    Shen Jie clenched his fists in his sleeves, with a calm expression on his face, “I don’t need to worry about it, Third Prince.”

    “Women can just play around, why should they be devoted…” Chu De muttered disdainfully.

    When Shen Jie heard this, his smile was concealed, “Then why does Brother Chu go to the mass graves outside the city to burn paper graves every March 3rd?”

    “You!” Chu De stood up and pointed at Shen Jie, his face turning red and white.

    Everyone has bottom lines and concerns that cannot be touched.Chu Zheng smiled and tried to smooth things over, “It’s just a joke, how can we make our faces red in the face?”

    Lin Shuyan agreed, brushing the lid of the tea, “Cousin, drink tea, brother Chu, drink tea. Your Highness, the Junshan Silver Needle here is rare.”

    Chu Zheng smiled and said, “Shu Yan likes it, so I will give you two taels as a gift.” Seeing Chu De looking at him, he shook his head, “Third brother is not a tea lover, so there is no need to join in the fun.”

    Chu De glanced around and curled up the corners of his mouth, “I wonder if big brother has anything good for us two?” His eyes pointed to Chu Zheng and Shen Jie beside him.

    It is never good for ministers to be biased. Chu Zheng asked: “The Crown Princess made some almond cakes with her own hands yesterday. Would Shen Qing and the third brother want to bring some back for your wife to try?”

    Chu De was greedy and immediately delighted, “My sister-in-law made it, just give it to me, my princess doesn’t like it!”

    When he heard “almond”, Shen Jie frowned. He wanted to refuse, but then he changed his mind and hesitantly agreed, “Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness.”

    Chu De looked at Shen Jie in surprise, “Aren’t almonds banned in your house?”

    Now Chu Zheng was also confused and asked Shen Jie with his eyes.

    Chu De explained quickly, “One time when we were drinking outside, Mrs. Shen from He’s family threatened to beat the cook to death. The cook’s husband came to Brother Shen to plead for mercy. When he asked, he found out that it was because of a plate of almond cheese that Mrs. Shen didn’t like, so… tsk tsk…” The tone at the end was rather disapproving.

    Chu Zheng had long heard that Du Yaoyao was arrogant and domineering. The last time he went back to the palace for a banquet, he saw that she was just a weak woman. He thought the rumors were false and never expected to be so fierce.Then he looked at Shen Jie’s eyes with a hint of amusement and sympathy.

    “With such a fierce woman, Shen Qing needs to strengthen his husband!”

    “I’m working hard.” Shen Jie gritted his molars and said every word.

    Chu Zheng left with a smile, and the maids distributed gifts.

    Chu De felt happy when he saw Shen Jie deflated, and reached out to grab the box of snacks he packed.

    “Brother Shen, why don’t I share the almond cake with you? After eating this, kiss Du Yaoyao on the mouth, or she will kick you out of bed!”

    “When did the Third Prince love dogs and mice so much?” Shen Jie raised his hand to hide and glared coldly.

    “How dare you say that this king is meddling in other people’s business!” Chu De grinned and chased he as he walked out.

    The three of them walked outside the palace gate and were about to get into the carriage.

    Shen Jie bowed his head and thanked Lin Shuyan, “Thank you Shuyan for what happened last time.”

    This is the last time Xie He helped Du Yaoyao out of trouble in the brothel.

    Lin Shuyan returned the favor, “This is what Shuyan should do.”

    He hesitated and wanted to ask how Du Yaoyao was doing. “Mrs. Shen” was too distant and “cousin-sister” couldn’t call her out. He hesitated for a long time, “Is she…is she okay?”

    Hearing “she”, Shen Jie raised his eyebrows and smiled calmly, “My wife, I will take care of you.”

    Thinking of the discarded blue coat, he said: “Your coat is stained. She said that she would compensate you. When I have time, I will ask a tailor to go to the Lin Mansion to make a set for you.”

    Lin Shuyan shook his head, “My brothers don’t need to be polite.”

    Shen Jie said with a smile: “Yaoyao said that I don’t want to owe you, so I will do it for my brother.”

    Lin Shuyan thought of her soft body and timid voice, and the throbbing sparks in his heart were gradually doused by the cold water of reason.

    Finally he said, “Thank you, cousin.”

    Shen Jie was satisfied, “My brother and sister-in-law don’t need to say thank you.”

    Chu De Lao Yuan saw that the two of them could not leave, so he shouted from the carriage: “What are you two doing?”

    “Thank you!” Shen Jie replied.

    “Thank you!” Chu De shouted, “I have a share of the credit for that. I also helped that day. Brother Shen, please invite me to Baihua House for a drink someday!”

    “I’m so obsessed that the old house is on fire and there’s no way to save it!” Shen Jie repeated what he said in the East Palace, mouthing the word “he”.

    “Get out of here!”
