Lance's was helpless, but he could only nod his head in gratitude.

Jin Chuao's attendants naturally understood what the First Prince meant, and had already ordered for people to place a teapot on the snow outside, as they passed an empty teapot to the Lance's.

The Lance's clenched his teeth and could only accept it. He turned and walked out of the antechamber. Sun Jingyu was a little unwilling in his heart, but if he stood up now, and if he was afraid of offending the First Prince, his future prospects would be in the hands of the First Prince.

Sun Jinzi stared closely at the back of the Lance's. Although she was a little desolate, how could she not be like this?

That year, her mother was not around. At a family banquet, she drank a mouthful of tea because it was too cold to swallow. After spitting it out, she was chased by Lance's out to Peng Xue to make tea.

At such a young age, how could she even start a fire? She tossed and turned for a long time, and when the fire was lit, she took the snow to live with it, but was still rejected. She said that she did not wash her hands before boiling the water.

His father watched the entire process from the side. It was as calm as it was now. It was probably in vain that she hoped that he would pity her. Who would such a man have any feelings for?

It was better not to have extravagant hopes. It was just that his mother might not be able to see through this. However, who was the culprit behind the soup? His mother had never gotten pregnant, so had his father never thought about it before?

Sun Jinzi found all of this very strange, but she wanted to slowly investigate, so that the enemies hiding in the shadows would not be able to hide.

Sun Jinzi was also afraid, afraid that at the very end of the investigation, the enemies would all be her relatives.

Qian Linchuan's eyelids slightly closed, his gaze as calm as water. He was even more certain in his heart that it was necessary to bring Sun Jinzi away from this place. He was not the emperor, but he knew that if he were to obstruct the imperial court, the women who would bring chaos would bring disaster to their beauty.

Forget about First Prince, Sixth Prince also has feelings for her. The battle between two princes would probably be the source of all the fights in the future.

How could Sun Jinzi bear such a crime?

Raising her head to look, she saw that Sun Jinzi was just quietly staring at the figure walking back and forth outside, Qian Linchuan did not know what kind of hatred could cause Sun Jinzi to become like this. However, she also did not like this Lance's.

He had already looked for the person who kidnapped and sold Sun Jinzi, and he couldn't tell which lady it was from. He only knew that it was a mama who contacted him and got paid.

The word 'thorn' on the money bag was already unclear, but it couldn't escape from Lance's and the Zhong's.

Maybe because there was a fire inside the furnace, Lance's did not spend too much effort to boil the water.

That was also why when the tea was served, Lance's's hands were still dyed red from the cold. It was barely discernible that it had thickened, and her rosy nails were broken while holding the snow, making her look extremely terrifying.

"First Prince, body of concubine has already boiled the tea."

He respectfully placed the tea cup on the table and looked at Jin Chuao obsequiously.

Jin Chuao merely looked at Lance's indifferently, "With everyone here, you only made a cup of tea, how can I be qualified to drink it alone?"

Lance's was startled, he was annoyed, but he could only apologize and go outside to make more tea.

Although Sun Jingyu was a little dissatisfied with the First Prince, he felt that his mother was even more stupid. If it was already cooked, why would he need to go out and waste time?

Sun Jinzi looked at Sun Jingyu and instantly felt sorry for Lance's. If her mother was like this, she would definitely plead for mercy. If not, then she would also be punished along with her mother.

He sighed and his heart turned cold. He didn't know if this was the case for humans, or if it was only people whose interests were more important to them.

There was more than enough water in the teapot to boil a little more.

When the Lance's filled the cups of tea one by one, Jin Chuao's complexion finally eased a little.

"Everyone, have a taste of Lance's's tea?"

Sun Fuping naturally took the lead and replied, he had been standing by the wind for the whole morning, so he was already extremely cold. Now that he had a mouthful of hot tea, he naturally did not reject, and poured it into his mouth.

"Aunt Lan, did you wash your hands before you made the tea?"

Sun Jinzi's weak voice sounded wronged, but it sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.

The teacup Liushi had just raised was gently put down on the table as well. Jin Chuao took a sip of tea, then swallowed it back. He puffed his cheeks and looked at Lance's.

Lance's's face revealed a look of distress, she did not need him to say anything, and had already explained everything.

Sun Fuping, on the other hand, spat out a mouthful of tea without giving his any face.

Originally, they could have left earlier this morning because Lance's was in a hurry to go to the toilet, which was why they took up a bit of time.

This caused Sun Fuping to instantly feel extremely disgusted. He really wanted to spit out the tea that he had already drunk, but he was afraid of revolting First Prince, so he forced himself to endure.

When everyone had cast their gaze towards Sun Fuping, Jin Chuao then stealthily brought the tea in his mouth to the teacup, and ruthlessly smashed it towards Lance's.

"Is Lance's humiliating me?"

The Lance's kneeled to the ground in fear, screaming from the bottom of his heart that he did not dare, while Sun Jingyu did not dare open his mouth to plead. But if Sun Jinzi did not speak, then who would know if she slept? This girl was simply making life difficult for her mother.

"Please calm your anger First Prince. I also thought that this Aunt Lan had worked hard in the first place so I made a joke. I hope this First Prince does not punish me."

