However, when Zong Jincheng hurriedly rushed to the front hall while putting on his outer robe, he saw a pretty girl laughing with Xu Wan.

Zong Jincheng: "..."

It made me look like a clown for worrying about her.

He gritted his teeth and said to Shunzi: "Didn't you say that the Eighteenth Princess was probably here to make trouble for Zhai Yao? What are they laughing at?"

Shunzi stammered and couldn't speak: "Yes, it's the Eighteenth Princess..."

But...how did it become like this?

This world has become crazy as they dare not imagine!

The Eighteenth Princess Zhaorong did come for Zhai Yao at first. Mrs. Zhai told her about Zhai Yao's miserable situation, the prince's partiality, and the arrogance of the Marquis' Mansion. Zhaorong was deceived and came here arrogantly, asking Xu Wan to ask the prince to release her.

But she met Xu Wan, who was the best at reading people's hearts. She knew at a glance that the Eighteenth Princess was being used as a pawn, so she told the whole story of Zhai Yao. When Zhaorong heard the end, she slammed the table and praised the prince for punishing her well!

The Eighteenth Princess has been in the palace for many years. The people she met were either flattering her, or afraid of her because of her reputation, and some were against her.

Anyway, she had never seen Xu Wan like this. She was neither angry nor afraid of her bossy behavior. Instead, she talked gently and eloquently, which made her completely convinced, as if she had met a confidant in life.

Then the two talked about everything from the Zhai family to the prince, from the marquis's mansion to the palace, and the more they talked, the more they got along -

They became sisters.

"Hey? Is this your disobedient stepson?" Princess Eighteen looked at the boy at the door and said bluntly, "He doesn't look good. He can't even wear shoes and his clothes are untidy."

Zong Jincheng: "..."

He hates this kind of woman who says bad things about people without telling them!

Princess Eighteen said again: "Oh, he can also glare at me. He is really a little devil. Does the prince like such a child? No wonder he loves me the most."

Xu Wan: "..."

Why do you start to make fun of yourself while making fun of others?

Is this the characteristic of people who can't hide things in their hearts?

Zong Jincheng was originally dissatisfied with her, but she was not so angry after hearing this. She still has a clear understanding of herself!

The little devil came in a hurry. This time, he saw that there was nothing wrong, so he stopped and cleaned himself up, and the sound of the two people talking came to his ears again.

Princess Eighteen said, "But I really can't come here in vain. My aunt comes to my palace every day to cry and complain that Xiaoyao has been suffering from fever and infection recently, and the cold has not healed. I am also worried that something will happen to him in the slums."

Xu Wan said, "I understand. I will go to the East Palace to see His Highness in person and ask him to end the punishment of Zhai Yao."

Zong Jincheng immediately disagreed when he heard this: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has punished him to live in the slums in the future. Why let him come back? Have you forgotten the way he kicked Grandpa Zhao?"

Xu Wan certainly didn't forget.

However, "Zhai Yao is wrong, but he is not guilty of death."

The original intention of the prince was to punish the child, not to kill a nine-year-old child. He probably wouldn't have thought how difficult it would be to survive in a place like the slums.

If Zhai Yao really died, His Highness the Crown Prince would probably be in trouble.

"Is it that serious?" Zong Jincheng frowned and said, "Jingzhe's previous injuries were much more serious than his, but not to the point of life and death like Zhai Yao."

"Jingzhe and Zhai Yao grew up in different environments, and his adaptability is stronger than Zhai Yao. And the Crown Prince strictly controls the slums, and the medicinal materials that Zhai Yao can use are not as good as the ones we send to Jingzhe. If it goes on like this, he might be in danger of his life." Xu Wan asked him, "If Zhai Yao really dies, do you think it's a small matter?"

Children of eight or nine years old already know what death is. A living person disappears from this world forever, and his relatives are more painful than each other.

Zong Jincheng thought about it, and it seemed that it would be too serious if he really died.

But he couldn't let go of his pride and was too embarrassed to say it, so he asked back: "So are we going to let him go? I don't know if he has changed. If he is still like that, I don't want him to continue to hurt people..."

Xu Wan said: "It depends on how the Crown Prince will deal with him later. We just have to do what we should do and leave the rest to fate."

Zong Jincheng said with an "oh", "Then you go, I won't go."

"I'm not asking you to go." Xu Wan rolled her eyes at him.

Zong Jincheng made a face at her, turned around and ran away.

Seeing them going back and forth, the eighteenth princess also became interested, "Is this how you usually teach him? You look so tired, you have to talk about so many truths."

Xu Wan smiled and said, "Children's cognition is still superficial, and they will understand if you talk about the truth properly."

The eighteenth princess said embarrassedly, "In fact, I know you are going to go because of my face. In any case, this princess has remembered this favor. If you have anything in the future, just ask someone to find me. My palace is easier to enter than the East Palace of the Crown Prince."

"Hahaha..." Xu Wan laughed with her, "It's rare for the princess to go out of the palace. I will take the princess to visit the Marquis' Mansion."

"Okay, let me see the study room where your two children study. I heard that your study room is very big."

"It was built for my husband by my mother-in-law. He has loved reading since he was a child."

"That Zong Jincheng is too different from him."

"Maybe he is like the old marquis. I heard that my father-in-law didn't like reading since he was a child."

"Hahaha... It's settled."

After sending the Eighteenth Princess away, Xu Wan packed up her things and went to the East Palace to ask for an audience with the Crown Princess.

The Crown Prince was in poor health, so she didn't dare to bother him casually. Besides, as a woman, it was more appropriate for her to ask for an audience with the Crown Princess.

Sure enough, after hearing about it, the Crown Princess summoned her immediately.

"I am Xu, and I greet the Crown Princess. Hello, Queen."

"No need to be polite," the Crown Princess said with a smile, "Come on, give Madam Zong a seat."

"Thank you, Queen."

After Xu Wan sat down, she told him the whole story of the Eighteenth Princess coming to the palace to plead for Zhai Yao, and finally brought out her own request, hoping that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would release Zhai Yao.

The Crown Princess looked at her steadily and smiled, "You are smart enough to know to come to see me. Before, no matter who asked to see His Royal Highness for Zhai Yao, His Royal Highness would refuse."

Xu Wan looked up, a little surprised.

It turned out that it was not as the outside world said, but that it was the Crown Prince himself who pushed?
