After Shi Jinrou left, the grandmother asked Madam Su to find the Marquis.

The grandmother told the Marquis about Princess Anning's escape from marriage and Shi Jinrou wanted to arrange for her to come to the Marquis' Mansion.

After hearing this, Wu Yuehou remained silent, but his expression was obviously a little worried.

The lady took off the servants in the room and left her confidant Madam Su to serve her.

Madam Su glanced at Wu Yuehou who didn't say a word, took a deep breath, and asked softly: "Madam, Princess Anning's affairs..."

The lady glanced at Madam Su, then looked at Marquis Wu Yue and said:

"The Queen Mother has written several letters to me all these days. I originally thought that the marriage was not related to our Marquis' Mansion, so I didn't tell you. But now An Ning is going to hide from us, and I have to talk to you about some things."

Marquis Wu Yue was shocked and his body leaned forward involuntarily.

"According to the Empress Dowager, the Northwest Fanbians came to propose marriage to their Shanyu, and to marry the princess for their king. Originally, this matter had little to do with An Ning. Concubine Duan Shu suggested to the emperor that the seventh princess would marry him, but for some reason, the emperor refused to agree and insisted on letting An Ning marry him."

Marquis Wu Yue said: "This does have nothing to do with our Marquis' Mansion. Anyway, Honger will not be able to marry An Ning in the future."

The lady continued: "Duan Shufei strongly opposed the emperor's decision, which was in line with the Queen Mother's wish, because the queen mother was unwilling to let An Ning marry her. She said that An Ning's child's life was miserable and she had no parents since she was a child. She was reluctant to let her marry far away to the northwest of the bitter and cold land, and she didn't even have a caring person." After a pause, the lady continued with a wry smile:

"Although the Empress Dowager did not say it clearly in the letter, the meaning was expressed. If the emperor did not marry a princess of appropriate age, the Empress Dowager would not be willing to let go of her for the sake of the country. But now there is a seventh princess who is the right age and has a more suitable identity. Naturally, the Empress Dowager is unwilling to let An Ning go."

Wu Yuehou nodded in a clear way.

Madam Su also said, "So that's it! That's why the Queen Mother ordered the princess to leave the capital, right?"

The lady shook her head gently and said, "It cannot be said that the Empress Dowager An Ning left the capital, but it can be regarded as the empress dowager's acquiescence. However, An Ning is still a child after all, and some things are not handled properly. After she left the palace, she should at least tell the empress dowager where she was, but she only left a letter to the empress dowager, saying that she would rather die than marry, and that she would never return to the palace again. You guys, can the empress dowager not be worried or anxious?"

Marquis Wu Yue nodded, and couldn't help but admire his mother's eyesight for identifying people. Princess An Ning was so reckless and hasty when encountering things, and she was really not suitable to be the clan wife of the Marquis' Mansion.

"So, the Empress Dowager specifically told me in the letter that if An Ning has his whereabouts, she would tell me as soon as possible. It would be best if An Ning could just live in our mansion. She would take care of the emperor's place for us."

Marquis Wu Yue said in confusion and a little dissatisfied: "When will Princess Anning live in?"

The Madam said, "The marriage is just a proposal from Fanbian, and it has not been officially confirmed. Therefore, when the messengers from Fanbian leave, An Ning can go back. Besides, it is now the New Year, and the Queen Mother wants An Ning to go back to celebrate the New Year with her."

Wu Yuehou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! Princess Anning is so willful. If she stays in our mansion for a long time, she might cause something."

The lady smiled kindly and looked like she agreed with the words of Wu Yuehou.

When Wu Yuehou was resigning and preparing to go out, the grandma suddenly asked:

"By the way, when will Honger and the others come back? We won't celebrate the New Year in Beijing, right?"

"No, your daughter-in-law wrote that the mother and son will be back in a few days and will arrive at home on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month."

Princess Anning's affairs finally came to an end with everyone's efforts. Anning moved into the Marquis' Mansion of Wuyue. Because Di Qinglin pretended to be Princess Anning's guard, he was arranged to live in the outer house of the Marquis' Mansion. Moreover, no one asked who he was, nor did anyone care about who he was.

After Princess Anning moved into the Marquis' Mansion, she was still quite regular at the beginning. She had almost never taken a step forward at the Marquis' Mansion under the instructions of the Grandmaster. But after staying for a few days, Princess Anning became a little uneasy. She couldn't stand the loneliness in the Marquis' Mansion, and coupled with her longing for Di Qinglin, she secretly ran to the outside house when the Grandmaster was not paying attention, and asked Di Qinglin to leave the Marquis' Mansion and to play at the Yi'an Wharf and the market. Of course, for the sake of security, she wore men's clothing like Shi Jinrou, and Di Qinglin even disguised herself, so she really didn't cause any trouble to the Marquis' Mansion.

Princess Anning not only found out about Ran Yicheng in the Marquis' Mansion, but also inquired about Ran Yicheng in other places in Yi'an, but the grandmother said she had never seen him before, and the people of Yi'an knew nothing about General Xuanwei. In the end, Princess Anning concluded that Ran Yicheng was not in Yi'an at all.

Princess Anning also planned to find Shi Jinrou, but Shi Jinrou lived in the back house of the county yamen, and it was really inconvenient for the yamen runners to come and go, so Anning just thought about it and never really went to find Shi Jinrou.

During this period, the Empress Dowager sent another letter to the Madam, asking about An Ning's situation in the Marquis' Mansion, and inquiring about the news about Ran Yicheng for the Seventh Princess. As for the marriage, the Seventh Princess was just as irresistible as An Ning. She also wanted to leave the palace and leave the capital, but because her mother Duan Shufei saw that she was too strict, she had no chance to escape.

Because she was eager to know what happened to the marriage, An Ning personally wrote a reply to the empress dowager, and mentioned Ran Yicheng in the reply, asking the empress dowager to tell the seventh princess: Ran Yicheng had never been to Yi'an recently.

However, what Princess Anning did not expect was that the news about Ran Yicheng soon came to the third prince's ears, and soon Mr. Gu learned about it. While burning the secret report in his hand, he said to Mr. Duan with a smile:
