C79 The Stolen Letter!

San Qi did not wait for the little girl to be punished, but instead waited for him to be punished on New Year’s Eve.

He was carrying a bucket of water with both of his arms and squatted with his legs crossed. He felt bitter, but he could not say it out loud.

Wuwu, it was really like a pot falling from the sky when one was at home.

The prince did not punish the little girl for ruining his brush, flowers, and stealing the medicine. Instead, he punished him for bringing the little girl to see the medicine that was stored in the storehouse. The reason was that he blamed her for bringing the little girl there, so that she had the chance to steal the medicine.

This, this was not the fault of the murderer, but the fault of the one who borrowed the knife…

Was this something he could control? This girl was as smart as a monkey, but he did not let her follow him. He was afraid that she might cause trouble.

San Qi felt that it was too difficult to be a lackey, especially a lackey who was biased towards the master!

On New Year’s Eve, the palace held a banquet. Gu Jun’an was bound to bring Lan Qingqian there.

They came late, and most of the people had already taken their seats. As soon as they sat down, the crown prince ran over from the empress and sat beside Lan Qingqian. “Little Nine, why haven’t you come to play in the palace lately? I missed you.”

In front of Gu Jun’an, he said that he missed his little wife. He was treating him as a decoration.

Gu Jun’an’s face was stinky. “Crown Prince Gu, it seems that you have been studying less recently. You have time now.”

The crown prince had already suffered a loss, so he immediately became more honest. He lowered his head and said, “Imperial Uncle, I know I was wrong. I don’t study much. It’s the New Year’s Eve, and the Tutors are on vacation.” The meaning was that he was telling Gu Jun’an that he could not persuade the Tutors.

Gu Jun’an smiled and looked meaningfully at his hand. “I am quite free recently. How about I teach the Crown Prince personally? I think your father will be happy that you have improved.”

The Crown Prince stared at his hand and shook his head immediately. “Thank you for your kindness, Uncle. No need. I am fine now.”

“Then get back to your seat.” Gu Jun’an said coldly. He was satisfied when he saw the Crown Prince running away quickly.

Heh, at such a young age, he knew how to be with girls!

He also reminded Lan Qingqian, “Look at how stupid the Crown Prince is. You should stay away from him so that he won’t infect you.”

“Will the stupidity infect you?” Lan Qingqian asked uncertainly.

Gu Jun’an swore, “Of course.”

Wei Lianyi, who was sitting not far away, had her eyes on Gu Jun’an ever since he came in. However, Gu Jun’an didn’t even look at her. Instead, he was feeding the little girl next to him.

It seemed that this little girl was quite important in the eyes of the Seventh Prince. When she thought about what happened last time, Wei Lianyi felt that she had to explain it to him.

She slowly walked over and bowed before she said, “Your Highness, the Ninth Princess. I am here to apologize to you. My concubine was ignorant and offended Your Highness last time, which caused an unnecessary misunderstanding. I have already explained the reason to father when I went back. Father severely punished her. I hope that Your Highness won’t be angry.”

“Last time, she stepped on me and wronged me. I pushed her and it was already even.” Lan Qingqian saw that she was here to apologize, so she didn’t target her.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” She was clearly thanking him, but her eyes were on Gu Jun’an.

Lan Qingqian also noticed this, so she asked loudly, “Miss Wei, is there a flower on the old son-in-law’s face? Why are you staring at him?” Her voice wasn’t soft, so the people sitting close to Gu Jun’an all looked over.

Wei Lianyi’s face heated up, and she immediately explained, “Your Highness, you misunderstood. I just came to apologize to the Prince and the Princess.”

Gu Jun’an said rudely, “It’s best if you misunderstand. Why are you still standing here?”

Wei Lianyi was hurt by his coldness and couldn’t say anything. In front of everyone, she could only silently leave.

Madam Wei sat by the side and said through gritted teeth, “I don’t know what kind of temper you have. You’re nice on the outside but cold on the inside. The Prince of the West Province isn’t the only one. You have to stay with him!”

Ever since Gu Jun’an came to the Imperial City, he had always been arrogant…
