Su He nodded, took Xiaodouzi with him, and left the yard.

"Of course I'm here to tell you the good news." Chu Lan glanced at the child, took out the oracle, and showed it to Ruan Ningxiang, "Father has agreed for me to take over this matter."

"I agree with what you are telling me." Ruan Ningxiang sat back on the swing chair again, and a cat jumped on her lap. "I am not the person in charge of this matter. You should report it to whomever."

Chu Lan thought that if she knew about this, she would be as happy as him. Why did she change her attitude so quickly?

Chu Lan took a step closer, looked around, and leaned over, "Is there a servant here watching you and it's inconvenient for you to speak?"

"What surveillance? I don't know what you are talking about?" Chu Yu hasn't come back yet. Ruan Ningxiang is afraid that he will bump into him and just wants to drive them away quickly. "It's so late at night. It's better for the Eleventh Prince to return to the palace as soon as possible."

However, this man was neither impatient nor impatient, and slowly put away his handwriting.

"It's still early to leave the palace gate, and this is my first time to come to your Zhao'an County Lord's Mansion." Chu Lan raised her eyes and looked at it, "Your mansion is so small. Once I have made a contribution, I will be here."

As my father suggested, I will give you a larger mansion to live in."

"I'm just one person, why do I live in such a big mansion?"

Chu Lan nodded in acquiescence, "Yes, that's right. The Lord of Zhao'an County will get married in the future. It really doesn't matter whether the County Lord's mansion is big or small. Just find a bigger mansion in the future."

"Who said I'm getting married?" Ruan Ningxiang got up and walked towards the house.

"You are already twenty, how can you remain unmarried for the rest of your life?" Chu Lan followed her, "But don't even think about it, General Shen. I heard that my father intends to betroth the sixteenth princess to him.

."

Ruan Ningxiang paused in her footsteps and raised her voice for a moment, "Sixteenth Princess?"

"Well, my father favored a palace maid after he was drunk. He gave birth to her, and she has never had any sense of existence." Chu Lan said, "Now she has just passed the age of hairpins."

Ruan Ningxiang frowned slightly.

No, the emperor should be afraid of General Shen. Why would he betroth the princess to General Shen?

I'm afraid there is something not so simple behind this matter.

"The two of them are ten years apart. The sixteenth princess is about to get married as soon as she reaches hairpin age. Isn't it too early?" Ruan Ningxiang asked.

Chu Lan didn't take it seriously and said: "There is no way, except for the sixteenth princess, there is no one else suitable in the right age."

"Do you know why the emperor suddenly wanted to betroth the sixteenth princess to him? Has anyone mentioned this in secret?"

"General Shen has meritorious service, so it is not normal for him to be granted a marriage in the future." Chu Lan thought she was sad, "What's so good about General Shen? I'll introduce you to some good children from aristocratic families after the congratulations are over."

."

"Thanks, no, I'm fine by myself." Ruan Ningxiang took the Spring Snow Knife and pulled it out hard, revealing the sharp blade, and in Chu Lan's eyes widened in astonishment, she swept the knife for killing.

The movements were very saucy, and Chu Lan's face changed slightly with fright, "If you want to practice swordsmanship, I won't disturb you anymore."

After coming out of the Zhao'an County Lord's Mansion, I patted my chest and realized that I had forgotten one thing.

He originally wanted to ask what to do specifically, but he was completely confused. Looking at the wooden door that was clearly closed, it seemed that he could only ask tomorrow.

When Ruan Ningxiang saw that he was gone, she put away the spring snow knife again.

A fragrant smell floated into the room. Ruan Ningxiang turned around and saw Chu Yu walking over with food in his hand, "Why is he here suddenly?"

Ruan Ningxiang didn't know when Chu Yu came back or how much she heard.

Ruan Ningxiang had a clear conscience and replied generously: "I mentioned something to him today, and he just came to say something to me."

"What's going on?" Chu Yu stared at her.

Chu Yu was so possessive that Ruan Ningxiang could vaguely feel that he was suppressing his emotions.

She didn't want to hide it or create a conflict, so she told Chu Yu what she had said to the eleventh prince today.

Ruan Ningxiang came over and hugged Chu Yu, "I can't ignore those people, and I don't want to make it too hard for you, sir. Besides, I've been getting up early and working late lately, and I'm very tired. I want to give up my job, so I push this matter to Ten A prince."

Chu Yu pinched the soft flesh on Ruan Ningxiang's face and said, "It's true that she has lost some weight. Then, I bought you your favorite roast duck and millet wine."

"It's better, sir." Ruan Ningxiang raised her feet and kissed the corner of Chu Yu's mouth.

A cheerful smile slowly appeared on Chu Yu's face.

Ruan Ningxiang said: "Go to the yard to eat."

The cool night breeze made the lanterns in the courtyard sway.

General Shen had just returned to the Shen Mansion and had not even had a cup of tea when the Sixth Prince sent someone to invite him over.

The Sixth Prince, Chu Ci, was sitting in a wooden wheelchair. He was dressed in a light blue brocade dress, making his temperament elegant. The Sixth Princess was pushing behind him.

It was only when I got closer that I realized that the Sixth Prince looked bad.

For the first time, the Sixth Prince seemed to have something to hide, but it was the Sixth Princess who spoke up, "Ogawa, what do you think about getting married?"

"What do you think?" Shen Lichuan was confused when asked.

"It's like this. Our people in the palace sent news that... the emperor wants to grant you a marriage."

"Marriage?" Shen Lichuan frowned slightly, "With whom?"

"Princess Sixteen?" Shen Lichuan knew clearly that it wouldn't be Ruan Ningxiang, but at that moment, he still vaguely expected it, "Why would it be her? Hasn't the emperor always been afraid of our Shen family army?"

The sixth princess came over. She knew her brother's mood best, "This sixteenth princess has a hidden disease. She has been deaf since she was a child and cannot speak.

"I guess that the emperor doesn't want to let you leave the capital, and wants to force you to stay in the capital by granting a marriage." Chu Ci said, "There is also a possibility that this is all a conspiracy of the prince. He wants to punish you with death for treason. ."

"Then what should we do?" Shen Lichuan said solemnly.

The Sixth Princess took Shen Lichuan's calloused hand and said, "We would like to ask you, what is your impression of Miss Liu who lives in your house?"

"Why are you bringing this up?"

"We want you to get married first before the imperial edict is issued." The Sixth Princess said, "As for the one you marry, the simpler the identity, the better. She is the only one I can think of."

Shen Lichuan's whole body was filled with anger. He clenched his fists, revealing the raised blood vessels on the back of his hands.

"My eldest brother died on the battlefield, and my father was framed and died on the battlefield. We, the Shen family, have worked hard for him over the years, but what we have gained is distrust!"
