She was far from at ease leaving the young girl, Concubine Shu, alone here.
When Mu Fengqie and Jing Xinche arrived, Yuan Yuhan was feeding porridge to A Ru. "A Ru, have a bit more. You've been in a coma for so long. You must be hungry."
Yuan Yuhan looked at the half - bowl of porridge left, feeling a bit worried. She'd only eaten this much. How could her body take it?
"I said, Yuan Yuhan, enough already. This isn't the first bowl. It's the fifth one! What, do you want to stuff me to death so you can marry another woman?" A Ru glared at Yuan Yuhan. Did he really think she was a pig, just being fed non - stop?
"A Ru, how can you say that? I love you so much. How could I want you to die?" Yuan Yuhan looked at A Ru disapprovingly. How could anyone talk about themselves like that?
"Alright, if you don't want to eat, then don't. But you must tell me when you're hungry, A Ru." Yuan Yuhan looked at A Ru, feeling as if he hadn't taken good care of her during this time. A Ru had lost weight.
"Ahem..." Mu Fengqie and Jing Xinche had been standing at the door for quite a while. Neither of them had noticed them. They couldn't bear to watch any longer or they'd be embarrassed, so they had to interrupt.
"Fengqie, you're here. Come and check on A Ru quickly. Is there something wrong with her body? She ate much less than usual today." As soon as Yuan Yuhan saw Mu Fengqie standing at the door, he forgot everything else and immediately invited Mu Fengqie in.
As for why he didn't drag her in, first, he was already taken. Second, Jing Xinche was standing there glaring. He didn't have the guts to pull Jing Xinche's woman.
Mu Fengqie stepped forward and carefully felt A Ru's pulse. She also examined her body. Apart from the wound on her face, there was nothing wrong.
"A Ru is fine." It's you who's being overly worried.
"Then why did A Ru eat so little?" Yuan Yuhan frowned. She'd only had five bowls of porridge today, much less than usual.
"A Ru ate quite a bit at the banquet. No matter how much of an eater she is, she can't eat that much." Mu Fengqie looked at Yuan Yuhan helplessly. She always felt that Yuan Yuhan was feeding A Ru like a pig. Of course, she was just joking. It couldn't be taken seriously.
"Humph, I've already said I'm not hungry, but he just doesn't believe me." A Ru glared at Yuan Yuhan angrily. Was she such a glutton?
"Okay, it's my fault. Don't be angry, A Ru." After staying with A Ru for a while, Yuan Yuhan went out with Jing Xinche, leaving Mu Fengqie alone in the room to take care of A Ru.
A Ru and Mu Fengqie glanced at each other but said nothing. They knew in their hearts what the two of them were going to do, so they didn't stop them.
When Jing Xinche and Yuan Yuhan came out, Lady Zheng had already been brought over. Although she was seriously injured, Mu Fengqie's medical skills were even more amazing. Lady Zheng could kneel on the ground by herself without any problem.
When the four - member Zheng family outside saw the two of them coming out, they all shivered. What they were afraid of now wasn't Jing Xinche, but Yuan Yuhan beside him.
"Your Highness, spare our lives! I'm willing to take my mother's punishment instead." After seeing Yuan Yuhan come out, Miss Zheng directly kowtowed on the ground, hoping that the Regent Prince would spare them out of her filial piety.
"What are you talking nonsense about! Come back quickly!" Lord Zheng looked at Miss Zheng disapprovingly. His two daughters were going to be involved in marriage alliances in the future. How could they be implicated because of Lady Zheng's matter?
"Father, I've made up my mind. Mother has had a hard time giving birth to and raising us. She can't be punished for this matter anymore. Otherwise, I'll feel bad." Miss Zheng looked at Lady Zheng and Lord Zheng with tears in her eyes.
Lady Zheng was touched by Miss Zheng's words. She didn't expect her daughter to care about her so much. "Daughter, I can't let you take my punishment." Lady Zheng said firmly.
After hearing Lady Zheng's words, Miss Zheng secretly let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her mother felt sorry for her. Otherwise, if she really had to take the punishment, she definitely couldn't bear it.
"No, Mother. How can I watch you suffer?" Miss Zheng looked at Lady Zheng tearfully.
Miss Zheng Er watched the two of them without saying a word. Her elder sister was good at pretending. The words she was saying now mustn't be sincere. If her elder sister really had to take the punishment, she would definitely find a way to shirk it.
"Your Highness, I've already heard that the Princess is fine. Can we leave now?" Miss Zheng Er looked at Yuan Yuhan confidently. The Regent Princess wasn't hurt at all and was still well in the room.
Why should they still be kneeling outside? Her legs were almost numb. It hurt badly as soon as she moved.
Yuan Yuhan and Jing Xinche had originally been watching the show. Free shows were not to be missed. It would be the same to deal with them after they finished acting. But they didn't expect that the Zheng family would have such a shameless person.
"Who told you that my Princess is fine?" Yuan Yuhan looked at Miss Zheng Er with a gloomy face. He couldn't believe there was such a shameless person in the world!
They were really naive. Since they had the guts to do this, they had to pay the price for their actions.
"Your Highness, my mother really didn't do it on purpose. She originally wanted to teach that veiled woman a lesson." Seeing that Yuan Yuhan wouldn't let up, Miss Zheng directly pleaded and told what had happened at that time.
But she forgot that the veiled woman was Mu Fengqie, Princess Tianlin, and Jing Xinche's woman. So Miss Zheng not only failed to curry favor but also offended Jing Xinche.
"So, according to you, that veiled woman deserved to be beaten?" Sure enough, Jing Xinche, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. As soon as he did, the temperature around them dropped sharply.
The four - member Zheng family shivered from the cold and involuntarily rubbed their arms. It was only August. Why was it so cold?
The moment Jing Xinche spoke, Miss Zheng remembered that the veiled woman was Princess Tianlin, the woman Lord Zhongning liked. For a moment, Miss Zheng didn't know what to say.
She stammered and didn't know how to respond. She was so anxious that she was sweating all over. "As long as Your Highness spares our family, I'm willing to be a slave for Your Highness and do anything."
Miss Zheng thought her meaning was clear enough. No man could refuse a woman who offered herself.
