Cheng Muqing looked at Lin Heng in confusion.

The other party looked back at him pitifully, as if asking, "Did I do something wrong?"

His expression was so sweet and pitiful. Cheng Muqing couldn't help but touched his head and asked with a smile, "Have you finished eating?"

"No, I'm waiting for you." Lin Heng replied obediently.

"Seventh brother, have a good rest. I'll leave first for my brother." Lin Yan's voice came from the door.

Cheng Muqing turned around subconsciously.

As a master, you should send gifts to each other.

"I'll give it to you." Lin Heng grabbed her arm, "You haven't finished eating yet."

It was quite considerate, Cheng Muqing raised an eyebrow.

The moment Lin Heng walked out of the room, he did not forget to close the door.

Seeing that the person sending him off was Lin Heng, Lin Yan burst into laughter.

As if he was troubled, Lin Heng's body was a little bowed, and his expression was a little unnatural.

"Go back, I don't need you to send me away." Lin Yan wiped the tears from his eyes.

As an elder brother, he naturally knows that his younger brother actually has no feelings for him. In fact, he does the same.

It's just that as the prince, he should treat brothers with respect and set an example morally.

Inside the house, Cheng Muqing saw Lin Heng leaving and returning, and knew that Lin Yan had left on his own initiative and would not let him see him off.

"Why...does he always come?" Lin Heng said coyly.

"He?" Cheng Muqing paused, "He is your brother, so he naturally comes to see you."

Besides, you don’t always come, right? Just these two times?

"You...keep calling him by his name."

"Yeah." Cheng Muqing nodded.

"Why?"

"Huh?" Cheng Muqing scratched his head, "Are you used to it?"

"So is it customary for you to call me Prince?"

"Yeah." Cheng Muqing blinked twice.

"Oh..." Lin Heng lowered his head, unable to tell what he was thinking.

He has always been thoughtful and doesn't like to express himself. At first, Cheng Muqing would give some advice, but later she discovered that he just didn't communicate, so there was no need to force him.

"Your Majesty, I want to go back to Wu'anhou Mansion after dinner. Do you want to come with me?"

After two days of rest, it’s time to go see my family.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded.

"This seems to be the first time you have returned to your parents' home with me." Cheng Muqing chuckled, "Just in time to make up for the wedding trip."

"On the day we got married, you didn't even say a word to me..." Lin Heng felt aggrieved, "You didn't come to see me after that..."

What he said was meaningless, but Cheng Muqing heard it - I also wanted to accompany you back to my parents' home, but you didn't give me a chance.

"Ahem... That's because I know that you like to be alone, Prince." Cheng Muqing explained, "I'm afraid that if I come, you will feel uncomfortable and unhappy."

"You..." Lin Heng felt his throat tightening and his Adam's apple sliding up and down, "Actually, you can come... you can always..."

"Why?" At that time, they were not familiar with each other.

Lin Heng was stunned for a moment and replied, "You are here, I feel very at ease."

Cheng Muqing's face was full of surprise. Did he already leave him with a "very safe" image at that time?

…

Under Jin Xi's care, the carriage was ready and a heater was installed in the carriage room.

The sun is shining brightly and the wind is refreshing, making it a good weather to go out.

Cheng Muqing raised his feet, boarded the carriage, stood on the carriage and looked down, "Your Majesty, let's go."

Lin Heng wore an indigo robe embroidered with cloud patterns and a cape with white fox fur. The furry hood swung slightly, covering his face.

This time he did not let her help him, and climbed into the carriage by himself.

Cheng Muqing's eyes softened, and he followed him into the carriage.

The horse's hooves hit the ground and stirred up a gust of wind and dust.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the Marquis Wu'an Mansion.

In the Marquis Wu'an's Mansion, the servants worked in an orderly manner and did not talk much.

The little maid standing at the door respectfully led Cheng Muqing and Lin Heng into the main hall.

In the main hall, the seats are arranged neatly and symmetrically.

A pair of blue and white porcelain is placed on each table, with a plum blossom in the vase.

The plum blossoms are pink, the flowers spit out rouge, and the subtle fragrance floats. The placement is symmetrical.

The bead curtains hit each other and made a crisp sound.

The first person to come was Mrs. Tao, followed by Mrs. Chu, Cheng Muqing's sister-in-law, and her younger brother Cheng Muhan.

After the Great War between Jin and Qi, the elder of the Cheng family was granted the title of General Dingyuan and guarded the northern area ever since. He was not allowed to return to Beijing except for festivals and special circumstances.

"My wife has met the prince and the princess." Mrs. Tao took her eldest daughter-in-law and her youngest son to salute.

Cheng Muqing returned the gift according to the rules.

Although Lin Heng was not surprised by this kind of greeting scene, he still wanted to escape when faced with it.

"How are you?" Cheng Muqing looked at his younger brother.

"Thanks to sister A, everything is fine!" Cheng Muhan snorted.

Seeing that he was so lively and energetic, Cheng Muqing was relieved.

"Where's dad?" Cheng Muqing looked around.

"My father-in-law went out with his friends." Mrs. Chu replied.

"Oh..." Cheng Muqing secretly glanced at Mr. Tao and saw that his expression was cold.

"Brother-in-law!" Cheng Muhan jumped up to Lin Heng, "This is the first time I've seen you come! When my sister came home, you didn't even follow me."

"The princess didn't call me..."

"At that time, I thought the prince was withdrawn, so I didn't bring him back." Cheng Muqing said with a smile.

"You're still laughing." Mrs. Tao couldn't help but knock her on the head.

"Well..."

"I've heard about this." Tao's eyes were sharp, "You are so reckless, I think someone must be arranged for you to watch you."

"Mother……"

"What did you think when you took your young brother deep into the tiger's den two days ago?" Mrs. Tao looked sullen.

"Hey...those children are not taken seriously and the government doesn't care about them. The guards of Prince Qi's Mansion are good at fighting, but they are not good at finding people. Lin Yan doesn't believe me and only concentrates on investigating the few slaves who were sold to other mansions.

I can only risk my life..." Cheng Muqing said, "Involving my younger brother is just to increase the probability."

"Then do you know how risky your behavior is?" Tao scolded.

Seeing Cheng Muqing being taught a lesson, Lin Heng got the courage from nowhere, stepped forward and stood in front of Cheng Muqing.

He licked his dry lips, "No... no, don't talk about her..."

The air was quiet for a moment.

"Wow! Brother-in-law, you actually dare to contradict your mother-in-law!" Cheng Muhan was the first to speak out.

"No one will think you are mute if you don't speak." Tao glanced at him coldly.

Cheng Muhan immediately silenced himself.

"Ahem..." Cheng Muqing coughed lightly to break the awkward situation, "My lord, why don't you go see my little nephew?"

She was talking about the baby that Chu was holding in her hands.

Lin Heng looked over and saw that the little baby was very cute.

"Would you like a hug?" Ms. Chu had a gentle smile on her face and brought the baby in her hand closer to him.

"I..." Lin Heng stiffened and shook his head.

He was afraid that he would drop the child.

"Why not?" Cheng Muqing saw a little loss in his eyes and touched his arm, "Let's try it."

"No……"

"Come on, try it." Mrs. Chu put the child in his hand.
