Chapter 329 The Legal Wife in the Concubine's Story 10
"Madam, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. You should rest early." Cui'er came forward and put on her outer robe. "Are you thinking about the prince?"
The prince is really something. He is so busy with official duties that he never stays in his wife's room.
"Cui'er, you go down first."
Cui'er felt that she had said too much and quickly left.
Just as I was thinking about it, a familiar figure suddenly appeared outside the window. The man was wearing a nightgown and seemed to have rushed here all the way. His exposed skin was covered with a thin layer of sweat. The black cloth was tightly attached to his body, outlining his broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his smooth muscles could be vaguely seen.
"Yan Heng?" Zhai Lingruo's eyes widened. She quickly pushed the door open and found that the maid who was guarding outside had fainted on the ground. They were the only two people awake in the whole courtyard.
Yan Heng stood outside the courtyard, tall and graceful, the setting moonlight cast a layer of soft silver light on him.
"The prince is willing to let his wife stay alone in the empty room." His words were like ice, and the temperature around him seemed to be frozen into frost by these words.
Zhai Lingruo took a deep breath, "Is there something wrong? You are so concerned about the affairs between me and the prince, you wouldn't come here late at night just to talk about this, right? Commander, trespassing into the Marquis's mansion late at night is not the behavior of a gentleman."
"She is my subordinate."
This nonsensical sentence made Zhai Lingruo a little confused.
Suddenly, she realized that it might be because of what she said in anger today.
While in the carriage, Zhai Lingruo came to her senses. It would be strange if she still didn't know her boyfriend's personality after so many worlds.
She had long since stopped being mad at him.
"Oh, my subordinate." Zhai Lingruo nodded. She already believed it.
But her reaction was too calm, Yan Heng thought she was still angry, and hurriedly said: "Lichun Garden is the base where Prince Duan collects information in Beijing. He wants to rebel."
"I went to Lichun Garden just to find out how far they had progressed. I went to Huayan's place to listen to the music. The music was conveying the message."
The forces in the court that are in collusion with Prince Duan are complicated and intertwined, and I think a new batch of them will be replaced.
Zhai Lingruo blinked. She had believed it a long time ago, but was it really okay to tell her the whole plan?
"Also, Hua Yan has a wife." Yan Heng gently touched her head, "Don't think too much."
It was also because of this incident that Yan Heng realized that he should not only be on guard against men, but also against beautiful women.
Madam? Zhai Lingruo widened her eyes slightly. Then...isn't the General Lin who was later sent to the border a woman?
In the original plot, Lichunyuan fell due to some things, and simply said to the outside world that it could not make ends meet. The people just thought that they had offended an important figure. Unexpectedly, it was because Lichunyuan borrowed the name of a brothel and actually let those girls collect information about dignitaries that it was taken down by the Longwei Division.
This matter was originally forgotten, but General Lin married in a high-profile manner and took Miss Huayan from Lichun Garden as his principal wife, and took her with him to the border to take up his post, so this lively gossip was circulated for a long time and the original owner had heard of it.
"Well, Commander, did you come here tonight just to explain to me?" Zhai Lingruo had a smile on her lips, and she asked the question even though she knew the answer.
"Yes." Yan Heng was straightforward, which made her stunned. "I was delayed for a while in the afternoon by other things. I came to find you after I finished dealing with them."
"Does your hand hurt?" Yan Heng wanted to hold her hand, but he thought of her resistance at that time.
It was clearly me who hit him, but he actually asked me if my hand hurt. "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"It's getting late, Lord Yan should go back and rest early." Zhai Lingruo remembered that he had just dealt with the matters of Qixia Temple in the afternoon, and rushed over to explain to her in the evening. He must not have had a good rest, and she felt a little distressed.
The full moon in the sky had been covered by clouds at some point, and it was getting dark all around.
After she said this, she realized that something was wrong with Yan Heng. The light in his eyes seemed to become darker in the darkness.
"Madam." Yan Heng almost gritted his teeth and uttered these two words, "Goodbye."
"Lord Yan?" Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhai Lingruo hurriedly called him.
The man's anger seemed to disappear at this moment, "What's the matter?"
Ling Ruo pointed at the maids lying on the ground, "Are they okay?"
"......fine."
"You can go now. Remember to close the window for me," Zhai Lingruo said again, "By the way, Lord Yan, don't take what happened this afternoon to heart."
After all, she hit him, and even though he was her own man, she still felt a little embarrassed, not to mention that she misunderstood him.
To Yan Heng, these words meant that Zhai Lingruo wanted to cut off ties with him and make him forget the intimate behavior in the afternoon.
Yan Heng looked at her deeply, and Zhai Lingruo felt from his eyes that she had done something unforgivable, such as abandoning him.
But it was clearly their first meeting, and she didn't even care that he had kissed her madly for no reason in the afternoon, so why did he still have this expression?
It was getting late, so she decided not to think about it any more. They would see each other again eventually, so Zhai Lingruo went to bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, Cui Er came to help her get up and said, "Madam, Madam Yun, the old lady's maid, told me that the old lady wants you to go to her place today when you have time."
Zhai Lingruo nodded lightly. She was sitting in front of the dressing table when she suddenly heard the sound of servants bowing outside.
Jiang Huaiqing is back.
"Madam, let's go to pay respects to our grandmother today." Jiang Huaiqing and Zhai Lingruo went together. They also had a purpose, Tan'er's enlightenment must be put on the agenda.
The last time he was not with the old lady, his son became a servant's child. Fearing that something unexpected would happen again, Jiang Huaiqing decided to stay with Lingruo and work with the old lady to get this matter done.
Zhai Lingruo stood up, smiling, "Let's go, Huaiqing. We know you are busy with official duties, so we will go there now. You will also have free time to deal with other things."
"Ruo'er is so considerate." Jiang Huaiqing wanted to hold Zhai Lingruo's hand to show their love.
But she dodged it without leaving a trace, and his hand was suspended in the air, "Huaiqing, let's hurry up, grandma must be waiting anxiously."
When she arrived at the old lady's place, Zhai Lingruo saw Jiang Niantan at a glance. She curled the corners of her lips and said, "Niantan, where is your grandma? Why is she here?"
She smiled again and said, "Grandma misses you, right? Yes, who wouldn't like such a lovely child? How is Nian Tan doing with Aunt Cui? Having a new father and mother is much better than the days of begging on the street before."
With every word she said, Jiang Huaiqing and the old lady's faces became uglier, but Zhai Lingruo seemed unaware.
"Lingruo, this child is already three years old, and it is time for him to start his education. Although the Second House is in charge, he still doesn't know much about these things. Madam Cui wants you to send this child to the primary school."
Nanny Cui also stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Madam, you come from a famous family and know many gentlemen. I hope you can take care of Nian Tan's affairs."
Naturally, Zhai Lingruo could not be bothered by the son of a servant, but the child was loved by the old lady, and the old lady also wanted Lingruo to help in her words.
