After Shen Ruzhou changed Xiao Ruohan's medicine, he stayed with her for more than an hour before leaving.

It's getting late, and people on the street are rushing home.

When Shen Ruzhou passed by the Regent's Mansion, he stopped in his tracks.

The former majestic palace is now deserted, with a seal on the door. It looks particularly lonely and desolate in the bleak wind.

When Shen Ru returned to the General's Mansion on Monday, Miao Dong greeted her, "Miss, something bad has happened. Second Uncle and his family are here."

Shen Ruzhou glanced at her lazily, "You're here as soon as you come, why is it so bad?"

"They, they..." Miaodong stuttered for a long time, not knowing what to say, and finally just replied, "Miss, just go and take a look."

While talking, the two of them arrived at the main hall.

Sitting inside were Shen Mu, Shen Yu, Shen Chumu and Shen Rumeng, plus the servants and maids. Although there was a room full of people, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was strangely quiet.

As soon as Shen Ruzhou stepped through the door, Shen Mu shouted sharply: "Kneel down."

Shen Ruzhou was stunned for a moment. He didn't want to disobey his father in front of outsiders, so he knelt down and asked, "Father, if my daughter has done something wrong, please tell me clearly."

With a "pop" sound, the second uncle Shen Yu slapped the table with his palm, pointed at her nose and cursed: "It's all because of you that Rumeng can't get married, and you still have the nerve to ask. Brother, let's do something about the family." , she is a scourge, causing trouble for everyone."

Shen Ruyi looked confused, "An Yitang came to deliver the betrothal gift this morning and also left a marriage certificate. Isn't the marriage already decided?"

"An Yitang came to break off the engagement again this afternoon." Shen Mu had a solemn face and a low voice.

"Come to break off the engagement again?" Shen Ruzhou slandered that he came to break off the engagement again just after being hired. This Anyitang is treating the marriage as a trivial matter.

"It must be you who caused Rumeng to have his engagement broken off." The second uncle grabbed the tea cup and was about to smash it. Fortunately, Shen Chumu had sharp eyes and grabbed his wrist and took the tea bowl away. "Second uncle, if you have something to say, don't do anything."

Shen Yu looked at Shen Chumu's stern face and did not dare to make another mistake, so she could only continue to Shen Ruzhou: "An Yitang said that the prince heard that he was going to marry the Shen family, so he called him over and scolded him and asked him to discuss the marriage. Return."

"Did the prince ask him to break off the engagement?" Shen Ruzhou felt confused, "What does this marriage have to do with the prince? Why did he stop it?"

Hearing this, Shen Rumeng, who had been biting her lip and bowing her head in silence, could no longer hold it in, "It's not because you offended the prince before. The prince is now causing trouble for the Shen family. It's all your fault. My good marriage is ruined." Ruined by you."

Seeing that she hated getting married, Shen Ruzhou asked seriously: "Do you really want to marry An Yitang?"

Shen Rumeng wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, I have always dreamed of marrying An Yitang."

She knew when she was very young that only by marrying into a noble family could she live a prosperous life.

"Don't regret it?" Shen Ruzhou raised his eyebrows and asked again.

Shen Rumeng stamped her feet and said, "It's not too late to talk about this now, An Yitang has already broken off the engagement."

Shen Ruzhou straightened his body and looked at Shen Rumeng with burning eyes, "Do you have to marry him? I heard that that person is very lustful."

What man is not lustful? Shen Rumeng only found it funny after hearing Shen Ruzhou's words. No matter how lecherous An Yitang was, she would still be the wife of the Duke of the country when she was married. This was something that many girls would never dream of.

"I just want to marry An Yitang and I won't regret it." Shen Rumeng said to Shen Ruzhou word by word.

"Okay." Shen Ruzhou said and stood up from the ground, raising his hand to pat the dust on his knees.

"Did I tell you to get up?" Seeing this, Shen Yu turned to Shen Mu and said, "Brother, she is getting more and more unruly. She must take action."

Before Shen Mu could speak, Shen Ruzhou said first, "Second uncle, if you want Shen Rumeng's marriage not to be annulled, just shut up."

She smiled apologetically at Shen Mu, "Father, since this matter happened because of me, then I will go to His Highness the Crown Prince to plead for mercy."

"Are you sure you can persuade the prince to change his mind?" Shen Mu pondered for a moment and then asked, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"Ruzhou is sure, just wait for my good news at home." Shen Ruzhou looked serious and determined as if he had issued a military order.

Next to him, Shen Chumu followed, "Father, let Ru Zhou try it."

"Okay, then go ahead." Shen Mu nodded in agreement. Shen Ruzhou immediately turned around and left the mansion for Prince Wucheng's mansion.

When Xiao Chenyan heard that his servants had come to report Shen Ruzhou's arrival, a big smile broke out on his face.

Seeing Shen Ruzhou push the door open and come in, Xiao Chenyan said hurriedly: "No need to salute, sit down quickly."

Shen Ruzhou pretended not to hear and bowed politely before sitting down on the soft stool.

"Your Highness, are you asking An Yitang to go to the Shen family to break off the engagement?" Shen Ruzhou asked straight to the point, too lazy to chat.

Xiao Chenyan supported his head with his arms and looked at her gently, "Ruzhou, you don't have to be afraid, even your father can't force you to get married?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Ruzhou just wanted to roll his eyes. No wonder Xiao Chenyan wanted to have a hand in it. It turned out that he thought she was the one who wanted to marry An Yitang.

"Your Highness, An Yitang is engaged to my cousin, not me." Shen Ruzhou said patiently, "You two are in love with me, so why should you interfere."

When Xiao Chenyan heard this, he realized that he had misunderstood and hurriedly made up for it, "I will ask Jun Wu to send a message to An Yitang now to take back the divorce letter."

With that said, he called Jun Wu to explain a few words, and Jun Wu accepted the order and resigned.

Seeing Xiao Chenyan's cooperation, Shen Ruzhou's attitude improved a lot, "How is your highness feeling today? Does the injury still hurt?"

"Much better, thanks to the medicine you left." Xiao Chenyan leaned on the soft couch, lying on his side and looked at Shen Ruzhou, and said in a gentle tone: "Ruzhou, when I was injured, all I could think about was you. You are here. I feel like I can get through it no matter how hard it is.”

"When I was most miserable, I was thinking of Your Highness." As soon as Shen Ruzhou's words came out, a look of surprise appeared on Xiao Chenyan's face, but after hearing what she said next, he could no longer be happy.

"When I think about those hellish days I lived with His Highness, I feel that no matter how hard it is now, it doesn't matter."

In Duke An's mansion, An Yitang sent Jun Wu off politely with a smile on his face one moment, and then started scolding her directly the next moment, "One moment he asked me to cancel the engagement, and the other moment he refused to do so. The prince is treating me like a monkey."

The entourage also felt aggrieved for him and said, "I don't want to bully people like this."

After a long time, An Yitang let out a long sigh, "Forget it, who calls me the prince? Let's go to the Shen family to apologize."
