Crash!

A cup of tea fell to the ground.

Chashan shivered, not daring to speak.

Li Hongyuan said calmly, “The teacup wasn’t held securely, have someone clean it up.”

Chashan swallowed, giving a signal to the maid outside.

The maid entered with a bow, quickly cleaned up the mess, and left.

Chashan said, “It seems that our Princess Consort and Wenren Zong… have some feelings for each other. It’s strange. They had a blind date before, but the Princess Consort didn’t have any feelings for him then. Now it seems things have changed. By the way, Your Highness, I’ve also heard something else.”

“Tell me.”

“At Madam Wenren’s birthday banquet, she invited Prime Minister Jiang’s wife, and the Princess Consort went along. At the banquet, Madam Wenren mentioned that the Princess Consort had almost an arranged marriage with Wenren Zong when she was a child.”

“An arranged marriage?”

“Yes, but then the Princess Consort went missing, and the matter came to nothing. At the banquet, the topic was brought up, and many people joined in, suggesting that they should get married. I was wondering if the change in the Princess Consort’s attitude had anything to do with this.”

Li Hongyuan slowly said, “It seems that Wenren Zong is determined to steal my woman.”

“This Wenren Zong is truly ignorant of his place!” Chashan was filled with righteous indignation, “Doesn’t he know that the Princess Consort has already given birth to a royal grandson for the Prince? To have such delusions, it’s despicable!”

“Enough, you can leave.” Li Hongyuan sat down and picked up the book again.

However, he couldn’t read a word of what was written.

By evening, he rode to Jiang’s house.

His excuse, of course, was to see the boy and girl twins.

Prime Minister Jiang had said that the Prince of Yu is the father of the twins, and no one should stop him from seeing the children.

As a result, Li Hongyuan now felt free to come and go as he pleased in the Jiang family residence.

At the gate, he casually handed the horse to the doorman and went to the backyard.

Jiang Ruobai and Jiang Yi were both out dining with colleagues and not at home.

Aunt Liu and Jiang Yuan greeted him with a bow, but saw his somber and ugly expression.

He ignored the mother and daughter, heading straight for Jiang Ning’s courtyard.

“It seems the Prince of Yu has come with ill intentions.” Jiang Yuan whispered, “Auntie, is he going to cause trouble for Jiang Ning? What should we do, should we tell Madam?”

“What’s the use of telling Madam? We must hurry and inform the Old Master and Third Young Master.” Aunt Liu muttered, “Is he coming to take the children? Is he going to bring the twins back to the Prince of Yu’s Mansion?” “No way, right?”

“Why not? Don’t forget, they are still surnamed Li, they have royal blood. Can the royal family let them stay outside?”

“What should we do?”

“Get someone to go tell your father, quickly!”

The mother and daughter hurried to find someone to send a message.

Li Hongyuan had already arrived at Jiang Ning’s courtyard.

Jiang Ning had just returned not long ago, having only taken off her cloak. She was warming herself by the fire and drinking hot soup.

Li Hongyuan walked in and saw her wearing a pink skirt, her fair face, slender waist, leaning forward slightly, smiling, and reaching towards the fire basin.

She was smiling.

Laughing so carefree and happy.

Recalling the hatred and anger on her face when they separated in the morning, the stark contrast deeply hurt Li Hongyuan’s eyes.

He let down the curtain and went in.

Huang Ying and Xiaoman both stood up.

“All of you leave.” Li Hongyuan said coldly.

“Prince, if you have something to say, just say it. Don’t hurt Miss…” Huang Ying saw his gloomy expression and became worried, hurriedly saying..