Since Sun Jinzi had spoken, First Prince could not help but agree to it. He looked at Sun Jinzi with a hint of a smile on his face.

"Since Zi Er has already spoken, then I can't help but to give you face. Lance's, you may leave, I don't want to see you right now."

Lance's hurriedly thanked him. When he got up, he glared fiercely at Sun Jinzi. The Lance's would naturally not accept Sun Jinzi's kindness.

However, Sun Jinzi did not expect her to accept her kindness, she only looked at her miserable back, and felt that it was really fun. Right now, the Lance's's heart was feeling extremely uncomfortable. Even her husband and son didn't plead for her, and the person who spoke up for her was the person she hated the most at the moment.

Sun Jinzi calmly accepted Sun Jingyu's gaze. Sun Jinzi had not even started to take revenge on Mu Lan, how could she let them go so easily after harming Mu Lan to that extent?

"Zi Er, how have you been recently?"

Jin Chuao knew that Sun Jinzi was intentionally making things difficult for the Lance's, and had already stepped out for her. Jin Chuao wanted to see her grateful towards him even more.

Sun Jinzi retracted her gaze, and looked at Jin Chuao, and smiled: "Very good. However —

"But what?"

Seeing how much the First Prince cared about Sun Jinzi, Sun Jingyu was even more furious in her heart. Right now, he had nothing to do with Sun Jinzi at all, but his own sister was his lateral consort.

"It's just that Aunt Lan is Big Sister Ning's mother after all. Will First Prince make Big Sister unhappy?"

Jin Chuao's smile then congealed on his face, but he originally wanted to curry favor with Sun Jinzi, so how could he care so much about Sun Jinning.

"She's only a woman, and yet she dares to have such a solitary temper. She doesn't dare."

Sun Jinzi laughed, and did not reply. She only thought that Sun Fuping and Sun Jingyu's expressions were probably very rich.

One was because he felt sorry for his sister, and the other was because he was worried about the career path that the First Prince could bring him. After all, his daughter was married to the First Prince, so naturally, he and the First Prince were tied on the same rope.

"Is the First Prince doing well today?"

Liushi originally wanted to give the order to expel Sun Jinzi, but being stared at by First Prince like this caused her to feel more or less uncomfortable in her heart. From his words, Liushi felt that it was fortunate that Sun Jinzi did not marry First Prince, otherwise, she would be the one suffering in the future.

Jin Chuao thought that the Liushi was concerned about some of his matters in the imperial court, and thought to himself, "Thank you for your advice, today, the royal father had indeed arranged for me to go to the Department of Public Affairs to pass on the information. "Then, I'll take my leave first and pay you a visit another day."

Jin Chuao stood up, and everyone in the house also stood up, wanting to send his out.

"No need to trouble Grandma, just let Zi Er send me out, okay?"

Sun Jinzi looked at Liushi and nodded slightly. Liushi nodded in agreement.

On the veranda, there was more or less a bit of snow. With a creak as she stepped on it, Sun Jinzi gradually forgot about having Jin Chuao by her side.

The only difference was that the snow on the porch had somewhat melted and turned into ice. Sun Jinzi's foot slipped, but fortunately was supported by Jin Chuao, and thus did not fall.

"You're so old and yet you're still so careless."

Hugging onto that soft body, Jin Chuao felt relaxed and happy, he just wanted to hug Sun Jinzi tighter, Sun Jinzi really did not give him the chance.

She stood up straight and thanked Jin Chuao. Looking at the face that was similar to Jin Chupei's, his heart was filled with countless of thoughts. No wonder when he walked on the porch in the winter, he only needed to walk beside her and let her walk inside.

The smile on her face moved her heart even more. Some people's care and love do not come out, but are subtly implicit in some actions. Just like Jin Chupei, whenever she thought of him, her heart would always feel warm.

"Zi Er, you look so pretty when you smile."

Sun Jinzi was startled, then stopped smiling, "First Prince still has matters to attend to, I will send you out."

Jin Chuao did not mind, and continued to follow Sun Jinzi's footsteps slowly, walking shoulder to shoulder with her. Sun Jinzi secretly cursed in her heart. She just regretted that the corridor was a little too winding, and Jin Chupei wasn't willing to walk in the snow. If he walked in the snow, he would be able to move even faster.

"Zi Er, go slowly, I'm not in a hurry."

Sun Jinzi could only nod her head, his footsteps did not slow down. Helpless, Jin Chuao could only follow in Sun Jinzi's footsteps.

"First Prince, since Big Sis has already married you, I hope that you can treat her well."

"What about you?"

"I what?"

Jin Chuao looked deeply at Sun Jinzi, wanting to read a hint of emotion from her eyes, but he was disappointed. He clenched his fists tightly. He was frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.

"Zi Er, don't worry. I will ask the royal father for an order and set a date for the marriage."

Sun Jinzi did not say anything big, she watched as Jin Chuao climbed onto the carriage, then stepped into the snow and slowly walked back. She wasn't worried at all, he knew that if the emperor still wanted her to marry Jin Chuao, she wouldn't be so late in making the decree.
