Chapter 191 You're such a disappointment
Qin Yizhen had just taken a short nap when Lü Qiao knocked on the door, saying that Princess Huizhen had arrived.
Qin Yizhen frowned and groggily tried to get up.
Cheng Yan found Princess Huizhen annoying: "She's so big, but she doesn't have a brain. Why did she have to come at this time of year?"
Cheng Yan was unemployed at home and had nothing to do. Although he didn't have the habit of taking a midday nap, he didn't mind lying down with her in his arms for a while. With her soft and fragrant body in his arms, he felt very happy and enjoyed the warmth of being together.
Princess Huizhen's arrival at this time is rather annoying.
Seeing that Qin Yizhen was still a little dazed, he reached out and pulled her back to lie down, kissed her slightly tipsy cheek, brushed the hair off her forehead and kissed it again, and coaxed her, "You sleep, I'm going to see her."
Qin Yizhen hesitated for a moment: "If she can't see me, she'll probably be angry."
"Why do you care if she's angry or not? You don't owe her anything." Seeing that she was about to get up again, Cheng Yan pressed her back down. "Lie down. With me here, she won't dare to be angry."
Qin Yizhen thought about it and agreed, so she simply ignored it, buried her head in the pillow, covered herself with the quilt, and acted as if she didn't care even if the sky were to fall.
Cheng Yan tucked her in with a thin blanket, then got up, changed his clothes, and went to the front and main courtyards to see Princess Huizhen.
Princess Huizhen was still a little confused when she was taken to the front and main courtyards. When she saw that it was Cheng Yan sitting there waiting for her, her expression changed drastically, and she turned around and tried to run away.
"Stop." Cheng Yan spoke abruptly, his voice neither loud nor soft, neither fast nor slow, yet it made Princess Huizhen stop in her tracks, her forehead beaded with sweat.
She turned around stiffly, cautiously stepped forward, and forced an awkward smile: "Little...Little Uncle, it's you?"
"She's taking a nap." Cheng Yan glanced at Princess Huizhen indifferently. "What brings you here?"
"A...noon break?" Princess Huizhen's voice rose slightly, indicating her displeasure. In the past, if she came to see Qin Yizhen, she would have to get up even in the middle of the night, let alone take a noon break.
"Uncle!" Princess Huizhen stomped her foot in dissatisfaction. "She's only doing this because you're backing her up, and she doesn't even give me any face anymore."
That's really showing a lack of understanding of the situation.
Cheng Yan reached up and frowned: "So what if she takes advantage of me backing her up? She's my wife, what's wrong with me backing her up?"
Princess Huizhen immediately said, "Then what about me? Uncle, is she more important or am I?"
"I think you're still half asleep." Cheng Yan thought she was crazy. "Are you trying to humiliate yourself by asking that? Besides, what's the point of comparing these things?"
I don't know what's wrong with her, arguing about this every day.
Princess Huizhen scoffed coldly: "Isn't it all because you're shameless? If you had married someone else, I wouldn't care whether you treated her well or not, but who told you to marry Yizhen?"
"You mean, this is still my fault?"
"Of course, it's because you married my sister! We're sisters, yet you treat her differently, being gentle and attentive to her while being cold, stern, and harsh towards me. Can't I have a problem with that?"
"Look at my hands, look at my hands..." Princess Huizhen rolled up her sleeves, revealing some lingering blue and red marks from bumps and bruises during training.
"How did you treat me, and how did you treat her? She was taking a nap, and you thought I was being nosy and bothering her, didn't you?"
Cheng Yan: "......"
He was speechless, unable to utter a word.
"Fine, fine, it's my fault. You can be jealous all you want, but I won't change." He admitted defeat. After all, he was the one who insisted on marrying her, but his attitude was clear and he would never change it.
"What brings you here at this hour? Aren't you scheduled to train today?"
Speaking of training, Princess Huizhen's lips twitched, wondering when this ordeal would end: "I have something to do today, so I asked my master for leave. By the way, I came to find Yizhen. Just now, news came from the Dali Temple that the case of the burning of Fanghua Pavilion needs to be investigated today, and the Dali Temple requests my presence."
"Yizhen is going too?" Cheng Yan squinted.
When Fanghua Pavilion was burned down, Princess Huizhen, as the owner of Yachun Pavilion, had some conflicts with Fanghua Pavilion and Fang Shixin, and was therefore a suspect. She should indeed go there. However, Qin Yizhen could not provide any testimony because the arsonist Zhang Hui had only casually mentioned her and had a grudge against the Pingxi Marquis's mansion.
"I didn't know that the Court of Judicial Review didn't come to the Marquis of Pingxi's residence?"
"If I had come, would I not have known?"
That's true.
"Then ask her if she wants to come with me to see what's going on in this case. She almost framed me. If I find out who it was, I'll skin them alive."
"Go by yourself." Cheng Yan refused her directly. "Yi Zhen is not a person who likes crowds. Too many people will give her a headache. I will send someone over to check in a while, in case someone splashes water on her."
"So she went last time?"
Cheng Yan glanced at Princess Huizhen and said indifferently, "She was worried about you last time. When she heard that you had been taken to the Jingzhao Prefecture, she rushed over there."
"Huh?" Princess Huizhen paused.
Cheng Yan reached up and rubbed his temples: "So you really don't need to have such a big problem with her. She really hasn't done anything wrong to you. She's my wife. I treat her better than you and spoil her. That's perfectly normal. Besides, I haven't been indifferent to you, have I?"
Princess Huizhen's cheeks puffed up with anger: "You care about me, so you send someone to scold me?"
"It's all because you're too unruly. We're disciplining you to either teach you to behave yourself or to make you a better fighter."
"Then what about all the beatings I got?"
"You're hopeless."
Princess Huizhen: "..."
Princess Huizhen grabbed her hair and started pulling at it, then turned and stormed out, shouting angrily, "I'm so angry! I'm so angry!!!"
What kind of uncle is she?
What kind of uncle acts like this?!
This is absolutely infuriating!
Ahhhhh!
Princess Huizhen stormed off. Cheng Yan shook his head helplessly and chuckled, then summoned a guard:
"Send two men to accompany her. Please ask Mr. Yun to handle this matter at the Dali Temple on my behalf. Firstly, keep an eye on Princess Huizhen to prevent her from getting into a fight in a fit of anger. Secondly, prevent anyone from blaming the two princesses."
"Yes."
The guards obeyed and left. Cheng Yan reached for the teacup beside him, took a sip, and couldn't help but laugh: "Let's see if you're still arrogant. I don't believe I can't control you."
However, he couldn't help feeling a little worried when he thought about the sudden early trial of the Fanghua Pavilion burning case.
Have all the spies that Liang Xize planted in Dongqin really been uncovered?
