Li Shuangwan smiled and said, "Your Highness, go ahead. My second brother used to like reading all kinds of books, and I'm sure he and Your Highness will have something in common to talk about."

Ling Heng nodded and stood up: "In that case, let's go to your study. Mother-in-law, I'm leaving. It's windy here, you and Ah Wan should go back to the room."

Yizhu lowered his head, now realizing that the wind was strong here, and wondered what he had been doing before.

"Go ahead. I'll have someone prepare lunch. You and Yuanming can have a few drinks later."

"Yes."

After Ling Heng left with Li Yuanming, Li Shuangwan helped Zhu Anhe into the house, which was as warm as spring.

Li Shuangwan took a deep breath and felt so comfortable. She rubbed her hands and then put them on her face. Her face was almost frozen. If she sat in the pavilion for another half a quarter of an hour, she would be frozen to death.

Zhu Anhe hurriedly took away the half-cold hand warmer in her hand and handed her a fresh and hot one: "Yuanming is a thoughtful child."

Li Shuangwan kept warming her palms and backs of her hands with the hand warmer: "Mom, Ling Heng did it on purpose. He wanted to save Second Uncle's face, so he dragged us mother and daughter along, and deliberately let us blow the cold wind in the pavilion."

Li Shuangwan asked Yizhu and I, Luoman, to guard the door and the yard, and no one was allowed to come in.

Seeing that she was so serious, Zhu Anhe pulled her aside and asked, "Is there something important you want to tell me?"

Li Shuangwan nodded and took out the note that the eunuch had stuffed into her sleeve on the New Year's Eve banquet and handed it to her mother.

Luo Man looked back at the closed door several times: "Yi Zhu, what did the Madam and the Princess say behind closed doors to keep His Highness away from them?"

Yizhu slapped Luo Man on the forehead with a slap: "What are you curious about, Master's business?"

Roman rubbed his aching forehead and said, "If you're not allowed to say it, then just don't say it. Why are you hitting me?"

Yizhu looked at the closed door with a heavy heart. She knew that inside the room, the girl must be going to tell the lady about her plan.

I wonder how sad the lady would feel if she knew how much injustice the girl has suffered during this period of time.

Inside the house, Zhu Anhe read the contents of the note and took a long time to digest it, his expression still looking extremely ugly.

Fortunately, everything is possible.

The two were about to talk for a while when they heard Yi Zhu outside the door shouting, "Hello, Third Miss, Hello, Aunt Tong."

Aunt Tong: "Are the Madam and the Princess in the house?"

"Yes, I am."

Seeing the door was closed, Li Shuangxi pulled Aunt Tong's sleeve and said, "Aunt, we'll come back later."

Aunt Tong seemed to have just realized that the door was closed, and hurriedly said, "It's rare for the princess to come to your house. We are sorry for disturbing you. We will come back later."

Li Shuangwan's voice came from inside the room: "Yizhu, let Third Sister and Aunt Tong come in."

"Yes." Yizhu pushed open the door and the two of them walked in.

In the mansion, the person in charge of food has been replaced by Aunt Tong.

Without Xu's harassment, Aunt Tong and Li Shuangxi seemed like completely different people. In just a few days, their faces became rosy, their backs straightened, and the clothes they wore and the accessories on their heads were much better than before.

Li Shuangxi's broken arm is still hanging and it will take another month or two to heal.

Aunt Tong was a woman who was very good at dealing with people. She spoke to Li Shuangwan and Zhu Anhe with some sincerity: "Princess, Madam, I have asked the kitchen to prepare lunch. I want to ask you if your highness has any dietary restrictions. I know that you are allergic to shrimps, and there is not a single shrimp in the kitchen."

Li Shuangwan couldn't help but glance at Aunt Tong a few more times: "He doesn't have any dietary restrictions, just prepare according to the usual practice."

"Yes." After saying that, he went out again to give instructions to people.

Li Shuangwan thought she would leave, but unexpectedly she came back after giving her instructions.

She lowered her head in front of her mother, blushing and whispering, "Madam, I am just a concubine. It is not right for me, a servant, to be in charge of the affairs of this huge General's Mansion. I hope you will take it over. I am really afraid that if something goes wrong, it will bring shame to our mansion."

Zhu Anhe smiled and waved his hand, pulled Aunt Tong to sit down and said, "Aunt Tong, you have done a very good job. The New Year gifts you arranged for each family are also very appropriate. I don't think I can do better than you."

Aunt Tong waved her hands in embarrassment: "No, no, Madam, I am embarrassed by what you said."

"I am too lazy to take care of the affairs of the General's Mansion in the northwest. I have handed them all over to the housekeeper, not to mention here. Besides, I won't be in Shengjing for long. It would be awkward to hand it over to me. Aunt Tong, just take care of it."

Li Shuangwan didn't comment, just glanced at Aunt Tong indifferently.

In the previous life, for the sake of his own career, the second uncle gave Li Shuangxi to the Minister of Works Lu Ziqi as a concubine. Lu Ziqi was already in his fifties, a few years older than him, and had a lot of women in his backyard. However, his wife was a jealous and shrewish woman, and many women died at her hands.

Not long after Li Shuangxi was sent away, Aunt Tong fell ill and died in Shulanyuan in less than a month.

But Li Shuangxi did not give up.

Before Li Shuangwan died, she became the mistress of the Lu Mansion.

Since his rebirth, Li Shuangwan has never dared to look down on anyone.

Aunt Tong is now in charge of the finances of the General's Mansion, which shows that she and her daughter are not as simple as they seem.

Especially Li Shuangxi, who was able to live well under the care of Madam Lu and Old Madam Lu, and even had her own son later. After Madam Lu's death, she became the mistress of the Lu Mansion, which shows how powerful she is.

After having lunch at the General’s Mansion, Li Shuangwan went to Zhu’s Mansion with her mother.

Ling Heng naturally followed.

Because of what Li Shuangwan had told her, Zhu Anhe was so busy that she had to quietly plan the separation from the second wife, and at the same time arrange a way for her to escape.

He only came to see his parents in a hurry on the second day after returning to Shengjing. He kowtowed to the two elders a few times and left. He didn't even have time to stay for a bite of food. Mrs. Zhu was so anxious that her eyes turned red.

The Zhu family had received the news long ago, and Mr. Zhu and everyone else in the family went out to welcome them.

After greeting each other, Ling Heng followed Mr. Zhu to his study.

At this moment, when Mrs. Zhu saw her daughter and granddaughter coming together, she was so happy that she wiped away tears.

Nanny He smiled and said, "Old Madam, please come in and sit down. Miss, Princess, the old madam misses you every day."

When Zhu Anhe saw Zhu Qingmeng, he smiled and said, "It's been a year since we last met. Qingmeng has grown into a big man and has become more handsome. I wonder which girl is so lucky to marry you."

Zhu Qingmeng's ears turned red. He glanced at Li Shuangwan secretly and said embarrassedly, "Aunt, please don't tease your nephew."

Li Shuangwan saw that the servant named Xiaoshun was wearing a brand new New Year's suit, with a smiling face, and was serving his eldest cousin very politely and quietly.

At this time, Xiaoshun was still loyal to his cousin.

As early as a month ago, she sent Chen Ping to check on Xiaoshun and found out that he had a bedridden mother and a teenage sister.

His mother looked haggard, but his sister, although young, was a real beauty.
