All of the servants in the Residence of Duke Jing were dressed in plain clothes today. Even the usually laughing Zhang Rui hid his expression and stood there sternly.

Yu Yan did not know where they had gone to, so she did not dare to ask too much. Zhang Rui had instructed them not to talk loudly today, so they needed to be more quiet. She even held her breath while she served tea to Su Mu Qing and Jiang Wan Yan.

If someone really came to visit him, he would feel uncomfortable instead.

Jiang Wanyan understood his intentions, but she also felt wronged for him. She clearly had a father, but she lived like a ghost in the mortal world.

The most heartless royal family was the Imperial Consort Shu. How could she have known that she would not be able to remember the day of the memorial when his family was destroyed despite showing such kindness?

"Are you tired?"

Su Mu Qing suddenly asked her. Jiang Wan Yan's train of thoughts was immediately cut off, and she couldn't hear him clearly. She subconsciously nodded her head.

After nodding his head, his mind was still in a muddle. He then saw Su Mu Qing nod his head towards Yu Yan: "Help Princess Wang Fei rest for a bit, she's tired."

There was no smile on Su Mu Qing's face, which made the string in Yu Yan's heart tense up. The moment he gave the command, Yu Yan immediately rushed forward to support Jiang Wan Yan: "Royal Consort."

Only then did Jiang Wanyan react as she hurriedly said, "I'm not sleepy, I was just thinking about something just now."

Su Mu Qing smiled at her and caressed the white flower in her hair. "Go take a rest. Come find me at the ancestral hall when you wake up."

She then waved her hand. "Help Princess Hua-Yang rest."

He couldn't win against Su Mu Qing, so his tone was a bit hard. It seemed like there was no room for negotiation. Jiang Wan Yan pouted and got up to return to her room.

"Your Highness." Seeing that Jiang Wanyan had left, Zhang Rui felt it was a little strange. He approached her and whispered, "Prince, aren't you going to let my wife kneel in the ancestral hall with you?"

Zhang Rui sighed and followed Su Mu Qing out of the main hall. The prince had been like this when he was married, who would have thought that in just a short period of time, the prince would have already pampered his wife?

After returning to her room, Jiang Wanyan still felt that something was amiss. Yu Yan even helped her to sleep as she said, "What kind of logic is this? Is the prince going out to eat?"

Going out of the manor? To the Drunken Flower Lodge?

Jiang Wanyan felt that that shouldn't be the case. Su Moyu had already told her about Drunken Flower Lodge's identity in the morning, so she wouldn't give up so easily if she were to go to Drunken Flower Lodge.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wanyan felt that it was better not to make wild guesses. Su Mu Qing's mood was heavy today, so it was normal that he wanted to stay for a while. Why did he need to keep guessing here?

After understanding this, Jiang Wan Yan's heart felt a lot more at ease, "I'll sleep for a while, you should also go sleep for a while, don't wander around in front of him."

She didn't want anyone in the mansion to gossip that her little girl was keeping an eye on the prince all day long.

Yu Yan agreed, and carefully helped her put down the veil before leaving.

Jiang Wanyan didn't sleep for long. She didn't know what was going on outside, but she felt that it was very noisy. However, when she woke up, other than the sound of the wind, there was nothing else.

Her head was a little dizzy, and she really couldn't fall asleep. She felt that her position wasn't right, which was why she was so tired the more she slept.

"Yu Yan." She called out to the door. For a long time, no one came in.

Has this girl not woken up yet? Jiang Wan Yan felt that it was a little strange. Yu Yan never slept soundly, but she had already woken up. How could Yu Yan not have made any movements?

While thinking about this, Jiang Wanyan put on her outer robes. When she opened the door, there was only a young maid sweeping the courtyard. Seeing her come out, she greeted her, "Good morning, Royal Consort."

"Did you see Yu Yan?" Jiang Wanyan nodded at her and casually asked.

Who would have thought that this little girl actually knew? She pointed outside: "Reporting to the wangfei, just now Chief Manager Zhang called Big Sister Yu Yan away. It wasn't long ago."

What did Zhang Rui call Yu Yan for?

Su Mu Qing had just said that if she woke up, she could go to the Ancestral Hall to find him. Zhang Rui was the supervisor, and Yu Yan was her concubine.

However, Jiang Wanyan didn't know where the ancestral hall was, so she could only pick a random servant to lead the way.

When the servant arrived at the door, he refused to enter and only said that the servants were not allowed to enter.

This was the truth. Jiang Wanyan had asked him to do his own thing, but when he entered the ancestral hall, he could vaguely see the people inside through the layers of black gauze.

"Wan Yan?" Su Mu Qing's voice came from the inside. He must have heard the sound of Jiang Wan Yan opening the door and entering. However, there were several layers of gauze between them, so Jiang Wan Yan wasn't able to see everything clearly.

"It's me." She answered without even pausing in her steps. Before Su Mu Qing could say anything, Jiang Wan Yan had already arrived behind her.

Su Mu Qing was kneeling in front of the same memorial tablets as the Wei Residence. Jiang Wan Yan was a little taken aback. He knelt here all afternoon just like that? That. Why were there two identical tablets?

This is against the rules.

Su Mu Qing seemed to be able to see through her doubts. He smiled and replied, "It's just that I set it up to disturb my eyes and ears. It was specifically instructed by Grandfather before he passed away."

"Wan Yan." You don't have to kneel, your knees hurt. " His heart ached and he wanted to help her up, but Jiang Wanyan had coldly avoided his hand.

"If you, a patient, can kneel, why can't I kneel? Or do you regret not treating me as your own family? Then I will let Yu Yan clean up! We won't disturb the river from now on! So be it! " Since she was already in Imperial Consort Jing, there was no reason for him to kneel down and sleep with her!

What would happen if someone else found out? He still didn't know what gossip was spreading!

Su Mu Qing hastily pulled her back. "You know that's not what I meant."

Jiang Wanyan's head turned, as if she was unwilling to listen.

"What is it?" When Su Mu Qing heard Zhang Rui's anxious voice, he felt as if something had happened.

"Your Highness." Zhang Rui's voice paused for a moment, it was probably because he ran too fast, he then sighed: "Someone suddenly came from Wen Family, I can't stop them, they already rushed in without giving me any explanation!"
