ave her. The daughter-in-law was really good to her, and Mu had never heard of any daughter-in-law who would be willing to give her mother-in-law pocket money.Mu didn't spend a single penny. After the...If this were normal times, Tanya would have simply tossed aside the blanket and crawled over to let Mama Wu tend to her wounds.

As soon as Mother Wu came closer, she hurriedly cried out.

"No need."

Wu Niang was taken aback, always feeling that the princess's expression was rather strange at this moment.

"The restaurant just opened today, and it'll be dinnertime soon. It's sure to be very busy."

"You don't have to worry about me, go take care of the business at the inn first. I've already taken the medicine, and my wound is fine, it didn't open."

Tana repeatedly assured her that she was, after all, the mistress. Even though Wu Niang was worried, she didn't dare continue. She could only nod and retreat back to her original position.

"Then, I'll have someone bring some food and fruit drinks. Your Highness didn't eat much at lunch, you must be hungry now."

Tana continued to shake her head, enduring the strange sensation of Zong Bai's hot breath spraying on her calf while trying to remain composed.

"No, I'm not hungry."

"Go ahead and get busy."

Under no circumstances can Wu's mother find out that a man is hidden under her bed. She was sent by her father to marry Da Xi, and before the emperor formally bestowed a marriage upon her, if word of this got out, all of them would be in danger of losing their lives.

"Really don't need the subordinates' help"

Tana raised an eyebrow, glanced at the door, and motioned for her to leave quickly.

Wu Niang was uneasy, always feeling that the princess was acting strangely today. But she obediently left anyway, even closing the door behind her as she went.

When there were no other people in the house, Zong Bai was still listening to the movement outside with his ears pricked up. Suddenly, he was kicked out of the room by a great force.

He rolled out of bed, raising his head to see Tanna's breathtaking yet icy face.

"Dare to look again! Be careful, this princess will dig out your eyes."

She was both ashamed and angry. The shame she had been suppressing finally bubbled up inside her, giving her a cold expression, though her cheeks were red as if they were about to bleed.

For the past decade, she had never been this close to a man!

Tana let out a sharp cry, and Zong Bai hurriedly turned around and closed his eyes. He scrambled to his feet and tried to run out, but halfway there he felt it was even worse to just leave like that.

He, his just now reckless actions strictly speaking have already destroyed this young lady's purity.

No, he can't be so irresponsible.

Zong Bai stopped in his tracks. Tana was just about to lift the covers and pick up her clothes when she saw him stop a few steps back and quickly pulled her hands back under the covers.

"Why aren't you leaving yet I'd like to dig out your eyes!"

She deliberately hurled insults, hoping the person would leave as soon as possible.

Zong Bai hurriedly waved his hand, and as soon as he moved, Tanna nervously hissed at him.

"No turning back!"

"I have no intention of coming over, rest assured, I will never watch this happen with my own eyes."

Tana glared at him coldly. "What else do you want to do"

"I just helped you."

Zong Bai nodded and said, "I know, thank you just now."

Having just finished the encounter, Zong Bai blushed and couldn't help it. The scent of this girl lingered on him, a mix of feminine fragrance and medicinal aroma. Now he realized, that medicinal scent was strangely familiar. It seemed like he had smelled it before somewhere.

It's just that my mind is too muddled right now, I can't think of it for a moment. Zongbo temporarily put it aside.

"Don't be afraid, miss. My surname is Zong, and my given name is Bai."

"I did not mean to offend you just now, I was truly forced into it."

"I'm sorry."

Tara saw that he was still reflecting on himself and apologizing. She thought this person wasn't bad at heart, so she kindly gave him a piece of advice.

Everything you heard under the covers just now, not a single word should be leaked. If you dare spread it, I'll have your tongue cut out.

Zong Bai smiled wryly. She was probably referring to her status as a princess, wasn't she

What a twisted fate! Could it be that she actually wants to marry his older brother

"Miss, according to our Daxian's etiquette and rules, although I just accidentally saw your body," he hurriedly added an explanation, "I still made a big mistake and defiled your innocence."

“I, I am willing to take responsibility for the young lady.”

If he could marry the princess of Beijang, wouldn't that indirectly resolve the crisis between his elder brother and sister-in-law

This is a great idea! Plus, he can also be responsible for it, a win-win situation.

Tana just smirked coldly, “Accountable to me”

"Didn't you already know my identity a moment ago"

"I was sent here to the Daxihe and Qin families. No one but Emperor Daxihe can make decisions about my marriage, not even myself."

There was a hint of melancholy in Tana's voice. Which woman would want her lifelong affairs to be dictated by others, everything controlled by fate Who could blame her, she was the princess of Beijang.

Raised by the support of the people, one naturally has to bear the responsibility of a princess and contribute to the well-being of the people and the northern border.

"I know."

"Don't worry, as long as you nod and agree, I'll definitely find a way to marry you."

Zong Bai's words startled Tana. Knowing her identity, could she still confidently say such things

Could he be a nobleman from Daxixi

"You said that marrying me only means being responsible for me"

Zong Bai just wanted to say something, but his mind involuntarily flashed images of Tanna's white and slender legs, the heat on his face rising directly to his ears.

Tana could see his ears were red even from behind him. She paused for a moment before laughing involuntarily.

This person, how come they are so easily shy, it's quite interesting.

"Fine, I guess so."

In short, I promise to do what I said I would for you. Wait for my news.

After he finished speaking, he hurried away.

The person Jiang Chuang had left the wine house, unable to find him he hurried to Jinshi Mountain Villa.

Zong Bai walked all the way out smoothly, but his expression was a bit flustered and dazed.

My heart was still pounding.

He leaned against the wall of the alley, calming his racing heart. Suddenly, a carriage screeched to a halt in front of him. Zong Bai thought Jiang Chuang's people had come again and hurriedly tried to run away.

Until she heard the voice of her younger sister, Yulian, coming from behind.

"It's me, second brother, what are you running from!"

Zong Bai stopped his steps and let out a breath. He turned around and walked towards the carriage.

"It's you! You scared the living daylights out of me."

"I thought Jiang Chuang's people had come again."

Yulian saw that her second brother's face was flushed, even his ears and neck had a faint blush. She felt something was strange.

"Second brother, what's wrong with your face Why is it so red."

Zong Bai's eyes darted around in panic, a woman's intuition was terrifying, especially since Yu Lian and Zong Bai were twins. They had grown up together, inseparable, and knew each other frighteningly well.

He just gave her a look and she knew something was up! Something was definitely wrong.

Second brother had never shown such an expression before, it was like he'd suddenly woken up!

Could it be that Second Brother has a girl he likes

My goodness, this is a groundbreaking discovery!

Yu Lian followed closely into the carriage, urging the driver to hurry. She sat beside Zong Bai with a gossipy look on her face, smiling in a strangely eerie way.

Zong Bai felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared at.

"What do you mean by that look"

"By the way, I told you to go back to the manor first and meet me at home. Why are you still around here Aren't you afraid Jiang Chuang's people will find you"aring this, Tiezhu frowned fiercely, turned around and looked for the person who had just spoken, glaring at him and opening his mouth to defend Fang Jinshu's interests."Didn't you just hear what Sist...
