating for the whole morning finally subsided a little.

"We are all family, so it's only right. I have already discussed the memorial service for my great-grandfather with the abbot. Everything should be done as best as possible. The temple is almost ready. If my second uncle needs anything else, he can just tell the abbot. He will do whatever he wants."

Li Huaiyi was overjoyed. Originally, he should have come two days in advance to finalize the matter and prepare everything, but because the White Horse Temple was taken over by the Ministry of Rites, he could not enter the White Horse Temple without the token of the Ministry of Rites, so it was delayed until today.

During the two hours in the carriage, I was angry that I would not have any rest from this afternoon to evening. I never expected that King Heng would help arrange everything.

"I don't know how to thank Your Highness. Your arrangements are perfect. Thank you very much." Li Huaiyi bowed deeply.

Ling Heng hurriedly took a few steps forward and lifted the person up.
