After hearing this, Zeng Lanjun smiled and said, "Your Highness is really joking. Zeng is just a commoner, how can he help His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Du Yiqing held tea in her hand. When she heard Zeng Lanjun's words, her heart relaxed slightly. Zeng Lanjun refused.
When the prince heard this, he immediately showed a bit of displeasure: "Mr. Zeng, I have come to see you out of kindness, but I don't want to hear your excuses!"
Zeng Lanjun seemed to be a little scared, but he calmly gave the prince some tea.
"Prince, please don't be angry. Some time ago, the Emperor came to me and told me that winter was coming and the soldiers at the northern border needed a batch of winter clothes. Therefore... during this period, it is difficult to collect so many factors at once. Besides, the expenses of the Zeng family's property
It all requires the seals of me, my father and my mother, and Zeng has no say in this matter."
Du Yiqing raised her eyebrows. This move of the Zeng family was really a good way to protect their wealth, but she felt a little depressed in her heart. If it were the seals of the three of them, mother and son, her plan would have to be carefully considered.
The prince no longer gave in and said directly: "Then please go back and discuss with the old lady, Mr. Zeng. I am waiting for your reply!"
After saying that, he took out a jade plaque from his body with a picture of a python on it and placed it on the table.
"If you have anything to do, just take this to the Prince's Mansion!" After the Prince finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Zeng Lanjun to speak.
Zeng Lanjun didn't get up to see him off, he kept playing with the tea set in his hand.
When Du Yiqing saw the prince walking away, he reached out and picked up the jade plaque and said, "You didn't even answer him, why did he keep this?"
Zeng Lanjun glanced at Du Yiqing, with a bit of curiosity and incomprehension on her face, and then said: "He is giving me a general, so I have to agree..."
How could Du Yiqing not know that what she wanted to hear was Zeng Lanjun's thoughts.
"Ah... what should we do? Lan Jun, the prince cannot be offended by this person!" Du Yiqing asked pretending to be concerned.
Zeng Lanjun did not answer, but turned to stare at Du Yiqing, who looked concerned, staring hard, trying to see something from this woman's face.
"Qing'er, what the prince just said is true?!"
Huh? You thought this man didn’t care about his feelings anymore, and he still cares about this matter?
Du Yiqing pursed her lips and said unhappily: "You don't believe me?!"
Zeng Lanjun smiled bitterly in his heart, he wanted to believe it, but why was it that the person beside him that day was none other than Shangguan Yu?
Du Yiqing saw Zeng Lanjun's eyes locked on her, knowing that if she didn't explain clearly today, he would definitely become suspicious.
"That day, Cuilu and I went to pick out gifts for the queen. We were fascinated by the master who made the candy man, and when we almost got hit, we realized that Shangguan Yu happened to be beside us...Lan Jun, you don't believe me, do you?"
Yiqing asked with a somewhat heartbroken expression.
Zeng Lanjun did not answer and continued to ask: "What then?"
It was estimated that many people would see her and Shangguan Yu go out for dinner that day, so it would not be difficult for Zeng Lanjun to find out. It would definitely be unwise to lie.
"Then the third prince asked me if I had eaten. Cuilu and I were both hungry, so we went to eat, and then returned to the house..."
Du Yiqing answered honestly.
Zeng Lanjun's eyes narrowed and he stared for a few more minutes before calming down.
He put his arms around Du Yiqing and said in a deep voice: "Qing'er, don't have contact with him in the future, I don't like it!"
Du Yiqing replied softly: "Yes, I understand!"
It seems that until the plan is completed, he will avoid contact with Shangguan Yu in public. Now Zeng Lanjun is somewhat suspicious of himself, and I believe he will definitely find someone to monitor him...
