sty Or are you people of Panlong Nation planning on changing your country's name"The female official's words were also very sharp, making the officials who had scolded her before blush, and after a lo...The eldest prince looked at Lian Yi's smiling face, his mind churning. This voice was very familiar to him, a sound he would never forget. It was the same voice that belonged to the person who had killed all those who pursued him outside the Huoguo Temple that day, saving his life.

The Crown Prince was certain the other party had recognized him; otherwise, they wouldn't have spoken so casually. He steadied himself before replying:

"I am Huang Gongzi, who came here to attend the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet with my friends."

"So it's the 'Royal' son! If you don't mind, please sit down and cool off with me. My body is quite heavy at the moment, so please forgive me if I am impolite in any way."

Ripple chuckled, stroking Whirlwind's head, not the slightest intention of getting up.

The eldest prince also noticed the swelling of ripples' belly, looking like it was about to give birth. He didn't take his seat, his status being sensitive. Although facing his benefactor, he still had to be on guard. So he smiled and bowed, saying:

"I'm sorry to bother you, I just wanted to stand high and see far, just watch the commotion. I was found by the mistress's cat."

"No problem, I want to see the commotion too! Isn't that allowed"

Liàn Yī smiled and rubbed her belly. "

Then I won't bother you.

The eldest prince bowed and then turned to leave.

The maidservants beside Lianyi watched the man leave, all letting out a sigh of relief. They were afraid that this person would have ideas about Lianyi's belly.

> The eldest prince hadn't walked far when he encountered a sharp-looking man in a sapphire-blue brocade robe. The man bowed to the eldest prince and whispered two things into his ear, then the two of them left directly, seeming to be leaving the back garden.

The ripples continued to lounge in the shade, waiting for news. While munching on melon seeds and fruit, they petted a cat, appearing carefree and content.

Grandma Sun walked around for a bit, then returned to the pavilion. Her expression was now calm. She curtsied to Ripples and then lowered her voice, saying:

"Madam, Miss Zhao Er fell into the lake by accident. The Wind Commander happened to be passing by and saw someone drowning, so he came to help."

Ripple shook her head after listening.

"The second young lady of the chief minister's family doesn't even have a maidservant or nanny Even if things are bad, we have housemaids in our own home. How could you let that wind-chief officer risk his life to save her"

It is said that when Miss Zhao Er fell into the water, her maidservant was sent away by her to look for a missing handkerchief.

Grandma Sun sighed helplessly.

This excuse was so flimsy, even a housewife could see through it. Zhao Er Miss obviously had some other plan, which is why she sent everyone away beforehand.

"This time that Wind Commander sure got a great deal."

Ripple smiled and said.

"Mrs. Hou is becoming worried about this matter."

Grandmother Sun said helplessly.

What does this have to do with me

Liàn Yī thought so in her heart, but she didn't say it. Instead, she said to Sun Mamā:

"Grandma, you don't need to stay here with me. Go see if your mother needs help. I'm not feeling well and it's better for me not to go and cause any trouble."

Yes, mistress.

Grandma Sun bowed politely, then turned and hurriedly left.

At this time, Doudou gave Lianyi a voice transmission:

"Master, Miss Zhao Er who was eyeing up was the Crown Prince. She knew he was the target so she jumped right in. As a result, this Crown Prince is also a divine being, he turned around and ran, not even calling out to anyone."

Miss Zhao Er was immediately frightened. She had been pretending to fall into the water before, but now that her plan had failed, she panicked and fell directly into the artificial lake. She even spat out a mouthful of water, looking extremely embarrassed. She could only swim towards the shore by herself.

The wind commander hid behind this artificial hill. Seeing the crown prince run away, he finally made his appearance and told those around him to shout that someone had fallen into the water. Then, he jumped into the water himself and grabbed Miss Zhao Er, who was almost swimming to shore.

Dodo's voice was very excited.

"It seems this Wind Sovereign isn't so innocent after all!"

The ripples thought this wind leader was just passing by. Seeing someone drowning, he reached out to save them. Unexpectedly, the person grabbed the opportunity and decisively acted.

"Well, well, that Miss Zhao seemed to be at a loss when she saw that the Wind Commander had saved her. She fainted after getting ashore."

"If there's no solution to the problem, you can only pretend it doesn't exist."

Ripples agreed with Zhao Er Miss's actions. After all, the incident happened at An Ding Houfu, and the mansion would definitely have to give an explanation. As for what the Prime Minister's family planned, whether they would swallow their pride and accept this marriage or have other ways to solve the problem, it depended on how much the Prime Minister loved his daughter.

When ripples was happily chatting with the flowers, Lin Yaozu came to the back garden with his personal attendant to find Ripples.

"My husband, how did you get here"

Liàn Yī made a movement to get up, but she wasn't really going to stand. She was pushed back down by Lín Yào Zǔ.

"I don't trust you, my mother told me to come pick you up. I just arrived at the manor and heard from the servants that someone had fallen into the back garden pond. I got worried and rushed over."

After Lin Yaizu lifted his robe and sat down, he took a special look at Lianyi's belly.

"My husband, please rest assured. My mother-in-law has assigned me Zhen Mama to look after me. She won't even let me near the lake, only allowing me to stay here in this pavilion to cool down."

Ripple smiled and explained.

Lin Ya-zu nodded with satisfaction at Zhen Mama, his mother sent someone who was still very useful.

"My husband, this matter is likely to be quite troublesome."

Ripples lowered her voice deliberately.

Is the person who fell into the water a special individual

Lin Yaozhu asked.

Though his father was a Minister of War, he now held a lowly position, yet he still knew the ins and outs of the Imperial City.

"Still, Master is clever. It was the second Miss of the Prime Minister's family who fell into the water for no reason at all. She didn't even have a maid by her side. The one who saved her was the Wind Commander."

Speaking of which, the back garden is usually frequented by female guests, while male guests are over at my two brothers' courtyard. Apparently he ventured here.

Ripples hadn't finished speaking, but the meaning was clear.

"Just keep this to yourself. If anyone asks, pretend you don't know."

Lin Yaozu immediately said.

"Well, I only sent Granny Sun to inquire about the situation. Since you're here to pick me up, let's head back home! I'd rather not get involved in this matter."

The ripples spoke immediately.

Anyway, since she's going back to the An Ding Hou Mansion anyway, Lady Hou has already achieved her purpose of drugging her. Now that something has happened, she doesn't even have time to deal with her, so she might as well just leave with her husband.

"Well, I'm here to pick you up. Just have Zhen Mama inform Madam Hou. Don't be disrespectful."

Lin Yanzou immediately said.

He's pretty savvy when it comes to some things.

In less than half an hour, Lian'er and Lin Ya zu were already on their way back home in a carriage. This time, they didn’t bring along Granny Sun. After all, as a loyal servant, she wanted to fulfill her duty well, and Lian’er naturally wouldn’t stop her. Moreover, she had specially asked Granny Sun to stay for a few more days, waiting to hear the follow-up story when they returned.

So after Lian Ri returned to her own courtyard, she immediately asked Madam Lin to bring Zhen Mama over and made her the head mama of her courtyard.

The ripple's move tightened the nerves of all the servants in the courtyard. Grand Lady Zhen was an elder of the Shangshu Mansion, and she had been personally assigned by Madam Lin to serve the young mistress. Therefore, they dared not even harbor any petty thoughts.

Grandma Sun doesn't know yet that in five days, when she returns to the Minister's Mansion, her status will plummet.Sister, my uncle went out to pick someone up, please take care of me."Jaya acts like a little adult, explaining things to her uncle."Well, the person who goes to pick him up at this time must be your...
